LSLFBW: Chapter 103 Part 2

Many people no longer had the energy to speak. They could only shed tears silently as they watched the situation.

Lang Ze closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and turned to a young beastman. “Ji, why did you stop Diao Lan from treating you?”

The young beastman called Ji was about the same age as Lang Ze and he still had a hint of childishness on his face. “We can’t trust them.”

Lang Ze said, “This is our future tribe. We must trust our people.”

Lang Ji said in disbelief, “Have you forgotten about Silver Moon?”

Lang Ze shook his head. “I will never forget Silver Moon. As long as our people are still alive on the Beastman Continent, I will never stop looking for them.”

Lang Ji seemed to have something to say. Then he glanced at Qi Bai warily and fell silent.

Lang Ze stared at Lang Ji. “Don’t refuse the treatment of your tribe members, and don’t refuse the food. Stay alive. It is only by staying alive that there is hope for Silver Moon.”

Lang Ji closed his eyes. He knew that Lang Ze was right. Since they were children, Lang Ze had always been right. His resistance was only because he didn’t believe they really met Lang Ze again.

QI Bai opened the tent and let Diao Lan enter.

This time, Lang Ze was present, and everything went smoothly. Diao Lan gestured to Qi Bai to touch a little girl beside her. Qi Bai reached out a hand and felt that his palm was burning hot.

Diao Lan said, “Several people have a fever. I can’t cure this type of disease.”

Qi Bai thought for a moment before saying to Diao Lan, “We don’t need to keep the herbs we brought. Use whatever you can. Lang Ze and I will go to the Giant Deer Tribe to take a look.”

Qi Bai remembered seeing a lot of plants on the stall of the Giant Deer Tribe last night. For a large tribe like theirs, the things they put on display shouldn’t be useless weeds.

Of course, it didn’t matter if they weren’t herbs. After all, they were a tribe in the Northern Wilderness. They might know where to find beastmen who could cure diseases.

However, when Qi Bai trotted to the stall of the Giant Deer Tribe, he received an eye roll from Lu Ming.

Qi Bai asked, “What happened?”

Lu Ming picked leaves from the table and had no intention of paying any attention to Qi Bai. Instead, Xiong Nuan, who came to visit, spoke up. But his tone was also indifferent and completely lacked the enthusiasm from yesterday. “We just saw that the Rough Wood Tribe sent you many two-legged sheep.”

Qi Bai hurriedly nodded. “Yes, that’s exactly why I came to you.”

Lu Ming threw away the grass leaves. “You aren’t welcome here.”

Qi Bai told them, “I know there are conflicts between you and the Rough Wood Tribe, but we need slaves. We have no other choice.”

Lu Ming said angrily, “Yan said we aren’t allowed to play with tribes that eat two-legged sheep. You should leave now.”

Qi Bai was stunned for a moment. Then he shook his head. “I brought these orcs not to eat them as two-legged sheep, but to save them. They need herbs and a doctor. I want to ask where I can get them.”

Xiong Nuan repeated. “Doctor?”

Qi Bai explained, “They are sick, and we need someone who can cure them.”

Lu Ming looked at Qi Bai suspiciously. “Really?”

Qi Bai nodded. “Of course, it is true. It doesn’t matter how much salt is used as long as they can be cured.”

Now it was Lu Ming and Xiong Nuan’s turn to be surprised. They might not be barbarians who ate two-legged sheep, but they could never do what Qi Bai said he was doing for slaves.

Lu Ming thought for a moment. “Wait a minute. I’ll go and call my brother.”

Xiong Nuan smiled. “Ming’s brother, Teng, is a student of the priest. You don’t have to worry with him around.”

Lu Teng ground the herbs into a paste, asked Diao Lan to pry open the patient’s jaw, and forced the medicine inside along with water.

This heroic treatment method was almost the same as Yang Luo’s. No matter how many times Qi Bai saw it, he couldn’t help having deep thoughts.

Seeing that Lu Teng had started to pack up, Qi Bai stopped him and asked, “Aren’t you going to treat these wounds?”

Several people here with a fever had large rotten wounds on their bodies. This was obviously a high fever due to inflammation. If the rotten flesh wasn’t treated, they might continue to worsen.

However, Lu Teng didn’t treat these wounds and even used the least amount of medicine for them.

Lu Teng looked gently and spoke slowly and calmly, “For such a smelly wound, applying herbs will do no good.”

This almost meant there was no hope, and it wasn’t worth wasting the herbs.

It was impossible for Qi Bai to ignore them. These were the tribe members Lang Ze had found with great difficulty. He didn’t want to lose any of them.

“If we dig out the rotten flesh and expose fresh flesh and blood, will the herbs be useful?”

Lu Teng’s hands that were packing his things paused.

The Giant Deer Tribe was the most proficient in medicine in the Northern Wilderness. Not only the priests and their students, but everyone in the tribe knew how to use herbs more or less.

However, no one thought of the method that Qi Bai mentioned.

Lu Teng pondered Qi Bai’s words carefully. The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. He said to Qi Bai seriously, “You can try it.”

“Yes.”

Lang Ze looked at his struggling tribe members, eyes filled with anger and grief.

The beastman, whose mouth was blocked by animal skin, was soaked in sweat, and the veins on his neck bulged. It took four or five people to hold down his body.

Lu Teng took the bone knife that had been sterilized over the fire and calmly cut away the rotten flesh.

Even though this was Lu Teng’s first surgical operation in his life, his hands were steady, and the bone knife obeyed his will, not cutting too deep.

Lu Teng whispered, “Medicine paste.”

Lu Ming, who was standing by, immediately applied herbs on the wound that was bleeding. Then Diao Lan quickly bandaged the wound with animal skin.

Diao Lan had already mastered the process of boiling the animal skins in water and dried them over a fire when she was in the tribe. She had prepared the materials early on.

Lu Teng found several types of herbs and asked the patients who had undergone surgery to swallow them.

Looking at the still red faces of these patients, Lu Teng asked, “Can I come to see them again?”

Qi Bai sighed with relief. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “Of course. Not only can you come, but we will also pay you the corresponding compensation every time you come.”

After learning this new treatment method, Lu Teng no longer wanted to ask for payment. “Just calculate the amount of herbs used. I came here alone and don’t need payment.”

Qi Bai didn’t think so. He took out an animal skin bag and gave the salt to Lu Teng in front of the members of the Silver Moon Tribe in the tent. “You saved our people. You deserve this reward.”

By the time the group left the tent again, the setting sun filled the sky, magnificent and gorgeous.

Ma Ling had already set up two tents with his people. A fire was lit in one of the tents, and the broth was ready. Niu Xi and Quan Nan were walking back and forth with large bamboo tubes, trying their best to ensure that everyone had a full meal.

Lu Ming asked, “Are we still going to pick the wood flowers?”

Qi Bai smiled and said, “Of course, we have to go. It is a good opportunity to relax. But before we go, let’s eat something. There is meat soup in the tent at the back. Call Nuan, and let’s drink some together.”

Lu Ming seemed to know no fatigue and immediately became energetic. “Then I’ll go call him.”

Lang Ze, who had just walked out of the tent, said, “I’ll go with you.”

Qi Bai shook his head. “You stay in the camp to take care of the tribe members. I will call Xiong Fen,g and we will be back soon.”

“Oh, right.” Qi Bai ran forward a few steps. He grabbed Lang Ze’s hand and exposed his palm. Sure enough, he saw a bloodstain on it.

Qi Bai applied the medicinal paste he specially asked Lu Teng for on Lang Ze’s palm and said with a smile, “Everyone will be fine, but you have to be even better.”

Lang Ze looked at Qi Bai’s tuft of hair that was sticking up and hummed softly.
