The strong fire in the camp can drive away many wild animals. If it weren't for the lack of conditions tonight, she would have climbed into a tree to sleep.
By the light of the fire, she began to examine the baby baboon's injuries.
Under the dancing flames, the uneasiness in the little baboon's bright black pupils was reflected.
She raised her voice like coaxing a kitten, spoke softly, and stroked the top of its head with her hand: "Be good, baby, I'll help you check the wound. It may hurt a little, but don't move around~ or it won't get better."
The amazing thing is that the little baboon really calmed down, with its big wet eyes open, and its nose followed Meng Qingtao's hand to sniff, and it was so well-behaved.
Perhaps it was because he had only been treated so tenderly by his mother. In the little baboon's understanding, it was his mother who touched him like this.
Seeing the baboon calm down, Meng Qingtao began to pull at the wound on its hind leg.
If you were close to the fire, you could see clearly that it must have been bitten by some animal. The flesh was penetrated, leaving four tooth holes and bleeding trickling out. The bleeding needed to be stopped as soon as possible.
She knew that there was a creature called madder growing on the savannah, which could be used to stop bleeding, and she quickly looked around for it.
Fortunately, this thing is very common on the grassland, and there is a large patch of madder around.
She first used her scarf to clean the blood and dirt around the baboon's skin, and then applied the crushed madder powder mixed with the juice to the bleeding area.
Then break off the branches and fix its legs with straw ropes to prevent it from running around and causing bleeding again before the injury is healed.
The baboon did not cause any trouble during the whole process.
"Oh my, our baby is so good? I'll call you Xiao Guai from now on, okay?"
Meng Qingtao touched the top of his furry head, and it felt pretty good.
"Uh-huh -" Xiaoguai responded obediently, and then rested against Meng Qingtao's chest.
The little boy had been frightened all day and fell asleep quickly.
Meng Qingtao tidied up the area around the shelter, washed the bloody scarf, dried it in front of the campfire, and used it to wrap the little boy as a quilt.
Then she washed her face with stream water, cleaned the exposed skin of her legs, then lay down in the shelter, hugged the little boy in her arms, and gradually fell asleep.
After a night of light sleep, there were always small and unknown sounds all around. Meng Qingtao slept uneasily until she fell asleep completely near daylight.
In the early morning, a "rumbling" sound woke up the little girl from his sleep. Meng Qingtao, who was woken up, opened his sleepy eyes and couldn't figure out the situation.
Xiaoguai seemed very anxious, and Xiuyi regained his original liveliness as a primate all night, pulling up and down with his forelimbs.
"Zhizhi - Zhizhi, Zhizhi -"
"What's wrong, little darling?" She crawled out of the shelter and looked up at the sky, "It doesn't look like it's going to rain. It shouldn't be thunder. What is that sound?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice came again.
"Rumble--"
"Ouch——"
"Oh my god, is this the roar of a lion???"
Meng Qingtao was completely awake and put her ears to the ground to hear more clearly.
It sounded like the lion was far away from me, but the sound was too penetrating and scared Xiaoguai.
This is...what about morning exercise?
Meng Qingtao once saw an ugly male lion when he visited a zoo. The commentator explained that it would roar several times between 16:00 and 17:00 every afternoon. It was quite interesting, and even because of this He is also famous as a little internet celebrity in this zoo.
"Don't be afraid, little darling, there is no danger~" She picked up the little darling, patted its back a few times comfortingly, and then opened the fixed branch, "Let me see how the wound is doing?"
The effect of madder on hemostasis was very good and the bleeding had stopped, but the wound was very deep and the edges were somewhat necrotic.
"Oh, what a pitiful little boy." She rubbed Xiaoguai's head with pity, and Xiaoguai looked at her in confusion as she carefully wiped her wound with a scarf dipped in water, and softly called out a few times.
"Well, okay, now we can only wait for the wound to heal slowly on its own."
She put down the little boy and planned to see if there was any food nearby.
"Zhizhi, zhizhi..."
Feeling something tugging at her leg socks, Meng Qingtao looked down and said, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoguai held her with one hand and saw that she had stopped, so he quickly climbed up to her arms along the socks, tops and coats with both hands: "Zhizhizhi——"
Meng Qingtao, whose arms were full after being hit, asked: "...What are you doing?"
Xiaoguai stared at her without moving his eyes and didn't let go of his hands.
"...You want to follow me to find something to eat?"
"Squeak!"
[Hahahahahahahahaha, this monkey is so smart! 】
[Xiao Guai is really good! ! I also know that I am worried about the baby who is so considerate]
[Xiaomeng, just take Xiaoguai there! We don't worry about leaving it alone as a monkey. 】
[The little girl’s big, watery eyes, wow, are even brighter than wearing colored contact lenses. They’re so cute! 】
【I go! Are you serious? This baboon's face is so hairy that it gives me nightmares. How can you say it's so cute? ? 】
【It’s just so cute! This guy with small arms and legs, big eyes, and a small face has a very good personality! 】
【......Fine】
[It is not appropriate to apply the aesthetic bullying of humans to animals. They have been like this for thousands of years. We must respect nature. 】
Nangong Yuan suddenly airborne, and his slightly serious speech caused a sensation.
[Wow wow wow, it’s Teacher Nangong again! ! 】
[Teacher Nangong is so elusive! ! I want to die in this live broadcast room, squatting with Teacher Nangong! ! 】
His speech was quickly followed up.
"..." Being too popular is also a worry. People always pay more attention to him than to his speech.
In order to divert everyone's enthusiasm, Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and asked a question: [Students, anchor Xiao Meng's live broadcast these two days is very educational. Do you still remember how she stopped the bleeding of the little baboon? 】
Nangong Yuan's question couldn't help but make everyone joke that he only went online to popularize science, and he tried to test everyone by taking advantage of every opportunity.
【Me me me! I know, it uses a kind of herbal medicine, which looks a bit like a white version of rapeseed flowers! ! 】
[Pfft...this classmate is very imaginative. 】
The fans who rushed to answer were so impressed by the short line of text.
Then Nangong Yuan quickly revealed the answer:
[This kind of grass is called madder and is very common in the tropical grasslands where Xiao Meng lives. Madder is cold in nature and bitter in taste. It has the effects of cooling blood and removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding and promoting menstruation. The roots can also be used to make dyes, etc...]
[Wow, thank you Teacher Nangong for the popular science! ! 】
[Teacher Nangong, let’s talk a little more! ! 】
When some people saw that he didn't answer the call anymore, they thought he was going offline and asked him to stay.
Nangong Yuan, who just wanted to watch the live broadcast quietly: "..."
[No more chatting, everyone watch the live broadcast. 】
As soon as he spoke, the barrage fell into silence for a moment.
【OK】
【clear】
【receive】
【111111】
