Chapter 580 - 579, Who?_1
When they learned that the captured orcs from the two tribes were not dead, everyone sighed in relief.
Ji Nuan was about to go find an orc to fetch some clean boiled water when a young orc came in, carrying two basins of hot water. When he saw Ji Nuan’s surprised look, he grinned and grinned, flashing a set of white teeth. "I heard that the Shaman wanted to treat Chief Bear, so I fetched some hot water. They always keep a large pot of it on the stove at the Clan Leader’s house."
Ji Nuan smiled and nodded, "You’re getting more and more attentive."
At the praise from Ji Nuan, that young orc was ecstatic. He proficiently assisted Ji Nuan in soaking the treatment equipment in the hot water, and diligently ground the anti-inflammatory herbs into powder and poured them into clean porcelain bowls for standby.
Ji Nuan applied Sharp Tooth Grass Powder on Chief Bear’s leg, and the pain went away instantly. Chief Bear immediately sighed with relief, "Finally, I don’t have to bear that pain."
Ji Nuan looked at him, "You really can tolerate pain. It hurts a lot when wounds fester and become inflamed."
Chief Bear simply grinned, not saying a word.
From the porcelain basin, he took out a knife that had been soaked, cut away the inflamed flesh again, and squeezed out a lot of pus and blood. The cleaned wound looked even more serious.
Ji Nuan sighed in relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "Done, it’s all cleaned up."
Taking the porcelain bottle handed over by Yao, she first spread some Divine Wood Tree Powder over the wound, followed by the anti-inflammatory medicine powder.
She instructed Chief Bear, "After caring for this wound, be careful not to get it wet. Orcs have strong healing powers, this wound will probably heal in about two days."
She pointed at Yao who was standing beside her: "Yao has learned a lot from being with me. I’ll have him go to your tent and change your dressings twice a day. But if you want to heal faster, you need to avoid strenuous activities and not tear open the wound again. Understand?"
Upon hearing that he could recover in two days, Chief Bear was instantly excited. He promised, "For faster recovery, I will stay put in my tent."
Ji Nuan turned to Chief Ge Xing, "Uncle Xiu Li, Ya Li and Fu Yi are not safe over there. Brother Xiu Yan and I will leave in a short while, and strive to rescue the orcs from the two tribes tonight. You can continue behaving as usual in the tribe, just don’t let Bertel realise anything unusual. That would be enough."
Ge Xing patted his chest, "Don’t worry, as long as you two return safely, we will be reassured."
Ji Nuan then went to see Shaman Ama, Ge Ye, Qi Mo, and Little Pipi, following which she visited Uncle Xiu Li’s house with Xiu Yan to reassure the elders. Only then did they head for a more secluded spot from where Xiu Yan carried Ji Nuan and flew out.
This time, the two little dumplings were left behind at Grandma Shaman’s house, sleeping soundly on the bed, snoring loudly.
Passing the Purple Fruit Forest again, there were more orcs from the Gru Tribe. These orcs started getting busy in their temporary settlement, with some hunting and others patrolling. They even saw Bertel, the familiar figure.
Ji Nuan looked at the hateful orc with disgust, muttering, "What an annoying beast."
Just as she finished speaking, Bertel, who had stepped out of his tent, quickly turned his head in their direction, looking over sharply, "Who’s there!"
