Indiana Jones

Chapter 27

The things that Ma Zhong spit out were too shocking. Li Guoshou threw up after taking a look at them. It was so disgusting. It was clearly a group of entangled red bugs, more like earthworms, but not earthworms. The largest one was as thick as a pinky pencil After such a long time, they finally understood why Ma Zhong's mouth was full of mud. It must have been when these things got into his mouth.

"This... what is this?" Li Siming tried not to spit it out. Although there was nothing in his stomach, it had already stirred up the river and the sea...

Si Xuanyi resisted the powerful tossing and broke off a branch to pick up the ball, wanting to see what it was, but just when the branch in his hand was about to touch the thing, someone behind him called him to stop. With that slur, he jumped, and with a shake of his hand, a few red bugs were picked out and fell into a nearby mud pit. After twisting a few times, they got into the mud and disappeared.

"Scare me." Si Xuanyi couldn't help being furious when he saw that it was Agui who was yelling from behind.

"It's a red phosphorous snake, it's poisonous." Agui dropped a large handful of herbs and stepped forward to drag him away from the things he spit out. The charcoal fire came back without hesitation and fell on the lump of things he had spit out. The things sizzled and twitched for a long time before they stopped moving.

Agui wiped his sweat and sat on the ground with a face full of horror: "This kind of snake is only found in the depths of the primitive jungles of Yunnan and Burma. When it was very young, it liked to live in the rotting fluid of corpses, and grew up eating rotting corpses. There are also those who burrow into the stomachs of corpses, but I have never seen them burrow into the bodies of living things. As long as there is enough food, this thing can grow a foot long in a few days. The poison may be poisonous after the snake scales are hardened. Dead elephants, generally other beasts dare not get too close to places where this kind of snake is entrenched, no wonder Ma Zhong was not eaten by wild beasts last night, with these things, wild beasts did not dare to approach him at all."

"He...he still has it in his stomach." Liang Rong was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold and her face paled, pointing at Ma Zhong in horror.

Li Siming immediately tore off Ma Zhong's clothes, only to see that his stomach was wriggling non-stop, as if something was crawling inside, and he was not too small...

Everyone was shocked, how many little snakes crawled into his stomach?
"What should I do? Is there any help? Li Siming asked Agui, who shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard of such a situation. "

"Can you make him spit it out?" Si Xuanyi turned his head anxiously and asked Liang Rong, who shook his head desperately, daring not to approach Ma Zhong, but said from a distance, "Give him some water first. , it’s easier to vomit.”

Si Xuanyi immediately got some water and added a pinch of salt in it, and Agui also got some herbs, added them in, stirred them well, and then poured them down for Ma Zhong, the things in Ma Zhong's stomach moved even more under the stimulation of the salt and herbs It's amazing, Ma Zhong kept turning his face more and more ugly, even in a coma, he still felt unspeakable pain.

On the other side, Agui had already moved the bonfire away, leaving behind a large pile of charcoal fire. Several people carried Ma Zhong over reasonably. Si Xuanyi put Ma Zhong on his lap and pressed his knee against his stomach. Zhong's hair forced him to raise his head, Agui stood aside with a stick just in case, but Li Guoshou and Liang Rong stayed far away...

Ma Zhong retched a few times and only spit out a few mouthfuls of dark brown liquid. In the past two days, they lacked food and couldn't find food in the trees, so they were basically in a semi-starved state. There was nothing in their stomachs. Anyone who could vomit should be He had almost vomited, but the contents still didn't come out, but Si Xuanyi could clearly feel the contents in Ma Zhong's stomach wriggling from his legs, he pushed hard a few times, but it was still useless.

"Pick his throat with hands or other things, this part..." Liang Rong gestured on her neck, but she still didn't dare to go forward.

Si Xuanyi mustered up a lot of courage and finally put his hand into Ma Zhong's mouth. After some stirring, Ma Zhong finally spit out something after a burst of violent vomiting, a gun barrel as thick as an adult's forearm, The shiny red snake with scales was spat out. As soon as the snake landed in the charcoal fire, it bounced up. With a flash of red light, it hit Ma Zhong's face and bit it. The movement was so fast that Si Xuanyi hurriedly grabbed the horse. Zhong hid back, and Li Siming next to him had exactly the same idea, but the two of them exerted force in different directions, and they froze there...

Fortunately, Agui reacted quickly enough to push the snake back into the charcoal fire with a stick. The red phosphorous snake struggled violently and stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust, and was quickly scalded to death by the hot charcoal fire...

Now Ma Zhong's stomach was quiet, but several people were still worried, and fed him some water to induce vomiting, until he even vomited bile, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Rong checked Ma Zhong's condition and told everyone to rest assured that there was basically nothing serious, but he was a little weak, probably because he had tossed too much, his stomach injury was serious, and there were already obvious signs of gastric bleeding, which had penetrated into his stomach After throwing up so many things for such a long time, it is impossible for anyone to be alive and kicking. In addition, I have been exhausted physically and mentally from being too tired and frightened these days, so I haven't woken up yet.

In this way, after collecting all the things they needed, they moved to a higher and relatively dry place to sit down and rest. They heated up the fire, boiled water with helmets, and kept some to drink and some to wash their wounds. Rong didn't know where to get a sewing needle, used less fire, and took some thread from the clothes to help Li Siming and Si Xuanyi sew up the wound, because there was no anesthetic, the pain of the whole process could not be imagined. I know, but the two men didn't say a word, they gritted their teeth and came over. After that, Agui used charcoal ash mixed with crushed herbs to apply on their wounds. These medicines have a certain antibacterial effect and can reduce inflammation. Possibly, at the same time, there are some anesthetic ingredients in it, which can play a certain role in pain relief.

I cooked some wild vegetables and mushrooms with a steel helmet, and the two thick bamboo rats caught by Agui were the only thoroughly cooked food in the past few days. Although it was impossible to eat enough, it could still last for several hours.

After eating, several people sat down to discuss countermeasures. After the battle last night, they basically consumed almost all of their original ammunition. Si Xuanyi's Thomson had less than twenty bullets left, and Ma Zhong's 1903 Da Gai broke the butt of the gun, and all the bullets fell into the mud and could not be found. Agui's gun did not know where he lost it. On the contrary, Li Siming's Springfield M[-] sniper rifle was found, with a hundred rounds left Li Guoshou's bullets consumed half of the bullets, and Liang Rong's Browning had enough ammunition without firing a single shot, but everyone didn't expect her to provide any help.

After this heavy rain and nighttime distress, they finally got to know the jungle again, but they paid the price of consuming 90.00% of the food and more than 70.00% of the ammunition in the process. It can be said that they have run out of ammunition and food. The food problem here is the best solution, but if they don't have ammunition and they can't even deal with the beasts here, it's tantamount to a dead end...
