Chapter 2: Injuries
The mud on the back of the wild dog splashed, and a piece of rope flew up from the mud and headed for the wild dog's hind legs!
The wild dog was alert, always paying attention to the movements around it, and before the rope was tightened under its legs, it was already strung forward, and the rope ring brushed the hind paws of the wild dog.
At this time, the second hemp rope in Chen Xiao's hand has been tightened, the middle of the hemp rope is buried in the soil, one end is tied to the opposite tree trunk, Chen Xiao has a circle around the branch, the rope head is tightly held in his hand, and the middle section of the hemp rope has broken through the soil when it is tightened, and the sharpened wooden arrow on it also points to the wild dog.
Because of the sudden change, the wild dog strung forward with too much force, and its body soared into the air, and when it found the ambush, it was no longer able to dodge, and two of the wooden arrows were obliquely inserted into its neck and left front leg, and the wound was to the bone!
The wild dog howled miserably, and the hooded head turned and rushed forward, and the wooden arrow pierced deeper, but the difference in strength between Chen Xiao and the wild dog was huge, and when the wild dog desperately broke free, the rope in Chen Xiao's hand could no longer be held, so he could only let go of his hand.
At this moment, Chen Xiao hurriedly grabbed the third rope next to him and pulled it hard!
In front of the wild dog's rushing body, a firewood knife suddenly broke out of the ground, the tip of the knife was obliquely upward, the wild dog could not have imagined that there was a third layer of ambush, and it was crazy in pain, and it actually hit the firewood knife straight again, and the firewood knife went straight into the wild dog's abdomen for more than half a foot!
The wild dog rolled on the ground with another wail, tossed for a long time, and finally gradually stopped moving.
Chen Xiao waited for a long time, and saw that the wild dog jumped down the tree without a sound, and glared at the dead dog fiercely: "Dare to grab land with the master, it's really tired!"
Chen Xiao began to pack up his tools and prepare to go home, he will be able to fish safely tomorrow, and he also beat such a big wild dog, he should be able to exchange a lot of rice noodles when he goes to Wang's house, Chen Xiao is secretly refreshed.
Just as he was about to pull out the wooden arrow and firewood knife and pack up the rope, the mutation started again! The wild dogs that had not moved before suddenly strung up! A big mouth went straight to Chen Xiao's throat and bit it!
The beast was not dead yet, and the cunning and cunning knew that it had been plotted by others, so it had reserved a little strength to lie down and pretend to be dead, and then attacked it when the people who attacked it approached.
Where would Chen Xiao have thought that this beast was so cunning, and when he was defenseless, he was about to suffer. In a hurry, he could only stretch out his left arm to resist slightly, and the wild dog grabbed Chen Xiao's left arm and shook his head wildly, wanting to throw him to the ground and make another fatal blow.
Chen Xiao's arm was in pain, and he was gasping for cold air in pain, but he was suffering from clenching his empty fists in his hands, and he was shaken by the wild dog so that he could not stand steadily, and it was difficult to pull out the wooden arrows and firewood knives inserted in the wild dogs.
Chen Xiao secretly thought, "My life is not guaranteed today! If my mother knows, I won't die of sadness!" He suddenly felt a hard object on his chest in his hurry, it turned out to be the black stone egg, he didn't think about it, reached out and took out the stone egg and smashed it towards the dog's head.
The wild dog was smashed and became even more manic, and this man and dog began a desperate struggle in the valley.
Chen Xiao didn't remember how many times he had been smashed, and the pain in his arm gradually became numb, and finally the wild dog gradually lost his strength because of his previous injuries, and finally fell to the ground and whimpered.
Chen Xiao sat on the ground tiredly, and it took a long time to stabilize his mind and look at his left arm, only to see that the skin on his forearm had been torn and the flesh was deep and the bones were visible, and there was nothing to stop the bleeding around, so he had to tear a piece of the corner of his clothes to tighten the wound and bandage it simply, he didn't care about the pain and tiredness, and hurriedly got up and ran to the cave, he didn't dare to let his mother see this appearance.
He was wounded and lost a lot of blood, stumbling along the way, and it was noon when he reached the cave.
Entering the cave, he searched around, but found nothing to use, the cloth that bandaged the wound had long been soaked with blood, and he had no choice but to simply bandage the wound again with the old cloth covering the bones.
After two years here, Chen Xiao is no longer as afraid of bones as he was then, and sometimes even cleans up the surrounding ground and old cloth. After all, my mother said that the dead are the greatest!
Chen Xiao was so tired that he leaned against the wall next to the bones and fell asleep.
The cave was calm, and his wound slowly oozed blood, and fell down drop by drop, and coincidentally it fell on the bone of his left hand of the white bone, but this corpse seemed to be hungry and thirsty for a long time, and there was not a single blood left.
Half an hour later, the bones slowly changed as if they had been sucked up with blood, a layer of faint red light lingered on it and gradually restrained, from the skull and foot bones to the white and reduced, replaced by ordinary gray-black, but the index finger of the left hand flowed a drop of milky white liquid slowly wriggling, gradually forming a white ball as dazzling as the emperor's orb, when the white ball was rounded, the index finger finally stopped dripping, and the whole skeleton had become as gray and ugly as ordinary bones.
The white ball was like a living thing, and after being silent for a long time, it flew into Chen Xiao's left arm as if it had found a home, burrowing into the old cloth and attaching it to the wound.
Chen Xiao's left arm wound glowed with a glowing white light, and it disappeared after a long time, and the white ball disappeared in succession, and his wound seemed to have been blessed by immortal magic and blessed by magic, and it was restored as before, and the previous blur of flesh and blood seemed to have never happened.
Chen Xiao was groggy and didn't know how long he had been asleep, when he woke up, he looked at the sun on the top of the cave, it was already past noon, he felt that the wound was not painful, and gently opened the old cloth to detect the injury, and suddenly his mind was blank, "Isn't my arm injured? Why is it all healed? Could it be that I had a dream just now?"
He thought about it carefully, it didn't feel right, if it was a dream, how could there be a cloth to bandage the wound? And the blood stains on it were as fresh as new, and he couldn't figure out the truth after thinking about it for a long time.
Chen Xiao took off the old cloth, stood up and prepared to get out of the hole, his eyes moved around, but he was stunned again, "This skeleton... "It was white and flawless before, but now it is gray and ugly, what is going on?
He was overwhelmed by the successive changes but had no clue, so he could only ignore them for the time being, and now it was not too early, and he had to go to the valley to bring back the tools and wild dogs, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Chen Xiao returned to the valley and brought the tools with him, made a simple carriage out of hemp rope and branches, and dragged the wild dog back to the village. Strange to say, after fighting with wild dogs, wounded and bleeding and running back and forth, he did not feel hungry or tired at all, as if he had endless energy in his body.
In the afternoon, the sun was unusually hot, the villagers had already gone home to enjoy the coolness, and there was no half of a figure on the village road. This is the Wang family, which is second to none in the village, and the head of the family is called Wang Zhen, that is, the father of the little fat dun Wang Chuang.
After waiting for a while, a corner door next to the Zhu Gate opened, and a man who looked like a housekeeper walked out.
"Uncle Wang, it's me. Chen Xiao was quite polite.
This housekeeper Wang also smiled and nodded when he saw that it was him: "Young Master Chen, are you here to find the little young master?"
In fact, Chen Xiao is a young master, but because of his relationship with Wang Chuang, the Wang family treats him very politely, "I don't look for him, I saw a wild dog trapped in some trap just now, I slaughtered it and dragged it back to see if you want Uncle Wang." ”
"Oh?" Steward Wang's face showed a different color, after all, Chen Xiaochang was thin, and said that it would not be easy to kill a wild dog, even if the wild dog was caught by a beast.
He looked down the steps, and sure enough, it was a wild dog, and it was still an adult, and when he got closer, he looked like he had just died.
Steward Wang nodded, turned around and smiled at Chen: "The master also said earlier, I haven't tasted any game for a long time, you wait a while." ”
After that, he grabbed the scalp of the wild dog and picked it up, this time the housekeeper's heart moved, this beast was sixty or seventy pounds, but he was killed by the young Chen Xiao and dragged into the village, the little young master's friend is really not simple, he didn't say much, and carried the wild dog into the door.
After another moment, the housekeeper came out with a rice bag and handed it to Chen Xiao, and took out 10 copper coins and gave them to him.
He didn't go home right away, but crossed a dirt path next to his house and came to a thatched house and gently slammed on the door.
A weak voice came from the room: "Who?"
"It's me, Grandpa Mo. As soon as the words fell, the door opened, almost hitting Chen Xiao's nose.
"Little girl, you're always so frizzy!" Chen Xiao's tone was slightly reproachful, but he couldn't hide the love on his face.
"Brother Chen Xiao, you're here!" The door opened the door was a little girl, who seemed to be younger than Chen Xiao, with a round face, round eyes, round ears, a small nose and a slightly pouting mouth, adding a bit of agility to this little face. There was a piece of floral cloth tied to the high ponytail, and the coarse blue clothes were already short, and there were a few patches, but the little girl didn't care, and jumped up and pulled Chen Xiao into the house.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, except for the cooking stove and a few broken bowls, there is only a wooden table with missing corners, and a few bamboo stools made of green bamboo.
There are two earthen kangs in the southeast of the house, and the firewood under the kang has gradually been extinguished, and only sporadic sparks flicker. On the kang on the left sits an old man who is about to die, and his life slowly disappears like a fire under the kang. The old man's hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, and his eyes were blind, only the white pupils were not black.
After Chen Xiao entered the house, he first asked Grandpa Mo how to say hello, and frolicked with the little girl for a while, and then put down the bag in his hand, "Yuanyuan, look at what I brought." ”
Yuan Yuan opened the mouth of the bag curiously, and his round eyes widened, "Brother Chen Xiao, where did you get so much rice?"
Chen Xiao pretended to whisper mysteriously: "I met a wild dog just now, I thought I could exchange some rice noodles, so I stretched out my hand, and the beast died, so I took it to Wang Chuang's house to exchange for white rice." ”
Yuan Yuan looked disdainful, ignoring his boasting, his eyes were still staring at Bai Mi.
"Don't look at it, you won't be able to pull it out after a while. Chen Xiao teased her: "Go get a bag." ”
Yuan Yuan was busy finding out the worn-out rice bag at home, Chen Xiao was not stingy, he poured most of the white rice into the bag in one go, and took out 3 copper coins and handed them to Yuan Yuan, looking at the little stars that appeared in Yuan Yuan's eyes, Chen Xiao felt indescribable joy and satisfaction in his heart.
