The first batch of meat brought back by the orcs during the autumn hunt was finally pickled before it went bad, thanks to the subsequent increase in manpower.
On the day when all the meat was pickled, Ruya lay down on the ground. "I don't want to see meat these days. Before, when I saw meat, I thought about eating it, but now when I see meat, I think about pickling it."
"Ha, the second batch of fish from the autumn hunt will be back almost tomorrow, and we'll have to continue pickling them. Are you afraid?" Meng Yuqing said with a smile as he squatted beside him.
"No, how could I be afraid of pickled meat?" Ruya retorted, and then showed a sad expression.
"Then do you want to go smoke meat? They're short of people over there." Meng Yuqing pulled him up. "Collecting firewood, skewering meat, and smoking meat all require people. Which one do you want to do?"
"I'll go smoke the meat," Ru Yashen said mysteriously. "I heard Shushu say that smoked meat is especially fragrant. If you hadn't told them that it can be kept for a long time, they would have been tempted to try it."
"Can you bear it? If you can't, I won't let you go, and you can continue to pickle the meat." Meng Yuqing looked at him with his arms folded.
"I promise I can bear it." Ruya replied immediately.
"Witch!" Two orcs ran towards Meng Yuqing in a hurry.
Meng Yuqing, who was about to go home, stopped and pinched the bridge of his nose. Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing with a strange expression. Why did this scene seem so familiar?
"What's up?"
"A little beast in the tribe has a fever!" They ran over and said anxiously.
!!!
"One of you takes me back to get the medicine and then takes me to him, and the other one goes directly over there and asks them to boil some hot water. Hurry!" Meng Yuqing immediately retracted those messy thoughts and arranged what needed to be done.
"Hey, okay!" One of the orcs immediately turned into an orc and lay down in front of him, and the other orc also quickly turned into a beast form and ran in another direction.
The orc took Meng Yuqing and rushed to the outside of his nearby private plantation.
"Wait here for me, I'll be there soon." He slid down the orc's forelimbs and ran straight to the place where yellow and white flowers were planted as soon as he landed.
Without a second thought, he plucked two yellow and white flowers, casually stuffed them into the hide, and returned to the orc's back.
"Take me over there." He climbed onto the other person's back nimbly.
The orc didn't say anything more and ran straight to the home of the little beast with a fever.
When they arrived, quite a few people had already come here and blocked the door of Xiao Yashou's house tightly.
Seeing Meng Yuqing appear, they all made way for her in an instant like Moses parting the sea.
"Witch, please save him." An orc squatting by the door said with red eyes after seeing Meng Yuqing.
"Well, I'll go in and take a look first." After saying that, he lifted the animal skin curtain and walked in.
The room was a little dark, and Qiu Yedai and another sub-beast were boiling water.
There was another sub-beast sitting on the bed, holding a little sub-beast who looked about three years old.
The little sub-mon was curled up in his arms and crying quietly, its voice not much louder than that of a kitten.
"Qiuye, put the yellow and white flowers in boiling water. When the water turns yellow, let it warm and then give it to him to drink. Thank you for your help." Meng Yuqing took the yellow and white flowers out of the animal skin, handed it to Qiuye, and then walked towards the sub-beast holding the child.
Yashou held the child in his arms, touching the child's forehead from time to time, and was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Seeing Meng Yuqing coming over, she immediately looked at him with hope in her eyes.
"Let me see." Meng Yuqing took the child from his hands and felt as if she was holding a stove.
Children's body temperature is slightly higher than that of adults, but this little sub-beast's body temperature is no longer that of a normal child.
"System, check his character status."
"Fever, 38.5°, pay attention to physical cooling and medication to reduce the fever." The system didn't waste any words and directly read out the little beast's body temperature.
"Well, keep observing his condition and tell me in time." After instructing the system, Meng Yuqing began to recall how to physically cool down the child.
He remembered his mother once talking to him about which child in his class had a fever and how they dealt with it.
He carefully recalled every word his mother said.
"Bring two clean hides and a basin of warm water."
Meng Yuqing put the little beast on the bed and took off all his clothes.
After hearing his order, the people in the house immediately took action. The father of the little beast even cut off two pieces of the best animal skin in the house.
Others immediately brought warm water and placed it beside the bed.
Meng Yuqing tested the water temperature and threw the animal skin into the water. "Use the animal skin to wipe his neck, armpits, and thighs with warm water."
As he spoke, he demonstrated how to wipe it.
"Scrub quickly and multiple times, paying attention to the force so as not to hurt the skin."
He recalled what his mother had said and repeated it word for word.
After hearing this, the little beast's father also helped him wipe it.
After a while, Qiu Ye came running over with yellow and white flower water.
"The medicine has turned yellow and the temperature is about right."
Meng Yuqing took the medicine and felt its temperature. "System, this medicine is fine, right?"
"Alright, the host can give it to him directly. His body temperature has dropped by 0.1°."
"Help him up and take his medicine."
He made way and let the little beast's father help the little beast up, while he himself held the cup and fed it carefully.
Fortunately, the little beast was still conscious and knew that Meng Yuqing was feeding it medicine. It was trying hard to swallow the medicine and did not cry or refuse to take it.
After seeing that he had drunk the medicine obediently, Meng Yuqing patted his back. After making sure that he had swallowed the medicine, he took the animal skin next to him and put it under his back.
"Keep rubbing, don't stop, lower his body temperature as soon as possible, especially his armpits and thighs." After putting the cup aside, Meng Yuqing picked up the animal skin to test the water temperature.
The entire rescue process lasted nearly an hour, during which several basins of warm water were changed. Everyone inside and outside the room felt like every second was a year.
Especially the father of the little sub-beast outside the house, he had been squatting at the door with his hands covering his head, his movements had not changed.
Meng Yuqing was also very nervous and kept asking the system about the little beast's physical condition.
It wasn't until the system announced that the little beast's body temperature had dropped to 36.9° that Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"You two should take turns watching him tonight and keep an eye on his temperature. His temperature is now normal for a child.
Now that the weather is getting colder, you should be careful not to let him catch a cold, but don't cover him too much. Let him get a good sleep and drink more warm water. Don't eat barbecue for the next two days. Eat some boiled meat, drink more soup and eat more vegetables. His gastrointestinal function may be a little weak after the fever has just subsided.
If there is any situation, please inform me immediately. If the fever does not recur, you will be back to normal in two days." Meng Yuqing carefully reminded them of the precautions.
