Chapter 59
Needless to say, about the various benefits of cypress, at present, he is more concerned about another tree, thorn hazel.
He was stabbed in the foot by a piece of thorn hazel fruit that fell to the ground, which made him want to stay away from it.
Yan Mo looked at the thick layers of accumulation on the ground, but almost cried, and finally found food other than meat and fruit! It's been cold these few days, he didn't even have to eat fruit, only meat and meat every day!
Yuan Zhan and Meng feel that this life of eating meat every day is very happy, but he can't stand it.
What's more, hazelnuts are also of great benefit to his body, which is in desperate need of nutrition after his illness.
This thorn hazel forest is not much shorter than the cypress trees. Not to mention the small trees, the shortest trees are five or six meters, and the tallest trees are almost ten meters. Fortunately, however, he didn't have to go up the tree, only those thorn hazel fruits that ripen and fall automatically this year are enough for him to eat for one winter.
I hope that the rate of benevolence of these thorns can be higher, Yan Mo prayed in his heart.
Can you stay here alone? "Worried.
It's okay, I'm not going to go deep, just look around in this piece. "
OK then. "It's a pity that I can't be alone with the young man, not because he wants to touch him, but because the young man really knows a lot, which makes him feel that the current priest disciple of the tribe, Qiu Ning, is far inferior to the young man, and even he faintly has a kind of Qiushi that may be a current priest. Adults are not as good at guessing as teenagers.
Speaking of which, the woods they were in were not too dense in terms of the density of the trees. The real forest was from a valley in the distance, but it was just this wood, and they didn't dare to go to the depths. , currently only active in the periphery.
There were many birds and many small animals in the woods. At one time, he grabbed two mountain animals and brought them out. When Jiufeng saw them, he almost fanned him to the bottom of the cliff with one wing.
After Yan Mo and Jiufeng's hard work, they finally understood that the birds and animals in the woods were untouchable, and all belonged to the mountain god Jiufeng boss.
Jiufeng snatched those two mountains away but didn't eat them, but gave them to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo made a roasted jī, smeared it with salt, and ate both jī by himself. Because Jiufeng didn't let Meng and Yuan Zhan touch those two animals, Jiufeng didn't bring them any other food that day, so he just starved them for a day.
But when Jiufeng took Yan Mo back to the nest on the cliff, the hungry Yuan Zhan and the two immediately slipped into the woods. The broken bones are all buried deep in the soil.
After that incident, Yuan Zhan and Meng Xue became smarter, and usually try not to move the bird in the woods.
Remember to cut at least every five trees, don't pick one, and it's better to pick a big tree with a small tree next to it. "Yan Mo pointed sharply.
Why? "
Because the cut out space can be used for small trees to grow. "Yan Mo patiently explained that the height should not be too high, five or six meters is enough. Remember how long 'meter' is? I explained it to you yesterday."
Nodding fiercely, he patted the straw rope wrapped around his waist, remembering that it was the length from the first knot to the second knot on this straw rope. "
Yan Mo expressed his relief and finally remembered that he had been teaching for ten days in a row. Yuan Zhan accepted it quickly, but Meng always would forget it. , The length of the meter is actually marked out, and let two people carry it with them.
And this not very accurate length standard was used by the Jiuyuan tribe for a long time, until someone made a more accurate scale based on this.
And pay attention to the direction when cutting, don't almost kill us both like last time. "Yan Mo warned again.
Got it, little priest! Be careful when you find your own herbs, and call me if anything happens. Meng replied casually with a smile, waved his hand and left with the stone axe.
After Yan Mo left, Yan Mo repeatedly made sure that the surroundings were safe, and then squatted down and started picking up the thorn hazel fruits that fell on the ground.
He had been influenced by fixed thinking before, thinking that the herbal bag could only contain herbs. After he remembered that hazelnuts have the functions of nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing energy, improving eyesight and walking, he suddenly realized that he tried to put hazelnuts in the herbal bag.
success!
The thorn hazel fruit can be loaded, so can the salt, Suaeda and its seeds also be collected?
As soon as the fixed thinking was broken, Yan Mo immediately found an opportunity to tie the herbal bag to his body. Just think, how many things in this world that can be entered have no medical or health care function? It is food, many of which also have the effect of invigorating the middle and benefiting qi.
Now, he really feels how useful this herbal bag is to him.
Five cubic meters of space, as long as he usually pays attention to collection, no matter what happens, he will not be so easily starved or thirst to death.
The sound of chopping trees echoed in the woods, and the sun was turning away. When Meng called Yan Mo back to the stone house, he had already picked up no less than 30 kilograms of thorn hazel fruit.
To cover up, he packed a bunch of hazelnuts in shòu leather.
When people are busy with work and are full of hope for the future, even if the conditions at that time are difficult, they can grit their teeth and get through it.
Yuan Zhan was busy tidying stones every day, and he also took time to make a stone pot, a large water tank, two stone knives, and a stone saw at Yan Mo's request.
Meng was playing with wood every day, and even learned to use a stone saw to cut thick wood into pieces without a teacher.
Yan Mo seems to be the easiest, but it's not easy at all. In addition to taking over all the tanning work of shòu, he also has to be responsible for boiling water, roasting meat, and comforting Jiufeng for everyone.
In addition, he is constantly collecting and adding to himself all kinds of things that he finds useful.
Although he was busy, Yan Mo was still quite happy, especially when he found that his and Jiufeng's jiāo flow became smoother and smoother.
Yuan Zhan and Meng were also very happy, because on the afternoon of the third day after the first snowfall, they could finally live in a stone house with a roof.
On the spot, he happily did dozens of back-and-forth somersaults in the rather wide and tall stone house.
Yuan Zhan wanted to put the fire pit outside the house as before, but was dissuaded by Yan Mo. Let's dig the fire pit inside the house, so that the house can be roasted to remove the cold and the house will be warm. "
The three walked into the stone house, and Jiufeng walked around the stone house a few times outside. Finally, he stretched out the bird's head toward the window, and shouted happily: Jie Jie, Gulu Gulu. "
For some reason, Yan Mo felt that he heard what the other party meant, and the big bird seemed to be saying: This dòng is interesting, get one for me too!
Yan Mo patted his head and felt that he was thinking too much. How could he understand what Jiufeng was talking about? This must be an illusion, it must be because he is too tired and too cold these days, which has caused the nerves somewhere in his brain to freeze.
What's wrong? "Yuan Zhan happened to see this scene.
Yan Mo immediately put down his hands, nothing, I was thinking about how to arrange this room better. "
layout? "
Um. Although there is no need to do real partitions, it is best to divide the functional areas first, so that the positions of furniture and fire pits can be arranged according to the functional requirements. "Yan Mo didn't care whether they could understand it or not, he walked around the room and thought about how to arrange it.
Although he doesn't sleep here for the time being, there must be many opportunities to stay here during the day, and he has to think about how to do it for his own comfort. What's more, he intends to use this house as a model to study what type of house is the most practical, and then fool Yuan Zhanhe Meng to make him a stone house by himself when he has nothing to do in winter.
war! ? "Meng, who was rushing around excitedly, suddenly exclaimed.
Yan Mo turned his head and saw Yuan Zhan, who was talking to him just now, suddenly closed his eyes and fell backwards.
He rushed over quickly, caught Yuan Zhan's fallen body, and shouted anxiously: Zhan! "
Yuan Zhan fell into a coma.
Yan Mo calmed down the fastest. He knelt on the ground and felt the pulse of Yuan Zhan. He instructed Meng to dig a temporary fire pit in the house, move in the fire from outside, and set up four fires in the four corners of the house at the same time. .
He's fine, just tired. "Yan Mo has an authoritative look on his face.
Anxiously, seeing the calm expression on the young man's face, I felt relieved inexplicably, and gradually calmed down, scaring me to death! I knew that Zhan couldn't use his abilities so indiscriminately. "
Is it really related to the ability he used? Yan Mo carefully inspected Yuan Zhan's body. In fact, Yuan Zhan's physical condition was not as light as he said, and it was even slightly worse.
The pulse is not only a serious injury due to fatigue, minor illnesses, but also pain stagnation, qi intrusion, stagnation of qi and blood, and a symptom of insufficiency of true qi.
In short, it means that the spirit is overdrawn, and the body cannot bear it due to the overuse of the ability.
In addition, his previous leg injury was not properly treated, and after that, he let yīn enter his body during the recovery period. But for more than half a month before, he not only exceeded his body's ability to use it, but also endured the pain in his legs and stayed in the cold wind and snow. The yīn qi in his body also burst out.
It is also thanks to Yuan Zhan's good health, otherwise he would not fall unconscious now, but could directly prepare the coffin.
However, without him, it is unknown whether Yuan Zhan can recover on his own and survive this disaster. There is no doctor to give him thorough treatment and recuperation, even if he survives this time, he will never be lucky next time.
When the fire heated up the ground, Yan Morang suddenly moved a fire away, spread grass and shòu leather on top, and moved Yuan Zhan over.
I'm going to give him acupuncture treatment, don't ask me whatever you see... it's better not to see it. "
I know, you're going to use priestly means. "Suddenly saw the sparks and ashes flying around the house by the wind, and stood at the door trying to block the cold wind that came in.
Jiufeng originally wanted to squeeze his body in through the window, but when he ignited a fire in the house, it flew away angrily.
You hang those shòu skins that haven't been tanned on the doors and windows... can't you hang them? Can you chisel dòng? On both sides of the uppermost side of the doors and windows..."
