Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 31 Three Root Soup

It is basic common sense that pregnant women should not take medicine indiscriminately.

To be precise, don't take medicine if you can, and get through it if you can.

However, Sangen Decoction can be used to relieve vomiting in pregnant women. In Jiang Jingwan's case, drinking Sangen Decoction is absolutely fine.

Wen Xian patiently explained to Jiang Jingwan and asked her to treat Sangen Soup as daily soup.

But Jiang Jingwan refused to let go and wanted to just endure it and get through it.

In the end, there was nothing else to do. She happened to see Fang Jiaren coming back, so Wen Xian directly pulled Fang Jiaren over and asked Fang Jiaren to talk about whether there was any problem from the perspective of medicinal diet.

Fang Jiaren, who suddenly had hope placed on her, calmly analyzed her and her family's past experiences and came to a conclusion.

That is, she doesn't know either.

"You don't know either?" Jiang Lingling stared and said in surprise, "You have thought about it for so long, but you don't know?"

Did you know that you didn’t know it right away? Why did you have to think about it for so long?

However, Fang Jiaren said matter-of-factly: "Of course I have to think clearly before I know whether I know this or not.

I've thought about it carefully and I really don't know.This does not belong to the category of medicinal diet, and the old man did not teach me. "

In the past, she also made high-end medicinal diets, mainly for her own consumption and occasionally for the emperor.

"However, I don't think there is anything wrong with the three-root soup. Just think of it as a wild vegetable soup." She added in a saving manner, "In the past, I have never heard of soups made from these herbs. I have heard of kudzu root, and it can be used directly. Chew and eat.”

Jiang Jingwan's expression changed slightly: "Chew and eat?"

"Yes, chew it." Fang Jiaren nodded, "I saw a sister-in-law eating it in the past. By the way, she was also pregnant at that time."

It's just that the sister-in-law was a distant relative, so she didn't particularly care, so she didn't bother to ask anything.

Wen Xian nodded in agreement: "You can indeed chew it. If you are worried, just chew it first. However, the effect of three soups will be better."

Seeing the three pots of soup in the clay pot about to boil, she finally remembered that she had forgotten something.

She stood up in a hurry and said hurriedly: "I'm going out first, the wolf cub forgot."

When the wild boar came earlier, she took the wolf cub to a tree and hid it.However, when she came down from the tree, she was busy picking up kudzu roots and really forgot about it.

The little wolf that has not yet opened its eyes is very dangerous in the mountains.If you are not careful, you will be eaten by other beasts.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

It was already noon and the sun was shining in the woods. Even if there were wild boars and wild wolves, Wen Xian didn't feel anything to be afraid of.

Holding the dagger tightly in her hand, she quickly returned to the mountain from the original path.

Sure enough, she found the wolf cub she had hidden in the tree she climbed earlier.

She climbed up the tree in three attempts, carefully picked up the wolf cub and put it into her sleeve, then carefully climbed down the tree, took the wolf cub out of her sleeve, and then walked back quickly.

The wolf cub was fast asleep and turned over in her hand to continue sleeping.Wen Xian's heart warmed slightly when she saw it, and she couldn't help but move its fur.

As if aware of her kindness, the wolf cub stuck out his tongue and licked her hand like a puppy.

She held the wolf cub up to her eyes in surprise, just in time to see the wolf cub slightly open its eyes and look at her confusedly.

Wen Xian's eyes widened. Just when she wanted to take a closer look, she found that the wolf cub turned over and fell asleep again.

She had no choice but to give up and go back to the cave first.

In such a short time, three soups have been boiled. The soup was made from rainwater collected last night.After boiling a pot of three soups like this, half of the accumulated rainwater was gone.

Except for Jiang Jingwan, Wen Xian made them each drink a bowl of three root soup.

After the three soups have cooled down, just scoop them out with banana leaves and drink them.

Seeing that everyone was drinking, Jiang Jingwan gritted her teeth and drank a small bowl, which made Wen Xian breathe a sigh of relief.

Although whether to drink or not depends on Jiang Jingwan herself.After all, she is responsible for her own body. She reminded her that it is up to Jiang Jingwan whether she drinks or not.

But secretly, she still hoped that Jiang Jingwan would follow the doctor's instructions, trust her medical skills, and be responsible for herself.

While making three soups, Wen Xian threw eleven taros into the fire to roast.Now pull it out and share one with each other, it’s just right.

It was the first time for others to eat taro roasted like this, but at least they had eaten many good things before, so they did not lose their manners. They only ate a little faster.

After eating a taro, Wen Xian instantly felt like she was alive.At least there was something in her stomach, so she had time to look at the extra things in the cave.

While she was out digging for medicine, others were not idle either.

Someone went to the banana tree and came back with a lot of bananas that were half green and half yellow.Someone went to pick up a lot of wet firewood and came back to replace the ones used last night.

In short, except for Jiang Jingwan, who is the patient, and Jiang Lingling, who is the escort, everyone else has work to do.

Wen Xian had a smile in her eyes, and at least she restrained herself from not being able to support so many people.

Although there may seem to be a lot of taros, there are actually only about 40 of them.

There are eleven of them, and if each of them has one at a time, they can only eat four meals.

I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.Rather than raising so many people, she prefers a life where one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

After eating and drinking, others began to sit or lie down for a lunch break, but Wen Xian began to set up an earthen stove at the entrance of the cave.

It happened to have rained last night and the soil on the ground was wet. Just use a wooden stick to pry it off and you could lift up a large piece of it.

Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui gathered around her. Without asking any questions, they directly started to help pull the dirt.

Seeing this, Hu Keer simply got up and ran out to help.

But she still couldn't help but ask: "Madam, are you planning to build a wolf's den?"

It was inevitable that the wolf cubs would stay, so it was reasonable to build a nest outside the cave to protect them from wind and rain.

Wen Xian's movements in her hand paused slightly, and she said: "I am building an earthen stove. It is different from other earthen stoves. This earthen stove of mine has to be used to refine fresh water for daily drinking."

Relying on heaven and earth is better than relying on yourself. Refining water is more effective than anything else.It's just a bit troublesome, and I can only accumulate it little by little.

"Taishui?" Hu Ke'er frowned slightly, "Can you still make fresh water yourself?"

Wen Xian nodded: "Of course you can. Seawater evaporates and condenses, and the evaporated water vapor solidifies and you can drink it. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than drinking without water."

In addition to making an earth stove, a pit must be dug next to it to collect the distilled water.

This project is a bit large. She doesn't have to do anything today, so she can only make the earthen stove first.

Hu Ke'er nodded as if she understood: "Anyway, I'll know as soon as Madam makes it. If there is anything that needs to be done, Madam can just tell you."

She didn't have much life experience, but she knew that what Wen Xian said was right.

She finally figured out that if she wanted to survive on this desert island, she could only follow Wen Xian's footsteps.
