nCain carried Su Tang before he hurried over to Meng Ze’s cave.
nHe explained with a straight face, “It’s faster if I take you!”
nSu Tang curled up in Cain’s arms obediently with her face blushing crimson!
nShe kept telling herself that he was only trying to save his tribesmen and not to overthink it!
n…
nIn two breaths, they arrived at Meng Ze’s cave.
nYuanyuan was instantly delighted to see them as she wiped Meng Ze’s body!
n“Tangtang, take a look at Meng Ze. I have been wiping him nonstop, but he still feels warm!”
nCain put Su Tang down unhurriedly.
n“Cain, can you wash the herbs quickly?”
nAfter Cain left with the herbs, Su Tang examined Meng Ze.
nHis situation was the same, and he was suffering a fever due to an infection.
nShe was unable to find any anti-inflammation herbs in the forest, but it was a top priority to lower the fever, so she hurried back first.
nSu Tang saw the worried look in Yuanyuan’s eyes, who did not want to disturb her, and smiled as she consoled her.
n“It’s fine! Let’s lower his temperature first. I promise Meng Ze will be fine, okay?”
nYuanyuan nodded hard. “Okay. Tangtang, I trust you!”
nHowever, tears trickled down her face as she spoke!
nMeng Ze raised his hand weakly and wiped the tears on Yuanyuan’s face. “Don’t cry. I’m fine!”
nYuanyuan cried even harder!
n“Meng Ze, I’m so scared! Don’t die! I promise to be good from now on!”
nMeng Ze gritted his teeth and raised his hand to pat Yuanyuan’s head. “Didn’t you promise to be good? Then stop crying. The moment you cry, my wounds hurt!”
nSu Tang felt like crying too. She inhaled deeply and said, “Don’t cry, Yuanyuan. If your tears fall onto the wound, it will worsen his condition!”
nYuanyuan instantly stopped crying.
n“Okay! I won’t cry! I’ll stop crying!”
nSu Tang sighed as she stood up and poured all the chestnuts from her pockets before handing the white robe to Yuanyuan.
n“Yuanyuan, can you wash this? We are going to use it to bandage Meng Ze’s wounds later!”
nYuanyuan was stunned and felt hesitant.
n“But this belongs to you…”
nSu Tang waved her hand nonchalantly. “It’s fine. Go on. If we don’t have clean bandages for his wounds, he won’t be able to recover.”
nYuanyuan sniffled and said, “Okay! Don’t worry, Tangtang! After Meng Ze recovers, I will get him to hunt a few firefoxes so that you can have the fur!”
nSu Tang sweetly smiled as she said, “Okay! Go on! After you wash it, dry it next to some fire. We can only use it when it’s dry!”
nAfter Yuanyuan left, only Su Tang and Meng Ze remained in the cave.
n“S-Su Tang, are you a healer?”
nSu Tang nodded. “Uh-huh. Kind of. I learned medicine, but you are my first patient!”
nMeng Ze lay with his head tilted. His face was unusually red due to his fever.
n“We don’t have a healer in the tribe. Although I don’t know how you ended up here, our tribe will treat you well. Can you stay?”
nSu Tang understood Meng Ze’s concerns even though she was new in town.
nShe nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I’m lost, so I can’t go back to my tribe. I will probably stay here from now on!”
nMeng Ze seemed to detect Su Tang’s sadness, so he consoled her gently, “Our tribesmen are very kind, so don’t worry!”
