Chapter Seventy-Four: Finally Arrived
Leaving behind the skinned wolf corpse, the tribe walked in the direction pointed out by Liang Jian, most of the seriously injured people were injured in the arm, and only one person was bitten in the thigh, and Ah Yan walked forward on his back.
Thinking of the dozens of bloody wolves, Qin Yue felt a pity, if it weren't for the wolf meat being too unpalatable, and the smell of blood lingering here, she really wanted to take them all away.
Facing the rising sun, they were exhausted, so they had not gone far before they found a place to sit cross-legged and rest.
There happens to be a shallow water Tan nearby, surrounded by aquatic plants, if you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore, the water is clear and clean, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
Qin Yue was thirsty, so he hurriedly took a sip and filled the kettle again.
Although the people in the tribe were all injured, they especially remembered the tragic battle last night, especially the killing of dozens of steppe wolves in one fell swoop, they seemed very excited, and whispered that they had killed a few.
"There's water here, and you come with a wooden tube to get water to drink. Qin Yue shouted at them, interrupting their conversation.
Dashan took the lead in getting up, took the wooden tubes of several people nearby to fetch water, and smiled at Qin Yue, "The wooden tubes given to us by the witch doctor are really useful, when we were hunting in the past, we couldn't find a place with water, and sometimes we couldn't drink a sip of water all day." With this, you can get water at any time and take a sip when you are thirsty. ”
Among the tribesmen, Ah Liang and Qin Yue are the most familiar, the tree always pesters Ah Liang, and he lives in the same house with Dashan, so Dashan is also very familiar with her. Others can't say that they are not familiar, but they always have more awe and less intimacy with her.
Qin Yue also smiled, "We have something more convenient to drink water than this." Then he saw the terrible wounds on his arms and told him, "Don't touch the water with the wounds." ”
Liang Jian picked up hay, spread it on the ground, let several seriously injured people lie on it, and sorted out the food left over from last night, the temperature was not high at night, and the prey that had been put overnight had no peculiar smell.
Ah Yan sat cross-legged in the middle and rubbed the flint, but the fire did not rise in the middle of the sound, but he still persevered.
Qin Yue couldn't see it, he walked over and carefully taught him how to use it, and it took him several times to learn, the primitive people here would only drill wood to make fire, and an hour would often pass when the sparks were drilled.
The sparks from the flint and steel flashed by, flew to the fine dead leaves, and ignited instantly, and the fire was warm and bright.
Ah Yan lay on the ground curiously, looked at it with a long mouth, looked a little incredulous, excitedly beckoned his companions to come and see, and proudly pointed to the fire, showing off the fire he raised.
I didn't rejoice for long, and after burning the flammable dead leaves, the fire was extinguished.
The corners of Ah Yan's mouth that cracked and laughed instantly collapsed, and he laughed at him happily around his companions, making him a little annoyed and angry.
Qin Yue held his stomach and smiled, "If you ignite the dead leaves, you have to add firewood, just burn the leaves, and the fire will be extinguished soon." Go pick up some more leaves and make a new fire. ”
Above the fire was a barbecue, the sound of hot oil dripping and burning, and a pot of boiling herbs burning next to it, the medicinal aroma was rich and bitter, not a good smell.
Although the tribesmen were wounded, the smile on their faces did not diminish, and after a battle last night, they finally won a great victory, which made their hearts boil with blood and fearless about the road ahead.
This is a good thing, not only do you have a lot of wolf skins as trophies, but you also have more experience when you encounter wild beast attacks in the future.
Only the man who was injured in the thigh was half-lying on the hay, his expression could not hide his loss, and he could not integrate into the lively discussion of the few people around him.
Liang Jian distributed the barbecue to everyone, and when he was distributed, it was rare to comfort him, "Rest here for a day, and set off again tomorrow, your leg will be fine, and our witch doctor will cure you." ”
After speaking, her eyes signaled to Qin Yue, and she hurriedly said: "Your legs only hurt the muscles, not the bones, and you can still run and jump in the future." ”
His eyes lit up, his expression was no longer gloomy, and he was a little incredulous, "My leg is really okay? There was a person in the tribe who was injured as badly as me before, and he couldn't walk behind his leg." Can the witch doctor really cure me?"
Qin Yue's eyes crooked, and he affirmed: "Of course, those who are more seriously injured than you can also be cured." I'm a witch doctor, so naturally I won't lie to you. ”
As he spoke, he brought him the boiled herbs and let him drink them, and carefully examined the injuries of several other people to deal with the deterioration in time.
It has to be said that primitive people have a very strong recovery ability, probably because they use few symptomatic herbs, and once they are used, most of the injuries are healed quickly.
The next morning, when the sky was gray, they packed up their things and set off on their trek again.
Wounded, they walked slower than before, and walked for several days, until they finally stepped into a prairie with abundant water and grass.
At the far end of the distance, there are faint mountains, not far from a lake, and large and small waterholes and shallow streams scattered all over the grassland.
"The horses are there. Qin Yue's face glowed red, and he excitedly pointed to the herd of horses drinking water by the lake.
"That's a wild horse?" Dashan looked at it and marveled, he didn't expect that there were so many animals here, and if he stayed here to hunt, he probably wouldn't be able to eat all the meat for a while.
Liang Jian stared at the leisurely wild horses over there, and ordered everyone, "Wild horses are captured alive, don't be killed, take out all the trapping nets." ”
Wild horses should not be approached easily, otherwise they will disturb the horses and cause a riot, the horses will gallop, and when everyone is panicking, one will be trampled to death by the horses.
Liang Jian was extremely cautious, letting the injured people rest in place, he took Ah Yanfu to lower his body, carefully approached the horses, so as not to cause a commotion in the horses, and observed from a distance.
There are several foals in the herd, following the mare affectionately, rubbing the marre's belly and sucking **, Liang Jane's target is these foals.
Wild horses are difficult to tame, and foals have natural alertness, but after all, they have not experienced the growth of nature, lack of external defense, and are bred in captivity for a period of time, and the chances of taming are much greater than that of irritable adult horses.
The sparkling water swayed with dazzling waves, wild horses clattered their legs, flicked their tails, and their slender necks hung low on the water, dangling in circles of water.
This seems to be a natural habitat for wild horses, and the horses show no vigilance against the outside world, Liang Jian and Ah Yan observe for a while, then continue to approach, stopping a few meters away.
One of the horses finished drinking water and looked around frequently.
They lay on their stomachs in the grass, not daring to move.
Qin Yue watched nervously, for fear that they would alarm the wild horse, and soon the wild horse turned back and continued to drink.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Dashan staring intently at the horses in the distance, she collected her emotions and said to him: "This is a wild horse, it runs very fast, no matter how fast it is, it can't compare to the four-legged one, and when we catch the wild horse, we can ride the horse, and it will be very close to wherever you want to go in the future, and you don't have to be so tired of walking." ”
Dashan was stunned for a moment, "Can you still ride a horse? Can this beast let us ride?" I thought the leader brought us here to catch us and fatten them before eating. ”
Qin Yue broke out in a cold sweat, he had come all the way here just to eat, he had underestimated their wise and martial leader.
But it's also to blame Liang Jian for not making it clear to them.
She turned to the tribesmen and told them Liang Jian's intentions again, telling them the benefits of riding a horse, and they were excited to hear the wild horses being captured.
