Chapter 534 - 533, Helping Out_1
Ji Nuan repeated the danger of contracting worm diseases from the consumption of raw meat and blood, which greatly surprised Meng Luo.
Their ancestors had lived like this for generations; orcs and females who contracted worm diseases would inevitably die. There was no solution, yet nobody had ever contemplated why they fell ill.
Finally having addressed the last tribal matter, Chief Meng Zhuo approached, attracted by the scent of the roasted meat: "Dinner time is approaching. Today, let’s gather on the field to welcome the arrival of Shaman Ji Nuan."
Ji Nuan, however, shook her head: "We’ve just suffered a huge catastrophe. When I arrived, I noticed that the conditions in the Monte Tribe were dire – many tribespeople have been injured. I should stay and treat them with Meng Luo. We can celebrate once everyone is healed."
Meng Zhuo, Meng Tai, and Meng Luo all fell silent...
The state of the tribe was indeed poor; they hadn’t anticipated that Ji Nuan would notice.
Meng Zhuo sighed: "The calamity came too quickly. We weren’t prepared at all. Many tribespeople died, and a lot of orcs were injured..."
Ji Nuan smiled: "As long as none of the injuries is fatal, I think we should be fine. Time is life for the orcs. We should go and check on them first."
Accompanying Chief Meng Zhuo, they moved towards the tent where the injured orcs resided. Ji Nuan was taken aback by the sight: "So many orcs got injured?"
Meng Zhuo nodded: "During the disaster, everyone ran towards the caves, only to find out too late that the caves were the most dangerous places. The orcs transformed into beasts and shielded the females, youngsters, and the old from the collapsing rocks, enabling them to escape. But the orcs suffered severe injuries."
With so many injured orcs, Ji Nuan didn’t rest; she immediately started treating the orcs along with the clan doctor. They divided their tasks, with Ji Nuan mainly treating orcs with bone injuries, while the clan doctor treated the rest.
Both healers worked tirelessly until the night descended. The only sounds left in the forest were the orcs’ breaths and the chirping of insects.
Checking the deep night outside, Ji Nuan rolled her sore neck: "Whew~ This is my first time treating so many orcs. It’s tiring."
The clan doctor approached and laughed: "It’s a good thing you came, Ji Nuan. Otherwise, I would have been overwhelmed alone, and this would have delayed the orcs’ injuries.
Let’s go. We have treated those with severe injuries. We can continue treating the rest tomorrow. Otherwise, if we collapse, these orcs will be left without any healers."
Ji Nuan was indeed very tired. The several days of continuous travel, and the tense moments just moments ago, had exhausted her physically and mentally.
Upon returning to the tent provided by Chief Meng Zhuo, knowing Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan were partners, the Chief had prepared two tents. After cleaning up, Ji Nuan flopped onto the thick Beast Skin mat and instantly fell asleep, even emitting a slight snore.
Xiu Yan helped her take off her Beast Skin clothes. After cleaning up himself, he also lay down and fell asleep.
Ya Li, holding the little Milk Bun, slept in the tent next door. Seeing that his tent was less than half the size of Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan’s, he made a face.
The Monte Tribe at night was pleasantly cool. The slightly cold night wind passed through every corner of the Tribe, taking away the day’s heat.
