Seeing the three people from the Sharp Tooth Tribe leave, Ma Wu was no longer interested in staying in this smelly tent.
He glanced coldly at Ma Tian who was taking care of Tao Hua with his head down, then slammed the curtain and walked out.
This Ma Tian was too arrogant. He thought that he could challenge his authority just because he became the clan leader? Ridiculous. He had lived for so many years and had already seen the position of clan leader changed eight times.
Seven former patriarchs have died, some killed by wild beasts, some by enemy attacks, and some by accidents.
But some of them could have survived if they had not offended themselves.
Ma Tian is no longer fit to be the patriarch. After his woman dies, he will soon go to accompany her.
Wu Yue, Xiao, and Xia returned to the tribe. Because Xia was very interested in the treatment method of sewing up human wounds, Wu Yue invited her into the house to explain it to her.
"Stitching a wound can prevent excessive bleeding and prevent dirt from entering the wound, which will help it heal faster. When the wound is almost healed, the stitches should be removed."
Thinking of Tao Hua's agony, Wu Yue sighed, "But this method would be very painful. If there's no one to help restrain the patient, they might suffer even greater damage during the struggle. If we could find an anesthetic, something that would put the patient into a coma and make them insensitive to pain, then we could proceed with the surgery with confidence."
Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners also used Ma Fei San, but unfortunately the recipe has long been lost.
Xia listened with great interest. As the chief witch, her greatest contribution to the tribe was to cure illnesses and heal injuries. However, before Wu Yue came, her healing method was similar to that of the horse witch. She would apply some herbs, mud, resin, etc. to the wound to stop the bleeding, and then leave it to fate.
Now that she had seen Wu Yue's treatment methods, although she didn't have the medicine he brought, at least she had learned how to use wet wipes to reduce fever, clean wounds, and sew them.
Not to mention that Wu Yue also told her some herbs that can reduce fever, and told her that the effect would be better if she boiled a variety of herbs into a soup in a clay pot.
She stayed with Wu Yue for most of the day. The two of them were talking and listening very excitedly. If Xiao hadn't come to call them to eat, they might not have noticed that it was getting dark.
"Let's eat first. We'll talk about it another day when we have time." Wu Yue was thirsty after talking for a long time. The water stored in the space was used up. Finally, he found a chance to drink several bowls of soup from the big pot next to the campfire.
"Messenger of God, this is for you." Yun walked up and handed him a small package wrapped in a large leaf.
What? Wu Yue took it, opened it, and was shocked.
A bag of worms.
It was alive, white, as long as my little finger, and looked like a silkworm, a worm twisting in the leaves.
Wu Yue, who was not mentally prepared, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Xiao came over to take a look and said with envy: "You found so many?"
This kind of insect is very delicious, especially when it is thrown into the fire and roasted slightly, it is so crispy and delicious, even better than the oil residue that Wu Yue gave him before.
Wu Yue also calmed down quickly. After asking Yun, he learned that it was found in a dead wood, so he guessed that it might be something like a longhorn beetle larva.
Although this thing looks disgusting, it is not dirty and contains a lot of protein. Like in some survival shows, survivors will often be very happy if they find this kind of thing.
Wu Yue thanked him and accepted it. He had eaten special dishes like fried bamboo worms and fried bee pupae in restaurants before, so he could accept this thing after some mental preparation.
Of course, it’s not the kind of eating raw that you see in survival shows.
He put the insects in a ceramic bowl and placed the bowl next to the fire, which was equivalent to a simple cooking method using dry roasting.
The insect soon stopped moving due to the heat, and then slowly became hard, and its skin turned a little yellow.
Wu Yue carefully flipped it with chopsticks, fearing that it would become burnt.
After smelling the fragrance emanating from the bowl and confirming that all the insects were cooked, he removed the bowl from the flame and let it cool slightly.
I picked one up and took a look at it. It looked much better after being cooked, and was no different from fried bamboo worms.
Throw it into your mouth and chew it. The taste is almost the same as fried bamboo worms, very fragrant and crispy, and not difficult to accept.
After eating two or three in a row, Wu Yue noticed that Xiao was still not satisfied with the barbecue and kept staring at him. He hesitantly extended his bowl towards him and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Xiao is actually not a greedy person. He kept staring at Wu Yue because of the charcoal black stain that Wu Yue accidentally got on the corner of his mouth.
The charcoal black playfully drew a hook at the corner of Wu Yue's mouth, making it look like he was always smiling.
Xiao swallowed, remembering what he had asked Wu Yue during the day. He had seemed very angry when he asked him. So, was it possible that he shouldn't have asked, but should have just kissed him?
The curve of Wu Yue's mouth seemed to be telling him, yes.
So Xiao took the bowl, but put it on the ground. In Wu Yue's puzzled eyes, he leaned over and kissed him.
Wu Yue was so frightened that he almost fell off the stone pier.
It was a very light kiss, and their lips were touching for only a second before Xiao quickly moved away and continued to eat meat with a calm expression.
Wu Yue's blood boiled. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to notice, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but kick the person next to him and complained in a low voice: "What are you doing!? There are so many people here! And you didn't say a word..."
He wanted to say that Xiao should at least say hello before kissing him, but then he remembered how annoyed he was when Xiao asked him if he could kiss him during the day.
Uh, it seems he is the more difficult one.
He frowned, he couldn't figure it out, so he just ate.
He ate half of the bowl of worms and shared the other half with several children in the tribe. They were still growing and greedy. Wu Yue felt sad every time he saw their thin bodies.
When the tribe vigorously develops planting in the future and the food source is sufficient and stable, we must encourage eating two meals, no, three meals a day!
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to sleep. Xiao’s house had not been built yet, so he should have to live in the broken tent.
But he didn't go. Instead, he followed Wu Yue and sent him to the door.
"You, what are you doing..." Wu Yue held the baby who rushed out to greet him in his arms, and looked at Xiao vigilantly in a defensive posture.
This guy, could it be that he's had a taste of sweetness today and wants to do something even more extreme? This won't do! He, he's not ready yet!
Xiao just came up and kissed him, a very innocent kiss on the cheek.
The young leader said seriously: "The last person you saw today was me, so you must also dream of me."
After watching Xiao leave, Wu Yue covered his burning face and went into the house.
Damn it, is this what primitive people can do?!
The next day, when Wu Yue opened his eyes, he stared at the roof for a long time.
Did Xiao cast a spell on him yesterday? Why did he actually dream about that guy yesterday...
Shaking his head, he stood up and got out of bed.
The baby is not around, so he must have gone out hunting again. This little thing is easy to raise, and he doesn't need to take care of its food and drink. At most, he can feed it some dried meat and sausages as snacks.
I was mentally prepared to see mice, sparrows and snakes given by the baby when I opened the door, but what I saw when I opened the door was Xiao.
He was carrying a Tang sword on his back, with his back to the gate. His broad shoulders, which had turned honey-colored due to the sun, had smooth and beautiful lines.
Wu Yueduo looked at it twice and swallowed silently.
Well, the real thing is much better than the one in my dream yesterday. I just don’t know if it feels the same as in the dream...
Shaking his head to get rid of the messy thoughts, he forced himself to be calm and asked, "Aren't you going hunting today?" Since he didn't go yesterday, today should be the day for hunting.
After showing enough of his back side, Xiao turned around, held his head high, chest out, and abdomen in, showing his front side, and said, "I'll let them go. I'll accompany you to the Malaysian tribe." After all, they were a strange foreign tribe, and he didn't trust the Malaysians, so naturally he wouldn't let Wu Yue go. At most, he would add Xia and let them go.
Wu Yue thought about it and nodded without saying anything, then went to the river to wash up.
The Malaysians were not in a hurry, so he went to the back of the house to water the crops and weed.
In addition to the planting area, there was also an open space behind his house. Looking at it, Wu Yue couldn't help but think about raising chickens again. He had been busy these days, and whenever he had time, he would take his hawk and go shoot some jungle fowl.
When the time comes, I'll trim the wing feathers and use some branches as a fence, and I should be able to raise them. Unfortunately, I don't have food to feed them, so I can only feed them some insects and grass leaves, so I can't raise too many.
However, after they are well-trained, you can try to let them roam freely. It will be much easier to let them find food in the woods.
After looking at the vegetable fields, he went to see the salt mountain, the pottery kilns, and the lime kilns. Now these were all assigned to different people to manage, and everything looked well organized, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Around noon, the two left the Liya tribe and planned to check on Tao Hua's injuries.
Xia went out with the collection team to look for herbs today, so she wasn't here. However, she left some herbs used yesterday for Wu Yue so that he could change them.
Wu Yue arrived at Ma Tian's tent with familiarity. He shouted first, and only after hearing the person inside respond did he lift the curtain and enter.
The smell in the tent was much better than yesterday. After cleaning, the rotten smell was almost gone, leaving only the smell of herbs.
Tao Hua was awake, lying in Ma Tian's arms, and he slowly fed her a small bowl of broth.
Upon seeing Wu Yue, Ma Tian was extremely excited. He gently put Tao Hua down and stood up to thank Wu Yue: "God's Messenger Wu Yue! Thank you, thank you so much! Hua no longer felt hot last night, and I was able to eat early this morning!"
Those who are injured and dying cannot eat. Since Hua can eat, doesn’t that mean she won’t die!
Ma Tian sniffed and thanked him while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He is a messenger of God. He is now very sure that Wu Yue is really a messenger of God!
Only God's power can save Tao Hua!
