Chapter 56: Self-reliance
At the end of the day, I accompanied Kexin to set up a total of more than 40 ground bow sets in the mountains, and finally ran out of ropes, which was the only component that could not be made of local materials, so I had to stop.
But there are more than forty of them, and that's enough.
In the rich environment of beating roe deer and scooping fish with sticks in the mountains, pheasants flying into the rice pot, relying on these more than 40 ground bow sets, you can basically harvest enough prey every day. Even if I leave later, I am not afraid that these women will go hungry.
Along the way, if I encountered all kinds of flowers, mushrooms, vines, etc., I always broke off one and a half branches and brought them with me.
But when I saw that I had collected all kinds of weeds and flowers and made them into big bundles, he asked, "What are you doing with so many flowers and plants?"
I glanced at her with a smile: "Little brat, don't ask if you don't understand." ”
But when he heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to scratch me: "You're only a little kid! Aren't you six or seven years older than me, what's so great, it's not as big as my lobby brother at home." Hurry up and tell me, what are you collecting all this stuff for!"
This dead girl, who moves her hands and feet, always loves to twist her ears, I was twisted by her and couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, I said! These things can be used for medicine, I'll get some samples back and let you learn and know." ”
Kexin spared me with satisfaction, but she was not interested in the bundle I was carrying. She's only interested in hunting now!
Back at the camp, the women were afraid that Kexin and I would be hungry, so they had already begun to make dinner. Today, all day in the mountains, Kexin and I only brought a bamboo tube of conch jerky and picked some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger.
Climbing the mountain all day, the consumption is too great, and when I come back, my heart will lose that excitement, and the whole thing will soften, and I will lie in the bamboo house and cry out for hunger.
I saw that it was still early, so I beckoned Tian Xiaxia and said, "Xia Xia, let them get food, come here." ”
Tian Xiaxia put down the work in her hand and came over and asked, "What's the matter?"
I untied the messy bundle of grass on the ground, picked up its pharmacological properties, picked them out one by one, and said to Tian Xiaxia: "I'll teach you to recognize something." ”
Tian Xiaxia picked one up and looked at it, and said, "This is ...... This is what Tian Qi made for me to drink that day. These are all the same herbs of yours?"
I nodded, "Yes, it's all herbs." ”
Tian Xiaxia raised her head and said suspiciously, "You want me?"
I said, "I want you to recognize all these herbs and remember their medicinal properties, and how to use them." The last time you were bitten by a snake, didn't I get back a lot of herbs and teach you how to get to know them? Now, you recognize a little more. ”
Tian Xia Xia smiled: "You are going to teach an apprentice, okay, I'll learn!"
I said, "I can't afford to be an apprentice." I'm not really good at it, but I'm just teaching you some practical knowledge, and if I'm not around in the future, maybe you can use it. ”
Tian Xiaxia said: "You are right, I can't always rely on you as a hero to protect me, I'm not you, I'm not you, there is always a difference, it's better for me to learn some skills by myself, self-reliance." ”
I said, "The idea of self-reliance is correct. Even if you're one of mine, you'll have to learn as much as you can. In this wilderness, who would have expected any accidents, maybe one day I will be unlucky, like you did last time, and I won't wake up. What should you do? You don't have any rescue skills, so you just watch me die?"
Tian Xiaxia agreed very much: "Yes, yes, then I should learn a little more, and I will help you once or twice in the future, and I will return your favor, I always think about it in my heart, as soon as I see your face, I feel that the words 'life-saving benefactor' are written on it." But to be clear, I won't do artificial respiration for you. ”
I glanced at her slightly, "Even if you watch me die?"
Tian Xiaxia said: "That's not it, I can let someone else do it for you, let Kexin, Sister Su Wu, no, you can't be cheap, you big pervert, I'll let those two men do it for you." ”
I glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to the topic: "Didn't you train to survive in the wilderness, I think you must have some skills, so I asked you to learn these knowledge." ”
Tian Xiaxia explained: "Our company's training is basically the content of survival at sea, and it is still relatively lacking in the jungle. But when it comes to recognizing herbs, my sister is definitely good at it, didn't I tell you, she went to a health school. Her original dream was to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, so she studied Chinese medicine quite systematically. ”
I smiled and said, "Then if I don't understand anything in the future, I can still ask her about this great Chinese medicine doctor." ”
Tian Xiaxia's expression darkened: "The premise is that we have to find her first." ”
When I saw her mention her sister, her mood became bad again, and comforted: "Yes, surely, don't worry." ”
Then, I introduced Tian Xiaxia to the herbs on the ground.
"This plant is called Broken Intestine Grass, and it is famous. Now, the leaves look like this, and there are small yellow flowers. Although this grass is very toxic, it can be used as medicine, and if it is mashed, it can cure bruises, fractures or something. When you fry the water, you can also rub your body, treat ringworm, and prevent mosquitoes. Just don't do it, this thing can't be taken internally. It's called Broken Intestine Grass, and it lives up to its name, and it can really kill people if you eat it. If you are unfortunate enough to eat it by mistake, you can induce vomiting or get some fresh blood to drink. ”
Tian Xiaxia couldn't help but snort: "Drink raw blood? What blood, your own?"
I laughed and said, "If you can do it to yourself, that's fine." But if it were me, I would catch some wild animals and take them from them. ”
Tian Xiaxia was still frowning, feeling very bloody.
"This is called wisteria, swelling and detoxification, regulating qi and blood, you can make soup and drink together with this Poria cocos and this angelica root, which is beneficial to qi and spleen. ”
"This is Lobelia, you've already seen it. Famous snake medicine!"
"This is called the Big Leaf Seven Star Sword. It is also snake medicine. ”
"This is called horse chestnut lotus, if you take a look carefully, on a plant, the leaves have six or seven petals, and there is a more obvious feature, that is, its flowers are not like flowers, and they also look similar to leaves. ”
"This is also called the white-flowered snake tongue grass, and a boat grows in a shady and damp place by the water's edge. ”
"These flavors can be used to detoxify snake venom, take it internally and apply it externally, how to do it, you must already have experience. ”
What I taught Tian Xiaxia was basically the knowledge of herbs corresponding to the diseases encountered in the field, what to treat snake wounds, bruises, nameless swelling and poisoning, and food poisoning, all of which are actually usable knowledge.
I asked Tian Xiaxia to look at these herbs and memorize them over and over again. I have to do a spot check, ask the name, ask the pharmacology, ask the usage, until she knows it by heart.
