Chapter 33 Plants More "Poisonous" Than Poison
The eyes of the others also looked at Liu Pan'er, "If you have anything to say, everyone will discuss, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter." โ
Village Chief Li's eyes were worried and melancholy, "Yes, Yuanqing's family, don't worry, there are not so many rules on the way to escape, what do you say." It's been so hard that we just want to live. โ
Liu Pan'er thought about it and replied: "Village chief, it looks like it's going to rain, let's go like this, where are we going?" โ
Village Chief Li sighed and nodded, "Yes, we think the same way, the elderly and children are sick again, and it is also a dead end." But if I stay, I'm afraid that the bandits will catch up, and we won't be able to escape. โ
Liu Pan'er replied: "Since we can't hurry, we can't sit still either." I'm going to collect the poison juice and rub it on the wooden thorns, and we'll make a trap nearby. Chop down sturdy branches and spill venom on their tips to kill your enemies if they pierce their skin. โ
Village Chief Li was stunned and was silent for a long time.
One of the honest men, stammering, rubbing his hands, quite nervous, "Are we really going to kill someone?" โ
"But if we don't kill anyone, they will kill us!"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Liu Pan'er nodded in agreement, "Of course we don't kill ordinary people, if it's those bandits, they're beasts, why don't you dare to resist?" If we are caught, if we don't resist, we will also be a dead end. Fight, we can still live! โ
Village Chief Li spat on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "It's dry, in such weather, moving forward, life and death are uncertain." Stopping here, too, is dangerous. Yuanqing's family, you go and prepare the venom, if those bandits chase after them, we will fight with them. โ
Seeing that Village Chief Li agreed, Liu Pan'er suggested, "We have a carpenter in the village who can make all kinds of wooden thorns, so I'll go and dispense venom." โ
Village Chief Li led people to act separately, and Liu Paner led people to find venom.
Although some of the venom is collected, after being drenched in the rain, or after a period of time, the effect of these venoms is greatly reduced, and the effect is not good.
Liu Pan'er was worried, feeling that her method didn't seem to work.
Just when Liu Pan'er frowned and thought a lot, she suddenly heard a man named Li Dazhuang behind her suddenly scream, "Oops, it hurts!" โ
Several people turned their heads one after another, and saw that Da Zhuang's arm was red and swollen, and Da Zhuang kept stomping his feet and jumping up in pain.
"Da Zhuang, what's wrong with your arm?" Village Chief Li hurriedly asked, showing concern, "Was it bitten by a snake?" โ
Li Dazhuang pointed to a half-zhang tall tree not far away, grinning in pain, "It hurts, it hurts, village chief, my arm hurts." โ
"What's that?" Village Chief Li was just about to reach out and touch it, but he didn't recognize this plant.
Liu Pan'er stopped loudly, her face frightened, but suddenly she thought of the wonderful use of this thing, "Don't touch, don't touch, retreat quickly, it's something more terrifying than poison!" โ
Village Chief Li hurriedly retracted his hand, took a few steps back, carefully stared at these plants not far away, and looked at Liu Pan'er with puzzled eyes, "Yuanqing's family, hurry up and tell me what this thing is?" โ
At this time, Li Dazhuang screamed in pain, eager to roll on the ground, and his body kept twitching.
Several people were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare.
Liu Pan'er had just taken a closer look and determined that this was a "poisonous" plant she had seen before. It is called the "Golden Bark Tree" and grows in a single-stemmed fashion.
In appearance, the goldbark tree resembles a fern. The goldenbark tree is one to three meters tall and has large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves with serrated edges, the size of a woman's palm.
When she used to travel in the rainforest with her friends, her guide warned them not to touch the plants here, which may be poisonous, especially the leaves of the goldbark tree.
If a person touches the leaves of the goldbark tree, they will immediately feel a strong stinging, burning pain, especially where the leaves are touched. Then, the pain peaks in twenty or thirty minutes. At the same time, the lymph nodes under his armpits will swell and twitch violently, making the person feel as if the swollen lymph nodes are caught in a plank.
Liu Pan'er comforted Li Dazhuang, "Da Zhuang, don't be afraid, although this thing will cause severe pain, it will not lose your life." This pain lasts for a long time, possibly up to half a year. โ
Li Dazhuang was getting more and more painful, as soon as he heard that such pain would hurt for half a year, he suddenly wanted to die, but he still had his wife, "Sister-in-law, save me, save me." โ
Liu Pan'er thought for a while, "Da Zhuang, you can bear it, this can only be boiled hard, and now we have no medicine to treat it." Go back and see if you can use steamed glutinous rice to make sticky rice balls to get rid of the burrs in your skin? โ
Li Dazhuang struggled, and another person supported him, "Then let's go back quickly, this is too poisonous." It hurts to death when you touch it. โ
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Don't get close, I'll take these things to make weapons." โ
Village Chief Li knew that he didn't have the ability to collect such powerful leaves, "Yuanqing daughter-in-law, don't be embarrassed, this won't work, let's change to another one." โ
Liu Pan'er pondered carefully, "Village Chief, I know it's very dangerous, but those bandits are more vicious and dangerous than these goldenbark trees, the road ahead is not easy, and there is no way to retreat behind, so we can only take risks." Don't worry, village chief, since I know each other, I know how to get it. โ
Liu Paner's words made everyone's faces sad, and they were about to reach a dead end.
As soon as he finished speaking, the original drizzle now turned into a pouring rain, and several people hurried back.
After returning, Village Chief Li immediately collected glutinous rice, quickly steamed it, crushed it into a ball, and put it on Li Dazhuang's arm, hoping that the burrs on his arm would stick down.
Although most of the exposed burrs were sticking down, there were still a little in Li Dazhuang's skin, and the pain made Li Dazhuang hum all the time, and directly picked up a knife and cut off the piece of flesh on his arm.
It hurts, and the blood flows, but it's not the kind of pain that doesn't hurt anymore.
Village Chief Li hurriedly found gold sore medicine for Li Dazhuang to use to stop the bleeding.
After coming back, Liu Paner found the cotton clothes in the package and took out the cotton inside.
Li Dabao was curious and asked, "Mother, what did the village chief say we should do?" It's raining heavily, so we can't run inside, right? โ
Liu Pan'er raised her head, looked at several pairs of worried eyes, smiled, and comforted in turn, "Don't be afraid, we have found a very poisonous plant today." It's just that that thing is so poisonous, if you're not careful, you might get hit yourself, and I'm trying to figure out how to collect those leaves and make them into weapons. โ
Li Dabao was slightly relieved when he heard that there was a way, "You, I'll help you." โ
Liu Pan'er shook her head, "No, I'll just come by myself." โ
Liu Shi spoke up, "Third brother and sister, the child is hairy, I have flexible hands and feet, I will help you." โ
Liu Pan'er thought for a while, "Sister-in-law, when I think about how to get it, teach you how to get it, and then you can help me." โ
"That's fine." Liu responded and was very curious about what kind of poison Liu Paner had found?
