So they packed up and prepared to spend the night in the secret room.
Wenwen tugged at Yuxunting's clothes and said, "How about spending the night at the cave entrance? The skeleton remains in the secret room, and it feels a bit creepy."
I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after being bitten by poisonous snakes, those snakes would fly into the air. They were not the coral snakes recorded in the books, they just looked similar. It was all very weird.
He Hongchi looked around. The beads on the wall emitted a soft glow, and the ground was relatively flat and dry. "We'll just stay here at the cave entrance for one night, and we'll deal with the rest after daybreak."
Yu Xunting gently placed the person in his arms on the ground.
He put a quilt on the ground and held Wenwen to sit on it. "I brought two old quilts with me. The three of us can make do with them."
Only then did Wenwen realize that his big backpack contained not only food but also a quilt.
She put Cancan, who was sleeping like a little pig, on the quilt.
Yu Xunting made two trips to bring all the items they brought to the cave.
Finally, he brought over the pot of noodles that had been cooked long ago. "The noodles have turned into a paste. I heated them up. Let's have some." He scooped out two bowls of noodles and handed them to Wenwen and He Hongchi.
Wenwen held the bowl in her hands. Her stomach, which had been cramping from the shock tonight, smelled the steaming aroma of wheat and felt hungry.
She said to Yu Xunting: "Cousin, thank you for your hard work and for taking care of us."
Yu Xunting was drinking noodle soup and stopped when he heard it. "We are family and don't have different opinions. Eat and have a good sleep. You will feel better tomorrow."
The few of them finished their noodles in silence. Feeling exhausted from what they had experienced today, they lay down to rest early.
Wenwen felt like she was going crazy. She was bitten by a venomous snake and almost died. She finally returned to the cave to rest, hoping to have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, she was chased by a venomous snake.
She didn't dare stop and ran in the dark passage. Behind her were dense swarms of poisonous snakes, some of which flew into the air and tried to attack her.
Her scalp was tingling and her heel was almost bitten by a poisonous snake, when suddenly there was a light in front of her. Wenwen was overjoyed, she was saved.
Several Japanese pirates suddenly appeared in the light, and they raised their guns and pulled the triggers at themselves.
"No." Wenwen shouted.
She sat up, panting and trembling all over. Sunlight shone in from the cave entrance, and she stroked her still wildly beating heart.
It turns out that everything was just a dream.
Wenwen looked around and didn't see Yu Xunting and He Hongchi. She moved her hands and feet and found that her leg, which had been bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday, didn't feel numb.
She tried to stand up by holding onto the wall, feeling exhausted from not getting a good night's sleep.
At this time, Yu Xunting came in from outside and hurried forward when he saw the situation. "Dr. He said that you can't move around for the next two days."
Wenwen moved her injured leg and said, "It's much better today. Yesterday, my whole leg felt numb, but now it's gone."
Yu Xunting picked her up and said, "To be on the safe side, we have to listen to Dr. He. I will be your legs for the next two days."
Wenwen was startled by his sudden action and subconsciously hugged his neck.
Yu Xunting held her steadily and walked out of the cave, "I have prepared breakfast, you can eat it after you wash up."
He Hongchi sat on a rock outside the tent. "Girl, how do you feel today?"
After washing up, Wenwen swept away the fatigue she felt when she just woke up. "I feel much better today. The snake venom should be gone."
He Hongchi pressed three fingers on her pulse and let go for a long time. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Wenwen was still terrified when she recalled her dream last night. "I was chased by poisonous snakes all night, and finally died at the hands of the Japanese."
He Hongchi frowned upon hearing this, "You still have to be careful. There's still some snake venom in your body. I didn't expect it to affect your nerve center."
Yu Xunting handed her a bowl of millet porridge and said, "The snake venom has not yet cleared up. You can't move around for the next two days. If you want to go anywhere, just call me."
He Hongchi crushed the two herbs left over from last night. He uncovered Wenwen's wound covered with the herbs, washed it with spring water, and then applied fresh herbs.
"The wound has returned to its normal color, not purple-black. This means this herb is the antidote to the snake venom."
Wenwen finished her millet porridge and said, "I didn't expect this snake venom to be so strong. The poison-clearing pills used to remove other snake venoms can only suppress and delay the spread of the venom, but they can't eliminate the venom."
"So you are not destined to die. Find the herb that can cure the snake venom."
Yu Xunting looked at the little monkey jumping up and down in the tree. "There's another strange thing. The poisonous snake that Cancan killed last night, when I went to check this morning, the dead snake that was originally on the ground had disappeared."
Wenwen was shocked. "I killed a lot of poisonous snakes last night, how come they're gone?"
"At least dozens of poisonous snakes were killed. There are messy drag marks on the grass, and there are many small caves under the big rocks." Yu Xunting recounted what he observed in the morning.
He Hongchi looked serious. "You mean there were poisonous snakes out last night, and you dragged the dead ones back?"
Yu Xunting nodded, "Judging from the traces at the scene, this is correct."
Wenwen felt her hair stand on end when she heard this. "How weird! They're not going to abandon their companions' bodies?"
"From what I understand, the venomous snakes are dragging the corpses of their companions back to their nests to feed their young."
Wenwen looked at He Hongchi and said, "Master, maybe we can drag him back and share the food."
He Hongchi shook his head. "Poisonous snakes have to share their food. Why bother dragging them back? Wouldn't it be easier to eat them outside?"
Yu Xunting continued, "If that's the case, it's even more troublesome. There's a large nest of venomous snakes under the stone."
"Cancan said that these two big rocks didn't exist before, and he couldn't remember when they appeared."
Yu Xunting frowned slightly. "These two huge rocks must weigh at least several thousand pounds. Who could easily move them here? What's hidden under the rocks?"
"Maybe they found a snake nest down there, so they're pressing it down with big rocks." She shook her head in denial, "Even with big rocks, the snakes will still come out."
With a "splash", water splashed in the hot spring pool not far away, and suddenly a smell of sulfur came.
"There's another strange thing. Snakes are afraid of sulfur, but poisonous snakes are not. Logically speaking, there are hot spring pools here, so there shouldn't be snakes nearby." He Hongchi was puzzled.
"Since there are so many suspicious points under this big rock, let's lift the rock up and everything will become clear." Wenwen suggested eagerly.
The two looked at her as if she were an idiot. He Hongchi sighed, "Disciple, you must have been bitten by a venomous snake and become stupid. Not to mention how to move such a heavy stone, if there is really a venomous snake nest underneath, how are we going to deal with it?"
Yu Xunting nodded in agreement, saying that one should not act rashly.
"Moving the stone isn't difficult, but the poisonous snakes are tricky, and there are so many of them." Wenwen frowned as he thought.
