When the hunting team returned, many people from Dahe Village came out to greet them. Among them, there were the most little ones, running around and shouting like crazy, it was so lively.
When they saw the prey carried by Gu Yi and others, screams came one after another.
Lin Yan and others followed behind. They did not ride on oxen and horses, but held the reins in their hands, not wanting to overwhelm the guests.
But they were a group of people with tall horses and strong bulls, and they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Yi laughed loudly and said loudly: "Everyone give way, let people come in and talk."
"Gu Yi, where did the people behind you come from?"
"Gu Yi, why are those people holding cattle and horses? Are they here to sell them?"
…
There was a lot of noise and noise. Gu Yi took the time to reply a few words and led people to squeeze out of the growing crowd.
We came to an open space in the middle of the village. This is where the villagers gather when they have important things to say. There is a tall fine-leaved banyan tree with a bare base. People often sit under the tree and chat in their free time.
The village chief, Gu Qingnian, who was in his fifties, rushed over panting. It was lunch time, and as soon as he picked up the bowl, someone announced that a newcomer had arrived.
Not caring about anything else, Gu Qing hurried over in a hurry. The first thing he saw was the group of tall and strong cattle and horses, and his eyes immediately widened.
The old man has lived for a long time and is very familiar with the ferocious beasts in the wasteland. When seeing a herd of cattle and horses, the first reaction is to protect the villagers.
Gu Yi seemed to know what his father was thinking, so he hurriedly approached and said, "Those cows and horses were tamed by Lan Xing and the others, and they won't hurt anyone."
It was precisely because Lanxing and the others could tame cows and horses that Gu Yigao took a look. Because in the wilderness, there are too few people who can tame ferocious beasts.
There are also tame cows and horses in Dahe Village. They are rare in number, with only two horses and five cows. They are the most important treasures of the entire village.
"Dad, let's meet the guests first."
Gu Yi hurriedly introduced both parties, and the crowd who joined in the fun also got to know the Blue Star group.
In addition to the cows and horses, the most eye-catching are the six women including Lin Yan and Lan Yue.
The division of labor between men and women in Dahe Village is similar to that in Mang Village, and women hardly go out to hunt. Over the years, I have rarely seen strange women come to the village.
Doing as the Romans do, Lin Yan and Lan Yue introduced Lan Xing to be the team leader. It would be better for them to keep a low profile.
Walking all the way to the middle of the village, Lin Yan had a rough idea. Dahe Village is indeed different from ordinary mountain villages. It is like a small town. Beyond the wall, there are large fields where rye and rice are grown for a living.
Most people wear coarse cloth, and some are wrapped in leather clothes. The houses they live in include thatched huts and houses with brick and stone walls and thatched roofs.
The faces of the people living here seem to be more energetic. Although most of them are dark and have many scars on their arms and legs exposed, overall they are much better than Mang Village.
While Lin Yan was thinking about it, Lan Xing was already chatting enthusiastically with the village chief Gu Qing and found a vacant house to accommodate them.
A dilapidated courtyard with three thatched houses that have not been inhabited for a long time. Hearing that the original owner's son had a big future, the family moved to Anseong.
That's right, it's a city. Ancheng is a big city in the southwest of Dahe Village. Dahe Village organizes people to go to Ancheng once a year to exchange for daily necessities. It takes about fifty days to go back and forth.
Before the cold season arrives, Dahe Village will bring the prey, food, etc. accumulated this year to Ancheng and exchange them for what they need.
Lin Yan and the others were lucky enough to catch up with the time to go to Ancheng this year.
Gu Yi also hunted for the last time this year, and wanted to collect more prey before going to Ancheng.
Gu Qing drove away all the people who were joining in the fun, leaving only Gu Yi and three others.
Gu Qing said directly: "I heard from Gu Yi that you are going to Ancheng. What do you want to trade?" He wanted to see the goods. If the goods were good, of course the villagers would keep them.
Lanxing smiled and said, "Do you want to see the furs you hunted on the road, the herbs you picked, etc.?"
"What herbal medicine?" Gu Qing was a little anxious. This is a rare thing.
Lanxing asked Wen Xue to come over and introduced one by one the many herbs they had dug up along the way, including those to stop bleeding and reduce swelling.
In fact, more than a dozen of them are new varieties that I just met on the road.
Following Wen Xue's introduction, the expressions of Gu Qing and others changed again and again, and their eyes were shining when they looked at Wen Xue.
Gu Yi said hurriedly: "Dad, I'm going to ask Mrs. Mei to come over."
"Go quickly, go quickly." Gu Qing responded while staring at Wen Xue as if he had discovered a peerless treasure.
Gu Qing was all smiles, "Girl, what's your name?"
"Wen Xue is a pharmacist. Who is Mrs. Mei and why did you call her?" She discovered that these people valued the pharmacist very much.
"Old Mrs. Mei is the only pharmacist in Dahe Village. People in the village come to see her when they are sick or injured. Girl, you look young, and you already know so many herbal medicines. It shows that you have a solid foundation. When Mrs. Mei comes, let me Let her have a good chat with you.”
Gu Qing didn't know those herbal medicines at all, but listening to Wen Xue talk freely, confidently and generously, and speaking clearly and logically, he felt that they were reliable.
Ten minutes later, Gu Yi arrived carrying an old woman on his back.
Gu Qing hurriedly helped Mrs. Mei over, "This little girl is amazing. Mrs. Mei, come and see if the herbs Wen Xue mentioned are correct?"
Mrs. Mei did not hesitate and asked Wen Xue to speak again. She carefully examined each herb.
Her expression was calm at first, but as Wen Xue spoke more and more, Mrs. Mei's hand when picking up the herbs trembled slightly, and finally her body began to tremble.
Gu Qing hurriedly asked: "Mrs. Mei, please say a word. Is what Miss Wenxue said right?"
After waiting, Mrs. Mei looked at Wen Xue with fiery eyes and said tremblingly: "I know her, and she is right."
Hearing this, Lin Yan and Lan Yue looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said, "This old lady Mei is also a powerful person."
She had just observed carefully, Mrs. Mei should know half of the herbs. For those she didn't know, she looked at them longer and asked Wen Xue to repeat some of them, perhaps to learn.
Looking at an old woman in her forties, she still has such a thirst for knowledge, which shows her obsession with medicine. He was also the first pharmacist they saw when they walked out of Sun City.
Lan Yue nodded, "The way she looked at Wen Xue was different."
"Yes, it seems like a treasure has been discovered." Lin Yan smiled softly, "I didn't expect that Wen Xue would be more popular than us. Fortunately, I listened to Huang Ying's suggestion and brought Wen Xue out."
Wenxue’s value is indeed immeasurable and she has contributed a lot along the way.
Over there, Wen Xue was already chatting with Mrs. Mei, and others could not understand much of what the two said.
Gu Qing looked at the dilapidated yard and said hurriedly: "You clean up the house first and let Gu Yi and the others stay to help. We can talk properly tomorrow."
After more than two hours of cleaning, the house was barely livable. Lan Xing and others did not mind it and invited Gu Yi and others to come over for dinner tomorrow to thank them for their care and help along the way.
Gu Yi and the others did not refuse and left with a smile.
After sending away the last person, Mrs. Mei, the group was busy letting Gao Qiang cook, and they were starving to death.
