Chapter 1209: White-Headed

Qianxi slapped his forehead and said with a slightly wretched air, "Oops, I almost forgot about this. Those Huaxia people, they love to eat this!"

Following this, Qianxi's Knife pointed toward that strange place, slicing off two rather large eggs, then continued to grope around, cleaning out everything in the pelvic cavity, and finally cleared out a rather long meat rod.

When this thing was in Qianxi's hands, the men all felt a chill in their crotches and were a bit afraid; they did not understand why the Huaxia people liked to eat this thing. What kind of strange group of people were these Huaxia people?

"Leader, how do you think this should be handled? Should it be smoked to be good?"

Bingzhu also smacked his lips and said, "This, how about we make it into jerky? Don't chop it up, leave it whole; when the time comes, we might really trade it with those Huaxia people."

"Bones! Don't forget the bones; clean the bones up too and we'll take them with us."

Qianxi's face was covered in blood, and he handed the eggs and the meat rod to the other Soldiers, letting them take them to be skewered for jerky, while he continued to process the tiger so that all the bones could be cleaned.

Before long, the bones of the entire large Jin Hu were all dismantled into small pieces; the tiger head was also kept because it was very frightening, and it would be a very good decoration to take back to the tribe.

It just so happened that there were people in the tribe who knew how to craft tiger heads and could open the skull to clean out the things inside; Qianxi was indeed an excellent hunter and also an extremely skilled butcher.

But to open such a hard skull, one still needed more professional people using more professional tools.

The campfire was already burning very brightly; Qianxi divided the meat into small pieces and gave them to every Soldier—everyone had some. Such work had to be done by a Leader like Qianxi.

Everyone sat around the campfire eating roasted tiger meat and suddenly felt much more comfortable, and their fatigue was alleviated.

The red color on Qianxi's body had still not faded and was still just as ruddy; wherever skin could be seen, it was all red, and even though Qianxi had taken off his clothes, he still did not feel cold at all.

After eating the tiger meat, Bingzhu also felt his whole body burning with heat, so he hurriedly boiled some Snow to drink. Fortunately, there was still some accumulated Snow on the leaves and on the ground that hadn't completely melted; otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to find water to drink right now.

It is best not to eat Snow directly unless it is a last resort; only when there is no fire can one eat Snow to quench thirst. It's not that the Snow isn't clean, but after eating too much Snow, blisters will grow in the mouth, which is not as good as drinking melted Snow.

Now that there was so much blood here, along with two human corpses, the Soldiers had to be kept on alert for the surroundings. If another large Jin Hu suddenly rushed out, then, given their current state, it would likely be more than just two people dying.

If there is the scent of a tiger, ordinary wild beasts will not dare to come, but now the smell of blood has long since surpassed the scent of the tiger, and it will definitely attract wild beasts. As long as a bear doesn't come, it will be fine; if a bear comes, it will certainly be a fierce battle.

These Soldiers of theirs had been brought out from the Jiuli and were now on their way home; more than a dozen had already died along the way. Fortunately, it was still within the acceptable normal range; if any more had died, Bingzhu felt that he would have no way to explain himself upon returning, and in the end, he would certainly be labeled as incompetent.

After eating the tiger meat, the group set off again; they would arrive in a few more days, so they could not continue to delay.

However, on the second day, everyone discovered that quite a few people had grown white hair, with Qianxi's being the most obvious. Those without experience were a bit panicked, thinking they were going to die because they had suddenly grown old.

The experienced Qianxi was not in a hurry because he knew this was a normal phenomenon; it was just that the tiger blood was too hot and had burned their hair white. There were no women here, so it was perfectly normal. This was mainly because it was tiger blood; if it had been deer blood, he would definitely not have had any problems even if he drank that much.

Hearing Qianxi's explanation, the young Soldiers who lacked experience and thought they had been cursed by some witchcraft and had their lifespans stolen by someone finally set their minds at ease. Qianxi did not care at all about his own suddenly graying hair; anyway, he wasn't old, so what was there to fear? When he got back, he would find more women, and it would slowly turn black again.

Baifeng understood this cause quite well, because there are only a few reasons for white hair: first, excessive blood heat, which is what is called being "burned"; second, excessive worry, which is the reason for premature graying. In the elderly, white hair is simply due to the exhaustion of kidney Qi.

Premature graying is relatively common. If a young man has white hair and doesn't have many worries, then he is quite vigorous and has a very strong internal fire; finding a partner will settle him down, and his hair will definitely turn black again.

So, tribesmen in front of your phones, don't worry and don't be afraid. For premature graying, there is no need to seek medical help blindly. If it's from excessive worry, find a partner; if it's from kidney failure and white hair (accompanied by deafness), then prepare a Coffin.

After several days of continuous travel, the weather was also very cooperative and gradually became warmer, which allowed their marching speed to become relatively fast.

A Soldier had two eggs and a meat rod hanging from his waist; now, because of dehydration, they had started to become shriveled. Yet, it was precisely because of this ridiculous image that everyone kept laughing. No one wanted to carry this thing, so they had to take turns.

And this reason also led the people of their Jiuli to have a strange factor in their view of Huaxia; whenever Huaxia was mentioned, they would always think of the special habits of the Huaxia people.

If Baifeng knew about this, he might not have mentioned it in the first place. Let's see when the people of the Jiuli discover the mystery of it themselves and see if they can change their views on Huaxia.

The large group trudged onto their own territory and could not help but excitedly shout aloud. The tribesmen working saw that the people who had been gone for nearly a year had returned, and they were all astonished, as well as extremely excited and happy; no one wanted their own tribesmen to meet with misfortune.

Soon this news spread throughout the tribe, and everyone was enthusiastically welcoming the arrival of Bingzhu and the others, blocking the road completely. Of course, they were all curious as to why they had been gone for so long and what had happened on the road.

In a boring era, it takes such special events to stimulate the passion for life.

Of course, there were also people who noticed the giant tiger head the Soldiers were carrying on their backs; if it hadn't been cut off and left dangling on their backs, bloody and mangled, it really could have frightened a large group of people.
