Chapter 41: Night Falls
"Old Gu ......" Qin Zhen endured a violent cough, staggered up, and pulled Gu Jie out of the quagmire with all his might. Then he immediately looked at the raging fire again, waiting for Jiang Qi to appear.
Fortunately, this fire was not a difficult thing for Jiang Qi. Probably as he said, this is the most basic thing in the daily training of a special forces.
So at this time, after helping Lao Gu get out of the fire, he quickly jumped out of the fire with a vigorous and agile posture, and he was unharmed.
But Lao Gu was not as lucky as Jiang Qi, he didn't jump far enough, and he "crashed" out, although he didn't roll directly into the quagmire, but he also got to the side. Quite a few leeches with flames sucked on his bare arms.
Of course, Lao Gu himself saw it, and he yelled like crazy. Maybe it's not because it's really painful, but because it's so disgusting.
Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi pulled Lao Gu and ran away a little more, and only stopped when they were sure that they were really safe and would no longer be threatened by those leeches.
Anyway, he finally saved his life, and as for these things in Lao Gu's hands, a little suffering can always be solved.
Jiang Qi took out a sharp folding dagger from his backpack, and while rolling up Lao Gu's sleeve, he comforted him and said, "Old Gu, bear with me, I will be able to help you solve these things soon." ”
Looking at the few big leeches lying on Lao Gu's arms, Qin Zhen only felt frightened. These things are different from ordinary leeches, and they don't know how much damage they can cause to the human body. Now Jiang Qi is planning to operate on Lao Gu for "surgery". But in such a place, they only have simple antiseptic and anti-inflammatory drugs on them, and I don't know if this will cause any other undesirable consequences.
But Qin Zhen also understands that this big leech of the Yarlung Zangbo is not like an ordinary leech, and the problem can be solved by patting it with the sole of his shoe. To exaggerate a little, the largest one itself was about the size of the sole of a shoe, and you couldn't expect to get rid of it in a bloodless way.
And now these stripes on Lao Gu's arms have a clear tendency to drill into his skin. I really can't understand how such a big person can get into the human body? I remember Tashi said. Once drilled in. They will continue to wander...... In that case, it's not just a little bit of pain or nausea. It is estimated that Lao Gu will definitely beg the two of them to give him a bullet to make him happy.
So they must now cut open the skin immediately to prevent the leeches from actually getting in, and to avoid forceful measures that will pull them off. If the mouthparts remain in the body. That was less than 48 hours. The wound must start to fester. Until then. It's just a matter of a few more wounds on the arm, and whether the whole arm can be saved is a question.
Although Lao Gu looked at Jiang Qi's dangling knife, he also felt a little trembling. But thinking of the things on his arms, let alone making a few openings, I'm afraid he is willing to chop off these two arms now.
Qin Zhen helped him tie the major artery on the side to prevent excessive blood loss, but Jiang Qi didn't even ask, and started directly with the knife in his hand.
It can be seen that Jiang Qi is very confident in this regard. It seems that he has also undergone special training in this set. The position and depth of his knife are all in place. It can not only save Lao Gu from too much pain as much as possible, but also ensure that the leeches are completely removed. If you don't know, you might really think he's a military doctor.
To say that Lao Gu is really a man at this time, he raised his head coldly, closed his eyes tightly, and was calm and calm, like Guan Yunchang who scraped his bones and cured poison. It's just that General Guan is really scraping his bones, and he is at most making a few cuts.
As the leeches were eliminated by Jiang Qi one by one, under the hard stroke, Lao Gu's two arms were also drenched in blood. And some of the locations are really a bit of a blur of flesh and blood. Qin Zhen was a little worried, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask: "Daqi, won't he cause tetanus or anything like this?" Is this too many wounds? ”
Jiang Qi frowned and said, "If you don't dig deeply, I'm worried that some of the leech's mouthparts or body fluids will be left inside, and it will be bad." Fortunately, we still have some anti-virus and anti-inflammatory things, so we should be fine if we clean up the wound in a while. As long as we get out of the rainforest and into the snowy mountains, we can rest assured. ”
Qin Zhen nodded, this is indeed the case. Once you enter the snowy mountains, the temperature will drop rapidly, and the growth of bacteria will also be reduced or even disappear. To put it bluntly, you can't continue to stay in the rainforest, this humid and stuffy environment, if you can't keep it, it will make Lao Gu rotten......
After a "surgical operation" was completed, Qin Zhen hurriedly disposed of the leeches that had been cut out, and then used the water they had prepared to drink to clean up Lao Gu's wounds. In the end, Jiang Qi bandaged him. In this process, Lao Gu has been complaining about money, saying that he shouldn't waste the water he drinks here.
Qin Zhen glanced at him complainingly on the side and said, "You almost fed the insects, where do we still have the leisure to worry about the problem of water or not." The hygienic conditions of your wound just now may be dirtier than a leech. Are you going to let your wounds fester, and eventually your whole body will fester? ”
"Why do you feel like you're sick? Don't talk nonsense, I'm cold, don't always take me down your filthy route. Lao Gu glared at Qin Zhen unhappily, although his face was a little pale at this time, but seeing his shameless appearance, Qin Zhen was also relieved. From this glance, you can see that you will definitely not be able to die for a while.
After Jiang Qi completely bandaged Lao Gu, he also wiped his face, and then said with some concern: "It's going to get dark soon, we have to get out of this place." Who knows if there's more of that in the dirt beneath this place? ”
"Well, yes. Let's move on and find a slightly drier place to settle down. Qin Zhen said as he pulled up Lao Gu and helped him to continue his journey. Be prepared to try to find a slightly safer place before it gets completely dark.
The sky in this rainforest is not like it is human. In the early morning, at noon, and at dusk, there are different feelings and different environmental feelings. And the speed at which the sun sets is much faster than the rate at which the sun rises. Before they could get any further, the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.
Qin Zhen understood that they were afraid that they would not be able to move forward any longer. If they were forced to walk in the rainforest in the dark, they would not know how they would die after a night. As Lao Gu said before, most of the creatures in the rainforest are diurnal and nocturnal.
Lao Gu looked up at the plants and trees that were growing wantonly, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, I miss the natives' tree houses a little now." Although the environment is a little worse, the location is a little higher, and the conditions are a little lower...... But it's a place for people to stay. We're good now, we feel like we're about to be exposed to the wilderness......"
"When will you stop talking like this, I don't think it will be you who will be hurt next time. Do you miss that place, can you still pick out so many rights and wrongs? Then you really deserve to be exposed to the wilderness at night in this rainforest, and tomorrow the sky will be noisy at dawn. How's that, is it tragic enough? Qin Zhen said sarcastically. He now found that the best way to deal with this crow's beak was to be worse than him. This may have some effect similar to fighting poison with poison......
For their already confused concept of time, it may not have even been ten minutes, but the sky immediately became dark. The emerald green of the day now looks like an inky color.
Although they had prepared the lighting equipment before, when the light came out, it could only shine on this small area under their feet. Because of the dense foliage, this flashlight simply cannot achieve its desired effect.
Two lightly wounded people dragging one moderately wounded person may not have been optimistic in the first place. Now that the night is falling, it seems to be even more unoptimistic.
Jiang Qi led the way through a low bush, and finally saw a slightly dry and empty place. Jiang Qi immediately said: "Don't go any further, just here!" I'll go clean up the dry branches, and we'll light the fire. ”
Qin Zhen didn't have any objections, Lao Gu was a little weak now, and his words became a lot less. Qin Zhen helped him sit down, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the gauze, but fortunately there was no more bleeding. The current conditions are too bad, and all injuries depend entirely on the individual's self-will, as well as one's own physical condition.
Fortunately, Lao Gu has been a rough-skinned master since he was a child, and he can't be smashed with three sticks, and he doesn't blow the body board that he can't lie down. So this little injury shouldn't be a big deal.
Qin Zhen took out what he had eaten, and planned to prepare a "dinner" for the next three people. Unexpectedly, Lao Gu, who has always taken "food as the sky" as his criterion, covered his mouth and waved his hand to Qin Zhen and said, "If you want to eat it, you don't need to get it for me." ”
"Why? Don't you always say that eating is the most important thing when you don't get hurt? Now that you're injured, shouldn't you eat more? Qin Zhen was a little surprised by Lao Gu's actions. Such a reaction is inevitably too abnormal for a foodie.
didn't think about it, but Lao Gu said with a distorted face: "No, no...... Forget it for now. My mind is still full of the same image from before...... I couldn't swallow anything. If it weren't for the fact that I've been trying to control it, I might even be able to spit out my appetite! I really can't eat it, you guys leave me alone, I seem to have a psychological shadow...... The pure and beautiful heart was traumatized and struck by Yan zhòng...... It is estimated that it will take a while to ......" (to be continued......)
