Chapter 40: Snow Jade's Request

Su Xiangxiang carefully observed the legs of the curtain top.

It was found that the legs were covered with various scars, especially at the Achilles tendon, where there were two frighteningly deep scars.

The outside of one of the calves has also been cut wide.

But the other, relatively intact calf can still make a slight movement.

Su Xiangxiang judged from this that the hamstring should have been broken in the process of being beaten, but the ligaments of the calf were still partially preserved.

After the injury, he felt that he could not rotate his ankles and knees normally, so he thought that his legs were crippled and he no longer walked.

Su Xiangxiang is not a doctor, so she can't help the curtain tip get the broken ligament back, but she can make a prosthetic leg to assist walking, and fix two ankles and one knee.

In this way, with the help of the outside lifting of the leg and the retained ligaments, you may still be able to walk again.

Su Xiangxiang asked someone to bring a few straight pieces of wood, briefly recorded the length of the calf and thigh at the tip of the curtain, and thought about how to make a strong and well-fitting prosthesis.

Xiu Bai and Mu Shao watched her every move curiously, and anticipation faintly rose in their hearts.

The lively banquet ended with this farce, the five cauldrons were eaten clean, the well-fed tribesmen left satisfied, the remaining orcs consciously cleaned up the dishes, and the scene was soon restored to a snow-white color, as if the excitement of the night had never existed.

Su Xiangxiang dragged her tired steps, was half-pulled and half-walked by Xiubai, and returned to the cave.

She yawned lazily and was about to go into the cave to rest, when she noticed a small figure standing at the dark entrance of the cave.

The figure took a few steps forward and walked hesitantly towards Su Xiangxiang.

Xiu Bai's face sank, he held Su Xiangxiang's shoulder, and took her into his arms.

When the figure got closer, Su Xiangxiang saw clearly that the person who came was actually Xue Yu.

Xue Yu's long hair was messy, and her clothes still had traces of being pulled, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

She stood still in front of Su Xiangxiang, her eyes evasive, and she hesitated for a long time before she asked awkwardly, "You...... Is it to be able to help the curtain stand up again? ”

Su Xiangxiang was stunned.

Xue Yu pulled down her face in the middle of the night to find her, in order to help the curtain to intercede?

Compared with the love species, Su Xiangxiang felt that the unjust species was more suitable to describe people like Xueyu......

But......

She hadn't forgotten Xue Yu's revenge just now.

Su Xiangxiang shook her head and said coldly, "No." ”

After speaking, she passed by Xue Yu, and Xiu Bai followed Su Xiangxiang over, forcing Xue Yu to stumble half a step to the side.

Entering the warm cave, Xiu Bai made the bed for Su Xiangxiang, and Su Xiangxiang fetched some water, ready to wash and sleep, and completely hung the snow jade at the cold door.

"As long as you can save the curtain, let me do anything!" In the sound of wind and snow at the entrance of the cave, there was a helpless shout from Xue Yu.

The third-order coercion of Xiubai was blocking the door, and Xue Yu was shivering from the cold outside, but she didn't dare to approach rashly.

Xue Yu stared at Su Xiangxiang's leisurely figure in the cave unwillingly, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind, "Even if you let me leave the snow mountain forever!" ”

Su Xiangxiang made a move, and wanted to continue washing, but was in a mood by Xue Yu's words.

"Is Makuko really worth it for you to do this?" She didn't understand from the bottom of her heart.

Xue Yu was silent, bowed her head in the wind and snow, her silver-white hair fluttering in the wind, seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly spoke, "If it weren't for protecting me, he wouldn't have become like that." "The voice trembled and stoic,

In order to win the slightest hope for the curtain top, she did not hesitate to tear off her deepest scar in front of Su Xiangxiang.

Su Xiangxiang was stunned.

She had indeed heard that before the White Wolf brothers turned against each other, Makuro was the strongest orc in the tribe besides Xiubai.

At that time, in the civil strife, even the fledgling newcomers like Qiluo were not threatened with their lives, and veterans like Mu Shao were beaten and disabled.

The only possibility is that he voluntarily gave up the possibility of escape.

Su Xiangxiang immediately made up a tragic love drama in her brain.

Xue Yu and Mu Shao love each other across races, but Mu Shao lost his legs in a civil strife in order to protect Xue Yu, and since then he has been in a trance, and he doesn't want Xue Yu to stay with a waste person, so he wants to get rid of Xue Yu.

But I don't want Xue Yu to stick to my original intention, no matter what the situation is, I must be by his side.

Su Xiangxiang opened her mouth slightly, wanting to comfort something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The obsession between these two people is too deep, and if the problem is not fundamentally solved, no amount of consolation will help.

"I'll do my best, you go back."

Su Xiangxiang is not a cook or a doctor, at most she can only give Xue Yu such a promise.

But even if there was only this sentence, Xue Yu's chest rose and fell when she heard it, and she was so excited that she almost cried, thanked her again and again, didn't dare to bother anymore, and left quietly.

Early the next morning, as soon as Su Xiangxiang opened her eyes, she saw many clansmen gathering not far from the entrance of the cave, and the curtain was also among them.

She walked to the entrance of the cave blankly and looked at the scene that was ready to go.

Xiu Bai got up early, cooked breakfast, got up and handed Su Xiangxiang a bowl of hot porridge.

"Come on, let's go down the mountain for a few days from today."

Su Xiangxiang was pleasantly surprised, a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What is a good day today?" How do you have the leisure to take me down the mountain? ”

Recently, Li Xiubai has been busy leading the tribe to hunt around, stocking up for food for the winter two months later, and Su Xiangxiang's requests to go out are rarely granted.

Xiu Bai looked at Su Xiangxiang's surprised expression and smiled faintly, "Didn't you want to go down the mountain for a long time?" What, don't like it? ”

Su Xiangxiang saw Xiu Bai's posture of wanting to regret it, and hurriedly changed her words, "I like it!" I have a lot of things to do down the mountain, so we'd better stay longer! ”

After breakfast, the group set off in a grand manner, and the two main trunks of the wolf clan, Xiubai and Mushao, all went down the mountain with Su Xiangxiang.

And Qiluo stayed on the mountain with half of his manpower, responsible for the daily hunting.

Xiubai took Su Xiangxiang and his tribesmen down the mountain for three to five kilometers, and set up camp on a flat plateau in the upper reaches of the river.

Most of the accompanying men are strong male white wolves, who turn into beasts when resting, with the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bedding, without much decoration.

Su Xiangxiang's fine skin and tender flesh couldn't stand mosquito bites, so Xiubai made a simple small tent for her with branches and animal skins, and when the sun was shining, Su Xiangxiang would rest in it for a while.

After the white wolf clan descended the mountain, they mainly hunted, and the variety of prey in the woods was more abundant than in the snowy mountains.

After catching the prey, due to the hot and humid air in the forest, it is easy to spoil, so the tribesmen will tear the animal meat into strips according to Su Xiangxiang's suggestion, and hang it in a ventilated place to blow it into dried meat for easy preservation.

Su Xiangxiang felt the long-lost warmth in the forest, and suddenly had an idea.

After coming to the beast world, she lacked some spices every time she cooked, especially wine and vinegar, and could only replace them with wild fruits with similar tastes.

There are no modern factories in the beast world, and it is impossible to buy cooking wine and condiments, this time I finally met the opportunity of Xiubai who was willing to let her go down the mountain for a long time, so it was better to be self-sufficient and brew some fruit vinegar and fruit wine.

Su Xiangxiang said that she would do it, and she first carefully observed the surrounding forest for a whole day, and found that there were only two kinds of fruits suitable for winemaking nearby, apples and hawthorns.

A lot of sugar is needed to make fruit wine, and the warm temperate zone where Su Xiangxiang is located usually produces sugar from sugar beet.

So she mobilized most of the white wolf clan through the power of Xiubai, dug out all the beets within a radius of dozens of miles, washed and crushed them into a paste, and extracted the juice in them.

The White Wolf Clan's spontaneous hunting operations were temporarily suspended due to her appeal.

In order to ensure the supply of prey for several days, Su Xiangxiang taught the tribesmen how to set traps, and set up more than a dozen traps around the residence.

The speed of the white wolf beast digging pit was more than three times that of Su Xiangxiang, and it took less than a day to complete Su Xiangxiang's workload of more than ten days.

The remaining manpower was requisitioned by Su Xiangxiang, who collected large stones nearby and scraped out the shape of the jar with sharp claws.

The golden syrup made from the beets is boiled to form coarse sand-like grains, which are also mixed with some fine sand.

Su Xiangxiang asked the people to melt and wash the coarse sugar, and boiled it again several times, and finally got the white sugar with fine particles and few impurities, which was full of five jars knee-high.

The next step is to start the brewing process.

Xiu Bai deliberately picked out a few ingenious white wolves to be Su Xiangxiang's assistants.

Several people washed the hawthorn and apples and cut them into small pieces, stuffed them into wooden barrels one person high, put a lot of white sugar, compacted them, covered them with stones at the top, and sealed them with clay.

The temperature in the forest was high in the afternoon, and Su Xiangxiang was afraid that the fruit wine would deteriorate before fermentation, so he let people dig a big cellar deep underground, and in order to prevent it from collapsing, he also used a few logs to cover the roof of the shed, and stored several large jars of sealed fruit wine in it to wait for fermentation.

At the same time, Su Xiangxiang is also preparing for the brewing of vinegar.

There is less water around the forest, and Su Xiangxiang only finds a few patches of wild wheat around, and there is not enough rice.

With the help of Xiubai, Su Xiangxiang designed and completed a small stone mill to hull the collected wheat and install two jars.

A small part of the wheat is left with seeds, and most of it is ground and soaked in sugar water, and then fried in a pot over low heat until golden brown.

After the sugar water and wheat have cooled, add a small amount of chopped apples, seal them in a jar, and put them in the basement with the brewed wine.

The white wolf clan went out to check the harvest of the trap during the day, and in the afternoon and evening, they helped Su Xiangxiang to hunt and brew without delay.

In addition to capturing nearby prey every day, the trap designed by Su Xiangxiang can occasionally get a few red bone beasts, and the spars are constantly replenished.

She discussed with Xiu Bai, and before the fruit wine sealed the altar, she quietly put a spar into each altar, looking forward to whether the spar and the wine could produce a different effect.

Su Xiangxiang went down the mountain for nearly ten days, and was very busy, needing to lead the tribe to brew during the day, and at night she had to use wood to customize prosthetic limbs for the curtain tips to fix her legs.

Xue Yu changed her previous cold attitude towards Su Xiangxiang, followed Su Xiangxiang diligently before and after the car, and took the initiative to help her take on the dirty work, tiring work, for fear that she would be overworked and would not have time to help the curtain to make prosthetics.

Su Xiangxiang didn't want to delay, and in more than ten days, according to the size of the curtain, she rushed out two wooden leg fixing brackets and two crutches made of animal bones.

At the lower end of the crutches, Su Xiangxiang also deliberately tied a few bone spurs, which were supported on the ground as a tool for support, and when wielded, it was a sharp blade that hurt people.
