Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 29: Dawn
Xiao Qian's movements are much more skilled than Yiyi's, and it is obvious that this technique has been cultivated under the condition of taking care of the wounded for a long time.
The reason is very simple, the second uncle handed over Xiaoqian to Sister Ning, and for Sister Ning's team that licks blood at the tip of the knife all day long, it is naturally inevitable that there will be frequent wounded. And Xiaoqian's skills are naturally practiced.
Her movements were gentle, even more gentle than when Yiyi had drugged me. Originally, I was reluctant to use the disinfection method of wiping the wound with alcohol, but under Xiaoqian's gentle movements, my heart was overcome.
I don't know what Xiaoqian's situation was like when she treated other people's wounds, but I could clearly feel that she should be deliberately careful, afraid that her movements would be too big and cause me discomfort.
In between his medications, I was going to turn my head to see what the wound that was causing my pain looked like.
I was in my current position to see the wound, and I could only see it from under the armpit of the arm I was holding onto.
As soon as I looked down and was about to look, I heard Yiyi say sternly:
"Su Mo, don't look..."
But by the time she told me not to look, I had caught a glimpse of my wound.
At that moment, I almost threw up!
The outside of my buttocks, near my waist and abdomen, had begun to fester, and the flesh around me had changed color. Although many places began to scab, after the activities just now, some of the scabs broke back up, and the cause of my pain was the places where these scabs broke apart.
I know the reason why Yiyi didn't want me to see it, people don't have any psychological burden until they see their injuries.
But when you see the severity of the wound, it generates a message to your brain that will make your pain feel worse immediately. Sure enough, at the same time as I caught a glimpse of the wound, my buttocks suddenly began to hurt again under Xiaoqian's gentle movements, when I didn't feel much anymore.
"Look, you're just disobedient and let you be watched..."
Yiyi teased.
"Patience... Bear with me for a while... It's almost there.."
Seeing my reaction, Xiao Qian's movements became more gentle, and at the same time comforted me.
Thinking of the nausea of my wound and hearing Xiaoqian's gentle tone, I began to be grateful to her.
In the face of such a wound, she didn't show any disgust at all, and still maintained a steady movement, which really touched me.
Finally, with the joint efforts of Yiyi and Xiaoqian, my wound was treated.
At this time, the moon in the sky has almost faded into night, and the morning star has become brighter. Although the white of the fish belly has not yet appeared, it is not far off.
Sister Ning was still sitting in the middle of the fat man and scorpion tent, deaf to the snoring of the two of them.
Beneath my ass was the soft cushion that I had pulled out of the tent. I leaned on a rock more than half a person high, watching Yiyi help Xiaoqian pack up the medicine box.
For Xiaoqian's clan, this is the first time I have heard of it. In the past, I have read about ethnic groups other than the fifty-six ethnic groups, but those ethnic groups are not classified as a separate ethnic group because there are few people in the whole ethnic group.
And a group like Xiaoqian can have a complete scale as she described, and there is also a set of customs that have been handed down. Whether or not the custom is weird, it can fully show that such a people do not want to reveal their mysteries to the world.
I don't know why. I think there must be some secrets in their community that are difficult for the world to accept.
Before Xiaoqian was rescued by her second uncle, she didn't remember what her original name was.
And she couldn't remember anything about the exact location of their group, not even about her parents, and many things in the group.
It's as if that childhood time has been erased by someone casting a spell.
I think that about the location of Xiaoqian's group, probably only the second uncle who rescued Xiaoqian knows. As for why he went to explore the location of that ethnic group in the first place, entered the mysterious and treacherous ancient tomb, and what else happened in that ancient tomb after rescuing Xiao Qian.
The answer to all this will only be revealed after meeting the second uncle.
"No... It doesn't hurt, does it? ”
When I recalled Xiao Qian's description just now, Xiao Qian's thin mosquito voice sounded in my ears.
I shook my head, grateful.
Turning my head to look at Yiyi, who was sitting in front of us, I saw the joy of the rest of my life in her eyes.
"Su Mo, I really thought that the two of us would die together in that closed space, it's okay..."
Yiyi said playfully while eating my leftover dumplings. Out of the corner of her eye, I could see tears falling.
Her appearance is a little distressing, after this life and death test, the relationship between me and Yiyi has become a little delicate.
"I... No.. Let you die. ”
When I wiped away the tears from the corners of Yiyi's eyes, I heard Xiaoqian's voice. Her voice was so small that it took me to listen closely, but it just so happened that my sitting position allowed me to catch what she was saying.
At this moment, Xiaoqian has recovered to the state that seems to have no soul, looking at the stone under her in a daze, not looking at me and Yiyi, I don't know what I am thinking.
Yiyi saw that Xiaoqian was a little distracted, and gently pulled Xiaoqian's small arm.
and smoothed her somewhat frizzy hair, but Xiaoqian didn't look at Yiyi, but looked up at my position.
It was a look that I will never forget for the rest of my life, with determination and fearlessness in my eyes......
For the scene of gnawing at the corpse after Xiaoqian woke up, as well as her amnesia. It can be concluded that at that time, she must have fallen into a hallucination.
Because this kind of place is full of illusions, I have experienced it in my two "descent to the ground". I don't know if it's my bad luck or if I'm related to this kind of "mechanism".
"Sister Ning! He's awake! ”
The person who spoke was Zhang Xiuxiu, who carried me out of the passage.
I hadn't seen him before, but I found out when I heard his voice again. It turned out that he had been keeping an eye on the survivors of the expedition of the company "Europa".
Since the opening of the tent was just opposite to my line of sight, I didn't see Zhang Xiuxiu all around the tent except for the four people who were on guard with loaded guns.
Zhang Xiuxiu's voice was very loud, so loud that even the fat man's snoring was silent.
What's even more amazing is that after the fat man's snoring stopped sounding, the scorpion's snoring also stopped.
After a while, the two of them woke up at the same time as if they had agreed!
After Zhang Xiuxiu finished saying that the man woke up, only a few people from the periphery of our camp were left behind, still guarding the surrounding situation above their posts.
The rest of the people all gathered around the tightly controlled tent, including me Yiyi and Xiaoqian.
Because I was injured, I was supported by Yiyi and Xiaoqian left and right, and slowly approached the crowd.
At this time, the sky has already appeared white, the morning star has receded, and the blue of the sky has become more and more obvious.
All around us, there are advanced discovery equipment, and although the light bulbs are not very bright, they are enough to illuminate the darkness. Moreover, the dawn came as promised, so that the surrounding eyes could distinguish the general outline even if there was no lighting.
"What's going on? Xiao Su? ”
The fat man dragged his body, which had lost a full circle but was still very fat, and shook it in front of me, holding a large bag of dumplings that he didn't know where to go. While eating with relish, he asked me.
Looking at the fat man intact, I somewhat understood why he was treated on a stretcher in the passage in the first place.
At first, I thought it was because he was injured, but now I see that he has no scars on his body except for his successful weight loss.
The only thing that can be explained is that because of his huge fat physique, no one intended to carry him out of the passage like he carried me and Yiyi.
The scorpion is different, the scorpion is a member of Sister Ning's team, and he is the deputy except for Sister Ning, and everyone respects him very much. It is not surprising that there is a stretcher treatment.
This can be seen from the scorpion's approach, everyone's attitude towards him.
"Scorpion, you're awake!"
"It's okay, Scorpion!"
......
None of the team members present were left behind in such questioning. Obviously, the scorpion has no low status in their hearts.
In the team, except for Xiao Qian, who didn't take the initiative to greet him, only Sister Ning was left.
With his kind smile, the scorpion responded to the crowd who greeted him one by one.
And when he passed in front of the fat man, he pulled the fat man's shoulders forcefully, and the fat man did the same thing. The two of them approached the tent side by side, and judging from their movements, they must have experienced many life and death tests after entering the wall together.
Both of them are extremely affectionate people, and it is very normal to have this attitude of being closer than brothers.
When the scorpion and the fat man walked up to me together, the fat man put his arm around my shoulder.
At that moment, the three of us stood side by side, and a wave of pride suddenly arose in my heart!
It seems that with the two of them, I will not be afraid of all the difficulties in the world.
"You.. You tap... He.. There is a wound! ”
When the fat man put his arm around my shoulder, Xiao Qian whispered behind the fat man.
"Senior brother, Su Mo has injuries on his body, don't work so hard!"
Yiyi saw the fat man working so hard and spoke.
When the fat man heard this, he patted me lightly on the shoulder and looked at me with inquiring eyes.
I shook my head at him, signaling that my injuries were fine.
Only then did the fat man put his mind at ease and began to say to Yiyi in a mocking tone:
"I said junior sister, you are too heavy and light on senior brother, why don't you care about your senior brother and my injury! Bad luck kid! ”
At the same time, he also looked at Xiao Qian, who was watching my injuries behind me.
Because Xiaoqian's figure is relatively thin, the fat man can only look down at her.
While watching, he sniffled.
"What's wrong, fatty?"
Seeing his strange behavior, I asked.
"How can you have a dead breath in you!"
The fat man still kept sniffling and asked Xiao Qian.
