"A Xiao," Lei smiled and dug into the soil with the stone knife in his hand, dug out a snow-white bamboo shoot and handed it to Lin Xiao, saying, "This is a knot that has not grown up yet. This one is edible and tastes good. "
Lin Xiao took the ungrown knot from Lei's hand and observed it carefully. He was convinced that it was definitely a bamboo shoot. However, the bamboo shoots in the other world were much larger than those in the modern world. A bamboo was tall and long. The thick part made Lin Xiao have to use his arms to hug the most common bamboo, which was the knotty tree mentioned by Lei.
Lin Xiao tapped the bamboo with his hand, and at the same time heard Lei explain: "The branches of the knot tree can be made into cups for drinking water, and we just need this at home!"
"This thing is called bamboo over there. It can be used not only to make cups, but also to make mats!" Lin Xiao happily looked at the bamboo in front of him. Bamboo from another world saved my life!
"Lang mat?" When Lie heard the word from Lin Xiao's mouth, his eyes suddenly grew bigger. He knew that Lin Xiao was definitely going to get something ready again. The little guy's eyes were shining, and he looked straight at Lin Xiao, waiting for Ling Xiao. Xiao gave the order and immediately started to help make things!
Lei also looked at Lin Xiao with expectant eyes. Ah Xiao was so powerful and knew everything. He asked Lin Xiao in a low voice: "What is a mat?"
"Hey, you'll know later! Cut a few and take them back. It's a bit troublesome to make the mat. I'm afraid we have to come here several times!" When Lin Xiao thought about sleeping on the mat at night, his whole face was filled with tears. With a faint smile.
He was so happy. He was not as happy as he was when he saw bamboo today even when there were fans and air conditioners in the past.
Because bamboo has no air holes, it is easier to absorb heat from the human body than a straw mat. Lin Xiao only knew a little about making mats, so he needed to do some research before he could officially start work.
Several people dug some bamboo shoots and brought them with them, and cut two bamboos at the same time. The main reason was that they were difficult to carry. After taking the bamboos back, before Lin Xiao could say anything, Lie asked excitedly: "Axiao, what are we going to do now?" ?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the bamboo and said, "First break the bamboo into small pieces."
"Okay!" Lie didn't ask any more questions and took action directly.
"The cool mat you are talking about is similar to a straw mat, but what is the difference between a cool mat and a straw mat?" Lei asked curiously.
Lin Xiao explained: "Actually, these two things have similar functions, but the mat is more practical than the straw mat. The straw mat is very hot when sleeping, but sleeping on the mat will make you cool. At least you won't wake up in the middle of the night."
"Is it okay to just use these bamboos?" Lei even changed the name directly. Because Lin Xiao said this thing was called 'bamboo', he simply called Jieshu by the name Lin Xiao said.
Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, and with bamboo, we can dry the leaves and make cattail leaves fans, then we don't have to pick leaves so often."
The two brothers had already sharpened their knives and prepared for a big fight. They started to move. Lin Xiao also selected a few sections from the middle to use as containers for food. Naturally, the movements of the three of them could not be hidden from the ronin who lived nearby. .
Many ronin came secretly to take a peek. They all knew that these three newly moved ronin were very good and could make many weird and useful things. They were the first to make straw sandals, and they even made barbecue with lemon fruit. They came up with it too!
Thinking of lemon fruit barbecue, everyone couldn't help but lick their lips. After lemon fruit was applied to the surface of the meat, the originally rough meat became very tender before eating, and the texture was soft and delicious.
Seeing a few ronin pretending to be casually passing by and peeking at what they were doing, Lie didn't give those people a good look. He turned around silently and hid the work in his hands, "These people are stealing lessons again! It's true! Hate!"
Lie complained angrily to Lin Xiao in a low voice, but Lin Xiao smiled and didn't care. In fact, he made the bamboo mat mainly for sleeping at night. Even if these ronin learned it, they might not spend the time to do it. Making a mat is not very attractive to these wanderers because it is time-consuming, inedible, and of little practical use.
It's just that he was used to modern life, so he couldn't stand this kind of weather. He felt uncomfortable all over due to the heat and woke up from the heat every night. For a modern homebody who used to die without air conditioning, this was simply a life worse than death.
"It's okay, ignore them." Lin Xiao threw the cut bamboo pieces into the water and washed them, then placed them on the stone slab to drain the water, and then slowly rubbed the edges of the bamboo pieces with a stone knife. Lei and Lie also I was not idle, so I helped to do these things, but I didn't make many bamboo slices all day long.
…
"I heard that we can exchange hay for meat. Is it true?" A dirty child, probably younger than Lie, walked up to Lie nervously and asked cautiously, with eyes full of tears. Some are afraid of seeing strangers.
When Lie saw the child, he glanced at him and said, "No, we have enough hay!"
The child had a disappointed look on his face. He turned around secretly and glanced in a direction behind him. His eyes were red, and tears as big as beans fell down, and he started crying.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao came out of the room and saw a child wiping tears at the door of his house. Looking at the child's thin body, it was obvious that he was malnourished... This child was better than an African big-headed doll.
The child didn't see Lin Xiao and cried a little sadly. Lin Xiao frowned and looked at Lie aside.
Lie shook his head hastily, raised his hands and said, "I don't know. He said he wanted to exchange hay for meat, but the hay used to build the hayloft had already been exchanged. He just told him that we wouldn't exchange it, and then he cried! What did I do? Didn't even do it!"
"Why are you crying?" Lin Xiao patted the child's head and asked.
The child was patted, like a frightened deer, it subconsciously shrank its neck.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The child raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao, with some fear in his eyes. His voice was thin and weak, "I want a piece of meat, give it to my dad...my dad is injured."
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, glanced at the malnourished child, and said to Lie, "Give it to him instead. Anyway, we still need some hay to lay under the bed."
Lie nodded and said to the child: "Let's go, follow me."
The child hurriedly said: "Thank you!"
The child took the meat and immediately took Lie to his house to get hay.
Lin Xiao glanced at the bamboo frame that Lie and Lei had built. As long as they threw the hay on it, it would be their work shed. Lin Xiao thought about it. They couldn't work with the sun on their heads every day, but when they entered the house, they couldn't work under the bright sun. It was too dark, so he used the thinner parts of the bamboo as supports to make this thing.
Lin Xiao put the bamboo strips on the ground to dry. He waited for a long time before he saw Lie coming back. As soon as he came back, Lie put the hay behind the house.
Lin Xiao slowly placed the hay on the roof. When he finished the shed, he clapped his hands, looked at Lie and asked, "Why are you peeking at me? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Lie looked at Lin Xiao and whispered, "I just saw Fu's father."
"Fu?" Lin Xiao asked back, meaning who is this?
"That's the kid just now." Lie went to Fu's house to get hay just now. He saw Fu's father lying on the bed. Fu's father's foot was broken while hunting. If Wu Zhu didn't pray for him, his foot was broken. Wu, this means incapacity and death. "His father's leg is broken."
"I thought of Abba...Abba's hand was broken at that time. If he hadn't dragged his broken arm out to find food for us...he wouldn't have disappeared..."
"Okay," Lin Xiao patted Lie's back with his hand. It turned out that the child was thinking of his father. He sighed, and then said: "Well, you take me to his house to take a look at the situation."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lie's eyes flashed with light: "A Xiao, can you pray to witches?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, "What is witchcraft?"
Through Lie's explanation, Lin Xiao understood what witchcraft was.
Praying for witchcraft is the most popular method of treatment in the wilderness era. To put it simply, it is a dancing master. However, the dancing masters in this world are different from the dancing masters in the modern world. The dancing masters in the wild world are really useful and can cure all kinds of diseases. The sick kind.
However, Lin Xiao didn't know how. He just wanted to...if it was just an ordinary fracture, he could use two wooden boards to help clamp the affected area, and then rely on the strong physical fitness of the barbarians to slowly repair it, and it would be within one foot of the bone. It can grow well, but if it's a comminuted fracture...then there's nothing he can do.
Lie hurriedly took Lin Xiao to Fu's home.
Fu saw that Lin Xiao was a little scared. He had just finished grilling the meat, and when he saw Lin Xiao and Lie, he thought that the two had gone back on their word. He subconsciously hid the meat behind him and stared at Lin Xiao and Lie like a little leopard.
"Don't worry, we're not here for meat, we're just here to take a look at your father." Lin Xiao explained.
Fu obviously didn't believe it. He stared at Lin Xiao closely. At this moment, a voice came from the room, "Ah Fu, who is talking outside?"
"Hello, we are also ronin who live nearby. I heard that you were injured. Come and have a look." Lin Xiao walked around Fu's obstruction and walked in. He saw a young man lying on the bed with one of his legs twisted. From a weird angle, it was obvious that the foot was the one he had broken off.
"What... do you want to do?" the man asked with a frown, but he did not show any hostility, because Lin Xiao looked like an underage child, and needless to say, Lie was a child.
"Let me come and take a look at your feet," Lin Xiao asked after a visual inspection, "You should be able to solve your injury with the Bahrain tribe. Why do you stay at home?"
Fu's father shook his head and said, "Bahrain Wu Zhu is a shaman from the Bahrain tribe. How could he pray for us wanderers?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while. He still didn't understand the world very well, but he believed that using modern scientific methods should be able to replace praying for witchcraft... and dancing to the great god.
Lin Xiao glanced at Lie next to him and said to Lie, "I know what you want to say. I'll give it a try. There's no guarantee of success."
Lie nodded: "Axiao will definitely succeed in praying for witchcraft!"
Fu's little head:?
Fu's father asked: "Are you a witch?"
Lin Xiao turned his head, took a deep breath, and said to his father who was lying down: "I'm not, I don't know how to pray, but I will try to help you deal with your injury. Of course, I can't guarantee success."
Lin Xiao took a rope made of hay, paired it with bamboo slices, put some soft hay inside the bamboo slices, clamped it on Sen's feet, and tinkered with it for a long time.
These skills were the skills he learned after he was sent to the hospital after dislocating his bone while playing basketball. Unexpectedly, he would actually put it to use today.
"Is this enough? Can my father's foot really be healed?" Fu Xiao asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiao nodded: "I just checked. He just suffered a common fracture. The problem is not serious. He only needs to use a wooden board to fix the injury and rest for a period of time to recover."
Abba Sen was so confused that he looked confused... If anyone is injured like this, he can only be cured by praying to witches and receiving the blessings from his ancestors! Ten years ago, he was a tribesman and had seen how Wu Zhu prayed for witchcraft. It was completely different from what he is doing now. Moreover, after praying for witchcraft, his body would immediately recover, but his affected area still hurt...
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Just rest like this for a while. Your physical fitness is good, so it shouldn't take long. By the way, don't get out of bed and move around. Wait until you're ready."
Sen was confused. Seeing that Lin Xiao was serious and didn't look like he was joking, he nodded. Although he was skeptical, he decided to listen to Lin Xiao: "Okay, I got it!"
