“Is it Ula grass?”

The priest smiled and said, "Yes, it is Ula grass."

"Its leaves are picked, dried, and crushed into powder to make it like this. Lighting it and smoking it on the affected area is very good for the body. This process is called 'moxibustion'."

Sifos suddenly realized: "So this is what the word 'moxibustion' in acupuncture means."

"The acupuncture point on the belly button is called 'Shenque Point', which is located in the center of the human body and is the innate foundation. Many difficult diseases can be treated by acupuncture and moxibustion of Shenque Point. However, strong effects mean strong stimulation, which is unbearable for children and pregnant women. Needles cannot be applied to this point, and it can only be stimulated by a milder method, 'moxibustion'."

Several people nodded with serious expressions.

After the treatment, beads of sweat appeared on Xu Weiwei's forehead and back, and her little face was rosy, looking pleasing no matter how you looked at her.

Mrs. Seaforth wiped her daughter's sweat and couldn't help kissing her twice. Seeing her daughter finish a bottle of milk with a good appetite, she thanked the priest sincerely.

"I shouldn't have questioned your medical skills. I was blind and didn't recognize you. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes." The priest waved his hand and said casually.

Mrs. Seaforth couldn't help laughing. She hadn't expected the other party to be so uncivilized.

After coming out, she told her husband: "This old lady is quite interesting. At first I thought she was difficult to approach, but she is actually quite humorous and cute."

When we returned to the sacrificial site, the competition had already entered the second event, shooting the thrown cloth bags.

Just as he was about to go closer to take a look, he heard a commotion coming from the inner field, and soon a person was carried out - a middle-aged man who was a little older, with an arrow stuck in his leg, bleeding.

When he was carried out, he was holding his thigh and groaning in pain. There was a man holding a bow next to him, who kept apologizing. It was obvious that he was the culprit.

I squeezed into the inner field and saw the chief's wife, so I asked what was going on.

It turned out that there was a problem with one of the contestants' bow. The tip of the bow broke at the moment of shooting, and the direction was out of control. The angle of the arrow that was originally intended to fly into the sky became lower and crooked, and it pierced the leg of a spectator.

That man was also unlucky. Although he was standing on the side, it was not dangerous and he would have been fine under normal circumstances. Unfortunately, the arrow just hit his leg.

Of course the chief's wife couldn't tell this to her son, so she had to educate him.

"See? This is the consequence of running around aimlessly. You have to watch from behind when shooting arrows, don't you know?"

Ganz was so scared that he nodded obediently.

At around eleven o'clock, the first two items were completed and it was time for the last level, which was also the most exciting one - horseback archery.

This is the most difficult one. The horse's back is up and down and the person is constantly moving. It is difficult not to miss the target, not to mention that accuracy is required.

But those who could make it to the end were undoubtedly very capable. Many of them had already mounted their horses and seemed determined to win. Sifos noticed that there were even women among them.

Like a man, she carries a quiver on her back, holds the reins in her hands, holds her head high and chest out, full of healthy wild beauty.

"Do the women here also know how to ride and shoot?" Sifos chatted with the chief's wife.

"Yes. Here, everyone, young or old, male or female, can ride a horse. It is as natural to us as drinking water. And some women are better riders than men."

"The one riding the red-maned horse over there is called Shengnan. She is already a mother of three children, but she always ranks among the top in horseback archery competitions. She is better than the men in her family. She is also the captain of a hunting team and has a group of gentlemen under her. Everyone respects her very much."

"That's amazing," Seaforth praised.

"What about the women there? Are they all quiet, like your wife?"

"Not really. We have a lot of powerful women here too, but they are powerful from a different perspective," Sifos replied.

Because many parents will train their daughters to be versatile, but this versatility is not to allow her to gain a foothold, but to help her accumulate capital to rely on men. Some people even train their daughters directly with an investment mentality.

The chief's wife nodded as if she understood, thinking that Sifos was saying that the women there were superior in some other ways.

The three items were competed in a tight race, and the results came out on the spot. The chief loudly announced the list and asked everyone to gather at this place at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the team members of Sifos would teach everyone how to use the rope gun.

Those who qualified cheered loudly. Some even rode their horses around the field to celebrate. Their high spirits made the eliminated contestants jealous.

Unfortunately, Gan Li and Gan Yi both lost. There was nothing they could do. Compared with the old seniors in the tribe, they were still too young and had a lot to learn.

In the evening, the chief selected several women from the tribe who were good at cooking, set up four or five tables at the sacrificial site, and entertained the people from Xifos.

In the morning, the team members stood on the top of the starship to watch the game. The old team members were okay, after all, they had seen it once when they first arrived, but it was the first time for the new team members to see it, and they all found it eye-opening.

Especially when I saw them shooting arrows on horseback, I exclaimed, "So cool." When I learned that some people had learned to ride horses during this period, I was even more jealous.

At night, his anger and grief turned into appetite. In addition, since everyone sitting around him was from the same family, the scramble for food became even louder. Everyone ate their fill, and the plates on the table were almost empty.

"Um, put that pig's trotter down! You guys have eaten so much here, and you're still trying to steal our food. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

"I won't. I'm eating from the bowl while looking at the pot. You should swallow the meat in your mouth first."

"This mutton is so tender and delicious, eat it!"

"What kind of seasoning is sprinkled on it? It smells so good, I really want to take some back home..."

The captains on both sides covered their faces, wanting to escape from this place and pretend not to know them. But this was impossible, so they had to try to evoke the images of their companions.

"Da Hammer, you've already eaten so much, that's enough. Aren't you tired of eating this every day?"

"Not greasy. Captain, here, the last piece of pork ribs."

"……Thanks."

"Heiqi, you should eat less too. Didn't you say you have a sore throat these past two days?"

"Yes, so it's just right to fight fire with fire."

Old Captain: ...I can’t persuade him at all.

Compared to the old captain's tactfulness, the new team leader is much more direct.

"Stop eating! You guys are almost poking the bottom of the plate. Isn't that embarrassing enough? Has the military district ever been short of food for you?"

"Captain, if you don't want to eat the piece on your plate, give it to me. It's almost getting cold."
