Savage Love On His Wheelchair novel Chapter 101

“Ellen, do find something weird with the forest?” Edmund asked, looking forward.

Ellen took out a compass to examine, but it couldn’t point out the orientation.

“Yeah, it is like a labyrinth. Wherever we go, we return here.” Looking around at the trees, Ellen didn’t find anything wrong.

Edmund was very confused. Why does a forest, in which there is not even a resident, harbor such an eerie thing?

Suddenly, Edmund thought of something and pulled his companion’s arms, “Have you ever heard of such a forest near the Snowy Mountain?”

Looking at him in the eye, Ellen replied coldly, “No!”

But then Ellen instantly knew what his partner meant.

“You mean this is…”

The two men looked at each other, feeling a sense of horror.

Noticing it was almost dusk, Ellen hurriedly said, “Find some clearing to put up a tent, and spread sulfur and realgar around it. I will fetch some firewood.”

“Yes, watch out for your safety.”

Edmund pitched a tent as quickly as he could and made a large circle of sulfur and realgar around it.

The evening was imminent. He picked some dry twigs and made a fire near the tent.

Darkness was coming but Ellen hadn’t returned.

Edmund was about to seek him when Ellen came back with a lot of firewood in his arms.

He was about to welcome his companion back and the latter said, “Just make a bigger fire.!” Then the fire-wood fetcher rushed into the circle of sulfur and cast the fire-wood onto the flames. Seeing that enough was done, he cried to Edmund, “Come into the tent!”

Edmund was scarcely in the tent when he saw numerous snakes from nowhere crawling towards him.

Ellen hurried into the shelter and zipped it.

“It turned out to be true! This strategy works! We had a narrow escape.” Edmund said to his companion while looking at the snakes, which were deterred by the smell of sulfur.

Ellen uttered in a weak voice, “Ed, I…I…” And he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Edmund held him in his arms, in fear, “Ellen, are you okay?”

The lips of the patient turned purple.

Edmund realized that his partner was bitten by a snake.

He checked and found the wound in his shank. It was not deep, but the man would die if the venom made its way into the blood.

Edmund took out a knife and pieces of bandage from the traveling bag.

Then binding the higher part of the patient’s leg with a piece of bandage, he cut a crossing upon the wound and put upon it another piece of bandage.

What he did next was to suction out the poison.
