At the Shanxia Kiln Factory, four kiln workers have started to work. Some dig soil and carry water and mud, some pick up firewood, and some are digging a second large kiln, each of whom is responsible for their own work.

Xu Chen didn't stay in the kiln factory for long, so he left Gu Heju to help in the kiln factory, and then led Xiaoma to the riverside.

The puddle I dug last time was already full of tree bark.

There are a few piles nearby.

Mother Ba and several women were digging another puddle with wooden hoes, which seemed to be trying to expand the yield.

Seeing Xu Chen coming, Momba excitedly put down her hoe and pointed to the newly dug puddle and the bark piled beside her and explained.

Xu Chen nodded while listening, tied the pony to the river beach to eat grass, then went down to the puddle to look at the soaked bark, and found that many of them could be dispersed by rubbing the bark and fibers with their hands. It was obvious that the soaking time was enough, so he picked up the soaked one and threw it on the shore.

After scooping up seven or eight, he asked his mother to gather a few women to go to the river to learn how to clean the squid.

Under Xu Chen's simple demonstration, several women soon learned this simple treatment method, so a group of people started to rub the river water with laughter, and the washed numb scattered and opened to the pebbles on the river beach to dry. Soon a piece of gray-white numb was laid on the river beach.

Not far from the river beach, there are many large and small herbivores eating grass leisurely.

More than a dozen of these wild horses are particularly noticeable.

These wild horses seemed to have discovered the existence of the pony. They all looked around nervously, and even neighed a few times from time to time, causing the pony to stomp their feet and neigh anxiously.

Xu Chen was observing secretly while working.

Perhaps because of human reasons, these wild horses were just patrolling in the distance and did not dare to get close.

The river water after autumn is already relatively cool, especially on such cloudy days.

After standing in the water for half an hour, Xu Chen felt that he could not stand it, so he went ashore to rest. He decided to lead the pony to continue to approach the herd to see what the effect was.

Unfortunately, as he led the pony downstream, all the animals eating grass on the river beach fled in scattered, and the horses also fled far away in neighing.

Since the invention of the bow and arrow, a group of hunters has a much stronger attack power. After several hunts, the vigilance of animals has greatly increased. Now the safe distance between them and humans is getting farther and farther away, almost reaching an inaccessible point.

Seeing the horses leaving, Xu Chen could only sigh and lead the pony back and continue to tie it to the puddle.

A child with a mother is like a treasure, while a child without a mother is like a grass.

The pony is now in the hands of humans. There is no possibility of returning to the herd of horses. He can only stay honestly. Moreover, after getting along with each other for nearly a month, his wildness has also been much more eroded. At least he is very familiar with Xu Chen and a group of children, and he is not afraid of humans at all.

In the hilly areas not far from the river beach, there is still a group of women collecting food.

However, the range they collected was getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain, and the farthest one had reached three miles away.

Under the slightly gloomy sky, goshawks hovering around the sky.

Although the surrounding mountains are already lush and green, some broad-leaved deciduous trees and thorny weeds begin to turn yellow as they mature, adding a touch of autumn to this primitive and lush wilderness.

“Ah~”

A woman who was washing numbness in the river suddenly let out a painful cry, and then limped ashore in pain.

Mother Ba and the remaining women quickly threw down their things and went forward to ask for help. When Xu Chen stepped forward, the women had already helped him to the shore, and a string of bloody footprints were left on the pebbles on the river beach.

The woman was cut through the soles of her feet by a broken river clam shell.

Although I have been walking barefoot all year round and have a thick layer of calluses on my feet, the clam shell is too sharp, and it is more than an inch long and a very deep wound. Blood flows, and soon dyes a large area of ​​sand and gravel red, which looks very scary.

Mother Ba and several women quickly helped the woman cover the wound.

Xu Chen also quickly searched around the river beach, pulled out a handful of thatch roots and a big thistle, but did not wash it. He shook the soil and smashed it with a stone and then pressed it hard on the wound.

Such a large wound usually needs to be sutured.

But now I can only stare at me.

Fortunately, the weather is cool after autumn, so as long as it is protected, it can be cured. If the wound is infected and pus in summer, it will be fatal if it takes a long time.

The wound was too big, and pressing it with your hands could not completely press the wound to stop bleeding. Therefore, after several women covered it for two or three minutes, blood continued to flow out, and even dyed the hands of several women red. A large area of ​​blood was thrown everywhere on the river beach.

It should have been cut through the artery blood vessels.

If this continues, I am afraid that something will go wrong.

Xu Chen became anxious and went to make a handful of the unsoaked squid, broke a branch and made a wooden stick, wrapped the herbs that had not been used up just now with squid and pressed on the wound, pressed two wooden sticks outside, and then wrapped them tightly around the feet with a thick mahjong stick.

This is a simple method of compression and stopping bleeding.

It is a first aid measure learned from the geological survey team before.

Geological exploration is mostly in the mountains and forests that are rarely visited, far away from the city, with traffic difficulties. Even if you have hiking boots and various protective equipment, people are still often injured. Therefore, many simple first aid knowledge can help you in critical moments.

For example, if you are bitten by a venomous snake, tie the wound tightly with a strap as soon as possible to prevent the venom from circulating into the body with the blood.

For example, if the artery is injured and bleeding continues, it is necessary to press and stop the bleeding.

Although these methods cannot solve the problem, they can greatly prolong life and win time for transportation and rescue.

Although this situation may not be fatal, if it is not handled in time, excessive blood loss can also lead to fainting and shock.

The most important thing is that the feet are the main organ of human beings. If there is a problem with healing, they may become a cripple in the future.

Therefore, having a pair of healthy and rough big feet is the powerful capital for primitive people to survive.

Although Xu Chen's method of stopping bleeding looks simple, it works very well.

After the tie was tight, no blood came out soon. Mother Ba and a group of women all breathed a sigh of relief. The injured woman was also very grateful, hugging Xu Chen and wishing to breastfeed him a few times.

These adult women are strictly all his maternal elders, and maybe they really had breastfeed him when they were young.

But since his body changed to the boss, this kind of relationship made him unable to get close to him, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Someone was injured, and Moba and others could not continue to stay at the foot of the mountain. They quickly threw the unwashed marijuana on the shore, cleaned up and helped the limping woman back to the mountain.

Xu Chen took the time to pull a basket of grass near the river beach and put it in the horse's carrying basket. He also made some half-dried coarse hemp for drying, and secretly placed it in the basket to take it up the mountain.

After a long time of habit, the pony did not seem to have much resistance to the carrying basket on his back.

Moreover, what Xu Chen started to put in was green grass, and it seemed that it knew it was his food for the evening, so it also urged Xu Chen with its head a few times, and did not notice that a dark-hearted guy stuffed some private goods in it while it was not paying attention.

However, Xu Chen also has a sense of responsibility. The grass and hemp are not heavy, and they look like a dozen pounds together.

This weight is completely withstandable for the pony.

When I returned to the cave, it was already afternoon.

Seeing someone injured, the entire cave suddenly became in a mess.

Regardless of men, women and children, they all come around to watch.

Xu Chen didn't dare to delay, so he quickly untied the woman's foot, which had already begun to swollen, and breathed a sigh of relief after observing the wound.

After nearly an hour of pressure, the wound has stopped bleeding. Although it looks like blood is terrifying, and the wound is rolled up and the wound is terrifying, it is actually not a big deal.

I found a few dried medicinal materials such as Tian Qi, Da Thistle and other dried medicinal materials I had collected before, put them in the stone pit to make medicinal powder, and then added some wood ash to apply them to the wound. After finishing, I found that it was impossible to bandage it, and the animal skin was not easy to cut, and it was not very breathable, so I looked up at the leaves.

"Come on cloth!"

The leaves hugged a bundle of long and short wooden sticks rolled together and opened them carefully. There was a piece of fabric that was more than a length of slap.

A group of adult women had never seen Bu before and exclaimed.

Ye seemed to have guessed Xu Chen's plan, and he was reluctant to let go with the cloth.

Xu Chen smiled and rubbed her messy hair and said, "Mado at the foot of the mountain, I can do it again in the future, give it to me!"

So Ye could only pout and put the cloth on his hand, but tears were all rolling in his eyes.

Xu Chen took a few rough movements and threw them down a few round and flat wooden sticks on the ground. Then he wrapped the woman's injured feet with a linen cloth, and first simply tied them with unwoven warp threads, and then carefully tied them with thick henna.

"alright!"

After tied up, Xu Chen was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

A group of women were surprised to touch the linen cloth that bandaged the wound, and almost all the injured women forgot the pain.

This is a magical object they have never seen before, thin, soft, tight and smooth.

They went down the mountain to dig a hole today, and they heard from Mu Ba that the bark soaked at the mountain was used to roll it into thin thread to make such a thing called cloth, but in fact they had never seen it before. They didn't really see it until this time, and it seemed that it was not a finished product, and it seemed that it was only half done.

What surprised them the most was that the cloth was actually made by Ye. It was obvious that it did not take much effort and was not difficult to make such cloth.

For tribesmen to survive, two resources are the most important.

One is food.

The second is animal skin.

The woman collects the main food supply.

Men can obtain meat when hunting, and another main purpose is to obtain animal skins.

As the weather gets colder, the tribe members quickly need a large amount of animal skin to make clothes for covering. Although this kind of cloth looks very thin, it can be easily made if it is rubbed with bark. As long as it is made enough, it can also replace the animal skin to protect the cold.

Therefore, with a large amount of cloth, the animal skin is dispensable.

In this way, men will not have to go further to adventure in order to get more animal skins, and can help with work nearby, such as burning pottery and picking up firewood.

Almost every year a tribe will have men injured or die during hunting.

Including Xu Chen, he almost died when he participated in a hunting for the first time not long ago.
