The three of Ramon are not as afraid of fire as little Laruo. They have occasionally seen forests that were struck by lightning and burned. There are also descriptions of fire in the family, so although they are very curious about human fire, they also know that it is a kind of fire. A very common thing.
They were not used to eating mutton pot at first, because they had never eaten food with such a strong taste, and it was also the first time for them to eat mutton.
Seeing that they were not used to mutton pot, Yan Mo changed to grilled fish.
Sure enough, when the grilled fish was changed this time, the three handsome mermaids all stared at Yan Mo's hands, watching him use extremely skilled techniques to dissect the fish, remove the scales, wash the fish, and smear the fish with seasoning.
Seeing the scalpel, the three of Ramon were curious about its shape, but not its material.
Yan Mo had discovered before that the material of the three harpoons used by the three of Ramon seemed to be similar to his scalpel, but unlike his scalpel which was perfectly refined and shaped, the three harpoons looked like some It is made of a large fish bone and fish bone. But are fish bones and fish bones so sharp and hard
With rich vocabulary, fluent language, and weapons that seem to use special manufacturing methods, the mermaid race seems to be better developed than ordinary humans, at least much better than they are now.
It seems that the tribe really has to speed up its development. Showing weakness for a while can attract sympathy, but if it remains weak for a long time, it is extremely easy to be underestimated and controlled. What he needed was an ally, not a master for himself.
The four grilled fish happened to be one for each person, but Yan Mo had only eaten half of it when he saw the other handsome three mermaids had already finished their portion and were staring at the one in his hand.
"No wonder La Ruo comes here every day to hang out with those two human cubs, it turns out..." Ramon muttered.
Devon asked Yan Mo enthusiastically: "Do you want to eat fruit? Do you want to eat more fish? From now on, you come every day, we will give you fish, a lot of fish, can you bake it for us?"
Simon had already plunged into the lake, and saw several fish being thrown ashore one after another in a short while.
Dai Wen quickly brought all the fish over, and presented them to Yan Mo obsequiously, "Eat the fish, eat the fish."
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth twitched, he didn't want to be a chef, and he didn't intend to let these mermaids eat all at once, he deliberately looked up at the sky, with an anxious expression on his face, "Sorry, I still have something to do in the tribe , I have to go back."
"Ah?" The three mermaids expressed their disappointment together, "Can't we play for a while? Let's pick some fruit for you to eat."
Yan Mo shook his head, "Next time, I really have to go back." It's not that he's lying, it's already noon, and Big Eyes and the others are probably coming soon, and he doesn't want to be exposed as a priest by the children right now .
"When next time? Tomorrow?" Ramon asked.
"Three days later, I will come over at the same time as today." Yan Mo smiled in his heart when he saw the disappointment in the eyes of the three mermaids. Three days is enough time for them to miss him, but they won't forget him.
Before he left, he left behind a small packet of coarse salt about three taels in weight.
"This is a specialty of our tribe, and only our tribe can refine it. Spread it on the food and add it to the soup to make the food taste good. How much you add depends on your personal taste. You saw me grilling fish just now. Just sprinkle Just a little bit."
Ramon took the small bag of coarse salt carefully, because he heard from the boy that this thing would melt in water, so he planned to put it in the swim bladder and bring it back.
"I'll give you all these fish." Simon piled all six fat fish to Yan Mo's side.
Yan Mo was also polite, untied the straw ropes he brought, passed them through the gills of the fish, and picked them up.
Devon seemed to be very interested in the straw rope, so he grabbed the straw rope and looked over and over again.
Until Yan Mo walked away, the three mermaids were still looking at him. Ramon handed the salt to Devon, "Bring this to the leader."
Devon and Simon understood what he meant and nodded.
Ramon swung his long fish tail and slid far away on the snow. He wanted to see where the boy lived, and to find out how many people there were in that tribe and whether it was a threat to them.
Ramon didn't find it strange to see the young man meeting with two adult humans who had picked up a bunch of dead branches.
It is normal for the cubs to come out and be accompanied by adults, and it is very likely that the cubs dared to run here with the adults. The adults are working nearby, and the cubs are in charge of playing.
Yan Mo also didn't think that the mermaid would follow them, maybe he thought about it, but he didn't remind the two warriors, but pretended not to know anything, and turned around with the two warriors.
Ramon followed them for about an hour, and on the way he saw the two cubs who often went to play with La Ruo. But the cub didn't see them, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, the boy and the two adults walked away from them.
From a distance, Ramon noticed that there were more gravel wall buildings on this high ground that he had never seen before.
The stone wall, which is mixed with a large number of large and small boulders, is grayish in color and looks extremely hard, is not long, only about the length of four or five adult fish connected together. But the height is very high, as high as two mermaids combined and their tails straightened.
How long have these humans been here? How did a stone wall that looked so solid be erected so quickly? And what is that off-white material? Some kind of stone he hadn't seen? Why can the cobblestone be embedded in it
Ramon was already a little vigilant when he saw the boy take out the scalpel, but now that he saw this unfinished stone wall, he valued the humans of this tribe even more.
Maybe they came a powerful neighbor. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, we don't know yet. However, they basically live in the lake, and their staple food is fish, so there is not much conflict with humans, but who knows if these humans will be very aggressive and greedy like the records of the clan Wu adults? group of humans.
Ramon has studied, so he knows that human beings, like mermaids, have very aggressive races, and some are more friendly and friendly, but they don't know which one the Jiuyuan tribe belongs to. But no matter what kind it is, they will not be afraid. Although the long-tailed mermaids are not a very aggressive race, the natural ability and strong physique bestowed on them by the water god make them fearless of any enemies.
Ramon didn't dare to get too close. When he saw humans patrolling, he just circled around the highland from a distance.
Judging from the tents set up, this tribe is indeed as the boy said, there are not many people. But it's not so small that there are only a few people. Maybe other people went hunting, right? Ramon thought.
Ramon also saw the adults of this tribe salute the young man, is that a salute? Put your right fist on your left chest and nod your head.
So the status of this young man in this tribe should be relatively high? The chief's child? or something else? No wonder it took him three days before he could go to play with them. If it is the leader's child, he has to learn and do a lot of things at such an age.
Ramon probed clearly and turned around quickly. Although they can move on land, they can't leave the water for too long. Although the snowfall in winter can replenish their water, the cold air also has a great impact on them, and the lake is much warmer.
Yan Mo saw that Wu Chen was left behind by those two brats again, working there alone, so he waved to him.
Wu Chen immediately dropped his work and ran over.
"You don't have to worry about them. I already know what's going on. If nothing happens, they should invite you to go with them tomorrow."
Wu Chen tried his best to understand what the priest said, but Yan Mo said it briefly again.
Wu Chen understood, and rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly. He was really upset in his heart that Big Eyes and Sa left him alone, this feeling of not being trusted by his friends sucked.
Yan Mo patted the child, seeing that his face was blue with cold, he naturally grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
The child is basically healthy, except for some nutritional deficiencies. Their food is still too simple. Although meat can supplement energy, eating too much meat is also harmful to the body.
After putting down Wu Chen's wrist, Yan Mo suddenly turned around and grabbed Wu Chen's wrist again.
Wu Chen was stunned, the priest touched their wrists like this before, and he told them that this is called "taking the pulse", and said that this method can be used to judge whether a person is sick or not.
Wu Chen and other children regarded it as a magical witchcraft, Wu Chen wanted to learn it very much, and the priest also said that after they learned the basic knowledge, they could teach whoever wanted to learn it. For this reason, he has been studying all the knowledge given to him by the priest with all his might, wishing he could learn and finish it all at once.
Yan Mo stared at Wu Chen with a slightly complicated expression.
Although it was not as strong and obvious as Yuan Zhan's performance, just now, when he put down Wu Chen's wrist, he did feel something abnormal.
But this time, he checked carefully, and he caught the slightest change.
This kind of pulse is like a sudden heavy beating in the normal drumbeat, and then it comes again after a while, it is very regular, but the interval is very long, if you don't pay attention, it will be ignored.
This kind of pulse is very unfamiliar to Yan Mo, but with the example of Yuan Zhan, he did not miss the change of Wuchen's pulse.
Yuan Zhan's pulse is much stronger than Wu Chen's, and the interval between the strongest drum beats is not as long as Wu Chen's, as if there is another energy in Yuan Zhan's body that supports his physical activities.
This energy is attached to Yuan Zhan's body, meridians and acupuncture points, but it is different from ordinary people.
If there is really internal energy in this world, Yan Mo would doubt that this vein is the evidence of the existence of the so-called internal energy.
In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians and acupoints are one of the must-learn knowledge.
Generally speaking, there are 14 meridians in the human body. In addition to the 12 regular meridians, there are Ren and Du meridians. There are 475 acupoints in total, including 114 odd acupoints and 361 normal acupoints.
Yan Mo also doubted the origin and function of the knowledge of meridians and acupoints.
For example, the first medical book to mention concepts such as meridians and acupuncture points, "Huangdi Neijing". Although the author of this book cannot be identified—the judgment of later generations was summed up by many people and then gradually improved, but the time of his writing has basically been determined to be in the Warring States Period, which means that the medical knowledge mentioned in the Canon of Internal Medicine is all in the Warring States Period Summed up before.
So here is a question, under the backward technological conditions at that time, how were the meridians and acupuncture points discovered? If the meridians and acupoints can really be traced back to the time of the Yellow Emperor, how did they discover and use the meridians and acupoints at that time
Any theory needs long-term accumulation before it can become a theory.
If humans discovered meridians and acupoints in ancient times, can he infer that people at that time used meridians and acupoints very frequently? So high that they can be summarized and handed down thousands of years later in the Yellow Emperor period
Considering that modern people, especially western medicine, do not pay much attention to meridians and acupoints, Chinese medicine is indeed not as effective as western medicine. Many people go to Chinese medicine as if they are lucky when they are not good at western medicine. Then these are not taken seriously and cannot be accepted Will the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that is easily acquired be abandoned
Perhaps the traditional Chinese medicine that has been handed down to the present has some mistakes in all aspects, and most of the modern people learn Chinese medicine according to the gourd, and few people ponder and delve into the scientific basis and the origin of the reason.
However, Yan Mo felt that there must be a reason for Chinese medicine to spread in his country for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It's just that in the process of development, in the long river of history, a very important link is missing.
Maybe it was the great flood that spread to the whole world? Yan Mo smiled. He suspected that there had been a high-level civilization in the area of his country before, and this civilization was probably related to the utilization and development of the human body's own abilities.
As for why there are no traces of advanced civilization left, according to some myths and legends in various countries, "gods" often fight, and their destructive power is amazing, some of which are comparable to nuclear missiles.
Maybe after the gods fought, a great flood came and nothing was left, only some oral knowledge and myths were handed down from the mouths of some survivors. Thinking about it now, the flood that spread to the whole world is also very suspicious. Can a flood flood the entire world? Does it really have nothing to do with the disappearance of those "gods"
Yan Mo habitually made conspiracy theories.
"My lord?" Wu Chen was a little uneasy, why did your lord hold on to his hand, is it... he is going to die
This kind of sudden death of children is not unheard of, on the contrary, there are many. He has watched it no less than three or four times when he is so old. Those who were born not long ago are the most likely to die, but even when they grow up, they will die due to various reasons for unknown reasons. Well, the next day people are gone.
Yan Mo came back to his senses, seeing the uneasy expression on the child's face, he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something. You... come to my tent later."
He needs to be sure. He didn't use Wu Chen as an experiment, he really just wanted to make sure.
Just imagine, if there is really a force in the meridians of the human body, and this force can be triggered and gradually become stronger through appropriate exercise methods...
Yan Mo let go of Wu Chen, and held his palm tightly. He couldn't be so excited, he should look at this matter with a normal heart, but his crazy urgency to study this matter thoroughly made him very uncomfortable. uncomfortable.
Wu Chen watched the priest turning back to his tent as if he was out of his wits. He stood there for a long time, but he felt a little scared in his heart. He always felt that the priest had discovered something terrible in him.
Yan Mo, who returned to the tent and drank a bowl of cold water to calm himself down, suddenly found his right hand lit up again.
When Yan Mo saw his right hand light up, his first reaction was: I was just thinking about it in my heart, and I didn't really want to experiment with that child! Well, actually he really wanted to.
Yan Mo glared at his right hand, roaring inwardly, finally got lucky a few times, and still had to raise his hand to take a closer look.
At the same time as he opened his palm, a series of prompts for adding points and subtracting points naturally appeared in his mind.
Seeing those prompts, Yan Mo's face turned dark.
Your mother! What does it matter to me to hunt and kill a large number of creatures in the original war? ! Why do you add me so many points
20 o'clock! He even added 20 points!
He's going to be punished again, okay
As for the deduction points for teaching Yuan Zhan to learn elementary training methods, he didn't take it to heart at all. All he could think about was the small punishment that was coming soon—the pain of stone blows!
The hateful guide didn't wait for him to be mentally prepared, probably seeing that there was no one around him, and he had nothing to do, yet the punishment came as soon as he said it.
"boom!"
Yan Mo felt as if he heard the sound of a stone hitting his back hard.
"Oh!" Yan Mo snorted and fell to the ground.
"Bang!" This time the stone seemed to hit him directly on the head.
Yan Mo raised his hand subconsciously, thinking that he would touch a hand of blood, but no, he only touched a big lump, which hurts!
"Bang!" This time was the worst! He hit his nose!
Yan Mo burst into tears.
… Maybe he knew what the guide meant by that double-edged sword.
Mother, he shouldn't have taught that bastard first. As a result, the little bastard's ability increased greatly, so he started killing, and the fruit of this crime was actually blamed on him.
Woohoo! He hates it!
Double-edged sword, double-edged sword, really double-edged sword. Learning training methods can make people's abilities more powerful, but the killing it brings will also increase, and the threat to other creatures will also increase. He will bear all the murders? !
This is probably the same as if he taught Kusamachi and them some herbal medicine knowledge, etc., and if Kusamachi and them used it to save people or teach others, he would also receive a reduction in scum value.
wait! If this rule is followed, if Kuomachi and the others use the knowledge he taught to harm people or harm other creatures in large numbers, will he also be given a scum value
Yan Mo shed tears and his face turned pale.
Wipe away the tears and think about the good. Although the murders after the original war should be a lot on him, but if he uses his ability to save people and build buildings, he will also be reduced in scum value. Such a balance, it seems Is it not unacceptable
When Yuan Zhan came back, he told him not to kill indiscriminately in the future. From now on, the main purpose of our tribe is to save people, protect the environment, and live in harmony and friendship with all creatures.
But no matter what, when the little bastard comes back, he must immobilize him with golden needles and beat him up! Otherwise, his tone is really difficult to calm down.
"Ah Choo!"
About 30 kilometers away, Yuan Zhan suddenly sneezed loudly in front of a large open space on a rocky mountain.
The Awu warriors who were happily binding their prey to the board looked at him together.
Yuan Zhan wiped away the snot from his nose and the snowflakes mixed with blood on his face, and murmured: "It's a bit cold."
Hu Hu leaned over and said happily: "My lord, the prey we caught this time is enough for us to eat until the beginning of spring! My lord priest will definitely be very happy to see so many prey."
"Yes." Yuan Zhan thought of his lord priest, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile was a bit sinister and weird.
Jie Jie! He finally had a way to deal with the little slave, and this time he didn't obediently let him sleep.
