When Yuan Zhan came back, Yan Mo had already collected his emotions.
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.
He struggled from nothing to gain both fame and fortune. After the age of thirty, he was used to being praised, flattered, praised, looked up to, and in awe of him. Even in the last period of time in prison, he didn't suffer any hardships. On the contrary, the people around him always took good care of him because of his medical skills.
It is not that he has no chance of escaping death. Although he has offended many people, he has saved many people over the years. Coupled with his excellent medical skills, many people suggested that he should commit crimes and meritorious deeds.
It's just that the treasure he cherishes and cares about the most has disappeared, and his will to survive is no longer very strong. And with his personality, he has been thrown out to top the tank. If he doesn't take revenge and drag everyone into the water, how can he be reconciled
So although he had resentment when he died, it was basically worth it, except that he felt sorry for his son.
But he never thought that he would open his eyes again in another world with his breath, and in order for him to live "well", God gave him a temptation that he absolutely could not refuse.
He quickly realized the cruelty of this world, but even if he was taken back as a slave by the primitive people here, he didn't really feel a sense of crisis. He always felt that with his ability, he wanted to get mixed up in this primitive society. Isn't it an easy thing to be prosperous and admired by thousands of people
He has been looking at these primitive people from above.
In fact, he really regarded himself as an envoy in his heart.
He doesn't even look down on the body he is using now, and only regards it as a tool to hold his soul, so even if he is insulted again and again, he is not particularly sad.
He despised these savages, and even the Guide, as if he had despised the laws of the original world.
But as time passed, the facts told him again and again, so what if he looked down on the people here? Even if he knows much more than the people here, it depends on whether he has the opportunity to pour it out. Before that, it was very easy for others to humiliate him, bully him, and kill him. He didn't even dare to fight, because he was afraid of more pain, afraid that life would be worse than death!
Once a person who was once high and high fell into the dust, and finally realized that everything in the past was just a mirror image, and now everything in the deep quagmire is real, if this psychological gap is replaced by a weaker person, he will be driven crazy Not surprising.
Yan Mo is not crazy, he has become calmer than ever.
After sitting for a while, he pulled out the wristband and prepared to improve it. What he needs now is not a fancy wristband, but a bag that can hold things.
He used to be too stupid, thought he was smart, and thought he was in control of everything. In fact, he was just a self-conscious person who couldn't even eat enough. He thought he was possessed by a godhead, and that the whole world should revolve around him, just pretending to be a criminal!
And he got a deeper understanding of this when he saw Yuan Zhan and the original sculpture next door carrying a pile of fresh meat, and Yuan Zhan came back with a bulging animal skin wrapped in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Yuan Zhan saw the little slave crawling to the door, sitting on the ground trying to light the fire pit.
Yuan Diao nodded to Yuan Zhan, and went straight past them and went back to his tent.
"Light the fire and eat." Thank him for the memory of his body, thank him for his experience of living in the wild, otherwise he wouldn't even know how to make sparks.
Yuan Zhan laughed, kicked him, threw the package at the tent door, took down the stone slab on the water tank, unloaded the fresh meat on his shoulders, and said casually: "Don't be so busy, Kusamachi will go to pick it up every day." Tinder, do you see if she has lit the fire? If it is lit, ask her to send a fire starter."
Kusamachi, who was busy at the door next door, heard his name, raised his head and waved his hand with a smile. He probably saw what Yan Mo was going to do. He poked around in the fire and brought a piece of burning wood.
Yan Mo grabbed two stones and stared blankly at Kuomachi helping him light the fire.
Seeing the two stones in his hand, Kusamachi chuckled, "Oh, smart people do stupid things too. We haven't used stones to start fire for a long time."
He... just had a brain blockage for a while!
After Cao Ding made the fire pit and left, Yan Mo suddenly jumped up and hugged Yuan Zhan's leg, and opened his mouth to bite his calf hard.
Yuan Zhan, who was scooping up cold water, "..."
The eagle who happened to see this scene next door laughed, "Didn't you feed him today? Look at you starving your little slave!"
"Bah!" It was so dirty. Yan Mo wiped his mouth, wanting to see what he could do around him.
Yuan Zhan bent over, picked up the little slave who hadn't grown flesh, carried him to the door of the tent, let him sit on the ground, took out the package in the tent and stuffed it into his arms, "Everything you want is inside. "At the end, he patted his head.
Yan Mo patted Yuan Zhan's hand away and opened the package.
Yuan Zhan looked at his hands, and at the little slave who dared to speak and fight against his master, and suddenly felt that the aura of the little slave sitting there had changed. Of course he didn't understand the word aura, so he felt that the little slave looked different from before he left, as if... wanted to open up
Forget it, looking at it like this seems to be not bad, anyway, he didn't expect this slave to serve him, as long as the other party can warm his nest.
There were a lot of things in the package, including several pieces of small broken skins, a pack of coarse salt, some animal bones, some hard-shelled fruits, two shriveled animal eyes...
Yan Mo picked up the two specially dried eyeballs and shook them, "What do you want this for?"
Yuan Zhan, who dug out the salt and took it away, squatted there handling the fresh meat while replying, "Eat."
"What's so delicious about eyeballs?" Yan Mo's mouth twitched.
"It's the eyeball of Yu Peng. Eating it can make the eyes see farther and see more clearly at night."
"Really?" Yan Mo didn't believe it, he only thought that the people here were superstitious, and he didn't have any knowledge of this thing in his memory, probably he was still young and hadn't been out to touch more beasts yet.
"Haven't eaten?"
"No."
"Me neither. Share one with you."
"… thanks."
"Then let me do it again tonight?"
Veins popped out, "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch me again before you left?"
Yuan Zhan didn't force it, he buried his head in his work and said, "Oh, forget it."
As early as Yan Mo took out the pair of eyeballs, the eagle who was so greedy that he wanted to grab it, hurriedly shouted at the door next door: "Da Da, I will let you do it once, you give me one of Yupeng's eyeballs, Half of it is fine!"
Yuan Zhan got up, grabbed those two eyeballs, stuffed one into his mouth, and squeezed the remaining one, squeezed Yan Mo's mouth and forced it in.
Diao Nan yelled at Brother Yuan Zhanbu from the next door! Kusamachi glanced at the boy enviously, then lowered his head and continued working.
Yan Mo almost spat out!
That eyeball smelled fishy, and there was a psychological response, but seeing the distraught expression of the eagle man next door, Yan Mo resisted the desire to vomit, chewed vigorously, and ate the dried eyeball down.
"Is it delicious?" Yuan Zhan moved his throat, squatted back to his original position, and asked him with his head tilted.
Yan Mo's face was calm, "It's not bad, it's quite tenacious when chewed."
"Generally, the eyeballs are soaked in water, but Yu Peng's is different."
"Oh." A wave of disgust rose up, Yan Mo endured, endured, and accepted it, eating this thing is better than eating human flesh.
There was a small package inside the big package, and when he opened it, Yan Mo almost cursed.
"This is the herbal medicine you brought back to me?" Yan Mo looked at the withered or rotting plants, touched one of them, and almost vomited blood in distress.
Yuan Zhan looked at it with a hook, nodded, "Yes, it's all there, do you think there is anything that can be used?"
Yan Mo grabbed the few plants that were almost unusable and wanted to smash them on the young man's face, "Why didn't you wrap some soil on their roots when you brought them back? Even if you are afraid of trouble, you can dry their stems, leaves and roots and separate them Put it in place, but you just knead and knead it all into a ball... "
"You didn't tell me how to get it." It took the boss a lot of effort to find it, and the things he brought back in a separate package were turned out to be disgusting, and Yuan Zhan was not happy.
This is common sense! Well, that's not common sense, at least not to the people here.
Yan Mo knew that he had made the mistake of taking it for granted. When he said it at the beginning, he thought that it was the same as what he had told Yao Nong or the mountain people before. As long as he gave them a clear picture, as long as the thing really existed in the local area, Yao Nong and the mountain people would do nothing. To be able to find and bring back the wild herbs he wanted, he didn't need to instruct them how to deal with them, even those people were more sophisticated than him in handling herbs.
But Yuan Zhan is not one of those experienced herb collectors, maybe he doesn't even have the concept of herb collection.
You can't criticize, but praise and encourage. Think about how you taught students in the past, especially those stupid students.
"It's because I didn't explain it clearly. You are not to blame for this matter, and you didn't make a trip in vain. I'm not sure about these plants and others, but I will definitely not admit this one. As long as this one plant, you I can forgive all mistakes." Yan Mo said the last sentence in a relatively low voice.
As he spoke, he grabbed a rotting plant from the package and asked, "Where did you pick this plant? Is it far away from the tribe? Is there any danger around?"
As a second-level soldier with sharp eyes and ears, Yuan Zhan naturally heard Yan Mo's last words, and he didn't mind, he just asked, "What is this? What is it for? It can also heal illnesses and injuries?"
Yan Mo caressed the plant, and said with respect in his eyes: "This is licorice, the elder of the country among medicinal herbs, and even praised as the king of all medicinal herbs, er, it means that its status is equivalent to that of priests among medicinal herbs. All prescriptions use it."
"So powerful?" Yuan Zhan was surprised, and then became happy, "The licorice you mentioned grows two days away from the tribe, and there is no danger around it. There is a large area on the grassland, which grows mixed with other weeds. But it's not difficult to recognize."
"Do you remember the place?"
"Remember." Yuan Zhan nodded affirmatively.
"Great!" Yan Mo broke off a piece of root that was still intact and stuffed it into his mouth. The familiar sweet taste immediately filled his mouth. He looked at Maotou's owner, beckoned him to come over, and stuffed a piece for him too. , "Chew, spit out the dregs."
The sweetness of licorice root is different from honey, with the unique fragrance and slight stimulation of plants, but for Yuan Zhan who rarely eats sweet things, this level of sweetness is enough to make his eyes widen.
"Sweet! Delicious!" The vicious-looking young man smiled purely and happily, Yan Mo asked him to vomit the scum, but he didn't spit it out, and just swallowed it. He didn't expect that the weeds he randomly dug up according to the painting turned out to be sweet! Had he known it earlier, he would have dug some more and came back.
"Don't eat too much, it's not food, it's medicine." Licorice root can be taken directly. "You can chew it when you have a cough or sore throat. Don't eat it as candy at ordinary times."
"sugar?"
"When I get it out in the future, I'll starve you to death! Then you won't feel the taste of licorice is good."
Yuan Zhan couldn't help but search for the rest of the licorice in the package, Yan Mo slapped his hand away, "The only useful licorice is the roots and stems, the leaves are useless, don't eat them randomly. But you can put a little when cooking, Licorice can also be used as a seasoning."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhan immediately said: "No barbecue tonight, let's cook the meat!"
"Actually, you can also make barbecue, but it will taste better if you marinate the meat first and then grill it." The joy of finding licorice made Yan Mo also interested, "Let's eat it differently tonight!"
Yuan Zhan, who was also very excited at first, changed his mind temporarily after glancing around, "No, let's stay the same. You put away the usable parts and use them later."
Yan Mo immediately understood what he meant, and suddenly felt a little strange, this big boy who has not yet grown up in modern society is actually more cautious than him, but it is true, who said that primitive people are careless and careless? If that's the case, there won't be so much summarizing experience in the future for human beings.
"Then... while it's still bright, I'll show you your legs first. There's no rush to eat." Yan Mo put down the package and said. He thought, maybe he can show the golden needle in front of this young man, after all, if he wants to use it in the future, it is impossible to hide it from the other party.
But he had to think about how to explain the origin of this set of gold needles and where he had hidden them before.
"No, not for now."
What? !
