Shen Shixun looked at it and thought, "This is supposed to be given to her to eat?"
"Gila, what should I say? He/She will be poisoned."
Jira was puzzled, then looked at Nan Zhi who was still chuckling, as if he were knitting something, and was a little frightened. "We eat like this every day, and we've never eaten like this before. What should we do, brother?"
The man swept Xiang Nanzhi up in his arms. He was strong and carried the woman with ease. He lifted the curtain and saw Rooney smoking not far away outside.
Seeing that he was holding a woman in his arms, he quickly turned his face away.
"Big brother..."
"You should get some rest. I'll take your sister-in-law to find Mamba."
"No, I'll go find it. I'll have Mamba come over."
“He’s so old, don’t let him run away. I’ll take your sister-in-law with me.”
The tribe has a large population, and at night everyone stays in their own tents. Some of the younger people can't sleep at night, so they have some unique entertainment activities.
But compared to the outside world, life on the grassland is monotonous, and people spend almost all their nights in tents.
Shen Shixun walked through a group of tents, holding Xiang Nanzhi in his arms. The woman in his arms still had strong hands and bright eyes, playing with the needle and thread in her hands, immersed in her own world, and did not look at him at all.
After a while, Shen Shixun finally arrived outside the Mamba tent. Fearing it might be inconvenient, he called out from outside, "Mamba, it's me, Shixun. My woman has been poisoned. Please help me take a look."
"Mamba!"
After waiting for a while, there was finally movement in the tent. Through the curtain, they could see the people inside. Shen Shixun was holding the woman in his arms, "Mamba..."
"What happened?"
“Mamba, my woman is pregnant. She ate mushrooms, and her health isn’t good.”
Shen Shixun married a Han Chinese girl, and everyone on the grasslands knew about it.
Mamba glanced at him, told him to put Xiang Nanzhi on the bed, and then went to flip through the book again. Shen Shixun saw that Xiang Nanzhi was still knitting and tried to stop her, but she seemed to be controlled by something, with her own obsession, and continued to knit.
After a while, Mamba finally turned to the page he wanted to see and learned that Xiang Nanzhi had probably eaten some kind of mushroom that caused the poisoning.
"Nothing serious."
On the grasslands, nothing matters as long as it doesn't endanger life.
“Mamba…”
"Don't be nervous, Sehun. You've been to the city and seen the world."
"She's in poor health, and she's pregnant."
"It's alright."
Rooney and Gila followed closely behind Mamba and joined the team to help find herbs. Gila felt guilty and told Rooney, "I didn't know we could get poisoned. We eat mushrooms and have never been poisoned."
"Is my brother angry with me, Rooney? Is my brother angry with me?"
"No, Sehun isn't that petty. You didn't know that mushrooms can be poisonous."
"I only let my sister-in-law try it because I thought it tasted good."
“I know that our Gila is a kind girl and would never hurt anyone.”
"I almost harmed my sister-in-law."
"You didn't do it on purpose, Gila. You'll be fine, don't worry."
Xiang Nanzhi was knitting until late at night when Shen Shixun tried to stop her, but couldn't. Xiang Nanzhi was so happy that she rolled around on the bed.
Mamba asked a few young men from the army to help him find herbs. Gila and Rooney also ran all night and found the grassland that Mamba wanted.
He crushed the herbs and applied some to her face, then soaked the herbs in water and gave her some to drink.
Around dawn, Xiang Nanzhi probably ran out of energy and stopped what she was doing, but she didn't sleep. She was still happy, though it was unclear what she was happy about.
Shen Shixun didn't sleep all night. Seeing her like this, he was so worried that he lost his appetite for smoking. He couldn't touch her, and she wouldn't listen to him. She kept talking to herself, as if she were possessed.
Gila and Rooney sat outside the tent. They were exhausted after staying up all night. They were yawning even just sitting. Gila, who was pregnant, couldn't stay awake any longer. She leaned her head on Rooney's shoulder and fell asleep in no time.
Xiang Nanzhi's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, but she was still smiling. As she smiled, Mamba brought her another bowl of green herbal juice.
Previously, the herbs were soaked in boiling water; this time, the herbs were crushed and rinsed with cold water to extract the juice.
Shen Shixun glanced at it and his heart sank. "Mamba, she has a sensitive stomach. This is raw food. I'm worried about her."
"You little rascal, you've been in the city for years and you still don't believe in my medical skills!"
Mamba cursed, "Give her the drink right now!"
The curse from inside the Mamba tent woke Gila up. She shuddered, and Rooney patted her back. "Shh, it's okay, I'm here. Go back to sleep."
Gila then slowly closed her eyes again.
Inside the tent—
After Xiang Nanzhi drank the last bowl of herbal juice, she drifted off to sleep. Shen Shixun glanced at Mamba, "She..."
"It's okay, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Shen Shixun was still worried, but he had been bothering him all night. Mamba was so old, if he continued to stay up, it might kill him.
He picked the woman up and carried her out of the tent.
Xiang Nanzhi was sleeping soundly. It was probably a bit cold in the morning, and she curled up in his arms like a newborn baby.
Shen Shixun covered him with his coat and carried him back the way they came.
"Rooney."
Rooney made a "shh" gesture at him.
Gila is asleep, and he hopes she gets a good night's sleep.
Shen Shixun didn't call her anymore, and carried Xiang Nanzhi through one tent after another in the tribe.
The cattle herders had already gotten up, everyone had gotten up, and countless eyes saw Shen Shixun holding a woman.
