Chapter 0331: Secret for Secret (Second Update!)
Under the guidance of Chu Lianqiao, I carried her to the edge of the tributary.
I turned my head to look, Chu Forsythia's cheeks were slightly red, the sweat was slightly wet, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
"Carrying you across the river?" I smiled bitterly angrily, "I mean, it's time for you to come down, you can always walk the way across the river yourself, right?"
"Ah...... Oh!" Chu Lianqiao suddenly came back to his senses and was recited out of inertia.
Her legs swung slightly, and I put Chu forsythia down, and the two of them looked back, although they saw that there were not many snakes on the bank of the river, but it was obvious. There should be snakes coming after you from other places!
I waded down first, with Forsythia Chu following behind me, and I lifted my backpack above my head, and slowly the river flooded to my thighs, but fortunately it was still late summer and early autumn. Otherwise, crossing the river like this will definitely kill you cold!
The river is indeed as Chu Forsythia said, the deepest part is not until the hip position, the total width of the river is only six or seven meters, and it only took us a few minutes to reach the opposite bank, sitting on a pile of pebbles. Looking back at the other side of the river, there were already more than a dozen snakes swimming to the shore from unknown corners, and they were all swimming into the river without knowing whether they were alive or dead...... Fortunately, the river is fast enough, and the snake can't swim and is washed downstream!
I came back to my senses and looked at Forsythia Chu, who was rolling up her wet trouser legs, squeezing the blood from the wound hard, her calves as white as porcelain. But now it was obvious that the wound was swollen and slightly blue-black!
"You wait here for a while!" I said, and hurried to the grove not far away.
Chu Lianqiao sighed, and when he saw that I was running fast, he didn't have time to say anything, but stared at my backpack on the river beach, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes!
It's not difficult to find some herbs in the mountains, especially near the snakes, there must be some herbs to treat snake bites, so I quickly picked some herbs and came back, and then chewed them directly into a paste and applied them to the place where Chu Forsythia was bitten by a snake!
"You can chew these leaves yourself and eat them, it will be very bitter!" I handed a plant to Forsythia Chu, and there were still three or four leaves left on it.
Chu Lianqiao stared at me with a sparkle in his eyes, and sneered: "This is a 'snake tooth', it seems that you are really a medical student, and you even know that this leaf can treat snake venom?"
"You're not simple!" I stared at Chu Forsythia and said, "Not to mention the kung fu that is hidden in my body, I also know how to treat herbs for snake wounds, which is not something that ordinary people can know!"
"I followed Grandpa Dongsheng in the village to collect medicine a few times, and he told me that I learned some moves in my hometown when I knew kung fu, but I am still a little weaker than you!"
"It's good that a woman can get to your point!"
"Thank you—" Forsythia Chu smiled, chewing a few leaves and swallowing them, the bitterness made her frown slightly, and after a while she stared at the backpack in my hand and asked, "What is that thing you picked in the cave? Why do so many snakes chase us as if they are crazy? Snakes are not dogs, and under normal circumstances, snakes don't chase people!"
I stared at Forsythia Chu and hesitated: "I can tell you, but secrets for secrets, if you tell your secrets." I'll tell you the secret!"
