Chapter 39 The Wilderness of Death

"That big flower insect bone, you lost ......"

The young man Ah Fu staggered behind Lin Yuan, and suddenly said this.

They had already walked a torch, the old man was right, along the hillside next to the flower and stone, sure enough, there was a path, the Yan people lined up in several columns, and passed through in turn, and the speed of the tribe's migration was greatly accelerated.

Just after turning a big bay, Ah Fu suddenly said this, as if he was afraid that the old man would hear it too early.

"Oh?!" Lin Yuan didn't look back and dealt with it.

Ah Fu lowered his head, walked a few more steps, then snorted a few times, and said:

"That's a big insect bone, after the mugwort leaves are smoked, ground into powder, mixed with green bamboo juice and drunk, you can continue the tendons and bones, and the one you hit is a big flower insect, a big flower insect bigger than a big insect, enough to exchange for 8 wild deer, far more valuable than me......"

"Oh......" Lin Yuan still didn't look back, and continued to deal with it.

Ah Fu was a little anxious, and said resignedly:

“…… That, in fact, he lied to you, he is not my grandfather at all......"

Lin Yuan stopped and turned around slowly, Ah Fu's nervous legs trembled, for fear that the chief in front of him would punish him.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that Lin Yuan had a bad smile on his face and said:

"We know this, and I still know, there is a problem with this road, isn't it?"

Ah Fu was taken aback, he didn't expect this chief to guess it at all.

"You, how does the king know ......?"

"Moreover, I also know that you are not actually a small family fleeing at all, but a huge clan and tribe behind you, right?"

Ah Fu was stunned on the spot and opened his mouth wide:

"Ah......?"

"From the very beginning of meeting you, I thought it was strange, I think, what are you looking for here? Kiwi? Beast? Still is...... Herbs? ”

Lin Yuan said the last word, which was slightly more aggravated.

Although the tone was only slightly heavier, but for the young man, it was like a burden of ten thousand catties, and with a plop, Ah Fu instantly knelt on the ground, and said everything like a bamboo tube:

"I'm sorry, my lord! We lied to you, I don't want to be like this, my master won't let him say it...... That's the kind of person he is...... King...... Please bypass our tribe...... We...... Hey, how do you know we're looking for herbs? ”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"I'm not very sure, but you couldn't help but say the role of the saber-toothed tiger bone just now, which made me more convinced of my guess, in this place where birds don't, the two of you, sneaky, with a skin bag full of weeds on your back, are so interested in my tiger bone, and you are secretly afraid that we will find out the location of your tribe...... Either you're afraid we'll rob you of your treasure, or you've got some ulterior secret! ”

Ah Fu was so frightened that he lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out, this king's logical ability was really beyond his ability to understand as a primitive person.

"Rao...... The king spared his life......"

Lin Yuan's eyes rolled and said:

"You're here for herbs?"

"Yes yes yes ......"

Lin Yuan nodded, indeed, it is true that these timid primitives can leave the mountains and come to this unconcealed place, there are only these herbs that can only grow on the swampy plains, he has learned through the eggplant before, the primitives of this era have actually begun to use weeds to try to treat some common diseases, such as the kind of grass used to bandage the wound of the blade before, Chinese medicine has begun to take off as early as this ancient era.

But the main problem of medicine in this era is that there is no unified medical text, and each tribe has different herbal formulas and treatments, some of which are effective, but many more are home remedies that have no effect.

For example, although he knows how to eat carrion with maggots and stop bleeding with weeds, he doesn't know if he asks anything else.

Generally speaking, the primitive people of this era are basically still groping their way forward on the edge of herbalism, and the primitive people who are interested in specializing in herbal medicine are even rarer.

However, the two primitive people just now are obviously different, they seem to be people who are specifically responsible for the study of herbal medicine.

Lin Yuan has observed this primitive society for a long time, it seems that no tribe will send people to collect herbs, as any tribe is very human resources, almost everyone who can move will be sent to hunt, and specifically to collect herbs? Or two people together? And it's just strange to be in such a desolate place.

The only explanation is that this tribe is a very special tribe, perhaps, this tribe does not live by hunting, but by gathering herbs for a living, and then exchanging food with other tribes?

These few things were spinning around in Lin Yuan's mind, and he thought about it and decided to take something out of this Ah Fu in front of him.

"Your tribe shouldn't be far from here, right?"

"Ah~ not far, but not close......"

Ah Fu is also honest and will answer any questions.

"Are the herbs you picked enough to eat in exchange for the tribe?" Lin Yuan said this coldly.

"Ahh Yes, yes, those people of the Tu and Bai tribes, they often come to change ......"

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, he turned around and whispered a few words to the eggplant, and then the eggplant replied in a low voice:

"Don't worry, King Yan has already arranged for someone to follow him, and he will come back to report as soon as he finds the other tribe."

Lin Yuan nodded, he touched his chin and looked at Ah Fu lying on the ground, as if he was thinking about what to do with this person.

"Outside the valley, what's in danger?!! Frankly! ”

Lin Yuan pretended to be fierce and roared.

Ah Fu's head climbed lower, and said:

"Ghost Beast!! There are ghosts and beasts!! The old man won't let me say it! Don't go down, it's going to be dark! The ghosts are going to come out in large numbers, and they will eat everything......"

Lin Yuan frowned, glanced at the Yan clan members beside him, and asked:

"What is this ghostly beast? Have you heard of it? ”

The crowd shook their heads one after another.

"Your name is ...... Ah Fu, Ah Fu, give you a chance, give us a good talk about the ghost beast...... And the situation of this Dead Wilderness. ”

Ah Fu hurriedly raised his head and told Lin Yuan about the only time he encountered a ghost beast.

Lin Yuan nodded, listening to Ah Fu's description, it seems that this ghost beast is just a few ordinary beasts, not some supernatural power, since it is a beast, then there is nothing to worry about, the future history tells him that all beasts will eventually be conquered by humans!

In this regard, Lin Yuan is still very confident.

"What else is there under the mountain besides this ghost beast?"

Lin Yuan continued to ask.

Ah Fu thought for a moment, then shook his head lightly and said:

"The King...... I just followed the old man out a few times before I encountered a ghost beast, and I never went down again...... However, I heard the old man say that there is a different world entirely, there is everything, and there are death traps everywhere......"

"So, your old man is planning to trick us into the wilderness and let that ghost beast eat us? But why is that? ”

Ah Fu wanted to speak and stopped, he saw Lin Yuan nodding encouragingly, so he plucked up the courage and said:

"Actually...... The old man himself is not bad, but he has been captured by you tribes in the south, so he has always been very prejudiced against foreign races...... He should be the one who is afraid of you, there are so many people, our Shennong clan can't beat it no matter what, he is afraid that you will rob the tribe, so he wants to trick you into the den of the ghost beast......"

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, so it was......

Wait a minute......

"You say, what? Shen nong? Are you Shennong? ”

Lin Yuan asked in a low voice.

Ah Fu nodded.

Ah, I see, Shennong, collect medicine! It turns out that they are the ancestors of the legendary Chinese medicine, the Shennong people who have tasted all the herbs.

Lin Yuan suddenly became interested in this Ah Fu.

"You just said that you know the use of this tiger bone, what else do you know? Can weeds be recognized? I mean weeds that can be used to heal diseases. ”

Ah Fu nodded stupidly and said:

"Yes...... Yes, the old man taught me the mantra......"

Lin Yuan nodded happily, yes, you must know that in ancient times, words were not invented, and knowledge was all passed on by word of mouth. If this Afu can be retained in the tribe in the future, it will definitely have a great effect.

Good!

"How many herbs can you recognize?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

"There are a total of 66 formulas, each of which is 2 kinds of herbs, a total of ...... Ah Fu doesn't know ...... either."

After Ah Fu finished counting with two fingers, he wanted to count with his toes, but then he still couldn't count, scratching his ears and cheeks.

Anna was grinning, and she had been quietly watching.

Lin Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth and said:

"There are 132 kinds in total! Well, don't count! ”

Ah Fu looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, and his eyes seemed to be more exaggerated than seeing the immortals.

"The King...... You're so powerful, how do you count them? ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand, it seems a little early to give the primordial people the multiplication now, let's talk about it later.

"Don't talk about this, I also understand the situation outside the valley, look at the sun, there is still time for 3 torches, it is estimated that it will fall, let's hurry up and get out of the mountain!"

"Huh!?"

Ah Fu was stunned, he originally wanted to tell the truth to make the leader of the Yan clan dispel the idea of going out of the mountain rashly, he never thought that why did this king insist on going out after listening to what he said? That's too ......

"The King...... There's a ghost beast down there! It's going to be dark soon! Don't go, it's too dangerous! ”

Ah Fu said uneasily.

Lin Yuan turned around and smiled slightly, smiled slyly, and said:

"So what do you mean? Let's just squeeze into this pass and sleep overnight? Are you fooling me? Look around here, there are all high mountains, and there is only such a narrow canyon, turn around and wait for us to fall asleep, your old man will bring your Shennong clan over, put the valley at both ends, stand on the hillside and push a few big stones down, we will all play! Are you really stupid, or are you fake stupid? ”

Lin Yuan said the above words to Ah Fu meaningfully, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to be a little unsure in his heart, is the young man in front of him so loyal and honest by nature? Or is it just some kind of disguise?

Anyway, it's got to this point, and it's better to get through the canyon as soon as possible.

"Anna, eggplant, give the order, let's hurry forward, and get out of this canyon before the sun goes down! Fast! ”

After speaking, Lin Yuan pulled the rope and walked out of the valley with Ah Fu.

Not far ahead, an open grassland awaits them, as far as the eye can see......
