The Rise of Iceland

Chapter 32: Black bear kills

     Olaf and Heine also left the camp behind Yotte and others, and walked to the southern dense forest.

   waded all the way deep and shallow, and out of the woods was a huge valley, flanked by cliffs as high as dozens of people, everyone clenched their weapons and passed through the valley, going higher and higher.

   Olaf looked back and glanced at the forest where the campsite was located in the low place far behind him.

Olaf noticed that Vinland Island might go south and get closer to the center, and the altitude would be higher. When he was observing the surrounding environment, he suddenly heard a huge animal roar and a man's roar from the hills ahead. , People are frightened when they hear it.

   "It's a bear cry!" Yotte quickened his pace and said anxiously, "Hadar met a bear!"

   Olaf also felt tight, and followed Kadir and Yoot and others to the col.

There are several catalpa and maple trees on the mountain. Two black bears that are shorter than humans fell to the ground, covered in blood, and a tall black bear was attacking the four men. The four kept evading, and the leader was Hadar, the four of them also had scratches and abrasions on their bodies, looking blood dripping.

Not far away there was a man in his forties on the ground with his head blooming, and red and white things were everywhere. Olaf recognized him as a carpenter in the village and Yi Luji’s father. He must have been Hadar and his party. He was attacked by a black bear. Although he killed two little black bears, he also killed one person.

  Kadir greeted him and rushed up with Yotte, Hoskurd and the other seven, hacked with the axe and stabbed with spears. The black bear supported it for a while, and was killed when he smashed two spears.

Olaf turned his head away from the carpenter who had died, walked in front of Hadar, and looked at his father's left arm muscles, blood flowing, hurriedly greeted Heine to fetch some wine from the camp, and then tore off the cloth strips on his clothes and gave it to Hadar. Temporarily bandage.

   Most Icelanders are good at dressing wounds, so Olaf actually learned from Hadar.

It’s just that Europeans at this time didn’t know how to sterilize the wound. They bandaged the wound, and then waited until the wound was suppurated and bleed, and then the wound scabs healed. During this period, many people would die from wound infection. .

   Of course, if you ask a doctor for treatment, it will make the patient die faster in weird ways such as missing arms, legs and guano poison.

   Olaf knows that wine contains a small amount of alcohol, which can be used as clean water for disinfection.

After Heine fetched a small crock of about two gallons of wine, Olaf asked Hoskurd to light a bonfire, sealed the wine and boiled in the fire, then took it out to let it cool, and then gave it to Hadar. The wound of the injured person was cleaned and then bandaged again.

   Then the group returned to the camp with the wounded number and the corpses of three black bears. The men, women, and children in the camp came to visit, and many of them had expressions of concern and concern.

   Hadar endured the severe pain, pretending to calm everyone up as if nothing had happened, and then lay on the bed to rest under the service of Katrin.

   The three black bears were given to the carpenter's family who died tragically. The carpenter's wife and two sons also received most of the land that was first reclaimed. This is the compensation that Hadar gave to the deceased.

   Olaf also spoke with his playmate Yi Luji, trying to calm his emotions.

But Yiluki didn't mean to blame Olaf and his son except for his grief. This made Olaf breathe in his heart. At the same time, he also remembered that human life was still very fragile when he had just passed through the Middle Ages and entered the era of great seafaring. The so-called human rights, etc. It hasn't appeared yet.

   For most ordinary people, there are preparations for premature death, death from illness, death from injury and other accidents.

The carpenter died in the mouth of the black bear, and Hadar was also seriously injured. For the Yiluki family, they felt that Hadar gave a lot of compassion as the leader. They just continued to live strong and still I was touched by Hadar's care.

After Hadar was injured, he began to recuperate indoors. Many things in the camp were handled by Yött, Hoskurd, and Kadir. However, since the people in the camp are basically from the village of Harut, they really speak strongly. It's still Yot.

  As the people of Hadar explored south, they encountered black bears and were injured, so the exploration process in Hadar camp has been temporarily suspended, but continued to reclaim the land to build a good foundation for the breeding industry.

   Wenlan is rich in products. There are many kinds of fish in the river, and the number is huge. The vegetation is also very rich, enough to feed everyone in the camp.

  Before the first batch of food is received next year, the Hadar camp will gather everyone together for division of work.

Although Hadar recovered from the injury, Yot still talked to Hadar every day. After ensuring daily food, Yot divided the work between men and women in the camp. Some specialize in fishing, while others collect vines to make ropes, etc. Tools, and people quarried stone and wood, and then Hadar camp began a period of hoarding all kinds of materials and dried fish every day.

   This is not only to cope with the coming winter, but also to prepare for the expansion of the camp.

   With the passage of time, the Hadar camp is also being perfected day by day with the joint efforts of more than 100 people. The houses are becoming more and more solid.

   Olaf keeps himself in the house every day. Except for occasionally visiting his father Hadar, the rest of the time is writing about the management methods of the camp, focusing on the medical and health aspects.

   The pinnacle of European civilization was ancient Rome and ancient Greece. At that time, urban sanitation was ahead of France in the 17th century.

  The black plague is very convenient in Europe because of poor sanitation, feces and garbage pile up in mountains, which can be seen everywhere in the living area, and then pollute rivers, well water, groundwater, etc., so that Europeans adopt the method of preventing the epidemic without taking a bath.

  The hygiene habits of Icelanders are not good, but because there are few people and large land, **** does not cause much trouble.

But now more than a hundred people from Herut Village and others have come to Wenlan, and they live together to build their homes. The garbage generated by 30 or 40 households is also thrown away. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com for the time being It hasn't caused much pollution to the camp, but Olaf has realized the disadvantages of this hygiene habit.

   is not only the problem of polluting the air that breeds bacteria and mosquitoes, but also the excrement contains germs. If it is not handled, a little carelessness is the source of infectious diseases and plagues.

   Now the weather is getting cooler gradually, so the harmful effects of pollution are not obvious, but there will be a large number of insects in the spring and summer of next year, which will cause great hidden dangers to the production and life of campers.

Olaf is going to use the unwritten relationship of dignity and inferiority that has now been established to allow his father Hadar to persuade leaders such as Yote, and then everyone will deal with various problems in the camp life management in advance, restraint, and manage each household well. Personal hygiene is conducive to the development of the camp.

  Thom, Sollac, and others who came to Olaf to play with could not pay attention to Olaf’s deep meaning, but as a Scottish nobleman, Heine's keen political consciousness instantly made him realize that what Olaf was writing was a treasure.

It seems to be about improving the living standard of the camp and restricting personal hygiene. In fact, it is to strengthen the rights of Hadar and others. If you directly ask people to obey the order for a long time, they will feel conflicted, but through the benefit of the collective, it is good for hitting. The starting point of interest requires that everyone will gladly accept it.

   Olaf clearly wants to clarify the leadership position of Hadar and others through the introduction of the camp management regulations, so that no matter how the camp develops and expands in the future, people who are used to it will continue to obey Hadar's orders.

Heine looked at Olaf’s sky-blue eyes, and he felt that he was a teenager, but his mental means may no longer be inferior to the court bureaucracy. Perhaps Olaf is really the reincarnation of the ancestor Herut that Hadar said. , Otherwise, how can you know how to manage people's minds without a teacher?
