Chapter 12 Drink medicine as a drink
How stupid the people of the tribe were, this was something that Wang Chuan had never thought about before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoLater surveys have shown that poverty affects IQ, and people who suffer from long-term hunger have not much higher IQ. It was a few days after he had taught the tribesmen about it.
Casting a net is a relatively simple thing, just pull it aside and throw it out first, and the average person should be able to read it once. It's easy for the tribesmen to twist the whole net and throw it out. Teach them ten times, and not one person will be able to fully master the technique.
Thinking of the scene when he took them to cast a net to kill a crocodile for the first time, Wang Chuan felt that he was really lucky to be able to catch the crocodile that time.
It doesn't matter if you're stupid, the tribesmen are still upright. If you practice a few more times, you will be familiar with it, and if you let them practice a few more times, they will practice obediently and will not be lazy. This means that this is not a problem.
It's just that when it comes to learning how to use rope lass and traps, it's a bit troublesome to have no imagination.
It's different from teaching these kids to do the tricks. The only prey children face is birds and birds, so a kind of condom is basically enough. Catching squirrels and rats or something like that was just a coincidence.
Adults have to face a variety of animals, according to the size of these animals, habits, hooves, living environment and other different situations, to consider the size of the sleeve, the depth of the trap, the height of the branches, the thickness of the wood, whether to kill or live, how to prevent biting the rope and other factors. If it's not a trap that doesn't work in the right place, these things will be in vain. For example, if you use a rabbit's lasso to lassoe a deer, or if you use a deer's stomping stick to lassoe a rabbit, it is obviously not possible.
In this way, these traps become diverse and complex. Then the people of the tribe were blindfolded.
In the past, hunting for them was just to see wild beasts chasing after them and throwing stone spears. Now in the face of these complex traps and ropes, it is difficult for them to learn and accept for a while.
Wang Chuan taught these things for a few days, and the men of the tribe only learned the most basic form of traps, as well as the arch and stake of the rope lasso. And it's all just a rigid copy, other subtle and in-depth things, sorry, I can't remember.
It's better to teach men these things, but it's maddening to teach women. Women seem to be born without the ability to imagine space, tens of thousands of years later, and tens of thousands of years ago. A noose has just been taught, and then they are arranged with the same one next to them, and they will not be able to do it many times. What's even more desperate is that many of them will stick their heads into the noose after the noose is set and try to trigger it again. On more than one occasion, Wang Chuan imagined them being trapped in the wild by their own noose. Then he decided to just teach them to cast their nets.
Teaching this kind of students, and these are all elders, don't be in a hurry and can't scold, don't mention the depression in your heart. One word tired.
Fortunately, they can play smoothly after practicing for half a day in the hand of casting nets, and the group of people who go out to hunt crocodiles every day use Wang Chuan's three-plate axe to hunt crocodiles very well, and one or two crocodiles, big or small, are brought back to the cave every day. This made the tribe not worry about food, and also allowed Wang Chuan to sometimes teach them these things slowly, or let them explore slowly.
……
When Wang Chuan wakes up every day, he always feels that this world is a little unreal. Before he woke up, he clearly felt that he was sleeping on a soft big bed in the future, covered with a soft quilt, and a soft jade man lying beside him. But when I woke up, I realized that I was sleeping in a cave, covered with hay and lichen, covered with lichen that was still crumpled together. The jade man didn't even have to think about it, there were two thin wild children squeezed around him, one was drooling for a long time, and the other was shrunk into a ball and squeezed into his arms, and his bones hurt him a lot.
It's the strong cow who is drooling, and whoever is in the quilt doesn't care who is the skinny bone first.
The good news is that it's not cold when you fall asleep like this.
It's just that the temperature has decreased, but it still increases the heat dissipation of the body, and I actually feel a little hungry when I wake up in the morning.
Although there is not much harvest from hunting these days, because there are crocodiles in the account every day, my mother also knows the truth that it is better to raise fat in autumn for winter, and she eats twice a day under the condition of controlling the amount. One meal in the evening is fixed. During the day, they were given out to eat jerky on the road, and those who did not go out and the children ate it in the cave near noon, mainly eating the birds, squirrels, and freshly killed crocodiles.
Although it is a controlled portion, these foods are often full enough, so that after such a high-fat meal, he will be hungry in the morning, and the strong cattle who eat more than him will not grow meat, which is worth noting.
Do you have worms in your stomach? As soon as this idea popped up, Wang Chuan was almost immediately sure. In the past few days, I haven't paid much attention to my diet, but I still have occasional stomach pains, and now I'm hungry when I eat so much, and this body ate raw meat before it came. In such a situation, it is normal to have a parasite, roundworm.
This symptom may be present to people of the entire tribe. In addition to these, these people have some spots on their faces, both adults and children, and they didn't pay attention to it before, but now that they think about it, they must be roundworm spots. No wonder these two people are yellow and thin, and after eating meat for ten days and half a month, they don't see any more meat. It seems that the hygiene problem will have to be tighter in the future.
But we have to cure this disease first, otherwise it's a waste of meat every day, and these children have been tortured by this kind of thing for a long time, and they will grow short and thin when the time comes, how can they survive in this era full of crises?
The insecticides of later generations are generally sugar pills, and there is no time and space store in this era, so there is no need to think about it. In terms of Chinese herbal medicine, it seems that the root bark of the purple flower tree, black plum, and green bamboo heart can also be boiled in water to fight insects? I forgot where I saw the recipe, it seems that I drank this when I lived in the countryside, and it seems to have some effect.
There are purple trees outside the mountains and forests. It is a tall tree. The fruit is a bit like a date, but the taste is bitter. Now is the autumn time when the fruit is ripe, and the children of the tribe will also pick it up and eat it. It's easy to dig a little bark from the roots.
You can find this thing from Amu's pile of dried fruits. The last time he dried food, Wang Chuan seemed to see a lot of dried plums in the dried fruits, and he just turned them out. Now that there is more food, I am still willing to ask for a few dried plums.
The green bamboo heart is out of the way. It's autumn now, and the bamboo hearts have grown into bamboo leaves. Then simply don't use it. Anyway, there is no sand pot or anything now, and you can only fold a bamboo tube to boil herbs. The bamboo tube should have some effect of bamboo heart, right?
Prepare ten bamboo tubes first, wash the root bark of the purple flower tree, put a few in a bamboo tube, and then put a few black plums and fill it with water. The insect medicine is best drunk on an empty stomach in the morning, and the next morning it gets up and puts it in the fire to boil, and after half an hour it wafts in the cave with the sour smell of black plum, and the people in the tribe all surround it, and the people who go out also stop and habitually prepare to share the food.
Egalitarianism can sometimes kill people. It's medicine. When Wang Chuan took out a bamboo tube from the fire, waited until it was a little cooler, and then drank a little bit to prepare for the test medicine, the other bamboo tubes were taken out by them, and after being looked at by the mother, they drank it one by one.
Wang Chuan thought a lot, and said in his heart, if this is a broken intestine grass crane top red or something, wouldn't this tribe have to be finished like this?
After the people of the tribe drank it, some people chirped, saying that the taste of this thing is not bad, but it is a little less, not enough, and the fire boy will get some more tomorrow, and get a little more.
It seems that these guys, who never knew what medicine was, drank it as a drink. That's fine, this thing may not have any effect once and a half. Let's see if it works today, and if it works tomorrow, after two or three times, these stomach bugs should be cleaned up.
You don't need a doctor's order or anything. Anyway, these people are used to pulling every three days, being in pain for five days, or something. I just want to tell them that it is convenient to gather in one or two places near the cave today, so that it is convenient to clean up the filth.
Maybe it's because the bamboo tube replaces the bamboo heart, or maybe it's because the primitive people have no antibodies to the drug, and when the sun rises to two zhang high, the effect of the medicine begins to play, and the smell of flying is permeated near the tribe. Everyone was in a good mood.
The bamboo tube is a good thing. In addition to boiling medicine, it is also possible to boil some soup. When the people who had been pulling for a day went to the cave in the evening, they found that the fire boy had prepared something else to drink. But this time it's not sour, it's salty, it's broth.
Wang Chuan was afraid that these guys would pull out water and electrolyte imbalance, so he deliberately took the children to look for salt fruits all over the mountains, and then found that there were many such things in the bushes near the river. So he took a few children and followed the adults who hunted crocodiles to collect some of them. It is estimated that a lot can be collected later, and the marinated meat may not be enough, but it should not be a problem to cook a small amount of soup or something, and cook it a few times.
I have to take the medicine again tomorrow, and if I don't take a little supplement, some people who are in poor health may really lose themselves because of a worm.
Once again, the broth was unanimously welcomed by everyone. After drinking, everyone unanimously demanded: more.
There is no way to cook anything more in a bamboo tube. Wang Chuan felt that such a thing as pottery burning should be put on the agenda. In this era, because there were no meat cutting tools, the meat pieces that were grilled on the fire were always too thick. Coupled with the lack of a suitable barbecue coating, such barbecue meat is often charred on the outside and raw on the inside. There is no way to avoid parasites if they are not fully cooked. The best way to get the meat to cook thoroughly is to boil it in water.
If you need to use a kiln to burn pottery, if you want to dig a kiln, in the case of such a tool level, it is not something that a few children can do. With the consent of the mother, the men who stayed near the tribe came back after catching crocodiles, and they had to listen to Wang Chuan's command to dig a cave near the cave. But again, this thing can't be done in a day or two, you can only take it slowly.
After drinking the insect medicine for two days, the tribesmen all wilted for two days. In the following days, it was obvious that their spirits and complexions were improving. Even the older grandmother has become much more energetic. Strong cattle can directly see the long meat.
