Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Zhang Wu followed Liu Daming, Huang Ping and others to look for wild animals, and Song Shiwei slept in the tent. There was no need to put ice to cool down in the cave, it was very comfortable.

When Song Shiwei was half asleep, she heard a child crying outside, followed by a noise. She immediately frowned, opened her eyes, stood up, lifted the door curtain and looked towards the noise.

Seeing that all the people from Dahe Village were gathered in one place and Xu Shihe's apprentice could be vaguely seen in the crowd, Song Shiwei guessed who was sick, so he went back into the tent and was about to continue to sleep when Huang Changyuan came to him.

Song Shiwei came out of the tent again and looked at Huang Changyuan with a puzzled look on his face: "The village chief wants to talk to me about something?"

Huang Changyuan had a worried look on his face and said hurriedly, "Many children in the village have stomachaches. Doctor Xu said it was because they drank raw water, but the herbs the villagers bought in the city didn't have any medicine to treat this. Fortunately, this is deep in the mountains. Doctor Xu said there are many herbs in the mountains, so we can go out and look for them."

Huang Changyuan sighed and said, "Most of the strong men in the village have gone out hunting. There are still about ten people left here. I plan to let them follow Doctor Xu to find medicine, but they don't have much skills, so I want to ask Master Song to go with them and help take care of them."

Song Shiwei nodded when he heard this: "Okay, when do we leave?"

Huang Changyuan was overjoyed and said quickly, "I'll go right away. The children in the village can't wait. I'll have to trouble Master Song to take care of them from now on."

"You're too polite, village chief. We're just helping each other."

Song Shiwei followed Huang Changyuan out of the cave. The people who accompanied Xu Jingren to find medicine were waiting. When they saw Song Shiwei coming out with the village chief, their heavy mood finally eased a lot.

Xu Jingren didn't know about Song Shiwei's skills, but every man in the village, young or old, knew about it. With her superb skills, they didn't have to worry too much about safety on this trip.

Huang Changyuan gave some instructions to dozens of people, then stood there and watched them leave.

Since waking up, Xu Jingren has had the most contact with people from Dahe Village. He has not spoken a word to Song Shiwei until now. At this moment, Song Shiwei was arranged by the village chief to be protected by Xu Jingren's side, and neither of them spoke first.

It was when others asked about the appearance of the medicinal materials that Xu Jingren explained it in detail to everyone.

No one usually enters the deep mountains all year round. If it weren't for the disaster, wild animals would be seen everywhere in the mountains. But now, everyone has been gone for a while, and not even a pheasant has been seen.

However, the group was extremely lucky. After a short while, they found the two required medicinal herbs. Xu Jingren felt a little relieved.

"We are only missing the most important ingredient, aconite. Let's go over there," Xu Jingren said and changed direction to the left.

Others will naturally follow.

At this moment, Song Shiwei suddenly stopped, pulled Xu Jingren behind him, looked ahead without blinking, and frowned.

"Mr. Song, is there a problem ahead?" asked one of the villagers.

"There's movement ahead," Song Shiwei turned his head and looked at Xu Jingren: "Can we change direction?"

Xu Jingren was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'm just looking for a direction at random. Where do you think we should go next, Mr. Song?"

Song Shiwei pointed to the front: "Over there."

Everyone didn't know what the noise Song Shiwei was talking about was, nor did they know that there was a cave two miles ahead of the group. There was a deafening snoring sound in the cave, and a few hundred meters behind the cave, Zhang Wu and others were approaching the cave.

Song Shiwei and the others walked for another half an hour before they found all the herbs, so they quickened their pace on the return journey, with Song Shiwei walking in front to lead the way. They did not encounter any wild beasts along the way, and they easily found all the herbs they needed.

The group returned to the cave safely, but before they had time to catch their breath, Xu Jingren was called away by Xu Shihe. Seeing the children foaming at the mouth and yelling about stomachaches, the two men hurriedly began to boil medicine and give acupuncture.

Huang Changyuan and the children's parents were extremely anxious.

Song Shiwei did not join in the fun. After coming back, he went into the tent. In order to prevent anyone from looking for him, he simply tied the door curtain and then slipped into the space.

When taking a bath in the underground river before, Song Shiwei just washed it roughly. Now that he entered the space, he had a good chance to use soap to wash his body and hair thoroughly.

There were no modern appliances such as hair dryers in the space, so she could only wipe her hair manually with a towel. After her hands were sore from wiping, she walked out of the house and went to the planting area to take a look at the medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruits and melons that she had planted before leaving the capital.

The vegetables and fruits have been ripe for a long time, but they have remained ripe because they have not been picked. There is no shortage of food and drink now, and in this year, it is too conspicuous to hold the vegetables and fruits, so they have not been picked.

Song Shiwei would never admit that it was because of his laziness.

As for medicinal herbs, there is no need to pick them. Even ordinary people who don't study medicine know that the longer the herbs grow, the better their efficacy. When you have no shortage of medicinal herbs, just let them grow slowly.

After looking at the medicinal herbs, Song Shiwei returned to the courtyard, moved a recliner from the quiet area and placed it in the yard, then lay down on the recliner and closed his eyes to take a nap.

After his hair dried naturally, Song Shiwei moved a dish and a soup from the static area. He ate happily and left the space contentedly.

As soon as she came out of the space, she heard another round of noise outside. Shen Yan's voice was the loudest. It sounded like something happened. Song Shiwei quickly tied her hair up, then opened the curtain and went out.

"Is it really a bear?" Huang Changyuan looked at Shen Yan with horror.

Shen Yan nodded with a serious face.

When Song Shiwei walked over, he saw two blood-stained people lying on the ground. One was a police officer and the other was a villager. Shen Yan and others were surrounding the two people. Xu Jingren was bandaging the wounds of the two injured people. The atmosphere was very heavy.

Zhang Wu was standing in the crowd. When he saw Song Shiwei coming, he quickly walked over to her and stood still. "On the way back, we met two blind bears. The two of us on the ground were running slowly, so the blind bears slapped us in the face."

Song Shiwei frowned and asked, "Where did you meet the bear?"

"It's about two miles from here. I didn't expect the bear to be so close to us. Master, we disturbed them this time. I'm worried that they will come over here."

Thinking of the habits of bears, Song Shiwei immediately said: "Bears are the most vengeful creatures. With so many human scents at such a close distance, they will definitely come over. I guess they are observing us near Shandong right now."

Zhang Wu's eyes widened immediately: "Master, do you know where they are?"

"I know, but now is not a good time to look for them. Let's wait until night. Then we can ask the village chief to decorate the cave entrance and arrange more people to guard the night. Then we can look for them in the dark."

Seeing Zhang Wu's worried face, Song Shiwei patted his shoulder gently and said half-jokingly: "Go back and have a good rest first. Maybe the midnight snack will be grilled bear paws."

Zhang Wu pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

Song Shiwei turned her head away and said, "You'd better stop laughing."
