Chapter Twenty-Six: Recuperation

The night passed, and the next morning, when Fan Hu woke up, Song Lian was gone, and Fan Hu tried to get up with his right hand on the ground

Fan Hu gasped, sat up with the pain, lifted the blanket and looked down at his chest and left hand, only to see a large piece of gauze on his chest, and the lower arm of his left hand was wrapped in gauze, and the gauze on his arm was stained red with blood, Fan Hu wanted to raise his left hand, but a sharp pain immediately made him give up, and then Fan Hu tried to move his palms and fingers, and found that he could only move slightly, looking at the wounds on his body and hands, Fan Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your uncle!" Why are the injured and unlucky ones Lao Tzu?"

"! If you go on like this, when will you be able to get to the settlement" According to Fan Hu's estimate, if you want to fully recover, I'm afraid it will take nearly a month, even if you want to recover to be able to walk with weight, it will take at least half a month, but the only thing that makes Fan Hu happy is that the wolf king didn't have time to tear off his flesh and was killed by Song Lian, otherwise, he will really have to spend the New Year here, the meat is torn and torn off is two different things, the former can be sewn up and healed slowly, and the latter can be regrown with a piece of meat, which is more serious and takes longer, Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows it

Putting the blanket and feathers back on, Fan Hu looked around, on his left hand, the bonfire was burning, and only a small half of the dry wood burned in the bonfire was obviously new, five skewers of barbecue meat were inserted on the ground, under the scorching fire, the barbecue exuded a strong aroma of meat, and after the bonfire, there was a circle of traps made of sharpened wood, these traps surrounded Fan Hu in the corner in a semicircle, such a conspicuous trap was obviously to protect Fan Hu from being attacked by wild beasts when Song Lian was away, and outside the trap, The corpses of more than a dozen wolves and the wolf king were all gathered together, and the blood flowing from the corpses stained the soil on the ground red, extremely dazzling, Fan Hu looked at the two packs of instant noodles, a bottle of water and a pistol placed on the right hand side again, he didn't have to think about it to know that Song Lian must be afraid that he would not be convenient to prepare for him

"Hehe, this guy, it's a pity not to be a nanny" Fan Hu shook his head with a smile, that's what he said, but at this time Fan Hu's heart was still warm, although Song Lian was usually oily and smooth, and he didn't look reliable at all, but at critical moments, he was not ambiguous at all, and always tried his best to take care of him without any complaints, according to Song Lian's words, it was loyalty, of course, in his heart, Fan Hu has always regarded Song Lian as a companion, not a subordinate

However, Fan Hu's breakfast is not instant noodles, but the meat skewers left by Song Lian, it is estimated that Song Lian does not know when Fan Hu will wake up, and he is afraid that the meat skewers will be mushy, so he is far away from the fire, Fan Hu picked up the meat skewers and looked at them, and then put them on the fire to roast

Although the mountain province belongs to the south, it will not snow, and the temperature in winter will not be cold below freezing, but the cold of the mountain province is refreshing and clammy and cold, the cold degree is not inferior to the north, and even feels colder than the north

"Hmm....it's cold" Fan Hu's feeling at this time is that it is two heavens of ice and fire, the front is roasted by the fire, but the back is blown cold by the wind, but the blanket is not big enough and seriously injured, I can't do it when I want to get up and cross my legs, my hands are not long enough to lie down, and I will tear the wound when I get up, so I can only endure it so strongly for a bite of meat

In Fan Hu's trembling, the meat skewers were finally cooked, looking at the burnt yellow and fragrant meat skewers, the hungry and dizzy Fan Hu didn't care about the hot mouth at all, and opened his mouth to eat directly

"Ah.....h

Five strings of nearly a pound of meat were directly swallowed by Fan Hu's windswept stomach, it was rare to be able to eat meat for the first time, Fan Hu put the wooden skewer aside, then lay down and covered the blanket and rubbed his stomach contentedly, "Ah! It's so full! ”

"It's delicious, it's just a little less salt, it's so sleepy, hmm...."People are easy to get sleepy after eating, not to mention that Fan Hu is still seriously injured, and it is easier to get sleepy if he loses too much blood, although he just woke up, but after eating enough, Fan Hu still felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and Fan Hu fell asleep again in the smaller and smaller murmur

The sun gradually rose and then slowly set, the bonfire became smaller and smaller, and finally went out, only the charcoal was burning, and after the sun set and the sky darkened, Fan Hu woke up again

"Hmm....ahh

"Old Song" Fan Hu immediately beckoned, this person was none other than Song Lian who came back from work

At this time, Song Lian was wearing his suit of clothes and pants, with a large string of scales hanging on each shoulder, and a rifle in his hand

When he saw Fan Hu wake up, Song Lian immediately ran over, "Brother Fan, you're awake"

"Old Song, how is the situation today?" After Song Lian familiarly crossed the trap and ran to Fan Hu's side, Fan Hu saw Song Lian's appearance clearly through the last trace of afterglow, Song Lian was dirty at this time, his freshly washed clothes and pants were full of mud and blood stains, his face was dirtier than a beggar, and his face and eyes were tired

Fan Hu glanced at the scales that had been processed and brought back, "Old Song, I've worked hard for you today."

He brought all these scales back in one day, and he didn't have to think about it to know how hard it was

"Huh! It's okay! Today is very smooth, there are no tigers and leopards" Song Lian took off the scales and threw them on the ground, and immediately went to add firewood to light the fire, and when the fire was bigger, Song Lian walked to Fan Hu's side, squatted down, lifted the blanket, and checked the gauze on Fan Hu's body, "Brother Fan, how is it, do you feel better?" ”

Looking at Song Lian's dirty face, Fan Hu endured the pain and smiled easily, "It's okay!" Much better! Don't worry! ”

"Okay, I'll change the dressing for you" Song Lian raised his head, "Brother Fan, you bear with it"

"Don't worry!" Fan Hu nodded and said it was no problem

"I'll go get the medicine" After speaking, Song Lian went to the backpack on the side, took the medicine box and put it on the ground to open it, and then began to tear the medical tape with his hands

"Shhhh Oh" Fan Hu inhaled the cold air and exhaled in pain, and the tape plucked his hair together, which was quite painful

Of course, this pain is not a matter at all for survivors like Fan Hu, it is just an instinctive reaction to human pain, which Song Lian also knows, so he didn't even react at all

"Ahh In Fan Hu's cry of pain, Song Lian finally removed all the gauze

By the light of the fire, Song Lian carefully looked at the wound on Fan Hu's body, the wound on Fan Hu's chest was scratched by the tip of the wolf king's claws, although the wound was a little long and a little much, but the wound was very narrow and shallow, after being sewn up by Song Lian, under the treatment of medicine, the blood had completely stopped, and some marginal positions had begun to show signs of healing

Song Lian gently took Fan Hu's left hand and looked up and down, contrary to the wound on his chest, the wolf king's tearing caused Fan Hu's left hand to be full of tear-like irregular wounds, which were extremely difficult to heal, especially a palm-sized piece of flesh on the back of the arm was torn off in half, and after carefully checking it, Song Lian found that there was nothing abnormal in the other wounds, except for the most serious wound, some turbid white liquid flowed out from the gap in the sutures, and the flesh in that place showed signs of ulceration

Song Lian wiped the white liquid with his fingers, then put it in front of his eyes, and pinched his fingers up and down: "Pus is flowing!" ”

Then Song Lian raised his head and looked at Fan Hu, "Brother Fan, the wound is infected and must be retreated"

Song Lian didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took out alcohol from the medicine box to disinfect his hands to avoid reinfection, then took out scissors to disinfect, and raised his head to remind Fan Hu before he started, "Brother Fan, bear with it!" ”

As soon as he saw Song Lian's posture, Fan Hu immediately understood, picked up the blanket and bit it directly in his mouth, "Let's do it"

In general, the wound after sterilization is drained with pus. If the situation is not serious, you just need to clean the wound again, get another injection or take some anti-inflammatory drugs, but Fan Hu is not a doctor after all, and they have no professional medical experience, so the safest way is to remove the infected tissue

"It's coming" Song Lian didn't talk nonsense, and did it directly

Song Lian first used scissors to cut the line near the wound, and then gently turned the meat open with scissors, and the wound was reopened, making Fan Hu's right hand clenched tightly into a fist in pain

After carefully inspecting it, Song Lian found that the inside of Fan Hu's wound was not infected, only the two sides of the edge of the wound that were bleeding pus, "Brother Fan, I did it!" You bear with it! ”

Song Lian looked up at Fan Hu and saw Fan Hu nodding, and then Song Lian didn't care about it, lowered his head and opened the scissors to cut it directly

Seeing how painful it was to see his flesh being cut alive, "Hmm......" Fan Hu kept roaring in pain, trembling all over, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, the green tendons in his neck burst out, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and kept beating the ground, but even so, Fan Hu tried his best to control his left hand not to move so as not to interfere with Song Lian

Song Lian naturally knew about Fan Hu's reaction, but Song Lian didn't even raise his eyes, because compared to Xiao Ming, this pain was nothing at all, Song Lian concentrated on cutting off pieces of infected meat, fortunately, there were not many places where Fan Hu's wounds were infected, and soon Song Lian cut off all the infected meat

After checking again, Song Lian put down the scissors, but this was not the end, because the flesh was cut off and Fan Hu used too much force, blood continued to flow out of the wound on Fan Hu's chest and left hand, Song Lian quickly wiped the blood with gauze, and then used alcohol and iodine to clean all the suppurated places before, put good medicine, re-stitch the wound with needle and thread, and finally wrapped all the wounds with new gauze

"Okay" Song Lian sat on the ground, and Song Lian was already a little exhausted at this time

"Ah" Hearing this, Fan Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and then went straight back and gasped

"Brother Fan, I'll clean up and get food" After helping Fan Hu cover the quilt, Song Lian endured his exhaustion and got up to get food, at this time Fan Hu was seriously injured and couldn't move, and all the work had to be done by him alone

Because Fan Hu's body needs nutrition, plus they have just killed so many wolves, and there is enough meat, so naturally they cook wolf meat to eat at night, put water in the pot and add salt to the meat, and after a busy time, they can finally eat, and Song Lian can finally take advantage of the time to eat to rest for a while

Since they only had one pot, in order to take care of Fan Hu, Song Lian could only squat next to Fan Hu and hold the pot in front of Fan Hu, "Huh" Fan Hu lowered his head and blew a breath, and then carefully drank a sip of hot soup, his body instantly felt extremely comfortable, and then Fan Hu took a piece of meat with chopsticks with his only movable right hand, blew it and put it in his mouth

Fan Hu exhaled and chewed the meat in his mouth, and glanced at the string of scales next to the campfire, "Ha....hmm... Old Song, why did you get the scales right so quickly today? ”

Fan Hu knew how hard these scales were, originally Fan Hu wanted to use them for two days, but he thought that Song Lian would be able to do it in one day by himself, which made him a little surprised and curious

Song Lian turned his head to look at the scales, then looked at Fan Hu and swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Oh! It occurred to me in the morning that why not use the fire to bake the scales until they were soft and then make holes, so I took a torch and made a fire there."

"It turns out that my conjecture is correct, the scales become soft as soon as they are baked, and I broke them with a knife, and it was all done in one morning" After speaking, Song Lian shrugged his shoulders

Song Lian Fan Hu, who heard it, instantly understood: "Yes! I didn't think of that."

No matter how hard the scales are, after all, they are still scales instead of steel, and the flesh is still afraid of fire, but everything has two sides, although the scales have become extremely hard due to mutation, but they still have not gotten rid of their fear of fire

Then Fan Hu suddenly thought of a question: "Old Song, what are you doing in the afternoon?" "Song Lian has all the scales in the morning, and he should come back in the afternoon

Song Lian picked up the pot and took a sip of hot soup: "Oh! The hawk's beak and claws of the mutant eagle, the teeth and snake skin of the mutant python are all good things and cannot be wasted", speaking of this, Song Lian thought about it and continued, "I should be able to get it all back tomorrow!" And get some meat to eat by the way! ”

Fan Hu said by Song Lian naturally understands that now he is injured and can only rely on Song Lian alone, and tomorrow is the next day, and there will definitely be fierce beasts, so Fan Hu solemnly looked at Song Lian and explained, "Old Song, there will definitely be beasts tomorrow, you must pay attention to safety, if you can't do it, withdraw first, safety first"

Although he knew that there was danger, Fan Hu did not let Song Lian give up now, in this cruel apocalypse, crises are everywhere, they have to face unknown dangers every day of their life, they can only keep arming themselves to strengthen themselves, so that they can have the ability to protect themselves in the face of a huge crisis, so the only thing he can do is to remind Song Lian to be careful

For Fan Hu's concern and reminder, Song Lian smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Brother Fan, I have my own measure, I don't want to die young so soon", after eating the last piece of meat, Song Lian took a sip of soup, and then handed the pot to Fan Hu, "Nuo, Brother Fan, finish the soup"

After Fan Hu took over the pot, Song Lian patted his ass and got up, "Brother Fan, rest when you are sleepy, I'll go and dispose of the corpse."

"Okay! Go for it," Fan Hu nodded, drinking the rest of the soup in one go

Song Lian picked up his rifle and two torches and turned around and walked over the trap to the corpse of the wolves and began to work, although it was winter and the temperature was low, but if the corpse was not disposed of quickly, the meat would rot and deteriorate

In the dark night, by the light of the fire, Song Lian took a dagger to peel off the wolf skins and put them on the ground, and then cut pieces of wolf meat into sizes that were convenient for hanging, shaking, roasting and carrying and putting them on the wolf skins, while Fan Hu lay on the blanket and looked sideways at Song Lian busy alone

Tonight is destined to be a busy night............
