Chapter 21 Snake Venom

When Ji Chi cast the net again, the two women took out the net and put it on the shore. There were more than a dozen fish in the net. The little girl immediately ran over excitedly, grabbed one and started to chew.

The two women were also very happy. They poured out the fish carefully, and couldn't wait to put the net into the river again. While waiting, they turned their heads to look at Ji Chi and smiled at him.

Seeing how happy they were from the bottom of their hearts, Ji Chi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He fished out the net again, and handed the biggest herring to the little girl who just ran over. She glanced at him, then carefully stretched out her dirty hands to take it, and then raised her head and whispered to him: The sentence "羍".

Although Ji Chi didn't understand, he still pursed his lips and smiled at her, went ashore to collect the net, and walked towards the Fujiya.

In the middle, he looked back. Two women were dividing the fish. The little girl was squatting beside her holding the herring. Her body was swaying back and forth, as if she was very happy, and the timid look in front of him was gone. .

Ji Chi withdrew his gaze and continued walking.

Back at the rattan house, he packed up the fish, ate two of them after grilling, and put the rest into the wooden frame.

The blades of grass on the roof had turned purple and were not yet dry.

He found a bigger nut shell and put the nut meat from last night into the vine house.Then take out the red-haired rabbit in the trap hole, put it in the wooden frame after roasting, and then go to the thatched cottage.

It was already noon, and it seemed that Yu Yu hadn't come back yet.

Ji Chi walked under the tree thoughtfully, only then did he notice a sound coming from ahead, he looked up, was startled, and immediately climbed up to the thatched hut.

It was a reticulated boa constrictor as thick as a sea bowl, about seven or eight meters long, with a long cylindrical body and a conical head. It was agile and fast.At this time, it was dragging its blood-stained body trying to escape the three men who were surrounding it.

Ji Chi took a closer look and saw that Yu Yu was also among them. He was standing at the snake's head and waving the stick in his hand vigorously to resist the snake's head that was thrown towards him from time to time.

Not far from them was a man who was bitten and couldn't move. His wound was still bleeding, and his face was full of despair.

In Ji Chi's previous knowledge, although the python is terrifying, it takes at most two people to subdue it, but they were surrounded by three people.

At this time, after a scream, one of the men was sucked into the coiled body of the snake, and when he came out after a few twists and turns, he was already miserable.

Ji Chi was taken aback, he didn't expect this reckless snake to be so powerful.

He looked around, but the bow and arrow were left in the rattan house and were not brought out.

The companion's disfigurement made Yu Wu and the man feel like retreating.As long as it is a living thing, there is no one who is not afraid of death.Even if the people here are used to seeing other people's death every day and getting used to this kind of life, once it happens to themselves, it's a different matter. They may want to live more than anyone else at the moment of knowing death.

Taking advantage of the gap between them, the boa constrictor flicked its tail vigorously and jerked its head forward, about to slip out of their encirclement, but at this moment, Yu Wu thrust a stick into its eyes, and at the same time The boa constrictor let out a strange cry of "hiss", shook its head violently a few times, and threw out the stick inserted into the eyes together with Yu Wu, and then the snake's head rushed towards Yu Wu who fell on the ground at an alarming speed, and quickly After biting Yu Yu's arm that blocked his head, he ran into the forest and disappeared.

Yu Yu sat up and looked at the bleeding wound on his arm, his expression was ashen.

The most important thing after being bitten by a snake is to deal with it as soon as possible without delay.Ji Chi grabbed a cane and climbed down from the thatched hut to Yu Yu's side. He raised his hand and tied the cane over the wound.

Yu Yu turned around and looked at him, as if he didn't understand what he was doing, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he let him play without any struggle.

After Shan and Sanxi were tied up with rattan, Ji Chi used a knife to make a *-shaped incision on the wound with the tooth marks as the center, and then squeezed the wound from top to bottom to let the venom out.After squeezing for about 10 minutes, he loosened the cane and tied it again a few minutes later. After thinking about it, he still used his mouth to help him suck out the possible residual venom.

When his mouth touched the wound, Yu Wu's body shook violently, until he straightened up, Yu Wu still looked at him in disbelief.

Ji Chi could feel their fear of snake venom, but as long as he was careful, it would be fine if he inhaled it into his mouth.

After the venom was discharged, he was basically fine. Ji Chi took him to the river to wash the wound and then bandaged it briefly.

After returning from the river, Yu Wu seemed to have thought of something suddenly. He went to the place where the fight was just now and took a look. It turned out that the man who was also bitten by the snake was still lying there, but he had almost lost the breath of life at this time. .

The expression on Yu Wu's face was a bit strange, he followed Ji Chi into the thatched cottage and kept observing his mouth.

Ji Chi met his gaze in silence for a while, then turned over and lay down with his back facing him.

A few minutes later, a large area of ​​touch came from his back, and then a head squeezed into his neck and then moved to his chin, rubbed it a few times and then stopped moving.

Ji Chi lay there stiffly for a few seconds, moved towards the wall of the house, and squeezed his head accordingly, but his body did not move any more.

Not long after, Yu Yu fell asleep peacefully, but Ji Chi didn't feel sleepy at all, instead he lay awake more and more.

In the afternoon, Yu Wu woke up and went out to hunt in high spirits.

Ji Chi lay down for a while but couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and went to the rattan house.

He packed the dried grass blades from the roof into the husks before he started heading north with his bow and arrow.

Usually, he just circles around the rattan house and hasn't walked back, so he has no other prey except the red-haired rabbit.

He wants to see and see, and above all he wants to hunt.

After walking for about 500 meters, Ji Chi didn't encounter any prey, but found that the poria cocos that could be seen everywhere gradually decreased, perhaps due to soil problems, but after another 200 meters, they disappeared completely.

He observed it carefully, and found that there are mostly nut trees here, and the trees are covered with various fungi. Many places on the ground are very wet, and the moss on them is thicker and thicker than other places.

Ji Chi stepped on it a few times, and it was very soft.He took a piece of wood and wanted to check the color of the soil, but after digging twice, he came across a hard object, and when he dug deeper, the object disappeared. Ji Chi felt strange, so he found another piece of soft wet ground , As soon as he exerted force, he directly inserted the wood in. Sure enough, the wood first encountered an obstacle, and then pierced in very easily.

Only then did Ji Chi dig up the ground, and found that the obstacle was an oval-shaped animal, which was as big as a normal rabbit, with a smooth, hairless, gray body, and a head similar to a beluga whale, but with a smaller mouth and a nose. It is a small black spot with two hairs around it, and the most important thing is that its flesh tissue is soft and delicate.

The meat of large animals is inherently hard, but it will become even harder after drying, and it takes some effort to eat it. Right now, the meat of this animal seems to be more suitable for drying and storing.

Ji Chi wove a net with rattan nearby, closed his mouth, and simply made a net bag to put the gray animal with a head like a beluga whale just now.

He continued to find the soft ground and insert the wood directly into it as before, but he didn't catch another one several times in a row.

When he was about to change another place, there was a slight rustling sound from the grass not far away, but when he listened carefully, there was no sound.He quietly took out his bow and arrow, aimed at the grass where the sound came from, and waited quietly.

After about a stick of incense, there was no more sound from there. Ji Chi suspected that he had heard it wrong. Just as he put down the bow and arrow, there was the sound of grass being pulled away again. Ji Chi narrowed his eyes The hand shot an arrow directly.

Immediately, there was a muffled groan, followed by the sound of something falling.

Ji Chi walked over slowly, while pushing through the grass, he was ready to shoot another arrow at any time.

Who would have thought that there was no prey in the grass, but a person, to be precise, a child, the child who seemed to be called an imam.

He looked very embarrassed, I don't know how to do it, the black and thin body is covered with weeds and dirt, the most outstanding thing is his hair, which is messy like a bird's nest, and his lips are pale and chapped.

Ji Chi shot the arrow right into his shoulder, almost piercing his right shoulder blade.The wound was still bleeding, and his face was nothing but a little pale.

The arrow has no barbs, and the most important thing after pulling out is to stop the bleeding.

Ji Chi asked him to sit by the tree, found some hay from the surroundings, and lit it. When the fire was about the same, Ji Chi asked him to lie flat, put his hand on the shaft of the arrow, squeeze it hard, and pull it out, and the wound immediately sprayed out. There was a lot of blood, and the people below couldn't help but groan.

Ji Chi immediately sprinkled the burnt hay ash on the wound, and then tore off a piece of cloth to wrap it around his shoulders.

During this period, the imam watched all Ji Chi's actions with cold eyes, without saying a word or resisting.

Ji Chi glanced at him, who was staring at the fire in a daze.

Ji Chi stepped on Mars, picked up a wooden stick and continued to look for the "gray whale". He will step on it, which will probably startle it. He just needs to find a place with a lot of moss.

Finally, Ji Chi caught another one, this one was twice the size of the previous one, round, and the color was close to black. After putting it in the net bag, he continued to catch it. Just as he caught another one, he suddenly stopped all the others. The movement, he seemed to have overlooked something just now, it seemed to be a "hissing" sound, like a snake.

He slowly looked at the imam who had stood up and didn't know what to do, and found that his face had turned from pale to dead gray, and behind him was the boa constrictor that escaped after losing a pair of eyes.

Mottled bloodstains and traces of being stabbed by something could be vaguely seen on the boa constrictor, and the blind eye had already rotted, half of the head was stained with thirsty blood, and there were many mosquitoes hovering around.

Ji Chi felt nauseous in his stomach, but he didn't care. The most important thing right now was how to kill the boa constrictor. It was probably impossible to escape, because the boa constrictor had already moved.

It uttered snake letters, twisted its body, and stretched its head towards the nearest imam.

The python is very fast, Ji Chi can only survive if he is faster than it.He quickly picked up the bow and arrow and pointed it at the boa constrictor's eyes, and pulled the bow. In the blink of an eye, the arrow had already been released, and the arrow had already hit the remaining intact eye just as the boa constrictor opened its mouth, "Hiss With a sound, the blind boa constrictor became completely angry. It shook its head violently back and forth, revealing its body hidden in the bushes, and swept fiercely in the direction of Ji Chi.

Ji Chi released another arrow, and just before its tail swept over, it quickly rolled to the left, got up, climbed up the tree, and shot several arrows from top to bottom, all of which hit the snake's neck.

Sure enough, the head of the python that was shot in the neck gradually slowed down, but its body was still alive and well, almost breaking the tree where Ji Chi was.

Ji Chi jumped down from the tree and picked up a wooden stick. When the tail swept over, he nailed the stick and the snake's tail to the ground. The soil was soft, but the snake's tail broke off the ground after a few strokes.

But this time was enough for Ji Chi to grab the snake's head and cut it off with a jackknife.

The boa constrictor lost its head, but its body was still struggling violently. Ji Chi was not in a hurry. He rested for a while and waited for it to stop moving before starting to clean it up.

Perhaps it was because he almost fell into the belly of the snake just now, the imam's face was paler than before, and his flat body was leaning against the tree, as if he might fall down at any time.
