Chapter 107 Hunting the Wind
The child usually doesn't like to cry. It seems that he has known since he was young that crying can't solve the problem, and may even make him bullied even worse. So no matter how sad he is, he will endure it. But now he can't help crying. Ji Lang also feels sad, feeling sorry for his son and worried about the dog.
I finally coaxed Xiaoman to sleep.
There were still tears on the little face. Ji Lang reached out and wiped them away. Qing Jiu also pushed the door open and came in.
The two talked for a while, and knowing that Qingjiu was also tired, Ji Lang did not ask too many questions. As long as Qingjiu was there, no matter how bad the situation was, Ji Lang would feel at ease. Besides, things were just not going well now.
Lying on the kang, the pitiful look of Da Mao when he was injured kept flashing through my mind. Damn, I kind of regretted not giving Da Mao special treatment when I fed him the herbal medicine yesterday. I hope he can do better and survive. Then I can give him as much as he wants to eat.
Um...try your best.
However, they still have to find a way to get some powerful weapons. When there are more people and they have solved the problem of food and clothing, they have to start building some walls to ensure everyone's safety. There is no need to run out and fight with wild beasts for territory in order to eliminate potential dangers. As long as they are strong enough, I believe that by that time, other tribes or species will not dare to cause trouble easily.
Ji Lang, who is very good at painting a rosy picture for himself, fell asleep while painting.
The first thing he did after waking up was to follow Xiaoman to see Damao. Feng had gone with Sashi to chase the ape and Liefeng yesterday and had not returned yet, so Wu brought Chuan with them.
Grandma Xue followed the people in the tribe to collect herbs for Damao. Damao was lying by the tent, his body swaying up and down. It was unclear whether he was asleep or still unconscious.
It was a bit hot, so Ji Lang took the sticks and tarpaulin he brought with him and planned to build a small shed for Da Mao to lie in, so that it could be shaded and ventilated, making it more comfortable. Just after he finished his work and wanted to go outside to pick some leaves to put on the shed, Wu, who was squatting in front of Da Mao, suddenly said, "Brother Lang, Da Mao seems to be in pain, it has a fever."
Even Wu, who had not experienced much, knew clearly that once a hunter injured outside started to have a fever, he was basically finished. This was what happened to Qingjiu at the beginning. He had a severe fever, and in fact, the whole family had already psychologically acquiesced that he would not be able to survive.
But Ji Lang later rescued Qing Jiu, and after arriving here, he also rescued A Zhou who had a fever, so when he found that something was wrong with Damao, he immediately told Ji Lang.
"Let me touch it." Ji Lang reached out and checked Da Mao's head and body.
It is true that he has a fever. Under normal circumstances, a dog's body temperature will be slightly higher than that of a human, but Damao's is a bit abnormal.
He didn't bring any white wine or medicine box when he came here, so he called a man who was sorting wild vegetables in the yard and asked Wu to take them back to help get them.
Grandma Xue had the scissors he had given her before, so Ji Lang did not dare to delay and first cut some of the hair on Big Hair's belly. It had the same long hair as Liefeng, but it was harder and not very smooth than Liefeng's. In addition, the hair on its body was about the same length as Ji Lang's fingers, and it would always get covered with messy grass seeds or leaves when it went out. Now, because it was stained with blood, many of the hairs were tangled.
Originally, I just wanted to trim the abdomen and armpits to facilitate physical cooling later, but now I cut all the layers at once, which is too thick.
Wu and the others were also quick. After getting the things, Ji Lang quickly carried Damao to the small shed that had just been built. He carefully wiped its abdomen, armpits, and paws with white wine, then fetched some water and planned to feed Damao some. However, he thought of Grandma Xue's instructions and did not dare to feed it.
He didn't leave. After a while, he helped Da Mao wipe his body. Since he couldn't give him water, he took a wet towel to wipe Da Mao's body, trying to make it feel more comfortable.
He didn't dare to feed it antipyretic drugs. After all, humans and dogs are different. Besides, Grandma Xue must have also fed it herbal medicine. If there was a conflict between the drugs, it would be Da Mao who would suffer.
Fortunately, Grandma Xue came back quickly.
"Da Mao has a fever. I treated it the way we do here. I didn't dare give it medicine or water. Do you think I should do anything else?" Ji Lang said in a rambling manner.
As Grandma Xue listened, she took out the herbs she had collected from her backpack, picked out two that Ji Lang had never seen before, put them into the stone mortar beside her and began to pound them. "See if you can give it some water. It hasn't vomited since last night, so its spleen and stomach should be fine. It needs to drink water if it has a fever. I'll also give it this medicine later."
She knew that since Da Mao was so seriously injured, he would inevitably have a fever, so she called everyone to go out and dig herbs early in the morning. This medicine was also the one that her own dog took on its own initiative after it was injured and had a fever. She also fed it to other people with fever, and it worked most of the time.
However, Jilang's method of cutting the dog's hair and rubbing the pungent substance on the dog's body seemed to be effective. At least the dog did not toss and turn as if it had been burned.
You can ask later what exactly happened.
It was fine when I fed him water. Damao might have had a dry mouth due to the burns, so he regained some consciousness and took in some. But he was not very cooperative when I fed him medicine. His mouth was tightly closed, and half of the medicine was wasted. Most of the medicine went in from one corner of his mouth and flowed out from the other corner.
The two of them struggled to get the medicine down their throats. They were sweating, not knowing whether it was because of the hot weather or because it was too much effort.
Just as I was about to take a break, a person suddenly ran in from the doorway, looking flustered.
"Langge Langge, how is Da Mao?"
It was Feng. They came back. He didn’t even have time to rest. As soon as he came back and knew Damao was here, he ran over.
"You're back? Are you okay?" When Ji Lang saw it was him, he stood up excitedly, as he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just hungry." After saying that, he moved closer to Damao, stretched his neck to look for a while, and nibbled on the bread in his hand while looking.
The biscuit was a bit dry and difficult to swallow. Ji Lang was worried that he would choke to death.
"Da Mao is so pitiful, his leg is broken again, but fortunately Liefeng avenged him. You don't know, we chased them for most of the night and finally caught up with them at dawn. The ape hid in a cave and Liefeng blocked it outside. Finally, when we killed the ape, Liefeng ran over and pulled off its hand, and brought it back in his mouth. I guess he thought that it was that hand that hurt his cub, so he brought his hand back to show Da Mao." Feng said a few words after eating a few bites.
Just as he finished speaking, two dogs barked outside the doorway. Liefeng ran in hurriedly, followed by Sa Shi who was cursing, "Why are you in such a hurry? What can you do if you go there? Can you still heal your wounds?"
Liefeng rushed in, first ran over and rubbed against Jilang and Xiaoman's legs, then came close to Damao, nudged him with his head, and licked the hair on Damao's body. It seemed that he realized that Grandma Xue could cure his cub, so he came close to Grandma Xue's feet and rubbed them.
"Look how busy you are." Sa Shi was helpless. This guy went back and put the ape's claws in the outer yard, then excitedly ran to the pool to drink water for a while. Ermao and Sanmao who heard the noise came over and played with him for a while. After playing for a while, they seemed to realize that one of them was missing, and immediately started running around the yard.
After running around the outer yard and the inner yard, it came up to people if it didn't find the cat, whimpering anxiously and digging the ground hard with its claws.
This thing can't talk. Sa Shi looked at it like that and thought to himself that if it could talk, it would definitely say a lot, "Where's my baby? Where's my baby? Where's my baby?"
After becoming an Am, Sa Shi not only became more careful but also a little soft-hearted. He couldn't bear to see it like this, so he coaxed his two kids a few words and brought Liefeng over.
"Are you guys not hurt? Do you want me to take a look at you too?" Grandma Xue leaned over and patted Liefeng's big furry head before turning around and asking Sa Shi.
Sa Shi shook his head. "We are fine. We are just a little hungry and tired. We just need to rest. But Liefeng needs to be checked. Xi Shi said that he was thrown to the ground by the ape and then fell down the mountain. He also chased the ape for a long time."
Grandma Xue responded, sat on the bamboo mat on the ground, waved for Liefeng to come over, and checked it carefully.
Liefeng seemed to know that this person was helping him, so he stood still and just stared at Grandma Xue with his eyes wide open. He did not make a sound even when his wound was touched.
