The big man was in charge of the food in the Qingye tribe. He was a real rough man, but he still knew the most basic ability to read people. When he saw that Li Qing's expression was unfriendly and that he was speaking to Xiong Ga and Ye Wu in a language he couldn't understand, and that Xiong Ga and Ye Wu's expressions changed drastically after hearing it, he knew that what he had done was a big mistake!
Li Qing said solemnly, "Their current condition, to put it mildly, is a stroke of good luck. Under normal circumstances, if they had eaten that much, some people with weaker constitutions would have been corpses long ago."
Xiong Ga was filled with regret: "What should we do now? Are they beyond saving?"
"There's hope."
Li Qingdao.
"Really?"
There is hope.
Li Qing nodded in affirmation.
“However…” Li Qing asked, “we need a kind of fruit, and then we can give it to them.”
"Don't worry, that fruit thrives in warm, humid climates and loves sunshine, but it hates the cold. There must be plenty of these fruits around your tribe; if you look carefully, you'll definitely find them," Li Qing added. "Their symptoms can be cured simply by letting them have a good bout of diarrhea. And the fruit I just mentioned is a kind of warming laxative, which has the effect of warming the intestines, purging stagnation, and relieving bloating..."
Li Qing sighed and smiled bitterly at the burly man who was looking at him with fear, "Don't look at me like that. After all, you've never eaten much of that fruit, so it's normal that you don't know that eating too much of it can be fatal. Consider this incident as a lesson for you."
"I...I..."
Mang Hu quickly asked, "He just asked what that fruit is and why eating too much of it has such terrible consequences."
Li Qing: "Its scientific name is Ginkgo, but we usually prefer to call it white fruit. It is nutritious and tastes delicious, but its fruit also contains potent toxins. Eating a few in moderation can be very beneficial to improving our strength, but eating too many can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, convulsions, and mental confusion."
Li Qing pointed to several patients with more obvious symptoms and said to Mang Hu, "That's why many of them are coughing. It's because they feel nauseous and have abdominal distension, so they instinctively try to induce vomiting. Mang Hu, quickly find some other people and start pressing on their abdomens to make them vomit as much as possible. Some of them may even vomit blood, but don't worry, that's normal. Just keep making them vomit unless they are really too weak to continue."
After saying this, Li Qing walked out of the tribe, and Mang Hu, after hearing this, also shouted to the big man, and the two of them ran together towards the other warriors who were patrolling the tribe.
"Li Qing!"
"I can't breathe," Xiong Ga said in a trembling voice.
"where are you going?"
Clearly, after Li Qing's "science popularization" just now, Xiong Ga really regarded Li Qing as a miracle doctor. When he saw Li Qing turn around and leave, he thought that Li Qing was unwilling to help and was going back, so he couldn't help but call out anxiously.
Li Qing turned around.
"..."
Just as Xiong Ga was organizing his thoughts, Ye Wu suddenly laughed and said, "Hurry up and follow us, our chieftain!"
"?"
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Qing smiled and said, "I'm going to find that fruit that can help your tribe's warriors recover. You're the tribe's chief, so you should stay in the tribe and keep them company."
"No!" Xiong Ga suddenly said stubbornly, like a child, "I want to go with you. They are all people of my tribe. As the chief of the tribe, how can I stay in the tribe and ignore everything at a time like this?"
Li Qing scratched his head. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xiong Ga, but he felt a little awkward having the chief come with him. It was like he was going to see a movie or go shopping by himself, and his boss suddenly called and said he wanted to come with him... Li Qing made up an excuse and said, "But you guys have never seen what it looks like. If I go find it myself, it might take less time."
Ye Wu suddenly smiled and looked at Li Qing: "Just agree to his request. Don't worry, our chief is very approachable."
This guy...
Li Qing mentally scoffed, "Your ability is a bit too overpowered! You can know what you're thinking? That's a bit unreasonable! And you can even read someone's memories with just a flick of your wrist. That's going too far!"
Sure enough, Ye Wu said again, "It's not that powerful. My ability has a fatal limitation: I must have seen you, and you must be very close to me. Only then can I use my ability. As for the one you mentioned later, it also has a limitation: they must lose consciousness, and I must expend a lot of energy to detect their most recent memories."
"So you just told all your weaknesses to a stranger like that? Doesn't your tribe not welcome strangers and are very wary of them? What kind of operation is this? You are the shaman of the tribe. You just told me all your abilities and weaknesses. Is this really okay?" Li Qing mentally complained.
Ye Wu: "I'm not stupid. I'm telling you this because I feel that if this works out, you'll have done our tribe a great favor. It's nothing to just tell you about my abilities. Of course, most importantly, I think you're a good person, unlike those dark-hearted beasts in other tribes."
Why am I being friend-zoned again for no reason? How many times has this happened? Don't I want to be a good person?!
Li Qing felt ashamed, but he understood Ye Wu's situation. With such abilities, it was naturally very easy for Ye Wu to judge whether he had ulterior motives.
He waved his hand dejectedly and said, "Alright, Chief, then come with me."
Xiong Ga hurriedly ran towards Li Qing.
Ye Wu looked up at the sky and said to the two of them, "I hope everything goes well for you."
Xiong Ga responded and said to Li Qing, "By the way, tell me exactly what that fruit looks like. Maybe I'll remember it and know where it is."
Helpless, Li Qing had no choice but to describe the appearance of croton to Xiong Ga. After that, as if afraid that some "strange people" in the tribe might become addicted to croton, he added, "Remember, croton can only be taken when you have an upset stomach. Don't take it when you're not sick, or don't come looking for me if you get sick."
Xiong Ga exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of fruit is this? It makes you poop after eating it! That sounds disgusting!"
"I have no choice," Li Qing said helplessly.
After learning that the soldiers only had diarrhea and that the treatment was simple, Xiong Ga seemed to relax a lot, his tone revealing a hint of lightness: "I was just saying it casually. Anyway, as long as it can cure them, a little disgusting is fine! By the way, Li Qing, I do know where the croton you mentioned is, but come with me to a place first. Don't worry, it's very close to here."
