Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The snow season comes unexpectedly.

The wind, wrapped in ice chips, howled in the forest, pulling the last few dead leaves off the branches and rolling them into the sky.

The clouds pressed down heavily, and when the first snowflake fell on the pine needles, it was still a little hesitant, and in an instant it became flying catkins all over the sky.

Overnight, the river in front of the square froze into a blue-gray ice belt, and the bushes bent over, their branches covered with fluffy snow.

Sang Tian's breath condensed into white mist in the cold air.

The sky and water are one color, covered with rime.

……

Sang Tian lazily sat up from the warm kang and spread out the animal skin blanket filled with cotton.

Yawning, stretching, he walked out of the bedroom.

I saw that Cang had already lit the stove.

The charcoal licked the dry wood, sending out scattered sparks. A clay pot sat on the stove, filled with red date, laurel, and white fungus porridge. Two potatoes were also roasting in the stove.

Life is like the porridge in this pot, simmered slowly over low heat.

After breakfast, Sang Tian had to go to the witch to continue learning witchcraft.

The entire snow season is interesting except for fishing in the river.

The rest of the time, I can only be bored.

The only entertainment I have in my spare time is visiting friends and chatting with them while making tea.

Life is pretty good.

The tribesmen covered themselves with quilts and ate sorghum rice, konjac, cassava, potatoes, taro, etc.

No need to worry about starving or freezing.

To say it was dull was even more fitting. After all, the snow season was long, and during this time, one could only endure boredom.

Every day, they either sit by the fire or warm the kang, or they close the door and start making babies.

There are so many single-family houses now.

Sang Tian rarely heard those noises.

……

Every other day, Sang Tian would go to Wu to study.

Sang Tian could also diagnose some common diseases based on the witch's teachings and narration.

And try to give them medicine.

The prescribed medicine will be checked by Wu himself. If there is anything inappropriate, he will make adjustments and tell Sang Tian why.

In this way, Sang Tian's ability to treat illnesses increased dramatically, and he could also prescribe medicines almost accurately.

During the snow season, the most common disease is cold, and symptoms such as fever are more difficult to treat.

With the improvement of living standards, the number, frequency and severity of colds during the snow season have improved significantly in the past two years.

But this year, Sang Tian used his golden finger to discover a lot of new medicines that are very effective in treating fever.

Now, what Sang Tian knows is still not enough.

But you can see the trick.

Everything is under control.

Look, a month later.

The sand pot was filled with steam, and Jie and the others came to visit Sang's house.

Ming said that her period has not come for more than 20 years.

I want to ask Sang Tian to prescribe some witchcraft medicine to treat it.

After Sang Tian's careful diagnosis.

It was discovered that Ming was about one and a half months pregnant.

The wind outside the window blew snowflakes across the windowsill.

She seemed not to hear, but was stunned to think about what Sang had just said. Her head was buzzing.

Sang said that she was pregnant.

Are you pregnant?!

Tears slowly welled up in her eyes, and her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. The sudden softness made her nose sore.

She was carrying a miraculous life in her belly, and she and Mu were going to be parents!

In the past, when I heard that Lan and He were pregnant, I was very happy for them.

Now that it’s really my turn to get pregnant, the thoughts in my mind are simply indescribable.

She was happy, shy, dazed, scared, worried, and anxious...

This is probably the psychology that every great mother has to go through...

At this time, Mu and his men were still fishing by the river.

Sang Tian asked the transport team that was going to transport the fish to tell Mu the good news and come back as soon as possible.

After a long time.

Ming was sitting in front of the stove, his cheeks bulging as he ate the crispy pork fried by Sang Tian.

The door was flung open.

A lot of wind and snow came in.

Yes, Mu is back.

He rushed up almost without touching the ground.

When Mu looked up.

There was still a hint of moisture on her eyelashes, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had just cried, or as if she was hiding some great joy. Even the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were shy and timid, yet also held a sparkling anticipation.

His chest was heaving violently, and the gasps from running all the way just now flowed into his throat.

But suddenly I was stuck and couldn't speak.

He strode over and squatted beside Ming.

I couldn't help but put my hand on her lower abdomen.

The fingertips are gently curled up, as if holding some rare treasure.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the frost on the back of his hand.

He immediately pulled his hand back.

The whole house was filled with the smell of happiness and joy.

Duo and Jie smiled at each other.

There was more anticipation in his eyes.

Mu, who is usually taciturn, was very happy today but had a lot to say, and there was a hint of boasting in his words.

This made Guo and Yong very envious.

I secretly encouraged myself to try hard tonight.

……

Cang just watched them joking silently, without saying anything and without any special expression.

But Sang Tian thought, he was probably envious too.

In ancient times when medical care was extremely underdeveloped, pregnancy was a disaster for Sang Tian.

Prenatal checkups are not possible, and it is impossible to rule out birth defects, genetic diseases, rare diseases, etc.

By the day of delivery, I was truly on the verge of death.

It’s really hard to survive.

After all, this year, five women have suffered difficult labors, two of whom died.

A baby was born with a disabled leg.

One suffered heavy bleeding, leaving only the child and his father to depend on each other; the other was the victim of two deaths, and when the witch told her that she could not give birth at all, the mother died of exhaustion.

As an expert with a dagger, Cang endured the grief and, under Sang Tian's guidance, used a knife to cut open the belly of the dead pregnant woman.

My child is suffocating to death...

Even if the Ganoderma lucidum was fed into their mouths, it would still be of no use.

It’s not that the Ganoderma lucidum is not effective enough.

Rather, the medical level is really too poor.

This was a very sad event for the tribe this year. The witch performed a proper sacrifice for the two pregnant women.

To be honest, Sang Tian was very scared.

But Cang's fear is no less than Sang Tian's.

Therefore, this is why Cang never mentions future matters, and never asks what their children will look like...

Sang Tian was naturally afraid.

But I didn't think about avoiding it.

Everything, let it be.

If the pregnancy is unexpected, give birth to the baby.

If you can't get pregnant, it's God's will.

……

In the remaining two months.

Sang Tian still went to the witch as usual, and improved day by day.

Tribal members often organize fishing trips to the river.

I'm getting tired of eating fish.

Later, Duo and Yu became pregnant one after another. Many females in the tribe were pregnant.

Yong was as happy as a fool, and asked Duo every once in a while if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat anything.

Duo was both angry and amused.

"I'm not that sharp-fanged beast in the menagerie!"

Yu is a bit old now, so naturally we take good care of her and don't dare to make any mistakes.

She was only two years older than Lan, at thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and ancient females had good physical qualities. With proper recuperation, she should be fine.

Even Lin became much more obedient when he learned that his mother was pregnant, for fear of disturbing her rest.

Sang Tian often makes some nourishing medicinal food suitable for pregnant women and sends it to a few people.

I guess it will be when the snow season officially ends.

I’m afraid there must be quite a few pregnant women in the tribe.
