Chapter 184 What a Broken Rule
Then she directed the females to fetch clean animal hides and plenty of water in preparation for cleaning the wounds.
Nan Qiao personally checked the severity of each person's wound. For shallow scratches, she asked the females to gently rinse off the dirt and blood around the wound with clean water to ensure that no foreign matter remained. Then she applied the homemade herbal ointment evenly on it and carefully bandaged it with strips of cloth cut from animal skins.
For males with deeper wounds, in addition to the above treatment steps, she also used simple bone needles and plant fiber threads, roasted them slightly over fire for disinfection, and then carefully sutured the wounds.
Despite the crude conditions, she tried to be as meticulous as possible in order to reduce the pain of the injured and lower the risk of infection.
Kamu was also injured. Nan Qiao squatted down and carefully checked Kamu's wound.
Kamu's eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao, full of admiration and curiosity. He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Chosen One, I didn't expect you to have such amazing medical skills. Are you a witch doctor?"
Nan Qiao smiled softly and shook his head. As he picked up the bone needle and plant fiber thread to sew up Kamu's wound, he said, "I'm not a witch doctor. I'm just copying."
In modern times, most people have some knowledge of first aid. For example, if the wound is too large, most people know that it needs to be sutured so that it can heal faster.
Nan Qiao held the bone needle steadily in his hand and carefully pierced it through the edge of Kamu's wound. Although his movements were a little clumsy, he sewed each stitch very carefully.
Kamu frowned slightly, but forced himself not to make a sound.
After stitching the wound, Nan Qiao raised his head, his eyes filled with concern and admonition: "Kamu, the wound on your arm is very deep. Don't get it wet during this period, otherwise it will easily get infected. If you feel any discomfort, be sure to tell me immediately."
Kamu looked at Nan Qiao, his eyes full of gratitude, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, Lord Chosen One."
After treating the wounds, it was time to distribute the food.
Although Kamu and his friends had no success in hunting today, according to the rules set by Nanqiao, each of them received a wooden sign.
Chief Agula stood by the food storage area and said loudly, "Although we didn't hunt any food today, we all worked hard. The food you can get with this wooden sign is just enough for everyone's dinner."
The males took their hard-earned wooden signs and headed towards the food distribution area.
The elder who distributed the food carefully examined the wooden sign and handed each person a palm-sized piece of roasted meat. Although the amount of meat was not much, after being simply roasted, it exuded an enticing aroma. The surface of the meat was slightly browned and the fat was still sizzling.
I was given a small handful of wild fruits. These fruits were brightly colored, with sweet and sour red berries and fragrant green fruits.
There were also two sweet potatoes with crispy skins, and the cracks in the sweet potatoes revealed golden flesh, steaming hot.
And a bowl of soup made from animal bones, with some young wild vegetable leaves floating in the soup. Although it is light, it has a strong bone aroma.
The females got two wooden signs because they followed Nan Qiao to make fishing nets and ointments today.
They walked towards the distribution area with two wooden signs in their hands, full of anticipation.
The elder in charge of distribution gave each female more abundant food according to the rules.
A piece of tender roasted venison with clear texture and fat slightly oozing out at the edge, exuding a rich meaty aroma; a few cooked bird eggs with light brown spots on the eggshells. With a gentle tap, the delicate egg whites and golden yolks inside are revealed.
There was also a piece of raw meat, a large piece of fresh rabbit meat, the rabbit meat was pink in color, with a hint of blood, and was placed on a large leaf.
In addition, there is a handful of fresh wild vegetables with emerald green leaves and tender roots. They are common edible species near the tribe.
Among the many females, Ai was recognized as the best performer due to her dexterity in weaving fishing nets and her diligence in searching for medicinal herbs.
Nan Qiao personally handed today's exclusive reward to Ai. It was a bracelet made of exquisite shells. The shells sparkled with colorful light in the sun, and there were several colorful feathers in the middle. It was very beautiful.
Ai accepted the reward with a smile of pride and joy on her face, while the other females looked at her with envy.
At the same time, I also secretly made up my mind to work harder tomorrow, hoping that I could also get such beautiful jewelry.
"Wow, we've harvested quite a lot today. With these two wooden signs, we can feed everyone in the family!" An older female said to her companion with a smile.
"Yes, look at this roasted venison, it smells so good, my little ones must be so happy. And this rabbit meat, I plan to go back and make some rabbit meat stewed with wild vegetables, it will definitely be delicious." Another female responded with sparkling eyes.
"Ayi, you are amazing. This beautiful bracelet suits you so well. You deserve to be the best performer today!" A young female said to Ayi with envy and admiration.
Aiyi smiled modestly and shook her head slightly: "Hey, I just did a little more and I didn't expect to get a reward."
"I like this bracelet very much. I will wear it well and continue to work hard to do more for the tribe in the future."
"This new rule is great! As long as we work hard, we don't have to worry about not having food to eat, and we can even get rewards!"
"That's right, we have to work harder and not lose to the males. Maybe we can get more and better things in the future!" The other females nodded in agreement, and laughter echoed in the tribe.
Wulan slept for the whole afternoon and finally woke up. She stretched lazily and found that everyone in the tribe had taken back food and started preparing dinner.
She naturally couldn't get any food without a sign, but she wasn't worried at all. She was confident that her beauty would get other males to share their food with her.
Wulan raised a confident smile at the corner of her mouth, twisted her waist, and walked gently towards several males who were carrying food back to the stone house.
"Did everyone have a good hunt today?" Ulan asked in a tender voice, her eyes moving over their food.
One of the males smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything, and prepared to leave.
Seeing no one respond, Wu Lan stopped them and got straight to the point: "I'm feeling a little unwell today and haven't been working. I'm still hungry. Can you guys share some food with me?"
The males who were usually quite attentive to Wulan now looked embarrassed.
Gru even whispered, "Ulan, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I only got this little food today, just enough to barely fill my stomach."
Wu Lan didn't believe it and snorted, "How is that possible? Why did Qiao Qiao only give you so little food? What kind of rotten rule is this!"
Hearing Wulan's complaint, a male looked up and said helplessly: "Wulan, this is true."
