Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 678 Primitive Tribe
Beside the jungle path to the southwest of Zhusheng City, Wang Chong was holding up his binoculars and looking behind anxiously.

Although he knew it was useless to do so, he still raised the binoculars from time to time and looked back for a while.

He was really in a hurry, because he was afraid that those Indian tribes would get the disease from person to person.

If this was the case, at least half of the five thousand people he brought would fall ill.

This was the first time he had brought so many people on a mission, and he really didn't want to mess it up.

The problem is that he hasn't completed the task yet, and he can't lead the army back, otherwise, he would have withdrawn with his people.

No way, it's too dangerous here.

He is not afraid of death, if he is asked to go to the battlefield and fight people desperately, he will not even frown.

The problem is that this person-to-person disease cannot be seen or touched at all, and there is no way to prevent it. He really doesn't want a large number of his subordinates to get sick for no reason.

Fortunately, after about an hour, I finally remembered the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

He just listened carefully and knew that there were more than a hundred riders coming.

That is to say, Lao Zheng has brought another team over, and this team is likely to help him solve the problem.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Shuben, the judge of the old Zhenghe Tai Hospital, appeared in the telescope.

At this moment, everyone was resting under the shade of the trees on both sides of the road, and they even pulled the war horses under the trees. More than a hundred riders could be said to be unimpeded, and soon came to him.

My God, there are hundreds of young Indians behind these two men, and the horses behind them are all carrying huge cloth bags. How much medicine did they bring?
Wang Chong hurriedly went up to meet him, bowed his hands and said, "I will see Mr. Li."

Li Shuben nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Lord Luo has an order, you follow me to the nearby Indian tribes to help them solve their illnesses, and someone else will deal with the farm."

Wang Chong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand, my lord, please give me instructions."

Li Shuben looked at the young and strong North American Indians who were resting in front and the Indians here, and then looked at the jungles on both sides, and then said decisively: "The people in the nearby tribes should have suffered from heat poisoning, and it is not a disease that is passed from person to person. We have to beware of poisonous insects. You let the Indians here lead the way, and you follow, and cut a passage for riding horses."

Wang Chong hurriedly said "Of order", then waved everyone to get up, and led the horses to join Zhao Baiyun and the others.

At this moment, the people of the Indian tribe here seem to be really anxious and helpless. Seeing so many people rushing up, they still bite the bullet and stand there.

Obviously, they hoped that their fellow tribesmen from the north could help them.

Zhao Baiyun heard that the judge of the Supreme Hospital was willing to treat the tribes here, so he quickly danced and made gestures with them.

What she meant was to let these people lead the way and lead them to the tribal settlements to see the sick.

Originally, it was impossible for the people of the tribe here to take outsiders to their tribal settlements, but now they are really in a hurry, and the people of the North American Indian tribe are not considered outsiders to them.

They only hesitated for a moment, and after chatting for a while, they nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Chong immediately summoned several general banners and small banners to confess.

Soon, everyone pulled out their sabers and lined up in two rows.

Wang Chong ordered Zhao Baiyun to communicate with the Indians here, and then he waved his hand to order everyone to follow them into the jungle.

The people from the Indian tribe here walked slowly ahead, while the thousands of young Indians under Wang Chong's men lined up in two rows, followed behind and chopped down the weeds and shrubs on the ground.

There is no way, the weeds and shrubs in this jungle are too dense, and they still carry a lot of supplies. They can't jump up and down like these Indian tribesmen, and they really can't carry them without cutting a way. Supplies go into the jungle.

These thousands of people chopped quite fast, because they took turns to fight, and the people in the front used all their strength to slash wildly for a while, and when they were tired, they would stand aside and rest, and let the people behind you continue to go up. .

In this way, their advancing speed was astonishing. The speed at which they brandished black iron knives was even faster than the walking speed of normal people. The people who led the way were startled by their speed.

The Indian tribe here heard that they were going to open a road, and thought that the group would move very slowly. Who knew that they just slashed wildly for a while and then chased their butts to catch up.

This speed scared them so much that they quickened their pace and walked forward quickly.

After these thousands of people cleaned up the weeds and shrubs on the ground, another thousand people rode on horses and slowly followed up, slashing at the branches above.

They also take turns to fight, and the people in front are also waving black iron knives crazily, chopping down the branches in front of them like rain, and when they are tired from cutting, they will rein in their horses and let them rest. The people behind continued on.

The two groups of people hacked all the way, and soon a passage appeared in the dense jungle.

Except for the thick trunks in the passage, the weeds, shrubs and branches blocking it were all cleaned up, and there was no problem at all for horses to pass slowly through it.

Only at this time did Li Shuben wave his hand to Wang Chong who was behind him, and then followed him into the passage with more than fifty guards.

However, he did not ride a horse.

He seems to be quite interested in the felled weeds, shrubs and branches. From time to time, he will pick up some, take a look, and smell them.

Some, he smelled them and threw them away immediately, but there were also some that he smelled and then put them in the medicine basket hanging on the horse's back.

When Wang Chong saw this, he didn't say anything. He also knew that this lord likes to study herbs.

What's more, the Commander is polite to others, so how dare he talk about them.

He could only lead the remaining [-] people and more than [-] war horses to follow obediently.

I have to say that it is not easy to travel in this primitive jungle

They sent more than [-] people to take turns to open the road ahead, and everyone was cutting desperately. As a result, they worked hard for more than an hour, and they only traveled more than ten miles.

Fortunately, the Indian tribe gathering place closest to the jungle trail is only more than ten miles away.

When they were all sweating profusely, they finally arrived at the place where this primitive tribe lived.

A group of people walked into the gathering place and took a look, they couldn't believe their eyes.

This primitive tribe is so poor, even Zhao Baiyun and other young North American Indians who came with him couldn't help frowning.

Although their North American Indian tribes were poor in the past, they were not so poor.

The Indians here still live in simple thatched huts, and they are the kind that are transparent all around.

The thatched hut is even more crude and a bit scary. Basically, except for a rattan hammock, there is a fire and a few simple clay pots. Even the men, women and children lying on the rattan bed have no clothes on. Just cover one or two big leaves.

This is the most primitive Indian tribe!
Li Shuben didn't think he was poor, he was just a little taken aback, and then went straight into the nearest thatched hut.

In this thatched hut lay an old man whimpering.

He stepped forward to take a closer look at the old man lying on the rattan bed, and ordered the young North American Indian who accompanied him to communicate with him for a while, and then asked him to stick out his tongue for a closer look, and then nodded slightly. Come out of the hut.

Seeing this, Wang Chong hurried forward and asked, "How is it, my lord?"

Li Shuben said slowly: "The situation is not very serious. They should have been poisoned by heat, but they don't know the reason yet. Can you make tortoise jelly?"

Hearing this, Wang Chong couldn't help but said in embarrassment, "I just saw people through it, and I didn't do it myself."

This is actually not difficult, as long as the materials are not mistaken, there is basically no big problem.

Li Shu's own people brought a few big bags of materials for making Guiling jelly, and explained the specific process of making Guiling jelly to Wang Chong, then waved his hand and said: "You order people to set up two iron pots, and first cook Guiling jelly , I'll go look around."

Hearing this, Wang Chong quickly waved his hands to recruit two groups of people and ordered them to set up a stove and prepare firewood.

Li Shuben ordered people to find the chief of the tribe here, and asked him to take him to the place where the tribe often fetches water.

The place where this tribe draws water is a small river next to it. This river is about ten feet wide and only four or five feet deep. The water is relatively clear, and you can basically see the bottom of the river.

The fish in the river are still swimming in the water in groups, and there are no dead fish with white bellies on the river surface. There should be no problem with the water source.

Then why are many people in the nearby tribes sick?

Li Shuben thought for a while, and then led a group of people back to the place where they were stationed. Then he ordered someone to take out a pen and paper, and asked the people here to find out the location of the nearby tribes.

Soon, the elders of the North American Indian tribe who followed him drew a sketch of the nearby tribe, including the direction of the river next to it and the water source of the nearby tribe.

Li Shuben looked at it carefully for a while, and he knew it in his heart.

The reason why many people in the nearby Indian tribes are sick is definitely not caused by the water source, because the nearby tribes do not share a common water source.

Only three of the five nearby tribes get their water from a river, and the other two tribes get their water from a small lake about [-] to [-] miles away from the river.

With such a long distance, the water source is naturally impossible.

Moreover, he had checked carefully just now, and the river water should be fine.

In other words, the reason why many people in the nearby Indian tribes got sick was probably caused by mosquito bites.

Moreover, these mosquitoes should have bred in the same place. It is very likely that something similar to poisonous miasma appeared somewhere in the middle area of ​​the five tribes.

These mosquitoes bred from areas similar to poisonous miasma, so they must have a certain degree of heat toxicity!
