Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Turtle

"You're ......"

Wu looked at Shao Xuan, and stopped talking, but he really didn't know what to say. He hadn't received a living creature for years.

"For you!"

Shao Xuan put the turtle in the open space next to it, thought about it, put it belly up, put it upside down, and every time the turtle was about to turn over, he dialed it back with his hand.

"Send it over, and by the way, when can I start learning herbal medicine from you?" Shao Xuan said.

Wu's eyes moved back from the turtle that was busy turning over, thought for a moment, and said, "You will go up the mountain in ten days." During this time, he still had some things to deal with, and several scrolls to paint, so he couldn't spare time at all.

"Okay, then I'll come back to you in ten days. Seeing that Wu still had a lot of empty animal skins to be painted, Shao Xuan knew that Wu still had a lot to do, so he didn't say more, and left after a bow. As for the turtle, there are people watching it, and it can't hurt anyone.

After Shao Xuan left, Wu Jing quietly looked at the turtle that turned over in the open space next to him.

The turtle that was originally murderous was not as aggressive as it was in Shao Xuan's house, but it just opened its hooked mouth slightly, looked at Wu, and did not come forward to bite.

After staring at the turtle for a while, Wu called the people who were guarding outside in and asked him to change the turtle on the ground.

When Shao Xuan went home, Lao Ke was waiting at the door, looking very nervous. The people of the tribe are very concerned about Wu, and Lao Ke also wants to know if Wu will be satisfied when he receives the donated items.

"How is it?Wu Xi or not?" Before Shao Xuan could enter the door, Lao Ke hurriedly asked. The hand holding the crutches was too hard, the cyan meridians were obviously protruding, and the crutches were almost broken.

Shao Xuan recalled Wu's expression at that time and said, "I should be satisfied, Wu asked me to go up the mountain in ten days." ”

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Lao Kechang breathed a sigh of relief, since Wu had already sent a message for Shao Xuan to go to the mountain, it meant that there was nothing dissatisfied.

In fact, Shao Xuan felt that Lao Ke's worries were unnecessary, after more contact with Wu, even if there were not many conversations, Shao Xuan could also detect that Wu was not an inflexible old antique, and he would not change his attitude towards people because he liked or disliked the gifts offered.

"Since you will go up the mountain in ten days, before that, you can go to the people of the hunting team to learn about the medicinal plants first, and then you can satisfy the witch. Lao Ke wanted to find some former comrades-in-arms, but many of the people he knew who knew more about medicinal plants were in another hunting team, and they had already gone out, and when the hunting team came back, Shao Xuan would have already gone up the mountain.

Generally speaking, in a year, the beasts and fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, the activity is in the shape of a wave, reaching the peak of the peak during the double full moon period, after the full moon period, the activities of the beasts in the mountains and forests will gradually begin to show a decreasing trend, by the end of the year, there are already some prey hidden to prepare for hibernation, and in order to ensure that there is enough food in winter, the hunting team will go out to hunt for a longer time than before and after the full moon.

Therefore, even if it is another twenty days, the hunting team may not come back immediately, and after Shao Xuan goes up the mountain, he will probably have to wait another three or four days before he will return, and if he encounters other troubles, it may take even longer.

"In terms of herbs, I can't help you. "Some of the knowledge of medicinal herbs that he mastered back then, Lao Ke can't remember it clearly, I'm afraid that the wrong teaching will make Shao Xuan lose face in front of Wu, that's Wu!

However, Shao Xuan didn't have the same nervousness and anxiety as Lao Ke at all, what should he do, polishing stone tools, taking Caesar and Chirp to the training ground to train, practicing the newly learned trap lasso, etc.

During this season, many trees on the small hill of the training site bear fruit, and many people come to pick it, and many of the fruits are ripe for a short time, and the day before it looks like a green fruit the size of a peanut, and when you look at it again the next day, it has become the size of an apple, and the color will change, if you don't pick it at this time, the fruit will rot in another day.

Therefore, there are many people who go to the training site every day to pick fruits, but most of them are people from the foot of the mountain, after all, their food reserves are relatively small, and it is always good to save more food.

When it finally came to the day when he went up the mountain again, before Shao Xuan set off, Lao Ke told him again and again to study hard, don't make Wu angry, and follow Wu to learn, what a great honor it is, and he must not be sloppy!

No matter what he thought in his heart, Shao Xuan still nodded seriously, "Don't worry!"

Lao Ke: "......"

I was relieved, but now when I hear this, my heart is high again, how do I think about it, how worried, looking at Shao Xuan's back on the mountain, Lao Ke stood there worried.

Shao Xuan didn't take Caesar up the mountain, but he kept following until the top of the mountain.

Coming to the stone house where Wu was looking for someone to talk to, Shao Xuan saw that the two soldiers in charge of guarding were staring at the sky.

The two warriors naturally knew the eagle hovering in the sky at this moment, after all, it had been brought to Wu when he was very young, and it had been blessed by Wu, and no one dared to throw and shoot it.

Shao Xuan gestured to the sky, chirped, and flew back down the mountain.

It wasn't the first time that those two warriors had seen Shao Xuan do this, but every time they watched it, they couldn't help but be surprised and envious, they had never thought that a bird with great attack power in the mountains and forests could be so obedient. Because of this, their attitude towards Shao Xuan is much better than that of ordinary people living under the mountain, and every time they see Shao Xuan coming, they can still show a little smile on their faces.

Except for the first few times, now Shao Xuan doesn't have to show his badge when he comes here, he walks directly into the house, and no one will stop him.

Wu was still sorting out the animal skin scroll, Shao Xuan only glanced at it hurriedly, he couldn't understand it, it seemed to be a painting, but the painting was too abstract, much more brief than the paintings on the animal skin scroll in other people's hands, as well as the murals in the cave before, it seemed to be just a symbol, each was only one or two strokes, but each stroke, Wu drew very slowly, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to complete the content of a stroke.

Shao Xuan didn't bother, and sat aside after arriving.

After about five minutes, Wu put down his pen, took a long breath, and looked at Shao Xuan with a faint smile: "I have already told Gui Ze, you go directly to the medicine house, she will tell you what to do." ”

Who is Gui Ze, Shao Xuan doesn't know, probably a character like Wu's apprentice, looking at Wu's current appearance, he can't leave, the animal skin scroll is only a third of the painting, and it's not good to stop halfway, Shao Xuan understands, and knows that Wu can't leave now.

"Okay, then I'll go first. Shao Xuan said.

The medicine house is the place where the witch uses to distribute the herbs, and among the many houses near the top of the mountain, the four houses are the most high, namely the stone house where the witch summons people, the stone house where the leader summons people, the stone house that serves as the general meeting place of the tribe's high-level people, and the medicine house.

These four houses are located in four directions, and if the two stone houses opposite each other are connected, they will form a staggered "ten" character.

It is said that these four houses are connected to the fire pond, and they can be used as conservatories in winter. As for how to connect, that's the power of witch and tinder.

On weekdays, except for those who are sick and Yan zhòng, as well as the wounded sent by the hunting team, no one else is allowed to approach the medicine, and Shao Xuan only knows the specific location of the medicine house, but he has never entered it.

There were also people guarding in front of the medicine house, and after Shao Xuan handed out the badge, the man let him in, obviously Wu had already said hello.

You can smell the medicine from afar, and when you get closer, the smell gets even worse.

Lifting the animal skin curtain of the medicine house, Shao Xuan walked in.

What caught my eye was a large square stone table placed there, and at this time, a little girl who did not look big was busy at the square table.

The sleeves of her fur coat were just above her elbows, and the leather trousers under her were not up to her ankles, and she was walking barefoot on uneven but carefully beaten dirt, along the stone table, handling the herbs that were placed all over the stone table.

Behind her, a turtle that Shao Xuan was very familiar with, followed slowly, she took a step, and the turtle climbed a little with her
