Chapter 239: Fighting Rabbit, Betel Nut Cure Miasma

At this moment, the war at the city gate had stopped. The remaining soldiers of the Li clan were begging in Li language in horror. Although they didn't know what they were talking about, they were mostly begging these soldiers to save their lives and begging for mercy.

The thick-eyed and big-eyed captain who took the lead into the city put the blood-stained knife into the scabbard, and just had time to hold the helmet in his hand and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Although he could still hold on for another half an hour, he was a lieutenant after all, and he still needed to have this little physical strength, but it took some effort.

On the battlefield, you have to fight for life even for a moment. The sword has no eyes. No matter how high his personal force is, he may capsize in the gutter if he accidentally falls in carelessness. It is said that "a lion fights a rabbit and needs all his strength. Underestimating the enemy's carelessness is a taboo for military strategists."

Maybe the captain has not read many books, nor does it know the famous saying of lion fighting rabbit, but he knows that he must not be ruthless against the enemy on the battlefield. This is what his captain said to him when he was just recruited into the army.

When he followed the general Fuyue and the general Zhuge Ke, the prefect of Danyang, had already understood when he was the one who was the general Fuyue tribe.

At that time, he was still confused and was dragged to the battlefield to fight against the Shanyue people. If it weren't for his commander's desperate rescue, he wouldn't have been alive and taken to the position of commander. In a blink of an eye, many years have passed since today. The commander at that time was no longer there and died in a battle against Cao Wei.

Therefore, when he trains his soldiers on weekdays, he is always busy and says that he should do his best to go to the battlefield and not be ruthless.

Even so, many soldiers under his command died on the battlefield, and they fell to the pool of blood in front of him. When he saw this, he was still powerless to do anything to the death of most soldiers under his command.

After all, at that time he was mostly besieged by the enemy and was unable to take care of himself. This was the war. Countless people would be cannon fodder and died, while a few survived could continue to climb to the middle level of the army like him.

The upper class in the army had a high position like the general who dared not even think about it. Not to mention wisdom, even the family background behind the general, the connections in the court were what they did not have.

The commander took a short rest for a moment and then drew his long sword, rode his horse and continued to rush to the dirt street in front and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and go to the county government to capture the Li tribe leader of this county alive. At that time, he will make a great contribution!"

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves rolled up smoke and dust on the street, because there was no sound rain in the pond and nearby.

Most of the Li people here are from Li, and they are a branch of the Li people.

"�" is translated in Chinese in Li language, meaning "people who live in peripheral areas".

Men are used to knotting their hair on their foreheads, wearing short-sleeved, no-button clothes on top, and waist cloths made of trapezoidal and rectangular shapes. Women are mostly knotting their hair on their necks, their tops are wide, and they wear short bucket skirts. On both sides of the street, they saw a few on the streets when they had just rushed to the gate of the city.

At this moment, they all ran back to their respective nests on both sides of the street, and then they only heard the "beat" sound and closed the wooden door tightly. They were very afraid of contacting them, the fierce and cruel people outside the island. At first glance, these nests were all made of red, white vines, covered with thatch or sunflower leaves.

There are few tiled houses where Han people live on both sides of the street. The smell of blood in the air and the smell of betel nuts are intertwined. Since they came to the island, they have also started chewing betel nuts with the locals.

After all, this betel nut is a good thing to relieve malaria on the island. There is no harm in preventing it first. Although betel nut is light and tastes bitter and has no chewing, in order to save their lives, chewing betel nut is nothing.

Li people usually like to chew betel nut. Eating betel nut often has the effects of preventing and treating diseases and beautification. Therefore, betel nut is regarded as a food for health and longevity. The way to eat is to peel betel nut into petals, wrap it with beetle leaves, put it in your mouth and chew it carefully, which can make the person look red and refreshed after drinking wine, but you can't eat too much, and it is quite good for medicinal purposes.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the central area of ​​my country's social civilization was always dominated by the Central Plains. For most of the time, the social and economic prosperity in northern my country exceeded that in the southern region. The biggest reason is that many places in the south were considered "miasma" and were not suitable for human habitation and production and life.

In ancient times, it referred to diseases caused by miasma, so the place where miasma is easily invaded by miasma and causes diseases.

So what does miasma refer to? It is generally believed that it refers to the unpleasant gas released by the corpses of animals and plants or dead grass leaves after rotting. The temperature in the southern region is high, humid and rainy, and the species of animals and plants are also rich, so miasma is easy to produce. In ancient times, miasma was considered a toxic gas.

However, the concentration of this gas produced between the forests in the southern region will not cause people living nearby or entering and leaving the forest to get sick.

The ancients said that the disease caused by miasma is more caused by mosquito bites, the body is not adapted to the humid and hot weather, and the consumption of unclean food. Most of them are caused by insect-borne infectious diseases such as mosquito bites.

The weather in the south is hot and humid, and it is easy to breed mosquitoes. The distribution density of mosquitoes is unimaginable to people living in the northern region. Most of the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom are in the south, and they still have some understanding of betel nuts that can relieve miasma, so they will not be wiped out as soon as they arrive on this island due to miasma.

As early as Emperor Wu of Han conquered Nanyue, he used betel nut to relieve the miasma of the army. After his success, he built Fuli Palace in Xi'an, planted Nanmu and betel nut into the list. This incident is also recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian".

The commander led his men to continue along the street to the Chengzhong County Government. Along the way, he saw many Li people hanging on the eaves of their nests and baskets woven by bamboo and rattan.

In the tradition of the Li people, single-wood tools have always been regarded as a kind of "totem" and a natural ecological view. Any utensils they use strive to be "single-wood". These utensils are generally divided into two categories: daily utensils and production utensils.

Single-wood tools are used to empty, cut, carve, cut and scrape natural wood into various kinds of utensils, and tree species such as nanmu are often used. One of the principles is to avoid auxiliary materials such as iron nails, and occasionally when combined, they use mortise and tenon structures. Li single-wood tools are most famous for canoes.

After a cup of tea, the commander led his men to the disrepaired county government office. The gate of the county government office was closed. The Li tribe leader was trembling under the wooden bed in the backyard of the county government office. Only dozens of Li tribe soldiers arrived behind the county government office gate, trying to make a final struggle.........
