Their fathers washed their bodies with hot water, stripping off all their dirty clothes. Although Da Ben and the others didn't understand why these things were being done, they knew not to ask what they shouldn't.
After they were cleaned, the pot of clear water had turned murky, and Wen Te poured it out.
Next, Shu Xin began to administer acupuncture. When the large, silver needles gleamed, the three fathers were terrified. "Are you going to pierce them with these?"
Shu Xin explained, "This is acupuncture treatment. Without herbs, we can only use acupuncture."
As the long silver needles were inserted into the children, the three fathers flinched, feeling the pain for their children. They were afraid of the long needles, let alone the children being needled.
Leite and his brother were also surprised to see it for the first time. Leite finally understood how silver needles were used!
The child who was most seriously ill showed no reaction, as he had fainted.
The remaining two children's eyes were filled with fear. Shu Yue gently comforted them, "Good boys, don't be afraid. It won't hurt, and you'll be all better soon~"
Their beautiful faces and gentle voices captured the attention of the two children. They were young beastmen, and as they watched, they forgot about the pain.
Shu Xin was a highly professional person, but not a doctor skilled at coaxing children. At this moment, Shu Yue acted as her assistant.
She not only had to soothe the children's emotions but also explain things to the patients' families.
"You don't need to be afraid. This is a method of treatment. Please be patient and wait."
The three fathers nervously looked from their children to the speaking females, only then realizing that these two beautiful females bore some resemblance.
They had only arrived at the tribe yesterday and were not aware of their relationship. They didn't want to ask too many questions at this time, so they could only stare intently at their children. As soon as their gaze shifted to the two females, they were met with fierce glares from the two dragon beasts. They dared not provoke them…
Shu Xin had thirty-six large silver needles and seventy-two small silver needles, more than enough to use without rotation.
After all three children were needled, Shu Xin glanced at her watch.
The others' curious eyes darted towards the watch. Leite thought that the watch made the female's wrist look particularly beautiful when worn.
Shu Yue also glanced at the expensive watch, and her lips twitched involuntarily. Setting aside everything else, they were both transmigrators, and she had all the equipment, while she had nothing. If this were to be written as a novel, her sister would undoubtedly be the main character!
When she took it out in the morning, Shu Yue had been surprised. Then her sister said the watch had gotten wet when she first arrived, so she took it off…
So, did it fall into the river like hers?
Speaking of which, she hadn't carefully examined her sister's black backpack. Could it possibly contain a handgun?
While she was making wild guesses, Shu Xin frowned and raised her voice, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Ah? What?" Shu Yue snapped back to attention, looking bewildered.
Shu Xin was silent for two seconds, then sighed silently and repeated, "Listen carefully. I'll explain it to you again."
"Oh, okay. Go ahead," Shu Yue said, adopting an air of serious listening.
Shu Xin pointed to an acupoint, stating its name and function in a calm, unhurried voice. However, everyone except Shu Yue couldn't understand what she was saying.
This was because they were speaking Chinese.
Leite and Wen Te remained calm, while Da Ben and the other two exchanged bewildered glances, thinking, "These two females are so amazing!"
After about twenty minutes, Shu Xin removed the needles and said to the three fathers who were standing blankly, "I suggest you stay here overnight. Your bodies need rest after acupuncture. You should make some meat congee for the children tonight, and I will administer acupuncture again tomorrow."
The three fathers acknowledged this. Da Ben's mate had died, but the other two beastmen's mates were still alive. They said they would go back and inform their mates and would stay here to watch over the children tonight.
Da Ben looked at his child, whose breathing had gradually stabilized, and his eyes turned red with emotion. He repeatedly thanked Shu Xin gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you so much! When Little Stone is better, I will definitely repay you!"
Shu Xin didn't know what to say, merely nodding slightly. "The child is hungry. You should prepare food for him."
"Oh, okay, I'll go now!" Da Ben was about to move when he suddenly stopped, looking back at his child who was struggling slightly.
Shu Yue noticed his predicament and asked, "Where is the child's mother? You can have his mother take care of him while you go find food."
Before Da Ben could answer, a tribesman next to him said, "Da Ben's mate died, so he…"
Shu Yue looked at the child sympathetically, thinking, "Poor child."
Wen Te asked at this moment, "Do you have any meat?"
Hearing this, the three beastmen stiffened. They had been hungry for several days on their journey to the Warrior Tribe. The food the chief had given them yesterday was not enough to fill them up. The tribesmen who went hunting today had not returned yet, so how could they possibly have food?
Seeing their predicament, Wen Te patted one of them on the shoulder. "Wait here, I'll go get some meat for the children. As for you… figure it out yourselves."
When Da Ben and the other two heard this, they were so moved they almost cried. "Thank you! Thank you!" They were already grateful to have food for the children!
Wen Te shook his head and said to Shu Yue, "Yue Yue, let's go back first."
"Okay." Shu Yue couldn't bear to stay any longer, looking at the pitiful children.
Leite also escorted Shu Xin back.
Wen Te, being faster, arrived at the cave a dozen seconds before Leite. He asked her, "Yue Yue, I'm sending them some meat, you don't mind, do you?"
Shu Yue shook her head, her eyes still filled with lingering heartache. "No, the children are too thin. They are very pitiful."
As someone who was about to become a mother, she couldn't bear to see such a scene.
Wen Te smiled silently, knowing his Yue Yue wouldn't object. There was a large piece of meat in the cave. He cut off a piece weighing about three catties and wrapped some salt in leaves before sending it to them.
In the evening, the hunting party returned dejectedly, clearly having hunted little. The meat distributed to the tribesmen today was not even enough for one meal.
The beastmen of the former Warrior Tribe couldn't get enough to eat, let alone the newly joined ones, most of whom couldn't even fill their stomachs.
If others saw the four dishes and one soup on their table, they would probably come to snatch it…
Unfortunately, the courtyard provided cover, so no one could see.
…
At night, Shu Yue lay in Wen Te's arms, drawing circles on his chest with her index finger, whispering, "Darling, I'm a bit bothered. This rain just won't stop!"
Wen Te stroked her hair to comfort her. "Soon, the rainy season will be over in half a month."
"Clothes won't dry, and there's water everywhere," she continued to grumble.
The beastman listened silently, knowing that Yue Yue didn't need him to answer anything; he just needed to listen to her.
"Sigh, by the way, what do you think about the witch doctor matter?"
When the witch doctor was mentioned, Wen Te's hand playing with the female's finger paused, and his brow visibly furrowed. "Uncle already knows about this. He will handle it."
