Chapter Twenty-Eight: Xiao Jian is Injured
"Looks like you really know that figure, let's go to the cave together another day, maybe there's something new to discover." There is a small door on the wall of the stone chamber, and we can't open it, let alone find any mechanism to open it, and if you recognize the figure, maybe you can find a way to open it. Seeing that Xiao Jian really knew the graphics in the cave, Josia was also very excited, and couldn't help but propose on the side.
"Yes, since you recognize the shape, you must check it out, maybe there are some surprises waiting for you. Zuo Liancheng also agreed with his wife's opinion very much, and even claimed that it was.
"If you're willing to take me there, I'm grateful that you're too late, how can you not go?" Xiao Jian told the truth, according to the clues provided by Zuo Liancheng and his wife, that cave is the only place where he can find clues about Huaxia at present. Even if there is nothing in the cave, I will definitely go to see it, "I meet a confidant after drinking, and meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country," which is a thing that can be met but not sought, but the person who once lived in the cave cannot be his old friend at all, and he may not even have a relationship with half a dime. But after all, he may be from Huaxia, and if this is the case, he can be regarded as his countryman. For the Chinese national feelings that come from the bones, I have to go and see it myself.
"Well, if there is nothing to do the day after tomorrow, let's go to the cave together to have a look? I'll prepare for it tomorrow, anyway, the couple also plan to try our luck in the valley where we last met the Silver Horn Flying Snake, the texture of the Soul Restoration Grass there is also good, and for us who practice martial arts, the Soul Restoration Grass is our essential elixir, the more the better, if we are lucky, maybe we can still meet the Blue Blood Silver Snake in there." Zuo Liancheng was also very happy to see that Xiao Jian agreed to go to the cave with him to explore, and made a decision immediately.
Early the next morning, the three of them set out, one of them rode a healthy horse, and soon came to the stream of the valley where the Zuo Liancheng couple had encountered the Silver Horn Flying Snake last time.
After the last failure, this time Zuo Liancheng and his wife have made sufficient preparations. Not only did they bring a lot of snake repellent powder, but they also prepared a large package of herbs to treat venomous snake bites. Xiao Jian was also fully armed, not only bringing the long sword he got from Liu Yunlong last time, but also bringing his own sniper rifle. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and wild animals are infested, so who knows if there will be any unexpected dangers, and it's always good to be prepared.
The horses of the three had long since been left where they had been tethered, and now they were all with their swords in their hands, and they were cautiously walking forward.
The three of them walked up the stream for only two or three hundred meters before they encountered a swarming stream of silverhorned flying snakes. Obviously, the number of silverhorn flying snakes encountered this time has more than doubled compared to the last time. I saw that the overwhelming silver-horned flying snakes, like flying locusts in the sky, suddenly attacked them from the air and the ground in a dense manner.
"Hurry back!" Zuo Liancheng saw the silver-horned flying snakes that suddenly swarmed all over the world, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and quickly shouted, quickly took out a large bag of snake repellent powder from his arms, threw it into the air, and then lifted his long sword and retreated sharply.
There were too many silverhorn flying snakes in the valley this time, and it was completely unexpected. No matter how powerful the driving powder you refined, in the face of such a large number of snakes, even if you can block it for a while, you can't solve the fundamental problem. If you don't run now, I'm afraid that if you wait a little longer, you won't be able to run away if you want to. At that time, the three of them will become the belly of this silver-horned flying snake, and even if they want to find a place to redress their grievances, they can't find it.
Zuo Liancheng sprinkled out the snake repellent powder in time, and finally blocked the snake group that was chasing after him a little, so that the three of them would not fall into the encirclement of the snake group in the first place. But this was only a slight block, because there were too many silver-horned flying snakes swarming up behind, they quickly dispersed the medicinal powder in the air, and continued to chase after them as if they were desperate.
The three of them didn't run forward desperately, and they saw that they were about to escape from the pursuit of the snakes, but Xiao Jian, who was running behind, suddenly screamed "oops", and his speed slowed down.
"What's wrong with you, Xiao Gongzi?" Zuo Liancheng chuckled in his heart, and quickly turned around, only to find that Xiao Jian was limping and stumbling at this time.
"Uncle Zuo, my foot was bitten by a snake! it hurts!" replied Xiao Jian as he continued to struggle forward. He was supposed to run in front, but after all, he had been seriously injured and had not yet healed, so he fell behind as he ran.
"Josia, come over and help, Xiao Gongzi has been bitten by a snake!" Zuo Liancheng did not hesitate, turned around and ran towards Xiao Jian, and at the same time kept sprinkling the snake repellent powder he was carrying into the snakes. After Josia heard her husband's shout, she also turned around and shot a large handful of flying needles she carried with her like a rain of flowers in the sky, regardless of the snakes that were desperately rushing forward.
Under the dual effect of Josia's poisonous needle and Zuo Liancheng's snake repellent powder, the snake group finally stopped, and the dense silver-horned flying snakes stopped three or four feet away from them, almost covering the entire valley.
Zuo Liancheng put Xiao Jian on his back and continued to rush towards the hillside in front, while Josia was in charge of the back, only to see that she shot out a dozen flying needles from time to time to shoot those silver-horned flying snakes, and at the same time constantly sprinkled snake repellent powder on the ground behind her.
Maybe it's because they're afraid of the poisonous needle in Josia's hand, or maybe they're disgusted by the disgusting smell of snake repellent powder. The serpents in the valley chased them for some distance before giving up.
"Let me see the wound on your foot?" waited until he carried Xiao Jian to a mountain seven or eight hundred meters away from the canyon just now. Zuo Liancheng put down Xiao Jian on his back, and at this time, Xiao Jian's face had turned dark blue and purple, and his head was also sweating profusely, and even his mind was a little blurred. Obviously, after Xiao Jian was bitten by a snake on his feet, the toxin had begun to spread throughout his body, and if he was not rescued in time, he was afraid that Pa Jian's life would be in danger.
Zuo Liancheng lifted the trouser tube of Xiao Jian's left calf up, only to see that the place where the snake was wounded, the wound had become black, and blood was constantly oozing out, but the blood was no longer bright red, but red with purple, purple with black, and faintly emitted an unpleasant stench.
"We need to pull out the poison for him immediately, I'm afraid it will be too late. Zuo Liancheng took out a silver knife three or four inches long from his arms, and then used the fire fold he carried with him to make a small fire, put the knife on the flame and burned it several times. Then he made a horizontal cut in the wound on Xiao's foot, cut off the skin that had begun to die at the wound, and squeezed out a large pool of dirty blood from the wound around the wound.
"I'm going to use a crockpot to pull poison for him now, you feed him the antidote pill first. Zuo Liancheng gave an order to his wife, then took out a crockpot seven or eight inches long and shaped like a reed from the package on his back, then took out a few pieces of yellow paper, lit them on the flames, and threw them into the crockpot, and when the yellow paper was burning in the crockpot, he turned the crockpot upside down on the wound on Xiao Jian's foot. By the time Josia finished giving Xiao Jian the antidote pill and pulling the crockpot from the wound, the crockpot had already been filled with a small half jar of black ink-like blood, but the color of the skin around Xiao Jian's wound had returned to a little normal color. After about forty or fifty minutes, after Zuo Liancheng repeatedly used a crockpot to dissolve him six or seven times, Xiao Jian's face was still a little pale, but it was basically back to normal.
"Thank you, Uncle Zuo, you saved me again this time, plus last time, I know your two lives. Xiao Jian struggled to sit up from the ground, looking at Zuo Liancheng, who was already tired and sweating, his heart was full of gratitude. He and he had never known each other before, but he had lent a helping hand again and again when he was in danger. Xiao Jian can still clearly remember the "case of helping the elderly" that occurred in a certain city in China in 2006, in which the defendant kindly picked up the old man who fell to the ground, sent the old man to the hospital, and paid several hundred yuan in advance for medical expenses. Instead of being grateful, the result was taken to court. What is even more ridiculous is that the judge actually convicted the helper of the person who was at fault in the first place, and made him pay a large amount of financial compensation. Since then, people have never dared to help others as much as they used to. There is even a saying circulating on the Internet: "If your family doesn't have a mine, it's best not to help the elderly!" What is even more peculiar is that in recent years, a new profession has appeared in many places -- porcelain touching! Although the leaders at the top have begun to pay attention to this increasingly corrupt world style, after a concept has been formed, how difficult it should be to turn it around in a short period of time.
"You should be fine, it's okay, the treatment is timely, if it is an hour in the evening, I am afraid that your leg will not be saved. Zuo Liancheng looked at Xiao Jian's gradually improving face, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, he felt a burst of fear.
"What kind of snake is this? Why did you encounter so many at once, and they were all so poisonous. As soon as Xiao Jian thought of the overwhelming group of snakes he had just encountered, his heart trembled. When I was on a mission in Africa, I also encountered a large number of poisonous snakes in an abandoned diamond mine. However, compared with the number of snakes encountered now, not to say one-tenth, I am afraid that it is not even one percent.
"That's the silver-horned flying snake, have you noticed that many snakes have white horns on their heads? This snake not only has a strong bouncing power, can jump into the air to attack the opponent, but also is extremely poisonous, once bitten by it, if the rescue is not timely, even if it survives, it will at least take off a few layers of skin, even if it is a person who has profound martial arts skills, he will lose all his skills, and he will become a waste person from now on. Fortunately, we were well prepared this time and brought all the medicine and utensils for the treatment of snake bites, otherwise the consequences would have been really unimaginable. After Zuo Liancheng finished explaining, he thought about it for a while, and then continued, "I have been hunting and collecting medicine in and out of this mountain forest, but it is the first time that so many silver-horned flying snakes have gathered in one place at the same time. Could it be that something is going to happen here? But what is going to be this? Is it going to bring so many silverhorned snakes together?"
"When things go wrong, there must be demons, how can there be three feet of waves without wind? With so many flying snakes gathered together, there is definitely an unusual thing that is about to happen. Dad, do you think there is a snake king advancing here?"
