Si Yan felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She closed her eyes, suppressing all the bitterness in her heart, and said, "Dong Chi, Mother will set your bones. Do you agree?"
Dong Chi immediately looked up at her, his eyes filled with mockery and distrust: "You wicked female, I'm warning you, don't even think about touching me! Whether I live or die is none of your business!"
Si Yan stared at him.
Xi Qing asked calmly, "What is bone setting?"
Si Yan slowly said, "Bone setting involves breaking your bones and resetting them, just like your leg bones."
Dong Chi's eyelids trembled. "Don't even think about touching me..."
It hurts, it hurts all the time.
As expected, the wicked female didn't want to help him; she wanted to torture him, make him suffer more, and make him wish he were dead!
I hate it so much. Why is he my own mother? I hate it so much!
Si Yan continued, "Mother doesn't want your arm to stay damaged forever. Your hand bones can't be crooked."
Dong Chi is the leader of four villainous cubs. How many people will laugh at a male snake-beastman with a crooked arm?!
"Your mother is setting your bones. If you hate your mother, you can use this hand to hit her in the future, okay?"
Dong Chi bit his lower lip and said weakly, "Why are you asking me? If you want to do something, you should just do it yourself!"
Looking at this boy who harbored such hatred for her, Si Yan thought he probably really wanted to kill her. After all, in the original story, the original owner of this body was killed by the eldest son, Dong Chi.
Si Yan pursed her lips and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Even knowing that Dong Chi might actually kill her in the future, she still wanted to heal him properly at this moment.
They shook hands, and when they opened them, their hands were already brimming with green wood-based supernatural power.
She gave Dongchi a bundle of hay to bite down on, and her hands, filled with wood-type supernatural abilities, gripped both ends of his twisted arm. "Dongchi, stop dreaming. Let me tell you, you can never kill me in this lifetime. No matter how much you hate me, you can't kill me!"
"You wicked female!" Dong Chi shouted, but suddenly felt a sharp pain. He was covered in sweat and clenched his teeth into the dry grass.
Si Yan used her own strength to break Dong Chi's bones again.
"Ah!!!" Dong Chi was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, the time was not long, only 15 days. The bone that had grown back was fragile, so the fracture was made perfectly.
Si Yan immediately applied medicine to Dong Chi's arm and then used a wooden splint to fix his hand bones.
This time, Dong Chi was in so much pain that his face turned deathly pale. Si Yan stayed by his side, wiping away his sweat.
Bei Ji asked worriedly, "Mother, how is my eldest brother?"
Si Yan said worriedly, "I don't know if I'll get a fever tonight." She turned to Bei Ji and said, "As long as you don't get a fever, you'll be fine."
Si Yan stood up with a cold face. She processed the hay she had gathered that morning outside and then spread it in the corner of the cave.
"Third and fourth sons," Si Yan said to Xi Qing and Bei Ji, "We're out of animal hides at home. The eldest and second eldest need to sleep in a bed tonight, so you two will have to sleep here."
Xi Qing and Bei Ji didn't seem to care. After observing Dong Chi for a while, Bei Ji asked, "Mother, is there anything else I can help with?"
Si Yan nodded and said, "I'll help Mother boil some water."
Si Yan cooked sweet potato soup, which Xi Qing and Bei Ji ate. Si Yan then fed Nan Mo some, and then fed Dong Chi little by little.
Even after finishing the sweet potato soup, Dong Chi was still sweating profusely. Si Yan used warm water to wipe his entire body repeatedly to keep him dry.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji fell asleep on the hay, while Dong Chi and Nan Mo were also covered with some hay. Si Yan lay down by the bed, resting her head when she got tired, and then got up to wipe Dong Chi's sweat and check his temperature.
The night finally passed, and fortunately, the orcs were in good health, so Dong Chi did not develop a high fever.
After the danger period had passed, Si Yan was so exhausted that she found a place to fall asleep immediately.
When Si Yan woke up, she smelled a sweet aroma. She sat up and saw Bei Ji roasting sweet potatoes and making sweet potato soup, just like she had made before.
When Bei Ji saw Si Yan looking at him with a blank expression, the little boy smiled adorably and ladled a bowl of sweet potato soup for Si Yan: "Mommy, eat."
Si Yan took the sweet potato soup, smiled slightly at Bei Ji, and, feeling parched, drank it down in one gulp.
"What time is it now?" Si Yan asked.
Bei Ji said, "It's afternoon."
Si Yan quickly got up and saw Nan Mo lying on the straw mat with his eyes open, looking at her. She also saw Dong Chi lying there, fast asleep.
Si Yan finally had time to stop and take a good look at her two little ones.
The original body really was...
How could you bear to sell such a cute baby?!
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Nan Mo turned his back to her. Si Yan asked him, "Nan Mo, are you feeling better?"
Nan Mo seemed startled, and he immediately slipped behind a large rock in the cave to hide.
Seeing the children's resistance, Si Yan was still somewhat downcast.
The original owner of this body sold two children, and in the children's eyes, all their misfortunes were caused by her. She couldn't blame them.
Si Yan wiped Dong Chi's sweat again, checked his forehead temperature, and got up after confirming that he was alright.
After Si Yan left, Dong Chi slowly opened his empty eyes. He bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes.
Inside the village chief's cabin in Yanxiang Village, the village chief, the witch doctor, and Tyson were together.
The shadows of the trees around the village chief's house swayed, and a black wolf beastman with a scar on his face knelt down on one knee, his voice serious and urgent: "Village chief, something terrible has happened! The sacred fire in the village has gone out."
The village chief was startled and quickly stepped forward: "Tae-dong, what did you say?!"
Tai Dong lowered his head, the tall male trembling slightly: "Village Chief, the sacred fire... has gone out."
The village chief staggered back two steps, and the witch doctor Meiwen supported him.
The village chief muttered to himself, "The sacred flame has gone out, our village is doomed..."
In the beast world, fire is a majestic and sacred existence.
Long ago, the former village chief of the Rock Village carefully brought back the sacred fire from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and learned some methods of using fire. Since then, the method of controlling fire in the Rock Village has been known only to the village chief and passed down from generation to generation.
In the Yanxiang tribe, apart from the village chief, no other beastman can control fire. Even the village chief can only occasionally borrow fire from the sacred fire, and he is very careful and fearful of it.
In the hearts of the Yanxiang tribe, the sacred flame represents an undying spirit and is essential for survival.
The village chief murmured to Meiwen and Tyson, "When I borrowed the sacred fire from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the high priest of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts prophesied that the sacred fire of the Rock Village tribe would ensure the tribe's continued existence, and if the Rock Village tribe's sacred fire were to be extinguished and not rekindled within a day, the tribe would face destruction."
The village chief seemed to age many years in an instant, his face trembling slightly: "But our tribe doesn't have any orcs who know how to start a fire..."
