Chapter Seventy-Four: Distress in the Col
The jungle of fallen leaves and dead branches was dangerous, but the only way to get to the road was to do so, so my father found a thick branch and led the way in front of him, and we followed him in a line, moving forward at turtle speed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWith my father's rich experience in surviving in the jungle, there will definitely be no problems with him, and my heart is a lot more steady.
After walking for about three minutes, the road began to slope a little, and on the right side was a small col, which was like a large basin holding rainwater from all sides.
I suddenly felt that this place was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that this was the place where Uncle Liu placed the 'angry dead man', a small bowl floated on the water with the mouth facing up, and the bowl was empty, and I didn't know whether the 'angry dead man' stored in it was eaten by the yellow skin or washed away by the rain, but since I had just seen the shrewd methods of the yellow skin, I believe that the latter is more likely.
Dad was a little strange when he saw the bowl, but after hearing Yu Aiting's explanation, he understood, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, hurry up." ”
At this moment, Yu Aiting suddenly said in surprise: "Look, what is that!" ”
Her voice was so loud in the silence of the jungle that it startled me, and I looked down her finger to see a large number of dead branches and leaves floating in a corner of the col, and between the gaps in the leaves, something white loomed in the water.
Dad's brows furrowed, and he told us to stand still and not move, and then slowly walked down the col tentatively with Uncle Liu.
When he got to the water's edge, Dad used a branch to pluck the fallen leaves away, and a white bulging thing like a leather ball appeared on the water.
Uncle Liu also picked up a branch and poked the ball-like thing, never thought that he could poke the basket, and a stick was smoothly inserted into the thing, and then, the thing swelled up violently, the more it swelled, the more transparent it was, and I saw the things in the white ball clearly from a distance of three or four meters!
The white ball had a striped, rib-like bracket inside, and a yellow thing slowly wriggled in the white ball, like some kind of reptile.
Due to the continuous expansion, the buoyancy of the 'white ball' became greater and larger, and gradually floated up from the water, and two white thighs connected to the 'white ball' appeared in front of us, and I realized that the 'white ball' was actually a belly that was swollen by blisters!
Dad's pupils shrank suddenly, and he grabbed Uncle Liu, who looked sluggish, and shouted, "Run!" ”
His roar exploded in my ears like spring thunder, Yu Aiting and I woke up from the distraction in an instant, regardless of the 3721 turn to climb up the slope, but before I climbed a few steps, I heard a "boom" explosion, water splashes and dead leaves with the stench of the face, the mountain shook in an instant, the feet were suddenly empty, and actually fell into a hole that was blown up and collapsed!
This cave has obviously been connected to the outside world for a long time, and the yellow mud on the wall of the cave is abnormally slippery, which was formed by the long-term erosion of the water.
The hole is not 90 degrees straight down, but has a certain slope, and my back is against the smooth wall of the hole, as if I am on a slide and slide down quickly, and my legs are completely soft, which is more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
Suddenly, there was no air under him, and this time it was really a direct volley falling, and he fell with a 'pop', and his brain was dizzy.
"You ...... Hiss...... Are you alright? ”
Dad's voice came from beside him, the voice was not loud, but there was an echo, it seems that the space in this place should not be very large.
Everyone reported that they were safe, and I heard Uncle Liu's voice tremble a little, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's an old bone, and some can't help but fall." Uncle Liu replied with a wry smile.
At this time, there was a 'pop' sound, and a dazzling fire light illuminated the entire cave, and when I looked back, it turned out that my father had lit the lighter.
I took advantage of the light to quickly glance at everyone's location, and when I was about to check Uncle Liu's situation, the lighter went out.
Dad said: "Wait a minute, the temperature of the lighter is too high after a long time, and it will take a while." ”
Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu snorted and gasped: "I...... I have a miner's lamp in my waist, I don't know if it's broken, Xiao Feng, come and get it, my arm is numb. ”
I relied on the direction of the voice, slowly groped and crawled over, the first thing I touched was Uncle Liu's two legs, and then continued to grope upward, suddenly, on his thighs, I felt his pants wet and sticky, and I was about to tease him, asking him if he had dropped out the feces and urine, but the next second, the words to my mouth were swallowed raw back into my stomach, because I touched a cold thing on his thigh, like a bone spur that pierced the flesh after the leg was broken!
Then I felt the smell of dirt mixed with blood in the air, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Touch it up and hang there." Uncle Liu said weakly.
I untied the battery of the miner's lamp from his waist and wanted to turn on the light, but I was afraid that Uncle Liu would not be able to stand the blow when he saw his broken bones and tendons.
This fall even I, a young man, fell half to death, let alone Uncle Liu, it is estimated that he has not recovered his strength, and his whole body is numb, so he can't feel the pain of a broken leg, if he sees himself like this, I don't know if he can accept this cruel reality.
Helplessly, there is no way to go on like this, and under everyone's repeated urging, I finally turned on the miner's lamp.
A white spur stood firmly on Uncle Liu's thigh, the exposed part was about twenty centimeters long, it didn't seem to be his own leg bone, this sharp bone at the front end had no traces of blood at all, it should be too sharp, and it passed through the thigh quickly, so there was no trace of blood.
The pants on his legs were already soaked with red blood, and they looked serious. A few of us were stunned when we saw this scene in front of us, we never expected such an unlucky thing to happen.
Uncle Liu struggled to prop himself up with his arms, and when he saw the bones on his legs, he was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Who helped pull out the bones of this dead man, I panicked." ”
I sighed, put the miner's lamp on my head, and was about to help him pull out the bone, but I didn't expect my father and Yu Aiting to stop me at the same time.
"Don't move, let me see first!" Yu Aiting endured the pain all over her body, squatted down and looked at it carefully.
I thought it would be right for her to be an expert in medical care, so I stayed quietly by her side and lit her up.
After looking at it for a while, she turned to her father and said, "Uncle, can you use a knife to cut the pants near the wound?" ”
Without saying a word, Dad carefully cut a piece of the pants around the bone with a sharp short sword, and I saw that the piece was full of blood, and the bones were poking the flesh upside down, and the muscles in the wound twitched slightly unconsciously, and I couldn't bear to look at it.
Yu Aiting took a closer look, and said lightly: "Fortunately, this bone was pierced from the side of his leg bone, and it didn't hurt the bone inside, and it also avoided the major arteries, so it won't be life-threatening for the time being, but ......"
I hate it most when doctors are always half-talking, which makes people's hearts hang all the time, and they hurriedly ask, "What's the problem?" ”
"But there are two points to note, one is that he has a part of the tendon in his thigh ruptured and cannot walk, so he must go to the hospital for surgery and then recuperate for two months; The second is that the bone is a foreign object, which is easy to carry germs and may cause infection, so it is not okay if it is not treated in time. ”
When I heard this, I immediately felt a little messy, if it was okay to talk outside, it would be a big deal to carry him to the hospital, but how to get out of our current situation is a problem, how should this be good.
