Chapter 44 Big Tree Tribe
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Tian went to the river to fetch water with his clansmen, and washed his face by the river. The cold river water stimulated his face, and the sleepiness in the morning was all gone, and he became sober in an instant.

He looked at the reflection on the river, and found that the sting on his forehead had subsided, and he looked at the back of his hand, and the swelling had subsided. Looking at the other men, they were still swollen.

He immediately publicized it in a big way, and the women echoed it one after another. The one whose hand was cut by the barb said that her wound was scabbed, the one who was infected with the cold said that her head pain was not so bad, and the one who was approaching her period said that her abdomen pain was gone and she couldn't poop. She said that she was finally unobstructed... It seemed that everyone's condition improved overnight.

It is inevitable that some people exaggerate, but the effect should also be there. After all, it is the first time to take medicine, so the effect may be more obvious.

The so-called three people become a tiger. After hearing the praises from the women and comparing the stings of themselves and Zhang Tian, ​​the men no longer had any doubts, and hurried back to the cave to seek medical treatment, but they did not see the wizard.

This time point is not in the cave, probably went to the mountains to pull wild shit.

Zhang Tian put the notepad in Lin Yu's small place.

In the tribe, the elders share a fire, women and children share a fire, and men share a fire. They only get together when eating and telling stories, and usually rest and work are separated.

As a guest, Lin Yu enjoys a fire to herself, which is definitely something worthy of sympathy for the clansmen who are used to living in a group, but Zhang Tian is quite envious.

He took the bear tendons and the isingas gelatin boiled last night outside to dry.

He was hanging bear tendons on the tree, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the woods, the movement was not small, it was a big guy!

Zhang Tian took two steps back, took out the jackknife in his arms, and stood ready.

Pushing aside the bushes, Lin Yu got out, and the two looked at each other, both stunned.

Zhang Tian's eyes fell on Lin Yu's hands, and then he looked away, coughed, pointed to the tree, and said with a little embarrassment, "I'm drying bear tendons."

It was only then that Lin Yu remembered that he was clutching the underwear he had just changed in his hand. His face became hot, and he immediately put his hands behind his back, said "I'll go in first", and ran away quickly with his head down.

When Zhang Tian returned to the cave, the men had already surrounded the wizard, and they all rushed to talk about their illnesses and receive treatment.

He stood by and listened for a while. Except that he would not suffer from dysmenorrhea, men's injuries are similar to women's. With the experience of last night, Lin Yu was able to deal with it with ease. He could not only understand, but also express more smoothly. test white.

When it was uncle's turn, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said coyly, "I don't know if mine is considered a disease, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just... just..."

"Hurry up!"

The tiger head behind the wolf teeth waited impatiently, took off his fur hat, and said for him: "My lord wizard, he is bald!"

The clansmen looked at Tian Linggai, who was bared with wolf teeth, and laughed, and Lin Yu couldn't help laughing.

Langya blushed, took back his hat and put it on, and hurriedly asked: "Do you think it can be cured?"

Lin Yu suppressed his smile and said seriously: "There is a plant called Polygonum multiflorum, eating it helps to grow hair, but I don't have it with me. I will help you pay attention when I go to the mountains to collect herbs."

"My lord wizard!"

Knowing that hair can grow back, Langya is overjoyed.In recent years, because of his baldness, women have refused to mate with him. It is unreasonable to say that a bald man will give birth to a bald son!It's time for a revival!

After breakfast, go hunting in the mountains.

Yesterday was to go in the direction of the upper reaches of the river, and today we headed for the lower reaches.

Zhang Tian suddenly thought of something, and asked the men, "Have you been to the other side of the river?"

Hutou said: "The other side of the river is the territory of the Dashu tribe, and we usually don't go there."

Hearing this name, Zhang Tian thought of it. He had heard men mention it before. The Big Tree Tribe was also a small tribe. There was an extremely tall tree near the cave, hence the name.

The tribe Zhang Tian belongs to is called the Dahe tribe, because there is a big river with wide waves at the bottom of the mountain. The name of the tribe has no deep meaning, let alone beliefs, and is just to distinguish it from other tribes.

Hutou said that they usually don't go, which means they have been there.

Zhang Tian asked, "Can you swim? I mean swimming in water like fish."

"Are you serious? People are not fish, how can they swim in water like fish?"

The men looked at each other and smiled.

"Then how do you cross the river?"

"It's not easy, just build a bridge with wood and walk across it."

"...makes sense."

Zhang Tian felt like he had asked a very idiotic question. Any one of the coniferous trees at the bottom of the mountain had a diameter at breast height of more than half a meter and a height of 30 meters. After being cut down, it would become a natural bridge.

But he also made sure of one thing: the clansmen couldn't swim.

Not even those who live by the river, let alone people from other tribes.

"Look!"

After catching insects all the way, they finally found the trace of the beast.

Bloodstains!
A large pool of blood, the blood has been coagulated and blackened, mixed with a small amount of tissue debris and fur fragments, crawling with busy ants and happy carrion insects.

Hutou used a wooden stick to drive away the insects and ants on the fur, squatted down to observe for a while, and said solemnly: "It's an antelope. There was a fight here. It was hunted by either wolves or lynxes."

"Go and see?"

The men looked at the bloodstains extending all the way to the ridge. In the past, knowing that there was a four-legged predator ahead, they would definitely choose to go around. But now they have bows in their hands, and they have heard the glorious deeds of their ancestors for several days. Now I am in a state of blood, and I am a little eager to try.

On the contrary, Hutou was more cautious. He looked around carefully and found only traces of a predator. He smiled and said, "It seems to be a lynx. Let's go!"

Most wolves in the mountains and forests act in packs, and it is hard to tell if they encounter one. Lynxes are usually used to walking alone, and Hutou is sure to deal with it.

Zhang Tian also made the same judgment, but he was more interested in the antelope than the lynx.

The male and female could not be identified from the remaining fur fragments. If it was a male antelope, then the animal horns that he had been thinking about for making horn bows had been found.

But he didn't hold out much hope.

Animals with horns like this rarely wander in the forest, because their horns are easily entangled by branches and vines, and they can hardly escape from predators.

Everyone followed the bloodstains, and the men held the weapons in their hands tightly, watching all directions, listening to all directions, and their nerves were extremely tense.

The lynx is a cat that is good at climbing. It may hide anywhere, and its speed is much faster than that of wolves. When hunting, it always lurks and waits for the opportunity, and then suddenly attacks its prey from unexpected places.

The expected enemy did not show up, and it seemed that he would never show up.

Everyone has already found the antelope's body. It was abandoned on a bare rock wall, and the carrion birds were standing on the body. This group of beasts that picked up human teeth were greedily sucking the minced meat, and the air was full of thick blood. smell and foul smell.

The men were disappointed. The scavenging birds are as easy to get sick as the scavenging insects. Unless the ammunition and food are exhausted, the tribe will not eat this kind of bird. And rose, making a piercing cry.

Only Zhang Tian looked at the pair of long black horns on the antelope's head and smiled.

Thank you for the gift of nature!
