Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

A unique cry suddenly appeared.

This sound is somewhat similar to the howling of a puppy, but its pitch is much lower than that of a puppy.

After a while, the sound changed into another one, which sounded like the whimpering sound of a child playing.

Xia Shengsheng followed the sound and unexpectedly discovered two snow-white foxes.

As soon as Xia Shengsheng raised his hand to draw the bow and arrow, he was noticed by the sharp fox.

After one of the foxes made a warning whimper, the other fox received the signal and both foxes jumped up and ran away in two directions.

Xia Shengsheng released the arrows with great speed, shooting two arrows in succession. One of the arrows missed the target, but the other arrow hit the tail of a fox just fine. The other arrow hit a tree trunk directly, making the fox unable to move.

The fox struggled to break free and cried out as if asking for help.

The other escaped fox looked back, somewhat hesitantly, and only turned and ran away when Xia Shengsheng walked over and caught the fox.

The fox's tail was injured, but its body was not damaged at all. Fox meat is not tasty and cannot be sold, but its fox skin is the only valuable thing, so it doesn't matter whether it lives or dies.

Xia Shengsheng directly twisted the fox's neck to prevent it from escaping.

Then he chased in the direction the other fox escaped. Although he knew he might not catch up, he still had to try.

When passing a large patch of grass, a white fox ran through the grass, and Xia Shengsheng followed closely behind.

But maybe he was running too fast and didn't pay attention to his feet, so he was tripped by something and fell to the ground.

When I looked up at the fleeing fox again, it had disappeared.

"Really!"

When she turned around to see what had tripped her, she was shocked.

"Oh my God! Alive or dead?"

Xia Shengsheng saw that the person who tripped her was really a young child.

After peeling off the weeds on the child's face, we were sure that he was not a child from Kaoshan Village.

I just don't know where it came from.

I sniffed his breath and found that although his breath was weak, he was still alive.

Checked his body again.

Apart from a wound on the shoulder that looked like an animal bite, there was nothing unusual.

And the blood from the wound had already coagulated.

"This injury? Was it caused by a wolf?"

Suddenly I thought of the wolf remains I just saw.

Aren’t these the marks of wolf’s teeth?

Judging from the child’s age, he seems to be about the same age as Yiyiercheng.

If he was really besieged by that pack of wolves, how did he survive with only a shoulder injury?

Xia Shengsheng felt that he was definitely not the only one walking in the mountains.

So I checked around and found that the soil was loose not far away.

I stepped on the loose soil and found something underneath.

Xia Shengsheng gently brushed away the layer of dirt on top with her hands.

I just saw the corner of someone's clothes.

It looked like it had just been buried, but it was buried so shallowly that it would be dug out and eaten by wild beasts sooner or later.

He returned to the boy who had fainted, took out his water bag, supported the boy's head, and fed him a few sips of water.

Seeing the boy still swallowing unconsciously, Xia Shengsheng marveled at the boy's strong will to survive.

"Is that person a family member of yours? Do you want to bury him here?"

Although Xia Shengsheng asked the boy two questions, the only answer she got was silence.

If it was just an adult man fainting in the mountains, Xia Shengsheng would not care.

But with such a small child, she, who had just become a mother for a while, released the aura of motherhood.

"I'll help you bury your family and take you down the mountain to see a doctor, okay?"

Although the boy still didn't answer Xia Shengsheng.

But Xia Shengsheng just assumed that the boy agreed.

Because I didn't bring any tools with me, I entered the space to find Qiqi to buy a shovel, and then came out in a hurry.

Only Qiqi was left mumbling behind.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you didn't even say you wanted to chat for a while. Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

After Xia Shengsheng came out, he took a shovel and dug out the man who was covered with a light layer of mud.

It's not midsummer yet, and the temperature in the mountains is lower.

So the man's body had not yet rotted or changed its smell.

Xia Shengsheng saw that the man's body was covered with wounds of varying sizes.

There were several tooth marks on his arms, legs, and shoulders caused by wolf bites.

There was a bloody hole on his chest, as if it was caused by a sharp blade? This wound was obviously earlier than the one caused by the wolf bite.

It seems that this man not only fought with a pack of wolves, but also had at least a fierce battle before fighting with the wolves.

Xia Shengsheng marveled at the man's skills. He was able to defeat a pack of wolves even after being seriously injured, and he also protected a child of a few years old, allowing the child to survive in the end. This was quite impressive.

Holding a shovel, he dug the hole bit by bit with great effort.

There are many wild animals in the mountains, so the pit needs to be dug deeper, otherwise they will be dug out sooner or later.

It took about half an hour to dig a hole that was big enough and deep enough.

The man was put back, and the mud gradually covered his body again.

Until all the soil was completely covered, look around and make a clear mark.

In order to be able to find it later.

After doing all this, Xia Shengsheng placed the backpack in front of her chest, then lifted the boy up and prepared to carry him on her back.

At the moment of helping him up, I suddenly discovered that there was a plant under the boy. The leaves of the plant were oval in shape with a heart-shaped base and were dark and gray in color.

Xia Shengsheng searched his memory and remembered seeing it a few days ago. It looked like the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Xia Shengsheng helped the boy aside and leaned him against a tree.

She dug along the leaves to the roots of the plants.

Sure enough, the roots under the leaves had an irregular shape, like a lump of soil, and were dark brown in color.

Xia Shengsheng can basically confirm that this is Polygonum multiflorum.

Qiqi said she wanted to collect the medicinal herbs.

Xia Shengsheng carefully put the dug Polygonum multiflorum into the backpack, then carried the boy on his back and walked down the mountain.

After getting down the mountain, he did not go home, but went directly to Doctor Zhao.

"mother?"

Liu Yiyi, who was chopping chicken food in the yard, saw her mother carrying someone on her back and hanging the door of the yard, so she followed her out anxiously.

"Mom, who are you carrying? What happened to him?"

While Xia Shengsheng was explaining to Liu Yiyi, she asked Liu Yiyi to knock on Doctor Zhao's door.

"Here I am, stop knocking, old man, I'm not deaf."

Doctor Zhao came out of the room holding a medicine hammer.

Seeing that it was Xia Shengsheng, he was about to say a few more words, but then he saw that Xia Shengsheng was carrying an unconscious child on his back. He thought that something had happened to Ercheng, so he quickly asked Xia Shengsheng to bring the child in.

When Xia Shengsheng put the child on the bed, she could see what the child looked like.

"Whose child is this? Isn't he Ercheng?"
