Chapter 19: The Recurrence of Old Wounds
The pig man hugged me hard, his soft belly against me, as if I felt like I was back on the familiar Simmons at home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info closed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, hugged me, and the pair of big ears on his head that swayed from side to side from time to time caressed my face, as if he liked me very much as the new owner.
"Oops! I said, don't hold me all the time, your saliva is all over my face. ”
Although I like this pig man a lot, my honest appearance makes people like him unsuspectingly. But this pig man hugged me, and the hara in his mouth kept floating out of his mouth, sticking to my body and face, which made me quite embarrassed.
I had no choice but to speak, gently pushed him away with both hands, "broke free" from his arms, and quickly asked the tigress for a piece of cloth to wipe the saliva off her body.
The pig man was probably embarrassed too, and stood there in a silly voice, looking at me with one hoof scratching his head.
"Big C, this pig man seems to like you a lot. If you don't hug me, you don't hug the tigress, just hug you. ”
"What? Are you jealous? Then I'll let him hug you too, and give you the pleasure of taking a saliva bath. ”
"Haha, don't, don't, I have a cleanliness fetish, you know. However, since he has become our companion, he must have a name, and we can't keep calling him a pigman, how ugly it is. ”
"That's right, Big C, let's give him a name."
The tiger and the tigress asked me to give this pig man a name, but the most annoying thing in my life is to choose a name, usually play games, name the character, always think about it for a long time, but in the end I can only finish it hastily with a number such as a mobile phone number.
I looked at the pig man, and he looked at me blankly, as if listening to the name I was going to give him.
"Xiao Ming?"
When the tiger and the tigress heard my name, they actually laughed all of a sudden, and the tiger held his stomach and said to me,
"Do you think it's a brain teaser? Also Xiao Ming, how old-fashioned this name is. ”
"Isn't that bad at choosing names? You laugh at me, so you say one? ”
After saying that, I waved my hand and patted Huzi on the shoulder, which made me quite embarrassed to hear his ridicule.
"Ouch, it hurts. I said Big C, he is what you decided to take him, and the name must have been chosen by you. ”
"This..."
I looked at the pig man again, and I felt a dilemma in my heart, looking at his appearance, I really liked him in my heart, as the saying goes, a name determines a person's fate, and the same should be true for them who are animals. Anyway, it's also my "pet", and the name of this pet is my master's face, and if you take it casually, you will lose my owner's face.
"There it is!" After thinking about it for a long time, I finally had an idea in my heart, "Since my name is Big C, let's call him Little C." It's so much like a family~"
"Little C? It seems to be quite good, so that you will know that he is your person when you hear it. ”
I walked up to the pigman, touched his big ears, and said to him, "How about you call Little C in the future?" Is the name satisfying? ”
"Boom~Boom"
After listening to what I said, Little C began to smile happily again, and then hugged me again, hugged me excitedly, and began to jump.
"Looks like you. Okay, okay, put me down! ”
It's not that I deliberately didn't let Little C show his feelings, it's just that we're still in this place full of spiders and pig-man corpses, and the smell of blood still rushes to our noses as always. Coupled with being held by Xiao C like this, I actually felt nauseous all of a sudden, and my stomach was pounding, and I almost didn't vomit.
"Huzi, do you remember the way you came?"
I got off Xiao C, slowed down a little, and thought that this place should not stay for a long time, so I asked Huzi.
"Almost remember, let's go, I'll lead the way, let's go."
"Wait!"
As soon as Huzi turned around and wanted to leave, he was stopped by the tigress, and Huzi and I were very puzzled and looked at her.
"Do you want to take some of this meat with you?"
It turns out that the tigress is still thinking about these meats, although the changes after the mutant pig man ate this meat just now are indeed quite frightening, but the tigress is a sports person after all, and it is difficult for her to be a vegetarian all the time with us, and it is difficult to see some solid meat at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from her palm.
"Yes, bring some."
"Are you sure you won't have a problem? It won't be the same as that mutant pigman. ”
"It's okay, as long as there is a special way to deal with it."
"A special approach? You know? It's the first time we've come to this island, and it's the first time we've seen this spider."
"Ah?。。。 Well, I think I've seen it in a book before, so I guess I can't be wrong. ”
This special method has only been mentioned by Jing Che before, and he hasn't told me about it yet, and the tigress looks at me suspiciously when she sees me as if she knows these spiders. This caught me off guard, and I was glad that I didn't say anything about Jing Che, otherwise they would have thought that I was sick in the brain. In order not to keep the tigress from continuing to be suspicious, I could only hastily make up a reason, saying that I saw it in the book, so that the tigress dispelled her suspicions.
When the tigress heard me say that there was a special way to eat the meat, she was naturally very happy, so she quickly picked up the sapper shovel, and divided it by two to collect a few pieces of meat from a spider carcass next to her, and tied them up with the branches she had found before and carried them in her hands.
Then I asked Little C to follow the tiger and help him clean up the bushes and weeds on the road in front, the tigress followed them, and I walked at the end of the line.
"Jing Che, Jing Che! Come out quickly. ”
I called Jing Che softly, and my eyes were fixed on the people in front of me from time to time, for fear that they would hear me talking to myself alone in the back.
"What's wrong?"
When Jing Che heard me call him at this time, he was quite face-saving, and he appeared beside me at once.
"Do you know what to do with this meat? I told them it was okay to eat, but I'd have to say it when the specifics came, or they would think I was cheating on them. ”
"Hey, what did I say. It's pretty simple to say. There were a lot of red berries in the forest, similar in appearance to the cherries we ate, but a little bigger than the cherries. Pick some berries, then make a pot, put the meat and berries in and cook for about half an hour before eating. ”
"Oh? It's true? ”
"That's for sure, I've eaten this before, isn't it okay?"
"Aren't you dead now...
"You。。。 Forget it, I'll flash first, I'm too lazy to tell you. ”
Jing Che seemed to be speechless by my words, and suddenly disappeared again.
"Tigress, tiger!"
Then I quickly called out to the two men in front of me, and they also heard my voice, stopped, turned to look at me, and asked me what was so alarming.
I told the two of them what Jing Che had told me about the berries, and told them to keep an eye on the road and pick some berries if they found them.
Jing Che has been on this island for decades, and he knows more than I do, and along the way we were pleasantly surprised to find that there are indeed berries he said. We put a few in our mouths, and the sweet and sour taste was like cherries.
Seeing that there is nothing uncomfortable about our bodies after eating these berries, we are probably convinced that these berries can indeed be eaten as food. Whenever he found a berry, he plucked it from the branch. By the time we walked back to the meadow where we had been, we had all picked bags full of berries.
After returning to the camp, I found that there was a pot on the bonfire at some point, and I asked curiously to find out that the tigress had found some materials to make a pot by herself in the days when I was unconscious, although the side of the pot was rough and uneven, but I had to admire the tigress, how much ability this woman still hid.
In order to prepare dinner, the three of us finished the work, the tigress remained, the tiger went to fetch some water, and I went to find some firewood to make a fire.
I walked to the forest by myself, and I didn't go inside for fear of trouble, so I picked up some branches scattered on the ground at the edge of the forest.
"Ahh
Just as I was picking up a branch on the ground, I felt a sharp pain in my left arm hit my brain for no apparent reason.
I cried out in pain, my legs went limp, and I fell to my knees. I clutched my left arm and felt a dimple mark through my clothes.
I slowly rolled up my sleeves, and the sight in front of my eyes sent chills down my back.
The wound that was scratched open by the giant rabbit sneak attack before was already black at this time, and there seemed to be a few black hairs growing on the wound, and some deep black liquid was faintly oozing out of the wound.
"Tsk. That's it after all. ”
At this time, Jing Che appeared beside me again, bending over to look at my wounds.
"After all? What the hell is going on with me. Why did you get tickled and still look like this? And it's hairy? ”
"The claws of those giant rabbits are the weapons they rely on the most, and they have toxins attached to them. I saw you scratched by the giant rabbit before, and I also saw your wounds, and I saw that your wounds didn't change at that time, and I thought you were lucky not to be infected, so I didn't feel at ease. But now it looks like you're still infected. But I also wondered, after being scratched by the giant rabbit, the wound would become infected on the same day or the next day, and it took several days for you to feel the change, will it take too long? ”
"Don't worry about it for now, will I become like that mutant pig man if I get infected? Covered in black hair? ”
"I don't know. I haven't been infected either, but I know they have poison on their claws. ”
"It's... So what do I do now? ”
I looked at my wound that kept flowing black liquid outward, and I couldn't help but be scared in my heart, for fear that I would become like a mutant pigman, and I would become ugly, but I was afraid that I would become inhumane like a mutant pigman, and then I would kill myself with my own people, so what should I do.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jing Che said to me: "There is a swamp on this island, and there are plants growing in the swamp, which seems to be called Blancao, and that Blangrass is specially used for detoxification. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Well, you've got to hurry, we've got to find Blanx to fix your wounds. All I know is that it grows in swamps, but we'll have to find out where it is. So the sooner the better. ”
"Good!"
I took out a piece of cloth from my pocket, bandaged it vigorously on the wound, temporarily stopped the black liquid coming out, slowly propped myself up from the ground, and walked towards the camp with the firewood I had found.
The tiger also came back with water, and the tigress took what we had brought, and began to put the meat and berries in the pot and prepare supper.
I picked an open space and sat quietly alone, my hands lightly covering my wounds, my mind constantly fantasizing about my mutated scene.
"What's the fuss? Come over for dinner. ”
It didn't take long for the tigress to call out to me, and she took a piece of fat from the pot, put it on a leaf, and handed it to me.
Although the meat tastes a little old, it is still chewy, and the meat does not have any strange taste after cooking, only the faint aroma of berries fills the mouth.
But I didn't have much of the heart to savor the meat, and when I had finished stuffing it in my mouth, I got up and said to them.
"Tiger, tigress, let's find them separately, so hurry up."
"Split heads? This island is so dangerous, aren't you afraid of encountering anything alone? Huzi heard my proposal and looked at me in surprise.
"It's okay, we'll use this as a camp, and we can meet here then."
"But it's getting dark, you're going now?"
"Hmm. I still have some things to do. Gotta hurry. ”
"What do you have to do late at night? Won't it work tomorrow? ”
"I'll tell you later, I'll take Xiao C with me, don't worry."
I was afraid that mentioning my wound to them would only cause the two of them to worry more, so I quickly interrupted the conversation, I took the sapper shovel from the tigress, grabbed the ear of little C, who was still eating meat, and got up and walked out of the camp. Only the tiger and tigress behind him were left with surprised expressions on their faces.
