Chapter 82: Sini (II)

When I came to the house, I saw a little boy of five or six years old lying on the hide, breathing rapidly, and his little face was swollen and red. Tie Ta didn't need to touch his forehead to know that the child was having a high fever, and after checking the pulse, he knew it in his heart, and comforted: "Don't worry, I have a way to cure him, now I will let Lord Zheng go back to get the medicine." ”

Cini was overjoyed, grabbed the tower's hand and said, "If you can cure Cisse's illness, then you are a great benefactor of our Maori people." ”

"If you can cure it, you are a great benefactor, and if you can't cure it, you will find me in trouble, doesn't that mean? Alas! This guy is upright when he speaks, but fortunately he is sure, otherwise it will be self-defeating. Tie Ta muttered in his heart, and hurriedly went out to find Zheng He, "That child has pneumonia, this is an infectious disease." You go back and help me prepare some medicinal herbs first, and I'll let Sini fetch them. Then he said the names of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, all of which are medicines that clear away heat and detoxify, promote lung and dispel dampness.

Zheng He returned to the treasure ship with the sailors and asked Ding Erniu to take the medicinal herbs and put them on the beach, and Xini immediately sent someone to retrieve them.

The tower took a small piece of animal skin, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and put it on Cisse's forehead.

"Cisse's illness is caused by eating raw meat, because raw meat contains germs, and if you eat it directly without high temperature sterilization, the germs will enter the human body, making people sick or even dead." Eiffel Tower said.

"Maori children grow up eating raw meat, it's our tradition, and if you don't eat it, you'll starve to death." Signey was a little embarrassed, if he had to choose, he would rather die of illness than starvation.

"Of course I understand." Iron Tower nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, people in your tribe often get this disease, right?" ”

"It's not just our Maori, it's all the tribes in Australia, no one has ever lived past the age of fifty, we all regard it as a god of death, because no one can survive this disease." ”

The tower sighed with emotion, how sad it is to have no culture! In fact, there is a great probability that this disease can be avoided, high-temperature disinfection is one of the most effective methods, of course, the top priority now is to cure the disease, and the rest will have the opportunity to explain it to this buddy in the future! He found a piece of dry and thick wood on the ground, plucked a few feathers on top of Cini's head, and said solemnly: "Now you must see clearly every step I have taken, it is a matter of life and death for your tribe. ”

Cini nodded busily, "Okay, I'll remember." ”

The tower rubbed his hands, and the branches in his palms spun rapidly on the wood, and soon a small hole was drilled, and then gradually turned black and green smoke appeared, and a few more turns produced a trace of sparks. With a slight shake of his right hand, the sparks splashed on the soft feathers and burned, and he took a few dead branches and put them on the flames, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, until at last a blazing bonfire was formed.

"This ...... What is this? Cini watched the tower's magical performance.

"This is fire, a sign of human civilization." The tower laughed, "Go get something to hold water." This time, he taught Sini how to drill wood to make fire so carefully and carefully, because he didn't want the regret that happened to Wyvern to happen again.

Sini went back to the house and retrieved a large conch, a shell left over from the Maori meat, which was not an ideal container for boiling medicine, but barely functional.

The tower poured the herbs into the conch, then filled it with water, and then fixed it between two stones, and slowly boiled it underneath, decocting the medicine while sending someone to find some flat stones.

Sini was now obedient to him, and at the sound of the order, more than a hundred people went out to look for stones.

When the medicine was cooked, the tower withdrew the firewood and buried a thick, long piece of wood in the sparkling charcoal ash, explaining, "This is called saving the fire, so that it can be used again in the future." ”

After several physical cooldowns, Cisse's body temperature dropped and his forehead was not so hot. Iron Tower waited for the medicine to cool, held up his head and poured the medicine into his mouth without a drop.

There was a commotion outside, and the Maori returned, with stones of all sizes, and a fawn had been hunted, and they were happily dividing the meat.

"Everyone's back, let's continue eating!" The tower chose a flat and flat stone to clean in the river and then put it between two stones. He brushed the charcoal ash away, the wood had been carbonized and blackened, and there was a spark on the surface, and with a gentle breath, the spark became brighter and brighter, and then sparks burst out. After adding a few large sticks of wood, the fire burned more and more, and in a short time the slate was boiling hot. The iron tower used two wooden arrows to pick up the raw meat and put it on the stone slab one by one, only to hear the sound of "zi", the meat slices were roasted and rolled up, the fat flowed out, and the meat was fragrant.

Sini was shocked, there is still this method for eating meat? Why didn't I think of it before?

The tower flipped the meat slices and began to roast the other side, he glanced at the salivating Sini, couldn't help but feel a little funny, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”

"Think...... I want to eat. Cini wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and smirked.

"Take it and eat it if you want to! What are you waiting for? Tie Ta made a gesture of please, although he was very interested in cooking, but there were few opportunities to cook himself, and it was Cini's luck to be able to eat the food he had cooked.

More than a dozen pieces of meat were neatly placed on the stone slab, golden in color and fragrant, and Cini's big furry hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing which one to choose. Finally, he pinched a piece of meat with a trembling hand and put it in his mouth, the fragrance in his nose tube was even stronger, the alluring taste was like a pair of gentle little hands caressing every taste bud on his tongue, although this taste had never been tasted before, but it was so fascinating, it was simply amazing!

"Such a delicious delicacy must be chewed and swallowed slowly, what if you eat too quickly, what if you bite off your tongue?" Sini closed her eyes and chewed slowly, like a Sven little girl.

The Maori looked at the leader's fascinated expression with envy, and the sound of "coo-dong" and "goo-dong" swallowing saliva could be heard from time to time in the crowd.

"Now you go and build a stove like this, and move the fire over and you can roast meat like I did." The tower said loudly, "You must remember that everything you eat, including water, will be heated by fire in the future, you know?" ”

The Maori replied in unison: "Got it!" With a cheer, he went to build the stove.

The tower brought a bundle of branches, lit it, and stuffed one under each stove. Although the Maori were uneducated, they had a strong skill in surviving in the wild, and every fire burned vigorously, and soon the smell of meat filled the entire tribe, as if they were having an open-air barbecue.

After eating and drinking, the tower asked, "Cini, is there a cave nearby?" ”

"Are you going to sleep? How do you live in a cave? I'll vacate my house for you to live in. Signey said generously.

"Of course it's okay to sleep, but I have other uses. ”

With Cini leading the way, the two walked up the hillside, and within a few steps came to a large cave, presumably where the Maori lived during heavy rains.

Tie Ta put the torch in his hand on the ground, added a few more large sticks of wood, and advised: "This fire must be taken care of, and when it is not used, it will be kept as I taught you, with the fire you will be able to eat cooked food every day, and you will not get sick easily, so that your tribe will become stronger." ”

Sini said confidently: "Yes, we will definitely become the most powerful tribe in Australia, and then build a strong country like Huaxia." In his mind, it is a great honor to follow the footsteps of Huaxia.

The tower remained with the Maori tribe that night, and he fed Cisse two more pills during the night. Because it was an early stage of pneumonia and was treated in time, the little one woke up the next morning, drank some water and ate a few pieces of barbecue, and the whole person was refreshed.

The worry on Cini's face finally dissipated, and he said sincerely: "King Tower, thank you very much, this is a small gift from me, please accept it." As he spoke, he opened the leather pouch in his hand.

The tower probe saw that it was full of shiny and dazzling stones, and hurriedly excused himself and said: "I understand your kindness, we in Huaxia never ask for anything in return for helping friends, you better take it back!" ”

Sini was angry, "We Maori never take back the gifts we give, don't you look down on these stones?" If you don't like it, I'll give you this chain of boar teeth. He stretched out his hand and prepared to take off the chain on his chest.

The necklace of the boar's tooth is a symbol of his bravery, and the tower did not dare to win the love, so he had to smile and say: "It is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, then I will accept it." Cini, these stones are beautiful, I like them very much, where did you pick them up? ”

"This is still from my grandfather's generation, I heard that it was found in a deep cave, and there were a lot of them! We all used it to hunt birds, one by one, and after so many years there was only so little left, although it was not very valuable, but it was the most beautiful thing in our tribe. ”

"I took these stones, so what will you use next time you hunt birds?" Tie Ta was very worried about him.

"With our skills, even if we take a lump of dirt, we can knock the bird down." Signi proudly said, "Let's go hunting today!" There are a lot of kangaroos here, and hitting one is enough for us to have a full meal. But they are also dangerous, jumping high and far away, not to mention, and punching! ”

"Good! Lord Zheng likes to get to know new species the most, and he writes a diary of the anecdotes of the voyage, and I will call him now. ”

"Alright, I'll wait for you here."

The tower returned to the treasure ship with the animal skin bag, but I didn't expect it to be quite heavy.

"That kid is really blessed and fateful, and he actually met you, the miracle doctor." Zheng He was drinking tea alone, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly re-brewed a pot.

"Maybe it's fate! When I came back, Sini gave me a bag of bird-hunting stones, and I touched it very hard! The tower casually poured the contents of the bag onto the table.

Looking at these dazzling stones, Zheng He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and only said after a while: "You are testing me again, right?" Don't you really know what this is? ”

"I really don't know." The tower tells the truth.

Zheng He laughed, so happy that even tears splashed from the corners of his eyes, "I can't imagine that the omnipotent King of the Iron Tower also has a time when he doesn't know the goods, and there are clouds in the Book of Poetry, 'The stones of other mountains can attack jade', these stones are actually ......" He paused mysteriously.

"Could it be that this is a diamond?" The tower was really shocked this time, and he still knew something about the preciousness of diamonds.

"Not bad! This is diamond, and it still can't bother you if you can't think of it. I once saw some merchants in the country of Guri who were engaged in the diamond trade, and a diamond was worth a thousand gold, and diamonds were processed from diamonds. There are hundreds of diamonds in this bag, and the value of processing is immeasurable! Signi used it to fight birds, which was a terrible thing. Zheng He felt a pity.

"Since it's so valuable, then hand it over to the treasury." The tower is still the same sentence.

"Your harvest has brought a lot of income to the country! The emperor canonized you as the king of the tower, which is really too wise. ”

The tower was a little embarrassed by Zheng He's praise, and quickly changed the topic, "Sini invited us to go hunting together, saying that there are a lot of kangaroos here, so you can also open your eyes." ”

"Good! Let's go together. As the saying goes, it's not rude to come and go, and we should give him some gifts in return for receiving so many diamonds from Cini. Zheng He instructed Ding Erniu to go to the armory and get ten steel knives, twenty spears, thirty hard bows, two hundred sharp arrows, and some pots and pans and other daily utensils, and came to the Maori tribe in large bags and small bags.

Seeing so many gifts, Sini was very happy, he was envious after seeing the equipment of the Chinese sailors for the first time, the sharp arrow that shot the wild boar was collected by him as a treasure, and now he has so many good weapons at once, who else is the opponent of the Maori people in the continent of Australia in the future! As for those living utensils, they became the women's favorites, and they couldn't put it down one by one, and happily danced their jungle dance.

With tears in his eyes, he was so moved that he couldn't speak, but he was saying the same thing repeatedly in his heart: "Great Huaxia, you are so good to us." ”
