Chapter 172 The Desire for Survival



Following Lin Qiu's instructions, You Bo's father went to the forest to pick some fresh herbs and brought them home.

From outside the courtyard, he saw everyone in the family crowded into Youbo's room. His first reaction was that something was wrong. He took two steps into the courtyard and shouted, "Youbo!"

Hearing his voice, everyone turned around: "You are finally back, Youbo has woken up. Look."

Yubai's mother was sitting next to Yubai, and Yubai rested his head on his mother's legs, looking very attached.

Although his eyes were half-closed, there was a gleam in them.

"Youbo, you really woke up, that's great! You scared me to death!" Youbo's father was so excited that his eyes hurt. He leaned forward and gently touched Youbo's face.

"What did Lin Qiu say? Why didn't you bring her here?"

You Bo's father said, "Lin Qiu said that he can't eat or drink anything until he farts. He told me to go to the mountain to pick some heat-clearing herbs, fearing that he might catch a fever."

"Luckily you came back early. There's already broth in the pot for Youbo," said the male in the family.

As soon as Youbo woke up, everyone was overjoyed. Youbo's mother immediately ordered the male to make something to eat. Everyone's idea was simple: eating would give them strength and make it easier to recover.

Not being allowed to eat when you are sick sounds a bit unreasonable, but because it was Lin Qiu who said it, they couldn't help but believe it.

What Lin Qiu showed yesterday really shocked everyone in the tribe.

The news of Youbo's awakening spread throughout the tribe within the morning. By the evening, Youbo ate a little bit and it seemed that he would not die.

Death was no longer controlled by the Beast God. Lin Qiu snatched back You Bo's life from the Beast God's arms.

Ling Yun spread the word among the tribe: "Females not only control life, but also death. This is a gift from the Beast God."

These words shocked everyone in the tribe, especially the females.

"We are also females, so we should have this ability too!"

"How could it be that simple... You saw it too, Lin Qiu was so bold, she actually dared to use the bone needle to pierce You Bo's fur. Not to mention that You Bo was still alive at the time, even if he was dead, I wouldn't have been able to do it!"

"It's a little creepy to do it, but when you think about it, it's to save people, it doesn't seem that scary anymore."

Everyone was talking about it, but they all came to Lin Qiu's door at the same time.

Lin Qiu was in the house explaining to Dongxue and the others the principles of surgical suture and the role of wood ash in it.

Xinlan said she didn't believe that bacteria and viruses existed in this world. They thought they were a kind of poisonous "gas".

"You can think of it as a kind of 'qi', but this qi is alive. They survive and reproduce by 'eating' us. The bodies of those 'eaten' by them will show signs of redness, swelling, and ulceration, and our bodies will also produce fever as they fight against their invasion."

Due to limited conditions, Lin Qiu was unable to prove the existence of bacteria, so she could only explain it this way.

It was easy to understand. Dongxue clapped her hands and said, "So, according to you, fever is actually meant to protect our bodies?"

"That's the purpose, but when we have a fever, our bodies can't distinguish between friend and foe." Lin Qiu had no way to treat her. She had taken Western medicine when she was sick in Hongshi Village. If she had a fever, she could take Analgin, which cost a few cents a pill, with water before going to bed, and she would be fine when she woke up.

She could only spread the principle, maybe some smart orc would find a solution.

While the discussion was getting heated, Lin Qiu saw a group of people coming to the door.

The female who came over heard their conversation and became interested, listening attentively.

"Are you here for class?" Lin Qiu asked.

There were five females in this group. One of them asked, "We just want to learn from you how to treat serious wounds, and..." What Lin Qiu had just said really piqued their interest. "Can you tell us more about the 'qi' you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu warmly invited them in to sit down.

It doesn’t matter what you learn. If you want to learn a little today, and a little tomorrow, you will learn it all slowly.

"Of course, we're discussing it."

After welcoming everyone in, Song Mu went to carry out two wooden stakes for them to sit on.

Originally, in order to teach, Lin Qiu asked Ling Yun and Song Mu to carve several pieces of wood to make chairs, and placed them in the big cave of the tribe. But because there were too few people coming to learn, Lin Qiu simply asked Dong Xue and the other two to come to their yard to study. With so many people sitting there, the small yard became crowded.

However, Lin Qiu was very excited and told everyone everything he knew.

Everyone was fascinated by the lecture and found that studying was not as bad as they had imagined.

It's interesting to know some things you haven't heard before.

Everyone went back and told the story by word of mouth, and the next day almost all the females in the tribe came to Lin Qiu's door.

Lin Qiu was very excited: "There's no room in my yard, let's go to the big cave!"

What Lin Qiu didn't expect was that in everyone's eyes, the convenience of life and the desire for food could not outweigh the need to survive.

Everyone is very eager for medical knowledge.

As Ling Yun said, they not only want to create life, but also want life to continue.

"Anywhere is fine. I didn't hear you talk about the surgery yesterday. You have to tell us again today!"

Lin Qiu said, "Don't worry, I will explain everything you want to know."

She was a little excited and forgot that she had just woken up and hadn't even eaten yet.

Song Mu chased after them with a bowl in her hand, and all the males and females followed behind them, making for quite a large group of people.

Song Mu looked at them and suddenly thought, while waiting for the females, couldn't these males who were left aside also learn?

The females and males learn different things respectively. The sooner they finish learning, the sooner Lin Qiu can relieve himself of the burden.
