Chapter 19: Worms in the Flesh
The old bustard also noticed the bloody hole in my leg, was shocked, and hurriedly asked me, "Xu Xuan, what's wrong?" ”
I gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain, and replied with difficulty, "There's a yellow worm, he, fucking seems to have gotten into my calf." Before I could finish my sentence, something in my calf was violently drilling, like countless needles blooming in me, and a sharp pain that could not be described spread in both the tendons and muscles. I gritted my teeth and gasped, almost falling off the torch in my hand.
At this time, the attack of the yellow worms was still not weakened, and they were still scurrying towards the two of us, and I didn't even have the strength to hold the torch tightly, and I squatted on one knee, and my calves trembled for a while. The bustard probably knew that things were wrong, but he couldn't check my injuries right now, there were yellow bugs on all sides, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only keep waving the torch in his hand to drive away the bugs.
Although there are more and more scorched insect corpses that fall to the ground, we feel that the number of "army" outside still has not diminished at all, just like the countless monkeys blown out of the hair on the monkey monkey's body, it is still densely packed, fluttering its wings and scurrying rapidly.
The journey was exhausted, coupled with the swarm of bees later, the bustard is now exhausted, and the speed of driving away the insects is obviously a lot sluggish, he is also a person who understands, and naturally knows that he will definitely go to my footsteps if this continues, and when the two people are injured, there is no possibility of survival!
The old bustard glanced at the boiler burning with a raging fire beside him, and his eyes rolled, as if he had some plan. Immediately after that, he turned his head to look at me and said anxiously, "Quick! Take the outside off! Stretched out on the ground"
I'm a little stupid to be yelled at like that. My coat was brought to me by my grandmother when she went to the city, a leather jacket, which was worth a few dollars, which was a luxury for me growing up in a poor rural area at that time. But after all, it was an urgent moment, and I didn't think about anything, and it was not certain whether I would die or live at that time. So I immediately relieved myself, hurriedly took off my coat despite the pain in my legs, and lay flat on the ground.
While continuing to use the torch in his hand to drive away those yellow bugs, the old bustard grabbed the bronze shovel in his hand, and raised his hand to shovel directly into the opening on the boiler where the fire was burning! Then he quickly pulled it back, and saw that the shovel head was covered with pieces of scarlet coal, and the yellow flame was wrapped in a thick red color, splashing stars that dragged the thin flames like ears of wheat. Then he slipped the charcoal from the shovel and threw it on my coat.
I was stunned again, and I didn't know what the bustard was doing with this inexplicable move. Then I saw him lean down quickly, quickly pinch the two corners of his coat with his hands, pull it, and wrap the charcoal fire inside like a sack.
At this time, the charcoal fire in the coat was still burning vigorously, and the fire had already burned the clothes along the fabric, and the layer of leather covering the outside was burned with a pungent smell.
The bustard threw away the torch in his hand, grabbed the burning coat with both hands, and danced violently above his head, pretending to be a burning arc in mid-air, and at the same time, I felt a burning sensation coming over me, which seemed to ignite the air around me.
This big movement immediately frightened the group of yellow insects, and a large number of insects were also burned into char by the flame point, like the dates that fell from the jujube tree in the village, and they fell to the ground one by one.
"your eggs with your mothers of seven-star ladybugs! Aren't you guys pretty awesome? keep rushing! Come on! "The bustard was so coaxing at this time, spitting foul words in his mouth, dancing blindly with the burning clothes in his hands, and almost burning my hair several times.
But Feng Shui did not turn to the bustards, the number of yellow insects was only a little less, and it did not make them retreat at all, but the number of attacks was less, and the insects continued to pour towards the two of us.
The bustard knew that this could not be delayed for long, so he kept his eyes around as he chased away the insects, trying to spot where to hide. Finally, he set his sights on the storage room in the far corner.
Although the storage room is a storage room, there is nothing in it, first, to prevent the fire caused by things such as cloth and satin, and secondly, there is a window to ventilate and keep the air circulating.
The old bustard shouted at me, "Xu Xuan! Storage! Take a look at the storage room. ”
At this time, although the injury on my leg did not recur, as long as I moved a little, there would still be a sharp pain, but now, I have no other way out, I can only hold the wound and move forward. The bustard waved his flaming coat behind him, constantly driving away the yellow bugs.
It didn't take much effort for us to get to the storage room. At this time, the group of insects also pressed up, and I quickly opened the door of the storage room. With a creak, the door opened with ease, and a body was exposed in the locker, falling straight before my eyes, lying at my feet.
I looked down and saw a bloody face! Two or three foxglove bugs roamed around the face, burrowing in and out of the flesh. It was a corpse that had also been skinned.
"! There's also a corpse hidden! I'm afraid that the boilermaker gave this group of seven-star ladybugs a scourge when they were napping inside. The old bustard was also taken aback, but now he couldn't care about so much, and he didn't care about what the dead were as big as the sky, so he kicked the corpse away, pushed me directly in, and then turned his head towards the group of insects flying in the air, waved his hand, and threw the burning coat in his hand directly at them, and then turned around and entered the storage room, latched the door.
There was almost no gap in the door, and the yellow bugs outside couldn't get in, so as soon as the door closed, the two of us immediately relaxed for a while. The old bustard sat on the ground, pinched the sweat on his forehead, and scolded: "What the hell is there on this train?" Depend on! Doing something for Liu Da's crooked mouth almost put his life into it. ”
The bustard grumbled for a long time, until he saw that I was in too much pain to speak, and then hurried to check on my injuries. The bloody hole in my calf had started to drain pus, and the thumb-sized wound was inflamed because it wasn't treated immediately. We had some rudimentary gauze and anti-inflammatory herbs in our backpacks, but at this time the backpacks were still on our seats, and we had nothing on our bodies, so the bustard had to tear off the cloth on my sleeves and tie it into several circles to bandage my wounds.
At this time, the bustard noticed something unusual: there was a bulging bag on the wound on my calf, as if it had been bitten by a mosquito, but it was different from a mosquito bite, and it was hard to touch with my hand, like some hard metal stuck there. I looked at the bustard and knew it might be the yellow worm that had burrowed into my body!
"Holy shit! Xu Xuan, that seven-star ladybug won't make a home in your calves, will it? It's really disgusting to lay eggs in your flesh like Huang Po Niang (cockroaches)! The old bustard said.
After that, he tentatively touched the "bag" with his hand. This touch was terrible, I saw that the "bag" seemed to be frightened, and as soon as my fingers touched it, it quickly jumped up a short distance! Immediately, there was a sharp pain in the nerves of my calf!
"it, it's that seven-star ladybug, how did you get this thing out?" The old bustard quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and his face was full of surprise.
At this moment, I heard a samming sound outside the door, which I thought was the movement of the yellow bugs outside, but later realized that it was the sound of electricity on the train. After four or five seconds of ringing, a hoarse male voice suddenly came: "Passengers, please note that the train is about to arrive at Zhengzhou Station, please pack your luggage and get off one after another, thank you for taking this train." ”
When the bustard and I heard this, we shivered and broke out in a cold sweat. Aren't all the attendants on this train dead! How did this man's voice come from?
When I was still feeling a gloomy aura all over my body, the bustard suddenly shouted, put his hands on my shoulders and shouted, "Isn't this the voice of the spy?" ”
