Chapter 708: Danger is imminent
"Fairy Wood ......" The fat man scratched his head: "What kind of thing is Fairy Wood?" Listening to the name, it seems to be ......"
Without waiting for the fat man to finish speaking, Xu Dong interrupted the fat man's words: "Immortal wood is Qiao Jiajun's name, don't think about what a good thing it will be!" ”
In fact, due to the different customs of China and the West, although Qiao Jiajun is Chinese, he has accepted Western culture since he was a child, and many things in Western concepts are diametrically opposed to Eastern culture.
For example, in Eastern culture, the "dragon" mostly represents majesty, auspiciousness, and is a magical beast, but in the West, most of them think that the "dragon" represents cruelty, cunning, and is the embodiment of the devil.
The concept of "God", in the West, is also not exactly good, benevolent, and omnipotent as the Oriental legend says, on the contrary, "God" in the eyes of Westerners, the so-called God, in addition to omnipotent, may also be cruel and cunning.
In the final analysis, that is, Westerners are different from Easterners in that they will strictly list only the good ones as "immortals" and the bad ones as "ghosts".
Therefore, the 'fairy wood' recorded by Qiao Jiajun in his notes, in Xu Dong's opinion, should be the "devil tree".
However, whether it is a "fairy tree" or a "devil tree", it is just a difference in name, but this kind of tree is a poisonous tree.
Because of this kind of tree, at ordinary times, there is nothing special to see, but if it is used to burn fire, the smoke it volatilizes contains a large number of toxic substances, once the smoke is inhaled, there will be shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, weakness of limbs and other symptoms, and severe auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations......
In fact, the poison of plants and trees is as terrible as poisonous snakes, insects and scorpions, for example, Xu Dong and the fat man and others know that there is a kind of tree in Hainan, which is called "seeing blood and sealing the throat", on weekdays, this kind of tree is not the slightest threat to people, but if there is a wound on the person, and once the wound is stained with the sap on the tree, in just a few tens of seconds, it will definitely die, so it is called "seeing blood and sealing the throat".
There is also a legend that there is a kind of flower tree called "Seven Star Begonia", which is also extremely poisonous, and some people have ground its petals into powder and mixed them into candles, and those who do not know light the candles and are poisoned to death in just a moment.
The fairy wood in Qiao Jiajun's notes is about the same as this kind of tree, which contains severe toxicity, once it is burned, the toxicity will also volatilize, and people will be poisoned unconsciously.
Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong, you and I said a word, so that the fat man finally understood, it turned out that he wanted to covet a little bit of good luck, and he almost caused a big disaster.
In this case, bonfires, barbecues or something, the fat man doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
Several people are wearing extremely warm cold-proof assault suits, and they are slightly active when they are on duty, but they don't actually feel how cold they are.
The fat man got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, laughed dryly twice, and then turned around and got into the tent.
It was Qin Yu, who listened to the explanations of Xu Dong and Qiao Yanxue, and involuntarily walked up to Xu Dong, frowned, and asked, "Xiao Xu, this immortal wood...... Does it make people lose some of their memories? ”
Xu Dong looked at Qin Yu and groaned for a moment, knowing that what Qin Yu wanted to ask was far more than just whether the Immortal Wood would make people lose their memories.
As soon as he got up to this platform, Xu Dong saw that there were a lot of matches that had not been completely burned in this simple stove, besides, Qin Yu said that they camped here, and even burned these trees for cooking, which undoubtedly meant that Qin Yu and his other dozen people should have inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas from the fairy wood.
However, how toxic this fairy wood is, and even whether it will cause amnesia, Qiao Jiajun's notes did not go into detail, only briefly described the smell of the volatile smoke of the fairy wood, and the symptoms that will occur after inhaling the smoke are only briefly mentioned, and in the end, only the sentence "Treatedwithcaution" (cautious treatment) was used, as for how to identify this highly toxic wood, how to prevent and treat it, etc., there is no such thing as at all.
Qiao Yanxue was a little embarrassed, after all, it was her brother, and although she mentioned this poisonous tree, she couldn't explain it vaguely.
Xu Dong didn't care too much, after all, what he was looking at was only Qiao Jiajun's notes, not the laboratory analysis report of any plant or poison.
Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Xu Dong didn't know what kind of impact it would have on people after being poisoned by the Immortal Wood, and then said: "In my memory, since here, it has become very abstract, until I saw Xiao Cheng lying next to me, and I came to my senses......
Xu Dong nodded, expressing his understanding of what Qin Yu meant, Qin Yu should have said that a group of them, since they left this campsite, what has happened is already very vague in Qin Yu's memory, no wonder in the afternoon, when the fat man found the Buddha light, Qin Yu behaved a little weird.
Qin Yu groaned and said: "Along the way, I have been trying to recall, after this, what did I and my brothers go through, why am I the only one still alive, but I really can't recall it clearly, I'm sorry, Xiao Xu...... I owe them and don't know how to ......"
Qin Yu said this, although he was not as gloomy as others, but the kind of self-blame in his words was self-evident, and it was self-blame from the heart, definitely not just words.
Mu Siqing comforted on the side and said: "Brother Qin doesn't have to blame himself so much, I believe that the other people are all auspicious, and Xu Dong will definitely find their ......."
"Yes, Brother Qin......" Xu Dong was also relieved: "Since Brother Qin remembers Xiao Cheng's location, let's push back along that place, I believe it won't be long before we can find them......"
Qin Yu sighed heavily again, and said in a low voice: "You guys go to sleep first, you will have to watch the night later......"
Xu Dong nodded, and had no choice but to say so, and after a few more words of greeting with Qin Yu, Xu Dong turned around and was about to return to the tent, but caught a glimpse of Tashi sitting on the side without saying a word.
Tashi sat on the ground covered with a blanket of felt, all the while with his back to a few people, facing the direction of the two strange peaks, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Dong couldn't help but walk behind Tashi and asked with a smile, "Brother Tashi, what are you looking at?" ”
Tashi turned his head, but his movements were a little stiff, very slow, and, when he turned his head, Tashi turned almost together, and there was a smile on his face, but this smile was very stiff, as if he had been squeezed out of his face by life, and it was a little scary to look at.
Xu Dong was taken aback and shouted, "Brother Tashi......"
Qiao Yanxue, who was about to enter the tent, turned around with Mu Siqing and asked, "Xu Dong, what's the matter?" ”
"Big Brother Tashi......" Xu Dongyi reached out and grabbed Tashi's shoulder, shouting while trying to pull Tashi up.
Tashi smiled stiffly and moved his mouth, making a "ho-ho" sound in his throat, but it was very faint.
In a hurry, Xu Dong directly infused the ability into Tashi's body, and in a short time, the ability circulated in Tashi's body for a week.
It's just that what Xu Dong doesn't understand is that there is nothing abnormal in Tashi's body, even if there is nothing abnormal in his blood, even if Xu Dong leaves a little bit of the ability in Tashi's body, Tashi's situation is still not better, but the smile on his face is even more terrifying, and the sound of "ho-ho" in his throat is getting louder and louder.
It was clear that Tashi's situation was continuing to deteriorate, uncontrolled by the ability.
At this time, Qin Yu, Mu Siqing, and Qiao Yanxue also arrived at Xu Dong's side, and when they saw Tashi's situation, the hearts of several people involuntarily sank.
Xu Dong hugged Tashi up, turned his head to Qin Yu, Mu Siqing and the others and said, "You guys block for a while, I'll go and see Brother Tashi before ......"
Without waiting for Qin Yu and the others to answer, Xu Dong walked a few steps with Tashi in his arms, turned his head again, and said, "Brother Qin, Boss, Yanxue, you'd better bring a gas mask, and pay attention to the lighting, don't be afraid of wasting batteries......"
Mu Siqing responded, turned around and got into the tent, and after a while, he took a few flashlights and came out, Qiao Yanxue also took a gun, pressed the bullets, and several people were like facing a big enemy.
Xu Dong carried Tashi back to the tent, and under the gas lamp in the tent, he found that the fat man slept like a dead pig, snoring and snoring.
It's only been a while, and the fat man has slept like this, can't it be because of the poison of the fairy wood! Xu Dong was a little worried, put down Tashi, and Xu Dong pushed the fat man.
Unexpectedly, the fat man turned over and said in a daze: "It's time for us to be on duty all night?" I just slept ......."
Listening to the fat man say this, even if he was just confused, Xu Dong was a little relieved, the fat guy can eat and sleep, and it is not uncommon for him to fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, not to mention, these days, the fat man is really tired.
After relieving himself, Xu Dong went to check on Tashi again.
Under the illumination of the gas lamp, Xu Dong carefully examined Tashi, and found that Tashi's condition had deteriorated further than before, and the originally stiff smile on his face was already distorted at this time, and the sound of "ho ho" in his throat sounded very harsh like asthma.
This is a situation that Xu Dong has never encountered, Xu Dong wants to help, but he can't do it for a while.
Under the anxiety, Xu **ran heard that the fat man was talking in his dreams again in a daze.
"Autumn glow...... Tell you a secret...... Of course it's Dongge's secret, hehe...... Guaranteed you'll be blown away......"
Sang Qiuxia is not here, naturally she will not be surprised, but it is Xu Dong - the fat guy has not slept with Xu Dong before, but Xu Dong has never heard of the dream talk, why is the fat man talking in his dream at this time?
