Chapter 45: Salvation
The sky was dark, the rain kept falling, and it was impossible to effectively distinguish the direction, Xu Fan just judged the left and right sides by virtue of the flood rushing down, in this stormy flood, the two of them were like rootless duckweed, and they tried to lean over to the side a little bit.
Fortunately, after Zhang Shuying listened to Xu Fan's words, she quickly calmed down, did not struggle in a panic, and let Xu Fan take her to fight in the flood.
Fortunately, after drifting for a while, Xu Fan's hand touched a hard object in the dark, and carefully looked at it, it was a big tree, hugged it, and pulled Zhang Shuying over and said: "Squad leader, quickly hold on to the big tree, try to float your body, don't hang down." ”
From the two of them being swept away by the flood to now, Xu Fan doesn't know how far he has rushed, but he can be sure that he is still in the mountains and forests, who knows what is submerged under this storm, in case he is accidentally scratched by a dark object, it is safest to keep his body stable on the horizontal plane.
"Uh-huh!" At this time, Zhang Shuying listened to Xu Fan's words, and after answering, he hugged the floating tree tightly with both hands, kept hitting the water with his feet, and tried to make his body float.
The sound of rain and water was very loud all around, and Xu Fan could still hear the movement of Zhang Shuying slapping the water with a shout, but after looking at this side, he tried his best to paddle under the water with his feet, and leaned the big tree to the side as much as possible.
Although the effect of this force is very small in this rapid flood, it is also a hard work and a reward, and the floating trees slowly move to the side at an undetectable speed.
Bang! With a slight impact, Xu Fan, who was climbing on the big tree, clearly felt that the big tree was loaded with things, and he stopped floating, and couldn't help but shout with joy: "Squad leader, hurry, ride the big tree, come this way with me," he dragged Zhang Shuying's arm as he spoke, and then moved to the side with his hands crossed.
"Hmm!" Zhang Shuying's voice in response was a little weak, and the movement of coming to the side was very difficult, leaning over little by little.
"Squad leader, hurry up," Xu Fan couldn't see the specific situation on Zhang Shuying's side, but he could feel that she was a little more distant from herself, and then she reverberated again, stretched out her feet and hooked her waist and said, "I'll help you." ”
At this time, Zhang Shuying didn't speak, and with Xu Fan's help, he tried to move to the side, and the speed was a little faster than before.
But soon Xu Fan felt that something was wrong, the more he dragged it heavier, and finally it was like she was dragging the squad leader over, but she didn't make a little effort, stopped moving, and was just about to let go of her feet, she immediately felt her feet sinking, and hurriedly clamped Zhang Shuying hard, and then forced her waist to let herself arch, and then let go of her feet after holding Zhang Shuying's armpit with one hand.
"Squad leader, squad leader," Xu Fan hung Zhang Shuying on the big tree again, shaking and shouting, but there was no reaction, he was shocked, and hurriedly spread his hand in front of her forehead.
"It's so hot! It's terrible," Xu Fan exclaimed, turned his hand, hugged Zhang Shuying, and half leaned on the edge of the tree, leaning on his foot and the other hand to the shore.
The heat from the palm of her hand, Xu Fan Zhang Shuying already had a high fever, and now she can't wake up, plus she has snake venom on her body, the situation is already very critical, she can't be delayed, she must go ashore as soon as possible, and she must get effective treatment, otherwise a bad one will really kill the jade soul.
Fortunately, the god of luck did not abandon them, after Xu Fan moved a short distance, he touched a hard object under his feet, and his face also touched a soft thing, he didn't need to look at it to know that it was a leaf, and there were naturally branches under his feet.
After finishing this, Xu Fan freed his right hand and took out a flashlight from the jade pendant space, which he put in when he was at home, turned on the switch, and looked forward with the beam.
A short distance ahead was a rushing current, and in the past it was a meadow, which had also been submerged, but not deep enough for the weeds to submerge their roots, and a little further away was a large tree.
Seeing this situation, Xu Fan knew that the land in front of him was safe for the time being, and he was overjoyed, so he didn't dare to delay, put the flashlight in his mouth, and then put Zhang Shuying's back behind his back, clasped it tightly with both hands, drove the remaining spiritual energy in his body, gathered it at his feet, jumped hard, and ran away like a spirit monkey, and landed steadily on the shore.
Taking the flashlight out of his mouth, Xu Fan took a breath, took out his mobile phone from Yu Pei, and directly called the police, but all the sound in his hand was blind. ”
Now he didn't have the heart to think about the signal, there was still a signal before, why there was no problem, put the phone back in the jade pendant space, and then adjusted Zhang Shuying's position slightly, and ran to a high place with her on his back, while looking for a temporary shelter from the rain.
This old mountainous area, has experienced many battles here before, there are many caves left in the mountainous area, Xu Fan's luck is good, after running for a while, he found a small cave in a mountain col.
The cave is very shallow, only four or five steps away, the space is okay, it is no problem for a person to lie horizontally, there is a large stone in it, the top is quite smooth, just enough to serve as a makeshift bed.
After entering the cave, Xu Fan looked left and right, hurriedly put Zhang Shuying on the big stone, and then took things out from the jade pendant space, lighters, pots, small bamboo chairs, bowls, some dry food, and a pile of dry firewood.
After taking out these things, Xu Fan saw that Zhang Shuying was drenched, and wanted to change the dry clothes for her, but when he thought of the difference between men and women, he hesitated, but considering her current situation, he let her wear wet clothes, just afraid that her condition would be more serious.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Fan bit over and ripped off the clothes on Zhang Shuying's body, and then quickly took out dry clothes from the space and put them on for her.
After finishing his work, Xu Fan sat on a small bamboo chair, lit a fire, and ate dry food to satisfy his hunger, and at the same time secretly glad that he had nothing to do and threw these things in the space, and now it will come in handy, and it will be of great use.
After the fire was booming, Xu Fan randomly stuffed some bread into his mouth, drank the blended elixir, walked to Zhang Shuying's side, looked at the situation, and saw that she was getting more and more serious, especially the wound from the snake bite worsened, the whole thing was swollen, and he turned around and rushed out.
Holding a flashlight in his hand, he kept groping in the rainstorm, looking for antidote to snake venom, as well as medicinal materials for treating fever, and making marks along the way, these things are basically old hunters, and Xu Fan naturally got the inheritance of his elders, all of which were earthworks and old methods.
Due to the heavy rain blocking the line of sight, coupled with the flood, it was much more difficult to find the medicinal materials, Xu Fan didn't know how many miles he had walked, so he found all the medicinal materials he needed, and then returned all the way along the mark.
After coming back, Zhang Shuying's condition became more serious, his hot hands couldn't be relied on, and he fell into a serious coma, with a slight murmuring sound in his mouth, I don't know what to say, the wound of the snake bite was already very swollen, and his skin was pitch black.
Xu Fan hurriedly stuffed the snake venom into his mouth, and while chewing, he took out the blended elixir from the space to clean the wound, and then applied the medicine directly.
After getting these, put the pot on the fire, pour in the agar water, clean the remaining medicinal materials and throw them in to boil, and after the medicine is boiled, blow it a little and bring it to Zhang Shuying.
It's just that she is in a severe coma, and she can't drink the medicine on her own, so Xu Fan screamed several times and didn't respond, now he was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, turned his heart sideways, and said to himself: "Squad leader, this is to save you, so I'm offended," After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the bitterness of the medicine, he raised his head and drank it, and poured the medicine into Zhang Shuying with mouth to mouth.
Take one bite after another, until all the medicines are filled, Xu Fan picked up the elixir water and rinsed his mouth, did not stop until the bitterness in his mouth was gone, wiped the water marks on the side of his mouth, and checked Zhang Shuying's condition again.
The wound has improved, the swelling has begun to degenerate, and the body temperature is still very high, but Zhang Shuying's breath has become stable, as if he is asleep, Xu Fan, who is a little relieved, retreats to the side and sits on the chair, resting, while taking off the clothes on his body and putting them on the edge of the fire to dry, and Zhang Shuying's clothes are also put to bake.
Then he poured out the contents of the backpack, the whole backpack was soaked in floodwater, and the belongings inside were soaked, and he took them out one by one, and picked them up with dry wood and put them on the edge of the fire to dry.
In addition, he was wetting it with a towel and covering Zhang Shuying's forehead to help her further cool down, watching the exquisite face become calmer, Xu Fan said silently in his heart.
Squad leader, I did everything I had to do, and the rest is up to you.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, the torrential rain stopped, the flood stopped roaring, and the world became cleaner.
"Everyone don't run around, it's all gathered, I'll start to roll out names, see if there are any fewer people," it was a mess before, Chen Mingming didn't have time to pay attention to these at all, but now that it was finally quiet, he remembered that the number of people hadn't been right, and hurriedly shouted to the classmates who were walking out.
As soon as he shouted, the consciousness of those people who didn't stop said as they walked: "You order, I'm outside the entrance of the cave, you shout louder, you can hear it." ”
Chen Mingming saw him say this, so he didn't say anything anymore, and then began to say the number of people, this is not right, I don't know, the pair is really shocked, there are four people missing, three women and one man.
"Everyone thinks about it, when did you last see the squad leader, Xu Fan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhang Ying, was it on the camp side, or on the way here," Chen Mingming was anxious and asked loudly at the top of his voice.
"What, the squad leader is not here? How is this possible, Cheng Jianhao, you bastard, didn't you let you take the squad leader with you?" Li Hao was the first to shout, rushed to Cheng Jianhao and pointed at his nose and asked.
"Ma Dan, how do I know, I remember you said that you took the squad leader with you, and now come and ask me, what did you do," Cheng Jianhao snorted back very unceremoniously.
