Chapter 5

"Have you gone to gather the fruit of God? Ah Xi, why didn't you say it earlier! As if hearing an eight-magnitude earthquake, my mother's face changed suddenly.

Ah Xi lowered his head, rubbed his hands and whispered, "It's Qi who asked me not to say it...... Without the fruit of God, his female would have died. ”

"You don't know how dangerous it is! The fruit of God is guarded by fierce beasts, and anyone who picks the fruit will be torn to pieces by fierce beasts! Ah Mu looked anxious and frightened, and reprimanded, "Without Qi's protection, our tribe will be divided among other tribes, and we will not be able to eat meat and live in wooden houses, and all females will be plundered by those tribes at will." ”

Wa Xi was like a child who had done something wrong, and she was so scared that she was about to cry, "Kai said that he will definitely come back...... Mother, what should I do? ”

It's been a long time since I went to pick the fruit of the gods, and even hunting won't take such a long time, which is really worrying.

The mother didn't speak again, and walked out of the wooden house with a gloomy face.

......

Ye Qingxin, who was lying on the side, didn't have the heart to listen to the two of them, raised her hand and tried her forehead, the wind cold and fever made her fever at least thirty-nine degrees, and her whole body was as sore and weak as a balloon that had been emptied.

You have to find a way to make yourself sweat and reduce fever, otherwise in ancient times, there was no medical treatment, and if she burned again, it was really possible to kill her.

With his head spinning rapidly, Ye Qingxin instantly thought of several herbs that could reduce fever and sweat.

She is a professor of botany at Imperial Capital University, specializing in the study of medicinal plants, and she is still very familiar with the medicinal value of plants.

The wind is cold and feverish, if she can find any of them, such as the root of the blue, honeysuckle, nepeta, pudi, and houttuynia, she will be saved.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxin remembered that when he was bathing in the creek, there seemed to be a bush of bushes of nepeta growing on the bank!

It's really good, take it to boil water and drink, you can make her sweat and reduce her fever.

It's just that now that Qi is not here, and they can't understand what she says, what can I do?

"Rest?" Ye Qingxin looked at the baby who was sitting on the side and secretly wiping her tears, and called out tentatively.

That's what the middle-aged woman called her, and the two pronunciations of "Ah Xi" should be her name.

"Yes, you—do you know my name?" Suddenly hearing Ye Qingxin call himself, Ah Xi was startled.

"I, called, Ye Qingxin, heart." Ye Qingxin raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at himself.

"Heart?" Ah Xi only repeated the last word.

Ye Qingxin nodded, slowed down and said, "Can you help me pick some nepeta...... Uh, it's just a plant, it can help me with my fever? ”

"What are you talking about?" Ah Xi looked at her blankly.

"Nepeta, fever......" Ye Qingxin stretched out his hot hand and grabbed Ah Xi's hand.

"Your body, it's too hot, it's going to die." Ah Xi was taken aback by her temperature, and her eyes turned red again.

"Listen to me, go and help me collect medicine......"

Ye Qingxin pointed to his mouth, made another action of pulling out the plant, and then stretched out his finger to draw a nepeta on the dirt under the animal skin bed, and next to it, he enlarged the details of a nepeta leaf, and pointed it to Ah Xi.

A few small movements have already made her eyes spin around with Venus.

Lying back on the animal skin bed, Ye Qingxin slowed down for a long time before he had the strength to speak again, "You go pick this plant for me...... Ahem...... Boil water and drink, and I won't die. ”

Ah Xi's eyes widened and he looked at the ground blankly, then at her again, "You want this grass?" ”

Although she couldn't understand what Kai's female was saying, Ah Xi knew the plant she had drawn.

This plant is so common that it grows everywhere near their tribe because of a peculiar smell that no one likes it.

Strange, what does Kai's female want this stinky grass for?

"Go and help me pull this plant back, please......" Ye Qingxin pointed to the painting of nepeta and made a plucking motion.

Looking at Ah Xi's dazed look, Ye Qingxin sighed softly, and he really didn't have the strength to compare with her anymore, it was up to her to understand whether he heard it or not.

It's really not good, when Qi comes back and tells Qi, he will definitely understand.

I don't know why, when I thought of Qi, Ye Qingxin's heart immediately felt a sense of security.

She closed her eyes, endured the discomfort all over her body, and fell asleep again.

Ah Xi didn't know when she went out, but when she came back, she really had a handful of nepeta in her hand.

"Heart, wake up. I picked the stinky grass you wanted. Ah Xi shook Ye Qingxin awake and put a large handful of nepeta with a special smell in front of her eyes.

"Ah, you're amazing!" Ye Qingxin said in surprise, stretched out his thumb at Ah Xi, and then opened his fingers upwards weakly, and then made a drinking motion, "Take it to boil water for me to drink, and I'll be fine." ”

Ah Xi looked dazed again, repeated her movements, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to ...... Burned it? Eat? ”

As she spoke, she shook her head, the action that the female of Kai did was clearly like drinking, could it be that she was going to drink these stinky grasses...... Boiled in water to drink?

Without waiting for Ye Qingxin to say more, Ah Xi ran out of the wooden house with nepeta.

Ye Qingxin waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw Ah Xi coming in with a heavy small stone pot.

She scooped up steaming water from a stone pot full of nepeta with leaves, and dried it for a while before she lifted Ye Qingxin up and fed her to drink.

Nepeta water fell down her mouth all the way to her stomach, and the warm liquid made her feel a lot more comfortable in an instant.

"I want to." Ye Qingxin exhaled lightly.

Ah Xi hurriedly scooped up water and fed her, and almost drank the nepeta water in the stone pot before Ye Qingxin lay down heavily.

Seeing that Ye Qingxin's face was no longer so ugly, Ah Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, helped her cover the animal skin, and sat aside to guard.

After sleeping for I don't know how long, Ye Qingxin was woken up.

This time she woke up differently, she felt that her body was sweating a lot, and her body, which was originally like being crushed by stones, suddenly became much more relaxed.

Ah Xi was not in the wooden house, Ye Qingxin looked up at the outside of the wooden house, and it was unexpectedly dark.

Outside, it was bustling, and several large fires lit up the tribal clearing.

The people of the tribe seemed to be arguing about something, and they couldn't understand it, but they could see that they were arguing very much.

The mother's voice was especially excited, chattering about something in the crowd, and from time to time let out a piercing scream.

At this time, Ah Xi stumbled in, threw himself in front of Ye Qingxin's animal skin bed, and shouted in horror, "Heart, Mother and the clan elders want to burn you to the gods for sacrifice, in exchange for Qi." ”

Ye Qingxin sat up, although he was still a little dizzy, but after the fever subsided, he felt more energetic.

She frowned and asked, "Ah Xi, you are in a hurry, what happened?" Is it about me? ”

Ah Xi knew that she didn't understand, so she was in a hurry, her palm was raised up to make a fire look, and she pointed at Ye Qingxin and said, "Qi went to pick the fruit of the gods for you and never came back, Ah Mu and the clan elders said that when the gods are angry, they will let the fierce beasts eat Qi." Our tribe can't do without Qi, Mother and the clan elders want to burn you to death, sacrifice to the gods, and exchange for our Qi. ”
