After Xu Chen worked hard for half an hour, he finally brought the cooked soup and everyone drank a large bowl.
This decoction not only contains lobelia, devil's needle, and polygonum, but also contains several other stored medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis, Tianqi, etc.
These medicines are definitely not very symptomatic, but these medicines are very expensive and good medicines in the past, especially this wild old medicine, which is not easy to buy even if you have money.
Promotes blood circulation, strengthens the heart, calms the liver, replenishes qi, improves immunity, etc.
Therefore, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, and everyone is used anyway.
If he still can't be saved, then there is really nothing he can do.
Although the savages of this era were weak in alcohol resistance, their body's poison resistance was extremely strong. They lived in the wild all year round, and injuries were commonplace, and the food they ate also contained various toxins.
Therefore, he could only rely on Gu Heju to rely on his own strong resistance to poison to survive this disaster.
After taking the medicine, I waited anxiously.
No one is interested in working.
Dozens of people, old and young, were all standing guard inside and outside the room.
Mother Ba and a group of women cried with their eyes red.
Xu Chen sat expressionless under the eaves outside the door, feeling extremely depressed and remorseful.
If he hadn't been looking for bird eggs every day, this kind of thing would never have happened.
And in the past few days, many tribesmen have repeatedly reminded and warned that they must be careful of insects and snakes.
There are no large beasts in the valley now, but poisonous insects and snakes are hard to guard against.
Although he and Gu Ju had always been careful, they would use bows, arrows and wooden sticks to disturb the grass in the grass.
However, after a lot of mistakes, his negligence and carelessness finally caused irreversible consequences today.
If Gu Heju died, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
When he thinks back to the scene at that time, a ferocious triangular snake head with a forked tongue always appears in Na's mind, as if it wants to tear his soul into pieces.
If Gu hadn't saved him, he would never have been bitten by the snake.
Ye squatted beside him and kept crying softly.
Gu, Ju, and Xu Chen are now the new generation of young men in the tribe.
If Gu Heju suddenly died of poisoning, it would definitely be an unprecedented and major blow to the Ba people.
But no one blamed Xu Chen.
Because no one would think of such a thing.
Xu Chen took the two of them out to look for bird eggs every day, so that pregnant women and babies could have adequate nutrition and food.
Everything he did was for the survival of the entire tribe, without any selfish motives, and everyone could see it clearly.
But facing such irresistible casualties, everyone felt that it was unbearable.
Time passed minute by minute.
While waiting for a long time, several vague shouts suddenly came out. Although everyone was immersed in extreme pain, the sound was long and anxious, and seemed to convey a very urgent message.
In an instant, all the women who were crying sadly fell silent.
The sound heard this way is clearer.
Xu Chen suddenly stood up from the ground.
Could it be that something happened to Feng and the others?
The group of men all became nervous and began to look for bows, arrows and spears. Mother Ba also hurriedly came out of the room. After a few words of explanation, a group of men rushed out of the yard and headed straight towards the mouth of the valley.
Xu Chen and several weaker men also quickly prepared bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, and ran outside the yard to look around and wait.
"Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho..."
The shouts in the distance became clearer and clearer, and several voices came and went without stopping, all expressing the same message at the same time.
The few men who went to greet him also began to respond loudly, but this simple exchange could not obtain accurate information at all. It could only inform both parties that they were aware of the situation.
From the mouth of the valley to the foot of the mountain, there is a distance of seven or eight miles, and it usually takes an hour to walk. Therefore, even if the sound is urgent, everyone can only wait for the two sides to meet up before knowing the specific situation.
After waiting for more than half an hour this time, I saw a large group of men running along the river beach like dogs chasing them.
Several men who went to greet him, including He Feng and a group of six hunters, were among them. Everyone was sweating profusely and panting. Their faces were nervous and they were constantly looking back.
"Moxy Gaga?"
Xu Chen and others rushed to greet him.
"Come back quickly..."
Feng wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, and rushed into the courtyard with a group of people without having time to elaborate.
After entering the courtyard, Feng and a group of others quickly closed the courtyard gate and blocked it with several thick wooden heads. At the same time, they all drew their bows and arrows and looked nervously towards the mouth of the valley. Xu Chen was confused, but the group of women were immediately frightened.
It was not serious, so Muba rushed over to ask what happened.
"Wula...wulaiga, so...many quacks!"
There is an explanation for the hunter's face full of fear and drawing pictures.
This sentence was very consistent with Xu Chen's language habits, so he understood it instantly.
There is a high probability that many people from the Uzbek tribe came.
But even if someone from the Uzbek tribe comes, they won't be so frightened and frightened.
You must know that the Ba and Uu tribes are still two tribes that are related by blood. They have always gotten along well with each other. There is no need for them to come to attack the Ba tribe for no reason.
The most likely reason is that the weather is getting hot and they want to exchange linen for clothes.
The temperature has warmed up very quickly recently. Except for the morning and evening periods, animal skin clothes are no longer suitable for wearing. However, it will be a bit cold if not worn at all, so this is the most suitable time to wear linen clothes.
Before winter last year, several tribes came to exchange animal skins for a lot of pottery. In order to obtain more pottery, they all left many people to help repair their houses. They brought back the second batch of pottery at the end of last month.
Regardless of the relationship between the two parties or other factors, even if the Uzbek people come, they should come with peace.
But the behavior of a group of hunters was not like this, and they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The others' judgments were similar to Xu Chen's, so under Mu Ba's eager questioning, Feng waited for a group of hunters to reveal the situation.
Today they were fishing at the mouth of the river outside the valley where the small river meets the big river. They heard shouting coming from the lower reaches of the river beach, and it sounded like there were a lot of people. They didn't pay attention at first. Just like Xu Chen thought, they thought it was some other tribe.
Come over to change things, and slowly wait until the other party walks in to see the situation clearly. A group of people suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because there were too many people coming from the other party, and based on the various knowledge and influences that Xu Chen had been exposed to recently, the approximate number of people they observed was at least fifty.
It didn't matter that there were many people, but the main reason was that these people did not carry baskets, but instead carried various weapons, and some of them even carried what looked like bows and arrows.
Based on these factors, Feng and others speculated that the other party was a bad person, so they did not go up to him to ask and say hello, but quickly threw away the fishing nets and even the harvest, and then ran back to report the news.
After listening to a group of hunters talking, many women were frightened and overwhelmed, and the men were even more nervous. Mother's old cheeks kept trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was frightened. In a moment,
I don't even know what to do.
After all, a group of men were much calmer, especially a group of hunters such as Feng, who kept calling all the men to prepare their bows and arrows. Women, children, old and weak all went back to their rooms to hide, and the strong women also looked for weapons and prepared to help.
"Gu Ga Ju Ga..."
There were only sixteen men in the whole clan. At this time, the manpower was tight, and Feng shouted the names of the two men anxiously.
The busy crowd fell silent instantly, the atmosphere was extremely low, and some women even started to cry.
"Gaha?" Feng and others were confused.
"Damn it, die it!"
After a while, a man staying at home answered in a low voice.
The group of men including Feng were stunned for a moment, and they all stood there with their mouths wide open.
This was definitely a bolt from the blue.
Although adult men generally have to marry into other tribes, after all, teenagers are also a very important protective force within the tribe. Even if they do not participate in hunting, it is still important to stay at home and protect women.
It was fine when I went out in the morning, but no one was there in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the stunned expressions of the group of hunters including Feng, more women began to cry. The sad emotions were contagious, and the whole yard was full of cries. The mother was even more sad and unbearable, lying in the corner and crying loudly.
"Dead?"
Feng slowly came back to his senses and looked at Xu Chen with a sad face.
Xu Chen shook his head, turned around and pointed at a large green-striped snake thrown into the open space not far from the door.
A group of hunters exclaimed in unison when they saw it, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing, and their faces all turned pale.
"Baga...Baga..."
A hunter pointed at the poisonous snake and jumped up shouting.
Although Xu Chen heard it inexplicably, he seemed to understand that Ba might be the name of this kind of snake, because all the men and women in the clan, whether it was Gu Hefeng or later, were all screaming in fear.
And depending on the situation, the venom of this venomous snake scares everyone.
In addition, he never knew the origin of the name of the Ba people. Could it be related to this poisonous snake?
An idea suddenly appeared in Xu Chen's mind.
But the situation is urgent at this time, Gu Heju's life or death is uncertain, and dozens of people from the Wu tribe are coming in an aggressive manner. I am afraid that the Ba tribe will be in big trouble today.
Therefore, he did not continue to think about this matter, but took Feng and others to the room to visit Gu Heju.
