survival in the wilderness

Chapter 63 Detoxification of Snake Venom

After a short rest, under the guidance of Dashi ten people, they set off.

Lin Yan looked suspiciously, this direction is exactly where the big black cow walked.

Not only that, they have been walking along the footsteps of the big black cow for half an hour.

She frowned, and asked Lan Xing in a low voice, "Are you sure it's this direction?"

Lan Xing also found out, he said: "Dashi and the others all pointed out that this is the direction, it should be right."

If one of them was playing tricks, it was impossible not to find out.Besides, they are together now, Dashi and the others dare not mess around.

Although timid in their hearts, they hoped to find hematite as soon as possible.

Lin Yan thinks about it too, Dashi and the others dare not harbor evil intentions, the price is too high.In this perilous place, it is simply impossible to act alone.

After walking for a long time, they turned a corner in the middle and stopped following the big black cow's footprints, Lin Yan also felt relieved.

This untouched place is full of lush vegetation, and it is very difficult to walk.

In fact, almost all the places without human development are like this, the road is difficult and there are many obstacles.

There were traces of ferocious beasts in some places, and they did not dare to stay for fear of running into herds of beasts.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, they didn't want to confront the herd head-on, and that was something they would only dare to do when they were desperate.

The fear of ferocious beasts is engraved in their bones, even if they dare to take the initiative to provoke, they will do their best to avoid them, sneak away, and pray that they will not be discovered.

This day's journey was fairly smooth, but Lin Yan asked Fat Bao to record, but he didn't walk much, less than ten miles.

With such a speed, I don't know how much time it will take to find the original cave of Dashi and the others.

Camping and resting at night, even those on duty, no one dared to sleep too soundly, for fear of being unable to react in time when encountering an emergency.

There were no accidents that night, Lin Yan woke up and it was already daylight, and he started another day of rushing.

Hua Hong whispered to Lin Yan while walking, "Can you hold on?"

"I'm fine, Ma'am." Lin Yan said that he was fine, "I'm hugged by you every day, I don't have to walk by myself, and I'm not tired at all."

"I know, I'm just afraid that you will be scared. The big black cow that day was really scary. I didn't dare to sleep last night."

"It's no wonder that Auntie doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Go to bed at ease tonight. If there is any danger, I will call you."

"I don't dare to sleep, can you sleep?" Hua Hong was really scared, closing her eyes was the scene of that night.

Lin Yan was silent, "I can sleep, Auntie, I don't know how many more days this will last. If you don't sleep at night, your body will not be able to hold on."

"You are determined to find hematite ore. If you can't find it, you won't go back?" Seeing that Lin Yan had made long-term preparations, Hua Hong became even more worried.

Lin Yan said, "Aniang, with Dashi and the others, they will definitely find it. You have to think about the good, so that good things can happen."

The two mothers were talking when suddenly the team stopped.

They were startled and looked forward, not knowing what had happened.

Heitu hurried over, "Someone was bitten by a snake, what can you do?"

"What?" Lin Yan's eyes widened. Although he encountered a lot of snakes along the way, these people were very experienced. They just scared the snakes away and it was over.

"The snake was green and had a thick bowl mouth. I didn't find it when I was exploring the way with strong fire. When I stepped on it, I was bitten by the snake on my calf. It quickly became black and swollen, and I was about to die when I saw it."

Heitu was very anxious, "Lin Yan, do you have any way to put out the fire?"

After hearing the whole story, Lin Yan immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look first."

Heitu ran away holding her in his arms, and Huahong hurriedly followed.

Snakes are poisonous, and the chances of surviving after being bitten are very slim. Many people have died from snake venom. Now that they live in houses, there are fewer snakes.

Seeing Huo Qiang, Lin Yan immediately looked at his left leg. The trouser leg was rolled up, revealing his black calf, which had spread to his knee.

When she came over, she had already asked Fat Bao how to deal with the wound.Immediately said: "Bring a thin rope, tie it here first, and then suck out the snake's venom."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone acted quickly. It was a member of the second team of Pathfinder with Huo Qiang.They discovered that Huo Qiang was bitten by a snake at the first time, and they smashed the snake to pieces together, so that they couldn't die anymore.

Lin Yan watched him suck the snake venom, so he hurriedly said: "Bring water, let him take a sip and rinse his mouth with water." Don't suck the snake venom out, he will be poisoned too.

Lin Yan confessed that it was enough for the sucked blood to turn red, and let the people of the second team take turns to suck it, and don't let one person come.

She looked at Heitu: "Let's go find herbs, wait for the snake venom to be sucked out, and apply it on Huoqiang."

Fortunately, two days ago, Fat Bao told her that he had found a herbal medicine, Chonglou, also known as Aescin, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, reducing swelling and pain, and detoxifying snakes.She kept it in her heart, and she didn't expect to use it so soon.

Zhonglou grows in the forests of mountains or in the damp places of roadside grasses. I saw a lot of them along the way, but Lin Yan didn't pick them just because he was in a hurry.

Heitu was stunned, picked up Lin Yan and left, "What is herbal medicine? What does it look like? Can it really detoxify?"

"What we are looking for is Zhonglou, also known as Aescin. It can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is very useful for detoxification."

"How to detoxify?" Hei Tu seemed to understand but also didn't understand. This was the first time he knew that he could use herbs to detoxify.

"Crush the leaves of Chonglou to apply to the wound, or dry the rhizome to make powder and apply to the wound."

Lin Yan swept across with his mental strength, and pointed to a place. There were several heavy buildings that had grown for several years, and he hurriedly dug out the roots of the black soil.

The two quickly returned to Huo Qiang, the black blood had already been sucked out, the black soil crushed the leaves of Chonglou, applied it on Huo Qiang's calf according to Lin Yan's instructions, and wrapped it in sackcloth.

The others looked puzzled and asked why they did this.

After hearing the whole story, everyone looked at the remaining heavy building in Lin Yan's hand with fiery eyes. If it was really useful, they would be saved if they were bitten by a snake in the future.

Lin Yan handed Chonglou over so they could see it more clearly.

She seldom came out before, and no one came to her when someone was injured. She just resisted by herself, and she didn't expect to collect herbs.

This time Huo Qiang was bitten by a snake, which made Lin Yan realize the importance of herbs.When going out, you will inevitably encounter various poisonous snakes, insects and ants, and you will inevitably be injured. You really need herbal medicine to treat it.

During this trip, she wanted to find more herbs, and popularize them when she returned home, so that people could collect more when they went out, so as to be prepared.

Lin Yan had never been exposed to medication before, so he could only follow what the book said, not knowing how effective it would be.

The team stopped temporarily, and after waiting for more than half an hour, Huo Qiang woke up, the blackness on his legs faded slightly, and Hei Tu changed his medicine again.

Seeing that his body has improved, he is much better than before when he fought hard, and the black soil and the people who waited and watched realized the effect of the herbal medicine.

This opened a magical door for them. It turns out that those humble weeds have such magical effects.
