Chapter 51: Five Spirit Fat

September 15 was another day that could not be walked.

Ji Tong had a high fever in the middle of the night, his wound was ulcerated and swollen, and he couldn't move. The errand officer was seriously wounded several times, and the situation was not much better than his.

The level of the entourage is limited, and the problem has not been solved after being busy all night.

Can't delay like this any longer, the sixth assigned a few errands to take a long detour back to Qingyun County, and invite the experienced Lang Zhong to come for treatment. It took half a day to go back and forth, and the team was forced to stop.

As soon as Six Fingers announced the order, Du Ruoli glanced at her friends and asked them to follow her.

Last night, this morning, she heard a bird's call.

This bird is called the Chill Horn Bird.

When I was in elementary school, I learned a text about the cold horn bird, "Dororo, Dororo, the cold wind freezes me to death, and I will build a nest tomorrow" made her remember it deeply, and she went to check it when she grew up.

It was found that the cold trumpet bird was not a bird, but a flying squirrel. Check out its unique call. What's more, it was found that the feces it produced, after drying, it is a valuable medicinal material, the name is Wuling Fat, which is used to invigorate blood and relieve pain.

Du Ruozhen, Zhou Daya, Du Ruoying knew that something good was coming, so she hurriedly followed. Du Ruoqiu stayed to take care of the two little babies as usual.

The call of the trumpeter bird came from the other side of the cave, the narrow entrance near the cliff face.

Du Ruoli and her friends walked along the cave towards the inside, and there were more and more stones inside, which became narrower and narrower, allowing only one person to crawl through.

She stopped and said, "If you find it difficult to breathe, panic and shortness of breath, stop immediately." Whoever is a little thicker and can't climb over, stop quickly, don't get stuck in it and can't pull it out. ”

Du Ruozhen said: "You are not as flexible as me, nor as fine as me." Why don't you wait here, I'll go in alone and see the manure brought out and sold for an equal share. ”

Du Ruoli didn't agree: "I'm going to go in to confirm if it's true, they should also want to go in to see the situation, let's go together." ”

They are a collective, they can't let one person take risks, everyone takes care of them.

Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying said in unison: "We also have to go." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Du Ruozhen continued to climb forward, and Du Ruoli, Du Ruoying and Zhou Daya followed in turn.

After walking a distance, Du Ruoli suddenly became afraid: "What if you encounter a hibernating animal such as a snake?" Oops, I'm most afraid of snakes, it's cold, and just looking at it makes my spine chill. If it really happens, I'm afraid I'll faint to death. ”

Du Ruozhen laughed in front: "Say you're stupid, you're smart." Say you're smart, but you're too lazy to think about things. Which animal would choose to hibernate with the cold horn bird, screaming all day and night, noisy to death, why sleeping? ”

She made so much sense that Du Ruoli was speechless. Tighten the dagger in your hand, straighten the crossbow on your wrist, and move forward again.

As Du Ruozhen said, there are really no large and medium-sized animals hidden in the cave. In addition to small animals such as squirrels, mice, lizards, etc., the biggest one is probably the cold trumpet bird.

The cold trumpet, with a pair of cute big eyes, saw the two-legged beast coming, and was so startled that it flapped its wings violently and rose to the sky, and in the blink of an eye, there was not a single one left.

But the color, the flying film on the body, and the flying posture are exactly the same as in the video, Du Ruoli confirmed that this is the cold bird.

Next, it's time to pick up, ahh

The bird does not defecate in the open and has a special toilet. Just find the toilet.

The entrance to the cave is slightly wider, allowing room for two people. Du Ruoli climbed to the front, poked her head out side by side with Du Ruozhen, and saw that the small hole next door was the toilet of the cold bird.

The toilet is on Du Ruoli's side, and the smell is sky-high, and the smoke makes people's heads hurt.

She didn't dislike it, put on gloves, put them into the cloth bag one by one, and did psychological construction while loading: this is not poop, this is a medicinal herb, a panacea for blood circulation and pain relief; It's not dung, it's money, money that can buy anything.

Vomit, it still stinks, quickly picked up a bag, Du Ruoli quickly crawled away, and Du Ruozhen came to pick it up.

Du Ruozhen didn't have anything, and even sniffed it vigorously, and made a speech: "Medicinal materials, of course it's weird." It's not strange that it's not worth much, let's be worth it! ”

Du Ruoli: "......"

Du Ruoying and Zhou Daya also stepped forward to collect a bag and cleaned the toilet before they were willing to go back.

When I went back, it was still Du Ruozhen who took the lead, Zhou Daya pressed the formation at the back, and Du Ruoli and Du Ruoying walked in the middle. With a cloth bag tied to his back, he crawled with difficulty.

Santang's grandmother, Wu Yueniang, Shen Sanzhi, and Du Ruozhen's mother-in-law Wang Guihua guarded the halfway, and one person answered the other.

Grandmother Santang took Du Ruoli's cloth bag, let her lean on her shoulder, and walked with her in her arms, counting as she went: "Such a hard thing, why don't you ask your uncles, uncles, brothers and nephews to do it?" When they eat a lot and have thick skins, they should do heavy work. Our girl's family, it's okay to follow and watch the excitement, don't really get on it. In case it hurts, it hurts, and it's still yourself who suffers. ”

Wang Guihua helped her mother-in-law: "That's right, next time you encounter an unknown situation, let the man go first." When you're sure there's no danger, it's never too late to move forward. ”

said that he slapped Du Ruozhen from behind: "They don't know, don't you know?" How did my mother usually teach you, and forgot behind your ears? ”

Du Ruozhen cried with a sad face and didn't dare to reply.

Du Ruoli couldn't help but laugh and secretly looked at Shen Sanzhi and Wu Yueniang, one of these two is a mother-in-law, and the other has no man in the family, what kind of expression will it be?

Well, there is no expression, probably I usually listen to too much of this family's remarks, and I have become numb.

Du Ruoli doesn't agree with these views very much, and doesn't think that everything should be hidden behind men. But I appreciate the family's protective attitude towards women, including daughters, granddaughters, and daughters-in-law who marry in.

This kind of family style quality, even in modern times thousands of years later, is rare. It can be seen that the family's consciousness is ahead of its time.

Du Ruoli respected her grandmother and didn't want to refute her words, so she leaned on her shoulder and said, "What you said is that I will know how to do it next time." ”

The old man smiled and touched her head: "Good, this is about the same." ”

When the five spirit greases come back, they will have nothing to do. The elders took it, asked how to deal with it, spread it on a dustpan by the fire, and slowly dried it over low heat.

The dustpan is placed at the leeward outlet, away from the entrance of the cave, to ensure that the smell of the flush does not spread to the cave.

Du Ruozhen's grandfather, the third grandfather, specially guarded the dustpan and turned the medicinal herbs at any time, so as not to roast or dry out.

An hour later, they harvested a whole bag of dried five spirit fat, ten catties.

When Du Ruoli bought medicine in the pharmacy before, she paid attention to the price of Wuling Fat, one pound is 400 Wen, and this bag is 4 taels of silver, which is worth a lot.
