Chapter 61: The Betel Tree
The locusts hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, for fear that the miasma would enter their mouths and noses.
However, Li Yi did not do so. He picked up Song Yushu, opened his eyelids, took out a light source from his pocket, shone it on the little man's face, and then groped around Song Yushu's body.
"The whites of the eyes are yellow, there are bruises on the face, the scars are purple in color, and there are salt stains on the skin." Li Yi frowned and gently put down Song Yushu. "He was running violently just now, breathing too fast, and the miasma entered the bloodstream along the organs, and now his body has turned into toxic gas, and his nerves have been paralyzed."
"Huh." The locusts stood in the distance, not daring to exhale. "You really have a heart."
He looked at Li Yi's appearance and looked at this young man with a beautiful face, and he couldn't imagine that this guy's heart would be black.
"I'm a doctor, after all." Li Yi gave Song Yushu an emergency treatment, he broke Song Yushu's tightly clenched palm, and suddenly was a little stunned.
Li Yi raised his head and looked at the locust.
"Fortunately, you gave him blood, and now the toxin is draining out, so there is not much danger for the time being."
"Phew." The locust took a sip and played with the piece of iron in his hand, wiping the blood stains off it. "Lao Tzu wants him to die, surnamed Li, you are kind."
"He's still useful." Li Yi only said this, then picked up Song Yushu and staggered to the depths of the forest. "By the way, it's useless to cover your mouth, locusts, miasma, to put it bluntly, is the rotten smell of corpses and the poisonous gas produced by the humid and hot climate, this toxin will seep through the skin, even if you don't breathe, it's okay."
"Grass." The locust cursed and caught up in a few steps.
He knew that Li Yi had a way to solve this miasma, but he didn't know why, so far, Li Yi has not taken any action.
Li Yi carried Song Yushu on his back and walked step by step towards the depths of the forest, his steps gradually slowed down, but the locusts following him became more and more unable to understand Li Yi. The farther they walked into the forest, the sounds of restlessness and restlessness not far away came from the darkness, but they kept a certain distance from them.
It's the smell of blood that attracts these things. The locust thought as he slowed his pace. The miasma in the air also seemed to be getting thicker, and although it was impossible to see these things clearly, the locust felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and his consciousness seemed to be a little blurry.
It's like getting drunk.
"What the hell are you thinking?" In the second half, the locust saw that Li Yi was clearly panting heavily, and almost every step he took, he had to stop in place to rest.
"What?" Li Yi asked puzzled.
"What's the benefit of carrying this kid on your back?" The locusts glanced at Song Yushu, and couldn't help but ask after all. "You said he was useful, Lao Tzu looked left and right, this kid is a fart, he doesn't have a brain, he is in a lot of trouble, but he makes trouble for Lao Tzu."
"Besides, he left the smell of blood in this place." The locust sniffed, there were many smells in the forest, and the smell of blood itself should not be particularly strong, but I don't know why, Song Yushu's blood and qi kept coming out.
"It's the spores of the fungus, and they're delivering the taste." Li Yi said, glanced back at the locust, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
"Whatever the reason." The locusts followed suit. "Then there's no need to keep it."
"To get out of this forest, you have to be able to use it." Li Yi changed his usual attitude, and suddenly his tone became cold. "Locust, you should have a reaction."
"What?" The locust suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Lack of stride." Li Yi glanced up and down at the locusts. "Confusion, strength
Some of them don't need it, do you feel that your breath is inexplicably disordered? ”
The locust didn't speak, just because Li Yi's every word hit his pain point. Since entering the forest, it seems that every step has taken these risks and pains, and his eyes are full of gold stars.
"I'm the one who bears the burden, but it's you, locust, who can't stand it. You noticed it. Li Yi said with a smile.
"Huh?" The locust jerked its head up, its eyes red.
He suddenly felt as if a centipede was crawling on his body, and the numb and itchy sensation came down his palms, shoulders and knees, and this pain and itching in the joints made him cry out.
"Am I poisoned too?" The locust suddenly realized that he was red-eyed and glared at Li Yi.
"Okay, the surname is Li, and you have been yin." He roared viciously.
"Yin?" Li Yi was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Locust, why do you think so." ”
"We went into the forest at the same time, and you're fine, and I'm having these symptoms. I don't know where you did it, but isn't that telling? The surname is Li. The locust pointed at Li Yi and scolded.
"Good boy, I knew that you had such a scheming, but I didn't expect to be put on the table here."
The locusts were angry, but helpless. Now that he just said these words, his strength seemed to have been drained from his body, where was there any spare strength to fight with Li Yi? What's more, whether to live or die now seems to be in Li Yi's hands.
"What exactly do you want?" The locust glared fiercely at Li Yi. "Li Yi, Lao Tzu already knew that you had the heart to settle accounts with Lao Tzu, but now that it's in your hands, there is nothing to say, what you want, just say it."
"What do you want?" Li Yi glanced at the locust in a daze, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing special, locust, I have repeatedly emphasized that I hope to clear up the unfair judgment in this world, it's as simple as that." ”
"Is it still the same?" The locust sneered and shook his head.
However, what else did he want to say, but suddenly something rolled over from Li Yi's hand, and his whole body looked black.
"Betel nut?" The locust frowned and glanced at Li Yi.
"What does that mean?" He was a little apprehensive in his heart, and gently picked it up, pushing it lightly with his fingers, this betel nut looked like an ordinary Southeast Asian fruit, similar to a snack that can be seen everywhere.
"Locust, I told you a long time ago that if you can't trust it, you won't be able to get out of this wood, you won't be able to escape." Li Yi smiled and looked at the locust. "What did Song Yushu do just now, what do you think?"
The locust frowned.
"Then you don't need to ask, this kid is the least daring, when he was inside, this kid was the first to run in trouble, seeing that the situation was not right, the first to run away was also this kid." The locust replied without hesitation.
"So you mean, he just wanted to escape from the rainforest?" Li Yi asked.
"Of course." The locust glanced at Song Yushu, and his face was a little more angry.
"That's weird." Li Yi suddenly laughed. "This guy in your mouth, this kid, even this dewormer. I knew that when I was unconscious, I still had this thing in my hand. ”
Li Yi raised the thing in his hand, and the locust looked at it, and it was indeed a betel nut.
"This." The locust looked suspiciously at the betel nut in his hand and fell into deep thought. Who knew that Li Yi, who was standing not far in front of him, made an amazing move without care, he easily broke the betel nut skin, stuffed the flesh inside into his mouth, and chewed it dryly
"What is this?" The locust asked, frowning.
"I don't know, but this kid is poisoned, and he doesn't dare to eat it, maybe it's the poisonous betel nut he found, maybe it's the poisoned betel nut he found, I ate two or three along the way, but I feel refreshed, what do you think?"
Li Yi's eyes seemed to have magic power, and the bottom could not be seen in the depths.
"Believe it or not, it's your choice."
The locust swallowed his saliva, glanced at Li Yi again, and made up his mind. With one hand, he easily squeezed out the flesh of the betel nut with one hand, and looked at it carefully before hesitating to put it in his mouth.
The flesh of betel nut is not tender, on the contrary, it is rough and chewy. The locust only felt that the word "chewing wax" should be given to the betel nut, but after chewing for a while, the experience was different, and the fragrance of mint spread from the mouth to all parts of the body, and in the midst of this, there was a turbidity stream that flowed down the throat into the body.
Betel nut works wonders. After a while, the locust had regained his strength, and he did not expect that the betel nut trees that were abundant in this rainforest were the antidote to the poison of miasma.
"It's not all unreasonable, whether it's creatures living in the rainforest or plants, it should make sense that they can grow with this corpse gas."
The locust nodded yes, but always felt that something was wrong.
"Feed him one." The locust said with a frown, looking at Song Yushu lying on the ground. Li Yi gave Song Yushu a betel nut with a smile, and the two looked at the skinny guy for a while before he woke up.
"Ahem." Song Yushu coughed twice, quickly got up, his consciousness was still a little unclear, Li Yi gently pressed on Song Yushu's temples and the back of his neck, which made Song Yushu feel a lot more refreshed.
"You kid." As soon as the locust saw Song Yushu wake up, he couldn't wait to stretch out his huge palm and grab Song Yushu. "Since you know the antidote, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Don't worry." Li Yi hurriedly played a round. "Locust, he's only occasionally heard a few words when he's cleaning the police room."
"Looks like you kid knows about that, too?" The locust had a black face and threw a tantrum at Li Yi. "Hell trust or distrust, what kind of is this?"
"It's not certain whether this thing is useful or not, and besides, it may be poisonous. After all, it's just a matter of words. Li Yi shook his head.
"Poisonous?" This time, it was Song Yushu's turn and the locusts to exclaim together.
"Not necessarily." Li Yi's face was a little ugly. "But anyway, since it can be used for a while, you should get out of this place as soon as possible."
However, the locust's suspicions have not been dispelled. He glared at Song Yushu, a pair of tiger eyes were on fire, and he could see that Song Yushu was beating a drum in his heart.
"So, you kid just ran to find an antidote by himself, and planned to leave us here alone and run out alone, right?" The locust glared at Song Yushu and asked word by word.
Hearing this, Song Yushu was almost stunned and almost fainted, trembling and pale, not knowing how to answer.
"That's easy to explain." Li Yi smiled and approached Song Yushu, and said softly.
"Of course, it's because Yushu wants to test the poison and see if this betel nut has any effect, do you say? Jade Book. ”
In the face of the majesty of the locust, Song Yushu could only tremble, and in the face of Li Yi, Song Yushu only felt as if he didn't even have room to refute, he nodded, leaving a suspicious look on the locust, and the three of them fell silent again.
