CHAPTER XLII
Shi watched Zhang Xing busy, lifting fish out of the river for a while, setting up firewood for a while, with the fire, the gloomy cave was also warm, and his heart was also warm.
Not long, Zhang Xing cooked the fish soup, raised the head of the stone slightly, and fed the stone to drink. Seeing that there was a hint of saltiness in his mouth, Shi Shi nodded with wide eyes and said, "It's delicious." ”
Zhang Xing smiled slightly, after the stone was injured, he was unconscious, and it burned again the next day, and the external herbs did not work at all. She really couldn't help it, so she touched the valley she saw last time, observed it for a long time, and took a good time, touched the medical hall, and stole the medicine and salt out.
This fish soup is filled with some salt and wild vegetables, and the taste is naturally different from the previous clear soup.
However, this was the first time that Stone had eaten since he woke up, and she didn't dare to let Stone drink too much, so she only fed him half a bowl and put him down to lie down. He also sorted the herbs he had found and mashed them and put them on the wounds. Although there are several injuries to the stone, they are not important, plus his physique is better than that of Zhang Shuisheng, and he is young, and the wounds on his arm and neck are already growing new flesh.
In addition, the ankle injury should not have hurt the bone, and after applying the herbs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis in the past few days, the bruises and swelling also showed signs of dissipation. The trickiest thing is the leg bones of the stones. She wasn't sure. Only relying on the experience of her son's hand bone fracture in her previous life, she found a few pieces of flat wood for splinting, except for always paying attention to local changes, she could only resign herself to fate.
Fortunately, in the past few days, the stone has not changed except for delirium and low-grade fever for a few days, and the injury on the leg bone has not changed. At this time, for her, no change is about a good thing.
With that done, it's getting a little dark outside. She hurriedly took back the clothes that were hanging outside, half-sealed the cave, boiled some hot water, and scrubbed the stones and changed clothes.
These things are what she has done in the past few days, and the stone was unconscious before, so it was naturally up to her, but now that she has woken up, she is awkward, and she doesn't want her to do this.
Zhang Xing looked at her face as red as a monkey's ass and looked like a stone, she came with him all the way, eating and living together, and sleeping next to each other, she thought that he didn't have that concept yet, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, it should be those who have not been classified by him into the category of men and women who are not kissed.
She put her smile back and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't change it, you won't change it, I'll just wash your face, don't move, be careful of pulling the wound." ”
Shi glanced at Zhang Xing with a red face and nodded.
Zhang Xing washed Shishi's face and hands and placed him to sleep. I washed my hands and face, and snuggled up on the hay and fell asleep. The two of them said a few words, and the stone was good in the end, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep. Zhang Xing got up again and added a few thick dry firewood to the bonfire, and heard the crackling sound of the fire burning dry firewood from time to time, the sound of the wind outside, and the sound of the two heavens and the earth mixed into his ears.
She didn't feel sleepy for a moment, and looked at the cave where she lived.
Before, the stone didn't wake up, and she didn't have the energy to think too far, but now that the stone woke up, she was about to plan for the next step. In life, there must be mountains to climb over the mountains, and water to cross the water, and giving up lightly will never be her motto.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your bones, and it seems that they will be in this cave for a long time. The rice balls she had prepared before were gone, but fortunately there was everything in this mountain forest, wild fruits, all kinds of wild vegetables, all kinds of fungi, etc., and there was a stream not far from here, and there were fish in the stream, and the two fish in the lower stomach today were caught by that stream, and she had seen pheasants and rabbits and other small animals in this mountain forest, but she couldn't catch them now.
Since you have to wait until the stone is almost good before leaving, you must make long-term plans. It's autumn right now, and there's nothing missing in the mountains and forests, but what if it's winter? I'm afraid it's not so good. She needs to prepare for the cold of winter.
First of all, you need to prepare something to protect you from the cold. At the moment, the best thing for them to keep out the cold is nothing more than animal fur. Zhang Xing remembered that they had killed the wolf, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, she was in a hurry to leave, but she didn't think so far. Now that I think about it, isn't that wolf skin a good thing to keep out the cold? Now that three or four days have passed, the wolf may have rotted early, and I don't know if the wolf's fur can still be used.
The second is food. At the moment, there is everything, there is no shortage of food, but in winter, wild vegetables and wild fruits and the like are probably not to think about it, and the only things that can be found are mushrooms and the like, although these are also good, but eating them all the time is not a thing, and it is not good for stone healing. It's a good idea to have something like dried fish and meat.
In that valley, she also had to see the opportunity to go again, and touch something again. The last time I went to the medical center, I don't know if they noticed it, since the stone has woken up, there is no need for her to take this risk and visit again. This time, I'll go to the place where the fire is burning and cooking, and I'll use it for food.
Zhang Xing thought about everything and made up her mind. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, she set off with a kitchen knife and went to the place where she had killed the wolf last time. As a result, before I got closer, I smelled a pungent odor. When I got closer, I found that the wolf was really maggots, and the smell was terrible.
She still didn't give up, covered her nose and walked closer, the wolf was rotten from the neck, maybe because of the injury there, the rest of the place was still intact, the fur was still firm, although there were some maggots on it, but it may not be useless to wash it.
She had never even killed chickens before, and now she would not even be soft on killing, and in the face of maggots and insects, she only hesitated for a moment, then took a piece of cloth out of her sleeve, wet it and covered her mouth and nose, rolled up her sleeves and began to work.
First chop off the wolf's head, then cut it from the wolf's abdomen, peel it off little by little, until he was so busy that he was covered with sweat, before he peeled off the wolf's skin. By this time, there was nothing clean on her body. Seeing that the ground was in shambles, she was worried about being seen, so she extended to the fact that there were people in this mountain forest, and she dug a pit for the debris on the ground and buried it.
When she was done with all this, the sun above her head had already turned westward, she carried the wolf skin back, went to the stream where she caught fish and water, washed the maggots and blood stains on the wolf skin, and found a secluded place, stripped naked, took a bath, and washed the dirty clothes on her body.
When I returned, the stone was looking forward to it. Seeing her carrying a kitchen knife, her face was tired and wet, she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked repeatedly: "Xing'er, where have you been? What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xing put down the knife, picked up a few clothes, and said busily: "I peeled off the skin of the wolf we killed last time." ”
Stone's eyes widened, and he asked, "Can you skin a wolf?"
Zhang Xing smiled and said in her heart: I didn't know it before, but now I will. With a vague answer, he turned into the depths of the cave to change his clothes. After the change, the stone was still waiting for her, and asked, "How did you peel it, don't chop it into pieces, it's useless." ”
Zhang Xing shook her head, she can only use it, she knows this. She said, "No, I can't peel off the claws of the claws I opened from the wolf's belly, so I didn't ask for it." After thinking about it again, he asked the stone, "Will you toss this?"
Shi Shi said: "I see that my father has skinned foxes, and they are to be sold whole, they are all animals, and they should be the same." ”
