Chapter 154 Across the river, making candles(1/2)

When Wang Wei was approaching Mei Pharmacy, he saw Xia Dao again.

It turns out that Xia Dao was kicked by an angry ewe on his hand while milking the goat, and he came to see Mei for bandage.

Wang Wei saw that his injured hand was fine and asked him to be careful in the future.

After separating from Xia Dao, go directly to the pharmacy.

Obviously Mei didn't expect Wang Wei to come to her.

After Wang Wei entered the pharmacy, he saw that Su Xiaoxiao was there, as well as the mute from Ji Hao's original tribe, whose name was now Ji Sang.

Mei arranged for Ji Sang to change the dressing for that person at the construction site.

When Wang Wei saw that Mei and Su Xiaoxiao were the only two people left, he was ready to tell them about Grandma Rong.

Unexpectedly, someone in the ward heard Wang Wei's voice and came to the pharmacy one by one.

There are Ji Hao and Xia Zhu in the ward. Previously, Ji Hao was teaching Xia Zhu the lactation method;

In addition, there was the nanny from the Stone Tribe, Ji Yue, with their large breasts exposed, and they were holding the baby to breastfeed.

It is true that primitive people have an open mind. They did not avoid Wang Wei when he saw him coming, and even went to see him specially.

They felt that the atmosphere was not right as soon as they arrived. The nanny and Ji Yue from the Stone Tribe seemed to be looking at him with ill intentions, and blushed when they looked at him.

Mei, Su Xiaoxiao and others looked at him and just smiled.

This made Wang Wei a little confused. Could something have happened to him?

Doesn't doing push-ups in the morning mean that Hua and Su Xiaoxiao kissed each other? This little thing is worth making a fuss about in a primitive society?

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were clear and bright. She probably didn't say anything about kissing.

Wang Wei said: "Is there no flowers on my face? Are you all looking at me so strangely?"

Instead, Ji Yue said: "Your Majesty, Doctor Mei said that if you want to become stronger, you need to drink our milk."

Wang Wei glared at Mei, Mei was not afraid of him.

"Oh, that's it. Well, I'm a little busy. I'll leave first."

Wang Wei really couldn't stay any longer and had to leave. He knew that Mei was also thinking about him, but he didn't want things to turn into this.

It's better to save some face. In the future... what will future generations think of him?

Mei shouted: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me? You haven't told me yet."

Wang Wei thought that with so many people here, it would be difficult to tell Grandma Rong's personal affairs.

"Let's talk about it tonight."

After coming out of the pharmacy, he wanted to find someone to ask about Granny Chong and Old Man Yu. Who should he talk to? Who knew the most detailed information about them? He could only talk to Old Man Yu.

At this time, Shi Yun ran over in a hurry. He said that Xia Dazui and the others were going to cross the river. She asked Wang Wei if he wanted to go to the other side of the river.

Wang Wei thought that Grandma Rong's matter could not be solved for the time being, so he ignored it for the time being and went to the other side of the river to have a look.

So he and Shi Yun walked towards the river.

There was a person standing on the river bank, and Wang Wei recognized it as Hu Meizi from afar.

After getting closer, he asked: "Hu Meizi, what are you looking at?"

"Your Majesty, I'm looking at how to cross the river."

"Isn't it just rowing across? Don't you also want to go to the other side?"

Hu Meizi blushed a little and said: "Your Majesty, I...are afraid of water."

"Afraid of water? Hehe, I didn't expect you to be a landlubber?"

Hu Meizi obviously doesn't understand what a landlubber is.

Wang Wei felt that he was a little surprised. Some people are afraid of heights and some are afraid of water. This is normal, but he did not expect that such a strong character as Hu Meizi would be afraid of water.

"You are afraid of water, I will let Xia Dazui protect you."

"Your Majesty, I'm still here to watch."

Shi Yun also persuaded her, but Hu Meizi insisted not to go.

Wang Wei and Shi Yun didn't force themselves. They walked to the simple pier. The simple pier was a bit high from the river, but there was a ladder to get down.

Xia Dazui was waiting for them on the bamboo raft below.

There were three bamboo rafts crossing the river this time. The hunting groups 1, 3, and 4 all crossed the river. If Xia Feng's group 2 was there, they would also cross the river.

After getting on the bamboo raft, Wang Wei felt a little dizzy in the swaying water, so he immediately sat on the bamboo raft.

Xia Dazui is quite well prepared and has animal skin cushions on it to sit on.

"My King, you must sit tight and don't fall into the river."

"Although you care about me, Xia Dazui, you still have a bad mouth."

Xia Dazui laughed loudly. He stood at the end of the bamboo raft. In front of him were deputy team leader Xia Yi, Xia Yi, Xia Er and others who used wood pulp to paddle water to control the direction.

Although the bamboo rafts draw water, their feet are not wet because there are four floating inflatable sheepskins under each bamboo raft. It would be better if there were more such sheepskins under the bamboo rafts.

Shi Yun was also sitting on the bamboo raft. She was still a little nervous.

Wang Wei asked: "Shi Yun, aren't you also afraid of water?"

Shi Yun said: "I'm not afraid, it's just my first time riding this bamboo raft."

Wang Wei felt uncomfortable because such a bamboo raft was too simple. He wondered if a fence could be built around the raft to make it feel safer.

When the bamboo raft reached the center of the river, Wang Wei saw that the bamboo poles used by Xia Dazui to punt the boat had already taken in half of the water, which meant that the river was close to 5 meters deep. If the river water rose to the height of the dock, it would be almost 8 meters deep.

meters deep.

Xia Dazui is quite proficient in punting, after all, he has practiced.

"Boom boom boom! Bang... bang..."

Suddenly everyone heard a loud noise, and then a series of sounds. The sound was very loud, and it was the sound of tree branches breaking.

Xia Dazui stopped rowing and looked in the direction of Xia's tribe.

"Your Majesty, the logging team should be cutting down the tree. That tree is a bit big."

Wang Wei said: "I know, Xia Huo said that he found a big tree and it should have been cut down."

Shi Yun asked: "Is it used to make boats?"

Wang Wei nodded.

After reaching the other side of the river, the hunting team dragged the bamboo raft to the dry river bed, and then used tools to set traps.

When we got to the river bank on this side, we realized that there were more reeds. Large tracts of white reed flowers were intertwined into dense layers, and they were like clumps of flowers, like flying snow.

There are also many waterbirds gathered in the aloe grass. They thrive here. These unnamed waterbirds flew out from here, scaring Wang Wei and Shi Yun.

Wang Weili came here mainly to check out the wild animals and terrain.

Xia Dazui's group was responsible for making rope traps, and the other two groups were responsible for digging traps underground.

Setting traps is not just random. First, find the water source in the wilderness, and start looking for animal traces near the water source. After setting the trap, you can use the surrounding soil and rotten leaves to camouflage it.

Wang Wei followed Xia Dazui into the woods. As he walked around, he found a tree here with branches covered with white things. He used a dagger to pick away the things covering the branches.

He knew he had found something good. This kind of tree is an ash tree, which is covered with white wax and can be used to make candles. The ash tree can also be used to make spears and spears. The bark and leaves of the ash tree can also be used to make medicine.

Shi Yun came over and asked, "What good treasure did your Majesty find?"

"Shi Yun, look at the large ash trees here. Do you know what these ash trees can do?"

"I don't know, what can I do?"

"Let me ask you, do you feel it's too dark to go anywhere at night? You can make candles with this thing."

Wang Wei felt that today was not in vain. He had always wanted to make candles and he was going to realize it today.

Wang Wei immediately asked Shi Yun to help him collect pewter and put the pewter flowers in animal skin bags.

Shi Yun said that there are many such trees in the Stone Tribe.

Wang Wei was even more happy. He didn't expect there to be so many ash trees on both sides of the river. He wanted people to collect more ash flowers and make candles.

It's also because he rarely wanders around the woods. If he goes out often, he will find more useful things.

When it was almost dark, Wang Wei and Shi Yun collected about two to three hundred kilograms of white wax flowers and asked Xia Dazui to carry them to the bamboo raft.

Because I was collecting ash flowers today, I didn't have time to visit the wasteland here, so I have to wait until next time.

Back in the tribe, Wang Wei asked the hunting group to help, and he assigned people to fetch bamboo tubes, rushes, etc.

Since the Xia tribe would often use candles in the future, he assigned a person to be responsible for learning how to make candles. This person was an old woman from the Xia tribe, Xia Teng.

After Xia Teng learned it, Wang Wei sent several people to make special candles for her, so that the night lighting of Xia Teng would be mainly candles in the future.

Everyone knew that the king wanted to make a new thing, so they were naturally willing to work as coolies.

Shi Yun didn't leave, she was also watching carefully. Those white wax flowers were the most common items, and she wanted to see what the king made.
