-I’m going to take a bath!
-Have you forgotten what I said?
It was then that Micaela remembered that she was about to get her period.
But it was a unique opportunity, Micaela couldn’t help pleading with a red face.
-It hasn’t arrived yet, I’m going to wash quickly.
-Sleep, don’t go anywhere! -Carlos did not hesitate to refuse.
He also had a selfish intention that every inch of her was his, he should not show himself to anyone else, not even to women!
-It’s my first time, I really want to go…..
-You can’t get sick, little one. Just in case you catch a cold and your body is not so resistant to medicines, do you know how worried I would be?
-Okay…
-I’ll boil some hot water for you later. Tomorrow, when we get to the next county, you can wash up, ok? -Carlos kissed her forehead and said.
Micaela was filled with excitement and nodded obediently.
Carlos helped Micaela to sit down, the two of them sat in the small space. The incandescent light from above shone on Carlos’ face, those few scars on his face left faint traces.
Micaela’s heart broke at the sight and she touched them gently.
-This mark will fade, won’t it?
Seeing the concern and love in her eyes, Carlos felt a softness in his heart and embraced her.
-Will you dislike me if it doesn’t fade?
-How can it be! -Micaela exclaimed and looked at him seriously. It’s not that I like you because you’re handsome…..
Looking into his deep eyes, she was about to look away, when Carlos cupped her chin and his thin lips came close to hers….
-Alba, be careful, there’s a snake!
From outside came Coco’s terrified scream.
Micaela was startled and immediately pushed Carlos to get out, but he was dragged away by Carlos.
Micaela’s eyes were filled with anxiety.
-Let me go, I’ll be careful! If they don’t have their clothes on, I’ll call you when I see what’s going on!
Carlos did not feel comfortable letting go of her hand, Micaela immediately went out and saw the river bank, everyone’s clothes were almost dressed. Alba was standing buttoning her clothes when she heard Coco’s shout and stopped moving.
The men in the tent wanted to run away, but they didn’t know if they were dressed or not, so they didn’t dare to take a step.
Romina, who was close to Alba, screamed in fright and ran away, while Coco and Albina, who were farther away, dressed quickly and looked around to get a stick.
Micaela had already grabbed a stick in her hand and ran towards it. There really was a green snake at Alba’s feet, coiled in a heap, extremely close to her, spitting its red tongue and making hissing sounds!
-Alba, don’t move! -Micaela said.
Alba slowly lowered her head, and the moment she did, the snake bit Alba’s foot!
-Alba has been bitten!
Romina screamed loudly, and Ernesto, who was already anxious in the tent, no longer worried about anything, ran out to the place.
Carlos also ran there quickly and saw that Micaela had a stick in her hand and was hitting the snake on the ground as hard as she could.
It was so painful, Alba fell to the ground, the snake kept biting and would not let go.
-Let go of Alba! -Micaela screamed with anxiety.
Ernesto grabbed the snake and threw it hard, the snake flew away and did not move. Maybe Ernesto squeezed it to death.
Carlos took Micaela in his arms and anxiously checked her body.
Micaela shook her head, her body trembling slightly, holding Carlos’ hand.
-I’m fine, how is Alba?
Ernesto knelt on the floor and lifted Alba’s foot. Two teeth marks like two small holes, blood gushed out.
The others came out quickly. The photographer saw that everyone was dressed, and quickly raised the camera to capture the accident.
Ernesto was helping Alba squeeze out the blood, which was so painful that Alba was in tears. Micaela squatted down next to her and hugged her.
The hiking cycle was long and, naturally, the program team had taken into account everything they could.
It was not uncommon to encounter snakes on a camping trip, but I had not expected to encounter one on the first trip and have someone get bitten.
One of the staff members, who was especially trained to understand medicine, took one look at the snake and said.
-It’s no good, this snake is poisonous, I’ll go get the serum!
Ernesto immediately lifted his foot without hesitation upon hearing it and sucked hard, to suck the poisonous blood for her.
The people around him were all very moved. Mr. Mancebo must have loved Alba very much. But how could he suck her directly with his mouth after being bitten by a poisonous snake, in case there were wounds in his mouth, the poison would spread to his own body, and it was faster than the poison from a bite on Alba’s foot.
Alba understood this and made an effort to withdraw her leg.
-Ernesto, you don’t do that.
Ernesto wouldn’t let her back away, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.
The staff quickly brought the box of medicine and, after injecting the serum, helped her dress the wound on her foot.
-Fortunately, it’s not a big problem. It’s not a very venomous snake, so don’t worry, Mr. Mancebo.
-What about him? Is he going to be all right? -Alba asked anxiously.
-As long as he has no wounds in his mouth he’ll be fine, besides the most poisonous blood has already been squeezed out up front, don’t worry.
-Then you inject him with something! Take precautions… -Alba became even more worried.
Ernesto smiled when he heard that.
“This woman now knows how to take care of him, it’s not easy!”
-I’m fine, I’m going back to the tent to rest.
-You have a wound in your mouth? -Alba said with a slightly red face.
-Why?
-I bit you yesterday…
Half-heartedly, she stopped talking and looked back, fortunately, no one had followed her.
Only then she turned and looked at Ernesto, who squeezed her arm and whispered:
-It’s cured, check it later if you don’t believe me…
