Chapter 279: Danger lurks

readx;?ā€œ Big brother, Lao Zhou, come and see, the color of the water here is a little strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

After breakfast, everyone continued on the road, and Zhou Baoyu saw at a glance that the color of the water under his feet was a little strange: a white cloud floated in the sky, projected in the water, and it is said that the color of the white clouds projected on the water surface should also be white. Zhou Baoyu didn't notice it at first, just like everyone else, but after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but hold a little water in his hand, and then he was sure that the color of the water was indeed a little subtle pale blue...... When I set off last night, I couldn't see the change in the color of the water at all. This morning, he didn't wash his face, and even the water for cooking barley powder was fetched by Tashi. For a person of Zhou Baoyu's age, it is strange not to shout with such surprise.

Tashi was naturally accustomed to this, and Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Ping's attention was focused on the pile of water and grass under their feet, like tofu buns, so as not to sink, how could they be in the mood to pay attention to this.

However, Tashi at the front smiled and said that this place has not yet penetrated into the water meadow, so the color of the water is not obvious, and when you go deep into the water meadow, the water in some places is not only blue, but also blue with yellow......

The more Zhou Baoyu listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but interject Could it be that this is the water we used to cook this morning?"

Tashi nodded, then shook his head again. Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, he explained in a straight way that you must remember in the future, whether you encounter blue or yellow or blue with yellow, anyway, no matter the color of water, don't drink it directly, you will die if you drink it. Instead, try to find the running water, and if you really can't do it, you have to boil the water a few more times like I did in the morning. For each course, the top floating ones must be scooped out and thrown away, and when there is no float at the end, the water has become clear again, and it can be drunk after boiling, or used to cook food......"

Speaking of this, he saw Zhou Baoyu holding the water again, and asked jokingly little guy, you don't have any wounds or scars on your hands, right?"

"I don't have it on my hands, but I have it on my body. "Zhou Baoyu thinks that he is a soldier, so he naturally thinks that if there are no wounds on his body, he is also called a soldier, so after speaking, he quickly added that I am a soldier, and I have fought and killed the enemy so many times, and I may not have any scars on my body?"

"Then I advise you not to stain any colored water in the future. ā€

"Why?"

"Because in the water meadow, any colored water is poisonous, as long as it is contaminated with scarring or wounds, nine times out of ten it will be rotted by the poison in the water. ā€

"Really?" asked Zhang Qingshan this time, because he was surprised by this statement. It was precisely because Zhang Qingshan asked with a straight face that Tashi couldn't get into the quipping answer like Zhou Baoyu, so he had to nod his head with a colorful face and said that this is indeed the case...... My own brother was also the old master's guard at that time, and when he was fighting the enemy, he was not cut on the thigh by the enemy's saber for a short time, but because of the urgency of the matter, and the wound was neither long nor deep, and there was no blood, I didn't care after bandaging it indiscriminately. Later, when we protected the old master and retreated to this area, the eldest brother did not step into a waist-deep puddle, and soon had a fever, and there was no medicine at that time, and he mainly wanted to protect the old master, so he didn't care, but in less than an hour, my eldest brother fell into a coma, and the wound on his thigh also began to redden, and at noon the next day, he left. ā€

This is Tashi's experience and is absolutely valuable. Zhou Ping stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying that your eldest brother is a warrior. ā€

"Thank you!" Tashi nodded sadly, trying to put on a smile again, let's keep walking. ā€

After walking a few steps, he stopped abruptly, turned to look at the three of them, and said seriously, you don't need to worry too much about the poison in this water. In fact, once the wound or scarring is formed, wash it with water as soon as possible, if it is a wound, you have to suck out the blood, disinfect it with the wine you brought, and then take some anti-inflammatory drugs, it should be no problem. ā€

Zhou Baoyu was frightened by his previous words and followed closely behind Zhang Qingshan, so that if he fell into a puddle, he could catch Zhang Qingshan - his thigh also had a scar, although it was only a centimeter or two long, but it was also a scar, and he had goosebumps all over his body when he thought about it rotting all over his body and dying. When I heard that there was also a detoxification, I was naturally extremely interested. But because Tashi had talked too much about the poison in the water, he was a little scared Uncle Tashi, do you think this method works? Have you tried it?"

"I tried. For some reason, Tashi likes to make fun of Zhou Baoyu. No, seeing that Zhou Baoyu was obviously relieved when he heard this, he added with a smile that it was not on people, but on sheep. ā€

"My eldest brother's affair has given me a lot of stimulation, so over the years, I have been looking for a way to detoxify......" Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, saying that although he did not find an antidote, after countless experiments, I used what I just said, first disinfect with water, and then suck out the blood, until the blood becomes bright red, and then disinfect with wine, it is not a big problem. At least, I've experimented with sheep with this method, and I haven't failed once. It's just that people are a little different from sheep, so if you add the anti-inflammatory Western pills prepared for you, you should be fine. ā€

"Thank you!" Zhang Qingshan naturally had to thank him for his dedication to his advice. Although it is not possible to express gratitude in physical objects at this time, politeness and respect are still necessary. Otherwise, if Tashi hadn't said anything, but had taken them to after dark today, and then turned around and left, they would have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and in all likelihood they would have to give an account in this meadow.

In this way, everyone listened to Tashi's guidance and asked questions bluntly about what they didn't understand, and it was time to cook lunch in a blink of an eye.

This time, in order to be able to practice, Zhang Qingshan and the three of them naturally followed Tashi to fetch water.

Sure enough, walking through several places, the puddles were tinged with a little pale blue. Tashi was not reconciled, but it took more than half an hour to find a single puddle with normal water, so he had to give up.

I filled a small pot with half of the pot and returned with a little light blue water.

Use dried cow dung collected along the way and a little dead twig to light the fire and boil the water.

Under Tashi's skillful hype and explanation, and under the intently watched eyes of Zhang Qingshan and the others, it was not long before the bottom of the pot under the water began to bubble upwards - this was the prelude to the boiling of water.

As these thin bubbles bubbled out, at first only a few impurities visible to the naked eye floated up, and Tashi naturally scooped them out with a scoop.

Moreover, with each scoop, he would inevitably wipe the scoop with his clothes before continuing to scoop the next scoop.

Soon, the visible impurities were gone.

Zhang Qingshan and the three of them thought it was good, but who knows, Tashi didn't have the slightest intention of putting barley flour and small pieces of beef down.

At this point, the bubbles in the water are already rising in patches – a sign that the water is about to boil.

"Tashi, just boil it, right?"

Tashi shook his head, but kept lying on the ground, blowing air on the fire, trying to increase the temperature and speed of the water boiling.

In less than a minute, the water in the pot began to tumble.

Tashi still didn't let the food in, but waited two or three minutes, and when the water was completely boiling, he took the small pot down and set it aside.

After waiting for five or six minutes, the temperature in the water has dropped a lot, and then I put the pot on the fire, and I saw that I was going to continue boiling the water.

"Tashi, it's all boiled, and it's still going to be burned?" Zhang Qingshan wanted to say: It's all boiled, and it's still going to be burned, do you have to wait until the water is boiled?

"When we first entered the water meadow, because of the proximity to the Lake of Tears, the water cup was not very polluted, so we could burn it once or twice, but as we went deeper and deeper into the water meadow, the poisonous gas in the water became bigger and bigger, so we had to burn it several times. ā€

"When is it going to burn?"

Tashi scooped a few times from the water floating in the pot, and pointed to the layer in the scoop that was faintly grayish-black, and said that at least he could burn it before he could drink it with confidence. ā€

In this way, it took another twenty minutes and three full boils, and the fourth time, Tashi could no longer scoop up the previous miscellaneous water on the water surface of the pot with a scoop, so he smiled and said that he could drink water with peace of mind. ā€

Zhou Baoyu kept his eyes open, looking at it with a little horror in surprise, and when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but while putting veal pieces in the pot, he muttered that this is too troublesome, do we have to drink water in the future?

"It's not too much trouble, it's only getting more and more troublesome. "This time, Tashi did not make fun of Zhou Baoyu, but said to the three of them in a straight voice, you must remember that the water meadow seems to be calm, but in fact, under this calm and calm, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, and if one is not good, he will die here, otherwise, we, as locals, will be so afraid of the water meadow, call it the devil......'s area?

As he spoke, he thought about it, and his smile was a little more strange, making people feel that he was smiling a little gloating, of course, there are only three kinds of death in the water meadows: starvation, disease, and being swallowed by the swamp. Although I don't know how big this water and meadow is, how many days do you have to walk, but the chances of you starving to death are not very high, because you have brought so much, you can really eat horse meat, and you can support it for a month, if you save a little and add some wild vegetables to cook and eat, it will be no problem to support it for two months. If it is swallowed by the swamp, it depends on the will of God and whether it is careful. On the contrary, there is a great chance of dying of illness, and it depends on whether you are everywhere...... Therefore, I would like to remind you once again: after you go deep into the water meadows, you must remember two points: one is not to do anything impulsive unless absolutely necessary, because any impulsive thing is likely to bring about ruin and even affect others, and the second point is to be careful in everything, especially patient......"

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders, and there was a hint of bitterness in his smile You are okay, at least three people, yes, I went into the water meadow to conduct research, and no one wanted to come if I wanted to find a companion. In the end, it's too lonely to be alone here...... In your words, it is like a year. Not to mention finding someone, even if you want to find a living animal to be your companion. I remember catching a big fish from the river, but instead of eating it, I kept going like a madman, and finally released it for some reason......"

He said it simply, but everyone could feel his loneliness at that time, which was enough to make people moved......
