Chapter 1849: We Can’t Be Outshined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
Tang Bao quickly reached out to help the old chief up and said, "Chief, there is no need to do this. You are all Sulamo's people. We can come here because of Sulamo's guidance. If the chief encounters any difficulties, we will do our best to help."
In fact, even if the old patriarch didn't say what was going on, Tang Bao had already roughly guessed it.
The children she had just seen outside the temple had much milder symptoms of barkosis.
Moreover, apart from the old patriarch, there were actually few elderly people outside the hall.
Tang Bao doesn't think that the old people in the tribe are all living out their lives in tree holes.
The only reason is that people here have a very short lifespan.
In this era, if all the members of a tribe suffer from a certain disease, their lifespan will be shortened and they will easily disappear in the long river of history.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, the old patriarch showed an excited expression on his bark-mottled face.
"Thanks to Sulamo... Thank you to the Saint... Thank you to the Saint..." The old patriarch murmured, "My White Elephant people are saved..."
After saying this, he turned around and knelt down again in front of the stone statue of Suramo.
Everyone waited until the old patriarch calmed down before following him out of the temple.
Under the huge sacred tree, everyone sat on the ground.
Soon, he understood the whole story from the old patriarch's words.
Things turned out to be pretty much as Tang Bao had guessed. The White Elephant people were indeed facing the danger of genocide.
It is said that about a hundred years ago, the people in the tribe suffered from a strange disease.
As we age, our skin begins to itch and develop bark-like patches.
Moreover, the mortality rate increases significantly due to high fever and ulceration.
Initially, the symptoms only appear when people reach a certain age.
However, the age of onset gradually became younger and younger, and the life expectancy of the tribe members became shorter and shorter.
Nowadays, newborn babies have bark-like patches on their bodies.
The average life expectancy of people in the tribe is less than 30 years old.
Although the old patriarch looks like an octogenarian, he is only in his thirties.
"It turns out that the clan leader is about the same age as my father, but he looks older than my grandfather." Er Pan sighed in a low voice, his face full of sympathy.
Everyone looked at the old patriarch with expressions of pity.
"Let me check the patriarch's pulse first." Tang Bao said calmly.
After saying that, he took out the pulse pillow and motioned the old patriarch to put his wrist on it.
The old patriarch: “…”
stupid.
What does it mean to take the pulse?
Jing Man quickly explained, "Put your hand here, the Saint will take your pulse and treat your illness..."
As he spoke, he placed the old patriarch's wrist on the pulse pillow.
The old patriarch: “…”
Oh, so this is how seeing a doctor works.
Please forgive his ignorance, the witch doctor in the tribe never takes the pulse when treating patients.
If the old patriarch did not have great respect for Shi Liu and Tang Bao, he really would not have accepted this external way of treating illness.
Tang Bao carefully took the old patriarch's pulse, and asked the old patriarch to gather tribesmen of different age groups and took the pulse of each of them separately.
Then, after thinking for a while, he pricked the fingertips of the old patriarch and a little boy with a silver needle and squeezed out a few drops of blood to check.
"Okay, let's let everyone go first." Tang Bao said.
The old patriarch quickly signaled the surrounding tribesmen to retreat.
"How is it? Is there any solution?" Shi Liu asked in a low voice, "Isn't this some kind of genetic disease with no cure?"
Tang Bao shook her head.
"no."
However, his expression was somewhat solemn.
Pomegranate breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
As long as it is not a genetic disease, Sister Fuya can definitely be cured.
She is so confident!
"I will make some ointment to relieve their symptoms later, but to cure it completely, we have to find the cause," said Tang Bao.
After saying that, he looked up at the giant tree above his head with a thoughtful expression.
"Okay, we're not in a hurry to leave anyway, so you can slowly find the cause of the disease." Shi Liu was very optimistic.
After Shi Liu finished speaking, he stood up and walked away, then took a deep breath.
It suffocated her!
If it weren't for her duties as the high priestess of Southern Xinjiang and a saint in the eyes of the White Elephant people, she would have almost lost her persona and would have stayed away from everyone else.
By the way, Xia Siya and others had already hidden far away after the old patriarch summoned the tribesmen to come for a consultation.
There was no way. The smell coming from those people gathered together was really unbearable.
"It's hard for sister Fuya." Xia Siya looked back at Tang Bao and said with heartache.
Princess Linghua said admiringly, "So many people came over just now that I almost fainted, but Su Tang remained calm."
After saying this, he paused, a look of emotion appearing on his face.
He added, "Now I believe why Sulamo chose her to be the Saint. Su Tang is a kind-hearted doctor, kind and capable. She can save the suffering people from dire straits. This is truly not something that ordinary people can do."
"Of course, there is only one sister Fuya in this world!" Xia Siya's expression turned into pride.
"Hmph! You claim yourselves to be the Saint's good sisters, but when something happens you just stay away, leaving her alone to suffer the consequences!" Princess Zimo glanced at the two of them with disdain on her face, and started her daily bickering with them.
Xia Siya: “…”
Princess Linghua: "..."
The two of them looked at Pomegranate together.
"You even call yourself Fuya's sister!" the two people said in unison.
Pomegranate:"……"
Princess Zimo: "..."
"...You, don't misinterpret my meaning! I didn't say the high priest, I was talking about you two!" Princess Zimo said with a red face.
After saying that, he looked at Shi Liu again and explained haltingly, "High Priest, I, I'm not... I didn't..."
Seeing this, Xia Siya and Princess Linghua looked at each other and smiled secretly.
Shi Liu glared at the two of them first, then said to Princess Zimo, "Alright, I know you didn't mean that, but you saw it..."
Shi Liu used her chin to signal Princess Zimo to look at Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin not far away.
Then, she continued, "Look! None of us good sisters are as kind to your Saint as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is. In this situation, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is steadfastly accompanying the Saint. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has eyes for the Saint and would never want you. You'd better put away those little thoughts."
As the high priestess of Southern Xinjiang, she didn't want to interfere too much in this matter before Tang Bao came to her senses.
However, if Tang Bao fell in love with Xuanyuan Jin, she would definitely send Princess Zimo far away.
Of course, if Xuanyuan Jin betrayed Tang Bao, she wouldn't mind turning the two of them into ashes together.
Following Shi Liu's words, everyone looked at Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin under the giant tree.
Xuanyuan Jin stood upright and firmly beside Tang Bao like a benchmark, never moving a step from beginning to end.
Da Pan: "...I'm sorry, little aunt."
Er Pan: "...I embarrassed my aunt."
Young Scholar: "...We can't be outdone by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Erpan and gritted their teeth.
"Yes, we must accompany our aunt!"
After saying that, he put his hands on Da Pan and Xiao Xiucai's shoulders, and the three brothers strode towards Tang Bao.
It’s just being smoked, they can bear it!
Even if all the people in the tribe were gathered together, as long as the little aunt didn't leave, they would stay with her unwaveringly!
Xia Siya and Princess Linghua exchanged a glance and said hurriedly, "And us!"
After saying that, he gave Princess Zimo a provocative look and followed.
Pomegranate:"……"
Looking at the people who were walking towards Tang Bao as if they were brave enough to sacrifice themselves, he fell into deep thought.
Why did she come over just now?
Why can't you bear it a little longer?
However, before Da Pan and the others could reach Tang Bao, Xuanyuan Jin reached out and grabbed Tang Bao's waist, then jumped onto the giant tree.
