Chapter 2: Hu Yi'er's Journey
On the first day of leaving the Jilin tribe, Hu Yi'er was sure that she could run faster than a rabbit.
The two brute guards paddled like hot wheels, and in one day they turned south from the small river where Ji Lin was, into a vast expanse of water.
At this time, the Yangtze River was more like a boundless lake, with vast water and grass on both sides, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundary. Hu Yi'er judged from the fact that the debris floating on the surface of the water slowly moved eastward that they had reached the Yangtze River as Lin Ji said.
"Keiko cares about us so much, why don't we stay in Ji Lin for a few more days?" The shorter of the barbarian guards, named Jock, asked as he camped.
The canoe given by Da Ji was made by the tribe later, using the other half of the wood of the neem tree. The bottom of the boat was narrower, so that the hull was higher, and the hull was raised with planks. Therefore, the load of the boat is larger, and the hull is also made to be cocked at both ends, which also makes the boat faster and less likely to be hit into the boat by the waves.
Jiaoke felt that at today's rate, he might be able to reach the beach in a month without Lin Ji saying it. After all, they felt that the speed of this ship was faster than Lin Ji said.
Hu Yi'er let out a sigh and said, "He is even more verbose than the five wise men combined. ”
Hu Yi'er is also a young man, and she really doesn't like endless nagging.
Pi Jiaoer on the side answered: "But I think what he said makes sense." ”
The other barbarian had walked around, and then he had hunted some birds and beasts with his wooden bow, and Pi Jiao'er opened his back basket and turned out the wax shell ears from which the fire had been preserved, and it turned out that the wax shell ears had been useless for two days and had been extinguished.
She was about to look for a stick to drill wood, Hu Yi'er took out a lighter from her backpack and said, "I'll come." ”
Hu Yi'er picked up a little hay, snapped the lighter, and a flame erupted, igniting the hay.
"It's!" The other three's eyes widened, and their jaws were about to drop. Even the most magical sorcery can't turn fire so quickly, can it? How did Hu Yier do it? Could it be that she also got the Tiger Barbarian Revelation?
"It's his magic. This little thing is filled with flint and oil, and I will teach you how to use it. But you have to save a little ......."
The four of them camped overnight by the Yangtze River, and the next day they began to travel eastward downstream, and the speed was still not slow.
The four of them are all masters of survival in the wild, all the way forward, all the way smooth. Almost none of the dangers mentioned by Lin Ji have been encountered. Even if they saw long snakes on the river, several of them had bows and spears in their hands, and those snakes would almost become their food if they dared to come closer.
Hu Yi'er didn't know that her journey was the sustenance of Lin Ji's desire to go out, and sometimes she even felt that everything else was superfluous except for a lighter.
Of course, there are also canoes that are not superfluous. Not to mention the speed of this canoe, in the vast expanse of the water, in some rough sections of the river, this canoe really gave them endless confidence.
They had been walking downstream for seven or eight days, and on this day they were camping on the shore when they suddenly heard a terrible cry of murder in the forest.
They dragged the boat ashore and dived into the forest to investigate, only to see a group of people covered in fish scales besieging another group of people with spots painted on them.
The two groups were equally numbered, with only a dozen people each. But the spotted ones have fallen down several times for some reason, and they look like there are almost no wounds. Those who did not fall still held in front of their fallen companions, preventing them from being hurt more, and did not choose to flee because their side was gradually declining.
"They use poisoned arrows." Pi Jiaoer pointed to a man painted with fish scales. The man was hiding in the shadows and shooting arrows.
The man did not shoot a longbow or arrow, but a bamboo blow arrow, which shot silently and almost unguardable.
Another arrow was fired, and it didn't take long for the man who was hit to fall to the ground, incapacitated for battle.
Seeing that the person covered in spots fell down again, Hu Yi'er put his bow on the arrow and said, "Kill the person who shoots the poisoned arrow." ”
Boom.
Four arrows shot out of the forest, and then the two barbarian guards screamed like Lei Gong, carried their baskets in front of them, and rushed out of the forest like a rhinoceros, rushing towards the man painted with fish scales.
The bows used by the four were all strong bows, and with only one round of arrows in front, four of the people painted with fish scales fell.
This also made them extremely frightened, and when they saw two men as majestic as a mountain rushing out, how could anyone dare to fight? With a shout, he ran away in an instant.
The people with spots on their bodies were suddenly rescued, and they were all grateful, one by one they came up and rattled and said something, some bowed their heads, some came to hold hands, and some people even cut off the ears of several enemies who fell to the ground and handed them to Hu Yi'er and others.
found that the language was incomprehensible, and Hu Yi'er was helpless, so she could only learn from the Jilin tribe and hug their fists.
Those people were talking about something, pointing to the spots on their bodies, and making a "ba, ba" sound. Hu Yi'er thought of them as a tribe called Youban. Then she revealed a tiger head tattoo to introduce herself: "Tiger Barbarian! ”
On the other side, several people were rescuing people who had fallen to the ground.
They found the wounded man's wound, took out the arrow, cut it open with a sharp object, and waited for the poisonous blood to come out. It's just that most of these wounds are starting to be red and swollen, and the wounds don't bleed much, and some people help squeeze them, but it doesn't work.
"Snake venom." Pi Jiao'er sniffed it in the past, and turned back to Hu Yi'er.
An old strong man who looked like a leader of the Banban tribe gestured to Hu Yi'er for a while, indicating that those who fled were tribes that believed in snakes, and they used snake poison to hurt people, and most of the injured people would die slowly.
At the end of the comparison, the old strong man became sad and began to sing sadly. The others followed the tune and sang sadly. Most of the people lying on the ground were still conscious, and when they heard the song, they all showed grief and reluctance, obviously knowing that they were about to die.
Hu Yi'er remembered the antidote method that Lin Ji said, and gestured: "I'll try it." As he spoke, he pulled Pi Jiao'er and started to move his mouth directly.
Poisonous blood is difficult to flow out, and it is more effective to use sucking.
As far as Hu Yi'er knew, after being bitten by a snake, they had no good way but to sacrifice and pray after bloodletting - Lin Ji said that it was tantamount to dry up. Although Lin Ji said that after being poisoned by the snake, whether he can survive depends on the will of heaven in the end. Hu Yi'er felt that Lin Ji's method should be better than dry boiling. At least sucking blood can make the poisonous blood flow out faster, which is reliable.
The people of the Youban tribe were shocked, and they repeatedly tried to pull them apart, probably saying that this was snake venom and could not be sucked.
Lin Ji told Hu Yi'er about the classification of some toxins through blood and some through gastrointestinal action. She knew that smoking snake venom would not be poisonous, and Pi Jiaoer actually knew this, so she waved her hand and ignored it.
The wounds of the five fallen wounds were sucked until the blood turned red.
Then Hu Yier took out a lighter and began to make a fire to roast the poison.
When Hu Yi'er lit the fire, the atmosphere of the scene changed. Everyone in the Youban tribe watched the fire rise out of thin air, and one by one they became excited and admired, and no one interrupted Hu Yi'er's treatment. Even the eyes of the five wounded on the ground burst with hope.
Soon after, although Hu Yi'er burned several injured people to death, they saw that Hu Yi'er and Pi Jiao'er showed no signs of poisoning, and they were still full of confidence in Hu Yi'er.
When the sun was about to set, the people of the Youban tribe carried the wounded on their backs and pulled Hu Yi'er and the others towards their own tribe.
They lived not far from the riverbank, and numbered only fifty or sixty people. They gestured to tell Hu Yi'er that they made a living from fishing and sometimes hunted in the forests on the shore.
Huyi'er found that they also lived in a thatched hut in a semi-crypt, like most of the tribes in the vicinity of Human.
When they arrived at the tribe with Madara, the people with Mada first introduced the matter of Hu Yi'er and others to the tribe's people, and then an old man stood tremblingly in front of Hu Yi'er and asked in Hu Yi'er's familiar language: "Are you really from Human?" ”
