As the sky grew darker, Moguu began to notice that the few had left the camp and were concentrating on a clearing, so he interrupted his reverie, stood up with his cane, and walked towards the clearing.

After nightfall, the tribe's nocturnal religious services are held in the open grasslands, far from the campsites.

Torches emitting black smoke were planted in the grass in a large circle. Inside the circle are many stones arranged in a small concentric circle. The tribesmen arrived one after another, found their place behind the rocks, and sat down on the spot.

The Great Mogueu had been standing against the rocks, and when he saw that all the people had taken their seats, he waited a moment and stepped into the center of the circle, holding a small torch of burning fragrant wood. He planted a small torch in the open space in the center of the circle, and his hand was stuck behind it.

The sky was pitch black, dark clouds obscured the moon, and only the stars shimmered faintly. Under the evening breeze of the grassland, the flames burning on the torches flickered and shone on the faces of the tribesmen, looming, adding a mysterious color.

At this moment, the Great Mogueu stood on one foot with his healthy left leg in the center of the circle, and with his one eye, he glanced around the faces of all the seated people in the room.

His blazing gaze seemed to be able to pass through the real world realm and see another world realm that others could not see.

The thick black bear skin wrapped around his one-sided bulging and asymmetrical body, making him appear to be possessed by a god rather than a real being.

His deformed appearance, his mutilated body, was not as good as an ordinary and qualified man in the world, but he became a transcendent man in the conduct of religious ceremonies, with supernatural character and an awe-inspiring image of greatness

The ritual was complicated, and time flew by under this mysterious power, and the late-night ritual was all completed. Sitting alone in the open grassland, the Grand Mogueu saw the last torch rattle and finally extinguish it.

He didn't know what to do, and suddenly thought of the little boy that Nala had picked up, and felt a wave of uneasiness hit his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it, so that it developed into a whole body discomfort.

Mogueu shrugged, showing that he didn't care about his restlessness. He stood up, carefully wrapped the black bear skull in his cloak, reached for his cane, and limped to his quarters.

In a completely inconspicuous tent, the little boy, who is unconscious at the moment, keeps calling "Mommy"! He unconsciously uttered a cry of eating, his arms thrashed violently to the side, and he shouted louder, "Mommy!"

Nala gently pressed the little boy beside her, making a soft "oops" sound, and then leaned over, snuggled tightly to the boy's thin body, and the warmth and comfort of her own body seeped into the little boy's now hot brain, quieting him down.

The boy seemed to be asleep all night, and in the middle of the night he kept agitating and talking and waking Nala again and again, so that Nala did not sleep well all night. The boy's voice was peculiar, very different from that of Nala's own people.

The boy's voice was light and smooth, one tone blending with the other, and many of them were not only incapable of learning but even indistinguishable subtle differences in speech.

But there was a special set of voices, which the boy repeated over and over again, and Nala guessed that it was the name of someone closest to the boy, and when Nala brought her warm body close to the boy, the noisy little boy fell silent, and Nala understood who this person was.

Looking at the little boy who was not eating in his arms, Nala thought that this boy could not be too old, because he didn't even know how to forage for food.

Nala wondered, "How long has this boy been left alone?"

What accidents have befallen his people?

Did you also encounter earthquakes and terrifying tsunamis?

Has he been running alone since the earthquake?

How did he escape the black bear attack with only a few claw marks?"

Based on Nora's experience of seeing injured hunters many times, it was concluded that the wounds on the boy's legs were caused by claw marks, and were indeed wounded by a black bear. But it was a miracle that he was able to save his life. This must be protected by a strong God from being killed.

It was still dark, but dawn was coming. The boy's whole body was sweating, and the heat gradually subsided. Nala hugged him tightly to increase his body temperature and make sure his body was recovering.

At this time, Wang Dahai woke up in a daze, he didn't know where he was, he thought he was dead, was this heaven or hell?

There was darkness all around, he couldn't see anything, Wang Dahai felt a woman's body close to him at this time, which made his painful heart slowly calm down, and he seemed to be in a dream?

He felt that this dream was so comfortable, he hadn't felt this comfortable feeling for a long time, he didn't want to wake up, he wanted this dream to continue forever, so Wang Dahai closed his eyes again and fell asleep quietly.

The East wants to know. The sky is gradually turning white, and the morning star is shining brightly to welcome the new day.

In the faint light of the stars, the silhouette of the branches and leaves of the trees was faintly reflected in the sky of the camp. Nala slowly crawled out of the warm fur bed, lit the fire, added some firewood, and took the bowl to the stream to fill it with water, and peeled the bark from the willow trees on the bank.

Nala peeled the bark, rested for a while, and pinched the amulet hanging around her neck with her fingers as a sign of gratitude to the god of the willow tree. She often thanked the god of the willow tree because the willow tree was everywhere and its bark was able to relieve pain.

Nala has lost count of how many times she has stripped willow bark and decoctioned to treat the pain of the wounded.

She knew that there were many herbs that had a stronger analgesic effect, but all had side effects that numbed the senses.

The side effects of willow bark are very small, which can not only relieve pain in the painful area, but also reduce fever [the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates mentioned that willow bark has analgesic and antipyretic effects. Its active ingredient is salicylic acid (salicylic acid), which can be used to make aspirin. 】。

Just as Nala was hunched over toward the fire and threw the hot pebbles into a bowl of willow bark and water to fry the willow bark juice, a few of the tribe had risen and begun to walk.

When Nala had finished frying the juice, she returned to the fur bed, carefully buried the wooden bowl containing the bark sap in a small pit in the ground, and then burrowed into the bed and lay down beside the boy.

Nala carefully observed the sleeping little boy and noticed that the boy's breathing had become normal, and became very interested in the boy's unusually delicate face.

At this moment, the boy's face was peeling due to sun exposure and lack of salt, and there was a small peeling spot on the bridge of the small nose, revealing Bai Zhe's skin.
