Chapter 63: The Empty Valley (1)

The navel is one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, and the most sensitive sensitivity, so Xu Mo first chose the place to exercise his sense of touch, and he used his navel to sense the sensation caused by the gradual departure of water from his body when there is no wind.

But he had only been lying down for a short time, and before he could get into his groove, he suddenly heard a loud roar.

The voice came from the other side of the valley, and it sounded like a human cry, with a deep emotion of horror and fear, a heart-rending roar that could only be uttered before facing a desperate situation, or before dying.

It's just that the voice is low and heavy, extremely loud, and under a roar, it actually shakes the whole valley, as if even the earth shook slightly, and it is definitely not something that people can make, it seems that dozens of hippos or reckless oxen are shouting together in the sky.

Xu Mo's heart sank, and he couldn't help but stop, came out of the pit, and looked in the direction where the voice came from. But the sound rang only once, and then it stopped. Xu Mo stared for a long time, but did not appear again.

Xu Mo thought about it for a while, so he stopped caring about it, returned to the pit, and re-exercised his sense of touch.

Day after day, month after month, and in the blink of an eye, another few months passed. During these months, Xu Mo tasted herbs every day and exercised his sense of touch. The sense of touch has gradually improved, and the control of medicinal properties has reached the point of refinement and subtlety.

The plants in this valley have been completely tasted, and the medicinal properties of each plant are well known to him. He relied on the needs of his injuries and the nature of the herb to use medicine, and he used medicine like a god, and some ordinary external injuries could be healed at hand.

It's just that there are thousands of herbs in the world, and all that is in this valley is only a small part of them. Refusing to stop there, he decided to walk outside the valley in search of other herbs.

The herbs he tasted now included only the parts of the plant. In traditional Chinese medicine, the ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine include not only plants, but also ingredients from animals, ingredients in the soil, ingredients in gold and stone, and even ingredients on people, which are broad and profound, and very complex.

But for a while, he didn't have much energy to get in touch with that much. Besides, it's not a good thing to be ambitious, just one herb, if you want to taste them all, it will be at least a few years or even more than ten years later.

Thinking of the outside of the valley, he unconsciously remembered the desperate roar he had heard that day. The roar was obviously made by just one animal, but it was so loud that it sounded like dozens of hippos or bulls were screaming at the same time, and I didn't know what kind of vicious beast it was.

But fortunately, the voice had not been heard since it rang once that day, and according to Xu Mo's guess, that voice might be the unwilling roar of the beast before it died.

Therefore, Xu Mo didn't care much about that fierce beast. At this time, in retrospect, I was a little curious, wanting to see what that beast was.

As far as he knew, among the existing beasts in this world, there was really nothing that could make such a grand sound, could it be that there were still some barbarian ancient beasts hidden in this mountain?

Thinking of the Savage Ancient Beast, his heart became even more curious, and he guessed that the fierce beast was likely to be dead, so he was not afraid.

He picked up a rattan basket that he had woven in his spare time, used it as a medicine basket, and walked in the direction of the sound of that day in his memory, wanting to find the corpse of the beast and collect herbs by the way.

Now through a wild mango grove, over a lake, and over a hill. He had never been to this other side, but it was a different scene. It was a long, narrow valley with a river running from north to south, dividing the valley in half.

In the valley, there are also many wild fruit trees. Xu Mo walked down the hillside, pulling out herbs he had never seen before and collecting them along the way.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a few subtle moans, and his ear power spirit was also aware of the subtleties at this time, the sound was extremely weak, and the distance between him was nearly a hundred meters, but he still heard it clearly.

He listened carefully, and he could tell that the sound was definitely not made by a person, but the moaning of some animal after it had been injured, and he immediately picked up the medicine basket and walked along to the sound.

When he got closer, he found that the one who made the moaning sound turned out to be a monkey, and after a few careful looks, the monkeys all looked similar, and he couldn't tell if it was the one he had seen in the wild mango forest.

It felt like this monkey was much bigger than the one I had seen at the beginning. But by then, it had been several months, and the little monkey might have grown up.

The monkey was still messily throwing a few fruits beside him, lying on the grass weakly, seeing Xu Mo, he was immediately frightened, and yelled at him a few times, grinning his teeth, indicating a threat, obviously not wanting Xu Mo to get close.

Xu Mo saw the monkey's appearance, couldn't help but smile slightly, and looked at it, the monkey was injured in the back, from Xu Mo's angle, you can clearly see a few deep scratches, and blood keeps flowing, it seems to be caught by the claws of some large animal.

The monkey had apparently been injured for quite some time, so much so that the blood that flowed red the small patch of grass where it lay red.

The monkey was dying, and had no strength to move, and it was not long before he was going to die here.

Xu Mo put down the medicine basket and immediately stepped forward. The monkey was even more frightened, grinning at Xu Mo's non-stop 'twing', raising his left paw, as if trying to threaten him, waving it a few times, but it looked weak.

Xu Mo smiled at the monkey and comforted, "Treat you, don't be afraid." Regardless of whether the monkey could understand it or not, he leaned down and watched the monkey's injuries.

The monkey also felt weird when he saw his smile, and after being injured for a long time, he really didn't have the strength, so he no longer resisted, and watched Xu Mo's movements inexplicably.

Xu Mo examined its injuries, becoming more and more frightened. There were four scratches on the monkey's body, each of which was deep into the bone, and the flesh was rolled up. Judging by the scratches, the claws of the beast that had scratched the monkey were long and thin. Such scratches can only be left by giant fierce birds such as eagles among the animals that Xu Mo is familiar with.

But he had been scratched by a black eagle with only three scratches on his shoulder, while the monkey had four scratches, and it was clear that they were not injured by the eagle.

Xu Mo couldn't help but shake his head, there might be other beasts in this world that could cause such injuries, but they were not within the scope of his knowledge.

According to his familiarity with medicinal herbs at this time, any external injuries were not a problem, but the monkey was too deeply injured and needed stitches, which was not easy.

He thought about it carefully, so he gathered some herbs around the area, chewed them and applied them to the monkey's wound, and stopped the bleeding for it.

In addition to stopping bleeding, this herb also has the effect of analgesic, as soon as the herb is smeared, the monkey feels that the wound on his back is cool, and the pain is reduced, and finally understands that Xu Mo is treating his own injury, and his eyes immediately change when he looks at Xu Mo, and even raises his little paw and touches Xu Mo's arm lightly, indicating gratitude.

The monkey had been injured for too long, but it was not suitable to move, so Xu Mo pulled out some dead grass, put it under the monkey's body, let it lie on it, touched his head again, gently pressed its body to the dead grass a few times, waved his hand, and motioned for it to stay here and not move.

The monkey looked at him with blank eyes, and his expression was already a little dependent, and he didn't know if Lu Dao understood what he meant.

Xu Mo looked around again, listened intently, and made sure that there were no other beasts nearby, so he hurried to his residence.

When he returned to his lodgings, he found some slender bones left over from eating fish in the past, took a fine hemp rope made of tree bark, brought a large clay pot, and ran back again.

He panted back to his place, the wounded monkey was still lying in place, but there were four more monkeys around him, surrounding the wounded monkey in the middle, 'chirping' non-stop.

The four monkeys, one big and three small, were like a family with the injured one, and the oldest female monkey seemed to be the spouse of the injured monkey, and her cry was the most urgent, and she stretched out her claws several times to pull the injured monkey up, but was stopped by the injured monkey's teeth, and the group was in a hurry.

When Xu Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but like it, thinking that this monkey was also smart, and he let it stay where it was, and sure enough, it didn't move.

When the injured monkey saw Xu Mo, he screamed a few more times, looking very happy, but the other four ran away in fear and jumped up the tree.

The injured monkey turned to the other four and screamed, as if to say something to them not to be afraid.

When the other four monkeys heard its call, they stopped at a distance, hid between the branches, and looked back curiously, but did not dare to come near.

Xu Mo approached, squatted down, and re-examined the wound of the injured monkey, the herbs covered its wound, and it lay on the spot as he was instructed, and did not move, and the wound did not rupture, and continued to bleed.

Xu Mo took the clay pot, went to the lake to fill it with water, picked up some dry firewood, built a tripod, hung the clay pot on the shelf, led the fire, and boiled the water.

When he was fetching water, the four monkeys were very curious, and followed him from a distance, watching his movements, and talking to each other, as if they were guessing what Xu Mo was doing.

The monkey's ability to imitate is very strong, and these four monkeys seem to have the meaning of repairing with Xu Mo, when he picked up dry firewood, he actually quietly picked up some dry firewood on the ground, threw it far away at Xu Mo's feet, and then raised his head and looked at him with blank eyes, which was very flattering.

It's just that I'm still scared in my heart, and I still don't dare to get too close.
