After all, the population of the ancient tribe is declining rapidly. Many tribesmen who originally lived in villages will later move to towns where their own tribe gathers for safety.
Perhaps, this is just a small abandoned village.
But in fact, those towns with small populations are also decreasing rapidly, and more people have chosen to live together with their own tribe, instead of being scattered among the ancient tribes like before.
Because of their extreme xenophobia, the current trade status of the ancient tribe with the outside world is almost completely stagnant.
Except for a few caravans who maintain normal trade relations with the outside world in exchange for necessary living supplies, others are not allowed to do business with the outside world.
Therefore, supplies are also quite scarce.
Sometimes even food is not available, let alone other things.
Of course, there are families like the Li family that still interact with outsiders.
But without exception, they have been severely suppressed by the Presbyterian Church in the past six months.
Nowadays, there are very few families that can communicate normally with the outside world. Even the new generation of ancient children think that the outside world is full of savage beasts and will not easily step out.
Regarding such a result, Lin Mengya could only express her helplessness.
In any case, these are the choices they made themselves. If the ancient tribes themselves cannot be reborn, then they will one day disappear in the long river of history.
It may even become an existence like the ancient Weiguo. It may not completely disappear from people's memory one day and become a mysterious legend.
After the herb collectors and others had had enough rest, they continued on their way.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that they arrived at the meeting place agreed upon by Bai Jing.
Bai Jing is indeed attentive in this regard.
The people he sent all drove strong carriages, and there were many old quilts or mats placed on them.
As soon as the herb collectors saw the carriage, they immediately felt excited.
This means that they are finally out of the mountains and forests, and are finally heading towards their new life.
And here, Lin Mengya and Yuan Bao also completed their mission of escorting them.
They have already made arrangements with the coachmen. These people are all Bai Jing can trust, so naturally nothing will go wrong.
They would always escort the herb collectors to Zhuangzi, and then stay to help them adapt to life on Zhuangzi.
As for planting herbs and making medicine for wounds, Bai Jing also made arrangements.
Moreover, he also asked Lin Mengya to write a There are very detailed steps and precautions, and if there are any questions, they will communicate at any time.
This time they purchased a large number of medicinal materials from the herb collectors. If they speed up the preparation, they can produce a large number of very effective healing medicines in about three days.
However, for safety reasons, these healing medicines cannot be taken out in a big way for the time being, so the channels for transporting them are arranged by Bai Jing.
It could be said that he had arranged all of this so that Lin Mengya didn't need to worry about it at all.
However, when the herb collectors learned that the brothers who had escorted them all the way were about to leave, they were still a little reluctant to leave.
But after experiencing everything before, these people have vaguely understood something, and they also know that they will be a family in the future, and there will definitely be opportunities to meet.
It is no longer like the previous parting, I always feel uneasy for fear that it will be the last time we see each other.
So, their farewell this time was very simple.
For this reason, Yuan Bao was still a little disappointed.
But he was not like his mother-in-law, so he waved to the new family members, and then the group left.
Next, their mission is to join the Shenji Battalion's large force.
It's just that they have to be careful. As the back-up force of the Shenji Battalion, they want to have unexpected effects, so they can't be discovered by others.
Bai Jing gave them a map.
They need to get to the location of the ancient altar within two days, and they need to go around to the rear and wait for the opportunity.
The few people who were free of burdens ran very fast with their arms and legs free.
It only took them one day and one night to cover almost two-thirds of the journey.
That night, they happened to be resting in a secluded forest. Suddenly, Lin Mengya heard a few faint calls for help.
She woke up immediately, opened her eyes, and looked around.
Seeing her actions, the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous, thinking they were attacked by some wild beast.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya hissed and continued to listen to what was going on outside.
The sound became weaker and weaker. In the end, even if she improved her hearing sensitivity, she could only hear some faint movements, but fortunately she had determined the direction.
"I seem to hear someone calling for help over there, would you like to go over there and take a look?"
She did not act recklessly;
I chose to discuss it with Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao thought for a while and whispered, "I don't know what the situation is over there. Why don't I send someone over there to take a look first."
Lin Mengya saw the look in his eyes and immediately understood that Yuan Bao was suspecting that someone was deliberately setting up a trap to lure them there.
It was not that she had never seen this kind of situation before, but she felt that it might not be the case this time.
If you really wanted to lure them over, the sound should be getting louder and louder, at least enough for them to hear.
But this time, based on the distance she estimated, if it weren't for her keener hearing, she would definitely not be able to hear it.
Yuan Bao acted very neatly and immediately arranged for three people to go over and check the situation. ??
After about ten minutes, one of them reported back and forth, "There is a cliff over there. We found an injured person on the cliff. She must have been injured, but fortunately there was a branch on the cliff that caught her."
Clothes, but she’s not in a good condition.”
Because it was dark underneath, they could probably only tell that there was a woman underneath.
No one knows why she was injured or how she fell in.
Yuan Bao pondered for a moment and finally chose to save people.
Moreover, they did not wear Shaoxuan Army uniforms when they came out this time. Even if they were saving people, they should not be recognized by others.
If you haven't encountered it, that's fine. Now that you have encountered it, there is no reason to sit idly by.
So soon, the girl who was hung on the tree was rescued by three people and brought to Lin Mengya.
She checked the girl's injuries.
Fortunately, they were all skin injuries, but the most troublesome thing was probably an impact injury on the back of her head.
But her long hair was soaked in blood and tangled together. Although blood was no longer coming out, Lin Mengya was not sure about the extent of her injuries.
The intracranial damage can be large or small, and the situation they are in is not very good now. She cannot touch the other person's wound without disinfection to avoid secondary infection.
All she could think about was giving him some medicine first.
As for whether the other party can survive, it depends on his own destiny.
They met by chance, and there wasn't much she could do.
If this girl can survive until dawn, her chances of survival are quite high.
Everyone was silent all night, exchanging patrols with each other, looking at the girl lying on the ground from time to time. It was not until early the next morning that Lin Mengya, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a small exclamation.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the girl they had rescued last night, looking at the people around her in horror and helplessness.
"You, don't come here! Just follow your example and let us go! We haven't done anything, please!"
The girl probably didn't realize that she was out of danger, so she cried out in pain and begged for mercy, and even wanted to kowtow.
Lin Mengya immediately grabbed the other party's shoulders, frowned and said, "Don't move yet, the injury on the back of your head has not healed yet."
"My lord, I don't move and I am obedient. Can you please let my parents go? I am really obedient and I will never run away again!"
The girl's painful cry made Lin Mengya frown. He was not impatient, but took out a handkerchief, handed it to the other party, and said softly, "We rescued you under the cliff last night. You are safe now."
The girl's mind is still a little slow.
In fact, the impact on the back of her head last night left her a little confused.
Lin Mengya was afraid that she would hurt herself because she was too emotional, so she asked everyone to stay away for the time being and let her communicate with the girl alone.
Sure enough, when those people moved away, Lin Mengya clearly felt that the girl seemed to be relieved.
But Lin Mengya did not relax her vigilance. While holding on to the concealed crossbow in her hand, she ensured that she could kill the woman in front of her as soon as possible. She asked softly, "Please wait a moment. You are safe now. How about you
Look around to see if they are still the same people you met before."
Seeing that the girl might still be a little confused, Lin Mengya repeated it several times. Probably because her voice was too gentle and patient, and her aura was calm and peaceful, the girl gradually regained her senses.
A pair of big watery eyes looked around confusedly.
Really, she really escaped!
Although the people around her were equally tall and tall, they did not insult her wantonly, nor did they show any signs of coming around to insult her.
Especially the young man squatting in front of him, his eyebrows were gentle and harmless, and his voice was extremely gentle.
This made the girl suddenly let go of her guard. She breathed a long sigh of relief, but tightly grabbed Lin Mengya's sleeves and asked timidly, "Did I really, really escape?"
Her tone was a little uneasy.
Lin Mengya nodded and said, "Well, I'll help you up and you can make sure yourself, okay?"
After getting the girl's consent, she helped the girl up and looked around.
