Chapter 27 Leech King

But I saw those things coyly intertwined together, like a couple embracing each other tightly in love, but they were different sizes.

The fatter ones are as big as the thighs of an adult man, and the smaller ones are about the size of the soles of feet. They are very terrifying, but also extremely soft and twisting.

"Old, old, old - boss, go explore the road, can you find out what these are?"

Black Glasses obviously didn't expect this accident, and calmly said, "On the way forward, the walls gradually became smoother. I thought they were just stones on the walls and didn't pay attention. But I didn't expect that these uneven places were full of them." Entanglement of living creatures.”

The thing lying on Li Lvyan's backpack suddenly felt something, stretched out its body softly, and suddenly straightened its body with a push-up. It stood halfway up and faced the three of them. The thing's surface was dark. There is also a bit of viscous liquid, and the abdomen is flat, gray-green without mottled markings, and there are ring lines. There are two suckers on the top and bottom, which are very obvious. When it stands up, it squirms towards the three of them as if to say hello. When it came, Li Green Ant stopped being afraid and his eyes lit up, "Isn't this a leech?"

"leech?!"

Wogua and Black Glasses looked at Li Lvyan in unison. Li Lvyan nodded, dusted off the backpack that had fallen by the wall, put it on his back and smoothed over the clothes that were wrinkled by Wogua. He was no longer so scared.

"Don't worry, I thought it was some kind of man-eating monster, but to a certain extent, this thing just eats people."

Leeches, commonly known as leeches or water leeches, are cold-blooded annelids with extremely high medicinal value. They live in water all year round and have good prospects for artificial breeding. It likes to live in rice fields, ditches, shallow water, dirty ponds, etc. It likes to suck the blood of humans and animals. It moves very quickly, can swim in waves, and escapes very quickly. It is most active when spring is warm and flowers are blooming. They lay eggs from June to October and hibernate in winter. Their survival ability is comparable to that of Xiaoqiang.

"Don't worry, this thing only sucks blood and does not eat human flesh. If it is artificially bred, it will only feed on fish, earthworms, shells, plant residues, etc. It is non-toxic and pollution-free."

Wo Gua jumped immediately and said, "What are the leeches and fire leeches? They turn out to be leeches."

Black Glasses was still a little dazed. Wo Gua stretched out his hand to pat Black Glasses' shoulder, but in the cold eyes of Black Glasses, he retracted his hand angrily, "Brothers, you are from a big city, so you probably don't know who this leech is." What."

But now that he knew it was a leech, Wo Gua immediately went into rogue mode. He held one end of the leech that was squirming towards a few people and put it on his arm. He said proudly, "In our countryside, things like leeches can also be exchanged for money." When we were young, our elders used nets to catch fish, and the fish baskets were taken out from the muddy pond. There was a basket of these things in there. We even went out to catch leeches, and after they were dried, someone came to collect them. We could clean up one bag a week. cigarette!"

The leech did not eat people. It was crawling around on the back of Zaowogua's hand. Just as he was about to suck blood, Wogua pulled the leech off again and put it on the other arm again.

Li Green Ant wiped his sweat: It turns out that the living things on the wall are all leeches, and luckily they are leeches. If they are poisonous snakes, scorpions, etc., it is estimated that there are so many relatives here, bringing their families with them, and the three of them have to go to bed early. .

Black Glasses saw that this thing couldn't cause much damage, so he immediately canceled the attack mode he had just started. Wo Gua was heartless and could not think of something, but Li Green Ant frowned: The living habits of this leech, It is a place with water. Even if there is no water, it must be moist. Where do so many leeches come from in this beautiful mountain tomb passage? And there are so many of them?

Those leeches simply don't attack people. Now that they have taken off their guard, there is nothing to worry about for a while.

"Corporal Dung Beetle, you said that the huge mountain just now was going to crush us to death. Could it be this army of leeches?"

Li Green Ant shook his head, "No matter how many leeches there are, we will definitely be able to see the clues if we press them directly. At that time, there was a whole smooth wall crushing towards us. Although it was dim, the basic situation was still Can see clearly."

After looking around, apart from the fact that these leeches were entangled together and felt a little disgusting, there was really no serious harm. They still had to find a way out. Li Green Ant patted Wo Gua on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, stop playing. If it falls down smoothly, just push it back and let's go."

Wo Gua reluctantly put the leech back on the wall. After a while, it became entangled with other leeches and was indistinguishable. He put his hands behind his head and watched the leeches on the wall become more and more sparse, feeling a little bored. "You think, if this is also a trap Liu Jing used to set up, to make the tomb robbers retreat, then if we encounter experts like us who know leeches, we will not be able to deal any damage at all. This Liu Jing not only lacks intelligence, he also lacks eyesight."

Li Green Ant shined his wolf-eye flashlight around, and for some unknown reason, the leeches on the wall suddenly fell into an extremely crazy commotion. They seemed unable to calm down. It was a bit strange, but Wo Gua responded calmly, "Maybe there are others." The back-up plan is just to make us neglect our precautions."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge "bang" sound, as if falling from the top, but not far away from the darkness, there seemed to be a dark figure crawling towards the dusty side, with wolf eyes. The irradiation range of the flashlight is limited, and you can't see what it is from a distance, but the thing is moving very fast, and seems to be particularly soft, swaying from side to side, and coming towards this direction crazily, as if it is going to eat the three people alive. .

The faces of the three people changed: Apart from those leeches that can't do any harm, are there other monsters here?

But a few seconds later, what came into view was a giant leech that was so huge that it almost filled a section of the tomb passage. It roared and squirmed towards the three of them, leaving no gaps in its path. The leeches were scraped by the giant leech and all fell on it. But even if these very large leeches fell on the giant leech and formed a circle, they still could not block the giant leech. The fierceness.

"Corporal Dung Beetle, what did you just say?"

Li Lvyan stared blankly at the precious thing he had seen in history, which was worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. He mechanically said, "The leeches will not do anything to us at all."

"What do you think now?"

Li Lvyan swallowed, pulled the stunned Wo Gua and shouted, "Run!!"

"Chichi", the giant leech moved very fast, almost as fast as an adult man's running speed. The three of them just took a breather and fell into a rapid run again. Wogua had already scolded him.

"I'm confused. I've just climbed a few mountains and crossed a few rivers. Why are there so many monsters and ghosts? In this tomb of King Guangling, the corpse can speak. I have experienced the slide in the water park. I have experienced it. I thought I had no regrets in this life, but I didn’t expect that this super giant, which can enter the Guinness Book of Records, would actually come to eat us? I’m really jealous of talents and beauty who died young. Could it be that this handsome man is going to become the first person in history to be raped? The generalissimo who was eaten by leeches?"

The running speed of the three of them was not as fast as that of the Big Mac, and the black glasses were the fastest. But if it wasn't for taking care of these two, they would have disappeared long ago. If the two of them hadn't used it, they would have been far faster than that. The leech had priority over a large distance and had already been crunched.

But it's not easy now. With the speed behind it, it can be seen that this giant can catch up in less than a minute. Li Lvyan looked miserable: This Liu Jing tomb is really weird. Since ancient times, people have used any means to achieve their goals. It’s not like I haven’t seen this before. I didn’t expect that I would see all kinds of obstacles, and some people would actually use leeches to block their own path to success. Sure enough, the wise words of the great revolutionary fighter truly live up to me!

The walls on both sides are just like the black glasses said, getting smoother and smoother, but there are still many small leeches living on the top of the head. I don't know if they are a gang committing the crime, but for the Big Mac's cannibalism, one by one. They rushed to fall on the three of them, so after just a few steps, a thick layer of leeches fell on the backs of Li Lvyan and Wo Gua. The two of them beat them with their Luoyang shovels and grabbed the leeches desperately. He tried to move away from his body, struggling endlessly.

The black glasses showed their power at this moment. The leeches falling from the sky wanted to fall on him. Although he didn't look at the top at all, he could clearly know that those leeches were about to fall. He struck first to stop the leeches, but the hidden weapons he shot continuously were... It was something like poisonous needles, densely packed in circles, making it impossible for the leeches to bite.

Bullshit.

Li Luyi and Wo Gua took some time out of their busy schedules to see Black Glasses doing this, and sincerely sighed: It seems that Black Glasses learned this trick from Bian Que and Hua Tuo, and they are also good at hanging silk darts.

The most difficult thing was Li Lvyan and Wo Gua. They were trying to pull off the blood-sucking leeches while running for their lives. Wo Gua used a Luoyang shovel with a missing corner to try and kill the leech that crawled into his neck. Unexpectedly, he missed the target. Yes, he was slapped on the back of the head with a "scandium" sound, which made him dizzy and almost fell down.

Li Lvyan was shocked, "Wo Gua, what's wrong with you? Although the revolutionary environment is very difficult, you must cheer up and never give up on yourself. As the saying goes, 'If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about having no firewood.' Think about it. If you go out You want to feast on the turtle soup and think about the soy sauce bones! The most important thing is that the last person you came into contact with before dying was me. Although your death has nothing to do with me, I will definitely be detained. Besides, the funeral expenses are so high. Gui, I don’t know where your private money is hidden. If I advance it to you, can you return it to me by mail?!”

Wo Gua shook his head desperately to stay awake and cursed angrily, "You are a shit beetle. You don't expect me to order anything else every day. You only worry about my funeral expenses. I tell you, my boss's funeral expenses are all." There are nine lives. If you can't die, isn't it just a bed bug? It takes a minute to crush it, but because of the dangerous revolutionary environment, you just don't care about it. Otherwise, when this kind of thing comes out, you can find a hundred Come on, Commander-in-Chief——"

Looking back at the giant leech with dense fangs in its mouth, Wo Gua shrank his neck and shouted, "Now the best strategy is to use the thirty-sixth strategy!"

The leeches that continued to fall from the top of the head gradually decreased in the passage behind them, and the predicament of a few people was not as difficult as before. Later, I don’t know why, but the leeches that were chasing happily suddenly stopped, as if they were unwilling to do so. It reluctantly stopped. Just when Wo Gua thought it was a false surrender, the Big Mac turned back bitterly and went back the way it came. It really stopped pursuing it.

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year. It's a bit evil."

Wogua touched his chin and discussed the strange behavior of the giant leech with Li Lvyan. Their heads were slightly offset and bumped together. The two were startled at the same time. They could see each other's exposed skin with the help of the wolf-eye flashlight. , all dripping with blood, just like a blood sieve, I couldn't help but point at each other and laugh.

After laughing, Li Lvyan waved his hand, "There is solid fuel in the bag. Let's light it here first. It's not known that a lot of leeches got in along the collar when escaping just now. It's just a shake on the clothes." Small leeches can crawl in through a wound."

Wo Gua's neck shook, and he was really scared to death. He held a leech in his black glasses hand. For something that rarely appeared in his field of vision, he felt a little curious. Li Lv ant seemed to be casually saying, "What if this leech is fighting in the wild?" You can often see them in the swamps, you probably don’t belong to that group.”

"Yeah, these things have nothing to do with me -" Black Glasses paused, and his sharp eyes glanced at Li Lvyan. The sharp danger just now was followed by a sharp calm. Moreover, the atmosphere is still a bit happy now. Anyone in this situation can They will involuntarily relax and their alertness will be lowered accordingly. Inadvertent words like chatting, without any utilitarian questions, are easier for people to ignore and tell the true answer. Li Lvyan takes advantage of this. See I asked this question when the time was right.

The eyes under the black glasses narrowed slightly: Well, I didn't want to hide it from him originally, but it seems that Li Lvyan was the first to find out, but he was tricked in this way, which always makes people feel a little bit accurate.

When the flame was not strong, Li Lvyan took out an iron grate and heated it, and asked Wogua to take off his clothes. Wogua hesitated and glanced at the black glasses next to him, "Do you want to take off all of them?"

"Nonsense, the leech doesn't know where to dig. If it's really there, you'll have to cut it after you get out."

"Cut it?" The tone of the melon suddenly raised four levels, for fear that it would take off all the clothes if it was too late. Because the meat of the melon is thick, the leech will drill deeper, so I am also afraid that the leech will drill deeper, Li Green Ant So he chose the first one to deal with Wo Gua first.

The more than two hundred kilograms of fat meat on Wo Gua's body trembled several times under the irradiation of the flames. Li Lvyi took a deep breath and said, "Wo Gua, you should take it easy after you get out."

"No, no, no, people are made of iron. Besides, I have been in the grave for such a long time, eating nothing but compressed biscuits. My tongue is tied after eating them. Why are you depriving me of this last bit of happiness?"

Wo Gua pulled his skin one after another, as if to endure the pain and divert his attention. He watched the leeches falling off his body one after another and fell to the ground. Soon the head and tail curled up and dried up, and bent into full stops. He was shocked, "Are there really so many?"

"Actually, when leeches enter the skin, it is best to use salt. But there is no salt, so we will use this most primitive method."

Li Lvyan took out the first aid kit, found a serum, and quickly shook his head, "Why do you need to take the injection?"

"Being bitten by a leech or getting deep into the skin will cause local bleeding and rash. If the wound is seriously contaminated, you must be injected with tetanus antivenom. Do you still want to go out and eat meat alive?"

There are many infected parts on Wo Gua's body, and the wounds are already seriously contaminated. Without anti-venom, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome in the future.

Frustrated, he put on his clothes and removed all the leeches for Li Lvyan as usual. The two of them collapsed on the ground after a while, surrounded by the corpses of leeches that had been scalded. Li Lvyan said half-jokingly, "I said before. It is impossible to make penicillin from local materials, and now ready-made medicines are delivered to your doorstep, and you can actually make anti-thromboxane with leeches, and there are many other medicines."

"Anti-thrombotic? What else can I do?"

"There are also middle parting, high blood pressure, siltation, irregular menstruation..."

"Come on, this stuff is just like unopened black fungus. Don't worry about my irregular menstruation. You must have made it up."

Li Lvyan Zhengse "is not right," "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" says, "Leech has a salty taste. It is mainly used to expel evil blood, blood stasis, and accumulation of broken blood in the mass... to produce pools." And "Tangye Materia Medica" says, "Leech" , bitter to drain blood, salty to overcome blood, Zhongjing used horseflies and leeches in the decoction, salty and bitter to drain animal blood, so the "Jing" says that there is a reason why there is no death.'"

"The main active ingredients of leeches are macromolecular compounds, such as hirudin, heparin, histamine, hirudin and amino acids. They are the strongest specific inhibitors of thrombin identified so far. The amino acid content in leeches is high, There are many types, and 17 types of amino acids have been extracted, most of which are essential amino acids for the human body. These amino acids are directly involved in the synthesis of various enzymes and hormones, thereby regulating metabolic balance."

Wo Gua's face froze, "Can it really cure irregular menstruation?"

Li Lvyan nodded solemnly, "Really. But I can't do it." And if you rob tombs now, it has nothing to do with irregular menstruation.

The three of them rested for a long time. Black Glasses was just like Hei Wuchang with excessive combat power. He did not participate in any mortal discussions and only made necessary and to-the-point speeches when necessary.

After getting along with Black Glasses for a long time, the two of them also knew that this was the nature of Black Glasses, but they didn't take it to heart.

The tomb passage finally began to become completely smooth, but Wo Gua still had lingering fears. From time to time, he used a flashlight to shine on the top of the tomb, for fear that there would be some leeches on the top that would burrow down his neck and into his belly, and then be fattened by himself. The folds between his flesh made him breathe hard, and those who didn't know thought he was protecting wild animals.

"What do you think that leech king just grew up on?"

"If a species mutates, most of it is related to the environment in which it lives. Maybe when we go further and understand why Liu Jing built a tomb here, we will know his brain circuit. "

This Liu Jing is indeed not a normal person. Who would keep a leech as a pet?
