Chapter 17: The Pheasant Found
It's a very bad thing......
Wu Yicai's right leg knee was a little infected yesterday, and he originally remembered to clean the wound yesterday, but after a busy day, he was too tired and scared to forget it......
Now Wu Yi felt that his knee was a little swollen and painful, accompanied by this tingling pain, and the most important thing was that the wound near his knee was red, and the wound was a little suppurated!
What can be done now is to make it better, and the most effective way is to squeeze out the pus and disinfect it with salt water!
It would be nice if there were anti-inflammatory drugs, but unfortunately there was no pharmacy here at all, and he didn't bring any medicine!
"I can only squeeze it...... It's going to hurt!" Wu Yicai cried and hesitated.
In fact, he is very afraid of pain, squeezing the acne on his body will make him hurt for a long time, this is his own flesh, and the pain is also his own ......
But there is no way, in order to make the wound heal and prevent it from continuing to spread infection, you can only be ruthless!
"Hiss~ah!" Wu Yicai squeezed the wound hard, and he grinned in pain, but fortunately he squeezed out a lot of pus and blood!
After squeezing for a long time, the pain has been numb, the wound can no longer squeeze out pus, only bright red blood seeps out, and then use some salt water to disinfect it!
The only salt water that can be found is seawater, and I don't know if seawater can have the same disinfection effect as normal saline, but in the current situation, I can only give it a try!
If you use seawater for disinfection, it is best to use boiled seawater, which can effectively kill bacteria and plankton in the water.
Boiling seawater can make the sterilized brine purer!
He needed a container that could hold seawater, and the pottery he fired yesterday should have worked.
Wu Yicai's fire was still alive, and he hurried to the kiln after adding a little firewood to it......
The kiln had cooled down, and one of the bowls he had taken out had been turned into pottery, and there were no cracks on the sight!
Because he was desperate to get seawater to boil and disinfect his wounds, he didn't even look to see how the rest of the pottery was fired!
Wu Yicai put the seawater he took on the fire and let it boil slowly, the seawater in the bowl should not take long to boil, he only got a little seawater back in order to make the seawater boil as soon as possible, and the seawater just didn't go to the bottom of the bowl!
But this seawater should be enough, just use it to wash his wounds!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sea water to boil, and he took the bowl off the fire and let the sea cool down a little!
It would be very painful to wash the wound with salt water, but after squeezing the wound for half a day just now, he could bear the pain, and he felt that he should be able to endure the pain of washing the wound with salt water!
Wu Yicai hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and splashed the seawater on the wound!
"Damn!!It's so sour!" The mild sea water made Wu Yicai fall onto the wound, and he almost fainted in an instant......
He felt that his chrysanthemums were twitching because of the pain, twitching and twitching, almost squeezing Xiang out, it was really terrible!
Fortunately, it didn't hurt for too long, but after a while, it was fine, but the wound on the knee felt woody, as if the piece of meat was not my own!
Slowly lowering his pants, he began to observe the pottery he had fired, and he was still very apprehensive......
The pottery in the kiln was taken out by him one by one, and as he expected, how could there be a few failed works when firing the pottery!
Only two of the three bowls fired yesterday succeeded and one succeeded in the clay pot, and he didn't expect them all to be perfect, in his opinion, it would be good to succeed!
The successful firing of three pieces of pottery greatly surprised him, and his mood was also extremely happy......
Now that the guy who cooks has it, he just went to find something to eat before it was still early today, and by the way, he explored the water source!
……
Wu Yi knew that there were wolves in the dense forest, but in order to survive, he had to drill into the dense forest with his scalp straight, and every step he took was carefully guarded!
The area he searched was a place he hadn't been, and there were no signs on the trees here......
It seems that Wu Yicai left marks everywhere to prevent the habit of getting lost, but it helped him to distinguish which places he had explored and which places he had never visited!
In fact, what he wants most is fresh water, preferably rivers and lakes, because only waters with a lot of fresh water will have fish and shrimp, which can also increase his food source!
He searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and there was still a lush green area ahead, saying that this island was really big enough......
Belch...... Something is moving on the ground ahead!
When Wu Yicai was about to walk in front of the moving object, he was a little shocked!
Some of the leaves are moving on their own, to be precise, a group of small ants are walking with the leaves in their mouths, and the leaves are connected together, as if something is moving from a distance!
Ants, such a gritty little creature!
"Giggle~!"
A shrill cry rang out, and at the same time he heard the sound of his wings flapping rapidly!
What is this sound?
It shouldn't be wrong, it should be!
This creature is also found in the mountains of his countryside, and there are quite a few of them, and he also saw a lot of them along a riverside path when he went to work!
It's a pheasant!
There are pheasants here, which means there may be a nest not far ahead, and maybe other pheasants!
"It sounds like it's coming from the front, it shouldn't be very far!" Wu Yicai picked up a few fist-sized stones on the ground, and he had to use a long-range weapon to deal with the flying pheasant, and he had to attack quickly!
Wu Yicai walked forward slowly, trying his best to make his steps light and not making any sound, as much as possible, let him find the pheasant hiding in the weeds first, and then quickly attack before it reacted, a fatal blow!
No pheasants were found in this area, but three eggs were found......
To be honest, he is a little repulsive to the eggs of wild birds, and more of a complaining and self-blame!
Wu Yicai liked to go up to the mountains to play when he was a child, and he and a little friend once took out bird eggs, and only once did the eggs, but that time it was a nail in his heart, as long as he saw the wild bird eggs, he was uncomfortable......
Wu Yicai remembered that they had taken out three bird's nests together, and he returned home with six eggs to try them, but when he opened an egg, it was not egg whites and yolks.
But......
A young chick with tender flesh, it has grown some thick hair, it does not move, and its eyes do not open, as if it is dead!
This scene was quite shocking for a teenage bear child, who felt a heavy sense of guilt at that time!
When Wu Yicai saw the chicks in the eggshell, his feelings were very complicated, chagrin, regret, self-blame, and even disgust with himself......
He thought that if there were no chicks in the eggs at that time, but only egg whites and egg whites, he would have thought that he was very powerful, and maybe he would not have blamed himself so much, and his childhood memories should have a second, third, or even countless times of digging birds' eggs......
Of course, the environment that Wu Yicai is in now is very harsh, and he has to cherish it if he can find something that can be eaten, and he will not let it go!
Wu Yicai's current situation can be described as extremely dangerous, he will not give up any food, if he wants to live here, he must give up his dignity and even humanity!
He is still not satisfied with just three wild eggs, this is the nest of pheasants, compared to the delicious and meaty pheasants, the wild eggs are much smaller!
Leave a trap in the pheasant's nest and it's best to catch the pheasant!
Making traps is a must-have skill to survive in the wild, and you don't have to stay here all the time to make a good trap, and you may be rewarded after a while!
What Wu Yicai wants to make is a very simple trap, in the mountains of their countryside, there will be many people in the winter to catch rabbits, once the rabbit is trapped, then they can only kill themselves, hunters just need to pick up rabbits!
He made a couple of slipbuckle rope sleeves out of some thin vines, fastened one end of the rope sleeve to the small tree and the weeds, and the other end of the looped loop made the ring stand up!
As long as the pheasant steps on the trap, it will struggle desperately, the live buckle will be tighter and tighter, and the pheasant's strength is not enough to break free from the small trees and weeds fixed by the rope, it can only obediently wait for him to harvest!
There are five traps in total, which is quite a lot, and it should be enough to catch the pheasants here!
After checking the sensitivity and solidity of the trap, he turned and left, his current harvest is still relatively small, and he should continue to explore!
The mountain eggs have to be taken away, but they are too fragile, so Wu Yi has to think of a good way to take them!
