Jiang Xue was awakened by a knock on the door.
She opened the door sleepily with messy hair. Before she could ask what happened, the person in the room said, "Snow Witch, something bad has happened! It seems Wu Bing and the others were bitten by insects last night!"
Jiang Xue didn't react. She clenched her fist and yawned: "What bit Wu Bing?"
Then she quickly realized it was her work from last night.
"Worms! Several of them are dying. Go and take a look."
How is that possible!
Although her eyesight at night was not as good as the people of the Bamboo Tribe, she was sure that the snakes she caught last night were non-venomous, just to disgust them.
"Let's go over there quickly."
When Jiang Xue arrived at the hut where Wu Bing lived, it was already full of people.
Jiang Xue frowned and immediately drove everyone out without further explanation: "Why are you all gathered here? Disperse."
Everyone left as instructed, leaving only a few people from the Yuanzhu tribe in the room.
There wasn't a shred of pity in Jiang Xue's eyes. Although she was shocked for a moment after learning that they were bitten by a snake, it was only for a moment.
This was just a punishment for them. The clan rules were just agreed upon yesterday, and not even one night had passed before they were challenging my authority. If I don't punish them, who else should I punish?!
However, after she went forward to take a look, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
This was indeed a poisonous snake bite. Could it be that one of the snakes I caught last night was poisonous?
"Hurry up and inform everyone to be extremely careful during this period. The snake's venom can be severe or mild, and it could be fatal. Tell them to carry a stick when they go out. If they must go into the bushes, use the stick to beat the grass to scare away the snake before going in."
The people of the Snake Tribe were well aware of the dangers of stirring up trouble. However, the Bamboo Tribe lived in the desert, so even if there were snakes, they would probably be venomous ones hiding under the sand.
They may not be aware of the consequences of alerting the enemy.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Xue really regretted it.
She didn't regret catching the snake yesterday, but she didn't think that even if they were bitten by a poisonous snake, they would still have to treat themselves.
It's so damn disgusting - she originally wanted to disgust them, but ended up disgusting herself!
There was no other way, she had to use her detoxification technique in front of everyone.
Fortunately, their poisoning was not serious. With a detoxification technique, the originally black and pus-filled wounds gradually turned white and smooth.
Jiang Xue was afraid that there was still some poison left, so after their wounds had completely healed and turned red, she squeezed them hard again. Everyone was startled: "Xue Wu, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xue said, "Didn't I just say that the snake venom can be severe or mild? If there's still some poison left in the blood after it's squeezed out, they'll be the ones to suffer. I might as well give them a thorough checkup now."
The blood squeezed out was no longer as black as before, and Jiang Xue finally felt relieved.
I never thought that my detoxification technique would be so effective!
But this also gave her a reminder.
Fortunately, they were the ones poisoned now. If other people were poisoned in the future and they were not in the tribe, wouldn’t they have to wait for death?
No, we still have to go to the mountains to collect as many medicinal herbs as possible.
Even if it is not for detoxification, it can treat injuries if there are any, and it can also play a preventive role if there are no injuries.
In fact, no matter what era it is, prevention is really important.
If we have to wait until something happens before rushing to find the recipe, it will only harm more people.
Jiang Xue immediately went to find Xiaohua, Xiangcao, Aqing and Lingya, and asked them to carry backpacks, two axes and a hoe, and walk into the mountains.
Ever since the tribe started raising silkworms, Xiaohua rarely followed Jiang Xue around.
Now she finally had the chance to go out with Jiang Xue again. She was so excited that she jumped and skipped as she carried four backpacks and headed up the mountain.
Holding the hoe for hoeing the ground, Jiang Xue always felt weird.
Going out to collect herbs actually requires such a big hoe...
She shook her head and said, "No, I'll ask the iron smelting team to make me a few more medicine hoes. This will save me a lot of effort."
It is a hot day now, and it is the time when the medicinal herbs in the forest grow wildly.
When Jiang Xue took them to the foot of the mountain, they had already picked some common Chinese herbal medicines such as mint, licorice, and bupleurum.
Every time she collected a herb, she would tell them what it was and what illness it could cure, and then she would ask them to pick the herbs according to the ones they had.
There are many medicinal herbs in nature that look very similar, such as the common star anise. There is a very similar herb called mangosteen, which is poisonous and difficult to detect if you don’t distinguish it carefully.
The four girls only half understood what she said, but still did as she asked.
By the time Tai Si Nu returned to the tribe with her backpack filled with various medicinal herbs, the sun had already set.
Speaking of which, Jiang Xue is still a little depressed.
Originally, she went up the mountain to collect herbs that could detoxify snake venom, such as seven-leaf aconite, half-flowered lotus, bidentata, arisaema, etc. However, after searching for a whole day, she only found arisaema and bidentata, and she had never seen the others.
What made her even more speechless was that after they returned to the tribe exhausted, they saw Wu Bing and others sitting in the open space of the row houses, looking at her with a half-smile.
Jiang Xue was completely unfazed by his words. Instead, she called over Xiao Shali and asked him to go to the valley and fetch a few winnowing baskets. Then, she dumped all the herbs the five of them had gathered onto the ground and began sorting them.
