Chapter 232 Witch Hospital
After the Teng Tribe left, the tribes near the Yuan Tribe all followed the movement and went over to observe the situation.
When they saw the mountain of corpses, everyone was shocked.
They copied the totem pattern on the big pillar next to the mountain of corpses and took it back to warn their own tribe members not to provoke the Teng tribe in the future.
The vicious reputation of the Teng tribe gradually spread among the nearby tribes.
In the future, if these tribes encounter the fleet of the Teng tribe or members of the Teng tribe again, they will definitely weigh their own concerns before taking action.
…
October 6th, late at night.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
The cold wind was howling outside, and inside the house, Jiang Xuan lit a candle and was drawing a new map.
After returning from the ape tribe, the weather has been getting colder day by day, especially tonight, the wind is very strong and it is very cold.
Jiang Xuan, wearing animal skins, lay in front of the table and drew the direction of the Feiyu River, the iconic landforms on both sides, and the tribe according to his memory.
After finishing the drawing, Jiang Xuan put down the brush, rubbed his cold hands, and said to himself: "The map drawn in this way is not accurate. It is better to take a special trip and draw while walking next time."
He washed the paint off the animal hair brush and hung it up. As for the animal skin scroll, since the paint was not dry yet, he left it on the table for the time being.
Jiang Xuan yawned and went to bed.
The next morning, Jiang Xuan got up, opened the door and saw white everywhere.
A layer of white frost had condensed on the treetops, roofs and ground.
Jiang Xuan returned to the house, took out the calendar bamboo slips, and wrote a line of small words on it: October 7th, Frost Descent.
"It's winter again."
Jiang Xuan put away the bamboo slips, looked at the white frost at the door, and lamented the passing of time.
He looked again at the huge divine vine in the center of the tribe. As usual, the divine vine was covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible to see its true appearance.
There are more than a hundred giant dragonflies living on the sacred vine.
Before the frost, those giant dragonflies would occasionally fly out and circle around. After the frost, those giant dragonflies were mostly dead.
Jiang Xuan sighed slightly. Although the giant dragonfly was huge and very ferocious, it could not resist the test of time.
But new giant dragonflies will appear next year.
Jiang Xuan simply washed up, ate a little, then put on his new animal skin clothes and walked out the door.
Today is a very important day because the Witch Hospital is finally established!
A mud brick house rose from the ground on a vacant lot outside the bamboo forest of Teng tribe.
This mud brick house was built in the autumn and was put into use immediately after it was completed.
The mud brick house has several rooms and a large yard, it is very spacious.
Above the gate of the hospital hung a newly carved plaque, on which were engraved three large and flamboyant Chinese characters in Wu language: Wu Hospital.
At this time, although the weather was cold, many people were busy making arrangements inside the brand new Witch Hospital, preparing for the upcoming opening ceremony of the Witch Hospital.
The witch hospital was promoted by Jiang Xuan and is a place for tribal members to heal injuries and illnesses.
At present, whether in the Teng tribe or other tribes, the Wu is almost the only one who can treat illnesses.
There are so many people in the tribe, and illness and injuries are common. How can the witch alone possibly take care of them?
Therefore, only those who are seriously ill or seriously injured can be treated by the witch. Those who are less ill or slightly injured can only find some herbal medicine to solve the problem by themselves.
However, many illnesses cannot be delayed, and the same goes for injuries.
If you delay treatment for too long, a minor illness will turn into a major illness, and a minor injury will turn into a serious injury.
Therefore, in order to ensure that all members of the tribe could receive timely medical treatment and healing, Jiang Xuan began planning to establish a witch hospital very early on.
He persuaded Chishao to let her take a group of witch doctor apprentices. These apprentices did not need to have superb medical skills, as long as they could treat some common minor illnesses and injuries.
It is worth mentioning that during the period when Chishao was training witch doctor apprentices, the old witch would often go over to teach those apprentices and enjoyed it.
Under the guidance of Chishao and the old witch, these witch doctor apprentices quickly learned to identify various commonly used herbs, as well as methods to treat colds, fevers and minor injuries.
The basics have been learned, and now it is time for these witch doctor apprentices to sum up their experience in practice and continue learning.
They will become witch doctors in the witch hospital, specializing in treating illnesses and healing the members of the Teng tribe.
In the witch hospital, ten witch doctor apprentices, wearing brand new animal skin clothes and with totem patterns painted on their faces, were waiting for the ceremony to begin with both nervousness and excitement.
Although the weather was cold, there were many people standing outside the witch hospital. Almost all the members of the Teng tribe came.
At the entrance of the witch hospital, there was a wooden platform, five meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high, with several flat animal skins spread on it.
If there was no red silk, Jiang Xuan would have wanted to cover the sign of the Witch Hospital with red silk, which would have made it more ceremonial.
As the sun slowly rose, all the important members of the Teng tribe arrived.
The old witch stood aside, looking at the witch doctor apprentices in front of the platform with satisfaction. He had come here specially today and even temporarily put aside such an important task as carving the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map.
The old witch is a man with very noble medical ethics. His greatest wish is to promote witchcraft skills and benefit more people, instead of keeping them to himself.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao slowly climbed onto the platform.
Jiang Xuan wanted Chishao to say a few words, but Chishao shook his head slightly, indicating that he should speak himself.
Jiang Xuan had no choice but to nod and tell the story himself.
The witches from other tribes are all eloquent liars and charlatans. Only the witch from the Teng tribe is dedicated to practical work and is not good at speaking.
Jiang Xuan cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Today is the opening day of the Witch Hospital. I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let me tell you the purpose of establishing the Witch Hospital."
"We live in this dangerous forest, dealing with all kinds of birds and beasts, poisonous snakes and insects all day long. Getting sick, poisoned and injured are unavoidable."
"But in the tribe, the only one who can really heal illnesses and injuries is Wu. How can she possibly handle it?"
"There are currently more than 2,600 people in our Teng tribe. If we include the captives, there are more than 3,800 people, and the population will increase in the future."
"Even if only 1% of the people get sick or injured, that would be at least dozens of people a day. Even if the witch works day and night, how many people can heal?"
Jiang Xuan's words touched Chishao beside him and the old witch below deeply. After becoming witches, they hardly even had time to rest.
Every day he either deals with medicinal materials or treats illnesses and injuries. Sometimes he also has to preside over important tribal events, record tribal history, hold sacrifices, etc. He is very busy.
Even if you work day and night, you can't get everything done.
Jiang Xuan continued: "So, we need to set up a witch hospital and train more witch doctors."
"In the future, I hope that every injured, poisoned, or sick member of the tribe can receive timely treatment!"
"good!"
After Jiang Xuan said this, all the members of the Teng tribe were excited and cheered continuously, because the establishment of the witch hospital was related to the life of every member of the tribe.
Thanks to the book friend "Fairy of Moon Lake" for the reward of 1,666 book coins.
