Chapter 245 Approaching the South
Su Ying shook her head, "How is your father?"
Zhang Shulun said: "Thanks to the Orange Protector, Afu's wounds have been treated and he has just woken up."
Su Ying nodded, "Where is Orange Guardian?"
"The Orange Guardian had been helping the tribe members with their medical treatment and only rested when daybreak came."
Su Ying didn't expect that Protector Orange's medical skills were so reliable. She followed Zhang Shulun to the house of clan leader Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping had already woken up and was leaning weakly on the bed. He had heard what Su Ying, Zhang Shulun and Su Ying had said in the yard just now, and he knew that Su Ying was the benefactor who saved him and his clansmen.
"Our Lady..."
"You can call me City Lord Su." She was somewhat resistant to the title of Holy Mother.
"Thank you, Lord Su, for saving my life."
Su Ying walked to the bedside and felt his pulse. It was weak, but his heart pulse was still strong. The wounds on his body had been bandaged, so she did not check them.
"It's good to be alive."
As soon as Su Ying said this, both the father and son's eyes turned red. This time the tribe had encountered a great disaster. When Su Ying arrived, those people had already massacred people in the tribe. It was unknown how many tribesmen had died.
Fortunately, those people had evil intentions towards the women of the tribe and did not kill them immediately. Later, Su Ying arrived and rescued the captured women from the hands of those evil people.
"I heard that City Lord Su came here to buy medicinal herbs."
"right."
"I've asked them to sort out the herbs. City Lord Su can take whatever you want."
"You ask them to mark the types of all the herbs, and I will give them to you at the previous price."
"How can we ask City Lord Su for money? You are our savior, so the herbs are just a thank you gift to you."
Su Ying had heard from the people of the Xingluo tribe that because they were people living outside of any country, they had no one to back them up and could only rely on growing medicinal herbs to maintain their daily lives.
Merchants who came to buy their business saw that they had no one to back them up, so they offered very low prices, which could only allow them to barely make ends meet.
If Su Yingbai took away this batch of medicinal herbs, they would probably not even have food to eat before the grain harvest next spring. People would starve to death. Who would come to grow medicinal herbs?
"Here you go, just take it."
Seeing Su Ying's insistence, Zhang Ping didn't know what to say. Their current situation did not allow them to live without money. Many men in the tribe had been killed, and the labor force was reduced by half. They were afraid that next year would be difficult.
Su Ying took out two lists from her body, one of which contained the medicinal materials that Tiankui City had purchased here before, and the other contained the medicinal materials she wanted.
"Patriarch Zhang, take a look. Can you grow these herbs here?"
Chief Zhang took the list and looked at it. "Some of these can be grown, but some can't. It's cold and damp here, and some medicinal seedlings can't survive here."
"Tell me which ones can be planted."
Chief Zhang asked Zhang Shulun to get a pen and circle the plants that could be planted.
Su Ying also asked them to clearly mark the months of planting so that she could get the medicinal seeds or seedlings according to the times indicated.
When Su Ying finished talking with Patriarch Zhang, Protector Orange had already woken up. When he learned that Su Ying had returned, he rushed over immediately.
"City Lord."
"kindness."
"Does the city lord want to visit other tribes?" asked the Orange Guardian.
Zhang Clan's Zhang heard Su Ying say this and continued, "Lord Su, do you still want to go to other tribes to buy medicinal herbs? You don't have to make a special trip in this icy and snowy place. I'll send a message to those tribes and ask them to send the herbs to you."
Su Ying thought this was a good idea. She could ask their person in charge to come over and she could explain the situation to them directly.
"good."
There are about ten tribes in this area. In order to avoid conflicts between tribes, they privately agreed that the medicinal herbs planted by each tribe cannot be repeated. In this way, there will be no exchanges of interests between tribes, it will be less likely to have conflicts, and it will be more conducive to unity among tribes.
After all, they had no backing, and tribes still had to help each other. It was just that that group of southerners came too suddenly, and before they had time to ask other tribes for support, Su Ying appeared.
Su Ying came here mainly to understand the terrain here and the area where the tribe is located, and to inquire about the planting conditions of some medicinal herbs. Apart from that, she had another purpose, which had nothing to do with the tribe.
Chief Zhang sent someone to notify people from other tribes, and while they were waiting, he arranged for Su Ying to stay temporarily in his home.
Most people in the tribe are very hardworking and help each other, so every household has a shelter from the wind and rain.
There was also an vacant house in the patriarch's house, and Su Ying lived there temporarily before people from other tribes arrived.
At night, Zhang Shulun's mother killed a chicken for Su Ying and made a wild vegetable and egg soup. The soup was made with fresh cabbage, fried eggs, and a bowl of pickled mustard greens and meat.
There weren't many dishes, but they were the best they could offer.
After Aunt Zhang prepared the meal, she brought it directly to Su Ying's room.
"City Lord Su, please eat. There is still white rice in the pot. If it is not enough, just let me know and I will serve you more."
Su Ying glanced at the food on the small table and asked, "Are they all mine?"
"Yes, yes, we have more in the pot, just eat as much as you want."
Su Ying could feel their kindness, and she was generally not polite about such things.
"Thank you very much."
"No thanks, no thanks. It is our blessing to be able to repay City Lord Su." Aunt Zhang was afraid that Su Ying would feel uncomfortable if she was in the room, so she put the food away and left the room.
Su Ying was indeed not polite. She ate all four dishes without leaving any, and also finished half of the other person's rice.
She has been eating dry food these days and has been craving the meals made by Uncle He and the others. Although she can't eat them now, it would be nice to have a bite of hot food.
After eating and drinking, Su Ying took out the map given to her by Patriarch Zhang.
This was a map of the northern wilderness, more detailed than any she had ever seen before.
Looking at the markings on the map, she realized that behind the Tiankui City, in the direction of the tribe, was another border of the Southern Kingdom. The area in the direction of the entrance to the Northern Wilderness was the southern border of the Southern Kingdom, and this side was the western border.
From this we can see how big this northern wilderness is. It actually divides one quarter of a country from the front to the back.
Moreover, there is not only this tribe here, but also countless ethnic groups of all sizes distributed in other places.
