In the cruel wilderness where vicious birds and beasts appeared and their lives were threatened from time to time, the villagers 'requirements were very simple. As long as they had food and could eat their fill, they would be satisfied.
The bonfire danced, and Stone Village was very lively. Men and women, old and young, were all smiling, filled with laughter.
"Children, don't run around. Come for the medicinal bath in a while and have a good sleep at night. In the future, you'll be stronger than ferocious beasts.”An old man said with a smile.
"Ah…No!" When the group of children heard this, they all screamed and fled, hiding in various places in the village.
"A bunch of fools, you really don't know how lucky you are. That's a rare tonic. If you can persevere in the medicinal bath, your muscles and bones can be comparable to those of a giant beast.”The adults scolded and started to catch their children like they were catching chicks.
"It hurts. I don't want to take a medicinal bath. Last time, it was like a knife cutting me.”
"Dad, let go. I don't want to be cooked.”
The group of children resisted fiercely, but their small arms could not win against their thighs, so they were all captured.
Eight large bronze cauldrons had already been placed on an empty plot of land in the village. Flames were raging beneath them, and the water in the cauldrons was boiling. A few old men threw medicinal herbs into the cauldrons. Occasionally, they would also put in a few centipedes that were about a foot long, spiders the size of fists, and so on. The water that was originally very clear turned black, like ink. It was very scary.
The group of children's faces turned green at that moment. They wanted to escape immediately, but they were held down by the adults.
Soon after, another clansman brought over dozens of earthen jars. A few elders took them and carefully opened them. They poured some of the dark red liquid into the large copper cauldron, causing the black water to boil even more.
This was a small amount of true blood extracted from the bodies of those ferocious beasts that had been hunted. It was very precious. Whether it was used by adults or children, it could strengthen their physique. In addition, the villagers had a few ancient recipes. With some medicinal herbs, the effect of true blood would be even better.
Apart from the true blood, the elders also ordered people to grind the wing bones of the flying python and the foot bones of the Kui Beast and throw them into the boiling water.
When the fire was extinguished, the water in the cauldron was no longer boiling. When the temperature of the water dropped slightly, screams and putong putong sounds could be heard. The first batch of children were thrown in, and there were two to three people in each cauldron.
"It hurts. This water can burn people.”
"Help! It's as if my body has been cut by a knife. My skin and flesh are splitting apart!”
They bared their teeth, grabbed their feet, and tried their best to rush out. In the end, they were all pressed back, screaming repeatedly.
Just like that, dozens of children were thrown in batch by batch. Most of them were screaming and struggling. Only seven or eight children were slightly better. Although they were sweating from the pain, they endured it and did not make a sound.
As for the little guy, he was also unable to escape. Furthermore, he was given special care and was thrown into a black cauldron alone. There was only a little water added inside, and the rest was filled with fierce beast true blood, broken bones, and so on.
The villagers didn't feel that it was inappropriate, nor did they feel that they favored one over the other, because their own children couldn't endure it. They were already crying out heart-wrenchingly in an ordinary medicinal cauldron, but the little guy could eat it.
In addition, when the black cauldron that the little guy was using boiled, the old chief opened two special pots and poured the liquid into the cauldron one by one.
A streak of scarlet light rushed out from one of the jars and condensed into a palm-sized Pi Xiu. It was mighty and ferocious, as if it wanted to tear people apart and escape. Its ferocity was extremely strong. Shi Yunfeng's palm lit up with glowing characters. The bone characters lit up and with a slap, the Pi Xiu was scattered, turning into blood that fell into the cauldron.
A two-headed rhinoceros rushed out of the other jar. It was as red as fire, brilliant and terrifying. It raised its head and roared angrily. It was also scattered by the old chief and fell into the black cauldron.
When the temperature of the water dropped slightly, the little guy was lifted up and thrown into the cauldron. He struggled with all his might, because he was still young, he would choke on water if he sat inside. When he just fell in, he immediately drank a few big mouthfuls.
The children on the opposite side all revealed looks of sympathy. They suddenly felt that they were very lucky. That medicinal liquid that only added a small amount of water and was mainly made up of special true blood, beast bones, tendons, and so on would definitely make a person's skin and bones feel even more intense pain. The little guy was truly pitiful.
Even some of the adults couldn't bear to see the little fellow struggle with all its might, baring its teeth and occasionally drinking a few mouthfuls of sticky liquid. It was really a little worrying.
"It's okay. It's not the first time. He used to be like this too. Drinking more medicinal liquid was not bad. If he could absorb it, it would be of great benefit to him.”The old chief said. His care and nursing of the little guy was sometimes very extensive.
"His constitution is extremely strong. In addition, the mysterious power of the Bone Text might also be circulating, helping him refine a portion of the medicinal power. The little guy shouldn't be in much pain.”Another old man stroked his beard and said.
The medicinal bath lasted for a long time. The group of children were soaked like red-skinned monkeys. They were all miserable and looked at each other. Tears flowed down their faces until the medicinal bath ended. They were finally free.
The little guy did not cry when he was inside the black cauldron. His large black eyes rolled around, and his small face was as red as a big apple. However, when he was pulled out, he looked like he was drunk and swayed.
"How do you feel?" An old man asked.
The little fellow burped and said in a daze,"I'm full."
The adults were all amused by his simple-minded and innocent response.
"I'm sleepy." The little guy twisted and turned, and his small body fell into Shi Yunfeng's embrace. He softly muttered a sentence, and then made a slight 'Yi Ya' sound before falling into a deep sleep.
"Take these children to sleep well. They will grow a lot of strength tomorrow.”Chief Shi Yunfeng said.
In the end, a few elders cleaned up the remaining liquid. They didn't waste it, but instead added fire to the cauldron and put some special herbs into it to boil it dry and make it into medicinal powder. This was not only a tonic, but also a precious healing medicine. It could save lives when hunting in the mountains.
The living environment was harsh, fierce beasts were difficult to hunt, and true blood was rare and expensive. Otherwise, he would not have continued to brew medicinal powder like this after the children used it. He could not bear to waste it at all.
Of course, the young adults in the village didn't care. As long as they applied it on the wound, it would save their lives.
That night, the children slept soundly. When they woke up the next day, many of them were crying loudly because pieces of old skin had fallen off their bodies and the bed was dirty.
"Go, get a bucket of well water and wash yourself clean. Then, lift that millstone up for me.”
"Father, that's what Third Brother uses to train his strength, how can I lift it?”
"Don't talk nonsense. Did he use so much true blood and bone medicine for nothing last night? If you don't improve, I'll slap your butt into eight pieces!”
Early in the morning, Stone Village was in chaos. A group of children were forced to move large rocks and carry bronze cauldrons, complaining incessantly.
The effect was really obvious. The children had gained a lot of strength and their physiques had improved significantly. However, it would be a little too much to say that they had been reborn. It was not realistic.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
At the entrance of the village, the symbols on the palm of the chief Shi Yunfeng shone brightly. He held a purple-gold hammer in his hand and shattered the rarest part of the dragon horn of the dragon horn elephant. Then, he took a piece of the claw bone of the Pi Xiu and a small part of the red horn of the fire rhinoceros. He also shattered them and finally ground them into powder. He mixed the bone horn powder with a portion of the true blood of the fierce beast and put it into the boiling beast milk. Immediately, the fragrance rose.
Then, the old man threw in one strange herb after another. Not long after, the liquid in the jar gradually turned into a paste, but the fragrance became stronger.
"The little guy has eaten."
In the stone house, the little guy sat up immediately after hearing the shout. His big eyes were still very confused after waking up, but when the fragrance came, he quickly twitched his little nose and immediately became energetic. He muttered,"It smells so good."
"Of course. This is a true cauldron of precious medicine. Don't waste a single bit. Eat it all.”Shi Yunfeng laughed.
The little guy wolfed down his food, and in a short time, he finished eating the paste in the earthen jar. However, the negative effects immediately appeared. After all, he was still too young, and the medicinal strength was truly too strong. This morning, the usually cute little one had transformed into a problematic child. She had a pair of big red eyes like a white rabbit, and she was running around, screaming non-stop.
After the poor big yellow dog's tail was caught by him, it was forcefully pulled non-stop. The tail end was almost bald. It barked for a long time, causing a commotion in the village.
"Hey, little guy, why did you pull up the fence of Auntie's house?”
"What's wrong with this little guy? Why did he run to the roof of my house? Stop it quickly. You're not allowed to remove the tiles!”
……
The villagers were stunned. The usually obedient little guy had transformed into a little fierce beast, running around everywhere and tormenting them with all his might.
"I've absorbed a whole batch of medicine. The effect is pretty good.”Shi Yunfeng stood together with a few old men and was discussing softly. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
In the distance, many children saw this scene and were even more in awe of the clan leader. They all shivered and hid far away. They gathered together and whispered,"The little guy is really pitiful!"
The little guy's palm emitted light, and in the end, it spread upwards. Even his small arm also began to emit bone texts. They flickered, and were very mysterious. Moreover, his physique had been strengthened, and his speed and strength had increased by a large margin. This was also the reason why the old chief was relatively satisfied.
It was not until four hours later that he calmed down. He scratched his head in a daze and whispered,"Yiya, I'm in trouble."
