Chapter 428: Arabian Poisonous Scorpion
The parachute slowly fell, and the ground reflected the sun's rays under the scorching sun, shaking Xiao Jian's eyes, but the terrain here was indeed very flat, although there were some potholes, but overall it was a good landing field.
The two landed separately, and Xiao Jian immediately threw away his umbrella bag and dodged behind a rock, carefully observing the surrounding movements.
The cuttlefish also leaned over, "Lone wolf, I saw it when I was in the air, there was no one here, not even a tree, bare, typical barren land." ”
Xiao Jian glared at him, "You know a fart, be careful with the 10,000-year-old ship, just like you, you can see that you are not a local from eight miles away." ”
The cuttlefish grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, "Damn! At night, I have a greater advantage than you, and I stand there still, as long as I don't open my mouth, no one can see. ”
Xiao Jian was amused by the cuttlefish, "Hehe, okay, don't be poor, hurry up and bury the parachute." ”
The ground was all hard rock, and it was impossible to dig holes, so Xiao Jian and the cuttlefish picked up some small stones, stuffed their parachutes into the cracks in the rocks, and buried them.
It's a two-hour time difference from Myanmar, when the sun is at its most poisonous and the rocks reflect white light in the scorching sun, and there is a dead silence all around.
"Lone wolf, which direction are we going?" The cuttlefish jumped on a big rock and looked around for a long time with his hands on the pergola.
The satellite map had already been imprinted in Xiao Jian's mind, he squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, confirmed the direction, and then pointed to the west and said, "Let's go in this direction." ”
The two packed their backpacks, checked their guns and ammunition, and set off for the west. The temperature on the ground was very high, and after a while, the soles of the two of them began to get hot, and the clothes on their bodies were soaked with sweat, and the salt stains of white flowers appeared.
Despite the dry and smoking lips, Xiao Jian and the cuttlefish kept being patient and did not drink the bottled water in their backpacks, because they knew that it would take a few days to get out of this no-man's land, and they had to try to keep those precious bottles of water as a last resort.
More than an hour later, Xiao Jian jumped on a rock, and after observing the surrounding situation, he jumped down, and he took out a bottle of water from his backpack, "Cuttlefish, rest, drink some water." ”
The cuttlefish nodded, sat on the ground, leaned against the boulder, and scolded: "Grandma's, I didn't expect the conditions here to be more difficult than the desert, don't talk about people along the way, I haven't even seen a single panting." ”
Xiao Jian unscrewed the bottle, took a small sip, and then handed it to the cuttlefish.
This kind of water is the standard configuration in the U.S. military, especially suitable for soldiers who fight in desert and arid terrain for a long time, and it contains salt and nutrient solution, which can well relieve people's thirst and lack of water.
The cuttlefish only took a small sip and moistened its throat.
"Lone wolf, how long will it take to get out of this desert?" The cuttlefish stuffed the bottle into his backpack.
Xiao Jian thought about it in his heart, and then said, "If we march day and night, we can get out of here in two days." ”
"That's okay, General Buck should be able to provide us with provisions." The cuttlefish was relieved, he now threw himself into the ground for Xiao Jian's worship of the five bodies, if it weren't for their country's rise and fall from time to time, otherwise he would have slammed his head on the ground with Xiao Jian and become a brother.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Jian got up and said, "Let's go!" ”
The sky gradually darkened, and it was supposed to be cooler as the sun went down and the temperature dropped, but as the heat on the ground evaporated, the air humidity became larger, and it became more stuffy, making people feel like they were going to suffocate.
Xiao Jian found a flat boulder, the two of them simply ate some dry food and drank some water, and after packing up their backpacks, Xiao Jian said: "Cuttlefish, lie down and rest, and wait until it is cooler before leaving." ”
The cuttlefish lay straight down, and the residual heat on the stone was comfortable on its back. Xiao Jian sat still and didn't move, he vigilantly observed his surroundings to prevent accidents......
Long story short, two days later, Xiao Jian and the cuttlefish noticed that the terrain under their feet had changed, and sporadic green vegetation began to appear, where there was grass, there was water, and where there was water, there were people, Xiao Jian said to the cuttlefish: "Cuttlefish, we should get out of the no-man's land, pay attention to the surrounding situation." ”
"Okay." The cuttlefish gently opened the safety of the gun, and the bullet was loaded.
Suddenly, Xiao Jian raised his right hand and stopped in mid-air, which was a gesture to stop, "Cuttlefish, there is someone nearby." ”
The cuttlefish listened carefully, "Lone wolf, is there something wrong with your ears, there is no movement?" ”
"Nope! I heard someone moaning, it was supposed to be a child. Xiao Jian whispered.
Depend on! The cuttlefish didn't think so, he didn't believe that Xiao Jian could still hear the size of a person.
"Follow me!" Xiao Jian leaned down and slowly touched a raised rock, and the cuttlefish followed behind, holding a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other.
"Don't move!" Xiao Jian jumped out of the rock, aiming his gun at a person behind him, but he immediately put the gun down.
The cuttlefish quickly jumped over, and the dagger was across the man's neck, but he was stunned.
"Cuttlefish, let him go, just a child." Xiao Jian saw that there was a child in his teens, leaning on a stone, with intermittent moans coming out of his mouth, as if he was injured.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jian approached the child and asked.
The child opened his eyes and saw Xiao Jian and the cuttlefish, a trace of vigilance and panic flashed in his eyes, but then he calmed down, "Uncle, I was bitten by a poisonous scorpion, I'm afraid I'm going to die here." ”
Xiao Jian looked in the direction of the child's finger, and sure enough, there was an egg-sized pustule at his ankle, the color had turned black, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
The cuttlefish exclaimed, "Damn! Could it be that you have been bitten by the legendary Arabian poisonous scorpion? ”
It was the first time Xiao Jian had heard of this kind of scorpion, and he couldn't help but look at the cuttlefish strangely.
The boy looked at him in amazement, he didn't expect that this black man would know about this kind of scorpion, and he felt saved.
The cuttlefish explained: "Lone wolf, have you watched "The Scorpion King"? This is the home of the black scorpion, which is so large and venomous that it is said that a scorpion can sting a camel to death, and we are lucky not to have been stung by a scorpion for two days. ”
Xiao Jian said: "Since you know so much, hurry up and save this child." ”
The cuttlefish shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, but I'm not sure I'll be able to save him." ”
"How did you get stung by a scorpion?" Xiao Jian wondered, what was a child doing in such a deserted place?
"Uncle, I'm here to catch scorpions, soaking in wine can cure diseases, my dad has a disease in his leg and can't get out of bed, I checked it from the Internet, Chinese people like to drink this medicinal wine, which can treat rheumatism." The child looked up and said, his big eyes innocent.
At this moment, the cuttlefish took out the dagger from his waist, took out the lighter and lit it, and the tip of the dagger burned red.
"Kid, you ninja point, it's a little painful." As he spoke, he grabbed the child's ankle and slashed the dagger, and the pus was cut instantly, and the black blood and pus flowed out, and the smell was very stinky.
The child was really tenacious, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but his body was trembling slightly, obviously he was trying his best to restrain the pain.
The cuttlefish squeezed out the residual liquid in the pustule with great force, then leaned down, took the wound in his mouth, and sucked it vigorously!
The child froze, and then his eyes filled with tears......
