"Ye Wu, can you think about this again? Is there something inconspicuous that you overlooked and missed?"
While Manghu and Xiong Ga were talking, Li Qing secretly slipped over to Ye Wu's side and asked.
"You are from the Red Flower Tribe?"
Ye Wu stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Li Qing.
He didn't immediately send Li Qing away, but said seriously, "I can confirm that apart from trading, they have never had any contact with other tribes."
Li Qing shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant."
"So, what do you mean?"
At this moment, Xiong Ga also came over and asked Li Qing, "Do you know anything?"
Li Qing shook his head again and said sincerely, "I don't know yet, but I can be sure that their condition is not caused by other tribes deliberately causing trouble. The problem lies in the food they ate on their journey to and from the village!"
“I’ve already talked to Manghu about the food,” Xiong Ga said patiently, repeating himself. “If there’s something wrong with the food they’re eating, then our tribe wouldn’t have waited until now for this to happen.”
“I understand, but, Chief, there are many foods that cannot be eaten together. Moreover, many foods that you can eat a few bites of occasionally are fine, but eating too much can easily lead to poisoning, or even worse, death the next day!”
The next sentence startled the two of them. Mang Hu, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, waved his hands repeatedly after hearing Li Qing's horrifying words, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! They will definitely be saved!"
"Wild Tiger".
Ye Wu glanced at Mang Hu and asked Li Qing, "Where did you learn all this?"
“It was a man from our tribe named Cang who told me this. He was the previous shaman and was very knowledgeable about herbs.”
“Cang… I seem to have some recollection of this name. Is the current shaman of your tribe called Jie Wu?” Ye Wu asked.
"Yes."
"Hmm... I remember now."
Li Qing continued, "So, could you tell me exactly what they ate on their way back and forth? Maybe the problem really is here!"
Xiong Ga: "Li Qing, I know you mean well, but this is really impossible. Leave this to Ye Wu and me. I've seen Chu and Da Hei's injuries; they're very serious. Here's what we'll do: you go back and take care of them first. I'll also ask others to give you some food; maybe that will help alleviate your pain."
Relieving the pain... Chu's injuries are not something that can be solved by simply relieving the pain. Given Chu's personality, if it were just pain, he would never be unable to take even a single step. At this point, what Chu and the unconscious Dahei need is immediate treatment, not something like "relieving" the pain. Just thinking about Chu makes Li Qing feel extremely sad. He tells himself that this time, no matter what, he cannot let Chu and Dahei disappear from his side again!
“Chief, if you trust me, please let Ye Wu speak to me,” Li Qing said firmly, clenching his fists.
Xiong Ga looked intently at Li Qing. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Wu spoke first: "Okay, I can tell you."
He smiled wryly at Xiong Ga and said, "Anyway, we don't have any other options right now. Why don't we talk to Li Qing? Maybe he knows something."
Then Ye Wu spoke up: "However, what I really want to ask is, compared to the affairs of our tribe, you should have more important things to do right now, so why are you so concerned about the affairs of our tribe?"
Li Qing remained silent.
The shaman, who possessed the ability to read the warriors' memories, suddenly smiled and said to Li Qing, "I understand."
Li Qing: "..."
Xiong Ga: "What's wrong, Ye Wu? Could it be that he..."
Ye Wu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, he has no bad intentions. He can't hide that from me."
Xiong Ga scratched his head: "I had forgotten about your abilities."
Ye Wu smiled at Mang Hu beside him and said, "You have a good eye. This kid is alright, much better than most of the warriors in the tribes outside."
Manghu looked down at his footprints with embarrassment.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” Ye Wu said gently. “I haven’t seen people from other tribes in a long time. It’s quite nice to have someone from another tribe come in occasionally.”
At this point, Ye Wu's expression turned slightly serious. He turned to Li Qing and said earnestly, "I can agree to your request."
Li Qing looked up, somewhat puzzled and incredulous.
Ye Wu: "Don't worry, I can make the decision for Xiong Ga in this matter, and if it were Xiong Ga, he would definitely agree to your request."
Xiong Ga asked curiously, "Ye Wu, what's he planning?"
Ye Wu smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll have to ask him about that, but he probably won't tell you right now."
"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you can help us," Ye Wu said, his smile fading from his earlier joke. "I've heard of Cang's medical skills, so I hope that you, a warrior of the Red Flower Tribe, will not disappoint me."
Li Qing nodded slowly.
He was still somewhat shocked. That thought had only flashed through his mind for a moment, yet Ye Wu had managed to capture it. This showed that Ye Wu had used his abilities very well.
Ye Wu's words gave Li Qing hope, but also put him under pressure.
Just as Ye Wu had vaguely mentioned, the only way Li Qing could think of to save Chu and Da Hei was to gain the trust of the Qingye tribe by doing something for them and earning their approval. He would then ask the chief and the shaman if they could give him the two herbs, which were the only ones he had.
As for how to do it, the only option at present is to use our modern knowledge to see if we can help the Qingye tribe get out of the "poisoning" predicament.
Primitive people generally had shorter lifespans. This was partly due to excessive secretion of male hormones in their bodies, and partly due to their indiscriminate eating and drinking. Some of these foods were indeed all-natural, pollution-free, and very nutritious, but primitive people did not understand the principles of balanced nutrition. They would eat whatever tasted good and was edible without any regard for the consequences.
As a result, many primitive people were very likely to eat two completely incompatible foods without realizing it. Perhaps in the near future or for a long time to come, their robust physiques would prevent them from being affected, but this effect would eventually come to them as they grew older.
The situation in the Qingye tribe is probably similar, only the illness came on faster.
