Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 144 Chapter 144

"I'll walk with you." Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly led her back.

Dou Zi kept saluting while wiping away tears, "Thank you Qing Wu! Thank you Qing Wu!"

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the gate of the tribe. Yao Xiaoqing said, "Wait for me at the gate. I'll go back and get some things and go take a look with you."

While walking, she thought about the words of beans. She lost weight shortly after returning home from hunting, and her belly looked like a pregnant woman. Could it be that she drank unboiled water and developed parasites?
Go back and get the medicine bag, think about it and go to the pharmacy to get some tallow bark...

After walking a few steps in a hurry, it suddenly occurred to me that pumpkin seeds can also repel insects, so I grabbed some pumpkin seeds and tuckahoe powder and put them in my bag, and hurried towards the gate.

Yuzi asked Douzi to sit on the long bamboo bench at the gate, looking at her sallow face, she remembered when she was in the Sishan tribe.

"Douzi, where do you live in winter?"

Douzi glanced at Yuzi, "It snows heavily in winter, and the thatched shed collapsed, and everyone huddled in the cave. There are not many people in our tribe, and we can still live there."

Yuzi looked at her and thought about the change of women in the tribe, "Are you going to change the set in summer too?"

Douzi nodded and said, "The tribe doesn't have enough food."

Yuzi thought for a while and said, "Food is not easy to collect, and the leader and the green witch are also worried!"

Douzi answered absently, watching Yao Xiaoqing's direction anxiously.

After a while, I saw her running towards here carrying a bamboo basket.

Douzi stood up and went to meet him.

Yao Xiaoqing said: "Let's go!" She turned her head and said to the bull guarding the gate, and then rushed towards the sparrow tribe with taro.

The three rushed all the way, and it took more than two hours to arrive at the Sparrow Tribe. Several old uncles were beating on the open space with stones.

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the dark red stone with a bit of metallic luster in their hands, and something flashed in his mind.

Douzi took Yao Xiaoqing to the cave where Qiu Shan lived.Qiu Shan, with a sallow complexion, was lying on a piece of animal skin and had already woken up.

"Qingwu..." Seeing Douzi coming in with Yao Xiaoqing, he tried to get up on the ground, but fell down weakly.

Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and said politely: "Chief Qiushan, don't get up, tell me where you drank water when you went hunting, and what's wrong with you?"

She looked at Qiu Shan's swollen belly, she really looked like a pregnant woman.

Douzi came over with a pile of animal skins, stepped forward to help Qiu Shan up, and let him lean on the animal skins.

Qiu Shan said out of breath: "The last time we met the leader of Yaohu in the mountains, we separated and walked towards the mountains."

Qiu Shan took a breath, "I took my tribe to hunt in the mountains, and when I was thirsty, I took some water from a shallow puddle to drink, and I even took a stream to drink..."

"Shortly after I came back, I started to feel unwell. I didn't want to eat food, my chest hurt, and there were bloodshot sputum in my cough and spitting. And the clansman who drank water with me was also uncomfortable, but he was better than me."

Yao Xiaoqing felt that the symptoms of schistosomiasis were very similar to those in the epidemic prevention manual issued by the village.

She continued to ask: "Is there anything like blood and snot in your poop?
Qiu Shan thought for a while, and said, "I've pulled all kinds of things these days."

Yao Xiaoqing thought in his heart: It seems that it is schistosomiasis. I don't know how far it has gone?
"Don't worry, you cook some herbs for you before I drink, take your time, it will be fine."

Qiu Shan looked at Yao Xiaoqing overjoyed, "Qingwu, is what you said true?"

Douzi also looked at her happily.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and said to Douzi, "Take me to boil the medicine for your father to drink. Also, do you have any pounders and honey here?"

Douzi nodded happily, "Yes, I'll get it for you. The stone mortar for pounding is inside. Come with me."

Hearing that they had honey, Yao Xiaoqing was a little surprised, nodded, followed her to the bamboo shed, and saw a large stone mortar inside.

"You go and get the jar, we can just come here."

"Okay." Bean turned and went to get the jar.

Yao Xiaoqing took the bamboo basket carried by Yuzi, and took out tallow bark and pumpkin seeds from it.

Yuzi stared at those pumpkin seeds, "Xiaoqing, this..."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her, "Don't shout, this seed can kill the bugs growing in the stomach."

"There are worms in the stomach?" Taro's eyeballs were about to fall off.

"Is it strange to have worms?" Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Yuzi's stomach, "People used to eat raw meat, and some people had a kind of worm in their stomachs, which was longer than a bamboo pole. Why are you not allowed?" Drink raw water, that's why."

Yuzi felt a little pain in her stomach, and looked at her with a bitter face, "Xiaoqing, I know, I won't drink unboiled water from now on."

Seeing her strange appearance, Yao Xiaoqing laughed out loud, "You don't have worms in your stomach, go find some grass and brush the socket."

Yuzi breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaoqing, you scared me to death." After speaking, he ran out happily.

Dou Zi brought a jar with a chipped opening, "Qing Wu, this jar is the only one left."

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing grabbed a little tallow tree and put it in a jar, "Boil it and give it to your father to drink. Give me the honey and boiled cold water and I'll bring some."

Yuzi came back with a handful of hay, and the two wiped the mortar and the stone pestle clean. Yao Xiaoqing poured the pumpkin seeds into the stone mortar and said, "Mash a little."

"Yeah!" Taro began to pound with a stone pestle.

Carrying two wooden bowls, Dou Zi walked into the hut, "Qing Wu, here are the honey and boiled water for you. The water is a little hot, let it cool down."

It seems that what their tribe drinks is raw water, Yao Xiaoqing told her: "Douzi, tell the people in the tribe not to drink unboiled water in the future, and to go hunting with bamboo tubes to hold boiled water. "

Douzi wrote it down seriously, "Got it. Qing Wu, can the boiled medicine be given to Yangshu?"

"Is that the clansman you told your father about?"

"Yes! He is better, and went out to collect."

"He can drink it too. The medicine here is enough for them to take for two days."

"Thank you Qing Wu! Thank you Qing Wu!"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Go! Give your father the medicine to drink."

After Douzi saluted Yao Xiaoqing gratefully, he walked out.

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the honey in the bowl, picked it up and smelled it, and a sweet and sweet smell came to her nostrils.

"Xiaoqing, the pumpkin seeds have been mashed, can you see if they can be used?" Yuzi raised her head and asked.

"It works."

Yao Xiaoqing added some tuckahoe powder to the pounded pumpkin seeds, and mixed it with cold boiling water and honey.Yuzi sniffed and said with a smile, "Xiaoqing, this medicine should be delicious."

"That's right! There's even honey!" Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing kneaded the reconciled medicine for a while, and together with taro, kneaded the medicine into a ball the size of a pigeon egg, put it in a dry wooden bowl, and took it to the cave where Qiu Shan lived.
