Chapter 289 On Lin Hai's River

On a small river more than 30 meters wide, a large fleet of ships walked towards the depths of the forest sea at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour.

Frederick and the doctor Hai Jiaqi sat in one of the passenger ships together with several apprentices and some people from Binarla, looking at the cabin curiously.

This boat is a ten-meter-long flat-bottomed boat, surrounded by a wooden frame, on which boards like shutters are nailed as bulkheads, so you can’t see the outside when you sit inside, and the rain can’t get in even if it rains outside. , quite airy.

He didn't ask why the ship was designed like this, but he understood by noon.

Near noon, the scorching sun shone on the cabin, and if the bulkhead was not ventilated, it would suffocate inside.

Not long after, there was a sound of breaking wind, and stones and clods of earth came from the shore and smashed on the boat.

Bi the boatman could only let the buffalo run faster, but he erected a wooden board to block it.

Hai Jiaqi has been a doctor here for many years, and Lin Haili often came and went. When he saw Frederick, he said inexplicably: "The shore is the territory of a group of Diuna, and they will throw away when they see a ship or some monster passing by." Throw things, and if the boat capsizes they'll swim up and take whatever they can."

Frederick had heard from monster hunters about this kind of beast. Although they didn't breathe fire like dragons, or their fur became as hard as rocks, their limbs were so powerful that they could blow people's heads away with a slap when they were angry. .

Hai Jiaqi couldn't stop after opening the chatter box, it was like the sound of wind and rain just coming from outside. After introducing the seven black baboons with seven black spots on their body and the heart black duck that was going to migrate to breed He also said: "In the forest, the most terrifying thing is all kinds of bugs. I don't know when they will get into the clothes, and then stick in the flesh to suck blood, and half of the buttocks will be exposed outside."

At this time, another passenger on the boat answered the call, she was Bila's younger sister Aisha: "Yes, many people were drilled into their legs by this kind of bug, and they couldn't get it out, and they died of fever not long after. "

Aisha is in her 20s this year. Her husband died in the rebellion. She took her two young children and some members of her husband's family and fled to Linhai with her brother.

Now Billa is going to wholesale supplies and help Frederick deliver letters, and she will manage this caravan.

Aisha has always been taciturn, and Frederick and the others just sat on the sidelines when they were chatting, until Hai Jiaqi talked about "domestic" issues.

When it comes to the professional field, Hai Jiaqi said seriously: "If a bug bites into the meat and cannot be pulled out forcefully, its mouth will bite the meat, and if it is pulled hard, the head will be broken in it, and the person is poisoned by the insect. "

"The easiest way is to dry the clay and grind it into powder, then boil the water in a pot about a finger's width away, then put the clay powder in and cook until it turns into a snot-like mud."

"Let the mud cool down and cover it on and around the bug's buttocks. The bugs breathe through the cracks in the buttocks, and when they are suffocated, they will crawl out by themselves."

"Cover the boiled water that has been boiled to the width of two fingers and let it cool down. When the bugs come out, use it to wash the wound. After washing, apply the medicine."

Aisha listened carefully, and repeated it completely after Hai Jiaqi finished speaking.

Frederick wondered at first whether oil could be used to block the worm's stifles, but he soon realized that oil was a valuable food, and using boiled and sterilized mud only needed some firewood.

Hai Jiaqi continued: "During the rainy season, the swamp leading into the river will become a pond, and multi-egg fish will enter the pond to lay eggs."

"The multi-egg fish is usually as long as the wrist to the fingertip, and the thickness of the finger is thin. They will eat the bugs in the swamp. At the same time, the fish eggs in the stomach will increase, and finally the stomach will be as big as a fist."

"At this time, you can go to pick up the female fish to get the eggs. After eating the fish eggs, the wound heals quickly, and the patient recovers quickly after eating the fish eggs. You can also wash the fish eggs, drain the water, and pickle them with a lot of salt."

Frederick asked curiously from the side: "Is this fish egg marinated and delicious?"

Hai Jiaqi shivered as if he had heard something terrible, and said: "I think it's terrible, it's fishy and salty, but my wife likes it at her place. I like to eat fresh, a little sweet, It's crunchy when you bite into it, but my wife hates it."

Frederick thought about it, if this kind of fish eggs can be used as nutrition, there should be a good market.

At this time, there was a sound of horns in the rain outside, and the boatmen at the bow and stern shouted to pour the poisonous oil quickly.

At the same time, Hai Jiaqi, Aisha and several other passengers jumped up, and together with the helmsman who got into the cabin, they quickly untied several ropes on the roof of the cabin, and after the curtain made of wood chips was lowered, the inside of the cabin was closed. Wrapped tightly.

Hai Jiaqi pulled Frederick and himself to sit back to back, and said to him at the same time: "There are fire-striped snakes outside, with thick fingers. If they get in, they will be killed with weapons."

"Be careful not to be bitten, I can't save it."

Frederick asked, "What about the buffalo?"

Hai Jiaqi said: "The boatman will pour poisonous oil, and snakes in the water are afraid of this, but now that it is raining, I am afraid that there will be less poisonous oil at the stern, and snakes will climb up from there."

No sooner had he finished than someone screamed from the stern of the boat.

Frederick stood up and saw a meter-long white and red-striped snake crawling in from the outside of the louvered bulkhead, looking for a gap outside the wooden curtain.

The screaming person subconsciously threw a cloud of ice fog, and the snake was wrapped in a layer of ice.

But the snake seemed to heat itself up, and the ice disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Frederick rushed over and killed the snake with a canning necromancer.

The boatman who was driving the boat also speeded up, and soon left the range of activity of the group of fire-striped snakes.

After the boatman confirmed that there were no snakes on board, all passengers breathed a sigh of relief.

Hai Jiaqi said to Frederick: "The venom of this snake is terrible. After being bitten, I didn't feel much at first. After a while, the surrounding meat seemed to be boiled in water. There was no cure."

"I heard that someone dropped snake venom into raw eggs, and the whites immediately turned white as if they had been boiled."

Then he looked around, seeing no one noticed him, and said in a low voice, "I've heard that this snake venom has been studied to treat hemorrhoids."

Frederick just nodded without comment.

At this time, it was lunch time, and Aisha brought the girl who screamed just now to distribute lunch to everyone.

In the Kingdom of Kush, everything can be stuffed with rice. These days, the dry food is grape leaf rice.It first rolls the grape leaves into a roll, then stuffs the soaked rice and a little herb into it, seals it, steams it, and then dries it. It is said that the rice inside is not a problem for two or three days.

The box for dry food is a storage box made of slime glue imported from Wessen State, with moisture-absorbing charcoal placed underneath, so Frederick didn’t even have diarrhea after eating for four days, and everyone arrived safely. destination.
