A Timely Wife

Chapter 344 Jungle Distress

The speed of traveling by water was about the same as their expected time. Three days later, the bamboo raft reached the confluence of Meihe River and Qingyan River. Compared with launching the bamboo raft, it was much easier to go ashore. Li Ruosong ordered After resting, he took the three captains and Chengdong to the side to discuss the next step.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Chengdong was suddenly thrown to the ground by Li Ruosong. After Li Ruosong threw Chengdong down, he rolled on the ground and hid behind a big rock nearby. At the same time, the three captains shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, pay attention, there is enemy attack."

Cheng Dong didn't care about other people's reactions, he could smell the blood from Li Ruosong's body, Li Ruosong must be injured, "Ruosong, are you okay?"

Li Ruosong raised his head, looked at Chengdong's face, smiled happily, and said, "It's okay, you're fine."

Chengdong suddenly had a bad premonition. Li Ruosong's expression was too relieved. He struggled and wanted to push Li Ruosong away so that he could check on Li Ruosong's injuries, but Li Ruosong pressed him firmly to the ground.

"Don't move, wait until the crisis is over, I'm fine, don't worry, I just suffered a small injury." Li Ruosong pressed Chengdong to prevent Chengdong from getting up.

The more Li Ruosong said this, the worse Cheng Dong felt. He knew that Li Ruosong was lying. If it was really just a minor injury, according to Li Ruosong's usual style, in order to prevent him from thinking wildly, he would not need to say too much. Let him check his wound, the more you don't let him see it, the more serious the injury is.

Chengdong was very anxious, and he said repeatedly: "Ruosong, let me see, let me see where the injury is, please, let me take a look, just one look, okay?"

Li Ruosong gently kissed Chengdong's forehead with his lips, and said with a pale face, "It's okay, Fulang, trust me."

"Catched, caught, not good, there are a few more over there, come and catch those who escaped, quickly, we can't let them run back, if they move in reinforcements, we will be in trouble." shouted the captain.

Hearing Captain One's words, Cheng Dong immediately said: "Ruosong, someone caught you, let me see your wound, let me see." Li Ruosong also heard Captain One's words, and finally he was relieved, and he kissed again. After patting Chengdong's forehead, he no longer pressed Chengdong to the ground forcefully, but lay down on Chengdong's body without strength, and said, "It's good that you are fine."

With the help of the third team leader who rushed over and others, Chengdong moved Li Ruosong to the tarpaulin that had been laid beside him. Chengdong saw the short arrow poked on Li Ruosong's back at a glance. He rushed over and cut the arrow. He opened Li Ruosong's clothes and took a look, his face turned pale, and there was poison on the arrow.

Chengdong only felt a buzzing in his head, and he shouted loudly: "Bring over the captured people, bring over, their arrows are poisonous."

The third captain hurriedly ordered the man who was caught just now to be escorted over. Cheng Dong dragged him over and asked repeatedly: "What kind of poison did you use? Where is the antidote? Tell me!"

The caught man just smiled and didn't speak. Cheng Dong said several times but didn't answer. He wanted the third captain to drag the man out and chop him up. Before he spoke, Cheng Dong calmed down and looked at him carefully. The man in front of him was short and dark-skinned, wearing only an apron-like thing that barely covered his buttocks, his upper body was naked, his legs were also bare, he held a bow and arrow in his hand, and carried a bow bucket on his back. There was nothing else, and Cheng Dong suddenly realized that this person was probably an aborigine from the Devil's Valley. No matter how much he said, he couldn't understand it. Since he couldn't understand it, it would be a waste of his tongue to continue talking. That's all.

Chengdong immediately began to recall what the instructor said in his previous life during the exercise in the southern military region. There are many tribes in the south, and each tribe has a variety of survival skills. Among them are tribes that are good at using poison. However, due to The place where this tribe lives is isolated from the outside world. They have no ability to synthesize poisons and can only use local materials. The sources of poisons are only plants and animals.

However, in order to avoid being bitten or scratched by these poisons, they all carry antidote with them, and as long as they find the antidote they carry, the problem can be solved.Thinking of this, Chengdong immediately took off all the things on the captive. When the third captain was taking things, Chengdong kept observing the other party's expression.

He found that when the third captain took off the quiver, the other party was a little nervous. Cheng Dong immediately asked for the quiver to be brought over to him, took out the remaining arrow feathers in the quiver, and turned the quiver upside down. He wanted to see if the antidote was in the quiver, but nothing fell out of the quiver. Chengdong felt that something was wrong. If there was nothing in the quiver, the other party would not be so nervous, but if There is something, where else can a small quiver be placed if it is not inside.

Chengdong checked the quiver over and over, but found nothing wrong. He subconsciously picked up an arrow feather and poked it into the quiver. The arrow made a chug sound when it touched the bottom of the quiver. He didn't think there was anything wrong, but as he listened, the more Cheng Dong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. The sound of the arrow hitting the bottom of the quiver sounded like?

Chengdong pinched the tail of the arrow feather that had been pierced into the quiver in his hand, marked the depth of the quiver with his fingers, then took out the arrow feather, aligned the bottom of the arrow with the bottom of the quiver, and found that the depth outside was deeper than the inside. The depth was shortened by one bar, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned the quiver over to observe carefully. He really found a small mechanism, pressed it down hard, and a small box protruded from the bottom of the quiver. Holding a small bag, Cheng Dong's intuition told him that what was inside was the antidote.

Chengdong found the water bottle from his backpack, took out the medicine bag, and before the third team leader could react, he poured the medicine powder in the medicine bag into Li Ruosong's mouth, then unscrewed the water bottle, and let Li Ruosong drink a few sips of water , take the medicine powder down, and when the third team leader found out what Chengdong was doing, it was too late to stop him, so he could only pray that what Chengdong fed Li Ruosong was the antidote instead of poison.

After watching Li Ruosong swallow the medicine powder, Chengdong turned his head to look at the prisoner's expression. The person who was smiling just now looked at him expressionlessly. Chengdong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his instinct was That's right, what's in that kit is really the antidote.

The antidote was very effective. Li Ruosong's purplish lips soon turned back to blood, but he didn't know whether the amount of poison on the arrow was too large or the amount of antidote was not enough, or some other reason. After waking up, he started to have a low-grade fever instead. Chengdong searched for antipyretics in his backpack in a panic. After searching for a long time, he found a pack of antipyretics and a pack of antidote.

After pouring all the medicines into Li Ruosong, Cheng Dong heaved a sigh of relief. The medicines he brought were all formulated by Butler Zhang himself. If it takes effect, there is definitely no way to get good medical treatment in the jungle. They must rush back to Nanchu as soon as possible.

Cheng Dong had just made a decision when he heard a scream from the prisoner, which was extremely ear-piercing. Cheng Dong secretly thought something was wrong. He only cared about Li Ruosong's injuries, but he forgot that the people inside must belong to the same ethnic group. There is absolutely no way to survive in a place like Devil's Valley. The scream that the prisoner made just now is definitely telling his people to come here, whether it is asking his people to rescue them or telling his people that there is danger here. , it was extremely unfavorable to them. Cheng Dong made a decisive decision when he didn't know how many people there were in the other group.

Cheng Dong helped Li Ruosong to march in the jungle with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The first team leader led 50 people to open the way, the second team leader led 100 people to protect the wounded, and the third team leader led the rest to break the trail and clean them up. Since they don't know when the other party will catch up, the more than 300 of them dare not make any stops along the way, but just rush around day and night.

Li Ruosong's low-grade fever gradually subsided after three days. Although he was not fully awake, he was no longer in a coma like the previous few days. Occasionally Li Ruosong would open his eyes and say a few words. The toxin on it is likely to be snake venom, because Li Ruosong's state is very similar to that caused by neurotoxins. He can't speak well, his limbs don't listen to what he can do. Thinking of this, Chengdong is a little lucky. Neurotoxins can harm the human body. It was very big and happened very quickly. If I hadn't found the antidote in time by remembering what the instructor said before, the consequences now would be really unimaginable.

Suffering from carelessness and underestimating the enemy several times in a row, their spirits were in a state of high tension in the following days, and the slightest disturbance would make them [-]% vigilant. They didn't find out in time, and they started to fight back after a few people fell down. Fortunately, many people were killed on the other side, and the other side's weapons were only bows and arrows. After the initial panic, the soldiers launched an effective counterattack. He retreated, found the antidote from the dead body left by the other party, and gave it to his own people, and then set off again.

When he was caught up for the second time, Chengdong unceremoniously issued a killing order. Anyway, he was almost at the agreed place. Even if he used guns and mortars at this time, it would not trigger the pursuit of the southern countries. The soldiers who were worried about the future had the upper hand at once. As soon as the mortar fired a shell, the opponent was frightened and retreated in a hurry. Presumably it was because he had never seen a gun before. Originally, Cheng Dong wanted to capture a few prisoners, but was caught. Li Ruosong was stopped. Even if they brought the captive back, they probably wouldn't be able to interrogate anything. They couldn't understand the language, so what could they say? The thoughts of the captives merge directly with those who are connected.
