Chapter 1161 - 1160: Wash Hands
He seemed a bit anxious. Would Shaman Ji Nuan refuse to treat the two injured orcs?
Harry glanced at him calmly and said, "Shaman Ji Nuan went to fetch the herbs."
Just as his words fell, Ji Nuan emerged from the tent holding a small beast skin pouch, while Xiu Yan handed her two knot-tree gourds.
Harry knew that the gourds contained water that Shaman Ji Nuan had boiled with the Fire Seed.
Ji Nuan sprinkled a white powder into the two knot-tree gourds, shook them evenly, and placed them to the side.
At this moment, Xiu Yan had already poured the hot water, which had been heating over the fire, into a porcelain basin. Ji Nuan cleaned her hands in the steaming water and turned to Harry. "You should clean your hands as well."
Harry didn’t say anything but obediently started washing his hands.
Only then did Ji Nuan hand him one of the knot-tree gourds, along with a clean cotton cloth.
Ji Nuan crouched down beside one of the injured orcs, pouring the medicinal water from the gourd over the wounds to rinse them while explaining to Harry, "This water was boiled with the Fire Seed, so the impurities are gone. I added a powder that prevents the wounds from festering. After rinsing, we’ll bandage them to prevent fever or necrosis later."
Harry was momentarily stunned by her explanation, then mimicked Ji Nuan’s actions in treating the wounds of the second injured orc. When the medicinal water was poured onto the orc’s wound, it seemed to sting—the unconscious orc would tremble slightly each time the wound was rinsed.
After the rinsing, the dirt around both orcs’ wounds had been thoroughly cleaned away.
Upon seeing this, Xiu Yan opened the small beast skin pouch Ji Nuan had just brought out and retrieved an exquisitely crafted little bottle.
Ji Nuan opened the bottle, tilted it above the wounds, and gently shook it. A pale yellow powder slowly fell out, covering the orc’s injuries.
At first, the powder was soaked by the blood seeping from the wounds. But by the third application, the orc’s wounds had stopped bleeding entirely.
Ji Nuan methodically treated several of the orcs’ wounds in the same manner. Finally, she handed the porcelain bottle to Harry. "This orc is done. You can handle the other one."
Harry hadn’t expected Ji Nuan to entrust him with such a precious medicine. After a momentary pause, he nodded solemnly and applied the powder to the other orc’s injuries.
Once both orcs’ wounds were treated, Ji Nuan turned to the middle-aged orc, who now wore a thankful expression. "Their wounds haven’t completely stopped bleeding yet, so they shouldn’t be moved. Does your tribe have beast skins? Build a tent for them. By tomorrow, their wounds should scab over, and they can be taken back to the cave to recover."
Having witnessed Ji Nuan’s miraculous medicine, the middle-aged orc and the others beside him gazed at her with even greater reverence, their looks brimming with gratitude.
"Thank you, Shaman Ji Nuan and Shaman Harry, for saving our tribesmen. Thank you both."
The middle-aged orc led the others in bowing deeply to show their gratitude to Ji Nuan and Harry.
"I’ll go back now to gather beast skins, but our tribesmen haven’t built tents before. Could the clansmen of both shamans help us out?"
Saying this, he held up two Firebirds carried by his tribesmen from behind. "This is food for the two shamans. It isn’t much, but we’ll go hunting again tomorrow."
