Yan Liqiang recognized the poisonous snake as a gray-bellied rock viper at a glance. This gray-bellied rock viper likes to live in rocky places in the mountains. The color of the whole snake is also very similar to that of the stone. This gray-bellied rock viper is of course poisonous. If not treated in time, it can also kill people.
When Yan Liqiang came here just now, he took a special look at the environment around the crevice and found that there was no poisonous creature, so he let Salina stay here. He didn't expect that after he left, a gray-bellied rock viper would crawl over from somewhere and bite this woman.
The blood flowing from the broken snake body has not dried yet, and the blood on the ground has not spread yet, which means that the snake bite did not last long. If timely treatment is provided, the damage can be minimized.
Salina had fainted, and Yan Liqiang had no way to ask her any questions, so he could only check Salina's body himself to see where the wound was. To treat such snake bites, sucking out the venom when it circulates throughout the body is the first step to reduce damage.
At this moment, saving people is the most important thing, and Yan Liqiang can't care about so much else.
After a quick inspection of Salina's body, Yan Liqiang discovered a shallow mark on the inner side of Salina's right thigh above the knee. Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, took out a dagger he carried with him, and used the dagger to cut a one-foot-long slit in Salina's trouser skirt near the thigh. Sure enough, as soon as the trousers were cut open, Yan Liqiang saw the bite mark of the gray-bellied rock viper.
Right on Serena's thigh, the bite mark with two fangs of the gray-bellied rock viper was extremely eye-catching.
It's just... this position is too sensitive for women. If you want to take drugs, then...
After hesitating for just two seconds, and looking at the unconscious woman with a pale face, Yan Liqiang suddenly made up his mind...
I'm a doctor, I'm saving lives...
I'm a doctor, I'm saving lives...
In this constant psychological suggestion and self-hypnosis, Yan Liqiang leaned over and began to take drugs...
After taking the poison, Yan Liqiang waited until bright red blood flowed out of the wound on Serena's thigh and the dark blue color around the wound had diminished a lot before he stopped.
Feeling his lips and tongue were numb, just like chewing a peppercorn while eating, Yan Liqiang knew that this was the effect of the tiny snake venom penetrating into his mouth. He took out a medicine bottle from his body, took out an internal detoxification pill from the bottle, chewed it up and swallowed it, then picked up Salina, opened her mouth, and fed her a pill. Finally, he used a dagger to cut off a piece of Salina's skirt, crushed a detoxification pill, applied it on the wound, and bandaged the wound with the cut cloth strip. After a while, seeing that Salina's face gradually turned a little rosy, Yan Liqiang picked up Salina and jumped down from the crevice...
…
With a slight moan, Serena finally woke up. The first thing she saw when she woke up was a warm bonfire. The firelight illuminated the cave. Then she found herself lying on a piece of thick and soft black grass. She felt a strange feeling on her right thigh. Thinking of the scene where she was bitten by a snake before, Serena turned over and sat up, and reached her hand into her skirt and touched it.
In just a moment, Serena's face turned red.
Just then, footsteps were heard from the entrance of the cave. Salina looked up and saw Yan Liqiang had walked in. Seeing that Salina had sat up, Yan Liqiang tried his best to pretend to be calm.
"Are you awake?" Yan Liqiang said as he glanced at Salina, then walked to the bonfire and roasted the slices of meat skewered on a wooden stick on the stones on both sides of the bonfire. At this time, Yan Liqiang tried not to look at Salina's expression to avoid embarrassment.
"Well... Brother Long, is it... is it you who saved me again?" Salina asked in a low voice.
"Ahem... Ahem... Your condition was very dangerous at that time. If you don't take measures, taking medicine alone might not be enough. So, I treated you..." Yan Liqiang tried to speak in a calm tone, but when he said this, thinking of the white thigh in front of him, Yan Liqiang's little heart still beat a few times.
"Thank you, Brother Long!"
"Well, you're welcome!" There was really nothing to talk about this topic, so Yan Liqiang quickly changed the subject while grilling meat, "By the way, why did those Shatu people chase you today?"
“I don’t know either!” Salina’s eyes were a little hazy, revealing a reminiscence. “I left the tribe this morning, and originally planned to go to Eagle’s Beak Valley to collect herbs, but for some reason, when I arrived at Eagle’s Beak Valley at noon, I met the Shatu people. The guards around me… all… died in battle to protect me…” Thinking of those guards who died in battle, Salina’s eyes were filled with moisture again.
"Do those Shatu people usually go deep into the depths of Yulong Mountain?" Yan Liqiang asked.
Salina shook her head. "The depths of Yulong Mountain are very dangerous. The roads here are difficult to travel. In addition to all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, the people of the several tribes who escaped to Yulong Mountain also hate the Shatu people. We and the Shatu people are usually incompatible and are sworn enemies. So on weekdays, those Shatu people rarely dare to go deep into Yulong Mountain. If there are too many of them, they can't get in. If there are too few of them, they will be killed by the warriors of various tribes after entering..."
Yan Liqiang's eyes narrowed suddenly. "Besides your Dayue tribe, are the other tribes living in Yulong Mountain the Wusu, Cheshi, and Pi Le tribes that originally settled in Gulang Grassland?"
"The Cheshi tribe now lives in the Qiyun Mountains. The only tribes living in the Yulong Mountains are our Dayue tribe, the Wusu tribe, and the Pilu tribe. As for the Shali and Suluo tribes, they have already migrated westward after the Shatu people came. I heard that they are now living in the Gogol Desert..."
Yan Liqiang nodded. "I see that you are well-spoken and knowledgeable, and you have guards around you. You should not be an ordinary person in the Dayue tribe, right?"
Salina hesitated for a moment before she said frankly, "I am the daughter of the chief of the Dayue tribe, and I will inherit the position of chief of the tribe in the future!"
"I see!" Yan Liqiang understood all of a sudden. After thinking about what happened to Salina, he spoke again, "You said that you and the Shatu people are enemies for generations. Is there anyone in your tribe who advocates reconciliation with the Shatu people?"
Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Salina's eyes widened in astonishment, "Brother Long...you...how did you know?"
"This kind of thing is not new at all, it's too old-fashioned!" Yan Liqiang smiled, "You just need to think carefully about what happened to you today and you will understand. If someone in your tribe who knew your whereabouts had not informed the Shatu people, how could those Shatu people have come to the Eagle's Beak Valley to ambush you in advance? We encountered more than a hundred Shatu people today. According to what you said, these Shatu people entered the depths of Yulong Mountain, which is already a lot of people, but they were not discovered and did not get lost. It is obvious that someone is cooperating with them. With your special status in the Dayue tribe, if these Shatu people caught you, then they can probably force your Dayue tribe to surrender..."
Salina was stunned for a moment, muttering to herself, "Could it be, could it be Elder Ge Zong..."
"Don't think too much. Since their plan today has failed and they can't catch you, their subsequent plans will naturally fail. When your tribe members find out you're missing, they will naturally be on guard. Nothing will happen for the time being. As long as you return to the tribe safely tomorrow, all problems will naturally be solved..." After saying this, Yan Liqiang flipped over the two skewers of barbecued meat in his hand, then took out a metal can from the stone next to the campfire, took some salt from the can, and sprinkled it on the meat slices. "Come and eat something. After eating, your body will recover... recover faster!"
"Yes!" Salina responded obediently, and sat down next to Yan Liqiang. She looked at the metal salt jar that Yan Liqiang placed next to the campfire, and asked, "Brother Long, are you practicing in Yulong Mountain?"
"Smart..." Yan Liqiang laughed.
This salt is the daily necessities that Yan Liqiang brought with him during this retreat. There is no other way. During the retreat, it is okay to not eat, but it is not okay to not eat salt. The body will have problems, so Yan Liqiang brought some with him. Another reason is that Yan Liqiang cannot stand not brushing his teeth for several months, and salt is a must for cleaning teeth, so he brought it. Salt is something that even peerless masters cannot do without. From this point of view, you can see how important salt is. It was also after his retreat that Yan Liqiang realized that in the movies and TV shows he saw in his previous life, a certain master or protagonist ran to an uninhabited valley or cave by himself to practice some peerless magic skill, and came out alive and well in the world three to five years later. That plot is absolutely nonsense. If you don’t carry salt with you, at most three months, the protagonist and the peerless master will be useless if they don’t eat dirt...
After sprinkling salt and wild cumin and peppercorns from the mountains, the aroma of barbecue soon filled the cave...
Yan Liqiang handed a skewer of grilled meat to Salina.
"Brother Long, you are so nice..." Salina smiled sweetly at Yan Liqiang. Her charm made Yan Liqiang stunned. When she took the kebab handed over by Yan Liqiang, Salina's hand touched Yan Liqiang's hand intentionally or unintentionally...
Yan Liqiang had a thought, and suddenly a mischievous idea flashed through his mind. He wanted to see what was in Salina's mind at the moment, and the mind snake immediately transmitted the thoughts and images in Salina's mind to him...
"Ah, Brother Long, why are you bleeding from your nose..." Salina exclaimed...
