Volume II, Chapter 146: Seriously Wounded
I had to go ashore immediately, the blood was already staining the water, and it was very dangerous to stay here any longer, and there were other predatory fish that were gone and could still hurt me.
The leg injury was so serious that it needed to be treated urgently, and there could be no delay, even if the shark was gone, but it was still unknown if it could save his life......
It's not impossible to say that we will end up together, but this possibility is not impossible, because we have caused each other a lot of damage!
When I climbed onto the dry stake, I could feel that my body had lost too much blood, and I could clearly feel weak, and what was even more terrible was that the blood was still flowing, and the symptoms were still getting worse.
Therefore, if you can't wait to go ashore, you must stop the bleeding immediately in the sea, otherwise the blood will run dry if you can't get ashore at all!
I was a little drowsy at this time, but the intense pain from the wound stained with sea water kept me awake, and it was important to stay awake at this time.
There are many ways to stop the bleeding, but the only thing I can think of at this moment is to tie my thighs so that the blood is blocked and can't flow to my legs.
Fortunately, he was not empty-handed in the sea, not only wearing trousers, but also a belt and a dagger, so the crocodile belt that was originally wrapped around the waist to hold the dagger in place came into play, and it was untied and tied to the thighs.
The process was quite difficult, especially when I was in the water and my strength was exhausted, and every movement was exhausted......
When tying the thigh, the leg was also briefly examined, and the injury was better than expected, at least the flesh had not been torn into an obvious huge gap.
But the situation is not optimistic, a row of huge tooth marks left a large hole deep into the bone, the largest wound is the size of the bottom of the bowl, and the flesh is blurred.
The effect of the belt cannot completely stop the blood, and it is not tightly tied in the water and cannot be forced, and can only reduce the blood flow rate.
What's more, after a long time, the legs will die due to ischemia and itching, so it is not a long-term solution.
Weakness, pity, and helplessness are my main emotions now, and at this time, I want someone to help me, even if it is just a few words of comfort that can boost my confidence!
Unfortunately, none of that!
There is only a sense of urgency, and it is necessary to return to shore as quickly as possible to deal with the wound, otherwise the consequences will be serious and too serious to bear.
So while enduring the great pain, I began to paddle as evenly as I could towards the shore.
......
The initial bleeding with a belt and the buoyancy provided by the stump were better than the last time I encountered an undercurrent, but I had to endure the pain and the exhaustion caused by the loss of physical strength.
And when I went ashore five minutes later, I couldn't believe how I got to the shore just now, in short, in order to survive, I kept looking at the shore and gritting my teeth in the process!
More than 100 meters looks very simple, but it is also very difficult, just like many times when we do an extremely complex thing, we don't feel how great it is in the process, but after doing it, we can let out an exclamation when we recall the process, because it is not easy.
The feeling of going ashore is different from that in the water, and when you are in the water, you will be worried about all kinds of troubles, especially the fear that the sharks will go and return!
After arriving on the ground, I felt extremely solid, and the chance of surviving had risen to at least 50%, and the remaining 50% had to be fought for by me.
The wound is still bleeding outward, and I don't know how much blood has flowed out of this encounter, and I'm afraid it will take at least a few months to make up for it.
The current state obviously does not allow me to cross the sea for another two hours to make it back to Crocodile Island, and even if I return to Crocodile Island, I will only use thistle to stop the bleeding, but I can't wait for that time!
The current situation had to be dealt with nearby, and I began to slowly drag my injured left leg with a good leg towards the woods, and it was not quiet along the way, and from time to time I could hear my swearing and grinning inhales.
If I had been injured so badly in the city, I thought I could have been able to lie down on the operating table with peace of mind, and now I would have to drag my weak, weak, and painful body forward.
At the same time, I had to go to the woods to look for items that could stop the bleeding, this state was really indescribable, and my mind was full of despair, not only worried that I would not be able to find the medicinal herbs, but also worried that I would faint at any time due to excessive blood loss......
Every step up the hill can be regarded as using the strength of milk, and I secretly swear in my heart that I will never go to the sea again...... if I can survive!
......
When I was exhausted, I finally arrived in the woods at a height of twenty or thirty meters from the beach, which was also where hope lies.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to find some white grass roots, in the absence of a good hemostatic drug like thistle, you can only choose the less effective method, for the time being, in order to solve the problem has not taken care of so much!
Maybe it's the endless road, but maybe it's also the fact that the roots of the white grass roots on the island have grown stronger in the two years I've been away, but in short, I'm lucky......
After three or four minutes, I found several white grass roots, and at this moment, I saw them like a hungry wolf seeing fat, and my eyes lit up.
No wonder it was so urgent, judging by the condition on my legs, I hadn't fainted yet, proving that there was at least life-sustaining blood in my body, and as long as I kept them, I could still be saved.
If it continues to flow more than blood, it is difficult to say what the result will be, after all, these wounds are too big, and if you want to heal on your own, I am afraid that the blood will have dried up long ago!
The appearance of the white thatch root is similar to that of ordinary thatch, and the flowers that bloom are like dog's tail grass, but the feel is a mass of white fluff like cotton, and its effect is the same as the fluff in the cigarette filter to stop bleeding.
As soon as I found them, I ripped them off the plant, rubbed them a little, and pressed them into several large wounds that were still bleeding.
Because of the relationship between the belt, the fluff seems to have a miraculous effect after being pressed, and in addition to slowly soaking red, there is almost no new blood flowing down.
I know it's a belt, but it also gives me great confidence that as long as the bleeding stops for a while, my life will be saved!
I continued to search, the number of several plants was far from enough, and the progress had to be accelerated, and my left leg had turned blue and purple due to insufficient blood supply, and it was very dangerous to continue for too long.
......
For the next half hour, I searched in the woods, but the distance I had walked was only two or three hundred meters, and the injured area was already covered with a layer of fine fluff, and the bleeding had basically stopped.
The next step was to loosen the belt and let the blood flow in my legs again, but it was also a step that I was very worried about, if the white grass root could not effectively stop the bleeding, another bowl of blood could really be over......
Now I have no blood because of excessive blood loss, and if I go to play a ghost in a TV series, I don't even need to paint makeup, because I can act in my true colors!
In less than half a minute, the leg returned to its normal color again, but it was obvious that the blood flowing out of the wound was flowing faster, and there were some signs of slow flow from the complete non-flow just now.
But at this rate, it is estimated that it only takes a maximum of ten minutes of immobility, and the wound can be completely closed, and as long as there is no strenuous exercise, it should not be a big problem!
The next time is not suitable for activities, you can only wait for the wound to slowly recover while closing your eyes and recuperating, and summarize today's gains and losses!
Of course, it seems that there is only loss but no gain, and there is a lot to lose, and what I gain is not what I want, that is, life-threatening wounds and pain......
Today's encounter is unfortunate, but there are also many lucky things in the whole process, and if it weren't for my luck, I should have confessed to it.
First, the size of the shark encountered is not large in its entire population, compared to the size of the great white shark, which is often three or five meters, today this bull shark is only less than two meters, if it is a big shark, it can swallow half of my body.
Second, discovering its figure in advance made me run a distance of dozens of meters first, otherwise the last few tens of meters would become a high mountain that stopped me from going ashore, and it would be difficult to climb.
Thirdly, I counterattacked as soon as I got into the bite, so that my limited physical strength was not wasted too much, and the longer I stalemate, the worse it was for me, and I hit both times.
The last and most fortunate point is that I didn't bite the artery, if I bite the artery, I believe that I may not even be able to get on the shore and will die of excessive blood loss!
In general, today is extremely bad, but I am also extremely lucky, I got an injury, and I also picked up a life, as for whether I can save it, I have to look at the use of it!
After this lesson, I may not go to the sea easily, or even again, because seafood is delicious, but it is not more important than my own life!
......
After sitting quietly in the woods for two or three hours, the wound on my leg has basically been sealed, and I should go back to Crocodile Island, if I don't leave, I may not be able to go back with my mobility.
Moreover, there is no food on the body that can last more than a day, and the houses that were originally left on the island are completely abandoned because they can't be kept, and the longer you stay, the weaker your body will become, and if you are hungry, it will make you feel even more uncertain.
Besides, I don't know how long I have to sail on the sea, but today's state is very different from normal, and I just hope that the wind and waves at the beach will not be smoother.
But there is one more very important thing to do before leaving, although I am reluctant to destroy the only fabric on my body --- pants, but I must do it!
Wounds that have just stopped bleeding are very fragile, and if they are accidentally pricked by weeds or scratched by thorns, they will bleed again, and even walking too high can cause the wound to collapse.
All I could do was cut my trousers into strips five to ten centimeters wide, and the wounds on my legs were circled and tied, and they were tight.
The effect is somewhat similar to the previous leggings, which can slow down the vibration of the muscles, and from the inside, it feels more powerful to have a support on the leg, and the key is to reduce a lot of pain......
When I got back to the beach, I didn't go straight to the boat, but took out the little dry food and water I had brought with me to pad my belongings.
