Chapter 22: Pus
I saw that he had a layer of sweat on his forehead, his face was pale, and he obviously couldn't hold it anymore, so I couldn't help but worry and asked, "Where are you uncomfortable?" ”
He bit his lip tightly, stared at the ground with blank eyes, and said timidly: "My back hurts so much, it hurts so much that I don't have the strength to stand up." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I lifted him up, lifted his dirty clothes, and gasped. A large bag of three or four centimeters was swollen on his dark back, and the skin around him was red and purple, and there were even some signs of ulceration.
I put down my clothes in a panic, grabbed him and shouted, "What's going on, did you get bitten by a rattlesnake?" ”
Katsuko shook his head weakly and said, "If you want to bite, you should bite my leg first, how can a snake jump on a person's back...... When you were digging in the sand pit, I was still in a state where the souls of those snakes had flown away, and when I was lying on the ground, I suddenly felt a great pain in my back, and something seemed to be swollen. ”
I was so surprised that I asked him to turn around and look at his back again, and saw that the big red bag looked like it was about to drip blood, and the middle part rose upward, looking hard and like a huge pimple.
I tried to touch its surface lightly, and Katsuko screamed, gasped, and quickly jumped away, panting like a cow frowning and complaining to me, "What are you doing!" It almost didn't make me faint! ”
I didn't expect to be so sensitive, and I was surprised and worried: "I just touched it lightly, how can it hurt so much?" Why don't I pick something out of it? ”
Katsuko shrank his neck in horror, hid away from me, his face changed drastically, and he shouted repeatedly: "No, no, no, it hurts more, absolutely not!" ”
Zhang Siyuan walked over and said, "Wow, Zhang Xuan, you are really awesome, you can make him stand up in just a few words, and he is not a little higher than Uncle Lu's rank." ”
Katsuko sat down with a dejected ass, hunched back and a miserable expression. I pointed to his back and said to Zhang Siyuan: "There is a very big bag on his back, I press him lightly and he hurts to death, do you think you want to take a needle to pick up the pus?" ”
He frowned and said, "It seems that he is not pretending to be sick, but how could a big bag suddenly appear on his back?" Oh no, he can't have been bitten by a rattlesnake, right? ”
I shook my head, walked over and grabbed Katsuko, who had been shrinking down, lifted my clothes and said, "It doesn't look like a rattlesnake bite, it looks like it's poisoned or infected with something." ”
Zhang Siyuan's face changed, he gasped, smacked his lips again and again, his eyes stared at his wound without blinking, and said, "What strange things have you been in contact with?" ”
Katsuko was panicked and scared, and her voice trembled: "No, ......"
Zhang Siyuan changed his hippie smiling face in the past, and his face was very solemn. He nodded heavily: "You wait here, I'll go get you medicine." ”
Seeing that his face was very different from usual, I followed him over, glanced at Katsuko, who was sitting in place, and whispered, "What's the matter with his injury?" ”
Zhang Siyuan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I used to read a diary written by an explorer, he said that there is a kind of bacteria in the desert, people infected with this bacterium will become sluggish, lazy to move, and a huge bag will grow out of the infected area, this bag must not be squeezed out, after squeezing out, pus and blood containing a large number of bacteria will infect healthy skin." ”
I disagreed, "Who wrote the notes you read?" Maybe it's made up by those people on the Internet, and as long as the skin is not broken, it won't be infected. ”
He shook his head violently and said resolutely: "No, it's definitely not made up, this has a real case." This is...... Someone I know told me. ”
Curious, I looked at his pursed lips and asked, "Do you know explorers?" ”
Zhang Siyuan's body suddenly trembled slightly, shook his head and said resolutely: "I don't know, I just said nonsense." Do you still have Yunnan Baiyao there? ”
I nodded, feeling a little strange in my heart, but I didn't think much about it, and walked back quickly to briefly talk to Uncle Lu about the situation of Katsuko. Zhang Siyuan stood aside and rummaged in his bag for medicine, and when he heard my proposal to prick it with a needle, he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "See for yourself if there is a wound on your hand, what if you get infected?" ”
I lowered my head and saw that there were really small cuts and countless blood marks on my hands. While wondering why I didn't feel pain, I was slightly scared and said, "I really have a wound on my hand that I don't know when...... Which of you has disposable gloves to borrow for me? ”
Uncle Lu and Hu San both shook their heads, and Hu San said: "This thing is not written on the list of items, or don't 'torture' him, it feels quite painful." ”
I hurriedly said: "This bag is very torturous, don't you see that Katsuko's face is white?" Bloodletting might be a little better. ”
Zhang Siyuan looked at his hand and sighed: "Who hasn't had injuries on their hands all the way?" I'm powerless. ”
I was so worried that I looked back to look at Katsuko, but suddenly I found that there was no one around the camel. I looked around, but I still couldn't see Katsuko, so I shouted, "Katsuko, where have you gone?" ”
They shouted several times, but no one answered. Zhang Siyuan and I looked at each other strangely, and I walked over and threatened in a joking tone: "If you don't come out again, I'll pinch the big bag on your back." ”
The desert was still silent, not even the sound of people breathing. Confused, I quickly circled the camel's back, and there was no one in front of me, not even the slightest sign of him having stopped.
I was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly raised my head to look around, but there was no one in the vast yellow sand. On the ground at my feet there were still traces of the human figure he had laid, as if he had been swallowed by the sand. It was as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from the top of my head, pouring my heart to the top, and I looked into the distance in disbelief and exclaimed, "Have you seen Katsuko? ”
Wang Zhen and Wang Linshuo, who were bragging, looked at me in unison, their eyes full of confusion. Wang Zhen asked, "Isn't he lying anywhere?" ”
I was angry, and I said in my heart that you have time to gather and talk nonsense, but you don't know how to look at the sick number, and said angrily: "You can come and see, and you'll know." ”
Wang Zhen walked over quickly, walked around the back of the camel, and blurted out a dirty word. He turned his eyes like brass bells, opened his mouth and pointed to the ground and asked, "Wasn't he still lying here just now, people?" ”
I snorted coldly: "Where do I know! As soon as you turn your head, it's gone, and you don't know what to look at, just chat. ”
Wang Linshuo was quite surprised, took out the telescope from his bag and looked around, his brows twisted into a pimple: "Why can't I see him with a telescope?" He's not hiding somewhere, is he? ”
Zhang Siyuan said worriedly: "It is also possible that he was captured by a monster." ”
I subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at me vigilantly, and said, "No, how could a monster come out so quietly?" There's no way Katsuko won't struggle and scream when he's taken away. ”
Uncle Lu stepped on the yellow sand underground: "It's all solid, where can this kid go?" ”
Just when everyone was confused and frightened, and reached a stalemate, they suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the sand pit. I thought to myself that he must have run somewhere, and walked quickly angrily and a little proudly, but was blocked by a huge snake's head.
The snake's mouth opened at an astonishing angle, its bloodstained fangs were exposed, and a pair of chilling black eyes stared at me coldly, and I looked at its bloody neck, even though I knew it was dead, I still subconsciously wanted to retreat.
Wang Linshuo hurried over, let out a low snort, and said in surprise: "Hasn't the head of the snake been in the sand pit all the time, when did it run up?" ”
The hairs on my arms stood on end, and I tried to look at the bunker, but my view was blocked by the serpent's head, and I couldn't see anything. I walked away from it with trepidation, craned my neck to look in, and my legs went limp in shock, and I almost fell to the ground.
I gasped for breath, didn't dare to look closely, turned my head and ran, and cried out in panic, "How can there be a snake head in the bunker that looks exactly like it!" ”
Wang Zhen scolded a foul word, raised his eyebrows in disbelief, glared at me, and said, "You said there are two identical snake heads here?" How can it be! ”
