Chapter 277 Forced to return early (seeking the month
After three days of trekking, the group finally arrived at their destination.
A huge lake hidden deep in the mountains.
The green mountains and green trees on both sides of the bank are reflected in the clear lake water.
The group of people were shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
Taken together in two lifetimes, the beauty Yu Qingyang has seen is comparable to that of the Li River.
"So beautiful!"
“So beautiful!”
“It’s spectacular!”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
I completely forgot about the fatigue along the way!
Yu Qingyang, Xia Xue, and Cheng Yaozeng took out their cameras and took pictures.
However, the three people had different shooting purposes.
What Xia Xue takes is purely beautiful scenery.
What Cheng Yaozeng photographed was the surrounding geographical environment.
Yu Qingyang, on the other hand, focused his attention on the dam in front of him.
This is a natural dam formed by mountain collapse and accumulation of rocks.
Such naturally formed embankments may appear to be solid but are actually very dangerous.
It's like a dynamite bag.
Maybe there will be no problem for hundreds or thousands of years, but maybe a small crustal movement will cause the entire embankment to collapse.
Hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water in the lake poured down instantly.
The grasslands outside the mountains turned into Zeguo.
Such lakes have a name in the country, called barrier lakes.
Barrier lakes are lateral obstructions of natural dykes formed by rapid collapse, landslides, debris flows, accumulations produced by glaciers and snowmelt activities, or volcanic eruptions under certain geological and geomorphological conditions due to rapid collapse, landslides, debris flows, etc. of river valley banks under the action of dynamic geology.
A valley, river valley or river bed, a lake formed due to water blockage in the upstream section.
This huge lake deep in the mountains is a typical barrier lake.
…
On the naturally formed embankment, Yu Qingyang and his party sat on the ground.
On the roaring bonfire, bursts of fragrant aroma emerged.
Grilled snake meat.
A python to be exact.
On the way here, a blind python tried to attack them.
He was shot to death by Sun Jian and others.
It was fitting that this python would become their lunch. There was a huge dead tree near where the python was killed.
Now we even have firewood for the fire. If we continue to eat military rations, it will be unreasonable!
This was Yu Qingyang's first time to eat python meat. The plump python meat was roasted golden, sizzling with oil, and a strange aroma filled the dam.
Even Xia Xue, who had been excited to take pictures just now, didn't care about taking pictures at this time. She gathered around the fire, stared at the snake meat on the bonfire, and only swallowed her saliva.
Soon, Sun Jian sprinkled a layer of salt on the snake meat, first handed the roasted snake meat to Xia Xue.
In their eyes, this is the boss's wife. There is a saying that it is better to offend the boss than the boss's wife.
Then he handed it to Yu Qingyang.
Yu Qingyang was not polite, took it and took a bite.
Mmm, this tastes really good!
Charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
The meat on the outside is slightly crispy, and the meat on the inside is filled with thick juice.
Tender and refreshing.
When you take a bite, a strong aroma of meat bursts in your mouth.
Yu Qingyang swallowed a bunch of python meat in three mouthfuls.
Then he continued to stare at the bonfire, waiting for the next batch of python meat to come out of the oven.
After a while, the python meat that had just been grilled had been wiped out by everyone.
Everyone stared at the bonfire like wolves.
"There is still a lot of wood, Zhao Gang, you can make some more bonfires!
A campfire cooks too slowly!
Ou Yang, take someone with you to chop some more branches and come back!" Seeing that Sun Jian couldn't feed everyone by baking alone, Yu Qingyang simply ordered.
Use a machete to cut the dead wood into pieces, put solid alcohol on it and light it, and soon there were three bonfires.
At this time Ou Yang also got back many branches.
"Come on, let's do it together, do it yourself, and have enough food and clothing!" Yu Qingyang greeted everyone to make python meat skewers.
The skinned python meat was white, somewhat like garlic cloves, with blood on it.
It looks a little creepy.
Xia Xue is indeed a medical student. She took a knife and skillfully cut the python meat into pieces.
There is no fear or psychological discomfort like ordinary girls.
On the contrary, it worked quite vigorously.
Xia Xue cut the python meat into strips, and Yu Qingyang was responsible for threading it on skewers.
The two people work together in perfect harmony.
"Mr. Yu, when I was chopping branches just now, I found a lot of mushrooms. I'll pick them back and make mushroom soup!"
"Mushrooms? You have to be careful not to pick poisonous mushrooms!" Yu Qingyang explained.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu! Our troops are engaged in survival training, and we have learned how to identify whether mushrooms are poisonous or not!" Ou Yang responded, carrying a gun and walking into the jungle.
Yu Qingyang smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Also, people who have been trained in virgin forests can still not tell whether mushrooms are poisonous or not?
Continue to focus on threading.
After seeing through twenty or thirty strings, the bonfire guarded by Sun Jian over there was once again filled with the strange aroma of meat.
This means the second batch of snake meat is about to be cooked!
Although parasites generally live on snake skin, no one can guarantee that there will be no parasites or bacteria in python meat. Therefore, it is safer to roast it thoroughly.
While Yu Qingyang was waiting to eat, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the jungle.
Sun Jian stood up quickly, pulled out his pistol, and stared vigilantly into the depths of the jungle.
"Boss, it was Ou Yang who fired the gun!" Zhao Gang and several others came over with guns in hand.
"Zhao Gang, Lu Fan, you two come with me!
Zhang Liao, take everyone on guard!" Sun Jian finished the order and rushed into the jungle with Zhao Gang and Lu Fan.
Yu Qingyang also pulled out his pistol at this time and looked at Sun Jian's back nervously.
No wonder, Jasler and the others said that going into the mountains to get water would have to risk their lives.
The Berbers near the mountains would rather be thirsty than go into the mountains to get water.
Along the way, they experienced one wolf attack, two wild dog attacks, and one leopard attack. As for mosquito bites, they were nothing to worry about.
This was thanks to the two guides who were experienced and drove away snakes and insects in advance, allowing them to avoid many dangers.
If there is no guide, even if there are Sun Jian and others, some of them will die if they are not successful.
It seems that it is not easy to lead water to the bottom of the mountain.
The natural environment is too harsh.
While Yu Qingyang and others were waiting anxiously, Sun Jian, Zhao Gang and Lu Fan carried Ou Yang and ran out quickly.
"Quick, Ou Yang has been bitten by a snake! Get the snake venom serum quickly!" Sun Jian shouted as he ran.
Xia Xue turned around and ran towards the backpack.
He took out a small sealed silver medicine box from his backpack.
He held the small medicine box and ran towards Zhao Gang, "What kind of snake bit you?"
"Tree snake!" Sun Jian replied loudly.
"Tree snake? What kind of toxin? Neurotoxin or blood toxin?" Xia Xue had never heard of this kind of snake, so she simply changed the question.
"Neurotoxin!" Ou Yang raised his head and said weakly.
"Got it!" Xia Xue agreed, opened the medicine box, found the neurotoxin serum, and quickly injected it into Ou Yang.
Then he found several snake medicines to treat neurotoxins and gave them to Zhao Gang, who asked him to feed Ou Yang to eat.
At this time, Ou Yang was already in a semi-conscious state.
After applying the serum and feeding the snake medicine, Xia Xue began to treat the wound.
It was obvious that the wound had been treated.
Ou Yang should have dealt with it himself after discovering he was bitten by a snake.
Ou Yang was bitten on the back of his hand.
There is a shoelace on the arm, tied tightly.
This prevents snake venom from entering the heart along the bloodstream.
A way to slow down the onset of snake venom.
On the back of the hand, where he was bitten, there was a cross cut, and blood was still flowing out.
If it is a blood toxin, these methods of dispelling yang are still useful.
The problem is, he was bitten by a tree snake, which contains neurotoxins and bloodletting won't work at all.
It is estimated that District Yang is bleeding to detoxify, but it turns out that it doesn't work, but people can no longer return because of the snake venom.
Only then did a warning shot be fired.
Ou Yang made a deep wound on the back of his hand, almost severing his hand tendon.
However, several blood vessels were severed.
Xia Xue found the surgical bag and began to suture Ou Yang.
At this time, I don’t care so much anymore.
Whether it is infected or not, the first priority is to suture the blood vessels to stop the bleeding.
Otherwise, the snake's venom will not harm his reputation, but the bleeding may kill him.
"Mr. Yu, Amu said this is their ancestral snake medicine. It is very effective in treating tree snake venom!" Translator Xiaomi came over with the dark soup and said.
"Wait a moment!" Yu Qingyang looked at Xia Xue, who was suturing and bandaging the wound.
No self-assertion.
Don’t eat it randomly!
I just took a serum injection and took several kinds of snake medicine.
Who knows if there will be a conflict, it is better to wait until Xia Xue is finished and ask her for her opinion.
Xia Xue's movements were very fast. Several blood vessels were sutured quickly, and then the skin was sutured for tetanus.
After Xia Xue bandaged Ou Yang's wound, Yu Qingyang took the snake medicine given by Amu and stepped forward to ask Xia Xue's opinion.
Xia Xue directly took the bowl and poured it into Ou Yang's mouth.
"The medicine I just gave Ou Yang is a common medicine for treating nervous snake venom. It is a popular snake medicine!
This is not a snake medicine specifically for tree snakes!
We can only save our lives temporarily, but if we want to cure it, we still need this kind of snake medicine specially formulated for tree snakes!" Xia Xue explained after pouring the medicine into Ou Yang.
"Oh!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded.
There are no venomous snakes in Dongshan Province.
Yu Qingyang has not seen many venomous snakes. Speaking of which, the number of times he has seen venomous snakes may not be as many as the number of times he has eaten them.
Ou Yang was bitten by a poisonous snake, which directly affected everyone's mood at the dinner party.
I ate something hastily.
Arranging someone to take care of Ou Yang, Yu Qingyang took Cheng Yaozeng and others to start collecting data.
The snake medicine Amu gave me really works.
By evening, Ou Yang had regained consciousness.
However, a new problem arose. Due to wound infection, Ou Yang started to have a fever the next day.
There are countless bacteria in the tropical rainforest, and wounds are easily infected.
The knife Ou Yang used to cut his skin had come into contact with too many things and was full of bacteria.
They were rushed to bleed to save lives, but they were not sterilized.
Although Xia Xue used anti-inflammatory drugs, Ou Yang's wound infection was still unavoidable.
"Yangzi, Ou Yang must hurry up and return to the camp for treatment!
The current anti-inflammatory drugs are not very effective!" Xia Xue found Yu Qingyang.
"Okay! Go back!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
Although the data has not been collected completely, it is almost there.
It doesn't affect his design.
Yu Qingyang called everyone together and set off back to the camp.
Sun Jian cut down two small trees, made a simple stretcher out of vines, carried it up to Quyang and started to go down the mountain.
It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain.
However, since there is no need to clear the road when going down the mountain, it doesn’t take much time.
They arrived in the evening and found the mountain ridge where they camped on the first night in the mountain.
Rested one night on the mountain ridge and set off again the next day.
The mountain road was too dangerous at night. Although Ou Yang had a fever and weak limbs, it didn't look like his life was in danger.
So there is no need for you to take risks.
In the evening, Yu Qingyang offered to work the night shift with everyone.
As for Cheng Yaozeng and others, although they have good intentions, it is already good if they can not fall behind as they walk down the mountain road these days.
They cannot be expected to work the night shift.
Zhao Gang and Lu Fan, who were carrying Ou Yang, were also very tired.
The task of working the night shift fell to Sun Jian, Zhang Liao, Yu Qingyang and two guides.
Sun Jian was still on duty at midnight, Zhang Liao and Yu Qingyang were on duty from 11 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and the two guides were on duty from 3 o'clock to morning.
It has been four days since we entered the mountain and this is the fifth day.
Yu Qingyang is still not used to the night in the jungle.
Looking at the shadowy jungle in the dark, the howls and calls of various animals can be heard from time to time.
There are sounds of animals hunting, and there are also screams of animals being killed.
Although Yu Qingyang was not timid, he still felt like chills were rising from his pores.
There is infinite murderous potential hidden in the dark jungle.
"Zhang Liao, look over there!" Yu Qingyang gently pushed Zhang Liao, pointed to a big tree and whispered.
There are two small green light bulbs on the tree.
"That's a leopard! Don't worry about it, it doesn't dare to come over!" Zhang Liao took a look and explained with a smile.
Although he said it didn't matter, Zhang Liao still picked up the gun and turned on the safety.
Be prepared to shoot at any time.
The night passed in Yu Qingyang's nervousness and novelty.
The next day, in the evening, Yu Qingyang and his party finally walked out of the mountain.
At this time, Zhen Long, who received the news, was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain with his car.
Back at the camp, Ou Yang was sent directly to the medical room.
Hang an anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing hanging bottle.
Xia Xue began to clean Ou Yang's wound again.
At this time, Ou Yang's wound had become somewhat suppurative.
Cut open the skin, clean out the rotten muscle tissue, wash it with hydrogen peroxide, and then bandage it again.
"How is it?" Yu Qingyang did not return to the office and kept waiting in the infirmary.
Seeing Xia Xue coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"The wound is infected and inflamed. I have re-cleaned his wound. Let's see how it goes!
If the fever doesn’t go away by tomorrow, you will have to be sent to a big hospital like Geographic Glass!”
"Thank you for your hard work! Go take a bath and rest for a while!" Yu Qingyang reached out to touch Xia Xue's face distressedly.
Along the way, Xia Xue suffered a lot.
A girl who loves to be clean didn't take a shower for six days.
It was really difficult for her.
"You should hurry up and take a shower! You stink so much!" Xia Xue smiled and wrinkled her nose at Yu Qingyang, saying in disgust.
"Yeah!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
He turned to Sun Jian and others and said, "Ou Yang is being taken care of by a nurse. You should all go and wash up too!"
"Yes! Thank you Doctor Xia!" Sun Jian thanked Xia Xue.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do!" Xia Xue pursed her lips and smiled.
