Chapter 24: Desert Living Ginseng
Sun Yan said: "Do you remember the last time I told you that Xiao Wang and I were separated in Lop Nur and Xiao Wang was seriously injured at that time? ”
Xiao nodded his lips and said, "I remember, I always wanted to ask, that time, in addition to my glorious color, Xiao Wang was also scratched by the thing in Sha'an?" I haven't heard of it, the two holes in my stomach still hurt faintly when I think about it now, but the last time I saw Xiao Wang, this kid's face was red and didn't look like something was wrong! ”
Sun Yan shook his head and said: "That's what I'm going to say, Xiao Wang was not injured by Sha'an, but by a plant called Lop Nur poisonous spur, this poisonous spur is a highly poisonous plant, the poisonous spores it releases will generate some dense sores on the skin of the animal, once this kind of sores are formed, it will rot deeper and deeper, until the internal organs, it will destroy all the functional tissues and organs in the organism, and finally lead to the necrosis of the whole individual, which is very similar to the hairy virus in principle." Xiao Wang was infected with this poisonous spores at that time, and his whole neck was rotten and almost became a hornet's nest, and he was also accompanied by a high fever and convulsions all over his body."
Sun Yan didn't say much to them about the last time Lop Nur was lost, Xiao Da Lip had never heard of Xiao Wang's matter before, and now it can't help but make people shocked, it's really hard to imagine the kind of picture at that time, Xiao Da Lip swallowed his saliva and asked: "Then how did Xiao Wang get cured in the end?" ”
Sun Yan said: "There is a plant in the desert called 'Dihong strain', the roots of this plant can detoxify the spore poison of spurs, and it is called the 'living ginseng' in the desert." The reason why it is called 'live ginseng' is not because it has many effects on the human body like ginseng, but because it can defeat this poisonous spores. Nazagul told me at the time that when Lop Nur was still full of green trees, this poisonous spur grew most luxuriantly, and many Lop Nur people and domestic animals living in Lop Nur suffered from this poisonous spores at that time. Later, Lop Nur gradually desertified, and the number of poisonous spurs decreased sharply due to the inability to adapt to the arid climatic conditions, and now there are very few, and this 'red ground plant' is still growing in large areas where there is a water source because of its strong root system. ”
Sun Yan paused and continued: "Anyway, I watched Xiao Wang recover little by little from his dying illness, because the two symptoms are similar, so I thought about using this method to give it a try."
Xiao smacked his lips when he heard this, and said: "But these are completely two different things, one is a virus, and the other is a plant poisonous spores, obviously this virus is much more poisonous than this spores, I think, you can't eat a few sweet potato roots." ”
Sun Yan smiled bitterly: "Damn, it was originally a dying struggle, what do you still want." At the very least, the roots of this 'red ground plant' can reduce the heat, which is better than this continuous high fever and burns people into fools, even if it doesn't work, we will hold on first, and then find a way." ”
Xiao pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Cheng!" We didn't have a choice, so Ming'er went to discuss with Han Xiao, and the two of us went to find it together. After speaking, he took out the thermometer and looked at the firelight for a while, and when it was half-loud, he turned his head in horror and said to Sun Yan, "Little Sun, it's still not right, I definitely have a fever, it's thirty-eight degrees!" ”
Sun Yan stared at the thermometer for a long time, then slowly raised his head and said, "Don't panic first, maybe it's just a common cold, I'll leave tomorrow to find it."
Xiao Yan's face had become extremely distorted because of fear and horror, Sun Yan didn't dare to look at his face, couldn't look directly at the eyes that revealed horror, and couldn't imagine that the eyes that were already covered with bacteria were festering and breeding disgusting mold, everything happened too suddenly, and everyone was not prepared to accept this amazing lesion.
Xiao Da Lip was talking nonsense because of a high fever, which caused Sun Yan to not close his eyes much all night, and as a result, he fell asleep in a daze again in the early hours of the morning, and he slept for four hours this night, and when he opened his eyes, it was already bright. Sun Yan hurriedly got up, and when he looked up, he found that Qi Dongrui had already cleaned up and was sitting against the wall.
Sun Yan rubbed his eyes and said, "Why don't you call me, it's all at this time." ”
Qi Dongrui covered his wrist and said, "I see that you haven't slept much all night because of his noise, so I want you to sleep a little longer, anyway, no one has come to call us yet, and besides, this kid probably won't be able to get up." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao's big lips, which were still lying in his sleeping bag.
Sun Yan hurriedly touched Xiao's big lip's forehead, it was so hot, and when he looked at his face again, there was already a large area of redness and swelling under his ears, although Xiao Dalip was unconscious, but he kept scratching with his hands.
Sun Yan frowned and asked Qi Dongrui, "How does your wound feel?" ”
"Itchy." Qi Dongrui said lightly.
"What about the temperature?"
"Fortunately, it's a low-grade fever, it's been around thirty-seven degrees, and the medicine I took last night seems to have some effect."
Sun Yan nodded, he hurriedly brought the medicine and poured it into Xiao Da Lip, and after feeding the medicine, he got up and went to find Han Xiao and them, although he said that he would be isolated from them before, but if these turtle grandsons dared to leave them and run away, then no matter how far they were chased, they would never be spared! Sun Yan hated the root of his teeth when he thought about it.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw from a distance that the three off-road vehicles were still parked in place, not leaving? Sun Yan sighed in his heart, so according to this, these three people are estimated to have something wrong?
He hurried to the barracks where they had encamped, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the three of them were still sleeping in their sleeping bags, and that Wang Biansai was snoring like thunder, but the other two did not move. Sun Yan hurriedly went to see Sister Zu and Han Xiao, Han Xiao was lying sideways in the sleeping bag, his eyes were closed, his face was sallow, Sun Yan touched his forehead, he was really feverish, and it was very hot, and when he looked at it again, his lips were covered with blisters.
Sun Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and went to see Sister Zu again, this woman's breathing strength is short, very unstable, and she knows that the burn is serious without touching it. There is a large area of redness and swelling on the neck and cheeks, and the situation is not optimistic.
And Wang Biansai slept like a dead pig, obviously nothing happened, and Sun Yan picked him up.
"Hurry up, there's something urgent!"
Wang Biansai slept in the dark, and when he opened his eyes, he asked, "Huh? What's wrong? Where am I? ”
Sun Yan hurriedly rummaged through his bag to find medicine, and said without raising his head: "It happened too suddenly, I don't know how to tell you, now only the two of us are fine, we must go on the road immediately, I will tell you the specific things on the way." ”
"Huh? Oh good. Wang Biansai responded in a daze, and got up to wake up his grandmother.
Sun Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't touch her, she's sick now!" ”
Wang Biansai opened his hand, and then began to shout: "You are sick! Then he began to shake his grandmother, and his grandmother groaned in pain twice.
