Chapter 1: Struggling to survive (1/2)

The yellowish weeds were sparely maybe it was due to overgrazing by herbivores, or because of the extreme dry weather there was almost no visible grass and he could only see the hard and gray-yellow grass roots.

Some grasslands and grass roots have been upped, leaving only dry and deserted land.

A gray-black rabbitjumped out of the sandy hole, sensitively look at the surroundings, after seeing no threats, then the rabbit bowed down and drafting through the roots, seems like winter is coming, all animals would try to store fat in this last moment. In order to survive the long winter hibernation.

A tall figure in the distance grabbed a spear with a sharply cut head. The man was crawled like a wild leopard and quietly approached the fat rabbit.

”Ah!” The rabbit's feet trembled. It was not just killed by a spear, but was flattened by a spear.

The figure cameclose, and a rabbit had his head flattened but the fur was not damaged at all it was strung with a straw rope and hung on one of the barb by the spear.

The coming person was about to leave, but suddenly hestopped and bent to look at the ground.

As usual he saw on the slightly deserted grasslands there was a trace of footsteps from the west to the east, as if there was something like a stake that dragged from above.

The person knelt down and looked down the footsteps. The footsteps were long and they continued to move elsewhere.

The tall, dark man rubbed his fingers and raised his hand and smelled it. He touched the blood from the ground and saw it was dried but there was a clear bloody smell. The animals that left the blood, whether animals or people, shouldn't be more than half a day. .

That would depend on whether the injured was an animal or human?

The man licked his lips, a pair of narrow black eyebrows revealed a cruelty and greed face and the face with a murdering gaze and a strange pattern on his face was extremely fierce.

A rabbit is too small to feed the family, he must find more food.

Following down the traces all the way to the east, there a small grassy beach with a radius of only three or four feet.

There was a depression in the middle of the grassland that cannot be a waterhole. There were turbid yellow muddy things in the water. There are still many wild grasses in the water. There is the only small hole in the vicinity, and it is less than one foot deep. This depression is the only source of water that can be found in the vicinity of 20 mile range.

At the time of the water scarcity, there wasn't a human being who did not know how important it is to seek a water source.

This person did not know whether there was another person here.... Maybe the person was exhausted or near death. It seemed as if the man climbed to the side of the leeches. One hand had been inserted into the leeches, but his mouth did not touch the water.

The human body was naked, and only a straw rope attached to the waist. From the exposed skin, this human is not very old also not too tall to look at. The whole body is thin and skinny, with only a few round buttocks is only where one can see some meat.

The flies were buzzing around him. In addition to the flies, some insects that can't be named have turned the humans who fell near the waterside into a big meal today and even a few days later. Soon they are looking for a place on the human body ready to open a buffer.

Especially since the man had worms on his right leg.

The man had a rather large wound on his right leg, it looked like a beast chewed his knee up a bit, breaking the bones, the wound was like a simple treatment, and the broken bone was tightly tied with a straw, he does not know whether it was because the weather was too hot or lack of therapeutic drugs, the skin around the wound was rotten and begins to pus, a large number of white worms were crawling up and down the wound.

A black beetle bit the rotten meat on the leg and torn it open with a huge tongs head, and with a sharp triangular skull, the beetle wanted to drill into the freshy flesh inside.

The man who was kneeling on the ground shivered and was suddenly awakened by the pain.

”Fuck...!”

Yan Mo couldn't believe that he fainted. He crawled for nearly a day before he found the water source. He thought he could fall into a leeches and drank it only to faint mid struggle.

Yan Mo also raised his body regardless of the throbbing pain in the wound on his right leg. He moved the leg forward and buried it in the water.

The water is not cold but still cool sofor those who have been exposed for a sunny day, this is cool enough to at least reduce the temperature of his head.

Yan Mo didn't drink the water from the water hole. He just kept himself awake.

Such dirty water was not filtered, and with his current injuries and illness it will be a big problem if he drinks the dirty water into his stomach.

When he crawled over, he had already scouted a little. He found the footprint of the animal at the edge of the water. With his many years of experience in medical practice, he saw that the water quality was not good but it was unlikely to be poisonous. Before he passed out, he wanted to scoop a little amount of water and settle it. Then look at the water quality later then consider how to drink.

Now he finds that he is likely to have a fever again because of a wound infection, and he can't wait for the water to settle. Let's take a cool l

Until he couldn't help himself, Yan Mo extended his head from the otter. Thanks to the hot weather and the desert climate, there was no aquatic life in the water bole except the weeds.

There are bound to be disadvantages. He also wanted to find two leeches to help him suck the blood around the wound. The squid can be dried and ground into powder can also treat the bruises and the powder willhave a certain effect on the treatment of fractures. Nowadays, there is no such thing as squid around this desert land.

Yan Mo propped up his upper body and pull away his injured right leg. He looked down and saw that the black beetle had already plunged half of his body into his wound.

Instead of pulling it directly with his fingers, he broke off a hard grass root and used it as a knife tip. He carefully opened his own flesh and skin, and stabbed the beetle that had been drilled in half into the flesh.

When the blood came out, Yan Mo reached into the water and stretched his wrists. He used his hands to scoop into the bottom of the leeches and pull a little muddy water under the yellow sand and splashedit on the wound.

This is the most rudimentary and most compelling method of stopping bleeding.

All the little bugs that ate away on the wound were washed off leaving only the white aphids that ate the dead cells, and the Wen Shang around him turned around an fled, and the rest were managed temporarily. Yan Mo's mouth slightly ticked, revealing a very ridiculous smile.

With his legs dragging, he once again picked up a puddle of water, and the water contained a lot of water. He wanted to wait for it to completely settle. At least another piece of equipment should be used to let the water settle for a day.

This kind of water with high salty content shouldn't be used to relieve thirst. Because after a while, it will make him more thirsty, but he can't help it.

Is it better to be thirsty now, or be thirsty in the future? Is it okay to be thirsty to death, or one should be careful to drink water that is not clean?

Yan Mo found a place that looked pretty clean. He rubbed the dust on the surface of the water, visible to the naked eye, and simply filtered it with his fingers. He licked his lips and drank it.

A little bit of strange water flows down the throat through his throat, and the whole body was like being moisturizing. Even if the water is difficult to swallow, he still takes a sip of his mouth, not only temporarily relieves thirst, but also fills a water.

After drinking the water, he sat in the place to rest for a while, the pain in his leg was ignored, and he did not have a better treatment for it anyway.

Looking up at the water, the water reflection kept shaking, but he can see his appearance now.

A mess of straw, half-length hair, scalp was itching and Yan Mo doesn't know how many lice are in it.

Touching the face that was still smooth, the chin has no long beard, the age should be estimated to be younger, looking at the skin now and one can touch the bones, and Yan Mo guessed that the age of the body should be between the ages of 12 and 16. The gap will be so big, first because he can't see his face clearly. The second is because this place is a special environment. He only looked at the skin and can't determine this new body age. The people in the desert have always reach puberty earlier, so he can't judge his age correctly.
