Jiang Xue showed her the title of the book: "Shennong's Herbal Classic."
"What is this? Why is it so slippery?" Xiaohua tilted her head, touched the page, and exclaimed again: "Why are there flowers and plants printed on it?"
Jiang Xue smiled. She didn't intend to explain anything and advised her, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Come with me to the woods tomorrow."
It is freezing cold now, and many deciduous trees have only bare branches left. These medicinal herbs, most of which are only one or two years old, are probably not easy to find.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Like in winter, most flowers have withered, but there are still plum blossoms standing proudly in the snow; most leaves have fallen, but there are still pines, bamboos and cypresses standing out from the crowd.
Although some rhizome medicinal herbs are perennial and can be harvested once, some fruit medicinal herbs, such as almonds, plum kernels, and peach kernels, are perennial and can be harvested every year.
While they were talking, Vanilla, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stared at the picture on her book and said, "Hey, I've seen this before."
Jiang Xue quickly handed the book to her: "Which one are you talking about?"
Vanilla pointed at the picture of 'Astragalus' and said, "I remember this thing being near our tribe. I've seen it before."
"Really?" Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and she handed the book to her: "Then tell me, what other pictures have you seen in this book?"
Vanilla was slightly stunned, then took the book and began to read it carefully: "This, this, and this, this, this... I've seen them all."
She ordered more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs in one breath.
Jiang Xue suddenly became excited: "Do you remember where you saw it?"
Vanilla chuckled slightly, but she didn't finish her words. "I've been in the Eagle Tribe for four or five years. I can only look for it based on my memory. I guess... I should be able to find it."
"Okay, then you can go with us to look for herbs tomorrow."
Vanilla was startled: "This..."
She really didn't expect Jiang Xue to say this as soon as she opened her mouth.
Could it be that she forgot how I treated her before?
"Don't hesitate. Everything we do is for the tribe. I don't think you want to see the children of the tribe suffer because of lack of clothes and medicine, right?"
Xiangcao was still hesitating, but Xiaohua was shaking her arm impatiently: "Sister, just listen to Sister Xue and take us to find herbs tomorrow!"
Vanilla was defeated by her and looked at her speechlessly. She reached out and poked her forehead, saying coquettishly, "You! Fine, I'll go with you tomorrow. But I can't guarantee that I can find it."
"Whether we can find it or not is different from whether we go or not." Jiang Xue said with a smile, "Then let's rest early and get up early tomorrow to look for herbs."
Vanilla looked at her, then looked up at the sheep fat candle above her head, and finally couldn't help but said: "Snow Witch, how did you know to use sheep fat to make this thing?"
"You'll understand after seeing it more often." Jiang Xue blew out the candle and lay down. "It's just that we don't have much sheep oil right now, so we have to use it sparingly."
I never thought of using mutton fat to make candles before, so the mutton fat was wasted. But now, I will definitely not be so stupid.
The next morning, Jiang Xue had breakfast, and then she, Xiaohua, and Xiangcao carried backpacks, took the stone medicine hoe they had just made, and took Bailang with them and walked into the woods.
As soon as they disappeared, Ah Cai followed them.
Mu Xin frowned, turned around and told Mu Feng what she had seen.
Mu Feng was not anxious. Instead, he comforted her: "Not to mention there is only one Acai, even ten Acais are no match for Axue, not to mention that Axue has a white wolf by her side. Don't underestimate this white wolf, it is a wolf king. If it hadn't secretly helped us, how could we have easily defeated the Eagle Tribe and rescued you?"
To say that it was easy is not quite the right word. They simply destroyed the Eagle Tribe's nest without even a single soldier being deployed.
Mu Xin was still worried: "How about I go over and take a look?"
"No, too many people will affect Ah Xue's performance. Just wait and see, Ah Cai will definitely come back to me crying with a bruised face."
Mu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching Ah Cai walk away. If nothing unexpected happened, a beating would be the least of his problems. He was worried that Jiang Xue would get angry, or that Bai Lang would protect his master and kill Ah Cai outright.
This woman is really like a birthday star hanging herself - she thinks her life is too long!
As soon as Jiang Xue left, Mu Feng began directing everyone to chop wood and catch pheasants. Before he could finish arranging things on his side, he saw a group of people slowly approaching the tribe in the snow.
Mu Feng didn't know whether the visitor was an enemy or a friend, so he didn't let anyone go out. He took his men to guard behind the thorn wall, waiting for the other party to arrive.
The people slowly approached, and Ah Er, who was standing at the back of the crowd, suddenly called out, "It's Ah Da! Ah Da from the Bluebird Tribe!" He identified them one by one, and finally, his eyes fell on the young man on the stretcher: "The one lying there is Xiao Dao!"
Knife?
The other people in the tribe didn’t know, but Mufeng and Akagi knew it clearly.
It was at the flea market that Jiang Xue went to see him for treatment.
But Jiang Xue didn't find out the reason at that time, so he let the matter go. They once thought that the Blue Bird Tribe had given up. No one expected that in this cold and snowy weather, the people of the Blue Bird Tribe would actually come to seek medical treatment with knives.
It seems that Xiaodao's condition is getting more and more serious.
Now that they knew who the visitor was, Mu Fengdai and Akagi moved aside the barricades and went up to meet the person.
Everyone welcomed in the people from the Bluebird Tribe, and Mu Xin served them hot water.
Ah Da held the ceramic bowl and took a sip of hot water. Immediately, the scalding water flowed from his mouth to his heart, and he felt relaxed all over.
He held the bowl and drank the water in small sips before saying to Mu Feng, "Clan leader Mu Feng, our young clan leader's health is getting worse day by day. May I ask where the Snow Witch is? Can you ask her to come out and treat the young clan leader?"
Mu Feng told the truth: "To be honest, Snow Witch just went out this morning to look for medicinal herbs, and we don't know when she will be back."
Ah Da frowned: "Even Chief Mu Feng doesn't know when the Snow Witch will return?"
"That's true." Mu Feng and even his clan leader were not good at medicine. If they wanted to treat Xiao Dao, they had to wait until Jiang Xue came back.
"Why don't you wait in the cave for a while, Brother Ada? Maybe the Snow Witch will come back."
They came with a knife to seek medical treatment, but unfortunately, they met the Snow Witch who was out.
They couldn't sit still at all and just kept begging Mu Feng for help.
Mu Feng quickly sent people to look for Jiang Xue, but they followed Jiang Xue's footsteps all the way and found nothing, so they had to return empty-handed.
It was past noon when Jiang Xue and the other two returned from the mountain, carrying their backpacks. Following them was Ah Cai, whose clothes were tattered and her body was covered in wounds.
