Primal Orc 25 Rescue
This time, Xie Yunsui brought not only clay pots, charcoal and dried vegetables, but also several bamboo baskets filled with many other things.
"Bamboo baskets allow Asians to carry them when they go out to pick fruits. They are easy to clean; just soak them in water, unlike wrapping them in animal skins, which requires repeated washing."
"Bamboo baskets can be used to dry grass, leaves, and fruits. After they've been dehydrated, they're easier to store. They're also great for drying meat."
"This is a bow, used with arrows. It can be used by both orcs and demihumans. With good aim, it can be used for hunting. It's also very simple to make. Once you find the materials, you can imitate it yourself."
Xie Yunsui introduced them one by one with great passion, and Hu Yue's expression became strange as he listened.
"Wait, Priest Yun," Hu Yue interrupted, "We don't have any more salt grains to exchange."
"This is not for exchanging salt grains with you."
Xie Yunsui had the items placed in the cave at the trading site, saying, "These things won't spoil if left alone. I'd like to keep them here. I hope that when Chief Hu Yue receives the various tribes later, he'll show them these things and explain how to use them, in case another tribe wants them."
Apart from anything else, Xie Yunsui felt that the Herbivorous Tribal Alliance would like bamboo items very much.
Hu Yue immediately understood: "You want to use these things to exchange for goods with other tribes?"
He is so smart! All tribes have to come to him to exchange salt. If they leave their goods here, they don’t have to go through so much trouble to other tribes.
Because the Big Bear Tribe was provoking and snatching wild animals everywhere, the relationship between other tribes in the Western Continent was still relatively tense.
"yes."
While dinner was still being prepared and there was nothing else to do, Xie Yunsui discussed the prospects of the trading venue with Hu Yue.
It's rare to have a place like this where all tribes can interact. It would be a waste to just use it to trade salt grains.
The people of the Red Fox Tribe are intelligent, as can be seen from the fact that Fox Jiao can be both a technician and a salesperson. It would be a waste of their talent to let the Red Fox people do physical work that they are not suited to.
Xie Yunsui hopes that they can make good use of their strengths and run this place well.
"Market?" It was the first time Hu Yue heard such a word.
"Outside the Western Continent, the market there is already quite large." Xie Yunsui spoke without hesitation, confident that no one would refute him. "Generally speaking, each tribe has more than they can use. Instead of wasting them, they should exchange them for things they don't have, just like you're exchanging salt grains."
Hu Yue seemed to be lost in thought.
Xie Yunsui continued, "We actually wasted a lot of manpower making dried vegetables. If we had used all that energy to make charcoal, we would have been able to get more than this amount of charcoal this time."
"With more charcoal, you and other tribes won't need as much wood. Then other tribes can spend less time cutting wood and use it to hunt and make dried meat to trade with you, so you'll have more food to eat."
"Some tribes, like you, aren't good at cutting wood. For example, the herbivorous tribes might be better suited to making dried vegetables."
Hu Yue followed his train of thought and said, "The herbivorous tribe lives on a vast grassland full of grass, leaves, and fruits. Aside from the snowy season, there's an endless supply of food in the other three seasons. Much of it spoils before it's picked, so it's quite convenient for them to make dried vegetables."
If they could free their hands and not spend so much effort to cut wood to exchange for salt, they could pick as much as possible, make more dried vegetables, and supply other tribes without any problem.
But it is absolutely impossible to let the herbivorous orcs go to other tribes to trade. This shows the necessity of the "market".
The Red Fox Tribe has been trading with other tribes for many years and has its own reputation. They are in charge of the market and help sell to other tribes, which is both convenient and reassuring.
Hu Yue's eyes lit up more and more. They couldn't work for nothing, but as long as they took a small portion of the items that each tribe used to sell, and accumulated them, it meant that their tribe would also have countless items...
Xie Yunsui mentioned this, and seeing that Hu Yue was concerned, he stopped talking.
With the intelligence of the Red Fox people, as long as they want to, they can quickly create a market that suits the current social environment. No matter how detailed he describes it, it may not be suitable for the current environment.
When it comes to being familiar with the various tribes in the Western Continent, Red Fox is the best.
Xier lay beside Xie Yunsui and listened to the whole thing. He seemed to have a hazy feeling in his heart.
The emergence of a market may bring different changes to Western Continent.
He looked up and licked his partner's hand.
Hehe, his demi-humans are just amazing and know everything!
Even the smartest red fox chief listens to him!
“Gulp gulp…”
The red fox tribe used the newly bought clay pot to cook soup, and soon bubbles appeared. Fox Yue came to his senses and was about to serve a bowl to Priest Yun when he saw a little fox crawling towards him outside.
"Chief! It's bad! Yue Lai was hit by a tree and he's going to die!"
Before Xie Yunsui came with charcoal today, the Red Foxes had already used up the previous batch of charcoal. In order to speed up the removal of salt particles, they used wood again.
Since the wood brought by other tribes was not enough, Hu Yue asked more than 20 tribesmen to form a felling team to cut down a few large trees. Yue Lai was one of the members of the felling team.
The red foxes are relatively slender and lack strength. Unlike the wolf beastmen who can dig out a large tree with the bite force of their teeth and the tearing ability of their claws, they usually chop trees in an orderly manner with stone axes.
You don't need to cut down the entire tree. Just cut half of it at a tilted angle. Then use vines to grab the upper half of the tree and pull it hard towards the gap, and the tree will fall down.
But there is a flaw. If the orcs being pulled down cannot escape in time, they will be crushed by the huge trees.
When Hu Yue arrived at the scene, he saw that the top of the tree was pressing down on Yue Lai's legs. Yue Lai was pale and breathing weakly, and it looked like he was going to die soon.
The trunk of the huge fir tree was as strong as three Yuelai's, and it fell down with a loud bang. The impact was enough to crush any powerful orc.
With such an injury, let alone going to the Golden Tiger Tribe to seek treatment from the priests, he might die on the way there.
No, priest! Doesn't their tribe have one?
"Hurry, hurry! Drag him out! No, go to the tribe and find the wolf orcs to help lift the tree away! Quick!"
Xie Yunsui came with Lang Feng and the others. After the wolf beastmen helped lift the big tree away, the agile red fox people were about to carry Yue Lai away.
He hurriedly said, "Don't move. Langfeng, move the tree to the side. No one should touch Yuelai."
Although Xie Yunsui was not a professional doctor, after so many lifetimes, he knew that if Yue Lai moved around too much, the injury might worsen.
Yue Lai's legs were crushed, and the two legs under the animal skin were already swollen and black and purple, obviously broken.
There was blood on his lips. Perhaps the impact had shaken his internal organs, causing internal injuries that were invisible to the naked eye.
I opened Yuelai's eyelids and saw that her pupils gradually dilated. She couldn't wait to be brought back to the tribe.
"Bring the fire and the clay pot over here. I'm going to boil some herbal juice here. Hu Yue, take someone to pick up some grass leaves nearby..."
Xie Yunsui mobilized the people around him and listed several kinds of grass leaves one by one, all of which can be found everywhere and can stop bleeding and replenish qi.
Most grass leaves are not only edible but also have certain medicinal properties.
Orcs and demihumans eat these all year round to keep their bodies healthy and strong, but they don't know what the specific uses of these grass leaves are.
Xie Yunsui also found some according to his previous experience, but when boiling the herbal juice, he secretly added some finished medicines.
Herbal juices are useful, but adding medicine is safer.
Xie Yunsui only wanted to regain Yue Lai's confidence first.
Hu Yue took the herbal juice and took the initiative to feed Yue Lai the medicine. After waiting for a while, Yue Lai did not wake up, but her breathing became a little heavier, which was much better than the half-dead look just now.
After making sure that Yue Lai would not die if touched, Xie Yunsui asked someone to prepare a flat wooden board and carry Yue Lai back to the tribe.
"Can he survive?"
"Poor Yuelai! He was planning to find a partner during this year's snow season."
"Even if he survives, his legs won't be able to move, he won't be able to do anything, and he might want to die after waking up."
Hu Yue felt heavy in his heart as he listened to the words of several tribesmen behind him.
At first, they wanted to save their fellow tribesmen. No leader would be willing to see their tribe’s population reduced.
But the tribe also has its own difficulties. If one laborer is missing, there will be less work to do, but the person still needs to eat, and if he cannot walk, someone needs to take care of him.
If it was before the snow season, Hu Yue would rather watch Yue Lai die than let anyone save him.
Now that he had calmed down, he thought more about it and began to wonder whether this treatment was necessary.
He was not the only one who thought so. Lang Feng, the former wolf leader, had the same idea when he saw Yue Lai's legs.
Xie Yunsui finished the palpation and looked up to see everyone's sad faces. He couldn't help but say, "You don't want me to take you back."
Hu Yue's anguish instantly vanished: "...Why are you still trying to steal someone?"
Lang Feng then remembered that they were all people unwanted by the tribe, and were left in the abandoned valley to die, but weren't they all rescued?
Everyone was eating and drinking well, and almost forgot how desperate they once were.
Xie Yunsui said calmly, "We are very short of people in the valley."
"But he won't be able to walk anymore."
"I can cure it. After the cure, I won't be able to run and jump like before, but I'll be able to walk normally."
Xier, who had just transformed into a humanoid to help Xie Yunsui carry things, nodded and said, "Even if you can't walk, you still have your hands to use. In our valley, you can do a lot of work with your hands."
The wolf beastmen nodded silently.
Look at those demihumans in their valley. They rub their hands so hard that sparks come out every night. They are so busy that they wish they had two more pairs of hands.
The oldest Zuyang was too tired to weave bamboo baskets, so he made some meat soup for everyone, and even rubbed the wool yarn a few times while the soup was cooking.
Hu Yue: “…”
