Text Chapter 2: Injury
The soil on the back of the wild dog splashed, and a piece of rope flew up from the mud, and went to the hind legs of the wild dog!
The wild dog was alert and kept paying attention to the movements around it. Before the rope ring was tightened under its legs, it had already strung forward, and the rope ring rubbed the wild dog's hind paws and flew away.
At this time, the second hemp rope in Chen Xiao's hand had been tightened. The middle part of the hemp rope was buried in the soil, and one end was tied to the opposite tree trunk. Chen Xiao's end turned around the tree branch, and the head of the rope was tightly held in his hand. When he was tightened, the middle part of the hemp rope had broken out of the ground, and the sharpened wooden arrows on it also pointed at the wild dog.
Because of a sudden change, the wild dog was too powerful to rush forward and its body flew into the air. When it was discovered that it was ambush, it could not avoid it. Two of the wooden arrows were inserted diagonally into its neck and left front leg, and the injury was already reached! This was not a wooden arrow stabbing it, but it took the initiative to rush towards the wooden arrow like a moth throwing a fire.
The wild dog screamed with a terrifying sound, and turned his head and rushed forward. The wooden arrow stabbed even deeper, but the power gap between Chen Xiao and the wild dog was huge. When the wild dog tried hard to break free, Chen Xiao could no longer control the rope in his hand and could only let go.
At this moment, Chen Xiao quickly grabbed the third rope next to him and pulled it hard!
In front of the wild dog, a hatchet suddenly broke out from the ground again, and the tip of the knife was tilted upward. The wild dog never thought there was a third ambush. Moreover, it was in a brutal pain and actually hit the hatchet again. The hatchet entered the wild dog's abdomen for more than half a foot!
The wild dog rolled on the spot with another wail. After a while, it finally disappeared.
Chen Xiao waited for a long time, and saw the wild dog jumping down from the tree silently, and glaring at the dead dog fiercely: "I'm so tired of living when I dare to compete with you for territory!" He was full of thought, and he completely forgot the embarrassment he was caught up with the tree yesterday.
Chen Xiao began to pack up his tools and prepare to go home. He will be able to fish safely tomorrow. He even beat such a big wild dog. He should be able to exchange a lot of rice and flour when he went to the Wang family. Chen Xiao felt very happy.
Just as he was about to pull out the wooden arrow and hatchet and pack the rope, a change began again! The wild dog that had no movement before suddenly stringed it up! He opened his mouth and went straight to Chen Xiao's throat and bit it!
This beast was not dead yet. It was so sinister that it knew it had been a plot by someone else, so it had some strength to lie down and pretend to be dead, and then launched a surprise attack when the person who attacked it was approaching.
Chen Xiao would not have thought that this beast was so cunning and was about to suffer when he was unprepared. In desperation, he could only stretch out his left arm to resist. The wild dog grabbed Chen Xiao's left arm and shook his head and shook it wildly, trying to throw him to the ground and then take another fatal blow.
Chen Xiao's arm hurt, and he was so painful that he was pumping the air conditioner, but he was clenched in his hands and was shaken by the wild dog and couldn't stand firmly, so it was difficult to pull out the wooden arrows and hatchets inserted into the wild dog.
Chen Xiao thought to himself, "My life is out of danger today! If my mother knows, I will not be sad!" He suddenly felt a hard object in his chest in a hurry. It turned out to be the black stone egg. He didn't care about thinking about it, and reached out to take out the stone egg and smashed it hard at the dog's head.
The wild dog was even more manic when it was smashed, and the man and the dog started a desperate battle in the valley.
Chen Xiao didn't remember how many times he smashed, and the pain in his arm gradually became numb. Finally, the wild dog gradually lost strength because of his severe injuries before, and finally fell to the ground and died.
Chen Xiao collapsed on the ground tiredly. After a while, he calmed down and looked towards his left arm. He saw that the torn skin on his forearm was so deep that his bones were visible. There was no bleeding around him, so he had to tear a corner of his clothes and tighten the wound and bandaged it briefly. He didn't care about the pain and got up and ran to the cave. He didn't dare to let his mother see this way.
He was injured and lost a lot of blood. He stumbled along the way, and it was already noon when he arrived at the cave.
After entering the cave, he searched around, but found nothing to be used. The cloth that bandaged the wound had been soaked in blood. There was no way to simply bandage the wound again with the old cloth covering the bones.
After two years here, Chen Xiao is no longer as afraid of the bones as he was at that time. Sometimes he even cleans up the surrounding ground and old cloth. After all, my mother said that the dead are the most important!
Chen Xiao was so tired that he leaned against the wall next to the bone and fell asleep drowsyly.
After calming down in the cave, his wound slowly oozed out again, falling drop by drop, and by chance it dripped on the left hand bone of the white bone. However, the corpse seemed to have been hungry for a long time, sucking nothing left of blood.
Half an hour later, the bones slowly changed as if they had absorbed blood. A light red light lingered on it and gradually restrained it. It was white and decreased from the skull and foot bones, and replaced by ordinary gray-black. Drops of milky white liquid flowed down from the index finger of the left hand slowly squirmed, gradually forming a white ball as dazzling as an emperor's pearl. When the white ball was round, the index finger finally stopped dripping liquid, and the entire bones had become as dark and ugly as ordinary corpse.
The white ball was like a living creature. After a while of silence, it flew towards Chen Xiao's left arm as if it had found a home, and penetrated into the old cloth and attached it to the wound.
Chen Xiao's left arm was covered with white light, and it disappeared after a long time. The white ball disappeared, and his wound seemed to be blessed by immortal magic and blessed by magic, but it actually recovered as before. The previous bloody blur seemed to have never happened.
Chen Xiao was drowsy and didn't know how long he had been sleeping. When he woke up, he looked at the sun on the top of the cave. It was already noon. He felt that the wound was not painful. He gently lifted the old cloth to check the wound, and his mind suddenly became blank. "Isn't my arm injured? Why are all healing? Did he have a dream just now?"
He thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. If it was a dream, how could there be a cloth head that bandaged the wound? Moreover, the blood stains on it were as new as possible, and after thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't figure out the truth.
Chen Xiao took off the old cloth, stood up and was about to get out of the hole. His eyes moved around, but he was stunned again, "This bone..." It was obviously pure and flawless before, but now it is dark and ugly. What's going on?
The successive changes made him overwhelmed but had no idea, so he could only ignore it for the time being. It was getting late now, and he had to go to the valley to bring the tools and wild dogs back, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Chen Xiao returned to the valley and brought the tools on his body, used hemp ropes and branches to make a simple bracket, and dragged the wild dog back to the village. It was strange that after fighting with the wild dog, he was injured and bleeding and ran back and forth, but he didn't feel hungry and tired at all, as if he had endless energy on his body.
The afternoon sun was extremely hot, and the villagers had already returned home to enjoy the cool air. No one was seen on the road of the village. Chen Xiao dragged the wild dog to a rich door before and patted the door and waited. This was the Wang family, the most important family in the village. The head of the family was Wang Zhen, the father of the little fat man Wang Chuang.
Soon after waiting, a corner door next to the red door opened, and a person who looked like a housekeeper walked out.
"Uncle Wang, it's me." Chen Xiao was quite polite.
When the Butler Wang saw that it was him, he nodded with a smile: "Master Chen, come to find the young master?" Actually, Chen Xiao is not the young master, but because of his relationship with Wang Chuang, the Wang family treats him very politely, "I won't look for him. I just saw a wild dog trapped by some trap. I slaughtered it and dragged it back to see if Uncle Wang."
"Oh?" Butler Wang's face showed a strange look. After all, Chen Xiao was thin and said that killing a wild dog would not be easy even if the wild dog was caught by a beast.
He looked down the steps and found that it was indeed a wild dog, looking at the size of an adult, and when he walked closer, he saw that he had just died of blood and fur.
Butler Wang nodded and turned to Chen Xiao and said, "The master said early that I haven't tasted wild game for a long time, so wait for a while."
After saying that, he grabbed the wild dog's scalp and picked it up. The housekeeper's heart moved again. The beast was at least 60 or 70 kilograms, but was killed by the young Chen Xiao and dragged it into the village. The young master's friend is really not simple. He didn't say much and walked in with the wild dog in the door.
After a while, the butler came out with a rice bag and handed it to Chen Xiao, and took out 10 copper coins and gave it to him. Chen Xiao weighed the portion and looked like a dou of rice in the bag. He took the copper coins and thanked the butler, and then left the Wang family.
But he did not go home immediately, and walked through a muddy path next to his home, and came to a thatched house and gently knocked on the door.
A weak voice came from the room: "Who?"
"It's me, Grandpa Mo." The door opened as soon as he finished speaking and almost hit Chen Xiao's nose.
"Little girl, you are always so irritable!" Chen Xiao's tone was a little blameless, but he could not hide the care on his face.
"Brother Chen Xiao, you are here!" The one who opened the door was a little girl. She looked younger than Chen Xiao. Her round face, round eyes, round ears, a small upturned nose and a slightly pouted mouth made her look a little more agile. She tied a piece of floral cloth to her high ponytail. The blue dress with coarse cloth seemed short and had a few patches. The little girl didn't care and jumped and pulled Chen Xiao into the room.
The decorations in the house are extremely simple. Apart from the cooking stove and a few broken bowls, there is only a wooden table with no corners and a few bamboo stools made of green bamboos.
There are two earthen kangs in the southeast of the house. The firewood under the kang has gradually gone out, and only sporadic sparks are flashing. An old man is about to die on the kang on the left, and his life slowly disappears like firewood under the kang. The old man's hair is gray and his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are blind, and only his white pupils are not black.
After Chen Xiao entered the house, he asked Grandpa Mo for hello, and played with the little girl for a while before he put down the bag in his hand, "Yuanyuan, see what I brought."
Yuanyuan opened the bag curiously and looked at it, Yuanyuan's eyes widened even more, "Brother Chen Xiao, where did you get so many meters?"
Chen Xiao pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice: "I just met a wild dog. I thought I could exchange some rice and flour, so I reached out and pointed, and the beast died. I took it to Wang Chuang's house to exchange for the white rice."
Yuanyuan looked disdainful, ignoring his bragging, and his eyes were still staring at Bai Mi.
"Stop looking, your eyes fall out and can't be pulled out later." Chen Xiao teased her: "Go and get a bag."
Yuanyuan hurriedly found the worn rice bags at home. Chen Xiao was not stingy. He poured most of the white rice into the bag, took out three copper coins and handed them to Yuanyuan. Looking at the little stars emerging from Yuanyuan's eyes, Chen Xiao felt unspeakable joy and satisfaction.
