Chapter Twenty-Six: Do You Have a Lighter?
"I'm fine, what's wrong with you?" I pretended to be relaxed, and I didn't know exactly where the fat man was standing, so I could only look to one side by feeling.
"I think there's something wrong with you, so I want to come down and take a look." The fat man's voice came from the darkness, and I followed the sound and shifted my gaze up appropriately. As a result, the fat man didn't seem to notice anything unusual about me, but said in a hutter, "What is Captain Wen doing?" What's it mixed with? Well? It's all sauce jars down there, I see, this is the rhythm of pickles. ”
Liu Rumei and I didn't have the heart to pick up the fat man's words. But I still looked back, and the tumbling points of light were more like flying fireflies at the moment, more than just now, and even a little near the three of us.
"Smack!" There was a slapping sound from the fat man's side, followed by a shout: "Ouch! I rub, what bug stung me? ”
I didn't have time to think, so I hurriedly grabbed Liu Rumei's hand and said to her, "Pull up the fat man and go quickly." ”
"Hmm." Liu Rumei just responded, and then asked the fat man: "Wang Bo, are you okay?" Let's get out of here first. ”
"It's okay...... It's just that it hurts......" The fat man heard that he was leaving, and his spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end came again, and he asked: "By the way, why do you want to leave?" I've just come down, and before I understand what's going on, I'm leaving. ”
My scalp was a little numb, and I thought, "My uncle, don't ask, let's stay away and talk slowly?" "But I know that if I say so, the fat man will probably ask and grind. Just when I was at a loss, Liu Rumei said, "Wang Bo, there are very little killer bees here, let's go quickly." ”
"Ahh The fat man was surprised, and then his voice roared urgently: "Then if you didn't say it earlier, you would have caused me to be stung." ”
"Let's go!" I urged.
"Madan, I definitely can't climb up that rope, what should I do?" The fat man's anxious voice came again.
Such a thin rope, more than 20 meters high, not to mention that the fat man can't climb up, I can choke enough. I looked around at the darkness around me, the number of "flowing fireflies" was increasing, and I smiled bitterly in my heart, it seemed that whether I could climb it or not, I had to climb it.
At this moment, I saw Liu Rumei pulling me in the direction I was going, which was already full of "flowing fireflies". I hurriedly stopped and said, "There are a lot of them ahead, too." ”
"Is there one? I can't see it. The fat man's voice came, and then he was heard again, "Oops! A scream.
“……”
The fat man was hurt twice, and he was obviously much more honest, and shouted urgently: "Waste, you should speak quickly which way to go." ”
I looked around, and suddenly found that there was a dark spot where there was no "flowing firefly", so I hurriedly pointed to that side and said, "Xiaoyanagi, look at what is over there." ”
"There's the cave wall over there." Liu Rumei looked at it and said, "Huh...... There seems to be a hole in the bottom. ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "Let's go there and hide first." ”
"Where?" The fat man is still asking.
"Look at that." Liu Rumei pointed to the fat man.
At this time, my vision had narrowed to the point where I could only see Liu Rumei beside me, and she pulled me over the mess of wood quickly, and soon arrived at the hole I had just discovered.
"Enter, enter, enter......" the fat man urged behind me, and it seemed that he should have fallen behind when he had just turned over the woods.
After entering the cave, Liu Rumei asked, "Qin Fen, isn't there anything here?" ”
I first looked at the darkness around me, nodded, and then saw two more points of light that didn't move, and they seemed to be getting bigger, and I thought about it and asked, "Fatty, you've got a sting on the head?" ”
"yes, yes." The fat man replied.
"Hurry up and deal with it." I hurriedly said, "That bug might still be on it." ”
"I'll do it." Without waiting for the fat man to speak, Liu Rumei had already begun to untie her backpack and find a small first-aid kit from it.
At this time, the fat man came over, squatted down and stretched his neck, and said, "Miss Xiaoliu, it's all behind your neck." ”
"Qin Fen, you come to illuminate."
"Hmm."
"That's it."
"Hmm."
When I got closer to the fat man, I found that the two points of light were two insects, with a trace of fluorescence flowing on the dark red, the size of a little finger, tightly attached to the back of the fat man's neck.
"This thing looks like it's sucking blood." I said with some uncertainty.
"It seems so." Liu Rumei nodded.
"It's kind of like a leech."
"But this one has wings, leeches don't."
“……”
"When is this coming, you two don't study it yet." The fat man who was squatting on the ground roared and said, "Hurry up and get the bugs down......"
"Uh-huh......"
In fact, when we were talking, Liu Rumei had been busy, at first she took out the tweezers from the first aid kit and played back and forth for a long time, and then tried to drag, and found that the insect bit very tightly, so she gave up. Then I tried other methods, and it turned out that these two bugs seemed to grow on the back of the fat man's neck, and they couldn't get rid of them.
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Liu Rumei: "I used to hear the old man say that grass ticks can't be dragged off by sucking blood, and they will be burned lightly with fire, why don't we try it?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Rumei nodded, and then asked, "Do you have a lighter?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, I don't smoke." ”
"Then you go to my backpack and get it, I remember it's inside."
"Oh, where?"
"I don't remember either, just look for it."
“……”
Just as I was rummaging through my backpack, the fat man held a lighter in his hand and said, "Ancestor, don't look for it, I have a ...... here."
Sure enough, the method of burning with fire is still reliable. Liu Rumei used the flame of the lighter to scorch, and the insect quickly curled and fell.
"Looks like this thing is afraid of fire." Liu Rumei pinched the fallen insect with tweezers and looked at it carefully, then frowned and asked, "Qin Fen, do you know what a grass tick looks like?" ”
"I've seen it before." I looked at the bug on the tweezers and said, "It's about the same as this thing, but it's not that big, and it doesn't have wings." ”
"Oh, that's right." As Liu Rumei spoke, he used a lighter to burn the worms on the tweezers, and threw them aside after making sure they were dead, and then went to dispose of the other one.
"When I was a child, I grew up in the village with fat people, and at that time, basically every family raised cattle, and there were occasional grass ticks on the cows." I was helping Liu Rumei illuminate while idle.
"Cattle breeding? Is it a scalper? Liu Rumei asked with some curiosity.
"Hmm." I nodded.
"I've heard that cattle used to plough the land, but I've never seen it, and I can't imagine how cattle plough the land." As Liu Rumei spoke, she picked up another curled insect, burned it with a lighter, and threw it aside again after making sure it was dead.
"It used to be like that, but now it's all mechanized, and there are hardly any cattle in the village, and of course no cattle plowing the land."
"It's a pity."
"Uh-huh."
“……”
At this time, the fat man interjected again and asked, "Miss Xiaoliu, have you done it?" ”
"Well, it's coming."
The two bugs left two small holes in the back of the fat man's neck, and they kept bleeding out, and they looked terrible. Liu Rumei quickly wiped it with a disinfectant cotton, and then took out a piece of excipient and pressed it to stop the bleeding, but found that the blood was still oozing out quickly.
I thought for a moment and said, "That bug must have injected anticoagulant stuff near the wound." ”
Liu Rumei nodded and said, "Maybe, in short, pressing to stop the bleeding doesn't seem to work." ”
"Hmm." I then asked, "Do you have any other medicine in the bag?" ”
Liu Rumei shook his head: "No." ”
“……”
"Let's try burning it with fire." The fat man couldn't hold it back and interjected again.
"It's a way, too." I nodded.
Liu Rumei said: "Let's press it for a while." ”
"Hmm."
“……”
After a few more moments, the excipients pressed against the wound were completely soaked with blood. After Liu Rumei took away the excipients, the two wounds began to bleed out again. She frowned and said, "It's not okay, doesn't it work with fire?" ”
"It should work." I was a little uncertain and said, "At least that's what happens on TV." ”
"So how should I get it?"
"This ......," I thought for a moment, and said, "Try to make that little tweezer red and scald." ”
"How hot?"
“……”
"Otherwise, you should come." Liu Rumei said, and was about to hand me the lighter and small tweezers in his hand.
"You'd better come." I went on to say, "You first use a lighter to burn the tip of the tweezers red, and then burn the wound." ”
"I can't do it."
"I can't do it either......"
"I can do it!" The fat man dragged and cried and said, "Big brother, big sister, can I do it?" Why are you two so nagging today, aren't we hot? Let the blood flow? ”
"Okay, I'll come." I saw that the fat man was in a hurry, so I hurriedly took the lighter and tweezers from Liu Rumei's hand, and handed her the strong flashlight in my hand.
"I'm not hot." The fat man straightened up as he spoke.
"Good, obedient." I put my hand around the fat man's neck and said, "Just take a moment." ”
"It's okay to be hot, but you two are not allowed to talk anymore, I have a headache when I hear it." The fat man quieted down, and then put on a posture of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water" and said, "Hot." ”
Actually, Liu Rumei and I really didn't mean to nag, we didn't say a word, mainly because of nervousness. I haven't seen this bug before, will it be poisonous? Are there any sequelae? This is all in two ways, in case of an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.
I quickly reddened the tip of the tweezers with a lighter and applied it to one of the wounds. There was a soft sound of "sneer......", and a burnt smell rose. I hurriedly removed the tweezers and looked at the wound again, which had been scalded white and of course no longer bled out. So, according to the prescription, he grabbed the medicine and quickly took care of another wound. At this time, Liu Rumei took out antibiotic ointment from the first-aid kit and smeared some on the fat man's wound.
After I put down what I was holding, I patted the fat man on the back with my hand and said to him, "Okay." ”
"Ahh The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, sat down on the ground with his buttocks, and said, "I can see that you two were sent by God to deliberately fix me." ”
