Seeing the python pounce, although Li Qingyun was bathed in the rain, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his body. The range of objects ingested in a small space is about 8 meters, but in the face of this big python, he doesn't know that the distance of 8 meters can be faster than its degree.
At the moment when the python pounced, the two hunting dogs did not retreat, with a snort, they both pounced, and when they approached the python, they jumped out more than one person high, like a leopard, brave and unparalleled, and the confusion could swallow them regardless of the python's open mouth.
In an instant, Li Qingyun opened fire! Regardless of whether he could hit or not, he had to help the gold and copper coins distract the python's attention.
Bang!bang!**, you can only fire up to two shots in a row!
I saw the attacking figure of the python for a moment, and its head instantly fell to the ground, but it was not shot, and its body rolled, and its tail was pumped from behind to the two hunting dogs that pounced.
The hound was in mid-air, unable to dodge, but probably kicked the tail of the python with its two front paws.
With a muffled bang, the gold and copper coins were pumped more than ten meters away at the same time and fell into the bushes behind Li Qingyun. But the python also hissed in pain, leaving seven or eight scales, and in one place there was even a piece of tender meat that was grabbed by the hound.
It stood up, opened its big mouth, its eyes flickered, and stared at Li Qingyun. And Li Qingyun estimated the distance, motionless, and also stared at the python.
The python seems to be clumsy, but in fact, it is extremely fast, and even the leopards in the forest dare not confront it head-on. Li Qingyun had no choice but to shoot, but before he shot, he knew that he would definitely not be able to hit, unless he was unlucky, he could happen to hit the python's head or the seven-inch vital point at the neck bone.
One person and one python did not move first, each had his own concerns, and was in a stalemate. The python was extremely sensitive, and it sensed a danger from Li Qingyun, which made it a little irritable. The sudden forward pounce just now was just to scare off the two hounds, because they were blocking their way home. However, it didn't expect that it was just a fake deterrent feint, but it attracted the ruthless attack of the two little hounds, as well as the counterattack of humans, which made it feel a kind of anger that it was difficult to ride a tiger.
The two hounds jumped out of the bushes, still alive, unharmed, and unaffected in the slightest. However, he didn't take the initiative to attack again, just guarded in front of Wang Yu, grinning his teeth, hating and fearing this big monster, not knowing how to attack.
And Li Qingyun also has doubts, first, he is worried about whether he can take this big python into a small space, and second, after taking it in, the environment in the small space will not be destroyed by it. The first worry is that if it fails, there is no need to think about it below, because the life is gone, and what kind of small space environment is there.
Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, unusually loud, as if it was right in my ears. The python shuddered with fright, slid into the jungle beside it, clinged to the ground, and soon ran away.
Li Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to the camp with the two hunting dogs, wondering as he ran, pythons generally don't take the initiative to attack, what kind of luck did they take today, and they were attacked by the other party when they saw the python? Either that place was its territory, or it was just frightened...... However, judging from the current weather conditions, it is more likely to be frightened.
Li Qingyun ran to the camp in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, Michelle was still there, not eaten by the python, the tent and the small bamboo hut were also there, and there were no other beasts attacking. The chicken porridge in the small bamboo pole shed is exuding a charming fragrance and is about to overflow.
Michelle had been in the tent and observing the movement, and when she saw Li Qingyun running back panting, she was very surprised: "Yun, what's going on......?" ...... on your shoulders and back There's that...... Leech, leech!"
Li Qingyun heard Michelle pointing behind him and screaming, thinking that the python was chasing him, he turned around suddenly and didn't see anything. When she stammered and said the word "leech" for a long time, Li Qingyun suddenly slapped her shoulders and back a few times.
The palm of the hand really touched some soft and slippery insects, which is more disgusting than poisonous snakes in the mountains, and the local people call it mountain locusts, which not only suck blood, but also like to drill into people's bodies.
I used to hear the old hunter in the village tell that he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield in Vietnam, and he used to bathe in the woods and was bitten by mountain locusts several times.
Although this story is a bit exaggerated, and even a little absurd, it makes Li Qingyun remember it deeply, and when he thinks of the situation when the mountain locust burrows into the bladder from the horse's eye, it is a chill, and the hairs stand up.
Li Qingyun slapped his body several times, only three finger-like fat mountain locusts were knocked down, and a few of them had already penetrated into the flesh and could not be knocked off. However, in this case, you can't pull hard, and if you break its suction cup, it will be even more troublesome. Not only can it become infected, but it can also fester, with even more terrible consequences.
"Michelle, bring me the sulfur powder from the tent? What? You don't know what sulfur is? Oh, shit, I forgot that word, it's in the tent, I used it yesterday and didn't put it in my backpack. Forget it, you can have insecticides or mosquito bites in your backpack!"
Li Qingyun was very afraid of this kind of thing, he thought that there would be rain in the forest on a rainy day, and the mountain locusts should not be able to bite, but he didn't expect to bite more than ten at once, I don't know how much blood they sucked, it was so disgusting.
In her anxiety, she forgot how to say many words, but fortunately, Michelle often explored in the wild and knew how to deal with this mountain locust.
Michelle hurriedly found a bottle of mosquito bite potion from her backpack and asked Li Qingyun to stand in the small bamboo shed and spray it on the mountain locust on his back. As soon as the potion was sprayed on the mountain locust, these soft-bodied insects twisted and wriggled for a while, as if they had been pricked by a needle, and withdrew the head sucker from Li Qingyun's skin, and with a click, they fell to the ground, writhing their bodies in pain.
The rest of them were in the same situation, as soon as they encountered the potion, they fell from Li Qingyun's body and were trampled to death by Li Qingyun, who was so disgusting. However, the last little locust burrowed so deep in its shoulder that its whole body was about to burrow into it, and the potion could not fall on it.
"What should I do?Yun, this last one drilled too deep, and it didn't come out after spraying a lot of medicine!" Michelle was also afraid of these molluscs, but she felt that she could finally do something for Li Qingyun, so she endured her fear and got rid of the insects for it. It's just that the last one got too deep and almost made her cry.
"There's only one left, it's okay, wait a minute, you can use a knife to help me cut the skin!" Li Qingyun said, checking his body again, and found two mountain locusts six or seven centimeters long from his head.
Li Qingyun recalled the process of entering the forest, he had always been very careful, only when he encountered a python, he forgot to guard against the mountain locusts in the surrounding branches or grass, and it may have been at that time that he was stung by them.
Li Qingyun ran back to the tent, found the sulfur powder, and took out the hunting knife, telling Michelle to try again. If the sulfur powder doesn't work, you can only use a knife to cut the skin and pull out the little locust that doesn't know the depths.
Probably because the mountain grasshopper had sucked its fill, it retreated a little, and when the sulfur powder was sprinkled on it, it finally felt pain, writhed its fat body, and withdrew from the wound.
After falling to the ground, he was trampled to death by Li Qingyun.
This experience made Li Qingyun deeply understand a truth, having a small space is not much better than others, if he encounters a big python or a poisonous snake, or even such a small mollusc worm, it may make him hate it.
The next step was to treat the wound, because the wound that had been bitten by the locust was bleeding nonstop. This is because when a locust bites a person, it secretes a hemolysin that dissolves red blood cells so that the blood in the wound cannot clot quickly.
Li Qingyun stood in the heavy rain and drenched it for a while, rinsing the blood away, and then asked Michelle to help him rub the iodine wine. However, to Michelle's surprise, the wound on Li Qingyun's body quickly stopped bleeding, and even had a preliminary scarring feeling, this healing ability was too surprising.
And Li Qingyun checked the gold and copper coins, and now there were no mountain locusts on them, which was quite surprising, in the grass after the rain, the mountain grasshoppers were swarming, and it was good luck that they were not bitten. However, seeing that the fur of these two hounds was as smooth as satin, and when they ran, they could not even hide the fleas, and even if there were really mountain locusts landing on them, they would have swayed away.
This toss made Li Qingyun hungry, and he diced the mushrooms and sprinkled them into the boiled porridge. At this time, I can't leave the edge of the pot, so I squat there and stir, afraid of sticking to the bottom. After boiling for more than ten minutes, the flavor of the shiitake mushrooms dissolved into the porridge, and then the coriander foam was sprinkled into it and the pot was brought down from the fire.
"Yun, it's really dangerous for this little green! The next time you go into the woods, you must remember to put on your clothes! This time it's on your back and shoulder, if it's on the man's place, I really don't know how to start." Michelle was eating the special chicken porridge, feeling extremely delicious, in a good mood, and already interested in him.
Li Qingyun was shocked, but he was in no mood to flirt with her: "The locusts are just a little disgusting, and they won't hurt people's lives." On the way back from picking wild vegetables, I encountered a python about ten meters long, and it actually took the initiative to attack me, which is called horror. If I hadn't confronted it, the locusts wouldn't have fallen on me. ”
Michelle exclaimed, "What? There's a ten-meter python around here? Oh, that's bad news! Pythons are very aggressive when they're hungry, or when they're frightened, and they look like ordinary beasts." We'll have breakfast and we'll get out of here?"
A bowl of chicken porridge, a box of canned beef, plus the spicy radish strips that Li Qingyun took out from the "backpack", the meat and vegetable matching, it is very good for rice.
But after hearing that there was a big python nearby that took the initiative to attack humans, Michelle suddenly lost her appetite, and it was impossible for her to be in the mood to ** Li Qingyun, so let Li Qingyun live in peace for a while and eat this breakfast calmly.
"Rushing in the rain? This is really not a good idea! Maybe it's more dangerous than being chased by a python!" Li Qingyun said, pouring the remaining little porridge to the two hunting dogs, but as soon as he looked up, he suddenly screamed, pointed to the place where the dead dog was hung just now, and asked, "What about the wild dogs we killed yesterday? I was obviously hanging there, why is it gone?"
"Has the python been here, can you still see the dead wild dog corpse?" Michelle screamed, frightened by her own inference, her face was paler than Li Qingyun, "Oh, God, we must leave immediately! Could it be that our camp is entrenched in the territory of the python?"
