Chapter 43
Zhang Tian looked at the right time, approached Lin Yu, stretched out his hand, pointed to the swollen bump on the back of his hand that had been stung by bees, and said, "Master Wizard! Please heal me!"

Herbal medicine can heal diseases and injuries. People in the clan have heard it many times, but after all, they have not seen it with their own eyes, and they are not sure of its authenticity. Moreover, they have no habit of healing diseases and injuries. Usually, there are bruises, headaches, and brain fever. Bear with it It's over.

Someone needs to take the lead in eating crabs. This person is naturally Zhang Tian who is the most suitable person. He is the one who knows Lin Yu's skills best in the tribe. He is a dignified Ph. D. from Peking University, and he will not be cured of a sting and put him to death. There is still some trust in this .

Everyone gathered around, three floors inside and three floors outside, wanting to see how wizards heal illnesses and wounds.

Bai struggled to get in through the thick thighs of her uncle, aunt, brother and sister, and returned the white stone to Lin Yu with a sad face. She tried several times just now to confirm that she was not a wizard, which hurt her young heart greatly.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Yu knelt down and asked, this is one of the few sentences she has mastered so far.

"I also want to be like Nuwa."

Bai pursed her lips in displeasure. She hadn't learned to speak for a long time, her speech was very slow, and her words were relatively simple. Lin Yu half-heard and half-guessed, and basically understood what she meant.

Lin Yu gestured and said: "Even if you don't have the ability like Nuwa, you can still become a person like Nuwa, as long as you have a brave, kind, and gentle heart."

Lan Hua translated her words to Bai Ting, and at the same time to the clansmen.

Bai blinked and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "If you want, you can learn from me about using flowers and plants to cure diseases. Do you know all the pictures carved on those bamboo tubes?"

"I know!" Bai nodded vigorously, and said proudly, "I carved the clover!"

"Great! Then go and bring me the yellow chrysanthemums, shepherd's purse leaves and soap, will you?"

"it is good!"

Bai happily went, and the onlookers moved out of the way, Feng Ye was afraid that his daughter would take the wrong one, so she also followed.

She has seen the sting on the back of Zhang Tian's hand. The sting has been removed. Apart from swelling, there is no other problem. If there is no treatment, it will heal in a day or two.

All she can do is to apply some herbal medicine to prevent infection and speed up wound healing, so as to advance the healing time.

Bai quickly fetched soap and bamboo tubes containing yellow chrysanthemums and shepherd's purse leaves.

Lin Yu first used soap to clean Zhang Tian's wound, then took a small amount of yellow chrysanthemum and shepherd's purse leaves, put them in a bowl, added a little hot water, mashed them into a mud with a wooden stick, and then spread the flower and grass mud evenly on the wound. .

Seeing that there was also a sting on Zhang Tian's forehead, she moved closer and stretched out her hands to apply it on him. The movements were very gentle and patient, and she really looked like a wizard. The women were quite moved by seeing it, and they had been lingering for a long time. Shanye, who hasn't had a hidden disease yet?

After applying it on him, there was still a lot left, Lin Yu said to the men: "Who else has been stung, take this and apply it on yourself, and the swelling will subside soon."

The men are still watching, but the women have no doubts at all. These flowers and plants are edible in themselves, and they are the best for curing diseases. their respective demands.

Some have been cut by barbs while collecting, some have had an unbearable headache due to wind-cold infection, some have mouth ulcers and loss of appetite, some have abdominal pain near menstruation, and some have difficulty defecating and anal hemorrhoids...

In the past, there were no wizards, and there was no way to seek medical treatment. Even if everyone suffered from illness, they could only grit their teeth and endure it silently, unwilling to expose their weak side, and did not want to cause trouble to the tribe. It's not just me, the people of the clan are more or less uncomfortable.

In fact, the elderly suffer more injuries, especially grandma.

From the first day here, Lin Yu has been focusing on observing this old man who is suspected to be the leader of the tribe.

Grandma's age is evident in her sunken eye sockets and gray hair. Her teeth are worn out and her gums are bleeding badly. In order to avoid chewing, she only eats very little soup every day, hardly any meat, Talk often.

Living in a cold and damp cave for a long time, Grandma suffered from rheumatism and arthritis like other elderly people. The extremities were especially affected. A slight movement would cause pain, so she didn't move around very often, almost all day long. They all sat by the bonfire, watching her children, often sitting and falling asleep, and it took a long time to wake up.

After getting along these few days, Lin Yu has never seen a painful expression on Grandma's face. Even at this moment, she is still smiling and looking at her children from a distance, without showing any desire to seek treatment. It seems that as long as the children live well, she will not feel pain.

Facing women's strange diseases, Lin Yu, who can cure and has ready-made herbal medicines, boils simple decoctions or grinds medicines for external application for them. flowers and plants.

One side of the cave was full of heat, and on the other side of the cave, after receiving treatment, Zhang Tian sat alone and opened Lin Yu's notepad.

"To Savage Days:
Let me guess, did you tell them the story of Nuwa mending the sky, and then lied that my stone is a five-color stone left over from mending the sky?

It's interesting to see you telling fairy tales to the wildlings in a serious manner. I hope I can learn the language here as soon as possible, and I can listen to your stories in the future.

Closer to home, regarding the issue of southward migration, during my master’s degree, I did a local climate study of the Yellow River Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge during the Younger Dryas period with my supervisor. I will first briefly explain the research results and then share my views.

The river section of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge is located near the 40th parallel north latitude, which belongs to the semi-arid and semi-monsoon climate zone. During the Younger Dryas period, the river section was in an extremely dry and cold environment. The winter monsoon was strong and the summer monsoon was weak, and the water level of the Yellow River dropped significantly. The floodplain and Jiangxinzhou are exposed in large areas, and a large amount of sand is transported to the bank under the action of wind, and accumulates on both sides of the valley to form slopes.

In other words, the cold current has a considerable impact on the area north of the 40th parallel north latitude. Maybe you have no specific concept of the 40th parallel north latitude. The capital of our country is located on this line.

If we want to find a place suitable for long-term settlement and agricultural development, we need to cross this line to the south at least, which is equivalent to migrating from the territory of Heilongjiang Province to the North China Plain. It will take a month or two to be conservative. It is not easy!

Do you like spicy food?Where are you from?
I'm sorry to tell you that peppers are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, and it's impossible to find them in this mountain.As for substitutes, common dogwood and ginger are not products of the middle temperate zone. Only horseradish and wasabi are hardy and can take root in this area. These two plants are often used to make mustard, as you must know.

I'll keep an eye out for you. "

Zhang Tian closed the notepad with a slightly serious expression.

If survival cannot be guaranteed, development is out of the question. For the future of the tribe, it is necessary to settle in the warm south.

But for such a long-distance migration, everything on the way is unknown, and the estimate of one or two months is too optimistic. He only hopes to set off at the beginning of spring next year and find a new home before winter comes.
