Villager of Daming

Chapter 1169 Everything is going to rain in the summer

"It was raining heavily and I thought it would stop by the afternoon..."

After watching the suturing and bandaging, Wu Liangduo finally remembered to answer the question and talk about his hardships along the way.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the tribal leaders fled first because they were afraid of being intercepted. They all thought that the rain would stop in the afternoon, but it continued to rain until the evening.

People can't eat, and horses can't eat either. They can't stop to feed the horses. With such heavy rain, once the hay bag is opened, the bag will be completely gone, and the rain-stained hay will eat up the horses' stomachs.

Everyone persisted. A man can stand without food, and a horse carries a lot of goods. Without fodder, it has no strength.

Seeing that there was no light left in the sky, they had to build a temporary small shed made of cut branches. They went out without a tent because the tent would get in the way.

They always carry dry food and put it in a leather bag. When they are hungry, they can grab a handful and eat it. More space and weight are provided for the goods.

Water dripped from the temporary tree branch shed, the hay bales were opened, and the horses came to eat, and then fed the horses precious soy flour and salt.

"The rainwater was not clean. After the horse ate the rainwater-stained food, it was like accidentally eating drunken horse grass. It fell down immediately, and the whole body was hot. It was useless to bleed. It was dead, all dead. At that time... "

He talked about other tribes. After leaving, at noon, tribes began to leave alone or in groups, and everyone dispersed.

"They were afraid that the horses would die, so I asked their people to help transport our goods, so they left without saying goodbye. Is that what they said? In fact, I... uh... I won't say this anymore and just left.

On the premise of rich natural resources, tribal leaders can have more opportunities to develop. For example, his Brar tribe has blacksmiths who can forge weapons and mine iron ore for smelting. As for steel, it needs constant Processing of iron.

He was with two other smaller tribes. The other party mainly saw that his tribe was big and could provide protection. If someone came after him, they had many people and everyone could huddle together for warmth.

The two tribes left quietly in the morning in the rain, taking what they could carry and throwing away the rest.

Those two tribes didn't have it. They suffered a loss in exchanging things. They had no way to do it, they couldn't defeat them, and they didn't have the technology.

When it's time to make weapons, the blacksmiths in this tribe will coat the steel with iron.

Running out early in the morning in fear, not eating well on the road, plus getting wet in the rain, and worrying about the horses, so much cargo couldn't be transported, it was unbearable.

As soon as they left, we left by ourselves, taking the expensive goods with us. We couldn't take the horses, and we couldn't eat the horse meat. If it got wet in the rain, we wouldn't be able to make a fire, and it would kill people.

As a result, after walking a short distance, everyone discussed and decided to take the medicine first, fearing that it would be too late for those who were sick to take it later. Who would have thought…"

The two tribes combined had thirty-two people and few horses. The smaller the tribe, the smaller the population. At the same time, there were fewer slaves and fewer large animals.

Or joining steel to iron, a blacksmith can do it, it is a routine operation.

As Wu Liangduo spoke, he looked at Liu Sheng. He wondered, what kind of medicine did you give me? Why does it get worse the more I eat? Even if you are not sick, you will get sick from eating it.

Then the horses of those two tribes were also disabled, a lot of things were there, and in the middle of the night people started to get sick.

Wu Liangduo attributed the horse's problem to the rain. If the rain was bad, how could all the horses be affected?

Liu Sheng looked concerned: "Is it symptomatic? Is it damp-heat, damp-cold, or wind-cold? There can't be anything wrong with the medicine. It's not just sold to you. You haven't taken it before?"

It was impossible for Liu Sheng to admit that it was the people from Xiaqiu Village who helped deal with the medicine, but...

"Did you also drink rainwater? Didn't you boil it before drinking? Now the sergeant is telling you, don't drink raw water, boil the water. If you want to drink it cold, boil it first and let it cool before drinking." Ling'er helped. Analyze and see if the horse fell down after drinking rainwater, is the person...

The officials in Gaizhou County were sweating profusely when they saw Ling'er's expression. They didn't dare to say a word. It was too cruel. You were poisoned and you acted like a good person.

Wu Liangduo was stunned and recalled: "It's raining, the water in the water bag is gone. I know how to boil hot water, but I don't know how to do it in the heavy rain."

Yes, there’s something wrong with the rain, oops! It’s the dog days of rain! If I had known better, I should have brought dry firewood and good dry coal on the way.

Our people were sick. When they saw that the medicine wouldn't work even if they were so far away, they wanted to come back. Some of them were afraid of being killed if they came back.

Some people were confused and fell into a ditch, breaking their legs. Everyone looked at themselves and had to go back. This way..."

Wu Liangduo agreed with Ling'er's analysis. Everything was due to the rain. The rain in the dog days was different from the ordinary rain.

Everyone walked back, carrying their goods, but the road was slippery and people got sick. From time to time someone fell down, and some died after rolling down the mountain.

At first, everyone could use wet branches as stretchers. As the number of people who fell increased, some had to carry them on their backs, while others gritted their teeth and held on.

On the way back, the sun came out, and in the sweltering heat, I was the last to stand...

Wu Liangduo started to cry again when he said this. He was the only one standing at this moment. He did not bring any goods, and he was not responsible for carrying or carrying people.

'Wow~~~Wow~~~vomit~~~cough cough cough...' Someone is vomiting, and they are given salt water to vomit again, and they are induced to vomit, so as not to leave any medicine left in their stomach.

Tell the people of this tribe that when it comes to rainwater, they have to spit it out. Only by spitting out the rainwater they drink can people get better.

"You are too weak now, let me give you steamed eggs! Each of you will eat egg custard made with three eggs first.

All the money for medical treatment is waived. You can't just die without saving him. The Ming Dynasty does not allow it. Our Majesty loves the people like his own son.

Don't worry, I don't want to keep your things. I just hope that you will get better soon. When you go back, you will continue to collect things and trade with us. "

Ling'er suggested that the living ones should be given good food to replenish themselves, and the dead ones should be looked at to see if they had a chance to survive, although it was basically impossible.

Six died, and the remaining 44 people were all sick or injured, including the leader Wu Liangduo. He needed to recuperate at the moment and kept taking medicine.

Your team must pretend to be good people and never let them know the reason behind it, otherwise...

Wu Liangduo's condition was obviously not good enough. When he heard that he could get help, tears were about to flow. He was so touched. He had been wrong before.

Could Beiyuan treat people like himself like this under the same circumstances? They will only ask where the goods were lost, and then send someone to pick them up. If they don't give it to themselves, whoever picks it up will get it.

Amid gratitude and hums, the forty-four people who survived were settled, and the dead were buried on the spot. There was no need to take them back to the tribe. If there was no one to take them, the road would stink. Who would be willing to use a lot of salt and lime to treat them? ? That stinks too.

The village chief watched them leave and shook his head: "What a pitiful people! It rained so heavily. I was in a hurry to bring the goods back to the tribe, thinking about my family. Unfortunately, fate played tricks. The rain in the dog days of this year was different from usual. Different! Well! Different!

Gaizhou County officials: “…”
