Chapter 56 Sickness
That night, the old woman didn't even eat food, so she shrank down the cliff and fell asleep alone.
The bonfire was moved to the bottom of the cliff.
The protruding cliff here opens a clearing area below.
The bonfire burns here and will not be extinguished by the rain.
The atmosphere was a little silent, and many people had no appetite when the barbecue was cooked.
Cuihua cut a piece of meat and sent it to the old woman, but she beat it away.
Seeing this, Wang Wei sighed and whispered to Cuihua to cover the old woman with some dry leaf clover.
Wang Sha ran towards the pigpen.
But after running a few steps, he retreated, took off the straw sandals that were stepping into the mud in the dry place, and then hung them around his neck with a straw rope.
General Wang Meng covered the dustpan of black wood leaves and big white worm larvae with thick long-leaf clover.
With such a cold temperature, there are limited places to raise fires, so it is naturally impossible to make room for the big white worms to heat them.
After doing all this, he limped towards the wildebeest again.
After a while, he led the three-headed and lame horse to the bottom of the cliff.
Nowadays, wildebeests are no longer panicked when they see people like they did at the beginning.
It's just a kind of instinctive fear of flames.
The wildebeest tied the straw rope on the wildebeest to a corner of stone, and the wildebeest who could not be wet from the rain became much quieter.
The fish that was originally hung was taken in as soon as possible, and a strong fishy smell was filled with the cliff.
Because of Wang Wei and Ah Mother's quarrel today, everyone was in a state of disgrace.
Many people are worried.
The tribe members who had seen the house with their own eyes naturally did not want to demolish the house.
The women who had never seen the house were curious about what the house looked like, but were afraid that Wang Wei would not listen to the old woman, which led to a quarrel between the two sides again.
If they were to others and dared to quarrel with my mother, these women would have gone up to help her beat me up without saying a word.
But now, the person who is quarreling is Wang Wei.
From the way he discovered how to eat fish, to catching grass pigs, saving Wang Zhuang, then inventing traps to catch wildebeests, weaving straw sandals to make nets, to fishing, smelting copper, etc.
Because of him, there have been earth-shaking changes in the clan.
In early spring, the most hungry season, let the tribe members have a full meal every time.
His various actions have made his clan members trust and even depend on him.
Especially now, when the piglets grow up little by little every day, the big white worms mature day by day, and they drink hot water every day, and they no longer have to endure hunger.
The sickle in your hand cuts the long-leaf clover faster than anything else. The fragrant broth makes women more painful, and those cubs never wake up hungry at night.
All of this is a visible and tangible change, and it is also a change that can make the tribe members expect.
So now that Wang Wei and the old woman are arguing, the clan members really don’t know what to do.
My mother must be correct.
She asked Wang Wei to put hunting first and not to seek enjoyment. This is the tribe's way of dealing with the world.
If my mother hadn't guided the direction for her tribe again and again, this small tribe might have perished long ago.
Wang Wei is not wrong either.
All the changes he made can bring visible and tangible benefits to the tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s tribe’s lives more convenient and beautiful.
They were a little confused. They both made a fuss to avoid falling in love. Why did the two of them quarrel?
Everyone had a meal without any taste.
In the end, the women gathered around my mother and snuggled up to each other to keep warm, and gradually fell asleep.
The men sighed and squeezed together to sleep.
Wang Wei and Wang Zhuang were vigilant tonight and were responsible for taking care of the fire.
Wang Zhuang secretly looked at Wang Wei's face, intending to persuade him to apologize to the old woman tomorrow.
However, a gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Zhuang shrank his neck and stopped talking because he remembered the warm feeling of being there in the bamboo house yesterday.
In the end, he could only sigh, pat Wang Wei on the shoulder, and said nothing.
Wang Wei smiled at him and said nothing.
He did not complain that it was normal for the collision of new and old ideas.
Wang Wei remembered his uncle on earth.
That uncle was even more stubborn than an old woman and hated the TV.
His words were said to him that those who acted in TV were all crazy people, and those who watched TV were all fools.
But a few years later, when Wang Wei saw him again, he was laughing while holding his cell phone and shaking music.
Some changes are inevitable. Since the old woman is unwilling to accept this change, what Wang Wei has to do is to find a way to make her accept it.
The night passed quickly.
Wang Wei was woken up the next morning.
He couldn't squeeze into the crowd because of the vigil last night, so he was so cold that he curled up in a ball.
What woke Wang Wei was Cuihua, and she looked anxious.
Seeing Wang Wei open his eyes, she cried and said, "My mother is sick, what should I do, Wei!"
When Wang Wei heard this, he was exhausted and jumped up and walked towards the mountain wall on the other side.
Over there, a group of people surrounded the old woman anxiously. Seeing Wang Wei coming, they quickly made way.
Wang Wei walked over and saw the old woman's eyes closed and her face pale.
After shouting twice, the old woman's eyebrows trembled and her mouth opened and closed.
"Wei, the smartest, can't go the wrong way." Her mouth spoke these words intermittently.
At this time, Wang Wei discovered that the old woman was already in a coma, and the words she said were all unconsciously.
She touched the old woman's forehead and it was extremely hot. The old woman shrank into a ball. Whenever the cold wind blew, she would tremble all over.
Wang Wei suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Longleaf clover, I want all the longleaf clovers, dried!"
There are many long-leaf clovers in the tribe, but not many are completely dried.
After taking it, Wang Wei wrapped the old woman in it with these long-leaf clovers and tied it up with a straw rope.
"Beast skin, straw rope, bamboo pole!" Wang Wei continued to shout.
Soon, Wang Wei wrapped a layer of animal skin behind the dry long-leaved clover, wrapping the old woman tightly.
Finally, a simple stretcher was made with bamboo poles and straw ropes and placed her on it.
In order to avoid air leakage, the old woman's head and footsteps were covered with several layers of mouth leaves.
The task of carrying the stretcher was handed over to Wang Zhuang and a strong tribe member. Looking at the rain and snow outside the cliff, Wang Wei said: "You guys take your mother to the bamboo house first. The first thing you do when you arrive at the bamboo house is to make a fire for the stove. Do you know?"
Wang Zhuang nodded and asked while starting to take off his straw sandals: "Wang Wei, what about you?"
Wang Wei kicked him and said, "What shoes are you taking off now? I'm responsible for bringing the rest of my tribe and food over. Wang Zhuang, remember, when I arrived at the bamboo house, both bamboo houses would be warm and gentle. Also, everyone should have a bite of hot broth to drive away the cold. If you can't do this, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"
Wang Zhuang nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, you have dry firewood left under the eaves, so leave all of this to me!"
While speaking, a tribe member had already used the tortoise shell to get the fire. Wang Zhuang nodded at him, then carried the old woman and took the five tribe members to go first.
When Wang Zhuang took the lead, Wang Wei took a deep breath and began to arrange the migration of his tribe members.
There are too many things in the village, and most of them cannot be taken with you.
What Wang Wei has to do is to choose to bring all the things that must be taken over now.
If you cannot bring anything with you, please place it first.
