[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

30. Xiyu is very smart

Sanliu chose a spot on the open grassland by the creek, and erected a wooden pillar in the middle, using the principle of sunlight to form shadows, to estimate the current time period.Although it cannot be as accurate as a modern watch, it can still be seen roughly.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, several workers woke up from a light sleep and went up the mountain again with their tools.The current progress is very smooth, and they are the kind of people who work hard and nimbly. Naturally, the wall is built quickly and well. Now it has reached half of the position. I believe that it will be finished in three or four days. We can reach the waterfall.

Before Chen Ting left, he glanced at Sanliu and Zhiyuan, then dragged his lame leg and followed the team up the mountain.

"Xiyu."

Sanliu patted Xiyu from behind who had been watching Chen Ting leave, and said, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"Xiyu didn't." The other party shook his head.

Chen Ting went up the mountain, Ah Zhan was sleeping, and Xiyu was free at once.

"Hmm..." Sanliu and Zhiyuan glanced at each other, and Zhiyuan said, "Then can Xiyu do us a favor?"

"What?" Xi Yu asked.

Zhiyuan said: "As you know, Ah Ting was injured in his abdomen. Although he has recovered well during this period of time, he has been working hard to build the fence these days. I am more worried that his wound will be affected by it. I heard from Sanliu that there is a good way, that is to use garlic and witch hazel to boil animal skins, which can play a role in..." Zhiyuan paused, and suddenly couldn't remember what Sanliu taught him. What are the new words.

"Disinfection." Sanliu hurriedly said: "The sterilized animal skin is used to bandage the wound. Ah Ting is not easy to get infected and inflamed. Moreover, he is sweating all the time, so the wound will be infected."

"Infected?" Xiyu asked in confusion.

"It's just..." Sanliu pursed her lips, and explained, "It's because Ah Ting was sweating, and when he came into contact with dirty things, the wound started to bleed again, but it still festered."

"(⊙o⊙) Ah!? That's terrible, Ah Ting is going to be sick again." Xiyu became anxious after hearing Sanliu's explanation.

"Yes." Sanliu nodded, "So Zhiyuan and I decided to find some garlic and witch hazel to cook the animal skin. We have garlic at home. Ah Ting found a lot from the mountains before, but this Witch hazel, the ones in the medicine field were all used up last time." Having said this, he glanced at Ning Zhiyuan.

The other party said: "I heard from my uncle that there is witch hazel on this mountain, but we have never been there, and we don't know where it is. It takes a lot of time to find it. It just so happens that Sanliu and I will go to the tribe soon. Going to discuss with the old priest about treating children in the tribe, so I don’t have time.”

"Then Xiyu go." Hearing what he said, Xiyu said without thinking, "Xiyu has been to the mountains before, and he knows some roads, so it will be faster to find them." He said expectantly .

Sanliu and Zhiyuan looked at each other, and they both saw smiles deep in each other's eyes.

"Okay then, I'll trouble you then." Sanliu held back a smile and said seriously, "Let me tell you about that witch hazel."

"Okay." Xiyu nodded quickly, followed him and squatted down to watch him write and draw, trying hard to memorize all the details in his mind.

Later, Zhiyuan and Sanliu were going to the tribe, and Zora and Meka went home to rest after lunch.There is only Suoya in the stone house who did not leave because Dila and Azhan took a nap together. Xiyu entrusted Azhan to Suoya, and went up the mountain alone with the animal skin bag.

Although men are building walls not far ahead, the mountain in front of them is still very wide. Xiyu looking for witch hazel is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.But he was very serious and careful. Every time he walked through a piece of grass and bushes, he would use his hands to peel off the branches, look at the leaves one by one, and then think about the pictures described by himself and himself in the past three or six times in his mind. Is it the same as the leaf in front of me?However, the forest vegetation in this area is really too lush. Although some of it has been cleared due to the construction of walls and logging, there are still thousands of plants growing here.It is indeed very difficult to find witch hazel in such an environment.

Xiyu didn't remember how long he had been searching, but the light above his head had begun to dim, and he was still rummaging through the grass one by one, looking for the kind of plant he needed.At this moment, a little white rabbit suddenly sprang out from the grass beside him. It seemed that the little guy didn't expect to meet someone, and was also startled, turned around and ran in another direction.Xiyu subconsciously ran after him for a few steps, but without paying attention, he tripped over a half-rotten piece of wood and fell to the ground.

"Hiss." The palm of his hand rubbed against the ground, leaving a bloodstain. He sat up and held his own hand, frowning slightly, with a depressed and sad expression.

But at this moment, he noticed a very special short tree beside him.A golden piece, the young branches have star-shaped hairs; the old branches are bare; the buds are long ovoid, and the broad obovate leaves are very beautiful in shape. This is obviously the appearance of the witch hazel mentioned by Sanliu.

"Witch hazel." Xiyu shouted happily, recognizing that this is the herb he had been looking for for a long time, "Great."

The joy of finding it made him forget even the wound on his hands, and he quickly picked a lot of witch hazels from the branches, carefully put them into his animal skin bag, and then happily walked down the mountain.

When he got home, Zhiyuan and Sanliu came back early, standing in front of the door looking at the foot of the mountain and waiting for him.

"Xiyu." Seeing him coming out of the corner, Zhiyuan immediately greeted him happily.

"Zhiyuan, Sanliu." As soon as Xiyu saw them, he waved the bag in his hand and said happily: "Xiyu found it, and found a lot." thing.

"It's really witch hazel." Sanliu glanced at it and said with certainty.

"Great." Xiyu finally felt relieved, "With this, Ah Ting's wound won't be..." He frowned.

Smiling three or six times, he said, "There will be no infection."

"Yes, infection." Xiyu learned with a smile.

Zhiyuan looked at him from the side, and said sincerely: "Xiyu, you are really great. To be honest, the road on this mountain is not easy to walk, and there are so many plants, but you finally found this witch hazel, really It's not easy."

"Xiyu..." Xiyu's eyes widened with uncertainty on his face, "Isn't it simple?"

"Of course." Zhiyuan nodded, "Even if I know a lot of herbs, it would take several days to find one, but you've already found it before it was dark, isn't it amazing? ?”

"Yeah." Xiyu nodded his head happily, "Xiyu is very serious, and he never missed anything."

"I knew it, our Xiyu is the best." Zhiyuan rubbed his hair and praised.

Xiyu, who was praised for being smart for the first time, was very moved, and suddenly felt that he could do many things, and he could do them well.

"Let's cook first. Zora, Meka, and Mijie all have work tonight, so we're left to cook." Sanliu patted Zhiyuan on the shoulder and said.

"Okay." Zhi Yuan nodded, and the three of them walked side by side to the stone house.

"Three six." Xiyu hugged his animal skin bag, and said expectantly, "Can Xiyu make the meatloaf tonight?"

"..." Sanliu and Zhiyuan looked at each other in surprise.

Because when he was teaching Sanliu before, he had learned for a long time and couldn't master the method of rolling dough.After failing to do it twice, he took the initiative to ask to prepare other food, and gave up the work of making meatloaf to someone who could cook it better.Today, however, Xiyu, who had spent the whole afternoon trying to find the witch hazel, even volunteered to make meatloaf, her eyes full of confidence and anticipation.

They secretly marveled in their hearts, and had to admire the man's mind, doing so many things, just for...

"Okay, I'll let Xiyu do it tonight." Sanliu nodded with a smile, and the three of them walked to the firepit together and started to get busy for dinner.

And at the wall construction site on the mountain, Lue Shang saw Chen Ting, who had not been seen all afternoon, approaching, and asked strangely, "Where have you been for so long?"

"It's okay." Chen Ting shook his head and smiled.

Lueshang nodded and didn't ask any more questions, while carefully applying grass mud to the cracks in the rocks, he said, "You've been working on the mountain these days, don't you worry about Xiyu?"

Chen Ting paused while laying stones, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the future."

"..."
