"I don't have any good methods." Li Qingshui walked up to the fat man to inspect his wound and said, "The spiders laid their eggs on him bit by bit, so we can only get it out bit by bit in the most stupid way." After all, if you don’t have any equipment, you can only do this.”
"But there are so many wounds, it's not easy to wash, and the most important thing is that we don't even have alcohol to wash the wounds." Liu Chang touched the wounds on the fat man and said: "There are so many wounds, if you wash them with water, you will definitely get rid of them." Infected, you can’t use your nails to dig inside the wound, there’s no other way.”
"There is really nothing we can do today. Clean up the spider eggs on the surface of his body first, and we can only talk about the rest tomorrow." Li Qingshui pinched off a piece of turquoise eggs on Fatty's body with his hands as he spoke. dropped on the ground.
"Don't throw insect eggs here. If they hatch, how can we live in the future?" Li Qingshui just threw the eggs on the ground, and the students objected.
"Don't worry, without the right temperature and prepared food, these spiders can't hatch." Li Qingshui ignored the students, and continued to clean up the fat man's wound with Liu Chang.
With more than a hundred wounds and spider eggs the size of millet, even just cleaning the surface of the wound is a very labor-intensive task. The two cleaned up carefully, not only afraid of tearing the fat man's wounds again, but also afraid of the bacteria on their hands infecting these wounds, so it took a lot of time to do it.
The two of them worked for about two hours before finally cleaning up the spider eggs on the surface of Fatty's body—this was only done with the help of Shen Mingyi and the soldier. And after doing all this, all four people were already too tired to keep their eyes open—everyone was too tired this day.
Everyone has experienced too much in these ten hours. From the moment they stepped into the jungle, no one has stopped. From the dodder at the beginning to the bristle spider at the end, everyone has brushed shoulders with death countless times, everyone's spirit is under tremendous pressure, everyone has driven the 80-kilometer jungle road, and everyone is exhausted I don't even want to flick my fingertips.
"Hey, brother, we can only do this today, I really can't do it." After cleaning the fat man's wound, Liu Chang sat on the ground leaning on the desk and smiled: "I really can't even eyelids now. I can't hold it anymore, so I won't talk nonsense with you, are you okay?"
"Uh...uh!" The fat man on the table murmured, and nodded his head with difficulty. Although his tongue was still stiff and unable to speak, it was much better than it was two hours ago.
"It's okay." Liu Chang grinned.
"Uh...uh!" The fat man murmured again, and muddy tears flowed from his eyes.
"What are you talking about." Li Qingshui stepped forward and looked at the stiff fat man, "You can't even tell the shape of your mouth, so don't bother, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow!" After Liu Chang finished speaking, he fell completely silent—maintaining his original posture and falling asleep.
And after Li Qingshui told the other two to be vigilant, he also sat down on the ground and fell into a coma.
After the two fell asleep, the two soldiers followed. The huge physical consumption, the injuries on their bodies and the mental pressure of the whole day made them unable to hold on in this relatively comfortable environment.
After the four fell asleep, the vigilant students on the other side saw these "dangerous elements" falling asleep, and gradually relaxed their vigilance and fell asleep on the ground.
The time was gradually approaching midnight.
This time Liu Chang slept very drowsily, so drowsy that he couldn't even maintain his usual vigilance—in the night, he actually heard some small movements dimly, but the movements were not close to him, and he could not Did not care. And after he heard the voice, he really wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on, but the huge amount of fatigue made him try to lift his eyelids several times as if he was "pressed by a ghost", but he didn't open it, and then he gave up. After this meaningless struggle, he continued to enter a deep sleep.
until dawn the next day.
When Liu Chang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Li Qingshui's back, and the second thing he saw was the fat man lying in a pool of blood.
"The fat man is dead." Li Qingshui stood in front of the fat man's body, turned to look at him, "My fault, I didn't notice the change in his mentality."
"How did he die?" Hearing Li Qingshui's words, Liu Chang's heart suddenly trembled, and then he stood up, "Didn't you have nothing to do yesterday, why did you die?"
"Suicide." Li Qingshui moved away, allowing Liu Chang to see the fat man whose throat was slit and the knife tightly held in the fat man's hand.
"Why did you commit suicide?" Liu Chang looked at the fat man's body, his mind buzzing.
"Look for yourself, he left a letter." Li Qingshui picked up a blood-stained white paper and handed it to him.
The paper was torn from the textbook, and the handwriting was stiff and trembling. It was obvious that when the fat man wrote this letter, his muscles had not fully returned to normal. After straightening the crumpled paper in his hands, Liu Chang looked down at the letter with complicated emotions.
"Brother Liu Chang, Teacher Li Qingshui, this letter is for you, and I will probably be dead when you read this letter. There are many things I want to tell you, but I am not good at writing, and I have a lot to express. I can’t write anything about it. So, let’s simply thank you. This decision is made by myself. You don’t have to feel sorry for me, because in fact, I have always had the idea of leaving everyone. After all, among the few of us In the small group, I have been living like a burden, being taken care of by you, or I think I might have died long ago. I always wanted to leave, but I was afraid to leave everyone, so I was conflicted all the way."
"Actually, I have always wanted to evolve some of my own abilities to help everyone. But the sky is against my will, how can so many good things happen to us, so, I, the fat man, is still the burden .”
"I sincerely thank you two, not only for taking care of me, but also for the friendship that risked your life to save me. In fact, when I fell into the spider web, I was already prepared to die, because to say something Ashamed, if I were you, I really have to think about whether I want to turn back. Therefore, I will never forget your friendship in my life. Therefore, I don't want to drag everyone down."
"I don't want to talk about how noble I am. The biggest reason I committed suicide was because I was really scared. When you carried me out, I saw what happened to the woman who was bitten by a spider. I don't want to be like her, that's too I am in pain. I would rather die cleanly with a knife than experience the pain of thousands of ants eating my heart. You don’t have to feel sorry for me, because I know my physical condition best, and you can’t save me. Those millets Insect eggs of average size have actually completely integrated into my blood, and the slight squirming feeling always tells me that they are about to break out of their cocoons."
"I can't wait until dawn. In fact, I feel that larvae have already hatched in the deepest part of my body."
"Thank you again for giving me this opportunity to die peacefully, instead of being the food of those spiders in the depths of the dark jungle. In my life, I really have no regrets to meet you two. I am sincerely grateful."
"By the way, there is Brother Liu Chang."
"Do you remember the joke you once made with me? Said that if I die, you will hang my finger on your chest, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise, give me a chance, let me be you Brother for life. Stay by your side, even my share will live together!"
At this point in the letter, the crumpled paper was not enough. Liu Chang found the last line of small crooked characters squeezed in on the edge of the paper: "Oh, yes, there is Xiaojing. If Xiaojing asks me , you must not say that I committed suicide, it seems that I am a coward if you say that. If she asks, you just say, I am fat, I miss my mother!"
This is the last sentence of the letter, and the signature is next to this line—"Li Shiyu (fat man) died on September 14, 2014"
After reading the letter, Liu Chang remained silent for a long time. Finally, he walked up to the fat man's body, took a last look at his rotten friend, and then took out a knife and cut off his index finger.
"This idiot actually committed suicide!" After cutting off his finger, Liu Chang put it in his pocket, his eyes reddened.
"He doesn't want to drag us down." Although Li Qingshui was still expressionless, his eyes dimmed.
"Ah!" Sighing heavily, Liu Chang picked up the little girl with one hand and the fat man's body with the other, and walked out of the classroom door.
"Since I don't want to die among the spiders, I will burn him and fulfill his last wish."
Liu Chang's back left with the sound. After a moment of silence, Li Qingshui woke up the two soldiers who were still sleeping.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go!"
"Where are you going?"
"graduate School!"
