Chapter 57: Autumn Feng
Seeing Tuya's abnormal expression, Ye Ke looked at her strangely, it was the first time he had seen this female man-like female squirm so much, so he asked, "Tuya, what do you want to say?"
"Uh..."Tuya looked like an indescribable look, humming and chirping for a long time before she opened her mouth as if she had made a decision, "Ke'er, you said last time... That root can cure leg pain, right?"
The root of 'Qiu Feng' was originally identified as having the effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain, treating rheumatism and bone pain, dysentery and other diseases, but Ye Ke didn't know how to use medicine, she didn't specifically study about the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
It's because I've read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" because of interest, but I don't remember much of the content, in short, most of the things that can be used are common sense.
"Is someone suffering from leg pain?" Ye Ke asked tentatively, as far as she knew, although the dry season here was dry, except for this season, the remaining three seasons were very humid, especially the rainy season.
A few days ago, I heard Tucker say that the rainy season has been raining almost uninterrupted, and the valley is going to be flooded, and there should be a lot of rheumatism and bone pain in that season, and there should be a lot of joint pain, but now that the weather is so hot, shouldn't it have a soothing effect compared to that kind of humid weather?
Speaking of the symptoms of leg pain, Tuya looked at Ye Ke in a daze, her eyes were very empty, and she seemed to be recalling something.
Many seasons have passed since adulthood, and Tuya still remembers that at the coming-of-age ceremony, she was quite confident in her strength, and she only went out to mate with the male who defeated her, and that person's participation was unexpected, and after many males failed, she was defeated in a few rounds.
He said, "Females are supposed to concentrate on giving birth to their cubs in the cave and learn what males do all day long." ”
He said, "You lose, and you'll be my female from today on." ”
He said, "When I come back this time, I will give you the most beautiful flame fox skin, and then we will make a contract, wait for me..."
Later, he came back, crawling back to the tribe with all his might, and did not bring back the flame fox, but he was seriously injured, his legs were bloody and fleshy, and his eyes were full of despair.
Not responding to Tuya's hysteria, the tribesmen carried him to the altar and waited for the blessing of the beast god, and even the weather was gloomy that day.
At that time, most of the clansmen were first-level beast souls, and their recovery ability was very weak, including him, and after a week, he was sent to the periphery of the tribe by the patriarch.
The dark and damp environment only made the condition worse, and he refused to see everyone, refused all the help, as if he was bent on death, so after a while, he could no longer stand up.
"Hmm... He..."Tuya was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xing Han...
"Tuya... Grandma Ona's leg hurts, Ke'er will go to see it, you go back first..."Xing Han's eyes were cold, like a cold light piercing Tuya's heart.
He knew Tuya's thoughts, but whether the person himself was willing to treat it was also a question, if he let Ye Ke go to the periphery of the tribe, Xing Han was unwilling, and he still needed to think about it in the long run.
"I... I know..."Tuya's lips trembled uncontrollably, she just wanted to ask how to use medicine, and she didn't want Ye Ke to go to that kind of place, but even if she went, it was not allowed, so she turned around and ran out of the cave.
"Huh?" How did Ye Ke feel that Tuya was weird? It seemed to be a very sad feeling, that kind of emotional outpouring that only a woman could feel, if it was really for Grandma Ona, it wouldn't be this kind of performance.
looked at Xing Han again, "Does Grandma Ao Na have leg pain?" Ye Ke always felt that things were not so simple, and he couldn't say what was wrong.
But Ona does have, mild rheumatism and bone pain, especially when the season changes, it is extremely unbearable, lying in the cave all day.
"Well, Kerr can go and see it tomorrow at sunset. Xinghan smiled, and there was no trace of peace on his face, "Tucker also thinks about you all day long. ”
"Hmm~" Ye Ke set her eyes on the roots of the 'Qiu Feng' tree again, thinking that traditional Chinese medicine is generally applied externally and internally, "It is a three-point poison, and it is a bit unsafe for internal use~" She thought that it should be safer to grind these roots into powder and make them look like plasters after they are exposed to the sun tomorrow.
"Okay, then let's go and see it tomorrow!" Speaking of which, she hasn't been to the caves of other clansmen yet.
Then Ye Ke poured two cups of horizontal spare salt to clean his teeth, and then rested, and he has maintained this habit during this time.
The main reason is that her teeth are not very good, she used to always have a toothache, and there is no toothbrush here, so she can only wipe it with salt, and occasionally chew a small piece of mint leaf to remove the taste.
And the transplanted mint in that pot didn't grow very well, and it was barely alive all the time, and the leaves were almost wiped out.
At night, the earth, which had been scorched for a day, was finally cool, blowing from the depths of the rainforest, with a slightly damp breeze, bringing a touch of coolness to the tribe.
And in a cave, but still flashing fire, Tuya sat outside the cave, looking in a direction outside the valley, unable to return to her senses for a long time, she held a string of animal tooth necklaces in her hand, gently groping.
The animal teeth on the necklace were all delicate, as if they were often rubbed, and each surface was rounded, and it appeared exceptionally bright at night, as if each one was shining with milky white light.
It was another day of being woken up by the heat, Ye Ke peeled off all the hides on the stone bed, and lay on it to cool down, she was embarrassed to hang on Xing Han like a koala every day.
"Why don't you catch me..."Xing Han had just dried the roots of the autumn maple tree outside the cave, and when he came back, he saw Ye Ke, who looked like he was eager to get into the stone bed, and couldn't bear to propose.
"No... I have to get used to it slowly..."Ye Ke raised his head and said, and immediately put his face on the stone bed, and spent another long day like this.
Towards the evening, I took a cold shower, and only then did I feel that I was alive, Ye Ke wiped his hair half-dry, and casually draped it behind him, "Let's go see Grandma Ona, I don't want to eat yet." ”
In fact, she drank too much water, and she felt that as soon as she left, she could hear the sound of "gurgling" water in her stomach.
Broke off a section of the roots of the autumn maple tree, let Xing Han hold a pot for pounding medicine, and a pre-cut piece of animal skin, and the two of them walked to Grandma Ona's cave with straw hats.
"Is Tuya Grandma Ona's cub?" Ye Ke remembered that Tuya had always been very good to Grandma Ona, and her attitude was also very respectful, looking like a mother and daughter.
"It's not. Xing Han held the stone pot with one hand and helped Ye Ke with the other hand to go down, "Tuya's father and mother are gone, and it was Grandma Ona who brought them up...... Me too. ”
