Chapter 470: Terrifying Leeches
A bolt of lightning scurried through the leaves in the sky, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.
Lightning illuminated the earth, and the dense forest, which had been somewhat light, quickly dimmed.
Without warning, the rain fell.
"It's raining." Bi Fang touched the rain on his cheeks, looked at the big fish that was still struggling in the muddy water, and didn't care about any safety, so he directly reached out to fish, "We have to go back quickly, otherwise we may catch a cold." ”
The rain became heavier in a blink of an eye, and the large cold rain hit the body, and it was a faint pain, which was still the reason why the leaves blocked most of it.
Bi Fang opened his five fingers, fished the fish in the muddy water to the shore, repeated a few times, and caught all the fish in the fishing ground, a full three, and there were more small fish that were too late to catch.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the red mud on Bi Fang's body began to fall off, dripping red marks.
Bi Fang, who hurriedly put a few big fish jumping on the shore into the bark frame and reached out to grab the spear on the ground, accidentally saw his palm and was suddenly stunned.
Bi Fang's heart felt a chill in his heart, and he almost wanted to vomit.
An extremely fat leech was quietly attached to the side of his palm, and his body slowly expanded and squirmed!
[Why don't you leave?] It's raining heavily.
The live broadcast room was half bright and half dark, and many viewers did not notice the huge leeches hidden in the darkness at all.
When Bi Fang raised his palm, the audience who urged him to hurry back found that a long black spot was attached to it.
[What is this thing pasted on?] 】
【Willow leaves?】 】
Tendrites burst across the sky, briefly illuminating the forest.
"! Leech! ”
Cao Lifeng screamed, reminding everyone present.
"Leeches?"
"It's a leech."
"Damn, it's disgusting."
Whispering in the first venue, looking at the huge black bar on the screen, a chill surged in my heart.
When did you bite it?
Bi Fang can't remember, maybe when he reached out to catch a fish, he really couldn't prevent it.
Being bitten by a leech hurts, but it's not very obvious, and he doesn't even notice it without realizing it.
Looking up at the increasing rain, Bi Fang took two steps back, away from the river, and did not approach the trees, Banna was the place with the most thunderstorms in Yunnan, and he didn't want to die young.
Looking at the leech on the side of his palm, Bi Fang's tone was as calm as ever.
"For the locusts that bite very tightly, especially when they get into the meat, don't pull them hard to prevent the mouthparts of the locusts from being pulled off and remaining in the meat, which will easily lead to inflammation and infection."
"Under normal circumstances, you can spit on the locust sucker and body, mainly on the sucker, and if you spit a little more, you can often let the locust loosen its mouth, and then pat it a few times, and the locust will fall."
Bi Fang opened his mouth, the tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, and his tongue was full of relish, and soon it dripped on the mouthparts of the leech, and when it was almost over, he stretched out his right hand and patted it gently.
After a few moments, the leech squirmed and continued to swell.
Miscellaneous...... What's the situation?
The audience was shocked, Bi Fang's method has never gone wrong, and now it is actually ineffective?
[, this leech is too fierce]
[I remember when I was a child, I was bitten by leeches when I went to the paddy field, and my grandfather just patted it lightly and came down]
[Should it be said that it is worthy of the leeches in the rainforest?] Big and fierce]
[Actually, it's still big and easier to deal with, I've seen small ones, they can go directly into people's bodies]
Bi Fang raised his eyebrows, a little unexpectedly, he actually failed.
This probability is not large, and there is nothing around him that can be burned at the moment, otherwise it will be enough to burn it with fire.
Without too much hesitation, Bi Fang directly let the drone deflect the camera, then stood up and said very calmly: "If the saliva does not work, you can take your own or your companion's urine and pour it on the locust, and the locust will loosen its mouth after a while." ”
Hiss!
The audience gasped and poured urine directly?
Ruthless!
Bi Fang didn't have any psychological discomfort, it was normal to deal with urine in the wilderness, and urine was a luxury when there was really no water to drink.
Unfortunately, the leech adsorption location is on the side of the palm of the left hand, which is not easy to handle.
So Bi Fang took a bamboo tube as a transfer station.
In the live broadcast room, the audience could only see Bi Fang's naked body with his back to him, and the red mud on his body became very mottled under the rain.
After a while, the camera turned to the front and saw Bi Fang pouring the liquid in the bamboo tube directly onto the leech, which had become very huge.
"Urine and salt sprinkling are one effect, many mollusks have a lot of water in their bodies, once they sprinkle salt, the osmotic pressure changes dramatically, and the water in their bodies will be quickly lost, causing heavy damage, and they will automatically give up attacking."
Sure enough, urine is used more than saliva tubes.
As soon as it was poured on it, the leeches reacted violently and began to struggle.
Perhaps because he didn't replenish water so much after a busy afternoon, Bi Fang's urine has a somewhat high concentration of inorganic salts, which is no less than falling into sulfuric acid for leeches.
After a few violent sways of his body, he fell to the ground and crawled towards the muddy water.
After the treatment was completed, Bi Fang didn't care about cleaning and stopping the bleeding, let alone the idea of revenge, so he directly threw the bamboo tube in his hand into the river and rushed towards the direction of the camp.
In the gloomy rainforest, the sound of running water is everywhere.
The rain falls into the woods and leaves like pillars along the leaves, forming small streams in the forest, which shows how heavy the rain is.
When Bi Fang had just left the river, he even felt that the river had risen a little.
"Don't panic when you're on your way." Bi Fang kept moving forward in one direction, and the rainforest was completely dark at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already walked this road many times, Bi Fang felt that even he might get lost, without him, it was too dark, and he couldn't use a torch at this time.
The trees all around were exactly the same tall and full of vines, and there was no difference at all in the eyes of ordinary people, not even the most experienced hunters.
Fortunately, the distance was not far, and the original markers were still there, and after going around for a while, Bi Fang successfully returned to the camp.
"Whew! When I finally came back, it seemed that I had made the right choice to build the roof. Bi Fang wiped the red mud on his face and made a big face.
The rain was already drenching his hair, and drops of water were dripping down his jaw quickly.
In the rainy season, the rain is so sudden that the signs are rarely detected, and it is often too late to find them.
Bi Fang rinsed and took out the fire in the bark frame, dug the filled fire pit again, lit the flame, the high temperature immediately dispelled the cold, and the comfort spread along the limbs.
The rain falls on the palm fronds on the roof of the shed, rolling down, connecting the dots and flowing down the slope.
Rainforests in the rainy season and rainforests in the dry season are two very different places, where rivers can rise on the ground and trees may grow thick aerial roots overnight.
Therefore, as early as when choosing a camp, Bi Fang could set up the camp on higher ground to avoid being directly flooded by water.
"At all times, don't leave a burning fire pit behind, and make sure that someone is watching, otherwise there is a high risk of starting a forest fire, and a gust of wind may blow sparks down on the withered leaves." Bi Fang stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and at the same time, he was steaming and drying the water on his body.
All kinds of animals are sheltering from the rain, and there is a rare peaceful branch in the rainforest.
Bi Fang inserted the bamboo tube directly into the fire pit and let the flames boil it.
"The boiling point of the water is only 100 degrees, we may throw it directly into it, and the bamboo tube will not burn out, at most the skin will be burned black, this is a convenient way to boil water, but now I have to deal with the wound quickly."
"To facilitate blood sucking, leeches secrete an antithrombin enzyme at the same time as they bite, and under the action of this enzyme, even if we safely remove the leech, the wound will bleed non-stop."
Bi Fang showed the wound that had been bitten by the leech to the audience, and there was no too obvious wound, but the gurgling blood couldn't stop pouring out, which was very terrifying.
If it hadn't rained, Bi Fang would never have returned to the camp bleeding, which would have attracted fierce beasts, but it didn't matter if it rained, all traces would have been washed away by the rain.
Bi Fang picked up a bamboo tube of water that had not been fully heated, and slowly poured it on the wound to clean.
"The only good news is that leeches are non-venomous, so there is no great danger of being bitten by them, only some of the blood is lost. However, there is a possibility of infection in the wound, so disinfection is the most important. ”
"And some people will have allergic reactions after being bitten by leeches, such as erythema, itching, swollen lips and eyes, dizziness, difficulty breathing and other symptoms, so they should seek medical treatment immediately."
From the time he was bitten to the present, Bi Fang didn't feel any discomfort, and it seems that he was quite lucky.
"If there is only one small wound, the wound can be irrigated with iodine, alcohol, or a five-percent sodium bisulfate solution."
"Without disinfection tools, bamboo leaves can also be charred into carbon ash, or tender bamboo leaves can be mashed and applied to the wound to prevent infection and stop bleeding."
The bamboo leaves Bi Fang left some when he was building the camp, and he took them off the bamboo poles, and he didn't think about it so much at the time, so he put it under the bed, but he didn't expect it to be used the next day.
Take some bamboo leaves and put them on the stone slab, light them with charcoal fire, and watch them burn out in the flames.
Bi Fang directly pressed his palm into the ashes, and it was itchy all over, but fortunately, the ashes physically blocked the wound and stopped bleeding.
"I once saw a survey of leeches in the LZD area, and the researchers randomly surveyed the officers and soldiers of the troops stationed in the local area, and found that the bite rate of 50 officers and soldiers in the company was 61%, of which the bite rate was 100% in field duty activities; Leeches caused psychological fear among officers and men in 70 percent. ”
Even the Huaxia soldiers were terrified of this little thing, let alone ordinary people.
This is also one of the reasons why Bi Fang does not go into the water easily, maybe you go up barefoot, and when you come up again, you are already a black leech with one leg, large and small, and you are full.
Not to mention that the locusts are large and small, and there are parasitic ones, which will burrow into the skin and flesh, which is even more terrifying.
The audience shivered, and the cold hairs on their legs stood up.
[Mom, Fang Shen said that I successfully shrunk my toes]
[I'm disgusted]
[The rainforest is beautiful to look at, and you can be disgusted to death if you really go]
[I still wanted to travel, good guy, Lao Fang's operation successfully dispelled my thoughts, it's terrifying]
[Where is this rainforest, it is clearly a green hell]
[Curator Zhou cries in the storm]
Bi Fang smiled: "That's not it, the scenery is still very beautiful, and the Banna scenic spots are all peripherals, and there will be no danger, otherwise Director Zhou may regret agreeing to me to come." ”
After stopping the bleeding, Bi Fang pulled the bark frame on the side and began to check today's harvest.
In total, there are eight large bamboo shoots and four fish.
Among them, there are two catfish and two carp, both of which are common fish in the Banna rainforest.
The size is considerable, the smallest carp is also the size of a palm, and the other three are close to the length of an arm, saving a little, one can eat for a day, with bamboo shoots more than enough.
If nothing else, at least for three or four days, Bi Fang will not have to worry about food, and he will be able to eat quite well.
"It's a pity that the rain is a bit heavy today, and when the rain stops, the river is likely to skyrocket, and before it seems, the original fishing grounds are no longer usable and need to be reopened."
"But it doesn't matter, it's only an hour, and now that we have enough food, we can dig wider and deeper fish and catch bigger fish."
Bi Fang's face was full of joy, and he spread the palm leaves on the ground and began to process the big fish.
The rainforest's high microbial population, combined with its hot climate, quickly renders dead fish unedible, so they are quickly processed to make smoked fish.
Catfish is also more convenient, there is no need to remove the scales, and carp is more troublesome.
Bi Fang scraped it with a stone dagger for a long time before it was finished, and it was still quite messy, with a few rain scales scattered around.
"We should not litter the offal, on the one hand, the smell is strong, it is not safe to leave on the ground, and on the other hand, these offal are also good bait, whether it is to catch animals or scatter them in the fishing grounds, they can increase the harvest."
Survival in the wilderness, catching prey is equivalent to owning the principal, and people who are good at using all resources can quickly make profits and build up advantages.
There is no doubt that Bi Fang is such a person, and with this harvest, it will be difficult for him to go hungry for the next nineteen days.
After disemboweling all the fish, Bi Fang cut off all the fattest fish bellies on their bodies.
"The belly of fish is rich in fat and can help us replenish our energy very well, but I don't lack this now, but I want to refine the oil they use in public."
"Bio-oil can be used as a flammable material for torches, but it can also help us make other items, such as mixing it with plant ash to make soap."
"With soap we can wash our bodies every day, and it also has a bactericidal and antibacterial effect, which is quite necessary in the rainforest."
Bi Fang is happy, and everything is developing in a good direction.
After cleaning the fish and inserting it with a bamboo skewer, Bi Fang is ready to try grilling fish today.
At the same time, he also took out a handful of "weeds" from the bark frame and tied it to the fish under the unexplained gaze of the audience.
