These old people are all believers in the Taiping Dao, and they were just in exile before, but at this time, seeing that the valley began to build a school, and everything went well, they also moved and asked Deng Ji to arrange people to build the altar, set up the throne of the great sage and good teacher, and the believers also worshiped for four festivals.

Just like the root who was forced to go to Xiaquyang to snatch Zhang Bao's body, Deng Ji couldn't afford to provoke these believers, and he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

Deng Ji didn't know what the pros and cons of the existence of religion were, but he thought that it was better to use it for his own use, and the old men were ready to leave, he suddenly moved in his heart and asked: "The great sage and good teacher use talismans and spells to cure people, I don't know how much you have learned from such skills?" ”

The old men are the same as Deng Ji, they haven't even seen Zhang Jiaomian, he is suspicious of ridicule, there is a man named Changde, who has a prestige among the believers, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The great sage and good teacher are known as living immortals, how can we compare with ordinary people like me?" ”

Changde is a native of Runan, everyone went all the way north, Deng Jizi also recognized him, so he smiled:

"What Chang Lao said is true, the great sage and good teacher are good at curing diseases and saving people, and they are famous all over the world, they are immortal figures, but although we can't learn those immortal methods of water and spells, we should not forget its virtue of relieving the suffering of the people!"

There are many witch doctors in this era, combining the way of ghosts and gods with diseases, the people are more convinced, and it may not be scientific in the eyes of future generations, but no one can deny that it has a certain truth, Chinese medicine was originally developed from primitive witchcraft, and there is no shortage of capable witches, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao may be one, whether it is a mistake, the psychological effect is good, whether it is a small trick to pretend to be a ghost, it is certain that he has saved many lives, many of them are plague patients, which makes his name popular among the people, Willing to rebel with him and seek to seize the world.

The old men thought deeply of Deng Ji's words, and they all bowed their heads, and the thief head smiled again: "Ordinary means, the disease only depends on the art of medicine and stone, and we can't learn the ability of immortals. ”

"I'm going to be in the ground in a few years, but I don't know anything about medicine," the young man said reasonably, but where did this group of old bones still have time to learn medicine, Chang De was puzzled: "I can't read words, even if I want to learn, it's too late!" ”

Deng Ji said with a smile: "You are old, you may not be able to do it, but select young and intelligent people in the valley, ask two doctors to teach carefully, and you will urge you to spread the name of Taiping Dao in the future, and the virtue of great sages and good teachers will not be difficult!" ”

Listening to Deng Ji's words, Changde and other old men pondered for a while, and then began to shine in their eyes, doctors do not need much advanced knowledge, but literacy is inevitable, since there are famous teachers to teach children to read, they have selected dozens of people from them to train into good doctors, and then treat the disease and save people to spread the good name of the great sage and good teacher, and accept the believers, which is very beneficial to Taiping Dao.

The reason why Deng Ji proposed this is because with the construction of the school, he is considering whether girls can also study, because in this era, women cannot be officials, can not go into battle, literacy and hyphenation is not very useful, not to mention those girls' parents, Deng Ji himself felt that there was no need to let them enter the hall, at this time, he had a flash of inspiration, and he could also choose the smart one as a female doctor, and this matter was left to these Taiping Dao believers in front of him to do it best, better than himself.

――

In the scorching summer, Deng Ji followed behind Wu Miao and Jiao Qin, picking and digging wild vegetables in the mountains together. Fortunately, the scorching sun was mostly covered by the leaves on the top, and it was not too hot, but when he encountered a steep mountain, he stepped forward and pulled the two girls over.

It has been more than ten days since he entered the thief's den, and not only has Wu Shi Jiao learned to distinguish all kinds of wild vegetables and mushrooms from the thief women, but even Deng Ji has also learned many species that have not been eaten or seen in later generations.

Artemisia, amaranth, fern, vettle, and camellia were all dug up by the roots and put into baskets made of weeds by the craftsmen behind them, and occasionally the mountain mushrooms were picked and put away.

The two women really married a chicken and a chicken and a dog and a dog, and they had a very strong ability to endure, and followed Deng Ji, the head of the thief, from brocade clothes and jade food to coarse tea and light rice, and then to dig wild vegetables in the mountains like this, the transition is extremely natural, if it is placed in the years and months known to Deng Ji in later generations, it is almost impossible.

You must know that although the price of wild vegetables was coaxed by the people in the city to be higher than the price of meat in later generations, it is said to be rich in various nutrients, and health care, but Deng Ji, a farmer, has always thought that those people are full and have nothing to do.

Not far from their anger, it is the few maids who are married with them, and they have also been matched with men in the valley, although they are slaves, heavy farm work has not been done since childhood, naturally most of them have fine skin and tender meat, not like ordinary mountain village women, to the valley has not been two days, there have been soldiers to beg for people, this is still to see Deng Ji's face, if according to the past practice, there is no man around to take care of it, it has long been used strongly, once dragged into the dense forest ravine, let her scream throat, no one will do much.

Whether it is a moth thief or a black mountain thief, this kind of incident can not be controlled by that Qu Shuai, and Deng Ji can't do it, but he has to take care of the face of Wu Jiao and the two women, and simply let the maids choose among the soldiers, which is better than being forced in the end.

The Zhangren only knocked two hundred stone of grain, and it is estimated that the same is true for other families, after the plague on the side of the Hou Kingdom, there is little damage, and there is no shortage of ingredients in the mountains and wilderness, so it is better to rely on your own people to survive it.

The main task of the strong people is to hunt, the soldiers take the lead, hunt from the mountains around the valley, rely on the number of people, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, wild boars, roe deer, muntjac, rock sheep, monkeys, rabbits, pheasants and other large and small prey as long as they see it, among which the archers are the most useful, not to mention the subsidized food, the rest can also be pickled and dried in the shade, and the mountains after their hunting are free of large beasts, The women began to dig for wild plants.

"Ahh

Holding a plantain in front of him with a branch, Deng Ji suddenly heard Wu Jiao's exclamation, and when she raised her head, she had rushed into her arms in a panic with a gust of wind, her delicate body trembled, and she trembled with the weeds behind her fingers, and trembled: "Snake... There are snakes! ”

Hearing that there was a snake, Jiao Qin was also busy taking the maidservants to escape behind Deng Ji, the woman in his arms was frightened, Deng Ji hurriedly grabbed it and asked, "Did you bite it?" ”

"No, no!"

Some poisonous snakes are highly venomous, in this era, if you are bitten, you will be hopeless, and you will be lucky not to bite, Deng Ji let go, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then it's okay, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

Just now he was frightened and subconsciously fled into the man's arms, and at this time he reacted, although the man was already his husband, Wu Miao was still a little ashamed, and he was busy leaving his arms with a red face, turning around and throwing himself into Jiao's arms.

Deng Ji stepped forward and used a branch to pick up the weeds, but it was a cauliflower snake with a bowl mouth thick and light yellow, which was also frightened and was busy winding its way forward.

In the grass, the snake speed was very fast, and Deng Ji only glanced at it, and was immediately overjoyed: "Good guy, Lao Tzu is not lucky?" ”

Cauliflower snake is also known as the king snake in later generations, it is the fastest growing snake in addition to the python, non-venomous, distributed throughout the country, when he was at home in his previous life, he liked this kind of snake the most, as long as he encountered very few of the spared, he would ask the same village partner to cook and eat.

This snake is a big guy, you can see the place you pass, the weeds are all suppressed and shaking, and there is a rustling sound, Deng Ji flew up with a few arrows, and the branch whipped on the snake to stop its escape momentum, twisted the snake's tail and lifted it, "snapped" and threw it on the big tree next to it, and then stepped forward and pinched seven inches, it could only wrap its body around Deng Ji's arm, struggling to get out.

"Today is a blessing!"

This snake is a big guy, one or two pounds, feeling the weight of the snake, Deng Ji is very happy, but the women are afraid to lean over.

There are also a lot of wild vegetables, there is this snake to interrupt, today I collected the basket early, and led the Wu family Jiao to say goodbye to other old and young women and children who were still digging, and went down the mountain.

Among the wild animals hunted, the snake meat is difficult to marinate, and it is eaten on the same day. The rice in the valley has always been used together, but with this snake here, Deng Ji decided to open a small stove today, and let Wu's Jiao pick some tender and delicious wild vegetables to take first, and then take some mountain mushrooms, and then asked the maids to carry a few full baskets to the public.

The gang found a kettle that was not used (note), Deng Ji held a snake on his left and a kettle in his right hand, Wu and Jiao carried wild vegetables and mushrooms together, and went to the river to find Tian Feng.

As the saying goes, the mountain eats the mountain and the water is draught, this valley is not far from the Qingzhang River, Deng Ji and others will not let go of the fish and shrimp in the river, there are many southerners among the old and weak, there is a good hand in hunting fish, just arrived in the valley to live in peace not long ago, set up a raft, ask the woman to weave a fishing net with twine, net fish in the river, improve the food, and now it is a hard time to cast the net.

Compared with later generations, the wild fish and shrimp in the Qingzhang River can be said to be countless, catfish, rays, white stripes, soft-shelled turtles, etc., there are a lot, and some can not be named, the big one is six or seven feet, the river fish is delicious, but not all can be eaten, you have to pick it again, and throw it back to the river if you don't know it.

The thieves who are good at fishing use nets, but the famous people of Tian Da love to fish, and they are in a good mood these days, and they are also here to have fun while the school has not yet been built.

Note: kettle, ancient cooking utensils, a kind of pot, with a mouth at the bottom, or two ears, the shape is very similar to the large clay pot for the development of sauerkraut, there are several kinds of iron, copper and pottery.

Another: There is another chapter, just a little late, to make up for what I owe yesterday.
