The war is over, even though such a war seems so ridiculous to Ai Xiaohai.

How will Ji Zhu and those tribal leaders deal with the Dongyi people? Ai Xiaohai didn't want to know, and he didn't want to care about these things. Now for him, the most important thing is to find Nu Ai as soon as possible.

He had a strong premonition that the hope of leaving here lay in Nu Ai.

Ji Zhu pointed him the way to Pangut Mountain, but to be honest, the finger was very vague, and it was no wonder, what else could you do in this world without a map?

And fortunately, he is asking the monarch of a country, what if he asks an ordinary person?

At this time, the vast majority of people hardly ever went out of the place where they stayed, and who would want to walk that far if it weren't for the war?

Riding all the way in the direction pointed out by Ji Zhu, he only hated that he had temporarily lost all his abilities, otherwise he would have been able to fly a long time ago.

On the road, they kept encountering humans, but they didn't know that this was the king's military advisor, and many people saw a guy riding on a horse, and they all made up their minds.

Of course, it was not Ai Xiaohai's idea to fight, but the horse under Ai Xiaohai's crotch.

You must know that Ma is much more valuable than Ai Xiaohai in their eyes.

At this time, power is everything, and there is no law to control public robbery, even if you are killed in the wilderness, it can only be considered your bad luck.

But although Ai Xiaohai lost the help of the Dragon Spirit Bead, he still had the strength, otherwise he wouldn't have killed his uncle with a single sword.

Those guys who came to rob the horses were also considered to be unlucky, and being a robber also requires capital, right?

At least you have a knife in your hand. With a group of minions, he put it in front of him, and then said a few times, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree" or something

But look at these guys again, they are not professional at all, sometimes they are two or three people, sometimes they are one person, and the guys they take are also strange and everything, regardless of it, they rushed towards Ai Xiaohai with a "whoop" scream.

In the face of such a robber, Ai Xiaohai couldn't cry or laugh. The number of people is small. Take out the big stick that killed the uncle and drive them away, and once there are more than three people, take off the bow and arrow, and shoot an arrow. Those who had never seen a bow and arrow before would turn around and run away in fright.

I wanted to ask for directions. But these are the guys I met when I walked around. Not to mention asking for directions, I don't have the opportunity to talk to them.

I don't know if Ji Zhu really knows where Pangut Mountain is, or if he pointed the way indiscriminately. Anyway, Ai Xiaohai turned around for more than ten days and couldn't find a place.

The nose is almost crooked, but what can be done?

Seeing that it was getting dark again, and the day was about to pass again, Ai Xiaohai had no choice but to find a place to rest first.

Suddenly faintly heard the sound of crying in front of him, Ai Xiaohai frowned and followed the direction of the sound.

An extremely simple house appeared in front of him, built with branches and grass, Ai Xiaohai was very skeptical that this house could be inhabited, and whether it would be washed away by a rain.

When I walked outside the house, I looked at it, and in the room, a girl was crying with a child in her hand, and an old woman was also crying beside her.

"What's going on?" Ai Xiaohai walked in.

The old woman and the girl were taken aback, and then the girl lifted up the child: "My child is going to be taken away by God." ”

As he spoke, tears flowed again.

Sick, right? Ai Xiaohai thought about it and walked in front of the child, who was crying "wow", his face flushed. As soon as Ai Xiaohai's hand touched the child's body, he immediately knew what was happening:

The kid had a fever.

Once the child has a fever here, and there is no special medicine, it is basically equivalent to waiting for death, and occasionally survives, and his intelligence is bound to be greatly affected.

In Ai Xiaohai's opinion, although the fever was only a minor illness, there was no medicine on hand. After thinking about it for a moment, she asked the old woman to get some water for the child to drink. The old woman went out for a walk and brought water from a vessel made of stone.

"Warm water." Ai Xiaohai couldn't cry or laugh, and explained to the old woman that she wanted warm water, and the old woman went out again.

It is the only way to drink more water when your child has a fever, but the problem is that there is no cure for it.

Ai Xiaohai frowned and walked out, he had to find a way to find some herbs. Fortunately, in this day and age, everything is lacking, but herbs are everywhere. It is not clear whether there is a legend of Shennong tasting herbs or not, but even if there is, the efficacy of herbs is not something that these ordinary people can know.

There was a forest nearby, where there were more herbs, and Ai Xiaohai walked in without thinking.

What do you need? That's cow lacquer grass, right? Well, it has an effect on the treatment of fever. That licorice root is certainly useful as well.

After looking for a few herbs, I suddenly heard the wind in front of me, and then a behemoth walked out.

Tiger!

Ai Xiaohai met a tiger here!

If it was placed before, not to mention a tiger, it would be all the fierce beasts in the entire forest, and Ai Xiaohai would not be afraid at all.

But now that he has lost the power of the Dragon Spirit Bead, can he defeat the tiger with the stone knife in his hand alone?

Ai Xiaohai's breathing became rapid.

If the dignified King Ai was eaten by a tiger here, it would be a big joke.

Tightly grasped the stone knife in his hand and stared at the tiger.

The tiger didn't mean to attack immediately, but stood not far from Ai Xiaohai, staring at the human being carefully, as if feeling something.

After a while, the tiger slowly lay on the ground, and let out a low roar from its mouth.

What does this mean?

Ai Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood a little, could it be that although he lost the power of the Dragon Spirit Bead, the animals here could still feel the breath on his body? Still recognise themselves as their kings?

Ai Xiaohai was not sure, and boldly took a few steps towards the tiger.

The tiger still didn't react at all.

Suppressing his nervousness, he walked in front of the tiger. Reaching out his hand, he gently stroked the tiger.

This is definitely a risk there, in case the tiger suddenly attacks, Ai Xiaohai doesn't even have a chance to resist.

But Ai Xiaohai was right.

The tiger lay there meekly and motionless, letting Ai Xiaohai touch him.

Fork fork fork! Ai Xiaohai almost laughed out loud. His grandmother, it turns out that he can still let the animals surrender to him in this era, and he can still do whatever he wants in the animal world!

If you knew this, what did you do with so much effort when dealing with the Dongyi people? Summoning a group of fierce beasts directly scared those Dongyi people to death!

Well, a big problem has been solved. Ai Xiaohai had an idea, and waited until he helped the child to take care of the disease. You don't have to ride any horses. Ride directly on the tiger and see who else dares to use their crooked brains!

"Wait for me here, do you understand?" Ai Xiaohai asked tentatively.

Now there is no dragon spirit bead to help me communicate with the animal in my heart, and I can only hope that the tiger can understand his words.

The tiger's huge head actually clicked.

There is a door. Tigers can understand!

Ai Xiaohai suddenly became excited.

Take the herbs you find. Hurried back to the child. The herbs are boiled into a soup, and when they have cooled, they are fed to the child's mouth.

But this medicine is bitter. How can a child be willing to eat? The cry of "wow" was louder, and a little head was constantly writhing, just refusing to take it.

Ai Xiaohai was ruthless, and asked the girl and the old woman to hold down the child's head, open the child's mouth, and pour the medicine into him.

The girl and the old woman have no choice now, Ai Xiaohai tells them to do whatever they want.

The boy cried loudly and struggled desperately, and actually made a sweat.

Yes, sweating is also good for fever. Otherwise, how can someone use the local method to reduce a pot of ginger soup after a fever, and cover it with two quilts to sweat after drinking it?

The child cried for a long time, and was tired, and gradually fell asleep.

Here, Ai Xiaohai has become an ordinary person, and he is tired after being busy for so long. Without the girl and the old woman to greet him, he found a place to sit down and close his eyes to rest, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt that someone was taking off my clothes, and I woke up in shock and found that it was actually that girl!

The girl had already stripped herself naked, and most of Ai Xiaohai's clothes were also taken off.

Do what? What is this doing?

Ai Xiaohai was really scared.

He is not a decent gentleman, the problem is that this girl's appearance and figure, to be honest, really dare not compliment.

Maybe she is a big beauty in this era, but Ai Xiaohai's modern aesthetic concept is completely out of touch with them!

Struggling, well, Ai Xiaohai did struggle to push the girl away, and then got up with a grunt, hurriedly put on the clothes that had been taken off, and then looked horrified: "What do you want to do?" ”

Kindness? This must have been said by a woman, right?

In a crazy world, I was almost taken away by a woman!

"Thank you for saving my child. My baby is fine. The girl also stood up, puzzled, why did this man refuse herself?

I rub! Ai Xiaohai couldn't cry or laugh.

"Come and see, my baby is fine." The girl didn't have any intention of wearing clothes at all, and she stretched out her hand to pull Ai Xiaohai.

Ai Xiaohai was like a frightened rabbit, and quickly walked in front of the child.

The child was held by the old woman, and the old woman was indifferent to what she had done, who did not know whether it was her daughter or her daughter-in-law, as if it were a matter of course.

Looking at the child again, breathing evenly, as soon as he touched his body, his body temperature dropped greatly.

It's no wonder that the child drank so much water, sweated all over, and was drugged by Ai Xiaohaiqiang, just a fever, and it was not a serious illness, only if it was not good, there would be a ghost!

"We don't have meat." The girl explained, "So I repay you." ”

Although what he said was not clear, Ai Xiaohai still understood. I saved their children, and they didn't have meat to repay them, so they had to use their bodies.

It seems that this is their custom.

Well, not to mention in this day and age. Even until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such customs were still retained in some reckless places.

"I should do to save your child." Ai Xiaohai touched his head: "But I don't need you to repay in such a way, please put on your clothes." ”

Please, if you're a big beauty, it's pretty much the same. Well, no, even if it's a big beauty, an old woman visiting on the side, what is this? A live action romance?

The girl, bewildered, got dressed according to her benefactor's words.

Tossed up in the middle of the night. Feeling hungry. Ai Xiaohai asked, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"Yes." The girl hastened to bring him something to eat.

What is it? Black and cold, Ai Xiaohai tried to take a bite, how unpalatable it was. You can't swallow it anyway.

"Wait." Ai Xiaohai walked out. Come to the forest. The tiger was still there: "Help me find something to eat." ”

The tiger immediately stood up and soon disappeared into the forest.

When I went back, the child was still asleep. Ai Xiaohai sat down: "What about the child's father?" ”

"Dead." The girl looked very indifferent: "I went out hunting and died." ”

After talking, I realized that they did not belong to any tribe, they were vagrants. There are not a few such nomads, they don't have to serve any tribe, they don't have to obey the orders of the chief, and they don't have to go to war. It's just that they can't get help from the tribe either. All eating and drinking and Lazar had to be on their own.

These nomads mainly make a living from hunting, which is a high-risk occupation. They had no bows and arrows, no shotguns, and their only weapons were stones and sticks. This kind of weapon hits a rabbit and a fox or something, and it's already in trouble when it encounters a wolf.

Encounter a tiger? Dead.

The child's father had gone out hunting dozens of days earlier and had never returned.

The old woman and the girl did not look for it at all, firstly because they did not have such power, and secondly, such things were too accustomed to the homeless. A person who went out hunting for a few days and didn't come back, didn't he die, did he still go to a nightclub?

Ai Xiaohai smiled bitterly when he heard this. What is the long process that human beings have gone through from primitive barbarism and backwardness to civilization that understands etiquette, righteousness and shame? History books only record how the Xia Dynasty was established, and how it went through the process of decline and revival, but it is really only about what happened in a small area.

The so-called kings manage nothing more than a few places, and beyond the scope, they are beyond their capabilities.

Shaokang Zhongxing, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it only refers to a limited number of places. In most other lands, there are more human beings like this old woman and this girl.

They don't know when they're going to die, they can't do anything when they're sick, and they can only rely on God's gifts.

Even when men die, they lose their source of food.

You can only eat the black stuff.

Ai Xiaohai also asked about the origin of this thing, it is the rhizome of a plant, which can be taken, but in addition to being unpalatable, it will also make his stomach swell, which is very uncomfortable. But for them, it was a blessing to be able to keep themselves from starving.

The history books say nothing but the good side.

Ai Xiaohai sighed, and suddenly a tiger roar came from outside, and the girl and the old woman suddenly trembled with fright.

"Don't be afraid, my friend." Ai Xiaohai stood up, walked out, and saw that it was the tiger that came, with a roe deer in its mouth.

That's a good thing! In my own time, these were all national first-class key protected wild animals. But what is it in this day and age?

The girl and the old woman who were in the house were worried about what had happened to their benefactor, so they got up in fear and went to the door to look, and were frightened on the spot.

God, the benefactor is petting the tiger, but the tiger looks like he is enjoying it.

Is the benefactor a god?

Ai Xiaohai took the roe deer from the tiger's mouth and said a few words to the tiger, and the tiger turned around and walked towards Sen Lina.

When he returned to the house, he saw the girl holding the child and the old woman kneeling there.

Ai Xiaohai immediately understood, did they regard themselves as gods? Well, think about it, I first helped them cure the child's "terminal illness" - fever, and then I was so affectionate with a tiger, how can I not regard myself as a fairy?

"Get up, get up." Ai Xiaohai made them stand up and raised the roe deer in his hand: "Make a fire and eat meat." ”

Two hard swallows came out......

……

The smell of meat was all over the room, and the girl and the old woman were a little impatient, eager to eat the meat before it was cooked.

Finally waiting for the meat to be ready, Ai Xiaohai took out a stone knife and cut two pieces of fat meat and handed them to them.

As soon as they took it, they didn't care about the heat, and they ate it in a big gulp.

How many times have they not eaten meat since their man died?

The temptation of meat for them is simply irresistible.

Ai Xiaohai cut off a small piece of meat by himself and ate it slowly. Although it lacks salt and MSG, it still smells good in your mouth.

People here are struggling to get by, waiting for death to come, especially after losing a man.

But now that their child has been cured, and one day the child will grow up, and then the family will have another strong worker, and the old woman and the girl will have hope again.

Gradually, the family will become more and more prosperous, and maybe it will become a tribe?

Who knows?

Seeing that the girl and the old woman had finished eating a piece of meat, Ai Xiaohai asked casually, "Do you know where Pangut Mountain is?" ”

"Pangut Mountain? Know. This time it was the old woman who said, "You will come through the forest in front of you." ”

"Oh, you know?" Ai Xiaohai was very surprised.

"Yes, I'm from Pangut Mountain."

"You're from Pangut Mountain?"

"In the past, we lived there with many, many people, but then it rained, and a lot of stones rolled down, killing many, many people, and a very fierce leader came out, so we ran out quietly."

Although the words were vague, Ai Xiaohai still understood. (To be continued......)
