Chapter 76 Chapter 76
treat
Each member of the Mu tribe medical team has a small animal skin bag, which contains processed common herbs, mostly for hemostasis.
Since joining the medical team, Lu Shui has never taken off this small bag.
However, his small bag also contained a kind of dried fruit called "sea buckthorn".
The medical team taught about various diseases and herbs every day. Lu Shui learned a lot because of this. It was also the first time he knew that not eating fruits and wild vegetables could also cause illness.
On the wooden board were painted fruits that contained large amounts of vitamin C and could cure this disease, including the oranges they used to make jam.
Lu Shui didn't know what this strange and difficult to pronounce name "Vitamin C" meant, and Captain Tu Dong just told them that this was the main reason why these fruits could cure this disease.
Among these fruits, there is a small one with thorns all over. This fruit contains many things that can cure scurvy. Because of its strange appearance, Lu Shui was deeply impressed.
When collecting later, Lu Shui looked for it on purpose and actually found it.
The tribesmen who found new herbs or edible fruits could get candies from the priests as rewards. Lu Shui got a whole bag of candies from the wild prickly pear. The bag made of fish skin was stuffed full, and Lu Shui ate all the candies in the whole winter.
As the first fruit that Lu Shui found that could cure diseases, he made sea buckthorn into dried fruits and packed some in the animal skin bag that he carried every day.
Lu Shui took out the dried wild prickly pear fruit, not knowing whether it would still be as effective after such a long time. However, there was no place to find fresh fruit now, and it was not yet ripe.
"Priest of the Cliff Tribe, I need hot water."
The cooking effect will be better, but there is no clay pot here, and I don’t know how long it will take if I use a stone bowl to cook it.
Yayu thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Did you use fire to heat the water?"
Lu Shui subconsciously explained, "Fire burns too slowly, use stones."
Because Lushui's attention was always on Langya, he didn't see Yayu's confused expression at this time. Tufeng took in Yayu's expression and said to Yayu: "Ask your tribe to bring stone bowls filled with water and bring some fire."
Yayu nodded repeatedly, then called two orcs and asked them to do as Tufeng said.
"Captain, throw these dried fruits in when you throw stones later." Lu Shui took out a handful of dried fruits and handed them to Tu Feng.
"OK."
After the orcs from the Cliff Tribe fetched water and fire, Tu Feng looked around and walked straight towards the place with rocks.
He picked up a suitable stone, weighed it twice with his hand, and handed it to another orc from the Cliff Tribe, "Wash these stones."
The orc of the Ya tribe did not take it immediately, and turned to look at their priest. Ya Yu nodded slightly puzzled, meaning that he should do as he was told. The orc also resisted asking any more questions, and curiously took the stone and washed it.
Tu Feng was not idle. He was too lazy to look for branches for making fire, so he pulled some branches out from under Wolf Cliff. In the astonished eyes of many clan leaders and priests, he built a small fire with them.
When the orc who was washing the stones came back after cleaning them, a fire had been lit at Tufeng's feet, and there was a stone bowl filled with water.
"It's clean." The Ya tribe handed the wet stones to Tu Feng. Tu Feng picked up the stones and looked at them. They were clean. Then he threw them all into the fire.
The orcs present were completely confused by this action. They looked at each other and then stared at Tufeng together.
They had no idea what this high-level orc would do next.
Tu Feng simply ignored the gazes directed at him, squatted on the ground, and used a branch to poke the stones so that they were heated evenly, without even raising his head.
When the stones were almost burned, Tufeng put the dried fruits given by Lushui into the stone bowl, then used a branch to pick up the hot stones and threw them into the stone bowl.
“Sizzle—”
The hot stones make a harsh sound when they meet the cold water. As more and more hot stones are added, the temperature of the water gradually rises, and soon a "gurgling" sound is made.
The orcs who had been waiting for Rabbit Wind to make a move, saw that he was burning stones all the time, and although they were surprised, they didn't take it too seriously. Who knew that when they weren't paying attention, the other party made another move that they couldn't understand.
Everyone stared at the stone bowl. In winter, they would use the stone bowl to burn snow or ice to make it melt into water. They knew that it would take a lot of time to make the water in the stone bowl make such a sound.
There's absolutely no way it could be that fast.
What did the other party do? He heated the stone and threw it into the water, and then the water quickly became hot.
How can you still do this?
Tu Feng ignored the doubts and inquiries in the eyes of the chiefs and priests. He quickly pulled some leaves to pad around the stone bowl and directly handed it to Lu Shui. "There is no spoon here, how do you feed it?"
"Ah? A spoon? I have a spoon!" Mao Cao, who had been staring at the orcs around him with a frown on his face, suddenly turned around. He took out a strange-shaped piece of wood from his pocket and looked reluctantly, "I made this myself, and Lu Shuang praised me for my good work."
Tu Feng took the strange piece of wood and looked at it carefully. He could vaguely make out the outline of a spoon. Although the handle was crooked as if it had been chewed by a dog, it did not affect its use.
"Lu Shuang even said that the broth made by Tuanzi was delicious, and you actually believed him when he said that your spoon looked good?"
When they thought of Tuanzi's dark broth, the three of them felt an inexplicable bitterness in their mouths and shuddered for no reason. Mao Cao stammered, "Anyway, Lu Shuang just said that I made it beautiful."
Tu Feng didn't continue to tease him, and said repeatedly: "It looks good, it looks good."
After this incident, Lushui and Maocao, who were originally tense, relaxed a lot. Maocao stepped forward to help Lushui lift Langya up. Lushui scooped up the water soaked in wild thorn pear in the stone bowl with a wooden spoon, blew gently, and sent it to Langya's lips after the temperature was lowered.
Lu Shui knew that the person was still conscious, but he had become weak due to this disease. He whispered, "Open your mouth and drink, you may get better."
Langya knew everything. When Yayu stood in front of him before, he probably told him everything.
Rather than saying that Yayu finally chose to let Lushui give it a try, it would be more accurate to say that Langya wanted to give it a try.
Yayu saw Langya's intention and knew that the fire sacrifice could no longer be held normally.
As Langya moved his lips, Lushui pushed the wooden spoon forward again, and Langya drank a spoonful of wild sea buckthorn juice.
This went on for a while, and before he knew it, Langya had drunk the entire bowl of wild sea buckthorn water.
Lu Shui had tried wild sea buckthorn soaked in water before, but the taste was not very good. It was so sour that he closed his eyes. He still preferred to drink jam soaked in water.
..
Shen Yi had already brought the orcs back to Wushan, and made a lot of iron knives and scissors according to Shen Nong's instructions. The first batch of iron slag, iron knives and scissors were sent by the orcs of the Yu tribe, along with a sword for battle.
Shen Nong looked at the smooth and sharp blade of the sword and couldn't help but sigh that the energy of the spiritual core was spent at the right time. This was simply a free method of forging cold weapons.
However, this iron sword is not light, and he has no use for other weapons. Even if he uses Shen Nong, he still prefers to use a dagger.
Orcs don't need weapons, they fight in shapeshifting, and can't hold weapons in their hands. There is a team in the tribe, the crossbow team is enough for long-range attacks, and close combat still depends on orcs' shapeshifting. Instead of mass-producing cold weapons, it is far more practical to find a way to improve the level of orcs.
So Shen Nong casually threw the first sword in the beast world into the cave.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
However, building roads is not something that can be done overnight. In addition, there are many mountains in the Beast World, and there are few muddy roads made by footsteps, so building roads is extremely difficult.
If Shen Nong wants to build new roads now, he can only build cement roads connecting the surrounding tribes.
This road cannot be built just because Shen Nong said so. Otherwise, if the Mu tribe had a cement road leading directly to the gates of those tribes, they would be scared to death.
He specifically asked Mao Yun to ask the priests of various tribes. According to Mao Yun, except for the seven priests who had lived in their tribe, the priests of other tribes all cried and said no.
Shen Nong thought about it and cried with fear, but he had to muster up the courage to refuse. He didn't have the heart to ask anyone again, so he decided to just forget it, if they didn't want to repair it, then they didn't have to.
Because there were more people, Shen Nong started thinking about building a house.
The city wall around the tribe has also been built. The brick-making team is still mass-producing bricks every day, and a lot of them are piled up. Now there is no steel bar, so the house cannot be directly poured with cement. It is possible to build with bricks and then reinforce with cement, which is much stronger than the mud house.
It is difficult for the tribesmen to get water now, and they have to go to the stream to fetch water. It is a good opportunity to dig some more wells and build some canals.
Whether it is a house, a well or a canal, bricks are needed, so the brick-making team started working day and night.
Most of the orcs from the seven tribes who had agreed with the Mu Tribe to send people to work in the Mu Tribe were also helping the brick-making team to break the mud.
When the sun reached the middle, four orcs from the food-making team came to the front of the Wood Tribe. They were in groups of two, carrying two large wooden barrels. "It's time to eat!"
Because the brick-making team has more people, they have two more wooden barrels than any other team.
Songshan was the first to rush over to grab the bowl and beat the meat. He stretched his neck and stared at the wooden barrel. "What are we having today?"
The food-preparing team held a wooden spoon in their hands and filled Songshan with meat. "Braised meat cubes and kelp and pork ribs soup."
As he spoke, two large spoonfuls of kelp and pork ribs soup were put into Songshan's big bowl, and a bowl of stewed meat was stuffed into his other hand. He walked under the shade of the tree with a bowl in each hand. The stewed meat was wrapped in leaves and placed in the soil and stewed over fire. Songshan didn't know this way of eating until he came to the wood tribe.
He really likes to eat stewed meat, which is very tender. The people of the Mu tribe don't know what they put in the meat, but it tastes so good that you want to swallow your tongue.
Not to mention the kelp and pork ribs soup, it was the first time that Songshan knew that bones could be so delicious.
There was also this kelp that I had never eaten before. The broth with it tasted better than without it. Songshan would drink at least three bowls of it every time.
More and more orcs gathered around, but Songshan was just busy eating.
Slurp, slurp.
Kelp and pork ribs soup is so delicious!
He wants to drink four big bowls today, no, five big bowls!
The orcs of the Mountain Tribe gathered around Songshan. One of them looked at their chief drinking the soup like crazy and said worriedly, "Chief, eat slowly. Yesterday the priest told me to keep an eye on you. If you eat too much and vomit on the ground again, you will not be allowed to return to the tribe."
Songshan raised his head when he heard this, with a piece of seaweed hanging from the corner of his mouth, "Did the priest really say that? Then can I live in the Wood Tribe?"
He knew that the Wood Tribe had a place outside the city for the orcs from each tribe to sleep. What was it called?
"No, the priest said you are the chief of the clan and cannot live in the workers' dormitory."
Yes, the workers' dormitory. Songshan remembered the name and heard a disappointing answer.
"I know we can't live in the workers' dormitory." Songshan looked at the tribesmen in the mountain tribe and asked, "Who of you will go back and report to the priest today?"
Before the orc who was supposed to go back with him to report today could come forward, Songshan pointed at the orc who told him to drink less broth and said unreasonably: "No matter who you are, you must go back with me today."
I can't live in the staff dormitory, so you can forget about it!
The orcs who were named to return to the mountain tribe today had their pupils widened, and they refused to eat the meat or drink the soup.
He just went back yesterday! Is he going back again today? He hasn’t slept on his beloved wooden bed for two days!
But thinking that he would be able to sleep on a wooden bed tomorrow, he felt a little comforted. He sipped the fragrant broth and said weakly, "Yes, Chief."
The author has something to say:
Wild prickly pear is from Baidu, so there may be inaccuracies. Everything is for the sake of the plot, so don’t take it seriously.
