Chapter 58 Snake Cave! [Seeking for further reading]
The skeleton was sitting with its back against the cave wall, wearing a fine flowered jacket, but it was already dilapidated.
He held a hatchet in his hand, which had already been rusted.
A pair of eyes looked ahead with such hollowness.
Chen Yang had never encountered this before. No matter how brave he was, he would still be frightened by such a sudden attack.
The corpse has completely turned into bones, and the cause of death cannot be seen.
But this person must have died a long time ago. Judging from his clothes, he should be from the 1980s or 1990s.
With the hatchet in his hand, he is most likely a nearby mountain man.
Could it be Huang Can’s grandfather?
A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Yang's mind.
Huang Can said that his grandfather died in Mi Xian Gou, and his father also died in the mountains in order to recover his grandfather's body.
The time is right, let Huang Can come and take a look later.
"Chiji..."
At this time, seeing that Chen Yang had not followed for a long time, the Monkey King ran out of the cave again and pulled his trousers.
“Don’t be surprised if there are strange things! Don’t be surprised if there are strange things!”
Chen Yang bowed to the corpse, and then cautiously followed the Monkey King deeper into the cave.
The passage inside the cave is rather winding. After five or six minutes of going around, the space in front gradually widens and a cave appears.
The cave is as big as half a basketball court.
Empty.
The walls of the cave are densely covered with many holes like honeycombs.
Many of these holes should be connected to the outside world, with sporadic light coming in, making it barely possible to see.
When the wind blows, the air swirls and collides in the hollow, making a whining sound. The sound is like a whisper, like a scream, and sometimes like crying, which is quite scary.
The passage seems to have ended here.
Chen Yang took the flashlight and turned it around to take pictures. This place gave him a chill down his spine.
“Jiji!”
The Monkey King pointed to a hole in the cave wall, and immediately jumped in first.
Chen Yang followed closely behind.
The hole is not big, and the entrance is narrow, just enough to accommodate people, but after entering, the space becomes much larger.
The entrance to the cave is sprinkled with realgar powder, which has a pungent smell.
In the cave, several people were lying in various places.
"Uncle Daneng?"
Chen Yang saw Song Daneng at a glance.
He was sitting against the wall, head tilted, like a corpse.
Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked his breathing and felt his jugular veins.
Fortunately, he is not dead.
After a brief inspection, no wounds were found.
Chen Yang took a tube of physical strength juice, opened his mouth, and poured it in directly.
Not long after, Song Daneng's weak breathing gradually became heavier.
The color quickly returned to the pale face.
It seems that he is hungry and fainted from hunger.
At this time, Song Daneng's eyelids fluttered slightly, and then he opened his eyes.
The strong light caused his pupils to shrink suddenly, and his face wrinkled like orange peel.
Chen Yang hurriedly moved the flashlight away.
Song Daneng took a while to adapt, and then he saw Chen Yang's face clearly.
"Xiaoyang?"
"Uncle Daneng, how do you feel?"
"Huh, it seems okay."
Song Daneng breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, his hair was fluffy and his body was covered with dirt. Looks like a beggar.
"Why are you here?" After recovering his physical strength and feeling better, Song Daneng sat up straight and looked at Chen Yang in front of him, "You're not here to save me, are you?"
Chen Yang shrugged helplessly, "You have been in the mountains for so many days, and it rained heavily again. Everyone is worried about you, and the village organized a rescue..."
He briefly told the story.
Song Daneng's face was full of guilt, "It's all my fault for being obsessed with money, eh..."
It's hard to explain in one sentence.
“I won’t say too much, just be fine.”
Chen Yang patted him on the shoulder and then turned to look at the others.
There are seven people lying in the cave.
An old man, a young man and a woman, and the remaining four men in camouflage uniforms should be Han Baozhu's colleagues.
The conditions of several people seemed to be worse than Song Daneng, especially the old man, who was dying.
“Uncle Mighty, what’s going on with you guys?”
Chen Yang got a bottle of mineral water, poured a bottle of physical essence into it, and fed them two sips of water one by one.
After all, they were strangers to each other, so there was no need for him to be too generous. The two sips of water were enough to help them regain some strength.
“Hey.”
Song Daneng was a little speechless, “After finishing the dry food, these guys were so hungry that they picked some plums to eat. I told them not to eat anything in the mountains. They refused to listen, saying that plums are not poisonous..."
"It's hard to persuade the damn devil, but all of them vomited and had diarrhea after eating plums..."
< br>
Song Daneng's mouth was full of complaints.
Plums?
I think they are the plums on the plum tree outside.
He didn't eat, which seemed really wise.
Chen Yang pinched his nose. No wonder he felt a strange smell here just now.
There are so many people vomiting and defecation, I don’t know how spectacular it is.
“This old man is afraid that he will die.”
Song Daneng tore off the old man’s trouser legs. Half of his legs were black and swollen, and there were two teeth marks from snake bites on his ankles. .
Although Chen Yang fed him physical strength essence and his face recovered a little, his lips were blue, which was obviously poisoning.
“Do you know what kind of snake bites you?” Chen Yang asked.
"Five-step snake."
Song Daneng was very sure. He seemed to have thought of something, and panic flashed across his face, "You just came in and didn't see the snake?"
Chen Yang shook his head.
Song Daneng's face changed slightly and he reached out to grab Chen Yang's shoulders, "No, you have to leave here quickly. This is a snake's nest. When we came in..."
They came the night before yesterday When I arrived here, I encountered a group of snakes having a meeting. Hundreds of venomous snakes gathered together. Song Daneng still trembles when thinking about that scene.
If he hadn't carried realgar powder with him and found such a place to hide in time, he wouldn't have dared to imagine the consequences.
“Don’t worry.”
Chen Yang comforted Song Daneng, and then checked the situation with the old man.
The five-step snake, whose scientific name is the sharp-nosed adder, is very venomous. It is said that people bitten by it will fall to the ground if they cannot run five steps.
But the rumors are just rumors after all, and they are a bit exaggerated. No matter how violent the poison is, it will not make people unable to run even five steps.
There are cross scratches on the wound. It must have been treated and there won't be too much residual poison.
This should be enough to save his life, right?
Chen Yang took out the snake medicine Huang Can gave him, opened the old man's mouth, and drank it down.
Although he has the universal serum, he is not that generous. He is a stranger. He can feed you a snake medicine, which is already worthy of his conscience.
Huang Can boasted that his snake medicine was amazing. If he could not detoxify the five-step snake, his boast would be in vain.
After all, in the mountains of Shu, the five-step snake can be regarded as a very common venomous snake.
"Uncle Daneng, are these people here to hunt for treasure? Have you found the treasure?"
After taking the medicine, Chen Yang ignored him and asked Song Daneng instead.
