Squatting down, Chen Jie touched it gently with his hands and found that these things were a bit hot, estimated to be about fifty or sixty degrees.
After confirming that there was no harm, Chen Jie reached out and grabbed a large piece, put it in his hand and inspected it.
This thing is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and looks a bit like asphalt used for road construction.
Chen Jie observed it carefully, and his eyes lit up. He guessed correctly, it was salt.
Although these salts are relatively rough and not as fine as the ones he made with sea water before, this coarse salt can be used to help treat wounds and has excellent effects.
Especially this kind of pure natural coarse salt is simply a gift from God on a desert island. The healing effect of this kind of coarse salt is much better than ordinary salt.
Chen Jie dug it out with his hands and put some good coarse salt into his pocket, ready to take it back in case of emergency.
After getting the coarse salt, Chen Jie stood up and looked around. Only then did he realize that it was simply wishful thinking to go up the same path without a rope.
His current terrain is like a bowl. He is in the center of the bottom of the bowl, surrounded by mountains. There is no road for him to walk.
But he couldn't wait to die here. Chen Jie bypassed the old volcano and walked to another place.
Although this place looks small and is surrounded by high mountains, it is actually very large, with a diameter of about 20 kilometers, so Chen Jie walked directly to the other side.
I want to see if I can get directly to the center of the island.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the hot sun seemed to melt people. Chen Jie was extremely thirsty, so he took out the bamboo tube, took a sip, twisted the bamboo tube, put it on his body, and continued to move forward.
Even though he was a little tired, Chen Jie still didn't dare to stop. All the predators around him would probably smell his scent, especially under such a hot sun.
The sweat from his body will drip onto the ground, leaving a trail for predators to follow his scent.
Sure enough, an elephant ran from nowhere. When Chen Jie found it, the elephant was already less than one kilometer away from him.
One person and one elephant, looking at each other in pairs, a bit like a sense of déjà vu after a long absence.
Chen Jie reached for the ax and stared at the elephant.
The elephant looked at Chen Jie for a while, then raised his legs and walked towards Chen Jie, making a cry as he walked.
Chen Jie took a few steps back, and the elephant's roar became even stronger, as if it was pleading for something.
Seeing Chen Jie keep retreating, the elephant suddenly started running wildly.
Chen Jie was stunned for two seconds, turned around and ran back.
Suddenly there was no sound of elephants running behind him. Chen Jie turned around curiously and saw this incredible scene.
The elephant that was chasing Chen Jie just now knelt on its knees and howled in pain.
Chen Jie stopped, looked at the elephant's painful appearance, clenched the ax in his hand, and walked towards the elephant.
It's not that Chen Jie has a kind heart, but he firmly believes that everything in life has spirituality, even a tree or a piece of grass is alive.
Seeing Chen Jie approaching, the elephant stood up and walked back. After taking two steps, he quickly turned back and looked at Chen Jie, fearing that Chen Jie would run away.
Chen Jie walked to the elephant, reached out and patted the elephant, trying to appease the elephant.
The elephant suddenly stretched out its trunk and rolled up Chen Jie's body. When Chen Jie wanted to pick up the ax and hit the elephant, he felt his buttocks sink and he sat directly on the elephant's body.
"So you are going to carry me on your back." Chen Jie said softly, reaching out and touching the elephant's ears.
The elephant barked and quickened its pace.
With the elephant as a vehicle, Chen Jie also relaxed for a while. After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Jie looked at a baby elephant lying on the grass in the distance. There were also several vultures not far away, watching.
, as if waiting for the baby elephant to die, and then peck at the baby elephant's carcass.
The elephant roared, trying to scare away the vulture, but the vulture still stood there, watching from a distance, unwilling to give up the delicious food in his mouth.
When they came to the baby elephant, the elephant stretched out its trunk, rolled up Chen Jie's body, and gently placed him next to the baby elephant. Then the elephant bent its knees and knelt in front of Chen Jie, letting out a painful cry.
roar.
"Don't worry, let me take a look first." Chen Jie reached out and touched the elephant's trunk, trying to calm the elephant's mood, then turned to look at the baby elephant lying on the ground.
Chen Jie checked and found that there were scars on the baby elephant's legs, and blood was still flowing.
If it is not dealt with in time, the baby elephant is likely to bleed to death. Looking at the blood on the ground, covered with insects, ants and flies, Chen Jie frowned, waved his hand to drive away the annoying flies, and lifted the baby elephant
Elephant's legs.
The baby elephant was very weak at this time and had no strength to struggle at all. He was at the mercy of Chen Jie. Even his voice was pitiful. If he was not very close to the baby elephant, Chen Jie would not be able to hear it at all.
Chen Jie took out a machete and scraped off the rotten flesh on the little elephant's leg bit by bit. Seeing more blood flowing out, Chen Jie quickly picked up a cloth strip and tied it to the wound to make the blood flow slower.
Seeing the slow flow of blood, Chen Jie took out the coarse salt from his pocket, smashed it with a stone on the side, and turned it into fine powder. Chen Jie sprinkled the salt on the baby elephant's wound.
Because of the excessive pain, the baby elephant moved its body.
Chen Jie held down the little elephant's leg, took out all the cloth strips on his body, and tied it to the little elephant's leg. After bandaging, Chen Jie fed the little elephant the only half bottle of water left in the bamboo tube.
of mouth.
The elephant kept kneeling on the ground, watching Chen Jie's actions, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Okay, your child is fine." Chen Jie turned his head and said to the elephant's mother, then reached out and touched the elephant's trunk.
The elephant barked a few times, got up and walked away, leaving Chen Jie and the little elephant alone.
Chen Jie was not in a hurry. He stayed beside the little elephant and looked at the vultures in the distance. Chen Jie couldn't help but think of a report he had seen.
There is a photo of a little girl who is about to starve to death, and a vulture is waiting quietly aside, waiting for the little girl to die...
While thinking about it, Chen Jie heard anxious footsteps and looked up. It was the elephant mother who had just left. But this time there was something extra on the elephant mother, which turned out to be two bunches of bananas.
It had been a long time since he had eaten a banana, and he really missed it.
The elephant walked up to Chen Jie, took off the banana with his trunk, and placed it in front of Chen Jie, as if to express his gratitude.
Chen Jie smiled, picked up two bananas, and started eating.
After eating the banana, Chen Jie took four more bananas and fed them into the baby elephant's mouth.
