Chapter 66: The Epidemic of Fever Sickness
When Hongxia'er mentioned the problem of carrying knives, the red-haired father thought that a leather scabbard should be made, and Xiafeng Cottage did not have the ability to make it.
Therefore, Hongxia'er asked the red-haired father to drive more pigs and sheep to trade, and strive to exchange as many knives and scabbards as possible, and she asked eighty paparazzi to drive fifty sheep and thirty pigs to follow the red-haired father to do this business.
A month later, the red-haired father brought back twenty-eight knives and cowhide scabbards for foxes.
It seems that this knife and scabbard were rare items in primitive societies and were very expensive.
However, there is no other way, who called Hongxia'er that they are not human but foxes?
Even if they're apes, it's much easier than that.
The key is that her subordinates are too inflexible, that's all.
Hongxia'er distributed the twenty-eight knives and scabbards as follows: three were left for herself, six for the fox archery team, four for the reconnaissance team, six for the cooking team, four for the logistics service team, and the remaining five for storage in the warehouse below.
In the past, the use of fire has greatly improved Hongxia'er's life, and now that she has a knife, how can she use it?
First of all, she asked the red-haired father to be a teacher, teaching the foxes how to use knives and carry knives and sheaths (including the posture and force of the knife, how to insert the knife into the scabbard and how to carry it, etc.), then she taught them how to use the knife to cut bamboo, make bamboo arrows and bamboo sticks, etc., and finally how to use the knife to stab the vital parts of wild beasts.
In addition, Hongxia'er also came up with the idea of using a knife to make fishing nets.
The red-haired father also agreed, but the key was where to find the materials to make fishing nets, which stumped them.
This fishing net has high requirements for materials, such as water, sunlight, cold, heat, and corrosion, as well as lightweight, soft, strong and durable.
Hongxia'er sent a fox team to search all over the mountains and fields, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find suitable materials.
Just as Hongxia'er was thinking about how to make fishing nets to catch fish and shrimp, it rained heavily for three days in a row, causing a lot of water to enter the caves where chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs were raised, and the fish in the two fish ponds were almost run out because of the rising river.
It was the height of summer, and the rain was falling one after another.
Soon it was reported that there was a chicken plague, which was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
Hongxia'er's brain is flying, she is the future person of our earth, but she knows the power of "bird flu".
Therefore, Hongxia'er immediately called the fox logistics service team to immediately pull out the dead and dying chickens and ducks and bury them, and kill all the chickens and ducks that were not sick around and eat them with fire, and also move other animals in captivity nearby, such as rabbits, pigs, sheep and cows, to new places.
Finally, I went to find lime and other things and sprinkled them on the place where the plague chickens had stayed, which was used to disinfect and kill the virus.
After the heavy rain stopped, it didn't take long for a large-scale swine fever to occur.
Hongxia'er had to bury the dead and dying pigs, and the remaining live pigs were all killed and roasted and eaten, so that everyone was happy.
However, this made the pig fart very angry and sad, and he felt like a shameful traitor when he saw his own people being killed and could do nothing.
Due to a bad mood, poor sleep and no appetite and not much to eat, the pig soon fell ill after fart, and soon developed a high fever.
When a fox found out, he immediately ran to Hongxia'er and reported, "That agricultural expert, Mr. Pig, also has swine fever and is now lying in his room." ”
"No, it won't. How is this possible? Take me to see it. After Hongxia'er finished speaking, she followed the fox who reported the news to watch the pig fart.
After a while, Hongxia'er came to the room where the pig farted and saw the pig fart lying on the bed and humming.
She stepped forward, touched its forehead with her front paws, and found that its forehead was very hot, knowing that it was a cold and fever, and hurriedly called a clever and fast-legged fox to go to the doctor, that is, a veterinarian, to treat the pig's fart and boil medicine, as long as it can cure its disease, it can cost as much as it wants.
But the fox shook his head, saying that he didn't know where to go to the veterinarian, and Hongxia'er herself didn't know.
Suddenly, Hongxia'er thought of the primitive tribal village where the red-haired father had been, and there might be a veterinarian there.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly ran back to her cave to ask the red-haired father.
However, when the red-haired father heard that he wanted him to go to the veterinarian, he also looked ignorant, and said that he had never heard of any veterinarians in the deep mountains and old forests.
However, he said that whenever he was sick, he would go to the mountains to collect medicine to heal himself.
When Hongxia'er heard it, come on, isn't this reluctant to seek the near and far?
The person in front of him is a ready-made "barefoot doctor", so he simply asks him to go to the pig fart to see a doctor.
In this way, after a while, the red-haired father came to the bed where the pig farted, touched the pig's pulse and touched his forehead, and immediately knew what disease it had.
Soon, he went up the mountain to fart the pig to collect medicine, and when he returned, he boiled medicine and dressing it until it stabilized.
Next, the red-haired father instructed a female fox attendant to regularly and quantitatively foil the pig's farts and apply the medicine.
It seems that the red-haired daddy is still an all-rounder, and he is definitely a talent in the savage pile.
Within a few days, torrential rains and flash floods broke out.
Fortunately, the Hongxia'er tribe lived on higher ground, and because of the two plagues (chicken fever and swine fever), rabbits, sheep and cattle were moved to higher places in time, thus avoiding the flood.
With the end of summer and the advent of autumn, Hongxia'er began to think about a new direction of development.
Between the spring and summer, within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles, many wild dogs and foxes came to her one after another, especially after the last capture of nearly 200 birds, and there was an endless stream of them coming to her.
Now Hongxia'er's team has more than 1,200 fox friends and dog friends, and it seems that there is a trend of continuous increase.
