After receiving the medicine, Ali excitedly handed it to the wizard beside him: "Wizard, this is a divine medicine bestowed upon us by the goddess. Please give it to Ashan quickly."
The wizard was an older female with wrinkles on her face. As she watched Ali conjure a strange container out of thin air, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "That's amazing!"
Seeing that she was fiddling with the bottle and didn't know how to open it, Xia Qingqing quickly told Ali how to open the lid, and Ali then relayed it to the wizard.
After the wizard poured the potion down Ashan's throat, the bleeding from Ashan's wound stopped within minutes, and the wound began to show signs of healing.
The wizard touched Ah Shan's forehead, his eyes lighting up with delight: "Great! Ah Shan's fever has subsided. He's saved!"
Upon hearing this, the beastmen who had been guarding Ashan in the cave cheered in unison: "Great! Ashan won't die!"
Ali was so excited that he knelt down with a thud, and Xia Qingqing knelt down as well: "Thank you, Goddess."
Seeing this, the others quickly knelt down as well, shouting, "Thank you, Goddess! Thank you, Goddess!"
"Get up quickly, Ali, tell them to get up too," Xia Qingqing said, looking very embarrassed.
Where did these orcs get their habit of kneeling so easily come from?
God knows, she had explained to Ali several times already that she wasn't a goddess, but the primitive beastmen were quite stubborn.
Even after Xia Qingqing and the system assistant explained to Ali what the system was all about, he still stubbornly believed that Xia Qingqing was the goddess who had given them the spark of life.
Not to mention that Xia Qingqing has now saved Ashan, and the entire Fierce Tiger Tribe now holds Xia Qingqing in the highest esteem.
At this moment, Ah Shan, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and asked for water.
Immediately, an orc rushed out to fetch water and quickly returned with a wooden bowl, feeding the water to Ah Shan.
That bowl, though called a bowl, was actually just a thick piece of wood with a hole carved out.
Xia Qingqing stared curiously at their simple bowl, then suddenly remembered something: "Ali, did you boil the water you were drinking?"
She suddenly thought that people in primitive societies probably wouldn't drink boiled water, but raw water might contain harmful bacteria or parasites, and drinking it directly could easily lead to infection or gastroenteritis.
Ali shook his head in confusion: "No, what does 'boil' mean? The water we drink is taken directly from the river."
Just as Xia Qingqing had expected, she tried to make her explanation as simple as possible: "Boiling means putting water in a container, then putting it on the fire. After the water boils, it will become clean, and you can drink it after it cools down," Xia Qingqing continued.
"Especially for those who are not physically strong, drinking river water directly can easily lead to illness."
After listening to Xia Qingqing's words, Ali suddenly seemed to understand something and asked urgently, "So, the cubs and females in the tribe often have stomach aches because they drink river water directly?"
Xia Qingqing nodded: "It's very possible, but not all stomach aches are caused by drinking river water."
"If possible, it would be better for you to develop the habit of drinking boiled water in the future. You adult orcs may not be in any major problems, but the cubs and females should not continue to drink raw water."
Ali didn't really understand what Xia Qingqing was saying, but since the goddess said to drink boiled water, they obediently went and drank it.
Suddenly, Ali thought of another question: "Goddess, how do we boil this water? If we put the wooden bowl directly on the fire, it will catch fire."
Xia Qingqing thought for a moment, then took out two large iron pots from her system inventory and teleported them to Ali.
This iron pot was also prepared by Gu Yunshu at Xia Qingqing's request. In the 1970s, to get an iron pot, you not only needed money, but also industrial coupons. Xia Qingqing did this to prevent Gu Yunshu from not having the tools to cook for her if she ever wanted to.
In the apocalypse, almost no one cooks, and there are unwanted pots everywhere. Gu Yunshu gave Xia Qingqing seven or eight of them. If Xia Qingqing hadn't said she had enough, she would have continued to look for more.
Ali received the iron pot from Xia Qingqing and looked at the big, dark thing with some curiosity: "Goddess, what is this thing you gave me for?"
Xia Qingqing explained it to Ali and taught him how to use it, making Ali's eyes widen as he listened.
"This can also be used to make meat soup or wild vegetable soup. When the cold season comes to your area, the cubs and females will feel much more comfortable drinking some hot soup."
Ali nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Goddess. You have helped our tribe so much. I really don't know how to repay you."
Seeing Ali's helpless expression, Xia Qingqing smiled mischievously: "I really liked the wild boar, wild ox, and wild sheep you gave me before. If you want to repay me, you can give me a few more."
Xia Qingqing didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Ali for payment, since she had indeed given him a lot of help and even provided such valuable healing medicine.
On the one hand, Xia Qingqing didn't want Ali to develop the habit of only asking for help but not knowing how to give back. On the other hand, Xia Qingqing herself was also poor and needed to be helped.
Sure enough, when Ali heard Xia Qingqing's words, he was not unhappy at all, but relaxed a bit more and grinned, "No problem, I'll go and help the Goddess Hunter in a bit."
After the two hung up the video call, the surrounding orcs suddenly swarmed and surrounded Ali:
"Ali, you're amazing! You can actually talk to the goddess and ask her for medicine."
"That's right, Ali is the most powerful orc in our Tiger Tribe besides the chief."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Even the chief of the Fierce Tiger Tribe nodded in agreement, secretly regarding Ali as a candidate for the next chief.
He believed that Ali was the lucky one chosen by the goddess, and with the goddess's help, their Tiger Tribe would surely become the most powerful tribe on this continent.
Ali blushed a little from everyone's praise: "I'm not as amazing as you all say, it's the goddess who's more amazing."
“By the way, the goddess gave me these two containers and told us to boil water for them so that the cubs and females wouldn’t always have stomach aches,” Ali said, taking out the two iron pots to show everyone.
The beastmen surrounded the iron pot with curiosity, cautiously reaching out to touch it, only to find that it was very hard and rough to the touch.
Then, Ali earnestly recounted all the knowledge Xia Qingqing had taught him to the tribespeople.
Everyone excitedly set up a fire, placed the iron pot on it, and filled it with water.
Even the cubs and females curiously gathered around.
A chubby little baby stared at the steaming, bubbling water in the pot, its face filled with fear: "Is this water really drinkable? It looks so scary."
