Chapter 7: The Green Tiger
In my impression, my mother used to belong to the sacrificial village in the past, and I knew a little about herbal medicine, my father was an excellent hunter, and my mother often helped those who couldn't eat enough, and her status in the clan was quite high at that time, if it weren't for this, she might have been forced to abandon Ling Fei under the pressure of the clan.
"If it weren't for Sister A, I would have died a long time ago, and we will be fine in the future, and we will never have to go hungry again." Ling Fei smiled at Ling Ya, then took the herb on one side, chewed it in his mouth, and covered it little by little on the red wound.
Under the gentle soothing of the green medicinal juice, a cool feeling came from the stinging wound, and regardless of the strange appearance of the wound, Ling Ya looked at her in surprise, "This is an herb?" Ling Fei, do you actually know herbal medicine? ”
"Know a little, stop the bleeding, don't move." Grabbing Ling Ya's arm that was waving because of excitement, Ling Fei continued to apply her medicine.
Ling Ya's eyes suddenly became moist, Ling Fei actually knew herbs, so the clan would never want to exchange her for food again. The clan lives on hunting, there are often bloodsheds, and the range of activities of collecting is near the cave, although the big beasts have been expelled, but from time to time there will be small animals breaking in, so it is common for women to be injured, and those fragile things that look like weeds can save many lives, but most people don't know them, and there are many people who died because of the wrong use of weeds, so the status of people who know herbs in the clan is very high.
Because her aunt recognized herbs, Ling Ya didn't doubt her at all, but thought that her aunt was so smart that it was a matter of course to know herbs.
Ling Fei lives in the mountains with her grandmother, the traffic is not developed, the villagers are injured or have a headache and brain fever can basically be solved by the herbs in the mountains, grandma is a famous Chinese medicine doctor in the mountains, she has learned a lot, she doesn't feel that there is anything to be excited about knowing the most commonly used herbs, of course she hasn't realized that she is stepping on the shoulders of giants of thousands of years of civilization and looking at this world, this cruel world where humans and beasts struggle to survive, and she takes it for granted how incredible those things are to the people here.
However, Ling Ya was happy, and she was happy.
After getting all the wounds right, most of the ginseng ginseng picked during the day was actually used, and Ling Fei wanted to find more herbs during the day tomorrow in case of emergency.
After taking care of the wound, the two sisters sat on the bed and started today's dinner, the first time they got so much meat, Ling Ya stuffed the slightly larger piece to Ling Fei, "Sister, eat it, you can eat the food distributed by the clan every day in the future, and you don't have to be hungry." ”
"Sister doesn't have to go hungry anymore!" Ling Fei smiled playfully at her, referring to the fact that Ling Ya secretly gave herself food to eat.
"You." It's been a long time since the two sisters have talked so happily like now, Ling Ya always feels that something has changed in Ling Fei after her illness has recovered, but she doesn't care too much, everything is developing for the better, isn't it.
"Hmm, it's so unpalatable, it's too light!" Today's barbecue is quite cooked, but it doesn't taste at all, and it tastes like dry firewood in your mouth.
Ling Ya nodded her forehead, "The salt in the clan is almost gone, and the team that changed the salt hasn't come back yet, so the barbecue has been like this for the past few days, so don't pick it." ”
Luo Lingfei rolled her eyes in her heart, what is this special thing, she usually can't eat enough, she finally gets full, and she has to eat this astringent thing, but although she is not satisfied, she still eats the meat in one bite.
"Sister, when will the salt changer come back?" Ling Fei wanted to know when the days of fading out of her mouth would be the end.
Ling Ya wiped a pineapple and handed it to her, her brows furrowed, "I should have come back a few days ago, but the road to the fish aquarium is a bit far, and it is normal to delay for a few days." ”
Ling Fei took a bite of the fruit, looked at Ling Ya's gloomy face, and suddenly remembered that Qinghu was the leader of the salt exchange team this time, no wonder I didn't see him circling around Sister A in the past few days, Sister Ah said this to comfort herself, more than 30 people walked in the wild, sleeping in the open, and there were beasts waiting for the opportunity everywhere, thinking about it, I felt that this was a task of nine deaths and one life.
"Sister, Brother Qinghu will come back safely, he is the most powerful warrior in our clan, don't worry." Ling Fei held Ling Ya's cold hand and continued: "When Brother Qinghu comes back, the two of you will be together, so that those messy people will not pester him." ”
Hearing her say this, Ling Ya's face suddenly turned red, and her thin cheekbones seemed to be stained with rouge, and she immediately became vivid, and suddenly thought of something, her face was calm, and she said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, the salt they changed is the hope of the whole clan, and everyone wants them to come back." ”
The soft voice stunned Ling Fei's heart, knowing that she was concerned about herself, she simply hugged Ling Ya's waist and didn't let go, "Sister, my body is better, I can pick fruits, I can find herbs, I can take care of myself, I can take care of you, from tomorrow onwards, you don't go hunting, let's go up the mountain together." ”
Ling Fei thought to herself that now was the season of fruits, instead of taking the risk of hunting, it was better to go to the mountains to find something to eat, there is an old saying - relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, she didn't believe it, guarding such a big mountain can still starve the two sisters to death.
After Ling Ya knew that Ling Fei knew herbal medicine, she understood that what she said about feeding the sisters was not empty words, but before she got the affirmation of the patriarch, she still had to continue hunting, but it was rare for Ling Fei to hold her and play tricks, so she didn't refute her, just get up early in the morning and set off with the hunting team.
Ling Fei didn't know what Ling Ya was thinking, and thought that she had already agreed, so she happily pulled Ling Ya to sleep.
After dark, there was only one fire left in the cave, and the cold wind poured into it, and Ling Fei curled up in her sleep.
The next day, Ling Ya had to keep her promise and give up hunting because it was raining.
The rain will wash away the footprints of the prey, dilute the smell of the prey, and the muddy ground is not suitable for hunting, so the hunting team of the clan temporarily stopped hunting the next day, but fortunately, there are still a lot of prey left yesterday, and there will be no food shortages in these days.
At this time, Ling Fei saw for the first time the scene of hundreds of people living in a cave, a floor shop is generally a family, a family of four or five people, generally men and women plus a few children, there are more than fifty children in the clan, but they are not noisy at all, they are all black and thin, and they are so quiet that they squat on the ground to help their mother deal with animal skins. There are basically no old people here, Ling Fei knows that in this era of the supremacy of force, whether it is facing the threat of wild beasts or hunger and cold, the old man is the first to be abandoned, and the youth and children are the hope of the continuation of the clan, Ling Fei felt that his heart was blocked, but he was helpless.
The patriarch's house is not far from them, Ling Fei is gnawing on the pineapple while watching a few prestigious people in the clan talking not far away, the voice is intermittently inaudible, and he sees that the patriarch Horn Spot has been gloomy face, and his tall body exudes irritability, Ling Fei has no good impression of Horn Spot, I remember that my father and mother seem to have been taking good care of this poor child who has been an orphan since he was a child, and later when I migrated in the clan, the old patriarch died, and then Horn Spot became the patriarch of the Gaoshan Clan, and he did not lend a helping hand to the two children who lost their parents, When the people in the clan proposed to use Ling Fei as a slave in exchange for food, they did not refuse, in Ling Fei's eyes, he was an out-and-out white-eyed wolf, such a person as the patriarch is no wonder that the Gaoshan clan is struggling to survive the winter now, she has just come here, and she doesn't understand the cruelty of survival here and the horror of winter. xh118
