"I'm fine, really believe me," Gu Yue said. Hearing this, Chang Ning sighed but still nodded.
What can you do if you don't trust yourself? I've already said I trust you, so let's trust you. But Changning keeps a close eye on Guyue and rushes over whenever there's a problem.
On the other side of the crabapple tree, there was an unexpected harvest: several Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms were found. "The closer you get to the outer edge, the more precious medicinal herbs you find. If we had more time, we would love to dig them all up and take them back."
Haitang said with a hint of regret, "We still have to dig up this treasure, the Ganoderma lucidum. We can leave other things behind, but we can't leave this one behind. One Ganoderma lucidum is as big as two men hugging a hoop."
"Is this also a Ganoderma lucidum?" When Haitang dug it up, Dongfang Long and the others were stunned. The thing looked like it, but there was a big problem. Haitang nodded.
“It’s Ganoderma lucidum. If we take this back and boil it for all the children in the village to drink, they won’t have much of a problem transforming into beasts in the future. Dig it up,” Haitang said. They were only a few hundred meters away from the outer perimeter now.
They had found a few small Ganoderma lucidum ahead, and now a large one had appeared. Upon hearing this, the beastmen were stunned and immediately began digging. Haitang examined it and found it to be a Blood Ganoderma lucidum.
After digging it out, Haitang said, "Fire Spirit, take this back, and then have Lonely Moon brew some for the children to drink. We'll go back as soon as we find more herbs."
“How can that be?” Huo Ling said. “It’s dangerous here. We’re here to protect you. What if something goes wrong if I leave?” Huo Ling disagreed.
"Listen to me," Haitang said. Huoling was stunned. He seemed to be older than Haitang, so why did he listen to her just because she said "listen to me"? He looked at Haitang without saying anything. "If you send this back, you can save the children's lives. We don't know when we will be able to find herbs. With precious herbs keeping them alive, they can wait for us to return."
When Huo Ling heard this, he pursed his lips, but still transformed into a giant tiger, had the Ganoderma lucidum tied to his body, looked at Haitang and the others, roared, and went back.
Using the speed of an orc, he could cover a distance that had taken him more than two days to travel, and he could run back in less than half a day. On his way back, he was a little worried about Haitang and the others.
The people waiting at the village entrance were initially happy to see Huo Ling return, but instead of seeing her, they saw her transform into a human. "Take this Ganoderma lucidum back and let Gu Yue boil it for the child to drink."
"Have we found the herbs yet?" someone asked worriedly. Even seeing the giant Ganoderma lucidum made him unhappy, and Huo Ling became agitated upon hearing this.
"We're looking too. Only Haitang in the village knows about herbs. We haven't rested for days. Just wait..." Huoling said irritably. It wasn't just Haitang who was tired from going out these past few days; they were exhausted too.
The pressure in their hearts was exhausting. Because they couldn't find any herbs, no one knew if they could save the child. Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Their concern stemmed from the fact that some of the children now belonged to their own families. Huo Ling remained silent, carrying the Lingzhi back to Gu Yue to brew medicine. Gu Yue stared blankly at the Lingzhi.
"How many years must it have taken?" How many years must it have taken to grow to such a size? Under these circumstances, everyone around was stunned, and Gu Yue quickly used the Ganoderma lucidum to brew medicine.
After boiling the medicine, they forced it down the throats of several children who were on the verge of death. When the children couldn't drink it, they could only desperately feed them, hoping that just one sip would save their lives.
Gu Yue also had several younger sisters who were sick, and it felt like needles were piercing her heart. She knew that she was also infected, but she dared not collapse now. She was the only one in the tribe who was seriously practicing the Blood Medicine of Begonia.
Others haven't learned enough; they haven't even taught Haitang how to take a pulse. Only Guyue is capable of doing it. If she falls ill, things might get chaotic among them.
Witch doctors are good, but the problem is that what they know are all folk remedies or experiences passed down from the previous generation. They have no confidence in dealing with the situation at hand.
Gu Yue remembered everything Hai Tang had told her before she left. After feeding the children, she also took a sip herself. "Gu Yue, have you caught it too?"
When Changning looked at Guyue, she said, "You look terrible, and you're still lying down..." Looking at Guyue's expression, Changning suspected that the other party had been infected.
"I'm fine, cough cough..." Gu Yue shook her head and said. Hearing this, Chang Ning's face turned pale. "I still have things to do." Gu Yue said and went into the room.
Changning clenched her fists tightly, contemplating knocking them out and taking them back, but she held back. Many of the children in the room looked unwell, but the little beastman was alright; although he had a fever, he hadn't fallen into a coma.
The little female fell into a coma and remained unconscious. All we fed her today was rice porridge, which was given to us by Shi Hu from Haitang's family.
Only this kind of plain rice porridge could keep the children from vomiting; other things would make them vomit. Gu Yue took a few steps and became unsteady, then fainted on the ground. Chang Ning's expression changed, and she picked her up and placed her a short distance away.
Changning, wearing a mask, had been here for several days, but his physical condition was surprisingly good; he hadn't been infected at all. He went to boil water. "Um, could someone please wipe Guyue's body? Guyue is infected..."
“We? The problem is that all the children here need to be bathed. Aren’t you a beastman from Lonely Moon? Why don’t you bathe them?” A female nearby spoke up. They were all sick and had people to take care of, so they didn’t have time to bathe others.
They also have to protect their own children, but the problem is that their bodies can't take it. When many children here get sick, it's the females in the family who come to take care of them and wipe their bodies.
