Shao Xuan used medicine for Lao Ho, and he applied the herbs he prepared himself and picked up during the rest of the expedition.
Lao Ho's grandson looked like he was only about six years old. In fact, he was almost eight years old. He was relatively thin and ill because of the cold. He had taken medicine and was sleeping.
Shao Xuan also had some herbs that he brought from the tribe to enhance his physique, and he gave it to Lao Ho. "These medicines can be used directly by the totem warriors. When you drink them, put less herbs at a time, but more water."
People who do not have the power of awakening totems, like those children in the Yanjiao tribe, are relatively weak, and drinking these medicines can make them feel better, at least their resistance will be stronger.
"Actually, I also have some herbs here. You can bring them. Although you are a totem warrior, there are times when totem warriors are injured. Those herbs are good." Lao Ho asked his wife to pack some herbs for Shao Xuan.
There are only two elders and one younger. Shao Xuan took a look, helped them chop some firewood, cut down some trees from the mountain, moved some stones, and helped them repair the house. blacken.
After roasting the leg of lamb that was exchanged in the Feng tribe, and cooking some wild vegetable soup, Shao Xuan and Lao Ho's family finished eating before getting up and leaving.
Lao Hoi wanted to leave Shao Xuan here to talk more. He still had a lot of questions to ask Shao Xuan, but he didn't stay after looking at the sky outside.
"You guys rest first, I'll come back tomorrow." Shao Xuan said before leaving.
With Shao Xuan's words, Lao Hoi felt more at ease.
Shao Xuan returned to the resting place of the expedition team. Everyone was discussing the things that he had exchanged with the Feng tribe today. Zha changed some nice furs. Of course, the most important thing was that he also got some grassland herbs that he had never seen before. , these are what excites him the most.
"Shao Xuan, do you know that there are many poisonous plants on this grassland?" Zhan said.
"Well, I heard." When Shao Xuan was chatting with Lao Ho today, he heard what Lao Ho said.
For people like Zha, those are treasures, but for those on the grasslands, those are demons.
Not all greens symbolize life, and some also represent death. Many times, when the cattle and sheep on the grasslands are grazing, they accidentally eat plants that look similar to what they usually eat, and die because of this.
Such poisonous weeds will poison livestock and cause great losses to the tribesmen. What makes the tribesmen even more troublesome is that the poisonous weeds are very powerful in terms of vitality and reproductive capacity. grow out. Even if all the grass on the site is cleaned of poisonous weeds this year, the next year will still see poisonous weeds everywhere. Because the seeds of many poisonous weeds are spread with the wind, or will delay germination for several years, it is extremely difficult to clean up.
One of the reasons why tourists are needed on the grasslands is also because of these poisonous weeds. There are too many poisonous weeds, and the people of the tribe are not willing to spend more energy on those poisonous weeds. There are tourists, and they only need to pay a very small amount to make these tourists work. What the tourists need is the protection of the tribe.
In some tribes, the poisonous weeds grow too fast, and there is not enough people and time to eliminate them, livestock die, and the area of healthy grassland shrinks greatly. They will wage war against other tribes to snatch the grassland. The attack suffered by the Feng tribe not long ago was also because of this.
Shao Xuan looked at the poisonous grass that Zha took out. When he was walking on the grassland today, he still saw a lot of it, but there were no livestock moving there. Presumably, the cattle and sheep would be released after they were cleared away. past.
Zha was still studying the poisonous weeds he was interested in, while Shao Xuan was leaning against the wooden wall, thinking about things.
Compared to Yan Shuo, Lao Hoi is indeed a good one. Although life is a little harder, and occasionally there will be wars between tribes, but in general, it is still peaceful. Perhaps, because of this peace, there is no need to face all kinds of threats from people and things every day, and no need to deal with all kinds of serious crises. Many tourists from the Yanjiao tribe on the grasslands did not appear to be like There are very few people with totem lines like Yan Shuo who can show faint lines. This is what Shao Xuan learned from Lao Ho.
Shao Xuan originally thought that he would bring the people he found back to the Yanjiao tribe across the river, but now it seems that it is extremely difficult. There are many young adults, but after all, they are not totem warriors and their abilities are limited. What's more, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people among them, and these people Shao Xuan did not intend to give up. It's just that he now needs to figure out a way to better solve such a thing.
Perhaps, when Wu asked Shao Xuan to come here to look for other Yanjiao tribesmen, he did not expect to encounter such a situation. People like Lao Ho who are old and do not have the power of awakening totems can't travel safely at all.
Tell the tribes on the grasslands that they should be kind to the tourists from the Yanjiao tribe? It's useless, this set doesn't work on the grasslands.
If it is a large tribe like the Thousand Faces Tribe, if the tribe name is reported, even if the other party is reluctant, they will still change their attitude and not be so harsh. However, now you go and tell people that Lao Tzu is from the Yanjiao tribe!
The other party will most likely look at you sideways: Which grass is the Yanjiao tribe? !
Strength, fame, and the benefits it brings make every tribe's people hope that their tribe will become more and more prosperous.
There is no real peace diplomacy here. Most of the powerful tribes are very strong, such as the Thousand-faced tribe, which is strong enough and strong enough to make people jealous.
After much deliberation, Shao Xuan decided to bring some of the people back to the tribe at that time, and when the tribe came from there in the future, he would call back the tribesmen scattered all over the place.
The next day, Shao Xuan went to Lao Ho again.
Lao Ho's foot injury is much better. Although he has not awakened the power of the totem, it is not even comparable to Yan Shuo, but after all, he is a member of the Yanjiao tribe, and there is blood of the Yanjiao tribe in his body.
Lao Ho's grandson is much sicker. He had a good meal yesterday and is in good spirits today. He even helped his grandma go to the pasture weeding.
Shao Xuan also went to help. Lao Hoi moved slowly beside him limping, unable to rest, talking to Shao Xuan while digging grass.
"Actually, my father also showed totem patterns back then, but they were very few and very shallow. I remember that I was still young at that time and was about to sleep in the house at night when suddenly there was a warning horn from the Feng tribe. Dad said that there were wolves attacking. That night, my dad participated in the defense of the Feng tribe and killed a few wolves. When he came back, I saw the lines on his face, he said, that is Totem pattern belonging to the totem warrior of the Flaming Horn Tribe…”
When it comes to his father, Lao Ho has a proud face, which is what he will mention every time he communicates with tourists from other tribes.
Shao Xuan dug out those poisonous weeds while listening to Lao Hoe's story. He had already learned about these poisonous weeds from Zha yesterday, and knew which grasses on this pasture were poisonous and which ones were not.
The tribe asked the tourists to dig up those poisonous weeds. If there were dead lambs and calves in the place who was in charge, the tourists would not be able to get paid from the tribe, and they would be beaten or even driven out of the tribe. Outside the scope of the tribe, there will be many crises from people or beasts. If a safe foothold cannot be found for a long time, the expelled people will soon die.
However, there are poisonous medicines in this pasture, so naturally there are other medicinal herbs. Shao Xuan also found several kinds of poisonous weeds when he was digging for them. Many of them were reminded by Lao Hoi. These medicinal herbs are only common in this pasture. Elsewhere there are very few.
While digging, not far ahead, a child about the age of Lao Ho's grandson was dragging a piece of wood thicker than him with a straw rope, humming, humming, and pulling it here, although the child was taller than Laoho's. The grandson was much stronger, but pulling such a piece of wood made him blushed.
When Lao Ho saw the child, he asked, "Guar, why are you pulling the wood?"
The Guarian family and Laoho's family have been cooperating for a long time. The grass removed by Laoho is the place where the Guaer's family often graze. Sometimes Laoho helps the Guaer's family to guard the sheep.
"Hey, Lao Ho, come and do me a favor!" Gu Er shouted after seeing Lao Ho.
Shao Xuan stopped Lao Ho, who was about to come forward, and pulled the wood that Gu Er was dragging over.
This wood does not look obvious, but it is actually quite heavy. However, this weight is nothing to Shao Xuan. In the mountains and forests in the hunting area, Shao Xuan has seen stronger and heavier wood.
The wood Gu Er dragged over was very thick, but not long, only half a meter. The people of the Feng tribe do not like to use wood as weapons, and most of the time they chop and burn them, or build houses, tents and fences.
After Gu Er came over, he sat on the ground, panting, and did not answer Lao Ho's words, but looked up and down Shao Xuan who helped him pull the wood.
Although Lao Ho's grandson is about the same age as Guar, the children in the tribe rarely play with the children of the tourists. The tourists are not slaves, but they will still be looked down upon. After all, the tourists need to rely on these tribes to survive.
Therefore, when Gua Er usually came, he always shouted at Lao Ho, and once had a fight with Lao Ho's grandson, but because the two families had known each other for too long and needed each other, it didn't make a big fuss.
After observing for a while, Gua Er asked Shao Xuan: "Are you from the expedition team? I haven't seen you in the tribe."
"Yes, I am." Shao Xuan lifted the wood easily and placed it in front of Gu Er.
Guar leaned forward and asked, "Did you carve a few beasts out of animal bones? It's so big, one looks like this..."
Gua Er said while gesturing.
Shao Xuan nodded, "That's what I carved." The few carved gadgets also changed something.
With Shao Xuan's affirmation, Gu Er's eyes lit up, and he leaned in front of Shao Xuan with an expectant smile on his face: "Can you carve another one? Just use this piece of wood I brought!"
Shao Xuan looked at Gu Er silently and put on a deep look: "What can you exchange for it?"
