Chapter 135: Maggots
In the middle of the night, Cao Lin suddenly woke up by the cold. She opened her eyes and the cave was pitch black, with only a trace of faint Mars remaining in the ashes.
From time to time, lightning sounds came from outside. The sound passed through the winding cave and became a little dull. The moist cold wind kept blowing from the entrance of the cave. It seemed that it was raining outside. She could feel the warmth of the cold wind.
She was cold and hungry. Even though she was holding a bunch of Yucao tightly, she was still trembling all over. She forced herself to endure it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She stood up carefully and prepared to reignite a pile of firewood.
The surroundings were silent, and everyone had already fallen asleep. After being exhausted throughout the day, even Wang Shishi snored lightly.
She searched in the dark for a long time in fear and finally found a lighter next to the fire.
The flames as big as beans flickered in the cold wind, perhaps because the psychological hall seemed to give her an extremely gloomy feeling. She didn't dare to look around, for fear of seeing something terrifying. She squatted down and lit her hands trembled a few times, and the flame finally rose.
The light and heat of the flame seemed to bring her a huge sense of security. She carefully added firewood. As the flames became more and more prosperous, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The hall became bright, and everyone was huddled in the haystack like a homeless man, curling up as much as possible to resist the cold.
Under the flames, Cao Lin's cold and numb body became conscious again. She felt a little itchy on her arms, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed it a few times.
It was not until a severe pain that she realized that she was grabbing the wound.
In the light of the fire, she looked down and seemed to feel dazzled. There seemed to be something white in the wound. Her heart tightened and she beated violently. She took the courage to take a closer look.
The countless maggots were squirming in the wounds, not only the arms, calves, knees, arms, backs, and as long as there were wounds, they were covered with maggots.
The scene in front of her made her pupils shrink violently, her hair standing up all over, and her scalp exploded. She suddenly remembered something and touched the wound on her face madly, but she only felt a piece of slippery feeling. The soft and rolling maggots came from her fingertips.
She couldn't help screaming loudly anymore.
Everyone immediately opened their eyes, quickly touched the weapon placed at their hands, and quickly stood up and took a warning posture.
"What's going on?" Luo Yuan stood up, glanced around and found that there was nothing unusual.
Cao Lin kept screaming, waving her hands in the air, and her body kept shaking like a sieve.
Luo Yuan walked over and slapped her suddenly: "Calm down, what's going on?"
The strong and severe pain finally made Cao Lin slightly regain his rationality from his unexciting fear, but his face was still extremely frightened and he said incoherently: "Maggots, there are maggots everywhere, I'm going to die, save me, Brother Luo, save me."
Luo Yuan grabbed her hand with sharp eyes, flipped the back of her hand, looked carefully, and couldn't help but suck. Even he felt a little creepy: "How come there are so many maggots?"
Everyone also surrounded him. Seeing this creepy scene, his face changed drastically. Several people thought of something and quickly checked their wounds. The next moment, the screams of women came one after another, and even a few men had pale faces.
Among everyone, except Luo Yuan and Lin Xiaoji, maggots appeared more or less on each of them. Wang Xiaguang had the most maggots, and almost occupied the entire wound. The dense maggots that kept moving made people burst their scalp and her body swayed, almost fainting.
Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were not much better either, screaming and their faces were as pale as death.
"Calm down, everyone calms me down." Luo Yuan shouted loudly.
Huang Jiahui was not injured much, and she had good physical condition and had the fewest maggots on her body, so she recovered from peace as soon as possible. She said anxiously: "How could it turn out like this? She has been injured before, but this wound is fine at all."
"Maybe when you pass through the woods, you are stained with the eggs of insects in the leaves." Luo Yuan guessed
"The jungle is too dangerous. I don't want to stay here anymore. I would rather be choked to death by volcanic ash than be covered with maggots." Wang Shishi cried and tears kept spinning in his eyes. His hands were facing the wound, and he wanted to touch them if he dared to touch them.
"Don't say discouraged words. After the volcanic ash passes, we will turn to the highway. Don't say these things first. These maggots must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the longer they drag, the more dangerous they will be." Luo Yuan said solemnly. These maggots grew too fast and had grown in the thickness of chopsticks in less than midnight. If they dragged them down, I don't know what they would look like. I hope they did not get into their bodies, otherwise...
Luo Yuan was a little unimaginable. When he thought of the terrifying scene of the belly full of maggots and finally breaking out of his body, his heart tightened.
Huo Dong gritted his teeth and put his fingers into the wound. The tentacles were slippery and disgusting. Goose bumps suddenly appeared in his skin. The originally shallow wound had been corroded very deeply and could almost reach into a finger. Maggots, four or five centimeters long, were constantly pulled out of the wound by him and threw them in the fire. Under the burning of the flames, the sound of thunderbolts was made.
A wound the size of a ping-pong ball actually pulled out more than a dozen maggots. The flesh and blood inside the wound were filled with holes as dense as beehives, and some holes were faintly exposed in the depths. It was obvious that maggots were still growing deep in the wound.
A trace of despair flashed across his face, and suddenly his emotions collapsed and hit the wound heavily. Blood mixed with thick white slurry splashed everywhere. A large area of muscle near the wound was completely shrunk, and it seemed that it had been eroded inside.
Everyone looked pale and their bodies were cold.
Luo Yuan could no longer maintain peace and his face changed drastically. Seeing that Wang Xiaguang was about to fall to the ground, he quickly supported her and put it on the grass. Luo Yuan checked her condition. Her wounds were mainly on her back and calves. The wounds on her calves were only the size of a palm, but there was a large area on her back. The situation was very serious, and because she could not see the reasons behind it, she didn't even notice them herself.
Luo Yuan's heart was heavy, and he tried to press his fingers gently along the area near the wound in the calf. Before he could use any force, his skin became sunken, causing the maggots to squirm slightly.
Wang Xiaguang lay motionless on the grass, looking at the top of his head in despair, and said in a trembling voice: "Am I going to die?"
"No, since I rescue you, I won't watch you die." Luo Yuan said unquestionably: "I'll bring the knife."
"What do you want?" Wang Xiaguang asked hurriedly.
"The maggots are not deep yet, just cut off the whole piece of meat." Luo Yuan said.
"Then will I not be able to leave in the future?" Wang Xiaguang asked.
"It's not that I cut off my entire leg, but I'll be a little lame when I walk in the future?" Luo Yuan was silent for a while and said softly. He did not talk about the situation behind her, so as not to collapse in her heart.
"No, if you cut it off, even if you can walk in the future, you will have to be recuperated for a while. I don't want to be a burden to you." Wang Xiaguang bit her lip, tears kept sliding down her face. She shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't go to the west, and I should have died. On the night when my mother committed suicide, she should have died."
The death of her parents and Luo Yuan's indifference made the last trace of persistence in her heart disappear, and the tragic situation in her body became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and her heart had aspirations of death.
Luo Yuan looked at her lifeless eyes. He was so familiar with this look. He had seen it from both of them and finally committed suicide. His face moved: "This is not a burden. Even if your legs are broken, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. You are still young and have many wonderful things that have not been experienced. The West is a stable world. At that time, we don't have to take risks. We can live a normal life, and you must persevere.
Wang Xiaguang's numb eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of blush appeared on his pale face, and he said, "You said you will take care of me for the rest of your life?"
Luo Yuan found that Wang Xiaguang had some misunderstandings, but now it was time to do so, so he could only nod and said, "So you must live, don't be afraid, just hurt a little."
Wang Xiaguang's face turned pale again: "Then you can hurry up."
"Scream it out loud"
Luo Yuan quickly pulled out the saber, and he repeatedly compared the wound on his calf, his palms were slightly sweating, and his hands, which were usually as stable as rocks, were trembling slightly at this moment. He took a deep breath, and just as he was about to slash him, he suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Lin Xiaoji, bring that frog over?"
The frog's flesh and blood have a paralysis effect, but it is not very toxic. It is a natural anesthetic. Luo Yuan was a little glad that he didn't want to move yesterday, and the others did not go out to throw it away for safety, otherwise Wang Xiaguang would have to endure it.
Lin Xiaoji did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly ran over to lift the corpse of the frog that was still in the corner.
Luo Yuan immediately broke open its belly. After midnight, its blood had solidified, but he didn't need too much, just a few drops of blood was enough. He picked up a piece of grass, dipped it in some blood, and dripped it on the wound covered with maggots.
This was an unexpected situation
The maggots seemed to feel the disaster was coming, and suddenly wriggled violently, rushing out of the wound. After a while, the calves were already covered with maggots. A few minutes later, the maggots in the wound were empty, and even the maggots that penetrated into the body ran away.
Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.
The atmosphere in the hall became warm in an instant. Everyone surrounded the frog and dripped its blood carefully on the wound.
The creatures are mutually generated and restrained. This frog seems to be the natural enemy of maggots. A large number of maggots drilled out of their wounds and wanted to escape from this place, but they were trampled to death by the crowd, or thrown into the fire. The maggots were burned by the flames, and the air was filled with a burnt smell, but no one cared about it.
