Chapter 2: The Secret Cave
When he came to his senses again, Qin Fengming found that he was already in a mountain stream, and when he looked up, he was twenty or thirty zhang away from the top of the cliff.
He couldn't help but be secretly frightened, falling from such a height, he didn't fall to his death.
I think it was because of its small body and light body, the small trees sticking out of the cliff wall slowed down the descent, and there were thick leaves and dead branches under the cliff, which turned the danger into a disaster.
Qin Fengming struggled to get up from the dead branches and rotten leaves, moved his hands and feet slightly, and found that none of them were broken.
But there are many places on his body, which are scratched by tree branches. There were two or three wounds that were still very deep. When you move a little, the pain is abnormal.
Qin Fengming knew that he needed to find some hemostatic herbs as soon as possible, otherwise he would lose too much blood and would be difficult to move. He often went hunting in the mountains with his father, and he also knew that those herbs could stop bleeding and relieve pain.
There were injuries on his body, so it was very difficult to move, and when Qin Fengming's physical strength was about to be exhausted, he finally found a cluster of herbs commonly used by villagers to stop bleeding.
Sitting next to the herbs, he rested for a while, and after he had some physical strength, Qin Fengming pulled out the herbs by the roots, patted off the soil on them, put them in his mouth, and chewed them hard.
He then applied it to the wound and tore off several strips of clothing from his body and tied them up.
After a while, there was a tingling sensation from the wound, and Qin Fengming knew that it was the herb that had taken effect, so he lay down on the dead leaves and closed his eyes.
Nearly an hour, Qin Fengming opened his eyes, stood up, and felt that the pain in the wound had greatly decreased. Looking up at the sky, it was still more than an hour before it got dark.
He knew that at this time, he needed to find a hidden place to spend the night as soon as possible. As for how to get home, that's not something to think about today.
Although Qin Fengming was only ten years old, he had already spent the night in the mountains and forests several times. Know where the berries can be fed, where to spend the night, and how to hide from danger.
Step by step, I searched and found a lot of berries. And in a place where the mountain wall is one meter high from the bottom of the cliff, a cave was found. Qin Fengming pulled a dead branch with difficulty, moved some dead leaves and berries to the hole according to the dead branch, and then climbed in.
Night was fast approaching, and the black press couldn't see his fingers.
After eating a few berries, curling up among the dead leaves, listening to the insects outside the cave and the howling of wild beasts in the distance, Qin Fengming felt a little scared in his heart.
For a while, I thought about how my father and grandfather fought with the boar, and for a while, I thought about my mother and grandmother at home, and I didn't know if I had fallen off the cliff. Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and after a night of recuperation, I don't know if it was because the child had a strong recovery ability, or if the curative effect of the herbs was good, the wound on Qin Fengming's body was not very painful.
After eating some berries and drinking some clear spring water, I felt my body feel strong again.
Qin Fengming still had a knife on his body, and when he fell off the cliff yesterday, the knife was not lost.
He found a branch the thickness of a baby's arm and sharpened it as a weapon. Look at the sun in the sky, decide the direction, and walk slowly forward.
As he was walking, suddenly, Qin Fengming felt a softness under his feet, and his whole body fell down. It was two or three meters high before it hit a hard ground, and then rolled down a ramp.
When he stopped, he was in a vast cave, and it was pitch black in front of him.
Slowly, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he saw that there were many faint lights around the cave, and when he shone it down, there was a faint light, and Qin Fengming looked at the cave carefully.
Faintly, I saw that the cave was twenty or thirty zhang long and wide, and three or four zhang high. On the edge of the cave, a small river flowed through it, making a loud and tumbling sound. There are some large boulders scattered around the ground. Around the stone walls or on the top of the cave, there are some holes leading to the xiangshang face.
The light comes in through these holes.
Although he was scared in his heart, Qin Fengming still carried a stick and walked around searching, trying to find a way out.
Suddenly, three or four feet away, he spotted two objects glowing blue, and he immediately stopped his steps, holding a knife in his left hand and a stick in his right hand, and took precautions. Experience had told him that it might be some beast watching him.
In this way, Qin Fengming stood motionless and quietly.
After a long time, seeing that the luminous body had not moved, he gently lowered the stick, picked up a small stone under his feet, and threw it forward with all his might, and at the same time immediately picked up the stick and got ready.
Hearing only a bang, there was a "hiss" sound on the opposite side, judging from the sound, Qin Fengming knew that it was likely to be a snake ahead.
When the snake was attacked, it immediately raised its head and swam slowly towards Qin Fengming. When they were more than a zhang away, Qin Fengming saw clearly that it was actually a python, the thickness of a bowl, and more than a zhang long. The snake hyacinth hissed, her eyes glowing with a faint blue light.
The python found its prey and quickly rushed towards Qin Fengming.
Although Qin Fengming was scared in his heart, he had to muster up his strength and forcefully inserted the stick into the python's head, although it was inserted, it failed to fatally injure the python. The python was attacked on the head, flicked its tail and rolled towards it.
Qin Fengming jumped alertly behind a big rock next to him, narrowly dodging the python's blow.
In this way, he circled the boulder and began to dodge the python attack. Qin Fengming dodged while thinking of a way, he knew that if it took a long time, he would inevitably be caught by the python, and he would definitely die at that time.
At this critical juncture, he suddenly found that there were two big stones side by side, and there was a gap in the middle, if he could attract the python to rush here, he might pinch it between the two stones, and the snake would not retreat, which Qin Fengming knew.
With this in mind, he tried his best to lead the python to the rock.
After dodging several dangers, just when Qin Fengming's physical strength was about to run out, the opportunity finally came. The python opened its mouth of blood and swallowed it.
Qin Fengming struggled to flash to the side, and the python's head plunged straight into the gap between the two stones, revealing its head from the other side.
Regardless of fatigue, Qin Fengming quickly ran to the python with a stick and poked it in the head hard.
The python suffered from pain and struggled constantly, trying to break away from the stone crack it was holding onto. The wooden stick was only inserted a few times before it was broken in two, and Qin Fengming then slashed the python's head with a knife.
The python was hit hard and struggled even more violently. Finally, the stone loosened under the great force of the python. With his struggle, the python broke free from the shackles of the stone crevice, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed it towards Qin Fengming.
Because it was too sudden, and the distance between the two sides was so close, Qin Fengming had no way to hide, and he was immediately frightened.
With instinct, he closed his eyes, held the knife in both hands, and with all his strength, slammed into the python's mouth. Qin Fengming felt that the knife in his hand had stabbed something, and before he could check it, he fainted due to the exhaustion of his strength.
