Chapter 004: Mulan's Wish

Mulan first took out a brown paper bag from the basket and opened it, and four candles were neatly wrapped in it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhang clapped his hands happily, "This is a good thing, I haven't seen it for many years." ā€

As long as there is fire, there is no shortage of things to light on the island. Before Mulan was born, they had been using a bonfire.

When it was hot, it was fine, so I moved outside to live in a wooden house, and at night I always lit a few fires around the house to scare the wild beasts, and by the way, I lit up. It's not good to live in a cave when you catch up with the sky, the ventilation is not good, and it's easy to be poisoned by gas.

Mulan couldn't speak when she was born, and she couldn't remind them how dangerous it was, as long as she saw them blocking the hole and lighting a fire, she couldn't stop crying. A few times, they figured out that this little girl didn't like fire.

Chili Po and Zhang's first hunted animals to skin and boil oil to make lamps, but the animals they could hunt were limited, and they didn't have anything to take advantage of, so it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Later, I cut the bark and scraped out the tree oil to use, this thing is not difficult to collect, but unfortunately the smoke is big, and it will be called a spicy headache when you light it for a while. Several adults can't stand it, let alone Mulan.

After many attempts, I found a very large grass seed. This grass can't even be called by Mulan, the leaves are slender and tough, and it specializes in sparse trees, clumps and clumps, half a person tall.

When it was time to set the seeds, I picked a lot, packed them in bags made of grass leaves, pressed a few stones, waited for the oil to flow out from all sides, and connected them with bottles and jars, and put them on a twist to be used as a lamplight.

This grass seed oil lamp is cheap to make, but it doesn't taste good. At first glance, it smells of grass, and when it is burned, it smells of bird droppings. Zhang's sense of smell is more sensitive than others, and he is not used to smelling for many years, how can he not be happy when he sees a candle at once?

After taking a turn at the ghost gate, Yan Hong felt that she had lost her life. Others are all planning for the long term, but she puts pleasure first. According to her wishes, there should be a full meal of rice and a meal of meat, and then make plans for tomorrow.

Seeing a better one at this time, how could there be no reason not to use it, and immediately encouraged Mulan to say: "Hurry up and get one, and replace the guano lamp." ā€

Mulan glanced at Chili Po, and when she saw her nodding slightly, she took out one and lit it.

The orange flames flickered slightly, illuminating everyone's faces. Zhang couldn't wait to blow out the grass seed oil lamp, leaned over to the candle and sniffed hard, and sighed in satisfaction, "It's so good!"

Mulan looked at her like this, her heart was slightly sour, and she handed the candle to her, "Aunt Zhang, when you leave this island, I will ask you to light candles every day." ā€

Zhang knew that she would never have a chance to leave this island in her life, and even if she could leave here, she would have nowhere to go. Thinking of his son, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, his eyes couldn't stop getting hot. But he was afraid that Mulan would be disappointed, so he forced himself to laugh and said, "Okay, okay, let's wait for that day." ā€

Yan Hong's mind was not on this small candle, her eyes were staring at the basket and urging Mulan, "Take a look, what else is there?"

Mulan gathered her thoughts and took out a tin can from the small basket. Because the outside of the jar was engraved with words, it was vaguely recognizable that it was the word "tea", so he handed the jar directly to Aunt Hao.

Aunt Hao loves tea, and there is no tea on the island, so she found some flowers and leaves to dry and soak in water to drink. She is a person who knows the goods, and just by looking at the jar, she knows that the tea in it is not bad, and she immediately wants to boil water to make tea.

Chili Po raised her hand to stop her, "The entrance to the cave is blocked, you don't have to toss." Gather the beasts again, and a few of us will not have enough to stuff their teeth. That canned food can still run on its own long legs overnight, what do you say are you in a hurry?"

"I was itching when I saw my love, but I didn't think about it for a while. Aunt Hao held the jar and smiled, "That's it, that's it, listen to you, and drink it tomorrow." ā€

As he spoke, he took out a free hand and touched Mulan's head, "I really didn't hurt you in vain, so I got filial piety." ā€

Mulan grinned, "What is this? I will buy a tea garden for my aunt in the future." ā€

Aunt Hao smiled and twisted lightly on her face, "If you have this heart, Aunt Hao will be content." ā€

Yan Hong waited impatiently, so she went to the basket with her own hands. I first turned out a small black porcelain vase, and threw it aside if I was not interested.

Mulan was afraid that it would be smashed, so she hurriedly grabbed it and showed it to the pepper woman, "I guess there is medicine here, mother-in-law can see if it is or not, Sister Yutong can use it?"

Chili took it and took it with great effort. Glancing at the light, I saw that there were mostly half bottles of black ointment. Take your little finger and dig it out, put it under your nose, and smell a strange smell.

Knowing that it was not a serious medicine, he was afraid of teaching bad children, so he didn't point it out and said, "This medicine is useless, just throw it away." ā€

finally got a bottle of medicine, Mulan was full of hope that she could help Wu Yutong, but who knew that she couldn't use it. I was disappointed in my heart, and I couldn't help but bring out a few points on my face.

Wu Yutong took her hand and shook it, and said softly and comfortingly: "I'm fine, I drank the herbs picked by my mother-in-law, and my cough has been much less in the past few days, and my legs are not so painful." ā€

Mulan knew that this was not true, Wu Yutong's illness was getting worse day by day. At night, I can always hear her suppressed coughing sound, and I think I am afraid of waking up someone else, so I gagged my mouth with something, coughed half and half choked, and listened to it for her to feel uncomfortable.

In the morning, she was served food, and she was caught in a panic as she stuffed her blood-stained towel under the animal skin mattress.

If she can't find the right medicine, I'm afraid her days are numbered.

The only one on the island who can identify a few herbs is Chili Po, but Chili Po does not know how to heal. Minor illnesses can be cured, but major illnesses can only be resigned to fate.

Over the years, they have rescued more than a few people? Except for Yang, who committed suicide, everyone else died of illness. Those women who were suffering from all odds and hardships regained their lives, and then died helplessly under the torture of illness.

Mulan will never forget their desperate eyes when they were dying, and she has been annoyed more than once that she didn't practice medicine in the first place and couldn't do everything to save their lives.

She worked hard to familiarize herself with the water, and explored the nearby seas in order to find a way out of it one day.

She didn't know anything about the world outside Shouzhen Island, and before she was exiled, Pepper Po and the others were all weak female streams who grew up in the deep boudoir, so there was too little information to give her. That world may be terrible, but there is a doctor for the sick, and there is medicine for the pain, so there is no need to be worried all the time, lest you lose your life if you get sick.

She's going to get out of here and take the pepper out with her.

"This is what suits me, so give it to me. Yan Hong rummaged in the basket for a long time, and finally found something agreeable, and without waiting for anyone else to see what it was, she quickly put it into her arms.

Mulan came back to her senses, swept her eyes and knew what was missing, frowned and stared at Yan Hong, "That's what I left for Sister Yutong, you can pick another one." ā€
