As the saying goes, disease comes like a mountain and goes like a thread. The struggle between mankind and disease has never stopped for thousands of years. No one on both sides has truly won. Disease is evolving, and human scientific research is also making breakthroughs day by day. There is no There have always been fierce wars.
The two guards sent by Hu Sha solved the big trouble of several women. The unresponsive Xiao Jinzi was carried away by the two men with arms and legs.
People who are sick and unable to move and dead people will become extremely heavy. It is definitely a physical job to handle them. If they are living people, they can more or less maintain the balance of the center of gravity. Dead people and unconscious people can. Not so cooperative.
Looking at An Ruo who couldn't stop crying, Ma Tao didn't say anything. Since they had already locked the chariot, let's stay together for the time being. They all got off the car. It would be convenient if we all come together. a little,.
Thinking of this, Ma Tao waved his hands to them and agreed that they should follow him there.
The ragged, or even strangely dressed barbarians around them all looked at the outsiders like Ma Tao curiously. No matter they were men or women, including children, no one said a word. They just stood or sat there with curious eyes. Look at them.
The two strong guards carried the unconscious Xiao Jinzi directly to a tree house made of banana leaves.
"Where are they going to take Little Gold?"
Gao Han observed the surrounding indigenous barbarians asking Ma Tao in a low voice, and An Ruo on the side also listened carefully.
"I don't know, but these people live here, and they know Xiao Jinzi's symptoms, so there shouldn't be any danger."
At the door of the tree house, Ma Tao sniffed his nose. A fishy herbal smell filled the air. This was coming from the tree house. He knew it in his heart. He looked back at them and nodded. , lowered his head and entered the tree hole.
Gao Han knew what Ma Tao said was right, so he followed him in without saying anything, followed by An Ruo, and his sister came last.
There must be antidote grass within five steps of an entrenched poisonous snake. This is a proverb and a truth. It means that where a living thing grows, there must be something that restricts it. Although it does not necessarily have to be five steps, it is also true. They are definitely not far apart. These barbarians have lived here all year round and must be very familiar with the water, soil, insects and beasts here. Their credibility is still very high.
Entering the tree hole, there were already several women in straw clothes waiting here, and a steaming wooden barrel with white steam. The smell came from there. It should be soaked in some herbal medicine. Not far away, a small black casserole was burning. Another woman was stirring it from time to time, and a richer medicinal gas was emanating from it.
"You can go out now"
As soon as he came in, he heard the words from the women. Ma Tao thought he was talking about them, but then he saw the two guards bowing respectfully, lowering their heads and retreating. Only then did I realize I wasn’t talking about them.
At this time, Gao Han and the others behind them also came in, and they immediately understood after seeing the furnishings in the room.
"I asked why it looks so familiar. It turns out to be Houttuynia cordata!"
After entering the tree house, Gao Han stretched out his nose and smelled it carefully, and suddenly realized something.
"What is this fish grass? Is it very expensive?"
Ma Tao glanced at her and asked.
"It is a kind of medicinal material. When crushed, it has a fishy smell and a slightly astringent taste. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, relieving cough and expectoration, and promoting urination. I intercepted it in my previous team. I didn't know what these were at the time and almost threw them away. , it’s expensive but not expensive, but it depends on the environment in which it grows. If it’s suitable for its growth, it can be found all over the mountains and plains. If it’s not suitable, it won’t grow at all.”
Gao Han stared at the yellow hemp rope-like plant in the hands of the woman who was adding firewood to the casserole and said.
"It turns out that it is quite willful..."
Ma Tao nodded immediately, indicating that he understood.
At this time, the barbarian women had already begun to take off Xiao Jinzi's clothes. It seemed that they planned to strip him naked and throw him into the wooden barrel for a bath.
"Xiao Ruo, go and help."
Ma Tao frowned, not because he was worried that these women would injure Xiao Jinzi, but because he was worried that the things on this boy's body would not be lost. If nothing else, the silver badge of glory alone was quite valuable.
An Ruo sighed and hurriedly stepped forward to help. As soon as she took a step, she heard an inaudible reminder from Gao Han and Sister R at the same time, "No matter what, the rifle must not be left behind." "
An Ruo was surprised for less than a second, her face remained calm, and she walked over without stopping.
Unexpectedly, An Ruo just took a few steps forward, but before the women agreed, they actually stretched out their hands to stop them. Now An Ruo was a little at a loss and looked at Ma Tao blankly, not knowing what to do. Just do it.
"You can go out as well. The divine bath is holy and cannot be helped by others."
An older woman with the most feathers on her body stood up, explained piously, and at the same time began to drive away Ma Tao and the others.
Yes, people started clearing the place with their holiness, and threw this young man in youth clothes, Xiao Jinzi, and these wolf-like aunts into a room, in the dark and with no one to witness it. This kid must not collapse after he wakes up.
Ma Tao suppressed the smile in his heart, but had an embarrassed expression on his face. His eyes kept turning on An Ruo Xiaojinzi and this bird-like woman, and then he stretched out his arms in embarrassment. He pointed his finger at An Ruo and Xiao Jinzi and said, "She...she and he are lovers. According to their oracle, no matter what happens, even if it is a matter of life and death, the two of them cannot be separated."
No matter, Ma Tao doesn't intend to leave Xiao Jinzi alone in the house anyway. They have just arrived here. Although they have to believe it, they can't believe it all. Someone must keep an eye on it. Since they use gods and other things, Speaking of things, Ma Tao would expand God's will. Anyway, God would not take the initiative to clarify all this. At this point, he can't control that much, so he is talking nonsense.
Seeing Ma Tao winking at her twice, An Ruo was always smart. She quickly nodded twice and said, "Yes, we can't be separated. This is what God said."
"this……"
The woman who spoke before didn't know what to do immediately. She hesitated in her eyes for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, since it's God's will, she can stay."
Ma Tao quickly thanked the bird-man woman with a smile on his face. At the same time, he praised some god that he didn't even know. He turned around and led Gao Han and his sister out.
"I told you that you are really good at it, but you can still talk nonsense."
After leaving the tree house, Gao Han looked at the toilet up and down and smiled.
"Why am I talking nonsense?"
Ma Tao refuted her righteously, and then said in a very formal way, "In our place, when two people fall in love and hold a ceremony, God will ask, are you willing to enter into a marriage contract with the other person? No matter whether you are sick or healthy, whether you are poor or rich, you will always be right." He remained loyal until the end of his life.”
"Strange ritual..."
After looking at the serious Ma Tao, Gao Han turned his head away and stopped talking to him.
Gao Han felt that what he said was not false, but she couldn't understand it. Most people in this world are working hard to live, and everyone has become very selfish in order to live a better life. Why? There may be two people willing to die together.
Waiting takes time, and time has to wait slowly. This is like an endless loop that will never end.
"The King invites you"
While the three people were waiting at the door of the tree house, a woman with black and gray camouflage on her face and an animal skin came to them and bowed respectfully. Judging from the voice, she must be fourteen or fifteen years old. The little girl still has a baby voice.
"It seems that the effect of your ring is not that great."
Gao Han smiled.
"What about Xiaoruo?"
Sister R looked inside the tree house. At this time, the inside was already filled with water vapor, and it looked like a fairyland.
"I have a friend in there"
When someone came to invite him, he had to go, but he couldn't leave An Ruo behind. Ma Tao quickly explained the situation to the girl with a black camouflage face.
"The high priests have separate food. I will tell your friend to prepare an extra portion."
The girl smiled on her paint-covered face, showing her white teeth, and still bowed respectfully and said.
"Okay then, you lead the way"
Ma Tao thought about it for a moment, and now he had no choice but to do this first.
Xiao Jinzi didn't know how long this drug bath would last. He couldn't keep everyone waiting. It would be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally.
"plz follow me"
The girl turned sideways, with a faint smile on her face, and stretched out one hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Ma Tao returned her smile and led Gao Han and his sister, who was holding the mechanical cat in her arms, to follow her.
Led by the girl, the three people were taken to a small open-air square, surrounded by guards with guns and no less than a dozen people standing around. There were many tables, chairs and benches with some unknown mountain fruits placed on them. , that’s all. Obviously, these wild fruits placed on the table are the cheapest and cheapest things here. It is so easy to find some wild fruits in this big forest. You only need to record the location of those fruit trees. , just send someone to pick it, but these mountain fruits are really the best for Ma Tao and the others. Although steamed buns and dried meat can supplement protein and calories and fat, they cannot supplement vitamins. These fruits in front of them are exactly what they need. The thing that is most lacking in the body.
Leader Husha and Sickle were already seated and talking. Only after they got closer did they hear clearly that they were discussing the purchase and sale price of some monsters.
"Hey! My friends, why are you here? The food has already been prepared."
When Leader Hu Sha saw Ma Tao, he smiled heartily and extended his hand to signal them to sit down.
“Thank you Chief Husha for your warm hospitality”
Ma Tao looked at Gao Han and Sister R. The three of them were guided to sit down by several girls standing nearby.
In the final seating arrangement, Hu Sha is in the middle, and Sickle and Ma Tao are seated on both sides.
The girl who had led Ma Tao and the others gently walked to Hu Sha, then lowered her head and said a few words in his ear. Hu Sha smiled and nodded, then looked at Ma Tao and said with a smile, " Okay, you go and do it.”
Ma Tao knew that the girl should have gone to talk about An Ruo, so she came back with a smile as a thank you.
"Don't worry, our high priest is very powerful. Your friend will wake up soon."
Hu Sha then said with a hearty smile.
