Chapter 543: Sea Serpent Bites
With Zhao Wenchang's encouragement, the crew on the ship was even more powerful, at the beginning, there were still people who were worried that so many could not be sold, who knew that the bosses of the people called the door, saying that the goods were not enough.
In such a frenzied fishing, after only two days, an abundant catch was obtained, and almost half of the fishing boat was loaded.
"Go back and give everyone half a month's vacation. Guardian rewarded them and said.
With bonuses, salaries, etc., vacations are missing. Especially the new crew members, who have been here for almost two months, suddenly feel homesick.
Ye Wei was followed by Fang Zhen, and he was very happy. Here, not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also see the vast and mysterious ocean and learn a lot of things.
At the bottom of the sea, he chased a large lobster. This kind of lobster weighs more than two catties, and I heard that it sells for more than 1,000 in big cities.
He grabbed one of the tentacles on the lobster's head and pulled it out. But at this time, a danger approached. It was a sea snake that had been ambushed, and with lightning speed, it bit Ye Wei.
The slight feeling from his hand made Ye Wei let go of the big lobster, pinched the head of the sea snake, and rushed to the sea. He understands that being bitten by a sea snake will have very serious consequences, and he must catch up with it as soon as possible, otherwise the venom will attack the heart and die.
Before, Brother Hang, that is, their big boss, gave them a lesson and said that the sea snake is one of the most venomous snakes.
Trutruly, he shouted, "I was bitten by a poisonous snake." ”
When the people on the boat heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly pulled Ye Wei up. The sea snake did not let go, and when it was caught, it was possible to recognize what kind of poisonous snake it was, and it was targeted to detoxify.
Wei Hang was also startled, and hurriedly walked over to understand the situation.
He knew that sea snakes were similar to the cobra subfamily in that they were venomous snakes with grooved teeth. The tail is as flat as an oar, and the back of the trunk is slightly flattened. Known as one of the most venomous snakes in the world.
Looking at the sea snake that was caught, I saw that the front half was small. It is cylindrical in shape, with a thicker back half, and its tail is not as slender as a whip like a land snake, but flattened like an oar, and when swimming in the sea, it moves from side to side like a ship's oar.
"This is the long-snouted sea snake!" Gu Haichao said. He recognized it at a glance.
"Is it poisonous?" someone immediately asked.
"How can it not be poisonous, sea snakes are almost all poisonous snakes. However, the long-snouted sea snake is slightly less venomous. But if you are bitten, you have to treat it immediately, which is fatal. Of course. Don't worry, young man, we are here, plus the time of being bitten is very short, it will be fine, relax, relax!" Gu Haichao comforted.
The venom of sea snakes is among the strongest animal venoms. Hook-billed sea snake venom is equivalent to twice as toxic as cobra venom. The composition of sea snake venom is a cobra venom, but strangely enough, its venom damages the human body mainly to the voluntary muscles, not the nervous system.
Everyone looks at Ye Wei. There was some fear and panic in his eyes. If it were them, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better. After all, this is one of the most venomous snakes, and if it is bitten, it can die at any time.
"I thought I was going to die. Ye Wei said in a heartfelt voice.
It was still in the sea just now. As he struggled to rise, he felt his body start to paralyze, and he was worried about it. Actually, it's his psychological effect. The venom of the sea snake does not attack so quickly.
"Relax, there is exactly this serum on the ship, it's fine!" Wei Hang also comforted.
Gu Haichao and they helped to treat the wound. went all out to save it, and Weihang let everyone come up first. When something like this happened, he began to use Haizhu to explore the situation below, and found that there were actually quite a few sea snakes.
"Sea snakes have the habit of walking and swarming, and often thousands of them gather together to swim down the river, so it is safer to come up first. He spoke.
Because of this characteristic, the fertility mating of sea snakes is extremely spectacular, and whenever the breeding season comes, groups of female and male sea snakes often gather together, sometimes in the millions, chasing each other, and moving forward with the waves, and their teams can sometimes stretch for several kilometers. When they congregate in port, even ships find it difficult to navigate properly.
In the past, I have heard reports that in the Strait of Malacca, there was once a sea snake gathered together, lined up in a 1-meter-wide and 60-nautical-mile long "one" shaped snake formation, which was well organized and mighty, and the scene was very spectacular.
"Does it hurt?" Fang Zhen asked nervously.
After all, he brought the person out, and he must bring it back completely, otherwise I'm sorry for my relatives and friends!
Wei Hang said with a smile: "The sea snake bite is painless, and its poisonous attack has an incubation period, and there is no obvious poisoning symptom for half an hour or even three hours after being bitten by the sea snake, but this is very dangerous and easy to paralyze people." ”
In fact, the venom of the sea snake is absorbed by the human body very quickly, and the first thing to feel after poisoning is muscle weakness, soreness, drooping eyelids, and jaw rigidity, which is a bit like the symptoms of tetanus, and the heart and kidneys will also be severely damaged.
"Okay, don't gather around and create panic!" Gu Haichao rushed to the scene.
He then said to Wei Hang: "Xiao Hang, go and take out the serum." ”
After first treating the venom near the wound, Gu Haichao helped him bandage it, and then injected the serum. Let people help Ye Wei to rest inside, it is best not to exercise for a short time, it will speed up the circulation of blood, and the venom will also spread.
"Drink some water when you are thirsty, and don't let him get drunk. Gu Haichao admonished.
Fang Zhen could only be free and take care of this distant cousin personally.
"You kid, are you disturbing the sea snake? Brother Hang just said that under normal circumstances, the sea snake will not take the initiative to bite. According to Wei Hang's speculation, Ye Wei should have disturbed the sea snake when he caught the big lobster, so he attacked.
With a thick, large body, a slender and long neck, and a surprisingly small head, the sea snake almost exclusively feeds on burrowing eels. It is very likely that there was a moray eel burrow nearby at that time, and the sea snake originally wanted to lurk and catch it, but Ye Wei alarmed the moray eel and shrank back, which made the sea snake angry.
"I didn't know, I just caught that big lobster, and I was bitten. ”
"Fortunately, Brother Hang is well prepared, and the ship carries a lot of serums of sea snakes, otherwise this ghost place is called heaven and earth, and the earth is not spiritual, and he will die. "The main thing is that it is far away from land, and it will take a short time for the fishing boats to rush back, and it is too late.
"Take the ice pack yourself, don't move, if something happens to you, Aunt Eleven won't let me go. Fang Zhen continued.
Gu Haichao also reminded them just now that it is best to use ice packs and cold towels to apply cold compresses to the injured area, which can reduce the speed of toxin absorption and reduce the activity of enzymes in toxins. (To be continued.) )
