Chapter 1658 - 1658
Ruan Yu screamed and felt a little startled, jumping away.
Weng Xingban heard the sound and quickly turned back, running back in a hurry.
He glanced at the ground and indeed saw Liu Zhizhong trying to open his eyes but unable to, his lips moving slightly but unable to make a sound, only a murmur from his throat, like a groan of pain?
In this situation, the two of them were at a loss, staring at each other without any idea.
However, since Ruan Yu was a girl, with a softer heart, she hurriedly reached out to remove the leeches from Liu Zhizhong's body and waved away the flies that were gathering.
"Brother Xingban, don't just stand there! Hurry up and help! He's still alive! A life is at stake! What if..."
As she spoke, Ruan Yu, bright and clever as always, continued excitedly, "He's likely a pilot, right? His family must be quite wealthy. If we save him and find his family, wouldn't they be grateful? Then we wouldn't have to work so hard fishing to pay off debts!"
"Uh… ah, hmm, Ah-Yu, you have a point!"
Weng Xingban then snapped back, remembering the debts he and Ah-Yu owed, and quickly joined to help.
The two of them kept pulling the leeches off Liu Zhizhong while driving away flies and mosquitoes.
Some leeches clung too deeply to Liu Zhizhong's body; some couldn't be pulled out, and some even broke off.
But in such a situation, they had a solution. They surprisingly found some strange herbs in the mountains, lit them up, and smoked near where the leeches were attached. The leeches that couldn't be pulled out shrank away on their own, and the broken bits also followed.
There's always a way to coexist between humans and nature, one environment nurtures its people.
Once the leeches were cleared off Liu Zhi's body, Weng Xingban went back to the boat and got his bottle of homemade liquor, took a big mouthful, and sprayed it wildly all over Liu Zhizhong.
His body had too many wounds—red, swollen, and festering; there were larvae hatched from fly eggs—the wounds needed to be treated first.
Weng Xingban's liquor was high-strength corn liquor. The Vallebang rainforest plains produce corn, the cobs are quite large and of good quality, making the liquor quite pure.
Once sprayed with the high-proof liquor, haha, even the flies and mosquitoes stopped buzzing around Liu Zhizhong. The maggots on the wounds fell off one by one; somehow, the scene was almost relieving?
And Liu Zhizhong, ah, his body full of wounds, with the high-proof liquor stinging, oh it was indeed sour and refreshing.
He groaned in a deep, hoarse voice, his whole body trembling, veins bulging on his forehead, wounds on his face dripping liquor mixed with blood, looking quite horrific, very tragic.
The sight made Ruan Yu's heart race, she gasped twice, turned her back, unwilling to look any longer.
Weng Xingban chuckled, patting Ruan Yu's shoulder, "Looks like he's really lucky to survive, isn't it! It's good he's alive! Come on, let me spray him well to disinfect him!"
Thus, Weng Xingban sprayed the front, then the back of Liu Zhizhong, not missing a single spot.
Furthermore, the liquor seeped into his pants, soaking even little Zhizhong's injuries, that sour and refreshing sensation… caused Liu Zhizhong to clench his teeth and fists, trembling, almost wanting to roll over, but he was too weak to move.
Eventually, when the pain became unbearable, Liu Zhizhong fainted again...
Once everything was settled, Weng Xingban said, "Let's go, Ah-Yu, let's take him back to the village and find Grandpa Lou for help..."
