Jack Dawson looked at the girl speechlessly and said, “My clothes are a bit tattered, and my hair is a bit messy, but you can’t talk like that. Besides, shouldn’t you get up now and let me take a look at the girl who’s been poisoned?”
“No, no.” The girl in the light red top quickly waved her hands. She had already calmed down and was sure that Jack Dawson wasn’t a wild man or any kind of dangerous person. Then she remembered her companion, hurriedly got up, and said anxiously and fearfully, “Molly Young was bitten by a snake, and there’s no antivenom here at all…”
The girl in red stepped aside, and only then did Jack Dawson get a clear look at the girl who had been bitten by the snake.
This girl was wearing a loose purple top, and her jeans had several tears. Her face was a bit pale, her lips were dry and purplish, and she was lying on the ground completely unconscious.
Even so, Jack Dawson could still tell that she was a very beautiful girl. He bent down and opened her eyelids to check.
“Big brother, can Xiao Mu still be saved?” The girl in red saw Jack Dawson bend down and asked urgently, her eyes filled with anxiety and unease.
“She can be saved.” Jack Dawson nodded. This girl in purple was already deeply poisoned. According to Jack Dawson’s memories from his previous life, with this level of poisoning, unless she was in a hospital right now, it would be a dead end. But since she had met him, it was no problem at all.
His medical skills were unmatched in Ji Country. If he hadn’t been searching for the prescription to unlock martial roots and hadn’t truly practiced medicine, he, Jack Dawson, would have already become famous throughout Ji Country as a master of medicine.
The snakebite wound was on the girl’s left calf. The pant leg had already been rolled up, and there was a purplish mark from the snake bite. Judging by the look of it, some of the venom had already been squeezed out once.
Jack Dawson simply used a dagger to make two cuts at the wound, squeezed out some black blood with his hand, then took a few herbs from his backpack, chewed them into a pulp, and applied them directly to the wound.
Then he took out golden needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points on the girl in purple.
In less than five minutes, Jack Dawson put away the dagger and golden needles and said, “She’s fine now. She’ll wake up in a few more minutes.”
“Ah…” The round-faced girl looked at Jack Dawson in disbelief, hesitated, and said, “But big brother, I see that the poisonous blood at the wound hasn’t been completely removed.”
She had seen with her own eyes that when Jack Dawson applied the herbs to Emily Young, he hadn’t completely cleared out the poisonous blood.
“It’s fine. I’ve already used a method to draw the poisonous blood into the herbs…”
“Sarah Foster…” Before Jack Dawson could finish speaking, the girl in purple woke up. She called out Sarah Foster, then saw Jack Dawson standing to the side looking like a wild man, and the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat. If she hadn’t seen Sarah Foster first before seeing Jack Dawson, she might have screamed just like Sarah Foster did.
“Emily Young, you’re really okay, that’s wonderful…” The round-faced girl called Sarah Foster was overjoyed. Before she could finish, she remembered that it was Jack Dawson who had saved Emily Young, and quickly said, “Emily Young, it was this big brother who saved you.”
Jack Dawson could see that the two of them still had some worries in their eyes, so he quickly said, “I’m also a tourist. I got lost in here, which is why I look like this.”
Hearing that Jack Dawson was also a tourist, Emily Young breathed a sigh of relief and quickly struggled to sit up. “Thank you, big brother, for saving my life. I was bitten by a venomous snake. If you hadn’t helped me, I would definitely be dead. Your medical skills are truly amazing.”
Emily Young was a medical student herself, so she knew better than anyone what kind of snake venom she had. She had thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, she was saved in such a place. It was clear that the person who saved her had extraordinary medical skills.
Jack Dawson waved his hand. “I just happened to see others do this before and learned a bit. I wouldn’t dare call it medical skill. By the way, do you have a map to get out of here?”
He had a map in his own bag, but he simply couldn’t make sense of it.
Chapter 7: The Mysterious Wooden Bridge
“The stuff is in the backpack. We lost all our things.” Sarah Foster blushed. Speaking of which, the reason she and Emily Young ended up in this situation was entirely because of her.
Jack Dawson frowned, but didn’t continue to ask how Emily Young and Sarah Foster ended up here.
Seeing Jack Dawson frown, Sarah Foster quickly said, “Emily Young and I, along with two other friends, went to visit Wangchuan Temple. I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly saw a wooden bridge I’d never seen before. I’ve been to Wangchuan Temple a few times, and there was never such a wooden bridge before. I thought it was a new attraction, so I stepped onto the bridge. But as soon as I did, I saw several gray wolves, and I was so scared that I ran…”
Emily Young continued where Sarah Foster left off, “When I saw Sarah Foster running, I ran after her. Sarah Foster said there were several gray wolves. Although I didn’t see them myself, I didn’t think she was lying. As a result, we lost our bags and phones along the way, and now we’re completely lost. These past few days, we’ve been surviving on wild fruits and roots, plus a few pieces of chocolate.”
“You really saw wolves?” Jack Dawson was a bit puzzled. Logically, since Wangchuan Temple was a tourist spot, it shouldn’t be possible for several gray wolves to appear at the same time.
