Chapter 8 Winter Survival (7)
"Wait." Ah Qing raised her hand, motioning everyone to stay still.
He tiptoedly checked the surroundings, sniffed the smell in the air, and lowered his voice, "It's a leopard."
"Leopard?!" Stone and Baiyan also tensed up, clenched their weapons tightly.
Xie drew out his saber, held it in his backhand, and stepped forward lightly, "Which direction are you going?"
Ah Qing pointed to the front.
Xie nodded, "Stay here for a while, don't move." He gently brushed aside the grass, and followed the slight traces on the ground.
Ah Qing didn't have time to stop him, and judging by his actions, he was also an excellent hunter. In order not to disturb the leopard who didn't know where it was, he could only wait where he was.
As soon as Xie sneaked forward for a certain distance, he faintly heard the low roar of the leopard, as if he was fighting with some prey. He thought for a while, found a taller tree and climbed up.
Through the gaps in the leaves, one can see a black-brown money-spotted leopard with a whole body of brown and yellow confronting a group of people, and the person standing in front of them holding a spear and looking cautious is Ke Tu.
Xie Yi got down from the tree, sneaked quietly towards Ke Tu, and finally stopped at a distance of about 20 meters from the leopard, ready to move.
Ke Tu stared at the leopard in front of him, feeling uneasy. This leopard was as long as a person, and it was agile, nimble and vigorous when it attacked just now, if it wasn't for Heitao's reaction, it might not be the arm but the throat that was bitten at this moment.
Leopards are ferocious by nature. The one in front of me has a flattened abdomen. It must have left the dense forest without finding food. Such a leopard will be even more ferocious. In terms of flexibility, people can't compare with leopards at all, and they must make quick decisions and hit them with one blow.
Ke Tu suddenly threw the spear in his right hand towards the opposite side. The leopard nimbly avoided the spear, twisted its body in the air, and raised its front paws after touching the ground. It jumped a distance of more than ten meters and pointed at Ke Tu's throat. and go. Its jumping direction is not directly facing Ketu, but draws an arc from the right. It seems that it is afraid of the people behind Ketu and plans to retreat with one blow, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.
Ketu watched the leopard getting closer and closer, and could see its mouth wide open for its throat, with saliva hanging from its sharp teeth. He gritted his teeth and turned sideways, sending half of his left arm into the leopard's mouth.
The leopard wailed in the air, and everyone rushed up, sending the weapons in their hands into the leopard's body.
Ketu pulled his left arm out of the leopard's mouth, together with the half of the stone spear he held in his hand - just now, he used this to penetrate the leopard's throat and seriously injured it.
Xie Yi walked over from the crowd and checked Ke Tu's injuries. Because of the pain, the leopard left two deep bone-deep wounds on Ketu's arm, and blood was flowing out, but luckily, no bone was injured.
Xie Yiyi admired him for his courage to win in danger, and he spoke with a tone of joking with his teammates, "It's amazing to feed a leopard with your body! Is there anything to stop the bleeding?"
Ke Tushou Even with such a serious injury, he didn't say a word, but the cold sweat was dense on his forehead. He reached into his arms with his right hand and took out a handful of grass.
This grass is the same as the hemostatic grass that Gesang used today, Xie Yi didn't talk nonsense, took it, crushed it and applied it on the wound. But the herbal medicine is obviously not enough, "Which one of you still has something to stop the bleeding?"
Someone next to him handed over the hemostatic grass, Xie Yi crushed it up and applied it to the wound, then he pulled off the animal skin and tore off a piece of cloth from his inner garment , ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, and bandaged the wound.
Heitao's injury was milder, and the medicine had already been applied. Everyone prepared to pack up their weapons and prey and leave.
Ke Tu stood up, walked around the leopard's body twice, and frowned. Strange, obviously seeing a flash of silver light made the leopard pause in the air before he had a chance to put the stone spear into its mouth, how could there be nothing?
"What's the matter?" Xie Yi knew what Ketu was looking for, but from the very beginning, he sneaked into the crowd attacking the leopard and took the saber back.
"Nothing." Ke Tu suppressed his doubts, and then remembered to ask Xie Yi, "Why are you here, aren't you digging a cellar in a cave, what happened?"
"Ah Qing and I came to find some planks and went back to lay the cellar. I just saw you here. Ah Qing is still waiting for us." Xie Yi pointed to the direction he came from.
Ah Qing and the others didn't know what happened here, they just saw that Xie Yi hadn't come back for so long, worried what happened, and were discussing to find him, when they saw the clansmen coming over.
"Patriarch, what happened?" Ah Qing's face was pale, and blood was still oozing from his arm, and he rushed to greet him.
"I hunted a leopard and was bitten by that guy." I don't know whether it's Ketu who is tough or a primitive man with a strong physique, but he can still stand and talk, "Ah Qing, how many more people can you bring with you?" Go carry the tree, and I, Heitao and the others will go back first, lest the smell of blood attract other ferocious beasts."
Xie Yi and Ah Qing quickly found the dead tree that Bai Yan had mentioned, there were two locust trees, one An elm tree is a good wood.
Sending back the wood, Xie Yi watched the primitive man's method of chopping firewood with great interest.
They first split a dead tree with a stone tool like an axe, and stuffed a piece of stone flakes flat at the bottom and wide at the top, and then used a big stone to smash the flakes in to split the trees, and then moved the flakes... The planks that were split in this way were not very smooth, but they were adequate.
Xie Yi secretly admired the wisdom of the ancients, and pulled Guoli, who was the supervisor, "Put the split wood outside the hole to dry for two days, and then spread it in the cellar to put sweet potatoes."
Guoli was a little disappointed, " Can't you use it now?"
"It's best to dry it for two days before using it, the sweet potatoes are not easy to spoil." Xie Yi knew that Guo Li attached great importance to this matter, and he returned to the tent after telling the details that needed attention.
Kemu was cooking, his eyes were red and swollen, it seemed that he had just cried. As soon as he saw Xie Yi coming in, "Brother Xie Yi."
"Well, what's wrong?" Xie Yi rubbed his head, "Are you worried about your brother?"
"It's just a little injury on the arm. There is nothing to worry about. It will be fine in two days." Ketu sat on the animal skin, his face was still pale, but he was in good spirits.
"That's not true. Father also suffered a little injury, but later died." Ke Mu was used to his elder brother's opinion, and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only mutter in a low voice.
In this day and age, the problem of wound bleeding is not serious, and wound infection is fatal. Xie Yi is glad that the wound on his left arm has almost healed, otherwise his bones would be buried in the wild.
"Tonight, let's make the bone soup I made last time. Don't put meat in it, it's not good for the wound, and roast some sweet potatoes." Xie Yi patted Kemu, "Go."
"Yes."
Xie Yi stepped forward Unwrapping the cloth on Ketu's wound, he found that the bleeding had stopped, and he only hoped that there would be no infection later.
"Don't worry. Look, there is no more bloodshed." Ke Tu's tone seemed to be coaxing Ke Mu.
Xie Yi didn't answer, but pulled hard on the hand that tied the cloth strips, successfully making Ke Tu's eyebrows frown.
