It was drizzling and the sky was gray. Zhao Yunxiang finally dried the soaked clothes by his body temperature in the second half of the night. He stayed up until the morning half asleep.
The scorching sun that I don't want to see every day hasn't appeared today.
"Gudong, Gudong..." Zhao Yunxiang poured fresh water, a mineral water bottle was drunk by him, and the plastic bottle shrank, making a "click" sound.
He is no longer short of water. Last night, he used the bottle in the shelter to pour dozens of rainwater.
It is very convenient to fill the water when it rains, just put the bottle mouth against the palm leaf wall of the shelter.
"I have what I need most, but I have lost the most important fire!" Zhao Yunxiang is in a very bad state, his body is weak and sore, his nose is not ventilated, his body temperature is very high, and his eyes are red. The corners of the eyes are full of yellow scum.
On a desert island without modern medicine, once you get sick, the price may be life!
The standard of living of modern people has improved. The average age is around 70 years old. When this age is placed in the Qing Dynasty, it is definitely an old birthday star.
Human beings have always been fighting against the cruel nature, using science and medicine to successfully win, and can easily kill the fever and cold of the ancients. It is just a minor illness. Just take some medicine.
However, there are no antibiotics, no anti-inflammatory drugs, and everything needs Zhao Yunxiang's own immunity.
"My body has always been healthy...Unfortunately, this time I can't escape the torture of the disease!" Zhao Yunxiang can only breathe with his mouth, his nose is completely blocked, and his throat and upper jaw are a bit painful. This is a sign of respiratory infection.
Moreover, he has a fever, his temples are aching, and his head is dizzy. Although he does not have a thermometer, he knows that his body temperature should be above 40 degrees.
"Hehe..." Zhao Yunxiang looked at the mess outside the sanctuary. His fire had already been annihilated by the torrent of rain. The torrent of rain last night wet the dry wood, and part of the wood was completely covered by the mud in the torrent.
The rain last night was heavy and lasted for about a whole night. The palm leaves above the shelter were washed away a lot. This hut that can shelter from wind and rain has begun to leak, and the sea breeze cannot be isolated. It is unscrupulous. Zhao Yunxiang, who was shivering and blowing.
"It's cold..."
Zhao Yunxiang struggled to get up. He was too ill, weak, top-heavy, and his steps were empty.
Holding the coconut tree and looking at the vast sea...
The sea is no longer blue and clear, and is relatively muddy. The sea and the gray sky are basically the same color. It is impossible to tell where the sea is and where is the sky.
"Wow..."
On the beach, several torrents of small rivers are flowing slowly. These are small rivers washed out by rain. The water is turbid and is slowly flowing into the sea.
"Should I dig a well and store some fresh water?" Zhao Yunxiang thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "I don't know how many days I can live, why are you bothering about it?"
what else can I do?
Waiting to die?
Perhaps, doing nothing, waiting quietly for death is the easiest...
"Hehe... awesome nature!" Zhao Yunxiang leaned on the coconut tree and blew his nose severely.
He was so mixed up, all thanks to the moody nature, the shipwreck was due to a super storm, the flame was extinguished and illness was also due to a heavy rain!
In front of nature, human beings are insignificant. Although human beings compete with nature with the power of technology and medicine against the sky, these so-called technology and medicine are vulnerable to nature.
Some natural disasters are forbidden curses, such as tsunamis and earthquakes...
Although Zhao Yunxiang is a human being, the most intelligent type of creature on earth so far, but without the shelter of civilization, ordinary humans are not as good as a mouse that can pierce holes!
As time passed slowly, Zhao Yunxiang kept his eyes closed, he was thinking, thinking was competing.
Two consciousnesses emerged in his mind, and these two consciousnesses were talking.
One advocated that he die, "Don’t insist. You have been abandoned by the world, the fire is gone, and you are still sick. The infection will continue to deepen. In the next step, the bacteria will move to your trachea and eventually to your lungs. There are no antibiotics, no medicine, do you think you can survive the germs?"
Yes, Zhao Yunxiang now only has water, and the most important fire has been lost. He has no certainty that he can start a fire again. The torture of germs alone can easily kill him.
No matter how you look at it now, you are sure to die!
Another voice rang in my mind again, "Don’t give up, you are the best, life is so miserable, try to use your wit to make fire, as long as you succeed in making fire, you are looking for some herbs and using herbs to boil water and drink. If you are sterilizing, trust your resistance!"
Zhao Yunxiang's resistance is not bad. After all, this product has not been injected for more than 10 years. Generally, if there is any inflammation, just drink some medicine.
Human illnesses are mostly caused by germs and bacterial infections. In addition to infections and illnesses imported from the mouth, environmental changes also have major factors The heavy rain and winds last night brought the temperature drastically lowered, and the whole body was wet by rain. The body was full of water. In this extreme harsh environment, Zhao Yunxiang's core body temperature was significantly lowered.
After the human body temperature is lowered, the immunity will also weaken. The bacteria and germs that exist around and in the human body reduce the human body's internal defense system against it, causing bacteria and germs to break the anti-counterfeiting system.
This can easily lead to respiratory infections. Similar to Zhao Yunxiang, it is a tonsillitis infection. This symptom is only the initial inflammation. If it is not treated in time or the immune system defeats it, the next inflammation will move down the mouth and then arrive. voice.
Then comes the trachea, then the lungs, which leads to inflammation of the lungs, commonly known as pneumonia.
Once the bacterial inflammation reaches the lungs, Zhao Yunxiang can be said to be exhausted.
After smoothing, what is most needed now is food and medicine!
After exploring the woods yesterday, Zhao Yunxiang clearly remembers that some plants in the woods can cure his illness, mainly for colds, fevers, and respiratory infections!
These are the most common setaria and bidens in the countryside. Setaria is the ancestor of millet and is easy to identify. Zhao Yunxiang often uses setaria to make rabbits.
However, Bidens is a disgusting plant. It is a parasitic type. The seeds of Bidens are like needles, with some thorns on the top. You will find clothes when you walk past Bidens in clothes. There are a lot of spikes densely on the top.
This is a way for Bidens to spread to the next generation!
"Find medicinal herbs first, and then find a way to get fire." Zhao Yunxiang is not the kind of person who gives up easily. He wants to live, even if he is in a desperate situation, he has to struggle!
No one can beat me! !
