Chapter 98: Painting in rolls

Views:

Shao Xuan put down the animal skin curtain and said, "Hello, my name is Ah Xuan, Wu asked me to come and study."

The person who was handling the herbs in the stone tray raised his head, looked at Shao Xuan, smiled, and said, "I'm Gui Ze."

Although the other party had a smile on her face, Shao Xuan felt that she was not very friendly or malicious, just like Wu, who looked at everyone with a faint smile and looked very friendly, but it was just a look.

It was really taught by witchcraft, even the smile was the same.

Compared with other people who have awakened the power of the totem, Gui Ze is relatively thinner. After all, in the tribe, whether it is a boy or a girl, after awakening the power of the totem, their physique will be enhanced a lot, and they will look stronger. .

The temperature inside the house is slightly higher than the outside temperature. As everyone in the tribe said, it is connected to the fire pit, but I don't know how the heat is transferred. After all, there are no other suspicious objects around the house.

Walking to the stone table, Shao Xuan asked, "What do I need to do first?"

Putting down the stone plate in his hand, Gui Ze thought for a while, and said, "You watch by the side and see what I do."

"Okay." Shao Xuan has no objection, let's take a look first, he still doesn't know how the herbs here are processed.

The plants here are too unfamiliar, but similar to the knowledge of herbal medicine that Shao Xuan knew in his previous life, most of these medicinal plants also need to be picked and processed. Poison can kill people.

Up to now, Shao Xuan has only understood the most basic herbal usages that he had seen when he went out with the hunting team, and a small part of picking knowledge he had learned when he followed the advance team, such as when it is suitable for harvesting. Some can be harvested from the ground, others need to be uprooted, and some can only be picked after the flowering period.

As for now, the first thing to understand is how to pick and choose these plants after they are delivered.

Gui Ze is also doing this now, and has already dealt with most of it. After all, it has been 20 days since the last hunting team came back.

Shao Xuan walked over and stood beside Gui Ze, carefully watching how she did every step.

The turtle saw that Shao Xuan was approaching, and went over to Shao Xuan's leg.

Shao Xuan's eyes were always on Gui Ze's action of handling the herbs, and he didn't look at the turtle, but his downed hand swayed quickly, the stone knife was drawn out, and the back of the knife hit the eagle-hook like turtle's mouth.

Snapped!

The turtle who was slapped with a knife shook his head and looked at Shao Xuan with a bad look. He probably held revenge and remembered how Shao Xuan treated it before.

But then, to Shao Xuan's surprise, the turtle didn't open its mouth to bite again. It was completely different from the time when it was in the stone jar at the foot of the mountain, looking at a target and wanting to chase it to the end.

Shao Xuan didn't understand why the tortoise, who originally liked to bite, settled down here? Because of the witch? I don't understand.

In any case, that turtle no longer entangled in biting people, which also saved Shao Xuan a lot of trouble.

Now that winter is approaching, and the temperature has dropped a bit, if the standard of treating pet turtles in the past life is used, the turtle's food intake and activities should be greatly reduced. Shao Xuan's original cognition.

It looks full of energy, much more lively than when Shao Xuan threw it into the water tank ten days ago. Although it doesn't crawl fast, it is a domineering man.

"Few of the medicinal plants newly brought back by the hunting team can be eaten directly, and most of them are contaminated with soil and other contaminants when they are brought back..."

When Gui Ze dealt with the gaps between the herbs in the stone plate, he would also explain the basic knowledge to Shao Xuan.

The medicinal plants just brought back have a lot of impurities such as soil, and some have high water content. If they are not handled in time, they will also undergo qualitative changes. They may grow mold like ordinary items, or there may be other changes. Therefore, the medicinal plants brought back by the advance team are directly sent here, and the ones that are most prone to qualitative change will be dealt with immediately in the medicine house.

"The medicinal plants brought back have undergone preliminary washing, shaking off the mud, and after sorting and sorting, their non-medicinal parts need to be removed. For example, the outer shell must be removed, and its outer shell can make people have diarrhea. ." Gui Ze said.

It can make the tribal people with generally strong physical fitness have diarrhea, severe diarrhea and even incontinence, and the soldiers can't bear it. Obviously, the toxicity of this kind of beard fruit is not small.

Shao Xuan watched Gui Ze skillfully hold a small stone knife sharply sharpened, cut through the slightly hard shell of the husk, and peeled off the shell of the husk with beard-like hair, and the inside was translucent and solidified. The flesh of the fruit was not damaged in the slightest. Obviously, Gui Ze has been extremely skilled in handling this.

Shao Xuan wanted to ask what to do after peeling off these poisonous husks, but before he opened his mouth to ask, he saw Gui Ze throw the peeled husks into the open turtle's mouth beside him.

Shao Xuan: "..."

What the hell! Isn't it poisonous? !

One tossed calmly, one can't wait to eat!

Shao Xuan was stunned beside him.

The witch sent this tortoise just as an experimental guinea pig? Or a trash can for waste disposal

Gui Ze didn't notice Shao Xuan's strangeness, because he wanted to demonstrate to Shao Xuan, so he did not continue to deal with the same thing, but walked to another stone plate, holding a withered grass-like plant, and continued: " Not every kind needs to be removed like the husks, like this one, the stems need to be removed, and the stems of the leaves can make hands and feet tingle."

Shao Xuan saw that she skillfully peeled off the stem, and then threw it all into the turtle's mouth again.

Shao Xuan: "..."

Looking at the turtle that was chewing with its eagle hook mouth, Shao Xuan murmured: Severe diarrhea? ! Numbness in your hands and feet? ! All the turtles!

Also, did this turtle eat farts!

"These are all harmful, why are they still being eaten?" Shao Xuan asked.

He gave this tortoise to Wu. He originally thought that Wu would let people stew directly, but he didn't expect to send it here, and he was so obedient. What surprised Shao Xuan most was that Gui Ze actually planted the medicine on those who had been identified as correct. The harmful part of the person is cut off and fed to this turtle. This turtle even ate it, gulps.

"Wu said, you can try to give it some food." Gui Ze didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Since what Wu said, it must be correct, as long as it was implemented.

Definitely an undead species. Shao Xuan has a new understanding of the strange species in this place.

Following Gui Ze around the stone table, and after seeing the preliminary treatment methods for the various medicinal plants placed on it, Gui Ze continued her mission.

After watching for a while, Shao Xuan asked in the air, "Is there any relevant information, animal skin scrolls or something, I can take a look first."

After all, these medicine plants were things that the advance team had finally recovered. It was impossible for Shao Xuan to operate as a novice. Even if it was a very simple step, he couldn’t let him get started. Unless Wu agreed, Gui Ze couldn’t be the master. Shao Xuan can't even help.

Gui Ze thought about it and felt that it was right. She also began to read the paintings and related records on the animal skin scroll very early back then. After understanding the basic knowledge, she began to follow the shamanism. However, she is better than Shao Xuan. When reading the animal skin scroll, someone was explaining it to him. She was willing to talk to Shao Xuan, but unfortunately, there are still many herbs that have not been processed yet.

Pointing to the many animal skin rolls on a small stone table in the corner, Gui Ze said, "They're all over there, you can go and look at them."

"Then I'll go first, you continue, I'll ask you later if I don't understand."

Shao Xuan came to the stone table. The animal skin rolls on the table seemed to be some years old, while the one on the edge was relatively new and should have been made this year.

Shao Xuan first took an old animal skin roll and opened it.

There are several kinds of medicinal plants drawn in it, and there are brief written descriptions next to them, but they are not detailed and the paintings are not detailed.

How to identify

In the eyes of a layman, when looking at these paintings, there are more than four out of ten that look similar, aren't they all leaves, grass, roots, bark, seeds, etc.? Looks alike!

Single color, rough painting style, too thin text annotations, no physical comparison and no one to explain it, just looking at these animal skin scrolls, the degree of understanding is really limited.

After flipping through several old animal skin rolls in a row, and finding that the styles were similar, Shao Xuan turned his attention to the slightly newer roll, and the quality of the animal skin looked much better than the other rolls.

Opening the slightly new animal skin scroll and seeing the contents on it, Shao Xuan was stunned.

If it was said that the paintings in the previous scrolls were rough, then the paintings on this animal skin scroll are extremely crude, just like the symbols that Wu painted today, making people completely unable to understand what these paintings are.

Staring at the painting that looked like an ink ball above, Shao Xuan wondered if this was a lump of paint that fell from the brush during the witch painting

But he didn't want to, the next moment, Shao Xuan seemed to see a round brown fruit that gradually emerged from the painting.
