Chapter 28 Because of Me!
"Don't cry, Mo Ye'er. This blood isn't all the leader's. There's also that big tiger's." Seeing Mo Ye'er crying, Ba Jin hurriedly consoled her. But Mo Ye'er couldn't hold back her tears and didn't listen to their words. She cried while treating Chu Yan's wounds.
Kasai rushed over, holding a handful of herbs in his mouth. He glanced at Chu Yan's wound and was about to put the herbs in his mouth. Usually, they would chew the herbs first before applying them to the wound.
"Wait." Mo Yi'er hastily called out to stop him. Although she was very scared and worried, but not completely frightened to the point of being unable to do anything. It seemed that this method of cauterization was absolutely not allowed. That would allow bacteria to infect the wound.
Kasaton froze in his tracks, still clutching the herbs in his hand. Everyone's eyes turned to Moyi'er in an instant. The leader was their pillar of support; absolutely nothing could happen to him. Now all hopes rested on Moyi'er.
They unconditionally believed in Mo Yi'er at this moment, even Kasa was the same, not letting him chew on herbs if he didn't want to, completely following Mo Yi'er's arrangements.
"Xī fěn nī. Kàn kàn sāng zhēn de shuǐ shāo hǎo le méi. Zài ná xiē gān jìng de cán xiān jīn lái."
Translation: "Silk powder, take a look if Sangzhen's water is boiling yet. Bring some more clean silk handkerchiefs over."
"Yes." Xīnfǎnnī put away her previous careless personality, stuffed Xiao Hei into the python's embrace, and also started to busy herself.
Hot water and silk towels were quickly brought over. Mo Yier ordered them to decoct the medicinal herbs of the coffee plant into a medicinal soup, then burn it with dry grass and wood into ash. She herself used the scalded silk towel to clean Chu Yan's wound first. After cleaning the wound, she used the ash to stop the bleeding. This was a clumsy method, but at this time, no one knew the specific use of the medicinal herbs, so they could only do it this way.
Fortunately, the ash of grass and wood is indeed effective in stopping bleeding. Chu Yan's wound has stopped bleeding. Mo Yier let out a sigh of relief. She used a silk scarf to bandage his wound and cleaned up the bloodstains on other parts of his body. Fortunately, not all of it was his blood; otherwise, he would have lost too much blood and died.
Chu Yan was now completely asleep. No matter how much Mo Yi'er messed with him, he didn't react at all. If it weren't for his chest rising and falling, Mo Yi'er would have thought he was dead.
Not long after, the herbal medicine was also ready. When Mo Yier fed Chu Yan, she found that his forehead had signs of fever. Oh no, if he has a fever, it's over. In this era, even a fever can be fatal. Mo Yier couldn't help but turn pale with shock. After feeding him the medicine again, she hastily made sugar water with crystal sugar to feed Chu Yan. She stayed by his side, wiping away his sweat and cooling him down, hoping that he wouldn't have any mishaps.
The villagers were quietly watching from the side. Sometimes, women would silently hand over things to Mo Yi'er. No one made a sound. Dinner was not even prepared. It could be seen that everyone was very worried about Chu Yan.
Mo Ye's watch hand pointed to the wee hours of the morning, and Chu Yan finally calmed down. The temperature on his forehead had also returned to normal. Mo Ye let out a sigh of relief once again, her body relaxing after being tense for so long. She slumped beside Chu Yan, not even wanting to move an inch. "Mo Ye, have some water."
Sang Zhen carefully placed a wooden cup of water on the ground. Mo Yi'er didn't even have the strength to lift her arm anymore. Sang Zhen fed it to her, and gave her a warm smile: "Mo Yi'er, you're working so hard, the leader will definitely be fine."
"Yes, it's okay." Mo Yi'er also showed a tired smile. Fortunately, the wound is not deep. It just scratched the skin and didn't hurt the internal organs. This is fortunate. Now Mo Yi'er realized that everyone was tense. Although Sang Zhen comforted herself, she was also nervous. "Everyone doesn't have to worry anymore. Chu Huo will be fine."
"That's great. That's great. I knew it would be fine with Mo Yi'er around."
"Yes, we have Mo Yu'er here and the gods are watching over us." Even Kasuo said so. Although he had brought some herbs earlier, he really didn't have any confidence. Many years ago, there was a tribesman who died from injuries like this. When he saw Chu Huo covered in blood, he was really scared. Having lived to Kasuo's age and experienced many things, it's hard for him to be afraid of anything anymore. What he can't let go of is the tribe. Fortunately, there's Chu Huo, a good leader. So what he fears most is losing their leader within the tribe itself.
"Alright. Everyone must be hungry. Let's go prepare dinner." Mo Yier rubbed her empty stomach. It's time to eat, huh?
"I'm back. This damned tiger is to blame." Ba Jin angrily picked up the stone knife to deal with the tiger meat. Today, they only caught this one tiger and even let Chu Yan get injured. Everyone hated this tiger very much.
"Huh? I've hunted tigers before too. The leader always guarantees everyone's safety. How did you get hurt this time?" Silfanie's brain and mouth were both quick, asking what was on her mind.
In an instant, the men of the hunting party all shut their mouths and stopped speaking.
"What's going on?" Mo Yier sensed that something was off.
"It's nothing. Hehe. Just an accident." Zhang Bao glared at Si Fen Ni, signaling him not to say such things again.
Silkina wasn't the kind of person who understood subtle hints. When she saw Master Tuo staring at her, she immediately became unhappy and started shouting: "What are you staring at me for? What did I do wrong again? Blah blah blah..." Silkina was really good at picking fights, it was like she had a shrewish aura about her. In the past, before she gave birth to her child, she wouldn't have dared to behave this way. But after getting pregnant, her man spoiled her rotten, and with Mo Yu'er as a capable woman backing her up, women these days were quite formidable. They no longer cowered in front of men like they used to.
Such a silly Fan Ni made Craftsman Bo want to knock her out with a stick. He hastily gave her a signal with his eyes, but how could these things escape Mo Yi Er's eyes? "What's going on? You guys are hiding something from me."
"No, how could that be? Hehe." The people here are just not good at lying. When they lie, their whole body shows inconsistent movements. For example, their hands don't know where to put them and keep grasping the fluff on their animal skin clothes.
"Cough, cough. I don't want to get angry, so just say it. Why did you get hurt?" Mo Yier asked. But in her heart, she had already guessed some things. Seeing the men all murmuring and unwilling to speak up, she said: "It can't be because of me, right?"
"How did you know?" Ba Jin, who was straightforward and simple-minded, heard Mo Yuer's words while processing the tiger meat on the side, and asked in surprise.
"Hehe, okay, now it's your turn, Ba Jin."
"Alright, alright. I'll say it." Ba Jin sighed and thought to himself that indeed nothing could be hidden from Mo Yier. "The leader is worried about Mo Yier going to the Luoshui tribe on her own. He can't even focus during hunting trips, which is why he got injured by the tiger."
"As expected..." Mo Yier lowered her head. Was she being too willful? But she really did think that way. Chu Yan didn't need to be so worried either.
