Chapter XXII
Uncle Lin hurriedly strode away and caught up with the crowd.
Soon after, the group returned to the campsite together.
Several hunters from the same village carried the unconscious Pang Yuan to a slow stop, and carefully placed him on the ground of the stone platform.
Li Xing and Huzi hurriedly went to a nearby stream to fetch a basin of water, put a cotton cloth in the water to wet it, wiped the blood stains on Pang Yuan's face and exposed skin for Pang Yuan on the ground, and lifted his trouser leg to carefully wash the deep wound on his leg.
Uncle Lin also asked people to find and pick an herb from the nearby woods, mash it and apply it to the wound, and wrap the wound on the leg with a strip of cloth.
As for Pang Yuan's chest injury, it was even more serious, two blood holes were pierced in his chest by the sharp fangs of the wild boar, and the side chest position could even be seen to collapse significantly, obviously with a few broken ribs.
Uncle Lin and the others are a little difficult to deal with, and this kind of serious injury is not easy to deal with in this wilderness, and no one will do this, so they can only go back to the village and find someone to take a look.
There was no way, first clean the two blood holes that were not very deep and apply the medicine, and then everyone could only temporarily put some short sticks side by side, and then tie them to Pang Yuan's chest with a rope to fix the position of the wound, so as not to hurt the chest again and make the injury worse.
The team discussed what to do next.
In the eyes of everyone, now Pang Yuan is so seriously injured that his life is in danger, and he must be sent back to the village for treatment as soon as possible, and this time the giant wild boar raid has caused many hunters in the team to be injured a little, and their combat strength has been damaged a lot.
In this way, it is certain that this collective hunt will not be able to continue, and the hunters have collectively decided to pack up their things and return immediately, without further delay.
After counting the harvest, although the team's collective hunt this time was relatively short compared to the past, the prey harvested was not bad at all, and even much more.
Not to mention the large pile of elk, the giant wild boar killed by Pang Yuan today weighed hundreds of catties, and the harvest of this hunt can be described as extremely rich.
However, this kind of good thing in the past has made it a little difficult for the hunters now, and now there are wounded people in the team to take care of, so it is not realistic to bring so many prey back to the village in its entirety, and it must be handled well and "streamlined" first.
Then the group got busy, carrying the prey to the vicinity of the creek, where they disemboweled a large pile of elk and a huge boar.
The internal organs were directly discarded and thrown aside, and the hunters basically put away the blood of the beasts, so that the weight of the prey would be much lighter.
As for the heads and hooves of the prey, which were not much usable, they were cut off one by one, but the hunters of the huge boar's head did not move, after all, there was a lot of meat on it.
After this was done, the hunters carefully rinsed the incision position of the prey and the blood on their own bodies, removing the original strong smell of blood, so as not to attract wild beasts on the way back.
In this way, I saw that the grass at this time was flowing with blood, and the original green grass was soaked all over, and even the clear stream flowing next to it was dyed a lot red, which made people feel distressed.
After all the prey was processed, the group packed up, Huzi carried Pang Yuan, who was still unconscious, while the other hunters took their weapons and carried their prey, and the group set off in the direction of the village when they came.
"Hmm..."
On the way, a bump woke up Pang Yuan in a coma, Pang Yuan slowly opened his tired eyes, his whole body was weak, and he felt that there was no place in his body that was not painful, especially in his chest, his mouth and throat were also very dry, and his lips were white and a little chapped.
Pang Yuan found himself on Huzi's back, and he asked softly in a hoarse voice:
"Huzi..."
Tong Hu, who was hurrying away, heard the call of his companions, turned his head in surprise and shouted:
"A-Yuan, you're finally awake?!I'm scared to death, how do you feel?!"
"I... Where is this?"
"It's still in the big forest, we're back, we're on our way back to the village, don't worry, the team will be in the village soon." Ah Yuan, you can't have anything to do, Grandpa Pang and they are still waiting for us. Hold on a little longer..."
Huzi was still in a hurry, panting and slowly answering him.
Listening to Huzi's words, Pang Yuan slowly relaxed and lay quietly on his back, but the thirst in his mouth became stronger.
"Water... water..."
With his chapped lips slightly open, Pang Yuan groaned weakly, and when the fat man of Orion King who was walking next to him heard it, he quickly put down the prey he was carrying, untied the kettle he was carrying, walked over, opened the spout of the pot and came to Pang Yuan's mouth, and slowly poured some into his mouth.
Pang Yuan opened his mouth wide with difficulty, and drank the clear spring water greedily, the gentle water gradually moistened the pale lips that had already dried up, and the young man seemed to feel slightly better.
"Pang Yuan, I'll be in the village soon, hold on a little longer. You're seriously injured right now, don't think about it, just rest and sleep for a while. ”
Looking at the tired Tong Hu, Wang Fatzi took the kettle and drank a few sips of water to the Huzi who was carrying Pang Yuan on his back, looking at the weak Pang Yuan, Wang Fatzi gently patted Pang Yuan's shoulder with his stomach and let him rest.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang..."
Pang Yuan only responded weakly, and then felt a thick tiredness hit him, his eyelids became extremely heavy, and then he closed his eyes, fell into a deep sleep, and lost consciousness again.
The fat man just nodded as he watched him fall asleep, then turned around and picked up the prey on the ground again and caught up with the team.
Carrying the wounded and the extremely heavy and abundant prey, and being in the boundless forest, the team had to walk more slowly, and had to rest a little as they walked a long distance.
The journey back was relatively quiet, and there were no accidents or troubles, which relieved the hunters, and the group could concentrate on the journey, but the vigilance on the way did not diminish in the slightest.
The journey was intermittent, and after several hours of walking with a large pile of prey, they came out of the deep forest and finally came to a short distance from the village.
The hunters, who were already out of breath and eager to pierce it, finally saw that the gate of the village was close in front of them, and their hearts were overjoyed and their spirits were lifted.
Everyone's originally tired bodies seemed to have a lot of strength at this time, and even their steps were much faster, and at the same time, they shouted loudly to some people at the entrance of the village.
Because there are usually cases where teams return early, there are often many people waiting at the village gate.
Hearing the shouts and seeing the tired group of people in front of them, the villagers hurriedly greeted them to help.
A large pile of elk and terrifying giant wild boars, so that the villagers who came couldn't help but exclaim, and saw the seriously injured unconscious Pang Yuan and other injured hunters, the villagers hurriedly stepped forward to help, several people carried the boy into the village together, and at the same time quickly sent someone to inform the old man Pang and the village chief.
As for the small sensation and onlookers caused by the group after entering the village, not to mention for the time being, the sleeping Pang Yuan also did not know at all.
