Chapter 29: The Mystery
Dickens only felt a heart-piercing pain in his left hand, and the pain almost went into shock. The little finger and ring finger of the left hand fall in response. The half snake was still biting his fingers. Without thinking about it, Dickens immediately crouched down and stabbed the snake's head, and the tip of the knife immediately pierced the snake's head.
"Hit the snake on the head!" Dickens thought of this proverb and felt a little regretful for his recklessness just now.
Fortunately, in less than a second, he didn't hesitate to cut off his finger. When this poisonous snake released its venom, he made his own decision. Otherwise, there is a danger to life.
Fortunately, it didn't bite the palm of its hand, otherwise, he would have cut off his entire hand without hesitation.
Generally, after a venomous snake bites, it releases poison in less than a second. The appearance is that the snake's head turned slightly, and the venom was immediately released. If measures are not taken, people can easily die.
There are only two tricks for snakes: one is to entangle and swallow raw, and the other is to release poison after biting. The former is generally suffocated to death, and the latter is poisoned.
The only way to get snake venom in your body is to detoxify it immediately to prevent the venom from spreading, and then take measures to treat it. Common measures include: cutting open the bite wound and sucking out the venom; or use ropes and other tools to tie the wound tightly, slow blood circulation to drive the spread of snake venom; In the end, it is the trick used by Dickens: to make a decisive decision and amputate the limb decisively. The last method is often a last resort when encountering extremely venomous snakes.
Of course, if you are bitten by a snake on the neck, * and other parts, this method is not recommended! Because if you cut it down like that, you might as well die.
When we hear Dickens say this, we can't help but look at his hand. He proudly raised his hand and showed his bandaged severed finger, as if it were an honor to show off. However, when several of us heard this, we all had a common question: Why did Tom go during the whole process?
Dickens went on to say, "After I had killed the snake, I quickly cleaned up the hollow in the tree. It was a few more rounds of scrutiny before settling in. In addition, insect repellent is placed to prevent other insects from approaching. The entrance to the cave was also protected, and then I slept soundly.
I slept until I woke up hungry, and then I got up. After a quick bite to eat and a look at my watch, it was already noon. Feeling that the time was just right, he covered the entrance of the tree hole and walked out of the tree hole alone to check the surrounding situation. Looking at the things in his hand, apart from medicine, there is basically no shortage of daily necessities. So I decided to try my luck at the beach and maybe find some.
I am extremely cautious in my haunts, for fear that if I encounter pirates, it will be troublesome. The time of noon is chosen because noon is the time for them to rest and eat, and there will be fewer people. But when I got to the beach, I didn't find the medicine, but I found this kid! When I found him, guess what he was doing? ”
"What are you doing?" We asked in unison.
"In 'Dad, Mother', cry!" Dickens teased, "When you see me, you kiss me at my feet as if you were seeing my father!" ”
We laughed, but Tom felt a little embarrassed.
After teasing Tom, everyone felt a little hungry. So they made a fire, took out the food together, and shared it together. Although it is some common compressed food, and vacuum-sealed common snacks. But at the moment, it tastes so delicious, it's the best thing in the world. Even the mineral water is a thousand times sweeter than usual.
From this point of view, people's pickiness is not forced to that part. If you are really like us, in a desperate situation, you won't be so exquisite.
About the time when everyone had eaten enough, Dickens continued, "Don't look at this boy (Tom) who is timid, but he is very water-like." It is estimated that none of the people here have any water performance as good as him. Even I, a veteran sailor of decades, sigh to myself and bow to the wind! ”
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately intrigued and asked, "Oh? Is it so powerful? What's a great way? ”
When Dickens heard me ask, he asked me, "How long can a person hold his breath underwater?" ”
"A minute or so!" I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's water-based, it's about a minute and a half." I'm talking about freshwater, with the exception of the ocean. ”
Dickens smiled and said, "He can hold it for ten minutes, and besides, it's in the ocean!" ”
When we listened, we couldn't help but be speechless. That's far beyond the limits of human beings!
Tom saw that Dickens was praising him, so he scratched his head and became happy. We looked at this young man who didn't talk much, and we also felt very shy and cute.
"When I found him, I was about to take him back to the hollow of the tree to settle down. But he called out to me......" Dickenston paused, and said, "I thought something was wrong, so I quickly asked him what was wrong?" He told me that the ship sank nearby. I was thrilled when I heard it! Quickly turning back with him, Tom went into the water and found these things on the wreck. And I, on the shore, sentry for him. ”
After Dickens finished speaking, he pointed to the weapons, medicines, and various daily necessities around him. Then I understood why there was so much stuff in this hollow. also understands that when the two of them fought with He Jianguo before, they were so fierce weapons.
"Earlier, the explosions we had in the prison ......," the old ghost asked.
After being reminded by the old ghost, we remembered the "earthquake collapse" in the prison. I'm still thinking, how can it be so good, there will be an earthquake? It turned out to be the ghost they did.
"Well, yes, it's us." Dickens nodded, and said, "After we went back to the hollow of the tree to rest for a while, we found the pirate's lair." At first, I didn't find it, but I happened to run into one of them, and they came back from the sea. Looking at their bustling and triumphant appearance, each of them has big boxes and small boxes in their hands, and they must have just come back from going to the sea to rob.
Tom and I stalked secretly before we followed them to their lair cave. In addition to the goods, a woman was brought back from it. The woman was very handsome, and a few pirates got into it and wanted to rape her. At this time, suddenly three people who looked like students came out to stop them. Two Chinese students and one American student. The three students were immediately beaten violently, led by a Chinese, and they all obeyed his command. After the fight, it was dragged away by the others.
The people turned around and tried to assault the woman, and in a hurry, we set off the guns. At first, I didn't know that you were in it. Otherwise, there will be no rash acts! It's you who only found out later. ”
When I heard Dickens say this, many mysteries in my mind have been solved. The Chinese Dickens said is likely to be He Jianguo. And those three students must be the corpses of Duoduo classmates we met in the cave when we escaped. It seems that everything happens by accident. Behind them, there are inevitable factors that lead to their occurrence.
When Dickens finished speaking, we were both surprised and angry. I didn't expect He Jianguo to be so inhumane. usually looks sanctimonious, but it's really unambiguous when it's cruel. Everyone stopped talking, and they were all resentful. Unexpectedly, he stopped talking, and after a while, he slowly fell asleep.
There is only one person excepted, Wu Lisha.
She didn't say a word the whole time, just listened silently. I don't know if I can't accept it, or if I don't believe that his uncle would do such a thing.
