Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 36
Niu Shou Mountain ten miles outside Tancheng.

It is less than ten miles away from Tancheng. There are several springs on the mountain, and there is an apricot forest in the mountain.

The mountain is slightly steep according to visual inspection, which is not suitable for wild planting of crops.But if it is to open up terraced fields in the city, it is no better than a place with flat terrain.

Generally speaking, Niu Shou Mountain has a good location, and the vegetation is growing well. It will be a good settlement if you manage it carefully.

This place is not occupied, mainly because the mountain is too steep, which is not a problem in Lin Xiaoxiao's view.

The undeveloped wild mountains are full of dangers.Poisonous insects, wild animals, poisonous flowers, poisonous weeds, and miasma can kill people.

Lin Xiaoxiao was wearing mountaineering clothing, a scarf, goggles and a mask, with no skin exposed on her whole body.

She held a shotgun in her hand and a machete on her waist.

The shotgun belongs to Lin Xiaoxiao's father, and it has not been used for a long time.Lin Xiaoxiao took it out when she opened the wilderness Mang Mountain before.The bullets of this gun are all blanks and have no lethality.

Lin Xiaoxiao chose it because of the loud sound when shooting, which can scare away more difficult beasts.

Fang Meiya followed behind her, wearing the full protective suit Lin Xiaoxiao gave her, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, paying attention to the situation on both sides and behind her.She also has a machete hanging from one side of her waist and a pheasant on the other.

There are only two of them entering the mountain today.

Wu Yong and Zhong Qian have already returned to Yemang Mountain.The original plan was to let Wu Yong go back alone, but after everyone discussed it, it was decided that two people would go back together, just in case something happened to one person.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Meiya went to the mountain today to pick apricots.

They went to Tancheng a few days ago and found that the medical department in Tancheng buys fresh apricots and almonds, and there are also dried apricots sold in pastry shops.

This is a way to make money, not to be missed.

Now it is late autumn, and there are not many fruits left on the apricot tree, and there are even fewer edible ones.But there are a lot of fallen and rotten apricots on the ground, you can wash them and pick out the almonds.

On the way up the mountain, I met a pheasant and killed it.Lunch at noon has settled down.

All the way up, after passing halfway up the mountain, the two came to a cave.

Fang Meiya checked the trap left by the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that there was no problem, the two entered the cave.

The entrance of this cave is only the width of three people, and it is about ten meters away to walk in, and there is a cave inside.

The mountainside of this mountain is actually empty, and after entering from this cave, there is a canyon-like paradise.

The four of Lin Xiaoxiao decided to move the village here because they liked this cave.

Lin Xiaoxiao now understands that this era is full of wars.

War is unavoidable, no matter which country she is in, because the ultimate trend of this era is unity.

Rather than keep moving and fleeing for their lives, it is better to find a relatively safe place to hide.

After seeing the world behind this cave, Lin Xiaoxiao remembered the saying "Dig deep, accumulate food widely".

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to live on this mountain. If war broke out here, she and the villagers would hide in the small world behind the cave.

Fang Meiya, Zhong Qian and Wu Yong also agreed with Lin Xiaoxiao's proposal.

The main reason is that no one wants to run away, and everyone wants to have a stable home.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Meiya didn't go behind the cave.That piece of "Little Taoyuan" has not been cleaned up, so it is hard to say that there are some poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in it.

They found a place to rest at the entrance of the cave, found firewood and roasted pheasants to eat.

After lunch, I went to Xinglin again, but I met someone on the road.

"Shannu, there are people in front, a man and a woman."

Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand left and right, and replaced the shotgun with a bow and arrow.

I saw a man lying on the ground under a tree not far ahead, and a woman next to him was rummaging anxiously on him.

People these days are still very simple.

Fang Meiya walked over first and asked, "Do you need help?"

Only then did the woman discover Lin Xiaoxiao and Fang Meiya, and she froze for a moment before showing a surprised expression on her face.

"My brother was bitten by a snake, and our antidote is gone, have you brought it?"

"Snake? Where is it?" Fang Meiya asked.

The woman pointed to the little snake on the ground next to it that had been smashed to pieces by the stones.

Fang Meiya walked over and took a closer look at the snakes on the ground, distinguishing the type of snake to judge its toxicity.

Fang Meiya, who was born in Orion, is better at dealing with such sudden situations than Lin Xiaoxiao.

Fang Meiya skillfully took out a dagger to dig out the carrion from the unconscious man's wound, then took out the medicine powder and scattered it on the wound, and wrapped the wound with sackcloth soaked in the juice of Artemisia annua.

Soaking Artemisia annua juice with sackcloth was proposed by Lin Xiaoxiao, which has the effect of preventing wound infection.

The medicine powder Fang Meiya used was suitable for the symptoms, and the man's slightly blue face quickly turned pale.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears on her face, and thanked Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Thank you two for saving lives. My name is Axiu, and this is my younger brother Achai. We are from Yangshou Mountain next door."

Axiu took the initiative to introduce that the two siblings came to Niushou Mountain today to find a kind of medicinal material called magnolia.Originally, they would carry some antidote powder with them like Fang Meiya when they went out, just to deal with this sudden situation, but she couldn't find it on her brother just now.

"A Chai must have forgotten to bring it today. He is always careless. After returning home, he must be beaten to let him remember."

"Are you looking for Xin Yi?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Did you find it?"

Axiu said with a disappointed face: "No, my father caught a cold a few nights ago, and asked a doctor to prescribe a prescription, but we are too poor to afford the medicinal materials, so we only asked someone about the appearance of the medicinal materials, and then we wanted to buy medicines. Look for it on the mountain."

In the past two days, Axiu and Achai have searched Yangshou Mountain all over, and today they want to try their luck at Niu Shou Mountain next door.

"No wonder." Lin Xiaoxiao had never seen Xin Yi in Niu Shou Mountain, and felt that the surrounding environment was not suitable for Xin Yi to grow at all.

"Do you only need magnolia?" Lin Xiaoxiao has a lot of medicinal materials in her warehouse, including magnolia.Because magnolia is the main medicine for treating wind and cold, she exchanged a lot with the savage villages when she was in Hu country.

Axiu said dejectedly: "There are still several medicines missing."

"Have you brought the prescription?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked again.

Axiu took out a piece of torn linen from her bosom, on which was written with charcoal.

It is indeed a prescription for treating typhoid fever.Lin Xiaoxiao had never seen a patient before, so she didn't dare to say whether the prescription was good or bad.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "I have some medicinal materials at home, you may need them."

She can take out the medicinal materials from the warehouse at any time, but it's not very good to give them directly right now.If the other party thinks that they collected these medicines in Niu Shou Mountain, and they might come here to collect medicines in the future, it will be very inconvenient.

Axiu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.There are also medicinal materials in pharmacies, but they can't afford them.She didn't think the two people in front of her would give her medicinal materials for free.

"That's it, you go down the mountain with us to get the medicinal materials first, as for the medicine money, you can use other things to offset it."
