Chapter 16: Losing ground
I was shocked to see the giant hyena pounce on the skinny monkey up the tree, and I immediately had a new understanding of the giant hyena in front of me. I've been attacked by giant hyenas before, but in my mind's eye, I just think of this animal as a dog. Now it seems that I have thought of the giant hyena as simple, its attack power is not inferior to that of the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, and even its performance at the moment is more ferocious than that of tigers, leopards and jackals.
The giant hyena's attack was lightning fast, and I was close enough, but I couldn't see how it pounced. It was completely unexpected, and if it was on flat ground, I could understand how fast it moved, but it was in a tree, and the giant hyena was like flying, not afraid of the risk of falling.
In the blink of an eye, it had already pounced on the thin monkey's back, but fortunately, the thin monkey had a backpack on his back to block it, and the giant hyena's paws failed to catch the thin monkey and slid down the backpack on the thin monkey's back.
At this time, the skinny monkey's feet were already hanging in the air, and he relied on the strength of his hands to grasp the branches above. I thought that the giant hyena would definitely fall if it didn't catch the skinny monkey, but I would have thought that the giant hyena not only did not fall, but also bit the skinny monkey's buttocks.
It's hard to tell from my perspective whether it's biting on the skinny monkey's ass or pants, but one thing is for sure, the giant hyena hangs underneath the skinny monkey.
Seeing this, I quickly untied the rope tied to the tree and tried to go over and drag the thin monkey, but before the rope was completely untied, the thin monkey screamed miserably, and then fell down with the giant hyena.
The moment the thin monkey fell, the giant hyenas in the distance, who had been watching, all rushed towards this side collectively as if they were crazy.
When I saw all the giant hyenas running this way, my head buzzed, and I immediately realized that it was over, and the skinny monkey must be finished.
Just when I was stunned, a gunshot rang out like thunder.
I looked up and saw that it was the old prostitute's gun, and it was not the giant hyena in the distance, but the one that fell with the skinny monkey. When I saw the thin monkey lying on the ground again, there was blood on his pants, and I didn't know if it was his blood or the giant hyena's.
I untied the rope from the tree and threw it down, shouting at the skinny monkey, "Hold on to the rope and I'll pull you up."
I thought that the thin monkey would immediately grab the rope when he heard my shout, but I didn't expect him to move, as if he hadn't heard what I said.
This Nima really made me a little confused, if he didn't hold on to the rope, it meant waiting to die. Once those giant hyenas rush over, don't say that they bite him to death, they may eat him.
"Skinny monkey, hurry up and grab the rope." I shouted again, but the skinny monkey still didn't respond.
At this time, although I was anxious, I was more at a loss, after all, I did everything that should be done, and if the thin monkey didn't grab the rope, then I couldn't help it.
To be honest, I don't want to watch him die, but I really can't help it.
Just when I thought that the thin monkey would definitely die, a figure suddenly appeared next to the thin monkey, it was Wang Jingang. Just now, my attention had been focused on the thin monkey, so I didn't see when Wang Jingang came down from the tree.
Wang Jingang ran over and picked up the thin monkey directly, then grabbed the rope I was still down with one hand, wrapped it around my wrist twice quickly, and then shouted to me, "Drag."
I quickly pulled the rope upwards, but after a few pulls, I felt that it would not work, the weight of the two of them was too great to pull two people up at the same time on the tree.
Wang Jingang's reaction was indeed fast enough, and when he saw that I didn't move much after pulling twice, he immediately shouted at me: "Wait and pull again." Then he untied the rope around his wrist and tied it around the waist of the skinny monkey.
Although Wang Jingang was already fast in tying the rope, it was still slower than the giant hyena that was running towards here. As soon as he tied the rope around the waist of the thin monkey, he had just shouted halfway through a pull, and several giant hyenas had already arrived.
The giant hyena that ran first was shot in the head by the old prostitute, but the second giant hyena was not afraid of the gunfire and directly threw Wang Jingang to the ground. Seeing this, I couldn't care about looking at Wang Jingang anymore, and hurriedly pulled the rope upward. It was indeed much easier to pull the thin monkey alone, and it didn't take a few strokes to pull the thin monkey up.
When I was pulling the skinny monkey upward, the old prostitute fired a few more shots. By the time I dragged the skinny monkey up, he had already passed out, and the giant hyena had bitten several bloody holes under his buttocks and on his thighs, and he was still bleeding out.
I didn't know if the monkey had been knocked unconscious or had fainted because of blood loss, so I put the monkey on a tree branch with his butt up, then dragged his backpack off and hung it on the tree, and then took off my own coat and pressed it against his bleeding wound, hoping to help him stop the bleeding. At this moment, I can't care about rummaging through the medical bag anymore, after all, Wang Jingang is still below.
While pressing the thin monkey's wound, I looked down at Wang Jingang's condition. I thought that Wang Jingang would be very miserable and passive at this moment, but I didn't expect that he was not on the ground, and I didn't see Wang Jingang on the ground except for the corpses of a few giant hyenas.
I looked around and saw that he was climbing up a tree behind me with a blood-stained dagger in his mouth.
Wang Jingang climbed to the branch next to me, and I saw that he was not lightly injured, his left arm was bitten by a giant hyena, his clothes were covered with blood, and there were many wounds on his body that were scratched by the claws of the giant hyena.
"How is he?" Wang Jingang didn't pay attention to his wounds when he came up, but asked me how the thin monkey was.
"I haven't looked closely, if I haven't hurt my artery, it shouldn't be a big deal." I glanced at Wang Jingang and asked, "How are you?" Do you need to help you bandage it? ”
"I'm fine, it's nothing."
I pressed the thin monkey's wound for a while, then slowly picked up my coat and looked at the wound carefully, and it seemed that it had not hurt the major arteries, and the bleeding had stopped.
"Xiao Qi, see if you can reach the rope." The old prostitute shouted from another tree, pointing to the branch above my head.
I looked up and followed his finger, and there was a rope on a dry branch above, and a bottle of mineral water was tied to the end of the rope, and I didn't have to think much to know that it was thrown by the old prostitute from the tree opposite. But I didn't understand what the old prostitute meant, why he threw a bottle of water.
"What? I have water here. After saying that, I pointed to the backpack hanging from the tree, and then I wanted to clean the wound of the skinny monkey with disinfectant.
"My god, I know you have water, I'm not asking you to get water, I'm going to get a rope, I'm going to go and have a look."
After listening to the old prostitute's words, I realized that I was wrong, and he didn't give us water, but wanted to come from the tree through a rope.
"You deal with the skinny monkey's wounds, and I'll go get the rope." After Wang Jingang finished speaking, he climbed to the dry branch above.
"Be careful, the branches on it don't know how many years they've been dry, it's enough to reach the rope, don't force it if you can't reach it." After I finished instructing, Wang Jingang agreed, and then climbed towards it.
Although the rope thrown by the old prostitute is only three or four meters high from us, the structure of the trees on it has died, and all of them are dry branches, and it is still unknown whether the rope can be obtained.
I didn't pay attention to Wang Jingang's enough rope anymore, I think he should have this measure, he is not a simple-minded person, he knows that he can't get the rope and won't take the risk of taking it. I pulled out the kit from my backpack and took out disinfectant and gauze to help the skinny monkey clean the wound on his buttocks. Considering that the skinny monkey was still unconscious, I first secured him with a rope to the branch before helping him wash his wounds with disinfectant water.
I hadn't finished cleaning the wound of the thin monkey before Wang Jingang had reached the rope on it. He pulled down the rope and tied it to the branch where I was standing, and then shouted two words to the old prostitute, who had already fixed the rope on his side, and after hearing Wang Jingang's shout, he came along the rope. Of course, this process is not simple, but I did not look at it, and I have been concentrating on cleaning the wound of the skinny monkey.
When the old prostitute came, she made an insurance with a rope, tied one end to the thick branch above, and the other end to herself, and then swayed from side to side like a swing. His method was good, at least I didn't have to avoid him left and right when he wanted to move, and he could see the skinny monkey's injuries in the air.
"My god, did you bite so deep that it hurt the major arteries?" The old prostitute hung in mid-air and looked at the thin monkey's wound and asked me.
"I didn't hurt the major arteries, but the fall should not be light, and I haven't woken up yet." I replied.
"What is it called, do you know?"
"What?" Actually, I didn't understand what the old prostitute was talking about, so I just asked in passing.
"This is called pretending to be forced but being fucked, you see that he was scared just now, and he was still sitting on a tree and beating giant hyenas. Well, I don't think he'll want to sit anymore for a month or two. ”
What the old prostitute said makes sense, judging from the current injury on the thin monkey's buttocks, it will definitely not heal in a month or two.
"Can a giant hyena bite get rabies?" Wang Jingang sat on the branch of a tree and cleaned the wound on his arm and asked the old prostitute.
"Probably not, this kind of thing is different from domestic dogs, giant hyenas should not be dogs, they should be considered beasts."
I listened to the old prostitute's answer and was not very sure, so I said: "You say it on time, don't do it or not, this is not a trivial matter, we don't have a medicine to prevent rabies."
"Don't worry, it's so easy to get rabies, don't bother yourself." After speaking, the old prostitute swung herself to Wang Jingang's side and said, "I'll help you bandage your wounds."
"No, I'll do it myself." Wang Jingang pointed to the giant hyenas in the distance and asked the old prostitute: "There are so many giant hyenas, what should we do next?"
"What can I do, be a monkey."
"Being a monkey?" Wang Jingang didn't understand what the old prostitute meant, and asked suspiciously, "Are giant hyenas afraid of monkeys?"
"I'm afraid of a monkey, I mean we're monkeys in the trees." The old prostitute said.
