Chapter 196: A nest of snakes and rats
"Xiao Zhong, how do you feel?"
"I... I feel good!" Xiao Zhong blocked the light from the bonfire outside with both hands, and suddenly sat up, looking very excited, "Consultant, Lao Huang, I'm fine, you can get up and hurry now, let's hurry to an open place, and then send a signal to let the people from the company find us!"
Nie Zheng glanced at Lao Huang and knew that Xiao Zhong was already a little confused, so Nie Zheng pressed Xiao Zhong's shoulder and told him to lie down.
"Let's go tomorrow, Qingqing hasn't slept enough!"
"Okay, then let's go tomorrow, consultant, if you're tired, I'll carry Qingqing for you!"
"Thank you!" Nie Zheng turned to Lao Huang and said, "You go out and get some water and come in." ”
Lao Huang hurriedly brought in the boiled water and let Xiao Zhong drink a little, Xiao Zhong was like a toy that had come to the end of a clockwork, and after some excitement, he collapsed and stopped talking.
Xiao Zhong's condition is not a fever after breaking his muscles and bones, it is estimated that there is a little bacterial infection, if the fever does not go away tonight, the consequences are unimaginable.
When she was at home, Tang Ning refused to take medicine, and Nie Zhengshang could use egg whites to reduce her fever, but in the wilderness, although there were many small birds, it was difficult to find bird eggs for a while.
"Lao Huang, you take care of Xiao Zhong, I'll go to the creek to scoop some cold water and come back!"
Nie Zheng walked out of the house, walked back to his room quickly, leaned in, the little princess slept very peacefully, he gently touched Qingqing's forehead, everything was fine, and immediately walked to the stream.
The eight triggers next to the creek are still tense, and there are no animals that have thrown themselves into the net.
Nie Zheng carried cold water with potato leaves, and when he returned to Xiao Zhong's house, he couldn't care much, so he poured cold water directly on his head.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Zhong snorted softly, and his expression seemed to stretch a little.
"Hey, if only I were in the countryside, I could find plantain, square grass and other herbs anytime and anywhere...," Lao Huang muttered to himself.
"Herbs?" Nie Zheng groaned slightly, "By the way, when I was building a dam to fish for shrimp just now, I seemed to see a purple-red plant next to the stream..."
Nie Zheng wasn't sure if it was the kind of herb he imagined, so he immediately grabbed a torch and ran towards the stream.
"Hey, this little Zhong is really Zhong Kui's grandson!" Nie Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Eighteen or nineteen meters will not kill him, he has a fever, and there are herbs nearby." ”
Nie Zheng shone the torch on the ground, those purple-red plants, growing small flowers like cockroaches, he recognized, these herbs are called cockroach grass, there are often by the small river in the countryside, ordinary medicine farmers will collect back, dry it, and sell it when rushing to the market.
This kind of herbal medicine is peaceful, people of any physique can take it, it can reduce fever and heat dissipation, and can also treat the general cold and flu, it is a kind of good medicine in the countryside, and the countrymen in order to coax children to drink, when decocting the medicine, add a piece of sugar, not to mention, it tastes good.
Nie Zheng immediately picked a large handful, stuffed a part of it into the mineral water bottle, poured water, boiled it on the bonfire, and the other part was simply placed on the stone, pounded it vigorously with the handle of the knife, and after squeezing out the juice, he couldn't care about it much, and poured a little lime directly into Xiao Zhong's mouth, anyway, the lime contains calcium, and no one can die.
"Lao Huang, you take care of Xiao Zhong, feed him medicine, if he sweats, you wipe him and take off his clothes, you can't let the wet clothes cover your body, I'll go to the creek to pick some cockroach grass..."
Nie Zheng is iron hearted, anyway, the top priority is to reduce Xiao Zhong's fever, as for whether it is good to eat too many herbs, this will be decomposed next time, saving his life, modern medicine is so developed, and there are other problems, and then it will be bothering the doctor.
"Squeak--squeak--squeak--"
As soon as Nie Zheng walked to the side of the stream, he heard a noise, and it turned out that there was a trigger mechanism that had already worked and was trapping a mouse the size of a cat.
"Hey, when Xiao Zhong's fever subsides, it's just right to use you to make up for his body!"
Call!
Nie Zheng was about to step forward and give the mouse a knife, after all, the guy just gave a foot, the mouse has a very high IQ, as long as it is not immediately fatal, it is still possible to escape, under the moonlight, a little phosphorescence made Nie Zheng suddenly retract his steps.
He raised his torch, and it turned out that one meter in front of the mouse, there was a cobra, and the snake god was about seventy or eighty centimeters upright, that is, the total length of this snake was estimated to be more than two meters.
It turned out that the rat was also the cobra's food tonight, and it was about to catch the turtle in the urn, but it found out that Nie Zheng was coming, and the snake also had scruples about the torch, but it didn't want to give up the delicious food that was readily available, so it roared and signaled Nie Zheng to leave.
Nie Zheng sighed in his heart, "This little bell is really lucky to have no friends, I heard the old man in the countryside say that when the Buddha was cultivating under the Bodhi tree, it rained heavily, and a cobra straightened up to block the rain for the Buddha, and the Buddha pressed it on its neck in order to reward it, so there are two eye-like spots on the cobra's neck, which can frighten the enemies who attack it from behind, since you are the Buddha's person, it's just right, sacrifice yourself to save the little bell!"
Nie Zheng was happy, and in the middle of the night, he didn't dare to deal with the cobra with his bare hands.
He snapped a twig about two meters long and stretched it out in front of the cobra.
Call!
The cobra immediately attacked, Nie Zheng's hand shook, pressed a branch on the snake's head, and without thinking much, he stepped forward, pulled out the knife in his boots, and cut off the snake's head with a knife.
He used a knife to pick a hole in the ground and buried the snake's head, the country legend says that after the head of the poisonous snake is cut off, it can still attack people within a few hours, and I heard that it will jump up and attack, Nie Zheng would rather believe it and bury it, and it will be a hundred.
The so-called "dead snake rotten eel" means that after the snake dies, the internal organs must be removed immediately, otherwise the snake meat will soon deteriorate.
Nie Zheng picked up the snake's belly, picked out the snake gall, peeled off the snake, removed the snake skin and internal organs, he looked at the mouse, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow breakfast--- a nest of snakes and rats!"
Nie Zheng simply killed the rat, cleaned it up, thought about it, and chopped off the rat's head and scratching words.
"Lao Huang, pick up the little bell!"
Nie Zheng, who entered the house, immediately commanded, Lao Huang took the order, helped Xiao Zhong up, and the two fingers of Nie Zheng's left hand pinched his cheeks, making his mouth open, and the snake gall gently sent in.
"Xiao Zhong, don't bite, just swallow it!"
"Well, bite!" Xiao Zhong said in a daze, and then his eyes widened, his expression was very hideous, Nie Zheng saw it accurately, covered his mouth with one hand, and shouted: "I don't want to die, swallow it!"
It turned out that Xiao Zhong was in a daze and thought that Nie Zheng asked him to bite the thing in his mouth, he bit it down, and the whole person was sober, and at this moment he was yelled at by Nie Zheng, so he had to endure the bitterness and swallow the snake gall.
"It's so bitter, it's so bitter!"
"Don't spit it out, or you won't get better!" Nie Zheng threatened as he fed him a sip of water.
"Heh---" Xiao Zhong let out a long sigh of relief, and his face gradually became bloody.
"Okay, okay! Xiao Zhong, this guy probably won't die!" said Lao Huang Xi.
"Wipe his sweat for him!" Nie Zheng left a sentence and quickly ran out of the house, he wanted to concoct a "nest of snakes and rats"!
