Chapter 220

At this time, Xu Yi spoke at the right time: "The patriarch doesn't need to worry about accommodation. There is a tent on the car. We can just set up a tent outside the house."

"...How can this be done?" The patriarch was embarrassed. He really wanted to Let the guest figure out for himself where to put his face as the patriarch.

Erqing and Axu had quick eyes and quick hands. As soon as Xu Yi told them, they went to pull the donkey cart over.

Adhuo'er, who was squatting on a stool and leaning on his head to look at them, looked up at the carriage with his little face raised.

The next moment, a chubby raccoon slave emerged from the carriage.

"Meow~"

Tiger King, who had been hiding in the carriage for so long, stretched out his limbs and jumped vigorously, and came to Xu Yi and Yan Quyue. His flexible tail hooked their legs and he arched his body to rub against them.

Adhuoer stood up in shock: "Is that a civet cat?"

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a yellow, Xumi, and a big yellow dog emerged from the carriage again.

The dog barked twice, jumped out of the car, came to Xu Yi's feet and lay down.

The sudden change shocked both Adhuo'er and the clan leader.

The patriarch clicked his tongue in amazement and asked with a smile: "This... was raised by Dr. Xu?"

Xu Yi replied: "This dog is called Xiao Huang, and this raccoon slave is called Tiger Overlord. They are very docile, don't bite, and don't do anything. Destruction."

The implication is that they will not harass the things grown in the mountains and the livestock raised.

After understanding Xu Yi's words, the clan leader felt more at ease.

Adhuo'er came over nervously and asked softly: "Can I touch it?" He pointed towards Tiger Overlord.

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, and Yan Quyue next to him said with a smile: "Of course you can, but you are not familiar with it, so it has to be held by me before it is willing."

Adhuo'er lowered his eyes, wanting to touch them. The desire is not diminished at all.

He thought for a while and said: "If you hold it and let me touch it, the teacher's house will be let to you."

The patriarch: "..."

Others: "..."

Xu Yi chuckled: "Look You seem to like the civet cat very much?"

Adhuo'er tightened his lips and didn't want to admit it, but his hands felt itchy looking at the chubby civet cat.

I thought silently in my mind, just to let them stay for a while and tell them not to touch the teacher's jar, and the contents inside would not escape.

After thinking clearly, Adhuo'er said: "Teacher's house is very big. It can accommodate all of you, so there is no need to set up a tent."

Xu Yi picked up Tiger King and motioned for Adhuo'er to come over, and Adhuo'er followed the instructions , try the same method. Sure enough, Tiger King obediently patted his head for a while. But no more, and it won’t work. He will raise his head and look away, preventing him from touching him any more.

Adhuoer got what he wanted, but was a little unsatisfied, and kept his eyes on it.

Xu Yi smiled and said: "Tiger Overlord loves to eat dried meat. If you have dried meat, he will follow you."

Adhuo'er's eyes lit up: "I have five poisonous dried meats, can it be eaten?"

Xu Yi: " …”

The five poisons refer to centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. It's not that cats can't eat these things, but if Tiger King eats these things, Yan Quyue will go crazy.

He coughed twice and asked: "Besides this, are there any other dried meat? The kind that people can eat."

Adhuoer said shyly: "I don't have anything else."

Xu Yi looked at his young appearance and thought of it. In the previous Erqing, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have dried meat."

"I can trade you something." Adhuoer read out each word.

He was a witch doctor, and the tribesmen came to him for medical treatment or for taking insect repellent powder in exchange for things.

There is no shortage of food and supplies in Adhuo'er's house, which is filled with many things, but dried meat is a rare item and not everyone has it.

Even he can only eat meat occasionally.

He quickly brought out some dried five poisons, placed them on the cloth, and let Xu Yi choose.

Xu Yi's eyes fell on the gecko. This gecko is also called gecko and is a very good Chinese medicinal material. Ancient people often thought that the gecko was poisonous all over its body and could not eat any food it crawled on, so they avoided the five poisons.

But among witch doctors, five poisons are used to treat diseases.

This also leads to the fact that witch doctors are very scary existences in the eyes of many people. They can use poison, use witchcraft, and communicate with ghosts and gods. They are full of mystery, and the unknown is scary. At this time, they will stay away from witch doctors.

Only the people of the tribe who often interacted with the witch doctors, while respecting the witch doctors, weakened their fear.

Adhuoer thought that these people would be afraid of them as the teacher said.

In fact, when this doctor from Sichuan saw what he took out, his eyes stopped on the palace guard.

"You want this?" Adhuoer felt something keenly.

Xu Yi nodded, held the gecko's tail in front of his eyes, and asked him, "Can you give me this?"

Adhuo'er was surprised that he was not afraid, and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that the gecko is poisonous?"

Xu Yi did not answer. Instead, he posed the question to the brother and sister.

The brother and sister took a step forward, and A Xu answered seriously: "This thing is poisonous, but not all of it is poisonous."

A Jin continued: "The gecko in Lang Jun's hand should be poisonous, but it is not very toxic. It’s done, it’s okay to hold it in your hand.”

Adhuoer looked at them blankly.

"You all know medicine?"

"My brother and I have both studied medicine under Lang Jun's knees for several years, so we know something about it."

Hearing this answer, Adhuoer lowered his head in silence.

Even the follower has been studying medicine longer than him, so he, the witch doctor, really doesn't look intimidating at all.

But the clan leader was so happy that he hurriedly asked several clan members to clean the house.

Xu Yi refused.

Since this room contains Dr. Witch's old things, it's best not to be broken into.

He called his brother and sister to clean out the two rooms inside, and took out a box from the carriage. Inside was the dried meat they baked for Xiao Huang and Tiger King to eat on the way.

Xu Yi handed out a pack of dried meat to Adhuoer.

Adhuoer got the dried meat, swept away his previous depression, and happily ran to feed the Tiger King.

Sure enough, with the dried meat still there, Tiger King jumped down from Yan Quyue's arms and gracefully came to Adhuo'er.

Seeing Tiger King getting close to Adhuo'er, Xu Yi and Yan Quyue looked at each other and smiled, no longer focusing on Adhuo'er, and the group unloaded the luggage from the car with familiarity and speed.

...

Night falls, and torches are lit in the mountains.

The bright red sparks on the torch swayed in the wind, making a hunting sound.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the valley. During the day, Xu Yi and the others only wore thin clothes. At this time, they wore cloaks outside.

The gorge people wore an animal skin outside their clothes. When it was cold, they wrapped the animal skin around and gathered around the bonfire to cook tonight's dinner.

Because there are guests, the meal today is very rich, with freshly slaughtered pheasants boiling in the pot. The feathers of the pheasant will be plucked, washed and dried to make beautiful feather hats. When worshiping the mountain god, the elders of the tribe will wear tall rooster combs to preside over the worship ceremony.

Only pheasants were not enough. The people in the gorge were short of food, so they exchanged salt and xidongman for food.

This food is very precious. On weekdays, they cook it mixed with wild vegetables and leaves.

In order to entertain the new guests today, the clan leader ordered that only fragrant rice and bean sprouts be cooked.

That is beans and rice.

Adroer and Xu Yi sat together, and he saw Xu Yi handing the food he brought to the clan leader.

The clan leader was surprised to open the package and found a bag of dried rabbit meat weighing two kilograms.

Different from the jerky for Tiger King, this rabbit jerky is smoked with spices and has a strong aroma, mixed with meaty and spicy taste.

Put the dried rabbit meat in a pottery urn and cook it. Within a moment, the aroma wafted into the air and lingered around the campfire.

The aroma stimulates people's taste buds and makes their mouths salivate.

"Grandma, it's meat." There was a child lying in Grandma's arms, his eyes wide open.

Grandma had a smile on her old face and nodded to him.

It's meat...

it's so fragrant!

Let alone children, the elders of the clan rarely smell such fragrant meat.

"Child, this is a gift from the mountain god." Grandma touched the child's head with her old hands and held him tightly in her arms.

*

After taking out the dried rabbit meat, Xu Yi did not take out anything more.

When dinner was ready, he, Yan Quyue and others enjoyed the warm meal.

After eating, they followed Adhuo'er outside the old witch doctor's house. Adhuo'er stopped and asked him: "Can the Tiger King accompany me tonight?"

"It may not want to." Xu Yi replied he.

Adhuoer was a little disappointed because just now, after he finished feeding him the dried meat, Tiger King stopped playing with him.

The next morning everyone woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. Xu Yi put on his clothes and went outside the house. He saw young gorge people spreading chopped grass to feed the pheasants.

Seeing him coming, the young gorge man stopped shyly and said hello: "Doctor Xu."

"You usually get up very early?" Xu Yi asked him in surprise.

This gorge man, who was no more than two years older than Adhuoer, nodded his head innocently.

"Grandma said that after feeding the chickens, she has to go to the mountains to cut goat grass."

As soon as the golden-red sun slowly rose from the cliff, the gorge residents began their daily business.

Elderly people and children will stay in the mountains to feed chickens and sheep, water the vegetables planted beside the house, and weave fishing baskets.

The young gorge residents, who were a few years older, had already rushed to the foot of the gorge, carrying baskets on their backs, where bamboo fishing rafts were docked.

These gorge people will take the fish they catch to surrounding towns and sell them, and the money they earn is exchanged for food, cloth and daily necessities.

Xu Yi came to the river bank. The river below was surging. The small bamboo raft was as small as a dead leaf on the winding river surface.

It seemed as if he would be beaten and tossed by Jiang Tao at any time and disappear from sight.

If you want to fish on such a dangerous river, you need rich experience in punting and fishing skills.

There are only a few gorge people here who are qualified to fish.

At this time, Yan Quyue was simply washing up in the room. She came out of the room and her eyes fell to the side.

In the next room, there was a "dong dong dong" hitting sound.

Yan Quyue followed the sound and saw Adhuo'er pounding something green and sticky with a stone.

"Hello, Adhuo'er." She chuckled.

Adhuoer raised his head and blinked: "You are Doctor Xu's wife."

Yan Quyue arched her eyebrows: "Yes."

Adhuoer asked curiously: "Then do you know medical skills?"

"I don't Yes." Yan Quyue walked up to him and sat casually on the floor in front of him. "Not everyone can learn medical skills. It is difficult for me."

"Then do you know when he learned it? "Azhuo'er asked.

Yan Quyue said: "When I met him, he was already a very powerful doctor. He treated many people. It can be said that there was almost no disease that he could not cure."

Adhuoer tilted his head, obviously He didn't believe it: "There are many venomous snakes and insects here. People in the tribe are often bitten to death. Even the teacher can't save them."

In his opinion, the old witch doctor is the most powerful.

Of course Xu Yi couldn't save people who even he couldn't save.

Yan Quyue thought and smiled and said: "I don't know, this may be difficult, but I believe he will find a way."

Adhuoer didn't quite understand, but he closed his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

The next moment, Yan Quyue turned to look out the door.

She stood up and said with a smile: "Come back so early?"

Xu Yi walked over and came to Yan Quyue's side. He chuckled and said: "I saw that they have gone down to the river. There are several wooden houses here. Make a fire for breakfast, then come back and tell A Xu to get ready too. "

Yan Quyue smiled mischievously: "Axu has always been active in cooking. I wonder if Adhuo'er would like to eat with us?"

"Me?" Adhuo'er looked up in confusion, shook his head and said, "I can cook myself. "

Xu Yi said, "Axu makes soup cakes."

Adhuoer wanted to say that he didn't like soup cakes, but there was a strong smell of wheat coming from outside.

He swallowed back the words "I don't like to eat" and asked with a straight face: "Do I need to exchange anything to eat your soup cake?" Xu Yi

asked him with a wicked smile: "Do you want to exchange it?"

Zhuo Er: "..."

It's not that he doesn't want to change, but he doesn't have much left to do with the Five Poisons. If he continues to change, he will go to the mountains to find live Five Poisons.

"Can I have salt?" He had salt in his hand.

Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't need salt."

As he said that, he suddenly asked: "What are you doing? If you tell me what this is and what it is for, I can trade it with you for soup cakes."

"Seriously? "Azhuo'er has never seen such a request.

"Seriously." Xu Yi said firmly.

Adhuo'er said: "This is a poisonous mushroom. I don't know its name. My teacher taught me that I just need to crush them and put them in a jar. After a few days, they can be used. "

Speaking of this, he got up and went into the house. In the dark room, he took out a sealed clay pot.

Adzhuoer opened the pottery seal on it, took a small wooden spoon and dug out a little bit.

"When you go into the mountains, smear it on your knife and stick, and you won't be afraid of things on the mountain."

"Use it to kill poisonous snakes?" Xu Yi quickly thought of this.

Adhuo'er's eyes lit up: "Yes, it can also kill people. But the teacher said you can't use it to kill people."

Xu Yi laughed. It seemed that this old witch doctor whom he had never met before was a very good teacher.

It's a pity that he died unexpectedly before he could properly teach Adhuo'er.

This poison should not be touched casually. Even Adhuoer sealed it well after showing it to Xu Yi.

He told Xu Yi that he would give the poison ointment to his tribe only when they wanted to go up the mountain.

"The teacher said that this thing is very scary. If you put it in a water tank, it can poison us all." Adhuo'er recalled the cold look on the old witch doctor's face when he said this, and also thought of the people who used it. The scene of cutting a poisonous snake with a knife and the snake dying quickly left me with lingering fear.

Xu Yi said sternly: "Your teacher is right. If possible, it is better not to touch such poisonous substances."

Adhuoer curled his lips depressedly: "Besides it, I don't know what else can kill poisonous snakes."
