Chapter 219: Origin Chinese text: 219 Second brother was bitten by a snake
He needed to hunt more prey.
Carrying a wild rabbit, he went deeper into the mountain forest and suddenly noticed a wild goat.
Stealthily, he took out an arrow from the bamboo tube behind him, drew his bow, and aimed…
Before he could shoot, the wild goat seemed to sense danger and fled deeper into the forest at high speed.
No matter how fast a human can run, they cannot keep up with wild animals in the forest.
Xiao Yishan didn’t immediately chase after the goat but followed its hoof prints. The wild goat ran into an area covered with weeds as tall as a man.
He quietly pushed aside the grass and saw the wild goat. Just as he was about to draw his bow, he felt a pain in his ankle, and when he looked down, he saw it was bitten by a poisonous snake the size of a wrist!
The snake raised its head and hissed, ready to attack again.
Xiao Yishan frowned, and the arrow he was aiming at the wild goat was immediately shot at the snake’s jugular. The arrow hit with precision.
The snake wriggled violently on the ground after being pierced by the arrow, thrashing about in its death throes.
Xiao Yishan simply grabbed the snake’s head and slammed it against a stone on the ground, smashing the snakehead to bits, while the snake’s body gradually weakened its wriggling movement.
He tossed the snake aside and quickly squatted down to check his bitten ankle. Rolling up his pants, he saw two fang holes on his ankle and the skin turned black around them.
The snake venom was spreading fast, and he felt his entire calf go numb.
He quickly tore a long strip from his clothes and bound his thigh tightly with it, slowing down the spread of the venom.
He normally wouldn’t bear to tear his clothes, but now facing life and death, he didn’t care anymore.
After binding his thigh, he held the bitten spot at his ankle and squeezed, releasing some black blood. No matter how hard he squeezed the wound, the blood color seemed wrong and soon, his entire calf turned bluish.
The venom had begun to spread, and he needed immediate treatment.
Having hunted for many years, although he didn’t know much about medicine, he recognized one or two types of herbs that could treat snakebites. He searched around but found no familiar herbs nearby, so he needed to return to the village and find a doctor quickly!
Picking up the dead snake, he couldn’t waste its meat, especially since there were hundreds of poisonous snakes and having the snake’s corpse would help the doctor prescribe a more accurate treatment. Not forgetting to take today’s only catch, the rabbit, he set off quickly towards the village.
He knew that walking now would speed up the spread of venom, but if he didn’t move in this desolate landscape, he would only wait for death and might not be discovered for days.
If he could hurry back to the village…
The image of Su Qingyue’s slim figure appeared in his mind…
Even if he were to die from poisoning, he would perhaps get a chance to see his wife one last time.
At first, his steps were agile, but gradually, they became heavier, and his whole body seemed numb from the poison. As he walked, he felt as though he were drifting.
After walking a great distance and climbing over another hill, he could see the village, but he could no longer walk. His tall body fell to the ground with force. He crawled up and staggered on…
He couldn’t die on the road, he had to see his wife!
After staggering for a while, he missed a step on the steep slope, and his whole body rolled down the hillside..
