Chapter 221 Electrolyte Imbalance
Although the gorilla didn't understand Chu Qiao's words, it understood Chu Qiao's gestures. The gorilla was leisurely scratching the lice on its body, as if it had nothing to do with it and was not concerned.
Chu Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't solve it, you will suffer too."
The gorilla seemed to understand and stopped catching lice. "Jump down from the height, pick up a big rock, and smash it down on the black bear's feet."
"Ah--" The black bear roared and jumped up. Its heavy body made the water drip buzzing, and thick blood flowed from its feet.
Seeing that his attack was successful, the gorilla picked up the stone and returned to the tree, aiming at the other foot and throwing it down.
Chu Qiao shook his head. "I finally understand why, during evolution, only monkeys evolved into humans. Their brains are truly extraordinary."
"It knew it had to help, but it also wanted to protect itself, so it kept attacking from a distance."
"But I have to say, this guy deserves credit."
The black bear was attacked from three directions at the same time and began to be unable to take care of itself.
Chu Qiao said to Xiao Diao, "You're on the left, I'll be on the right. The gorilla in the tree behind is throwing rocks, which just leaves a path for him. I hope he'll be sensible."
Sure enough, the black bear's animal instinct made it lose control and it fled in panic.
As he fled, a trail of blood was left on the ground.
Chu Qiao buried the bloodstains, fearing that it would attract other wild animals.
Seeing that the enemy had escaped, the gorilla on the tree jumped down from the tree, picked up the lotus root left by Chu Qiao and put it into his mouth without any hesitation, making a crunching sound.
Chu Qiao frowned. This uninvited guy was really rude.
Chu Qiao did not have a good impression of the culprit of this unexpected disaster.
"Xiao Diao, get out of here."
Chu Qiao rolled onto the bed and said coldly.
Xiao Diao moved instantly, and before the gorilla could get up and climb onto the branch, he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Diao.
Xiao Diao wanted to continue attacking, but Chu Qiao said, "Just quit while you're ahead. Just let it go quickly."
Xiao Diao looked at the gorilla with burning eyes.
The gorilla looked at the lotus roots, jumped unwillingly to another treetop, and disappeared in the night.
After this ordeal, Chu Qiao lost all desire to sleep and added a handful of firewood to the fire.
Xiao Diao was panting and lying limply on the ground. Just now, because of the approaching danger, Xiao Diao instinctively gathered his strength to fight, but two days of diarrhea had caused his electrolyte imbalance, and coupled with the high-intensity physical exertion, his body became extremely weak.
What happened to my little wolf cub?
【Wasn’t he very brave just now?】
[Injured?]
Chu Qiao picked up Xiao Diao, petting her while checking her for any injuries. Sure enough, there were three scratches on Xiao Diao's back, staining the surrounding fur red.
Chu Qiao carefully mashed the banyan leaves into a paste and applied it on the affected area.
But looking at Xiao Diao's red eyes, Chu Qiao was still worried and said, "I think Xiao Diao has an electrolyte imbalance. Usually in the hospital, the doctor will decide whether to supplement electrolytes based on the severity of the diarrhea."
"The situation is similar for humans and animals. If you have diarrhea two or three times a day, it's not a big problem. But if you have diarrhea five or six times a day or more, you may have an electrolyte imbalance."
"Electrolyte imbalance requires proper electrolyte supplementation. Generally, at home, you can drink some light salt water and fruit juice, because salt water contains sodium chloride and fruit juice contains potassium chloride. You can also go to the hospital to check for electrolyte loss and perform intravenous registration."
"But the main problem now is the lack of salt and wild fruits."
Chu Qiao fed Xiao Diao some flower petal water and couldn't help but feel regretful that he shouldn't have brought it here.
It was pitch black all around. Xiao Diao was lying on the ground on his side, without any extra movements except breathing.
Chu Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find some alternatives."
Chu Qiao carried Xiao Diao back to the tree house, picked up the stone axe, and walked into the darkness alone.
[Master Chu, a black bear just attacked us. Don't go there.]
[I'm really worried that another big guy will show up.]
[No, no, bless you...]
【Can’t I not go?】
Chu Qiao shook his head: "Xiao Diao's condition is not good. He is severely dehydrated. I want to find some wild fruits to supplement his nutrition."
In the darkness, the drone was like a firefly, and it didn't play a big role. Chu Qiao felt insects jumping on her legs from time to time, and plants with different touches scratched her skin.
Whenever Chu Qiao passed by a tree, he would stop, touch its leaves, and identify the species of the tree.
This is a cedar tree.
This...pine tree.
Banyan tree.
…
As they got farther and farther away from the camp, they were surrounded by the dark jungle. Chu Qiao was so worried about Xiao Diao that he didn't care about anything else. However, the netizens in front of the screen felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
[Master Chu, let's go back and look for it tomorrow during the day.]
I agree, it's horrible.
【Don't look for it anymore.】
Chu Qiao originally wanted to close the live broadcast room to avoid disturbing everyone's sleep, but she still needed the weak light from the drone.
Chu Qiao apologized, "If you feel scared, go and rest first. I'll look for her again."
[Chu Qiao wasn't afraid even when he was there, so why are you afraid?]
[That's right, I'll accompany Master Chu to look for it.]
[Tonight, if Master Chu doesn't sleep, I won't sleep either.]
[We have so many eyes, please help Master Chu keep an eye on things.]
【Agree.】
…
Chu Qiao didn't expect so many people to support her. She smiled and said, "Thank you to my friends who support me. I would also like to thank you all on behalf of Xiao Diao."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he did not dare to delay and continued to move forward.
Chu Qiao suddenly stopped and heard a sound above her head. With her years of experience in outdoor survival, she was sure that the sound was not the wind blowing through the leaves.
Chu Qiao raised his head and looked at the treetops, which were constantly swaying up and down. They were covered with leaves and were blurry in the darkness.
The drone flew towards the treetops. Chu Qiao looked at the light curtain. Under the night vision function, two light bulb-like luminous objects were swaying at the treetops.
[Oh my god, something is shining.]
【Eye? 】
[There really aren't ghosts.]
[Damn it, it’s late at night, don’t scare me.]
Chu Qiao looked at the pair of eyes that were familiar in color and size, and said sternly, "Come down, I've seen you."
A pair of long arms hooked onto the branches, and a black shadow quickly jumped down from the tree, ready to stand in front of Chu Qiao without a doubt.
The drone then captured its full picture.
【Isn’t this the gorilla? 】
[Not necessarily. All gorillas look similar.]
[Master Chu, is it that gorilla? ]
Chu Qiao looked at the gorilla's head. She remembered that the gorilla was patted on the head by Xiao Diao, leaving a mark.
Sure enough, where Chu Qiao looked, there was a red scratch mark on its red forehead.
Chu Qiao calmed down and said, "You have been following me for a long time. What are you following me for?"
The gorilla scratched his head, which was short of hair, pointed forward, and then pointed at himself.
"Do you know what I'm looking for?"
The gorilla nodded and ran towards the northwest.
