When the gloves were removed, Shinonome couldn't help but click his tongue at the injury on Kagamihara Nadeshiko's hand.
Beneath the gloves were her hands, raw and bleeding, offering virtually no protection.
He quickly took out a thicker rope from the coconut shell and used it to bandage Nadeshiko's hand wound.
"Only your hand is injured, right?"
Soon, Shinonome finished bandaging Kagamihara Nadeshiko's wounds, and then he began bandaging his own wounds.
Kagamihara Nadeshiko was lucky; she only suffered injuries to her hands. Shinonome, on the other hand, was much more unlucky. Not only was he bitten on the left arm by the leopard, but he was also scratched several times on his chest, waist, and abdomen. If most of the wounds hadn't been inflicted by the leopard after it weakened from struggling, he might already be lying peacefully on the ground.
"Okay." Kagamihara Nadeshiko nodded, looking at Shinonome with concern as she bandaged him, and said, "Let me bandage you."
Shinonome was bandaging his left arm. Just as Shinonome felt sorry for Kagamihara Nadeshiko's injury, Kagamihara Nadeshiko also felt sorry for Shinonome's wounds.
The sight of Shinonome's mangled left arm wound involuntarily filled Kagamihara Nadeshiko with sorrow.
"No need, your hand is already like this, don't try to be strong. My left hand is injured, my right hand is fine, let me bandage it."
He told Kagamihara Nadeshiko not to be reckless, but Shinonome himself was actually being reckless. His left arm injury was no worse than Nadeshiko's, and combined with his other injuries, his injuries were actually much more serious than Nadeshiko's.
Despite his calm and collected demeanor, he was actually in constant pain inside.
When Shinonome took off his leaf-patterned robe, revealing the wounds on his chest, waist, and abdomen, the audience was shocked, as was Kagamihara Nadeshiko.
Dongyun's upper body was covered in blood, with a huge claw mark on his chest, and leopard scratches all over his abdomen and waist. Even more horrifying was the presence of many blades of grass stuck to his wounds, all stained reddish-black with blood.
"Xiaoyun, you're the one who's being stubborn! Let me bandage you up!"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko couldn't stand it anymore.
Even though her hand was in excruciating pain, she still helped Dongyun bandage her wound.
"No, why would I be so stubborn? Have you forgotten? I told you I have a brave nature. It's just a cricket scratch... just a minor injury to the cricket."
Dongyun originally wanted to use a meme, but he remembered that Nadeshiko didn't know the meme "merely fatal wound," and he changed his words because he was afraid that Nadeshiko would worry after hearing the word "fatal."
"forget."
Kagamihara Nadeshiko shook her head, her voice trembling with tears.
"It's really nothing, don't worry, Nadeshiko. It's just a minor injury. With proper care, it will recover. We're very lucky; we didn't break any bones."
Shinonome felt sorry for Kagamihara Nadeshiko, Kagamihara Nadeshiko felt sorry for Shinonome, and the audience felt sorry for the two of them. Unfortunately, the audience could only feel sorry for them; there was nothing they could do to help Shinonome and Nadeshiko. They could only offer words of comfort and encouragement, and praise their skill in killing the leopard.
Even though this leopard is only a sub-adult, the two of them are still very powerful.
Chapter 91 The Wayward Dog
In the woods not far from the river, Higashion and Kagamihara Nadeshiko started a fire.
They sat under a tree, quietly waiting for the stones in the campfire to heat up.
The coconut shells they brought couldn't be used to boil water, so they had to heat the stones first, then throw the heated stones into the coconut shells filled with river water to boil the raw water.
it hurts.
Dongyun was sweating profusely, not just from the heat, but also from the pain.
The thought of having to clean and re-bandage his wounds later gave him an urge to smash his head against a block of tofu and die.
But whatever they say, they survived, and they were lucky. The leopard didn't seem to be an adult, but rather a sub-adult, which meant they only suffered superficial injuries and no serious broken bones.
Human bodies are fragile, but they are not so fragile when facing wild animals. As long as it is not a fatal area, other parts of the body have a certain degree of defense.
Dongyun looked at Nadeshiko's hands, then at the ropes and bandages binding his own body, and felt very gloomy.
Can they continue exploring the jungle in search of cinchona trees and other plants that can treat malaria?
Dongyun actually knew the answer to the question very well.
But what will happen to Rin-chan now that they've gone back? Will they just watch her slowly walk towards death?
But what if they don't go back and encounter a leopard or another animal more dangerous than a leopard?
Dongyun was confused.
Nadeshiko's hands were injured, making it almost impossible for him to use the stone hammer. His wooden spear was also broken and thrown into the campfire as firewood. His left arm was also injured, so he was also unable to use the stone hammer.
It would take time to remake the wooden spear, but it would be difficult for him and Nadeshiko to cut down trees and carve wooden sticks to make a spear.
Given their current condition, can they remake the wooden spears before nightfall?
Shinonome expressed his doubts about this.
The stone hammer was too heavy, and it couldn't be used effectively without swinging it with both hands. Because of their injuries, it was difficult to carry, so Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko had no choice but to throw it away.
Now all they have left are meteor ropes and slings, but the former is not very lethal and the latter has limited lethality.
If they encounter a leopard again, theoretically the meteor bolt could entangle the leopard's legs, and the sling could injure the leopard. In reality, the leopard could easily dodge the meteor bolt and pounce on them before the sling could even be thrown.
Just like before, when he wanted to stab with his spear, he found that the leopard was too fast and had already pounced on him, so he could only try to block with his spear.
Spears, clubs, and lances are all the same; once someone gets close, it's basically game over.
Dongyun had discussed with the viewers what to do if they encountered a cheetah, a wild boar, or a monitor lizard. After much discussion, the optimal solution they came to was to avoid them altogether. If they absolutely had to encounter them, they should run if possible, and fight to the death if they couldn't escape.
As for what to do when these beasts charge at you, the answer given by the comments is to dodge first and then counterattack. Not dodging may not necessarily deliver a fatal blow, while the opponent is very likely to strike your vitals.
Humans, long since removed from primitive societies, are no match for the ferocious predators in the jungle who undergo survival of the fittest every day.
However, he did not dodge at the time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hide, but that he couldn't hide from Nadeshiko behind him.
"Nadeshiko," Shinonome said, looking at Kagamihara Nadeshiko, "let's go back first."
After thinking it over, he decided to go back first.
Nadeshiko's hands were injured, rendering her incapable of fighting. The jungle would be more dangerous after dark than during the day, so for Nadeshiko's safety, they had better go back.
After returning home, he rested for a night and made more thorough preparations so that he could explore the jungle alone the next day in search of cinchona trees.
This time, he made a mistake.
They actually let the leopard get close; otherwise, he and Nadeshiko might not have been injured.
However, things are easier said than done. He knew that with the leopard's agility and reflexes, getting close to him, even without a spear, wouldn't be difficult. But learning to use a spear wouldn't be something that could be done overnight, or even in a few days. It would require a long time and a sufficient supply of fatty foods.
To Shinonome's surprise, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who was usually very obedient, refused him this time, saying, "I don't want to go back. What will happen to Rin-chan if we go back without finding the medicine..."
Even the optimistic Nadeshiko Kagamihara couldn't be happy after experiencing the inability to find the cinchona tree, being attacked and injured by a leopard, and possibly being forced to return.
If they go back, wouldn't that be tantamount to sentencing Rin to death?
"I'll come back tomorrow. Trust me, I'll find the medicine."
Dongyun's words were both a comfort to Nadeshiko and a comfort to himself.
He will definitely find a cinchona tree or some other plant that can cure Rin-chan, and he will come back healthy and lively, without any missing limbs.
"No! I don't want to go back! I don't want you to come again tomorrow!"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko kept shaking her head.
After hearing Dongyun's words, she immediately understood what Dongyun meant: to send her back first, and then Xiaoyun would endure the pain and come to find the cinchona tree alone.
Will die!
Kagamihara Nadeshiko clearly realized that if Shinonome entered the jungle alone, he would likely die.
"Nadeshiko..."
Seeing that Nadeshiko was very agitated in her refusal, Dongyun wanted to persuade her to listen and not be willful, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say these words.
If Nadeshiko's reluctance to go back is considered willful, then isn't her desire to come back alone tomorrow also willful (?)?
He knew, and Nadeshiko knew, that in his current state, going into the jungle alone would be extremely dangerous, let alone encountering a leopard, even just a few spiders with human faces. He could kill one or two spiders, but if three, four, or even five of them jumped out at him, he would likely be attacked.
"Xiaoyun, you can't be reckless, you'll die."
Kagamihara Nadeshiko lowered her head, then turned to stare at Shinonome, her eyes filled with worry.
"Rin-chan will die if she doesn't act tough." A bitter smile appeared on Shinonome's face. "Besides, isn't it also acting tough if you don't go back?"
"I……"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko wanted to explain herself, but she didn't know how.
"It's alright. Since you don't want to go back, let's just be brave together." Shinonome patted Kagamihara Nadeshiko's head with his right hand and joked, "I believe in you, Pink Hound. You can definitely help us find the cinchona tree."
Upon hearing this, Kagamihara Nadeshiko was taken aback at first, but after understanding what Shinonome meant, she smiled happily and cooperated perfectly.
"Woof! Mission accomplished!"
"Why are you being so cooperative? Don't really think of yourself as a dog!"
Shinonome was amused by Kagamihara Nadeshiko's dog-like barking.
It seems the obedient and well-behaved Nadeshiko is back, but she's a little too obedient; she's even barking like a dog.
