When I looked at Zhang Jisheng's legs, my scalp felt numb.
Zhang Jisheng was wearing knee-length broadcloth trousers, and his calves were densely covered with leeches. Visually, there should be more than a dozen of them. The heads of the leeches were inserted deeply into Zhang Jisheng's skin to suck blood, and the body and tail
From time to time, they will squirm, and some of them must have been filled with water. The whole body is swollen and appears dark red.
"Jisheng, there are leeches on your legs, hurry up and brush them off." I couldn't help but shout.
Zhang Jisheng looked down and wondered if he had trypophobia. His face suddenly turned white. He reflexively let go of the hand holding the plant and bent down to pat the leeches off his calf.
As soon as he let go, his body immediately lost his balance and fell into the mud.
The slimy mud made him sink quickly. Wang Zhishui was closest to him and hurriedly held his hand. He struggled to climb up to his knees again, but his feet had no point of stress in the mud. As soon as he struggled, his body became more
sink quickly.
The plant on Wang Zhishui's body originally had thorns, and now he put all his strength on that plant. The sharp thorns slowly pierced the gauze and pierced the palm of his hand, and the white gauze suddenly
It turned red, and the arm was scratched just now, so a large amount of blood slid down the forearm to the elbow, and fell into the mud.
We also hurriedly moved towards Zhang Jisheng, but our knees were submerged in the mud and our progress was very slow.
At this time, an incredible scene occurred. More leeches suddenly emerged from the mud and tried to stick to Zhang Jisheng's body.
The extreme fear made Zhang Jisheng almost crazy. He shouted loudly and kept slapping the leeches on his body, trying desperately to climb up.
His strength was so great that Wang Zhishui was injured on his arm and was almost pulled into the mud by him several times.
"I'm a little dizzy." Suddenly, there was no blood on Wang Zhishui's face. He felt that he had reached the limit of his body. His lips were slightly purple and his calves were covered with leeches.
In this state, he seemed to be poisoned. Could it be that the mangroves are poisonous?
I saw that his hand seemed to loosen a little, and my heart suddenly jumped out of my chest. I shouted: "Professor, don't let go."
But it was too late. Wang Zhishui was already close to fainting. He used too much force on his hand, and the scratch on his hand opened again. Blood was dripping down his forearm like a faucet that was not closed tightly.
Fortunately, his hand was wrapped with gauze, and he was holding the tree trunk covered with small thorns hard. The gauze and the thorns were intertwined, so he was caught at once.
However, Zhang Jisheng below was still pulling him hard, so the gauze could not support it. With a hiss, a hole was torn out, and Wang Zhishui was already on the verge of collapse.
At this critical moment, a dark figure ran over from the depths of the mangrove forest. He seemed to know where the knees were, and he didn't need to rely on the plants. He jumped to our feet just like stepping on plum blossom piles.
around.
He hugged the unconscious Wang Zhishui, then patted Zhang Jisheng's hand away, and said with an indifferent expression: "Climb up with your knees in your hands."
"Chen Mo," Xiangyu and I shouted in unison.
"Leechies are afraid of alcohol. You should all have medical alcohol with you. Pour it on your calves and clothes first. There is something strange in this forest. You must leave as soon as possible and follow my lead."
Chen Mo said, carrying Wang Zhishui behind his back. He looked at me again, then took off the big glove on his hand and threw it to me.
I quickly put on my gloves. With the protection of the gloves, I was no longer afraid of the sharp thorns on the trunks of the mangroves, so I quickly arrived in front of Zhang Jisheng. I helped Zhang Jisheng climb up to his knees again.
We took out the medical alcohol from our backpack and poured it on our legs and bodies. The leeches lying on our legs sucking blood automatically fell off when they came into contact with the alcohol. The dense layer of leeches that were originally floating on the surface of the mud fell off when we saw them.
The alcohol also dispersed like a ghost.
"These little thorns are poisonous. It might be a little difficult to get out with just the gauze on your hands." Chen Mo glanced at the surrounding environment and said.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any ropes on you?"
"Yes," Zhang Jisheng stood on his knees with a look of shock on his face. "Zhou Cang, please help me. I brought a small bundle of nylon rope in my backpack."
I took out the nylon rope, wondering what Chen Mo wanted to do.
"I'll tie the nylon rope to the tree trunk, and you can pull the rope and walk." Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo," I looked at him carrying Wang Zhishui on his back, worried that he was not strong enough, "Professor Wang, let me carry it."
"No, just take good care of them."
I looked around and saw that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Among the grown men, I was the only one who was unscathed.
Chen Mo stood with one knee on each foot, opened the herringbone, supported the body on the pillar, and then tied the two ends of the nylon rope to the two trees in front and behind.
We held on to the nylon rope tied by Chen Mo and followed him, slowly moving through the mangroves.
I looked at Chen Mo, who was walking back and forth some distance in front of us. He was originally not that big, but now he was carrying Wang Zhishui on his back. I wonder if it would be difficult for him.
How many things is this Chen Mo hiding from me? Didn't he go to the professor's funeral? Why did he appear in the mangrove with us at the same time?
How did he know that the spikes on the tree trunks were poisonous and that leeches were afraid of alcohol?
Judging from the fact that he knows the knees buried in the mud very well, this is definitely not the first time he has come into contact with this mangrove forest.
In Ecstasy, is the eye that appears in Xiangyu's photo his?
When we left Ecstasy, I always felt that there was something following us. Was that him too?
Is he also looking for the ancient temple?
Chen Mo seems to be very different from when he was a student. At least, I never knew that he had such skills before. I only heard him mention that he was not in good health when he was a child, so he practiced martial arts for several years.
.
At that time, I just heard about it and forgot about it. I didn't expect that his skills were so good.
Chen Mo's back gradually turned into a mist, shrouding my eyes.
This mangrove forest is so big that we walked for a long time without even getting out.
Suddenly, I heard a faint sound similar to the collision of metal copper pieces.
