Chapter 10: Healing and Site Selection
After a night of careful consideration, Yu Guang decided that the Youjiao Clan Residence was not suitable for future development, and the general topography was very similar to the lower reaches of the Baishui River in the later urban area, even in the later generations, it was not a densely populated place.
And if the Baishui River floods, it will become an ocean, and only the middle and upper reaches of the north are the densely populated areas of the later generations.
Kaishan said that there was a shack clan there in the north for half a day, and there were only two hands of the number of people, and the big clan of the heavenly clan of more than 70 people could swallow them completely. Yu Guang is very strange, the horned tribe also lives in shacks, why don't they call it shack clan?
Along the way, after talking with Kaishan, I learned that many years ago, there was a giant beast with horns on its head, which disturbed the tribesmen, and was finally wiped out by the horned tribe, and the horned beast was cut off from the long horns on the head of the giant beast, and it became the horned tribe.
Yu Guang thought about it, there were horns on the top of his head, and he was along the river basin, either a buffalo or a rhinoceros. But Kaishan's language is rough, and it is difficult for him to analyze what kind of animal it is.
Along the way, I traveled in the sparse forest, and there were not many fierce beasts in this vicinity, because there were often horned clan activities, and the journey was quite safe.
However, Kaishan said, "The eastern side of the river has a crawling slope, a four-legged long tail, and an open mouth can swallow the black teeth whole." The frightened Black Fang hurriedly took out two stone spear javelins from behind his back, and kept staring at the half-human-tall weeds around him, making a group of people laugh.
Walk to the northwest for about two hours, the terrain gradually began to rise, although it is still the feeling of primeval jungle, but the trees here are not as tall and thick as near Fulong Mountain, and there are even no trees in some places, only half a person, one person high weeds, in a few days of autumn, these grasses have begun to turn yellow and dry up.
Not far away was the shack people, who knew how to build a fence with tree trunks and place them around with thorns, and in the middle of it a large shack, half cut off on the ground, much like a bunker in later generations.
And the entrance also has the rudiments of the earthen wall, the other party saw that someone was coming, and quickly climbed out of the shack more than a dozen young people, an old man holding a wooden stick was looking at this side, the young man was very nervous, holding a sharp wooden guard, and greeted the opposite side with a big smile.
After approaching, I found that it was Kaishan with a few young people, and the girl on one side said, "Ancestor, it is the Jiao clan in the south who opened the mountain." ”
"There are horns to open the mountain, we haven't seen each other for 100 days! Why are you here? The old man in sackcloth said weakly on crutches, perhaps not so loudly for a long time, and coughed continuously for a while.
Kaishan stepped forward to look at this primitive man and frowned and said, "Old shack, you are going to die, right?" That's all there is to it, can you live this winter? ”
The girl and a group of young people around the old shack immediately erected sharp trees and pointed at the mountain, "Ancestor, I led the clansmen to the river, and I also had a fight with Climbing, and I can live for 10,000 days!" ”
Only then did Yu Guang see that there was a crocodile skin more than three meters long hanging on the roof of the shack, and it began to secrete in his mouth in an instant. It's amazing that this old guy can hunt crocodiles. However, listening to Kaishan, this shack clan doesn't seem to like hunting fierce beasts very much, and they still kill fierce beasts at such an old age, I'm afraid they are preparing to eat for the winter, right? Inner guess.
"I said, I came to borrow fire before Xu Qian, there are no living creatures in this shack, so I went to find food!" Kaishan glanced at Yu Guang and said seriously.
This also explains that it is really providential to open the mountain to bypass the shack clan and travel far away to find trouble for the stone clan. Yu Guang saw an unknown piece of soft fur wrapped around the thigh of the old shack, and he frowned and wanted to say something.
Kaishan also saw it, "Old shack, why are you?" ”
"This group of children, take it all, there are horns and mountains are friends, what are you doing?" The old shack's face turned slightly red, and he coughed and said. "Youjiao Kaishan, I was about to find you and say, you have Jiao people who eat more food, help take this group of children away......"
"Zu, I'm not leaving," the girl cried. A few young men behind him also threw away the sharp wood and squatted on the ground without saying a word.
At this time, the old shack was unstable and fell backwards and fell unconscious.
Yu Guangyan quickly moved forward, and the forehead of the other party was very hot, "I actually have a fever..."
Kaishan also stepped forward to help, and helped the old shack back to the nest, the fire on the ground was not very bright, Yu Guang asked the girl to add a little more firewood.
The maiden wept and added firewood and said:
"The time has come, the clansmen are not looking for much food, Zu took the clansmen to the river to catch some fish, encountered a crawler, my big and Eminem were bitten to death, Zu took us to climb and knock down, the thigh was scratched, the clansmen were surrounded by groups of crawlers, just outside after a dark, back Zu began to do this."
Yu Guang became clear, and gently uncovered the fur wrapped in his thighs, only to find that the wound was already red and swollen, and it was estimated that it had been infected, that is, it was because of the infection that caused the fever.
He has no experience in dealing with wounds, anti-inflammatory drugs or something, as a high school student, he only knows the ingredients, and he can't remember what the herbs are now. At present, the only way to do this is to clean the wound with clean water first, boil him some pepper soup to drink, and sweat to see if he can live.
Hurriedly asked the bone knife to take out a small clay pot and fill it with some clean water, simply built a stove with stones, and put the clay pot on it to boil water. Yu Guang took off his jacket and the shirt inside, he was close to a cotton vest, through prehistory, these things on his body are limited editions, each one is quite expensive, although the body is not strong, but there is also a height of one meter seven, the cotton vest was cut in half by him with a bone knife, half rolled up and put into the inner pocket and magnesium rod aluminum strip close together.
After getting dressed, when the water boiled, the clay pot was removed from the improvised stove, the cotton cloth was washed in boiling water, and the wounds of the old shack were gently cleaned with some hot water.
The wound has long ceased to bleed, but it is only red and swollen, and if it continues like this, it will be ulcerated and rotten, and then the person will not be able to live without medicine. Wash the cotton cloth again, drain the water from the clay pot, boil another pot of boiling water, and put a small handful of pepper leaves and seeds in it to boil.
"Don't you want to stew this old fellow, do you?" Black Fang, who was licking his lips with his teeth full, said weakly.
Yu Guang knelt down at that time, damn! The first time he was a surgeon since he was born, he was ridiculed by this thing, and immediately let the turf pull the black tooth out, so as not to be embarrassed again.
Black Fang squatted in the corner aggrievedly and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Turf sneered, "Go back and let that one ear burn you!" Hey! ”
Two living treasures broke the tense atmosphere of a litter of people.
Yu Guang put the cotton cloth on the fire to dry again, and at this time the wound on the thigh of the old shack was also clean, no way, he didn't know that there were herbs there, and what the herbs looked like! I just know that it seems that dandelions can probably reduce inflammation, but now where to find that thing? You must look for it when you go back, store it, and don't think about salt now.
So he used a dry cotton cloth to bandage the entire wound, Yu Guang thought it was probably like this! The poor prehistoric medical conditions depend on the fate of this old man.
"Keep the temperature here, not too high, and bring the water out of the jar a little bit." As he spoke, he took out a small pottery cup from the leather pouch on the side, "It's a little hot, so let's drink it while it's hot." Yu Guang handed the quilt to the girl.
"Whether he can live or not depends on himself." Yu Guang said helplessly.
But for the twenty or so people of the shack clan, it was simply hope, and they all stared at the old shack that was sleeping after drinking pepper water, and the girl on the side helped wipe his sweat and stopped talking.
Yu Guang was a little tired, although the shack was not small, but it was a little stuffy, so he walked to the ground with a bone knife and Kaishan to observe the surrounding geographical location.
"The land here is fertile, not far from the big river, and it is not easy to be flooded, which is very suitable for ethnic life." After observing, Yu Guang said, the bone knife asked how to guard against fierce beasts far away from the mountains and forests, and there were no caves to live in?
So Yu Guang began to outline the Dazhai that was about to be built, and everyone sighed when they heard it, "That's where the heavenly people live!" ”
