Chapter 157 Musk
"Wow, so ugly..."
Looking at the male bird thrown into the chicken cage, Gu Heju and two men with help showed painful expressions on their faces.
Xu Chen also looked inside, and his face twitched and couldn't help but say a word.
It is said that a phoenix with hair removal is not as good as a chicken.
This sentence is the most true portrayal now.
Just now, I saw two birds celebrating in front of the cave, and their colorful feathers were like phoenixes.
But now, after cutting off his wings and pulling his tail feathers, the male bird was covered with feathers and bald tails, and completely turned into a local chicken and tiles-dog-like existence. The beautiful, noble and elegant style was gone, and it was even worse than the female bird. It looked delicate, like a client who had been touring a brothel for three days and was ravaged by a group of old women for seventeen or eighteen times. It was so miserable that it was unbearable to look at it.
How ugly two birds will naturally be despised.
After packing up the tools, a group of children left. After watching around for a while, they thought it was too ugly and not worth watching, so they shouted to go and pry the milk fruit.
"Which one looks better?"
Xu Chen walked to Ye with three long colorful tail feathers.
Ye hugged the room and carried the well, his face full of excitement and a little at a loss.
From the moment Xu Chen pulled out three long golden feathers, she knew that she had a wrong intention. Xu Chen actually just didn't want to kill birds, and did not say that she would not give her feathers. But she ran away before she could ask clearly, so she felt ashamed of the feathers Xu Chen took.
"Everything looks good!" Ye lowered his head vigorously, and he almost couldn't hear it because he was so quiet.
"But you can only want one..."
Xu Chen held the three feathers in his hand and looked left and right, and finally chose one to put it in Ye's hand on his own initiative.
"Just this one, the longest and the most beautiful."
"Thank you... Thank you!" Ye grabbed the feather tightly, and tears of emotion fell down.
"You are so kind, Fang Ga, let me put your feathers in Momba's room, so as not to be damaged by a group of children!"
"Um!"
Ye handed the room to Xu Chen with a crying voice, and then took away the three feathers while crying.
“It’s really troublesome to take care of a child!”
The little guy started crying quickly. Xu Chen didn't realize he was uncle at all. He just felt his scalp numb. He hugged him and walked back and forth in the yard. The room kept kicking his legs and crying, so he had to carry him to the side of the chicken cage to see two ugly birds.
"Oh, Mo Howl, look at whether the two chickens my uncle caught today are so beautiful..."
Xu Chen asked the little guy to look at the two wild birds in the cage.
The little guy didn't give him any face at all and howled louder.
Xu Chen was slapped and slapped. Just as he wanted to throw it into the chicken cage to calm him down, Ye hurried over and took the child over, and the little guy stopped crying in an instant.
Xu Chen:...
“Kukukuku…”
Seeing Xu Chen's depressed expression on his face, Ye couldn't help but smile proudly while holding the child.
Xu Chen was even more speechless and pointed to the room and said, "Are you tired of holding it? How comfortable is it to put it in the cradle?"
Ye held back his laughter and shook his head: "The cradle is too small, so I can't sleep for too long!"
Xu Chen also knew that as the child grew up, he no longer liked the quiet cradle as he began. He only liked adults to walk outside with his arms around. However, seeing Ye Qiao's difficulty holding each other, he always felt that he should think of a way to make her feel more relaxed.
Ye is the youngest woman in the tribe now. There is another one who is only eight or nine years old. Although she is also helping with the child to work, most of the burden is on Ye. There are three children who can't walk yet. Ye is so busy that she can't rest all day. There are four pregnant women in the tribe. The birth of these children one after another will continue, and the daily task of taking care of the child will continue and become more and more tired.
Xu Chen frowned and thought for a while, called Gu Heju, and after giving instructions, they all started to work hard.
The sun sets in the west soon after, and the day is about to pass.
In the evening, the wind brought a group of hunters back from the mountain. Today, the harvest was good and he hunted a brown stag, which looked like fifty or sixty pounds.
This kind of wild deer in woodland is somewhat different from the wild deer on the river beach. Its limbs are thick and powerful, and there is only one fork on both corners, which looks very hard.
The wild deer was thrown on the ground, and a group of children gathered around to suck blood with a sound.
Xu Chen was twitching and didn't know what to say.
For the safety and hygiene of the tribe, he once reminded not to eat raw meat and drink blood.
However, there is no extra salt as a food supplement at present, and the blood and internal organs rich in salt naturally become the best way to replenish salt.
Not only did hunters kill their prey and sniff a few times while they were hot, but a group of children had already developed the same habit.
It’s not that I can’t change it, but that the environment is like this, and I have to do this for my health.
Although Xu Chen himself insisted not to drink raw blood and eat raw meat, he could not completely stop his tribe from continuing to survive like this by eating raw blood.
On the way home, a group of hunters should have known that Xu Chen had caught two beautiful wild birds and came back, so before he could rest, he went straight to the chicken cage. After seeing the two wild birds with feathers, he rushed to Xu Chen to ask about where the feathers were. Xu Chen asked Ye to go to the room of his mother to show them. The group immediately let out a long breath, but they were also a little depressed.
After getting beautiful feathers, their mission was completed.
But in the end it was Xu Chen who did it for himself, and the face was a bit too great.
Xu Chen also briefly talked about the process of catching birds. In fact, it is similar to the method of catching wild ducks, except that one uses a vine basket and the other uses a rope net.
Although this method is very effective in catching birds, it is a bit useless for a group of hunters, because this method is too slow and the luck is very important. Sometimes you may not be able to catch one for a long time.
Their mission is to meet the supply of meat from the entire tribe, so they are far less direct and quick than attacking with bows and arrows and spears.
Moreover, birds have never been the main source of humans for meat, and even supplementing them with meat is not considered a source of food. Occasionally, one can only be considered an unexpected harvest. Since the bow and arrow, the chance of eating birds has gradually increased, but their main targets are still small and medium-sized herbivores.
Today, a group of people chased half of the mountain to get it done, but it was enough for the entire tribe to have a delicious meal.
However, after the feathers are done, they will no longer have to go to the mountains tomorrow, but will go to the river beach to hunt, and the chance of success is greater.
“What does it taste?”
Xu Chen suddenly sucked his nose a few times, feeling that after Feng and others left, there seemed to be a very strange and strong fragrance in the air.
This taste is vaguely familiar.
He dropped the stone axe in his hand and stood up and headed straight for the wild deer.
When he approached the wild deer, the fragrance became more obvious. When he drove away a group of children who were sucking blood, he could not help but show a glimmer of joy on his face.
As expected, this is a musk deer, as the saying goes, a deer.
However, this scented deer is much larger than what he has seen in the farm, almost twice the size of an ordinary deer.
Musk is a very rare medicinal herb. It has the effects of opening up orifices, refreshing pain and reducing swelling. It is much better than ordinary herbs and has almost immediate effects.
Musk is used among many Chinese patent medicines with magical effects in later generations, such as Yunnan Baiyao, the most common hemostatic drug, Liushen Pills for treating toothache and headaches, Pianzihuang for treating bad diseases and pains, and also the quick-acting heart-saving pills for emergency treatment.
Open orifices, promote blood circulation, clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory...
It is simply the most natural and pure original analgesics and antibiotics, a truly rare good thing.
Xu Chen was very excited.
In this primitive and wilderness era, in addition to ensuring that food and clothing are not hungry to death, we must have medicinal materials that can save our lives at any time, otherwise we may die of minor injuries.
He has been collecting all kinds of medicinal materials he knows and makes emergency reserves based on his simple herbal knowledge. The emergence of musk can be said to have a qualitative improvement in his drug reserves.
This is the third medicinal material that appears besides Tian Qi and Chonglou, and has the most magical effect, and is an animal medicinal material.
Musk, Tian Qi and snake gall powder, can almost create a simplified version of Pianzihuang.
This is the most effective anti-inflammatory and painkiller in the world before the invention of the Western medicine penicillin.
At this time, a man came over with a stone knife to slaughter the deer. Xu Chen quickly reminded him to cut off the sachet first.
"Don't cut it!"
Seeing the two men's carefree appearance, Xu Chen kept reminding him nervously.
"Don't worry!"
Although the man who was in charge of the surgery didn't know what Xu Chen wanted to do with his belly, he still seriously cut off a large piece of flesh around the sachet and the surroundings.
Holding the bloody musk sac, Xu Chen found a clean stone slab, carefully cut it again, leaving only the sac. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, found a hemp rope to tie it up and hung it on the antlers in his room.
After the vagina slowly dries, you can cut open the sachet and remove the musk inside.
Musk is not just a medicine, it is also a top spice.
Therefore, after musk was hung on the room, a fragrance soon floated all over the room.
This fragrance not only refreshes the heart, but also repels mosquitoes. For the hot summer when mosquitoes are raging, it is simply the supreme product of natural mosquito repellent.
However, this thing cannot be used randomly everywhere. It is said that it has a great impact on pregnant women and may lead to premature birth of the fetus.
Therefore, during dinner, Xu Chen also specifically talked about this, asking women not to go to their rooms, especially a few pregnant women, to avoid affecting the fetus.
After hearing this, Moba was naturally very nervous and gave her strict instructions several times. It was not until a group of women said they would not go, so she felt relieved.
In fact, Xu Chen didn't know how big the impact of musk on the fetus was, but he took this opportunity to prevent a group of aunts from disturbing him from sleeping in the morning.
Often, women will go directly to the room to call him when they have something to do in the morning.
And he always holds the sky and looks high in fighting spirit, and that scene is so embarrassing.
