020 Malaria
Returning to the west side of Azkir Island, Li Guofeng was squatting on the ground to explore the nearby soil.
I saw him pull up his trouser leg with several red envelopes that had been bitten by mosquitoes.
I pulled out a bottle of insect spray and handed it over, asking, "You didn't spray insect spray before you came?" ”
He stood up and said with a smile: "The leg was not sprayed, and I was accidentally bitten a few times and applied medicine, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
I nodded, put away the spray, and led them to the balsa tree.
"Don't cut down the small ones, cut all the big ones, and the cassava here, eat this at night."
Wang Wei was just about to protest, but Li Guofeng walked over with his eyes in his hands, and his tone was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to find the balsa tree so soon." ”
He must know more about this kind of expert in outdoor exploration than I do.
I didn't think to explain, but Wang Wei looked puzzled, grabbed the yellow hair and asked, "Dr. Li, are there very few such trees?" ”
Li Guofeng walked to the side of the balsa tree and stretched out his hand to knock on it, and said with a smile: "It's not less, it's that this kind of tree is very useful and has very high practical value." ”
I saw Wang Wei's confused look, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and cut down the trees, and there are a few over there." ”
Li Guofeng followed the direction of my finger and looked at several straight trees in front of him, looking ordinary, and he couldn't tell what his name was at all.
Soon the sound of felling trees echoed in the woods, and the three of us cut down five balsa trees and two straight trees.
I saw that Li Guofeng had been observing the plants around him, and said with a smile: "Dr. Li, if you are interested, go and observe, the vegetation here is very special." ”
"Special?" Li Guofeng was stunned for a moment, and then an excited expression appeared on his face: "Then I'll take a look around here." ”
I nodded, burying my head and working on the balsa wood that had fallen to the ground.
Wang Wei looked at Li Guofeng and asked, "There won't be any danger here, right?" ”
I pulled the saw and whispered, "As long as Dr. Li is nearby, there will be no danger." ”
Wang Wei smashed his mouth and followed me to work.
I observed that among these three people, Li Guofeng's status is very high, Wang Xiaorou who came with him is equivalent to the responsibility of the logistics captain, and Wang Wei shares more of the responsibility of protection.
In other words, among these three people, Li Guofeng is the core.
Li Guofeng is different from Wang Wei, he has a kindness, he doesn't like to talk and work very hard.
The balsa wood was sawn off one by one, and Wang Wei, who had been immersed in work, became curious: "Why can you use such a short saw?" ”
I smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you can help me sawn all these wooden piers into wood chips." ”
"What!"
He almost roared as he uttered it, then waved his hand vigorously, "Don't laugh, you have to sawn these wooden piers into wood chips, and I will work for you for a month." ”
I looked at the wooden pier of about the same length, shook my head and said, "It won't take that long, a wooden pier is fifty centimeters in diameter, you can see three pieces." ”
"Do you want that thick wood chips to build a tree house?" Wang Wei was a little puzzled.
I gave him a roll of the eyes, is it worth building a tree house with such a luxury?
I thought about it, but I didn't say that.
"Balsa wood is lightweight, I want to use it to reinforce the raft, and the scrap to lay the floor."
The raft is enough for me alone, and the three people standing on it are a little small, and sometimes they will keep shaking when carrying something.
With the help of Wang Wei and Li Guofeng, I was able to complete the huge things of the project, and when they left, I would improve it step by step.
After a busy day, the sun was about to set.
I pulled out the notebook in my beltbag and sketched the shape of a wooden house with a smile on my face.
If you want to live on the island for a while, you can't treat yourself badly.
Besides, Yu Ruo still wants to live a more comfortable life.
After the simple painting was completed, Li Guofeng hurriedly walked over.
My eyes sank, and I subconsciously pulled out my shotgun.
"What's wrong with Dr. Lee?" Wang Wei also stood up, grabbing the saw with a vigilant look.
"I found blood in my throat!"
"What, see blood seal your throat? What the heck? Wang Wei was extremely depressed.
I asked with some excitement, "Where?" ”
"Over there, there are several." Dr. Li was relatively calm, pointing to the dense woods not far away.
Wang Wei touched his head vigorously and followed us behind.
I explained with a smile: "Seeing the blood throat is a type of tree that grows in the rainforest. ”
"Okay, this name is domineering, is it valuable?"
I looked at him and lowered my voice, "It's more than valuable, the sap of this tree is highly poisonous. ”
Wang Wei's eyes widened, and he said in a thick throat: "So fierce? ”
Li Guofeng led us to a low-lying area, and several towering trees in front of me attracted my attention.
"This is the bloody throat seal, the scientific name is the poison dart tree." He walked ahead, and the thick layer of ground was bare with many white bones.
Wang Wei's eyes stared straight at him, "Really poisonous?" ”
I shook my head with a smile and joked, "Don't leave this tree trunk gray and not slippery, if you don't believe it, try to smear some poison on your body, and make sure you don't go back to the east side." ”
As soon as I said this, Wang Wei, who was just about to reach out and touch the trunk of the tree, retracted his hand.
Li Guofeng looked around, looked at me and said, "The root system of the poison arrow tree is developed, and there are many saplings and mature trees around here, you should be careful." ”
I nodded, found that Li Guofeng's face was a little pale, and said, "Dr. Li, you can rest first." ”
For them, seeing the Blood Throat Tree is of little use, but for me, it is undoubtedly a magic weapon to save their lives.
Li Guofeng touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a somewhat weak tone: "Maybe I was in a hurry just now, it should be good to take a breath." ”
I nodded, first pulled out my notebook and recorded the approximate location of the Bloody Throat Tree, and then retreated to the side to make a mark on the white bones on the ground.
"Let's get busy here today, it's not too early."
"Let's go, let's go." Wang Wei couldn't wait.
Li Guofeng's face still did not improve, but became even paler.
I frowned, "Can Dr. Li do it?" Otherwise, I'll let Wang Wei carry you on the raft, and let's get out of here as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm." He answered weakly.
I glanced at Wang Wei, and he grabbed Li Guofeng and followed him to the position of the raft.
As the sun goes down, the temperature inside the forest gets cooler and colder.
I looked at Li Guofeng worriedly and asked, "How is the doctor now?" ”
"It's just, it's just a little weak, and I have a headache......," he said, and his eyes were about to close.
I was shocked and uncertain, "Did you get a malaria vaccine before you came?" ”
After I asked, I patted Wang Wei, "You put Dr. Li down first and stay away from him." ”
Wang Wei looked at me in surprise, didn't ask, and put down Li Guofeng according to my instructions.
I looked at the sky that was getting darker, and said, "You go back quickly, but wash yourself before going ashore, preferably in a place with living water, and then ask Yu Ruo to hand you some disinfectant spray, and then tell her that Dr. Li may be infected with malaria." ”
After hearing this, he turned around, walked over again, and said worriedly: "But, but what about you? ”
"Isn't there a gun, bring me some spray by the way, she has medicine for malaria over there, don't worry." I know that Wang Wei is worried about Li Guofeng.
"Okay, then you wait for me here, I'll go back."
