572: Chapter 572 Neutralizing the Deadly Poison!
A scream of agony!
Fang Qingya forcefully shook her leg with all her might.
A splash!
From the bushes, a snake was flung into the lake.
Wu Jie fixed his gaze for a closer look.
About a hundred centiters long, with a large triangular head!
The head was earthy yellow on the sides, with a dark brown back.
The body was brownish-green with many large, grey-white square patches.
The edges of the patches were dark, and the underside was deep white.
Wu Jie recognized it at a glance as one of the three most common poisonous snakes in the countryside, the Hundred Flowers Snake.
Its official na was Sharp-snouted Viper, also commonly known as Hundred Pace Snake, Five Pace Snake, Seven Pace Snake, and other such nicknas.
This kind of snake usually lies in wait in grassy fields, its body color blending with dead branches and fallen leaves, making it highly camouflaged.
It didn’t have the distinctive bright patterns like those of the Silver Ring Snake or other vipers.
Nor did it make a hissing sound like a gas leak, like the Russell’s Viper.
Once approached, it would strike swiftly in a very short ti.
Its oval pit organs on the cheeks had an extrely sensitive heat-detection capability.
Therefore, it could bite exposed human skin in an instant.
And the mont it bit, it injected a large amount of venom.
The venom could cause blood vessels and muscles to dissolve, leading to extensive necrosis, and easily resulting in disability and amputation for the victim.
In that instant.
Wu Jie recognized it was the Hundred Flowers Snake and knew all too well the enormous danger Fang Qingya faced after being bitten.
“Don’t move!!”
Wu Jie yelled and rushed over.
At that mont.
The Hundred Flowers Snake, flung into the lake by Fang Qingya, had already swiftly swum away.
Such a loud shout also naturally scared away other snakes in the vicinity.
“Damn!
I’ve been bitten by a snake!
It’s all your fault, you jinx!!”
Fang Qingya’s face was full of misery as she furiously threw the dead duck to the ground.
She crouched down and lifted her jeans.
On the side of her ankle, between the pants and the sock, it looked like she had been bitten by two mosquitoes.
Two red welts swelled up rapidly, resembling small blisters.
Fang Qingya crouched down and fiercely squeezed them.
Trying to press out the venom.
But as Wu Jie approached and took a look, he shook his head and advised:
“It’s no use!
The snake that bit you was a Hundred Flowers Snake, also called a Sharp-snouted Viper.
Its venom is already in your system!”
“Damn it!
What do I do now?
Hurry up and take to the hospital!”
Fang Qingya imdiately tried to stand up.
But…
She was swiftly pinned down by Wu Jie.
Seeing Wu Jie pulling off his belt, Fang Qingya was completely bewildered.
“Damn you to hell!”
“What the hell are you thinking at a ti like this?
Do you still want to play with ?”
“That ti in the hotel, you didn’t take the chance when you had it, so what the hell do you want today?
Do you have a particular fondness for outdoor action or what?”
“Sneaking around with behind your wife Tang Xiao’s back, think it’s thrilling?
Hey, you heartbreaker, you…”
Fang Qingya’s speech was cut off mid-way, as she saw Wu Jie pull out the belt but left both his and her pants on.
He used the belt to tightly bind her thigh, obviously to prevent the venom from spreading quickly.
“Will you just shut up?
Lie back and don’t get excited.
If you keep ranting like this, the venom will spread even faster!”
As he spoke, Wu Jie laid Fang Qingya down.
That’s right!
To prevent this tomboy from wasting ti, Wu Jie simply pushed her down to lie flat.
Then, without hesitation, he took out his combat knife, which was a trophy obtained from an encounter with Mu En’s subordinates.
The knife was sharp and quickly sliced through the jeans.
“It’s going to hurt a lot in a bit, so just bear with it!”
Wu Jie took out a lighter and set the fla to the blade of the knife, to sterilize it.
In the wild, without alcohol for disinfection, using fire was the best thod.
Fang Qingya lifted her head slightly and saw what was happening, her fright was palpable.
“Good Lord!
What are you trying to do?
I…
I’m feeling really panicky right now, my right leg feels like it’s been numbed, and it’s swelling!”
Wu Jie spoke impatiently, “Will you shut up?
If you don’t want to die, just bear it!”
With that, he took an arrow and placed it beside Fang Qingya’s mouth.
“Bite on this!!”
Fang Qingya opened her red lips and bit down hard on the shaft of the arrow.
These homade arrows had shafts made of wood, which was perfect for biting down on to endure pain.
Otherwise, Wu Jie truly feared Fang Qingya might bite through her own tongue.
After sterilizing the combat knife, Wu Jie bent down and examined the wound carefully.
The two blister-like red dots had grown sowhat.
And the surrounding area had swollen a bit.
Venom had definitely spread into the subcutaneous tissue, attacking and destroying muscles and capillaries.
He absolutely couldn’t allow the venom to spread throughout the body via the lymphatic system.
Otherwise.
By the ti they got back ho and drove to the town clinic, Fang Qingya would be full of venom.
Then it would be too late for antivenom serum, and they would have to rush her to the county hospital for dialysis.
But the county was too far away; by the ti she was delivered, Fang Qingya’s condition would likely have worsened, putting her life on a thread.
In this critical mont.
Wu Jie was not panicked, instead he was calm enough to understand the consequences thoroughly.
So he didn’t foolishly help Fang Qingya squeeze the wound or futilely wash it with water, nor did he help her up or carry her back to the village.
He waited!
Waiting for the disinfected combat knife to cool down, Wu Jie hesitated no further and made his incision.
Ti waits for no one!
If he let the venom spread further, its anticoagulant properties would cause the wound to bleed uncontrollably.
Therefore, Wu Jie precisely made an incision over the wound.
The combat knife was so sharp that Fang Qingya didn’t feel much pain when cut, as it was already numb from pain.
Following the cross incision thod, Wu Jie made another cut horizontally.
In an instant!
A profusion of blood gushed out, no longer bright red but sowhat dark.
At that mont.
Fang Qingya finally regained sensation, and reflexively sat up, wide-eyed.
She was terrified beyond asure, nearly scared to death.
Wu Jie had actually cut open her pride and joy, her long leg, and it was still bloody…
Oh crap!
What the hell was he doing?
Was he bleeding her to eliminate poison?
It hurts!!
Fang Qingya’s beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and frantically clutch the ground with both hands.
Her fingers dug deeply into the soil, and she let out unintelligible noises from her mouth.
“#%￥@…”
Wu Jie turned a deaf ear.
After slicing open the wound, he bent down without hesitation and sucked with force.
Suddenly sitting up, Fang Qingya was completely stunned by the scene before her.
Wu Jie was actually using his mouth to suck the poison out for her!
Once, twice, thrice…
With each draw, Wu Jie pressed down hard with his hand, spitting out the congested blood.
In that mont!
Fang Qingya fell silent, utterly dumbfounded.
Who was Wu Jie?
He was the husband of the beautiful CEO Tang Xiao, a famous new rich tycoon.
They rarely interacted, but whenever Wu Jie’s help was needed, he was incredibly reliable.
For this reason, Fang Qingya had been willing to drive the wedding car for Wu Jie.
She was also willing to leave her company behind and travel all the way to Wu Jie’s hotown.
As the saying goes.
For a brother, stabbing oneself in the sides for his sake, what’s wrong with that?
But those were just words; when it really ca ti to take a stabbing for soone, you’d be lucky not to get stabbed yourself.
Now, Wu Jie was risking his own poisoning to suck the venom out for her…
This was truly a life-saving grace!
Fang Qingya bit down on an arrow shaft, her eyes brimming with tears.
It was not certain whether it was out of emotion or pain.
Regardless, Fang Qingya lay back down, enduring the pain and looking up at the clear blue sky.
The sky was so blue.
The wind was so light.
Lying on the wild grassland beside the reservoir, if not for the snakebite, it would be a rather unique enjoynt.
Completely unfettered!
Peaceful and free!
Strangely enough, she felt like lying there a little longer.
Could it be because she was usually lacking in love?
Wu Jie helping to suck out the venom actually felt warm and comforting?
…
Wu Jie had no idea what Fang Qingya was thinking.
He was now fully focused, almost racing against the Reaper.
The Hundred Flowers Snake was no ordinary viper.
Its bites had killed or disabled many villagers each year.
Wu Jie didn’t want Fang Qingya, such a beautiful woman, to lose her fragrance and beco handicapped.
After sucking out the venom and spitting it out, he imdiately stood up, tore so leaves, and held them in his palm as a container.
He scooped water from the reservoir to rinse the wound several tis.
Then he continued to suck.
After repeating the process several tis, he searched the surroundings and chewed up so herbs to apply to the wound.
The venom was nearly all sucked out, but the wound still needed to be disinfected and stopped from bleeding, or it could lead to infection.
Lacking a bandage, Wu Jie cut a small piece of his shirt off.
The shirt instantly beca a crop top, and although it looked sowhat incongruous, it was at least sufficient to bandage Fang Qingya’s wound.
The last step was hydration!
Though the water from the reservoir wasn’t particularly clean, with no industrial zones contaminating it, at worst, it would only cause diarrhea.
Drinking lots of water could dilute the venom and speed up tabolism.
Of course.
Wu Jie could also use this opportunity to discreetly give Fang Qingya the “Detox Pill.”
Once, when Wu Jie had very few energy points and was poor, he flew to the Capital with Tang Xiao and used it on her on a plane.
The Detox Pill could dissolve toxic substances in the body.
Although it couldn’t completely dissolve the bullet in Tang Xiao’s body at that ti, it was more than enough to remove the snake venom from Fang Qingya’s body now—the pill’s ability to detoxify and nourish one’s complexion was also pretty good.
Saving a life is more ritorious than building a seven-tier pagoda!
With the Detox Pill costing five thousand energy points each, Wu Jie directly bought two.
He dissolved them in water and let Fang Qingya drink it.
Fang Qingya knew that she needed to drink plenty of water when poisoned, so she didn’t refuse to drink the water from the reservoir.
After drinking a lot and feeling her belly swell, she shook her head and waved her hands.
“Enough!
I’m going to throw up if I drink any more!”
Fang Qingya gasped for breath and after sitting up, pointed at Wu Jie’s belt.
“Can that thing be removed now?
I’m really afraid the blood circulation will be cut off, and I’ll get sepsis in my right leg—that would really be the end of !”
Without a word, Wu Jie bent down, undid the belt, and put it back on his pants.
“You don’t have to say it; I’d have taken it off anyway.
Otherwise, if the button suddenly popped off, my pants falling down would be embarrassing!”
Fang Qingya, her complexion sowhat pale but smiling sweetly, said:
“It’s fine, even if you wear nothing, I won’t laugh at you!”
Wu Jie snorted coldly, “My robust body isn’t sothing you can just look at casually!”
“Really?
That ti in the hotel when we rooted out lots of surveillance caras, we almost…”
Fang Qingya huffed and looked around before smirking and saying:
“I’ve kept that a secret all this ti.
Nobody knows about that little adventure of ours!”
Wu Jie smiled sheepishly, “Is there a need to be so anxious?
We’ve always been innocent!”
“Have we?”
Fang Qingya slowly moved forward a bit, her lips slightly parted and her eyes mischievous.
“Even though I really like Lin Yuan, and I swear I must chase her down in this life and grow old with her, I’ve never stopped thinking about you!”
