Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? Chapter 236 - Injury

Chapter 236: Injury

Bell ran back to his shelter with the jaguar’s hind leg.
He climbed into the hammock and heaved a sigh of relief.
Bell took off his jacket and pants and wrung out the water on them. He began to carefully check his wounds.
On the left shoulder blade, there was a five-centimeter wound that almost passed through the back of Bell’s neck.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep.!!
If it was too deep, it could take Bell’s life.
However, the injury looked a little scary.
Bell’s physique was not bad. His wound was no longer bleeding.
If it were in a city, such superficial wounds would at most be bandaged.
With his physique, it could quickly heal and form scabs.
But now, Bell was in the Amazon rainforest.
Such an injury was a little troublesome for him.
There were many bacteria on the jaguar’s claws.
There were also various sources of infection in the forest.
It was still raining heavily. It was very easy to be infected by the rain.
These insignificant issues could very well become fatal dangers.
“Our current situation is not too optimistic.
In the Amazon rainforest, being injured is a very troublesome thing.
The probability of infection is almost 100%, and it might even cause sepsis. ”
Bell dried his T-shirt and carefully wiped the rain from his wound.
“I’m not trying to scare you. There have been such cases in the past.
A survivalist in the Amazon rainforest accidentally fell and cut his hand. The wound was not big, only the size of a fingernail, but it was this wound that caused him to suffer sepsis. In the end, he had to ask the rescue team to end his program. ”
“I don’t know if my situation will be like his. However, I need to find some plants that can remove bacteria tomorrow. Otherwise, if the wound is infected, this show can only be considered a failure.”
Putting down the T-shirt, Bell began to check the injuries on his shoulders.
The shoulder blades of the human body are wrapped in muscles, so it is not easy to damage the bones.
Bell moved around and touched it a few more times.
He realized the extent of his injuries.
His left shoulder blade should have broken.
He could not lift anything heavy for the time being.
The scapula on the right side was much better. Although there was pain, it was not particularly obvious and did not affect basic movement.
This relieved Bell.
If both his shoulder blades were broken, he could consider this episode as over.
Other than his shoulder blades and back and neck, he was not injured anywhere else.
It was a blessing in disguise.
After all, he had fought with a jaguar.
Holding the dagger, he cut off a piece of meat from the jaguar’s hind leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed for a while and swallowed it.
It was very difficult for people to adapt to eating raw meat for the first time.
However, after recording so many episodes of Wilderness Survival, Bell was getting familiar with this feeling.
Sometimes, he even felt that the taste was not bad.
No matter what, it was much better than eating the maggots and insects.
If there was a flaw, it might be that the raw meat was too tough, and it was a little troublesome to chew.
Normally, a small piece of raw meat would take a long time to swallow.
Especially since Bell had chosen the hind leg.
Bell said as he chewed the raw meat.
“The thigh meat of the jaguar is not bad. It’s better than beef.
Eating raw meat has the risk of parasites.
However, there’s something you might not know. Raw meat is much more nutritious than cooked meat. ”
Bell’s physique was very high.
Although his size was not very big, the amount of protein he consumed every day was not less than that of an adult man. In fact, it was much more.
Especially in this situation when he was injured.
If the cells needed to repair themselves, they would naturally consume more energy.
This jaguar’s hind leg weighed about 20 kilograms.
Bell had already eaten half of it.
Bell rubbed his cheeks.
His expression was a little depressed.
“If I eat raw meat for a year, I think my cheeks will definitely be muscular.”
With the humidity and temperature of the Amazon rainforest, the meat could rot in a night.
Bell had no choice in this situation.
Under normal circumstances, meat would deteriorate in about four hours in hot weather.
What Bell could do now was to eat as much as possible.
He could not eat this meat when he woke up.
After a full meal, Bell rubbed his sore shoulder.
With food, he felt much better.
Bell carefully lay down to avoid moving too much and making his wound bleed again.
On the simple hammock, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.
“Today is our first day in the Amazon rainforest.
Our luck cannot be considered good.
Moreover, this rainforest is clearly not friendly to humans.
To be honest, if the wound on the back of my neck were to be even slightly deeper, this show would probably be over.
Among all the survival rounds so far, this Amazon rainforest should be the greatest challenge for me.
This place is filled with danger. If I am not careful, I can easily lose my life.
I am already very tired today and need a good rest.
If you like my live broadcast, click follow and send hearts.
Then, this is it for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
With that, Bell closed the camera.
He lay in the hammock and slowly closed his eyes.
The day’s activities had exhausted him. Now that he was lying down, this exhaustion enveloped his entire body like a tide.
If it were in the past, Bell would have long fallen asleep.
But Bell was injured. Pain kept coming from his shoulders.
It made Bell unable to sleep.
This contrasting feeling was very uncomfortable.
Bell could only lie in the hammock obediently.
In the end, exhaustion overcame the pain and he fell asleep.
The night gradually fell.
China, Shanghai, Discovery Channel headquarters.
Li Ze was in charge of the film rights to Bell’s show.
His job could be said to be quite idle.
His daily task was to edit Bell’s live broadcast.
One episode would usually last for about 40 minutes.
The program’s viewership ratings were very high.
This also made him pay more attention to Bell.
