However, the male orcs were there specifically to protect the females, so Lin Xue didn't let them get involved. Instead, she had them continue to observe the environment along the way.
Along the way, in addition to the possibility of encountering wandering orcs, there are also some wild beasts lurking among them.
They ran very fast in their Shadow Beast forms, and the beasts couldn't catch them.
However, they are now traveling back in human form, which makes their journey much slower than when they came.
The male beastmen must be constantly vigilant about their surroundings, and if any wild animals approach, they must be driven away in advance.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. A few wild beasts that ran up to them were dealt with by Chun and her group, and they brought them back to the tribe for dinner that night.
After returning to the tribe, Liya returned Lin Xue's belongings to her cave. Lin Xue offered to give her half, but Liya refused.
"Xue, Ya said she'd distribute food to me, so you can keep these for yourself!"
Those who participate in the gathering team are allocated a certain amount of quota.
Of what they collected today, they will take out some that are not easy to preserve and distribute them.
Of course, they would have to wait until the hunting party returned to sort out all the game.
In addition to the communal meals, all members of the tribe who participated in the labor could also receive some extra food, which they could save themselves.
This is also why the tribe members like to go out and work; as long as they go out to work, they can get a share of the spoils.
On the contrary, the elderly, children, the sick, the disabled and the weak who stayed in the tribe received almost nothing except for the communal meals provided by the tribe.
Back in the tribe, Lin Xue stayed in her cave.
She had already told Ya that the kudzu roots she brought back should be placed in a cool, dry cave.
She won't go out to collect tomorrow; instead, she'll lead the tribe members to make kudzu root powder.
After the hunting team returned that evening, Ya went straight to Lin Xue's place.
"Amu, I'm back!"
Ya's expression wasn't good; it seemed something had happened. Lin Xue immediately noticed her adopted eldest son's unusual behavior.
"Son, what happened today?"
She guessed that someone in the hunting party might have been injured, otherwise Ya wouldn't have had that expression.
"It was Tree. He was injured by a bear while protecting his tribesmen during the hunt!"
When Lin Xue asked, Ya didn't hide anything and told her directly about the tree being injured.
Is it serious?
Lin Xue stopped what she was doing and looked at the cliff.
"My chest was scratched, and I bled a lot. You could vaguely see the bone!"
Ya blinked bitterly twice, then struggled to lift her head.
They were all members of the same tribe, and Ya didn't want anything to happen to his people, but his tribe didn't have a shaman, so if they got hurt, they had to bear it on their own.
Aside from providing more food for their injured tribespeople, there was nothing else they could do.
"Go and carry the tree to the cave next door, I'll take a look at it!"
Upon hearing that the wound was deep enough to expose bone, Lin Xue knew that this was a serious matter.
Fortunately, back in the previous world, she knew she lacked practical experience in medicine, so she specifically sought out an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to study for a period of time. Presumably, treating such a wound shouldn't be a problem for her.
Moreover, she has a lot of medicinal herbs in her space, so if all else fails, she can only use those stored herbs to treat the tree.
In a life-or-death situation, Lin Xue could no longer hide her true feelings.
"Amu, are you a witch?"
Ya wanted to ask this question yesterday, but unfortunately he couldn't bring himself to say it.
From the moment Lin Xue said that the herb called ginseng could save lives, Ya began to suspect that her mother was a mysterious witch.
"Silly child, I am not a witch!"
Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, Ya's face visibly fell.
The nascent hope was instantly extinguished.
"However, I know everything the shamans do, and I also know things they don't! So, if we're being serious, I should be considered a wise man!"
Lin Xue whispered something in Ya's ear, which immediately excited Ya, who had begun to feel dejected.
"slim Shady!"
A glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xue, wanting to confirm whether what she said was true.
"You can't tell anyone else about this. I'm only telling you because you're the chief of our Green Mountain tribe. If other tribes find out who I am, you know the consequences!"
In the ancient orc continent, there were wise men. Whenever a wise man appeared on the orc continent, he would be fiercely fought over by various forces.
A tribe with a wise leader will be respected by other tribes, and no one will dare to offend the wise leader easily.
“I understand now, Mother. No wonder Father said you were amazing! But no matter how much I pressed him, he wouldn’t tell me just how amazing you were!”
"Now I realize that Amu is actually such a powerful being!"
"Presumably, only Father knew Mother's identity before! Is Mother's usual capriciousness and tantrums because she wants to hide her identity?"
Lin Xue didn't need to say anything; Ya had already found enough reasons for her.
“If the people of the tribe ask, you can tell them that my father was a shaman, so I also know some witchcraft!”
Lin Xue gave Ya a few instructions and then told him to hurry up and bring the tree over.
It was impossible to put it in my own cave, but there happened to be a cave next door used for storing miscellaneous items, which could be used to temporarily house the tree.
After Ya left, Lin Xue found some useful hemostatic drugs and tools in her space.
She put all these things in a small wooden box next to her, which Lin Xue made when she was bored.
Surprisingly, it doesn't feel out of place at all to use it at this time!
"Amu, the tree has been brought!"
Ya placed the tree in the cave next door before coming over to call Lin Xue.
"Light the campfire in the cave next door, fetch two buckets of water from the wooden bucket in my cave, and prepare a clean stone pot to boil water!"
After Lin Xue finished instructing Ya to do his work, she had already prepared a stone pot of hot water in her cave.
After she finished her work, she carried a small bucket of hot water and a first-aid kit toward the tree.
She had already refilled the stone pot with water; the hot water had to be kept boiling, as she might need it again later.
When Lin Xue arrived, there were two females guarding the tree, one older and one younger.
It looks like it's Tree's mother and his wife.
"Snow, you must save Tree! If he dies, how will Grass Sprout and I live?"
As soon as Lin Xue entered, Tree's mother came to her, grabbed her arm, and began to cry.
"Grass Sprout, take your mother and go outside first. I need to treat the tree's wounds. Your presence here will only disturb my work!"
Although neither of them wanted to leave, since Lin Xue had said so, they dared not stay in the cave any longer.
Instead, he went outside the cave and kept peering into it.
