Volume 1 Undercurrent Chapter 3 Blood Leeches
I pointed to the groove that had been washed out of the river, and pretended to be very knowledgeable, and said, "How much impact does it take to form such a groove?" It's not a day or two to complete, we go all the way down the river, and the upstream channel is significantly twice as wide as the upstream river compared to the river here, and this doesn't need a reasonable explanation? ”
Then I pointed to the surrounding peaks, "It's winter and the rain is not much, but the water here is so deep, and it's winter, and the climate below feels like summer, and the peaks on both sides are like giants splitting with axes, this is not a full explanation, if you come here in summer, the danger has reached the point where there is no return, the dark stream in June is no return, and the Sancha River becomes a ghost crossing, isn't this the reason?" ”
"What do you mean is that when our grandfather came here, they encountered dangers were natural disasters, you are afraid that you want to laugh to death so that I can inherit the five cents under my pillow, I think what you said is very wrong, if it is really such a natural disaster, they can not do it, anyway, it is hired by others, no matter how important the money is, you have to have a life to spend it, it is impossible to know that there is a risk below and come to die, or half of the people who died at one time, or half of the people who died in a day or two, It is impossible to die one today and one tomorrow, so it is too unrealistic not to run. ”
I wanted to refute him, but I felt that he was very reasonable, after all, only my grandfather knew about what happened back then, and since he was unwilling to say it, there might be some special reason, not for us to come up with the answer by pondering here.
After moving for a while, I felt some sensation in my legs and feet, and I didn't plan to continue to explore this unanswered topic, "Do you feel better, you can slow down and set off, and if you delay any longer, it will be dark, you shouldn't be afraid of this water depth, right?" "The sun has receded to the top of the mountain, and it will be dark in about an hour, and it will be dark in the wilderness, and it is still by the river, and the sky is full of dangers.
He glanced at the river channel of more than 30 meters, nodded to me and said, "I'm not afraid of ten meters or eight meters deep, we have equipment." With that, he took out a small cloth bag from his bag, took out an inflatable life jacket, blew full of air and put it on.
"It's good to have money, how much did you pay for this thing?" I looked at him with some envy, but he noticed the change in my eyes at all, patted the brand-new life jacket and said, "More than fifty yuan, let's go." ”
It may be the confidence that his equipment brought him, and he didn't hesitate to open the vanguard, and when he entered the water, he said: "Eh~ Why is the water here so warm, it's a world of difference from what was there just now!" I don't even want to get up. He was a little excited, and he swam in circles in the water with the help of a life jacket.
The boy didn't have much to say, and I said suspiciously, "Isn't this water from a river?" I'm afraid you're gritting your teeth and joking with me, now the river should come from the town, and the water won't be warm enough, so it's going to freeze a little bit. I said as I went down the river.
Psychologically ready to be frozen, just into the water, the unusual feeling of warmth came, this water is not as cold as in the dark stream river, but as warm as a hot spring, the extreme contrast makes me a little scared, obviously it is the water in a river, but the temperature difference is so big, I can't find any clues, I deeply feel that I am in vain in these nine years of compulsory education.
He was very fast, he was already swimming in the middle of the river, and the only thing I was glad about now was that my bag would not get into the water, otherwise it would have been really hard to catch up, and I was about to chase him when I heard him shouting something.
"Ahem, ahem, go, something is biting me in the water!" I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, but I could feel her calling me, and I picked up my speed and didn't get to him before I saw the water behind him turn red.
"What are you talking about, why is your water red?" As soon as I asked, the severe pain came from my legs, and the body naturally convulsed and submerged in the water, but fortunately, the water was good, otherwise I would definitely choke on the water now, I saw him choking, and endured the pain and supported him to move forward, close to the shore in front of me, just a few meters, probably I don't know what is attacking us in the water, I am too nervous and scared, and I feel that I can't swim my head.
Another tingling pain came from my calf, and I don't know if it was the water that wet my head, or the sweat from my pain, Zhou Yifeng coughed up the water to ease his strength, and the two of them worked together to swim forward desperately.
Two people moving forward together is always much faster than one person, a few meters away from the shore soon to the shore, quickly climbed ashore, paralyzed on the pebbles panting, the pain in the legs is still strong, I out of the steel pipe, pulled out the knife hidden in half a meter, endured the pain and cut the trouser leg.
I was startled when I saw the situation on my legs, two fist-sized, blood-red leeches lay on my legs, blood kept flowing out, looking at the appearance of the two blood leeches, they wanted to get into my body.
My scalp was numb, if this thing entered the body, how could there be life, hurriedly took out the salt from the bag, sprinkled it on their backs, not to mention that this thing is really afraid of salt, just touch the salt and fall to the ground.
However, where the blood leech touched the salt, it turned blue, and the blue was very strange, and there was no time to observe it superfluously, looking at the two big holes in the calf, the blood was not stopped, and the salt was thrown to Zhou Yifeng, I saw some wild mint next to me, crawled over and pulled it and crawled back.
I took a sip of a bottle of liquor, yes, this is what I stole from my dad, picked up a few wild mint plants and stuffed them in my mouth, and then poured the liquor on the wound, panting and breathing, the ninja chewed the wild mint in my mouth hard, chewed for a minute, spit out the wild mint that I chewed thinly, applied it to the two wounds, took out toilet paper and tape to fix it, the proficiency of a process, for me who is often injured, is normal.
I looked at Zhou Yifeng after treating the wound, and said with a wicked smile: "You come by yourself or me." ”
Zhou Yifeng swallowed his saliva and looked at the sweat on my head, "It's better for me to do it myself." "I picked up the liquor on the ground and tried to pour some on the wound, my eyes were about to bulge out in pain, and at this time my ears were filled with my unkind laughter.
"Laugh at your uncle, you laugh, as if Lao Tzu was injured alone, what kind of grass are you, give me some!"
"You pour more washing, this blood-red leech is the first time I've seen it, I don't know if it's poisonous or not, this bacteria must be there, wash it clean and don't leave any sequelae." Hand him a few mints for him to chew on himself, after all, this thing really doesn't taste good.
He chewed a few times and grinned a little dissatisfied, and said, "What the hell are you, it's so unpalatable, don't poison me." ”
"There are so many criticisms, do you want it or not? Chew it up, it seems that our plan to rest here has changed, this leech is supposed to live on the shore, it is too dangerous here, we have to hurry to the goat's cave, it should be better to rest there. ”
"Did our grandfather tell you that there is this fatal thing in here?" Seeing that I shook his head, he continued, "The one that was picked up is not biological, and the identification is complete." ”
"You're the one who picked it up, this thing is so weird, you see that they haven't melted into water when they touch the salt, they just turn blue and shrink a circle, who can't remember it when they see it? My grandfather, if he saw it, he would have told me. I looked at the two leeches next to me and scolded him.
"What, then why did this one on my side die, and it didn't turn blue!" As soon as I heard him, I immediately looked over, and sure enough, one of the leeches on his side not only did not change color, but half of them turned into thick water.
But why hasn't I changed here? I took out the glass bottle that I was going to hold the beautiful stones, put two blue leeches in half, made a hole in the lid to let them breathe, and put them in my bag to take them back and ask my grandfather.
"What are you doing with this thing, I'm not afraid that it will run out and kill you!" He questioned me.
I replied casually, "It's useful, it's hard to mess with me one day and let them bite you to death." ”
Zhou Yifeng spit out the wild mint chewed in his mouth and applied it to the wound, and I helped him fix it, "Come on, you're happy, how long will it take for us to arrive?" ”
"Walk through the bamboo forest below to the bottom of the cave, the hole is halfway up the mountainside, hurry up and we can get it before dark." I got up and tried to take two steps, but it didn't hurt much, and the bleeding stopped.
"Your little weed really works, it doesn't hurt much, wouldn't it be a fortune if you sell it?" Seeing that he was not serious, I really wanted to throw him into the water.
I subconsciously looked into the water, my eyes were about to bulge, he saw that my expression was not normal, and also turned around, and thousands of blood-red leeches in the water swam where we flowed blood, goosebumps fell to the ground.
"Good boy, why are there so many things here, if we come up two steps late, we probably won't be able to come up now." Zhou Yifeng wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.
What I'm worried about now is how to go back, everything is not going well, I am a little scared, are we really going to give our lives here as I dreamed of Ah Sen?
