One second the sky was bright, the next it was night.
Ji Xiaoou raised his head, the stars were shining brightly above his head, the bright Milky Way spanned the entire starry sky, and every star could be seen very clearly.
A dazzling meteor flashed across, and then disappeared at the end of the horizon. It's as beautiful as a fairy tale I read when I was a child.
It's a pity that now Ji Xiaoou is not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery, and his heart is full of shock.
There is no transition from day to night, and it gets dark suddenly.
Is there no sunset here, no twilight
Before he had time to think about these questions, Ji Xiaoou suppressed the shock in his heart, and found a big tree that was neither tall nor short by the thin starlight above his head.
After fumbling for a long time, he took out the carabiner and climbing rope from the backpack. These should belong to the sports committee member Chen Bin. Ji Xiaoou remembered that before he came to travel, he once said that he would go to the back mountain to climb the mountain. Now that they appear in her bag, Ji Xiaoou has mixed feelings.
Thanks to these two things, Ji Xiaoou was able to climb up the tree smoothly and spend the night safely.
It was all right at night, except that the temperature was a little low. Fortunately, there were blankets and sleeping bags in Ji Xiaoou's "space".
Ji Xiaoou deliberately set the alarm clock at 5:30 in the morning, wanting to confirm whether what happened last night was her illusion.
There is no sunset here, is there no sunrise
I opened my eyes and waited until 5:59, and it was still pitch black. However, when the minute hand coincided with the second hand and the hour hand pointed to the number "6", it was as if a huge hand lifted the curtain, and the sky dawned without warning. up.
The sun burst out, piercing through the thick and dense leaves, and sprinkled on the top of Ji Xiaoou's head.
Ji Xiaoou sat on the branch in a daze, her eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden light, which made her squint.
Opening it again, looking at the sunny forest, Ji Xiaoou couldn't recover for a long time.
This place is really strange, and there have been many doubts since yesterday. Ji Xiaoou forced herself not to think deeply, but the scene in front of her made her unable to remain calm.
Where on earth is there no dusk and dawn
Where else is the alternation of day and night so distinct, like a dichotomy
Is she ignorant, or is she in another world
This thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Xiaoou froze.
The morning breeze whirled through the treetops, and the goosebumps on her arms popped out.
If it's true…
No, no, she can definitely go back! I just didn't find the right way yesterday. Today, as long as I find the way out of the forest, I will be able to return to the top of the mountain and meet the teachers and classmates in the class.
Mom and Dad are still waiting for her to report that she is safe when she arrives at the place. She cannot be trapped here.
Ji Xiaoou tidied up the blanket and sleeping bag, put them back into the backpack, and slid down to the ground along the climbing rope.
There is a stream nearby, the water is clear, and the bluestone can be seen. Ji Xiaoou went over to wash his face and felt refreshed.
A delicate and small face is reflected on the water, with white skin and red lips, which is naturally beautiful.
The girl was good-looking, and even the slight frown was pitiful.
I didn't notice it just now, but now Ji Xiaoou felt pain in the soles of his feet.
She took off her single shoes, lowered her head, and saw two transparent blisters on her palm.
I walked for four or five hours yesterday, and the road in the forest was rough. I didn't feel much at the time, but now I feel the pain.
Ji Xiaoou sniffled, a little aggrieved.
Ji's father and Ji's mother are old enough to have a son, and she is the only daughter. Usually she has a headache and brain fever and is extremely nervous, and it hurts to hold her in the palm of her hand. Now she is alone, in the wilderness, and no one knows that she was injured.
Ji Xiaoou was sad for a while, then pulled himself together, hastily dealt with the blisters on his feet, rummaged through the space, and found a pair of white sneakers. I don't know which girl brought it, but I tried on the size, and it was just right, so I didn't care so much, I just put it on my feet and continued on the road.
Not far away, Ji Xiaoou inadvertently lowered his head, and saw some mottled blood mixed with the green grass on the ground.
The blood dried and turned reddish red.
The surrounding environment became more and more familiar, and she had a bad premonition. Sure enough, in front of him, there was a familiar big tree engraved with the four numbers 1002. Under the tree, a small figure with mottled patterns was lying quietly, and Ji Xiaoou felt a "thump" in his heart.
She was back where she was.
It was dark last night, Ji Xiaoou didn't see the surrounding environment clearly, seeing the strange trees in front of him, he thought he had gone a long way.
Little did they know that the tree where she slept was only tens of meters away from this "1002".
Why can't she get out of this place? Apart from panic, Ji Xiaoou was more puzzled.
There are often mazes in ancient costume TV dramas. The seemingly identical environment is actually hidden in every step. If you take a wrong step, the result will be very different.
Could it be that she is also in a maze now
"Woolulu" a small voice brought Ji Xiaoou back to his sanity.
Ji Xiaoou looked around and saw that the little leopard buried in the leaves was dying, lying motionless on the ground, and it was the one that made the sound just now.
It was like a groan that rolled and overflowed from the depths of the throat.
Ji Xiaoou walked over, and slowly pulled off the leaves on its body, and when he saw the injury on its hind legs, he was stunned for a while.
It was far away yesterday, and she didn't look carefully, and saw that the flesh around the wound was festered and festered, the hair was congealed, and a few small insects were crawling around inside.
Wasn't he able to walk yesterday? Why is it like this today
Maybe Ji Xiaoou accidentally touched its wound, the little leopard grunted twice, raised his eyelids, and looked at her with dark blue eyes.
Its eyes can't be called friendly, it's probably the instinct of an animal when it's dying, and it's full of vigilance and suspicion about everything.
If it hadn't been seriously injured, Ji Xiaoou would have believed that it would have jumped up and slapped itself with a paw.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoou couldn't protect himself, and he didn't want to save it at first, who knows where its parents are, why it was injured, and why it appeared here, will it cause a lot of troubles later? But holding its small body, she changed her mind again.
So small, not as big as her domestic American shorthair cat.
It can save a little bit.
Ji Xiaoou came to the stream with the little leopard in his arms, squatted down, supported its forelegs with one hand, and scooped up a handful of clear water with the other to gently clean the wounds on the outside of its hind legs.
The wound was deep, not like being wounded by a sharp object such as a bear trap, but rather like being caught by some wild animal.
Could it be that he was snatched away from his parents by wild beasts and then escaped by himself
Ji Xiaoou cleaned the wound of the little leopard, put it on the clean grass, took out the "space" in the backpack, and was about to take out the medicine box to treat the wound of the little leopard, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from a distance. wolf howling.
Ji Xiaoou paused.
The little leopard opened his eyes, his eyes were heavy, a little different from before, and his body tensed up quickly.
At first Ji Xiaoou thought he heard it wrong, but soon, the cry sounded again, and it tended to get closer.
Listening to the sound, it seems that there is more than one wolf.
I heard that wolves live in packs, judging from the constant barking, there should be a pack of wolves on the opposite side.
Ji Xiaoou tightened his grip on the backpack, stood up and wanted to run.
Ji Xiaoou thought he would meet a beast, but he didn't expect it so soon. She was unfamiliar with this place, so she didn't know where to hide. In addition, she lost her way in this forest, and was in a hurry, zipping up her zipper in a hurry.
Something fell out of the backpack and fell to the ground.
When I picked it up, it was a circular compass. The four directions "N, S, W, E" are marked on the top, and the scale is excellent.
Before departure, Ji's father was worried that Ji Xiaoou would get lost in the mountains, so he stuffed it into her backpack for emergencies.
Ji Xiaoou didn't take it to heart at the time, and he forgot about it afterwards.
Now her eyes are bright, she needs this thing too much now.
After confirming the direction with the compass, Ji Xiaoou put on his backpack and looked back at the little leopard lying quietly on the ground.
It was also looking at her, with deep-set pupils, unhurried, neither dodging nor dodging.
There was a dim light in the dark blue eyes.
How strange, Ji Xiaoou thought, that she could see human emotions from the eyes of a leopard
Was it pitying her just now
"Aww—"
The wolves howled one after another, as if they were approaching.
Ji Xiaoou gritted his teeth, without thinking too much, he stepped forward and hugged the little leopard into his arms, and ran down the stream.
After putting on the sneakers, running was really much easier. While Ji Xiaoou was careful not to touch the little leopard's wound, he lowered his head to pay attention to the compass.
With a compass to guide the way, Ji Xiaoou headed south all the way, and walked very smoothly. After a while, he walked out of the forest, and the howling of wolves behind him gradually disappeared. She glanced down at her watch and walked for two hours unknowingly.
She gasped for breath, the danger disappeared, and she felt extremely tired.
As soon as his legs were weak, he sat on the ground leaning on a tree trunk.
The palm of his hand was sticky and greasy, Ji Xiaoou spread his hand, and saw that it was covered with blood. Shocked, she quickly checked the little leopard in her arms.
She ran too fast just now, and there were many obstacles in the forest, so she walked very unsteadily. The little leopard's already solidified wound was split open again, and it was bleeding out. The wound was so deep that the bones could almost be seen. It hurt even when she looked at it, but it didn't make any sound from the beginning to the end.
"It's not going to die, is it?" Ji Xiaoou murmured, stretched out his fingers and tapped its round ears lightly.
The little leopard moved its ears, and then slowly opened its eyes, and the blue eyes met her.
Ji Xiaoou originally thought it would get angry, but he just looked at her for a while, then turned back silently, without making a sound.
Probably because the pain was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to move, Ji Xiaoou thought to himself.
Now that it has escaped from danger, the most urgent task is to treat its wounds first.
Ji Xiaoou rested for a while, turned around and used the MCM backpack as a cover, and took out the medicine box from the space. She opened the box and took a look. It contained a complete set of medicines, including alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, antipyretics, hemostatic medicines, and medical gauze.
Ji Xiaoou has cats at home, so he is no stranger to taking care of cats.
But it was the first time to deal with such a deep wound.
She stabilized her hands, first sterilized a silver knife with alcohol, gently pressed the injured hind limb of the little leopard, and carefully scraped off the carrion and festering around the wound. The little leopard let out a low cry, her hands trembled, and her strength inadvertently increased. The little leopard's eyes flashed coldly, and she blurted out: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."
After finishing speaking, I realized that it didn't understand. I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why did she apologize? Because of the displeasure in its eyes
After cleaning up the carrion, Ji Xiaoou disinfected the wound with disinfectant, stopped the bleeding, applied medicine, and then picked up gauze to bandage it.
She carefully wrapped around the little leopard's hind legs a few times, and tied a beautiful bow in the last circle.
You're done.
Ji Xiaoou nodded in satisfaction, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the little leopard, who had been standing steadily, suddenly leaned forward and fell straight to the ground.
Ji Xiaoou was taken aback and quickly caught it.
As soon as she touched its body, she realized that its temperature was a little abnormal. The constant temperature of cats is higher than that of humans, generally around 38 degrees, but obviously, the temperature of this little leopard is even higher than 38 degrees.
Have a fever
Ji Xiaoou touched its ears and meat pads again, they were really warm. It may be that he was seriously injured last night and spent another night in the wild, so he has a fever at this moment.
Ji Xiaoou rummaged through the medicine box and found a thermometer from inside.
The cat's mouth can't hold the thermometer. When Ji Xiaoou took the temperature of his Mei Short in the past, he always stuffed the thermometer into the cat's anus.
Holding the thermometer, she put the little leopard flat on her lap, and was about to do the same.
The thermometer had just touched its anus and hadn't been put in yet. The little leopard probably guessed what she was going to do, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He struggled violently, swung his front paws down, and stared fiercely with blue eyes. Looking at her, a glint of anger flashed.
