Chapter 16: Summer (2)
The peaches on the mountain are about to ripen, Gu Xi has been to see them many times, watching the peaches grow from small to big, I thought it was the kind of common small peach, but the peaches have grown like peaches, one is so big, it is estimated that two will be able to eat enough, Gu Xi pondered that he would pick them with the collection team in a few days, and keep them for the animals in the mountains to eat, he plans to pick some back when the time comes, and try to dry them, if they can be dried into peaches, it is also good to be a snack.
Carrying the animal skin bag on his back, Gu Xi said hello to Tong Xiu who was on the sentry tower today, he was going to a small forest not far from the tribe, where the trees were not dense, sparse, and there were a lot of weeds, the height of the weeds could reach the waist, Gu Xi asked Tong Xiu to help pay attention to the situation here, in case there was any danger, he could also come over in time, in fact, he would not generally meet, after these few months, this place has already belonged to the tribe safety zone.
Today he went to pick small greens and amaranth, different from winter greens, small greens are a kind of vegetables that are similar to greens but smaller, there are sub-beasts in the tribe that are picked back as greens, the taste is better than greens, Gu Xi doesn't remember what it's called, only remember that this thing is particularly delicious to make soup with meatballs, as for amaranth, it was completely sandwiched in the dish and brought back as a weed, this strange-colored grass, they definitely didn't think it could be eaten, Gu Xi knew it was amaranth at a glance, Amaranth and garlic stir-fried together are very good...... There is just no food.
Because the front had been collected almost completely, Gu Xi decided to pick in the direction that no one had ever been, and used a homemade bone sickle to cut off the weeds that were too high, and stepped on a small path, which everyone would do when collecting, leaving a road for the people behind, just like now there is a small mountain road on the mountain behind, and the clansmen will follow such a mountain path when they go up the mountain.
Soon he found a small cluster of dense small greens and amaranth, both of which had to be eaten fresh, Gu Xi didn't want to pick more, just enough for the two of them to eat, as long as it was delicious, Huo Bai would eat some together, and he could destroy a lot.
Gu Xi picked a handful of amaranth and was about to race it into the bag, but he saw some red liquid on the leaves, it was blood!
Gu Xi instantly became nervous, clenched the sickle in his hand, and then looked at the place where he picked the vegetables just now, if there were other blood stains, dripping all the way to the depths of the grass, more and more looks, there were traces of being trampled on by the big feet, Gu Xi ran back decisively, he was not stupid enough to check it himself, in case there was any powerful beast, he couldn't deal with it, curiosity killed the cat The sentence is not a joke.
Tong Xiu over there noticed the abnormality here and immediately rushed over.
"There's blood over there, let's go take a look"
Without Gu Xi leading the way, Tong Xiu had already sensitively smelled the smell of blood in the air: "There is no smell of fierce beasts, it's a bit like ...... Like a bear? ”
Gu Xi chuckled in his heart, and somehow remembered An Hua who went to the bear clan to study medicine.
Walking behind Tong Xiu, through the dense grass, I saw a big bear fall to the ground, blood flowed from his leg, there were no other wounds on his body, it seemed that he was overbleeding and fell into a coma, the bear clan is far away from here, how did this big bear travel a long distance and was so seriously injured, and the beast body of the bear clan is really huge, larger than the beast body of the tiger clan.
Tong Xiu couldn't drag him either, so he could only take Gu Xi to the tribe first, and then find someone to get it back together, and finally with the help of Uncle Lu Shi, he got the big bear back and sent it directly to Uncle Jiang's house, which was closest to here.
Because of excessive bleeding, the hair on the wound part of his leg has been coagulated by blood, which will make this bear unconscious to become a human, the wound is very difficult to deal with, Gu Xi is not polite, directly shaved the hair around the wound with a bone knife, and cleaned the wound with water.
The orc's ability to recover is really good, in the evening the orcs who hunted in the tribe came back, and the big bear woke up, he is indeed from the bear tribe, he is the fastest orc Tian He of the bear tribe, although the speed is fast, it is too far from the tiger and leopard tribes, because there is a wrong way on the way, he stumbled and walked for nearly two months before coming, he came to deliver the news, but he did not expect to encounter a fierce beast attack on the road, he was injured, but fortunately he was rescued.
"In this way, it should be Anhua when they leave, you have already come out of the clan" Gu Xi was a lot relieved, at least the news delivered would not be related to Anhua.
Tian Hechang, a big man who has become a human, is honest and honest, and when he saw everyone in the Tiger Clan, his eyes turned red: "Since the beginning of the rainy season, there have been many people in the Bear Clan who have been sick, one by one, and more and more people are sick, Doctor Xue has tried his best, but many people from the clan have died, I ...... I don't know how many people have died in the two months I've been gone...... Hmm," he choked up.
Everyone was also sad, this feeling of losing their clan, the people of the Tiger Clan could not be clearer, they had suffered avalanches, wolves, and many relatives died.
"What did the Bear Clan send you to the Tiger Clan, we Tiger Clan don't have a healer" Huo Bai frowned, there are other tribes close to the Bear Clan, and they shouldn't come to them from near and far.
"No...... No way...... Doctor Xue said, you have a healer here, he has an animal skin in his hand, it was left by an old healer a long time ago, a tribe encountered such a situation a long, long time ago, only the animal skin was left, there may be something to cure the disease on it! The Healer...... Surname Xie "Tian He was excited, he came with the hope of the whole clan.
"Thank you, healer...... It's already dead in the cold winter," Huo Bai said in a deep voice.
Tian He was desperate for a while: "What about the things he left behind!" ”
"We suffered an avalanche in the cold winter, and a lot of things were buried there......," Huo Bai said, "Doctor Xie also has a child...... Thinking of Xie Wen, Huo Bai had a headache.
"Then let's talk about two possibilities now, that animal skin is in your original tribe, and the other is that it was taken away by Xie Wen" Gu Xidao, "Actually, Tian He, in the past two months that you have been out, the Xue Doctor of your tribe may have found a way to heal everyone, he is the most powerful healer in the Orc Continent." ”
Of course, Tian He hoped so: "Maybe, but I must find that animal skin, no matter where it is?" ”
"Can you tell me about what it was like when your people were sick?" Gu Xi asked.
"Hmm...... Some orcs began to ache all over their bodies, originally thought that they were hunting with too much force, so they began to rest, and gradually began to have headaches, eyes pain, and finally began to have a fever and cough...... Doctor Xue boiled the herbs, but it still didn't work......"
Gu Xi listened to what he said, frowning, he couldn't be sure, he probably only saw what the plague and other people looked like on TV, but after all, it was all played by actors, but whether it was or not, it was definitely infectious, if this was the case, it would be troublesome, calculate that An Hua is still on the way, and it should not have reached the bear clan yet, but An Hua They don't know the news, if they are accidentally infected! The consequences are unimaginable! Still have to look for it!
"Everyone, listen to me, this disease of the bear clan may be contagious, what I mean is that as long as it is contacted, maybe blood or air may make other people sick, we need to find the animal skin that records the way to save people, for the bear clan, for Uncle An, for ourselves, we all have to do this" Gu Xi said.
When everyone heard Gu Xi say this, they were all a little panicked, and they all agreed that they couldn't let their clansmen be threatened with their lives.
"Tian He, you recuperate in our tribe first, I will send someone back to the original tribe to look for it, I will personally go to the leopard clan to find Xie Wen, Xie Wen is the child of the healer" Huo Bai arranged this, I hope the leopard clan has taken Xie Wen in, "If you find it, both groups of people will rush to the bear clan at the same time." ”
Tian He was very grateful that the Tiger Clan could lend a helping hand at this time.
"Uncle Tong, please go to the original tribe, let Tong Qi go with you, Tong Xiu and I will go to the leopard tribe, no matter what the result, ten days later, we will gather at the leaf lake on the way to the bear clan, if we find the animal skin, we will leave a copy for the tiger clan."
"Huo Bai, take me with you, I want to go to the Bear Clan" Gu Xi wanted to see what kind of disease it was, although he couldn't cure it, but he still wanted to go and see, he was a modern person, he could always figure out a way! If this disease is allowed to spread further, it will be a disaster for the Orc Continent!
Seeing Gu Xi's such a firm look, Huo Bai knew that Gu Xi had to go, although he protected Gu Xi as a companion and hoped that he would not be harmed in the slightest, but he did not treat him as a sub-beast, Gu Xi and he were equal, as strong as an orc.
"I want to do my best to help you, now I hope you can do as I say, from now on, orcs should no longer eat meat raw, all meat must be cooked until it is fully cooked, every corner of the tribe must be kept clean, the water to drink must be boiled with fire, even if the orcs go out, they must bring their own boiling water, if they find something wrong, including the giggling birds we raise, if they start to get sick, they must not eat it, burn it, and bury it...... By the way, I hope everyone eats more green leafy vegetables, especially garlic......" Gu Xizai thought carefully, he hoped that there would be no possibility of any infection, and everyone listened very carefully.
"And ...... I mean, if ...... If the clan has such a situation, I hope that there will not be too many people in contact with it, and they will be isolated...... In addition to staying to take care of his ......"
Everyone nodded silently, and their hearts were a little heavy.
"Let's go back and prepare, every day at dawn, we will set off, and we must do our best."
The two walked on their way home.
"Huo Bai, everyone will be fine" Gu Xi said firmly.
Huo Bai nodded and put his arm around Gu Xi's shoulder, he believed in Gu Xi, Gu Xi could always bring them hope.
