Chapter 13 Pregnancy Care
Grey Lang dared not delay and hurriedly left with three tiger warriors and precious medicinal herbs.
Looking in the direction the group had left, Yueqing was filled with mixed emotions, hoping that the tiger warriors could reach Yuyun in time.
"Let's go."
Yin Hu's voice rang in her ears, and Yue Qing snapped out of her daze, silently following in his footsteps.
The two walked one after the other through the gradually quieting tribe.
Silver Tiger still took her back to the stone house.
"You'll be staying here from now on." Silver Tiger stopped, without looking at her. "If you need anything, just tell the servant at the door."
Yueqing was stunned for a moment. This was Yinhu's own residence. What if she continued to live here?
Where does he live?
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask him what to do, but saw Yin Hu's gaze fall on her, his eyes deep and complex, as if confirming something, yet also carrying a kind of indescribable estrangement.
"have a good rest."
Silver Tiger didn't give her a chance to speak, and turned to leave after finishing his sentence.
His back was straight, yet it inexplicably exuded a heavy feeling.
As Yueqing watched his departing figure, she felt something was off. Before she could figure it out, she heard the system's cheeky voice.
[Host, host, this is a golden opportunity!]
[Living in the home of an S-level tycoon, you get the best of both worlds. Just look at this house.]
Spacious! Sturdy! Looks perfect for this...hehehe!
[Give birth to a baby, 100 points in hand! Then I can exchange for antibiotics, even high-grade repair fluid, saving Yu Yun will be a piece of cake!]
Yueqing, annoyed by the system's constant chatter, mentally retorted, "Shut up! Yu Yun's life is hanging in the balance, how could I possibly..."
How could she possibly be considering developing a relationship with another male at this time, while carrying a child of unknown origin?
Moreover, her feelings for Yin Hu were more of gratitude and awe than romantic love.
Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say that it was Yu Yun, but in the original owner's memories, Yu Yun was a male she could entrust her life to.
[But host, points are really important, and besides, this is an S-level gene!]
Just think about your future child...
"I don't want to!" Yueqing interrupted the system, rubbing her temples in frustration.
She walked into the stone house, lay down straight, and chose to ignore the system's words.
In the days that followed, Yueqing began her pregnancy rest in this stone house.
Every day, a dedicated female delivers food on time, with a wide variety and balanced nutrition.
Most of the dishes consist of roasted, fragrant meat, paired with sweet wild fruits and a strangely flavored herbal soup that is said to be good for your health.
The tiger clan clearly regarded her as a key protected individual, taking meticulous care of her.
However, this kind of care is more like a disguised form of surveillance.
She could sense that there were always faint gazes around the stone house, and the servants at the door never left her side.
As for Silver Tiger, he never appeared again.
Yueqing knew that before the pregnancy stabilized, it would be difficult for her in her poor health to leave this place.
Tiger Clan warriors are heading to Yu Yun's side, so she doesn't need to worry about it for now.
But when Yueqing thought about the females in the breeding center who, like the original owner, had been trafficked and might still be suffering inhumane treatment, she couldn't stay there with a clear conscience.
Those parasites and human traffickers must pay the price!
She couldn't let more innocent orcs suffer like this.
To uncover the truth and save more people, she must first understand the Tiger Tribe and find a way to leave.
So, Yueqing began to slowly move around the Tiger Tribe, accompanied by her attendants at a distance, under the pretext that walking was good for her pregnancy.
She carefully observed the layout of the tribe, the distribution of houses, the activity patterns of the tribespeople, and especially the shift changes and routes of the patrol guards.
The Tiger Tribe was established in a valley, a strategically important location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was surrounded by natural barriers and man-made sentry posts.
While familiarizing herself with the terrain, she also kept a close watch, hoping to find some clues about the breeding base or human traffickers.
After all, why did Silver Tiger appear in that place, and why did he buy her, this frail female?
She simply couldn't understand it.
...
That day, Yueqing unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the witch doctor's stone house.
A strong herbal scent wafted from the stone house, mixed with a faint, almost imperceptible odor of decay.
Yueqing frowned, but curiosity led her over.
The door to the stone house was open, and the old witch doctor was hunched over, fiddling with something in front of a figure lying on a straw mat, muttering incantations.
Yueqing approached quietly and saw that the person lying on the grass mat was an unfamiliar male beastman. He was not the burly type common among the tiger tribe. Instead, he appeared somewhat thin, with a face as pale as paper, eyes closed, and only a slight rise and fall of his chest. If it weren't for his faint breathing, he would almost look like a dead man.
"Master Witch Doctor," Yueqing greeted softly.
The old witch doctor raised his head, glanced at her with his cloudy eyes, and nodded in response.
His attention quickly returned to the unconscious male, his brow furrowed.
"What's wrong with him?" Yueqing couldn't help but ask.
"Alas, he was seriously injured and has been unconscious ever since," the witch doctor sighed. "We've used a lot of medicine, and he's been kept alive, but he just won't wake up. He's practically a living dead."
Living dead?
Yueqing's heart stirred, and she stepped forward to carefully observe the male.
His body was stiff, but not completely lifeless.
Yueqing stretched out her fingers and tentatively pressed a few acupoints on his arm, then gently pried open his eyelids to look at his pupils.
The pupils seemed to have an extremely faint reaction to light!
“Master Witch Doctor,” Yueqing looked up excitedly, “he might not be completely unconscious. His body seems to still react to external stimuli, albeit very weakly!”
The witch doctor paused for a moment, clearly not quite understanding what Yueqing meant: "There's a reaction? But he doesn't move at all, and we can't wake him up no matter how much we call him."
“It’s different,” Yueqing explained. “Sometimes certain pathways in the body are blocked, or nerves are damaged, so the consciousness cannot control the body well, nor can it receive information from the outside world, but this does not mean that the brain has completely stopped working.”
She was a surgeon in modern times and had some knowledge of neurology.
The state of the male before her reminded her of a state of deep coma but not brain death.
"The road is blocked?" The witch doctor frowned, chewing on the new words.
“Yes.” Yueqing nodded affirmatively. “Perhaps, by stimulating some special points on his body, we can help him unblock those meridians and reconnect him to his body.”
She thought of acupuncture and acupressure in traditional Chinese medicine.
Although there are no silver needles in this world, precise acupressure with fingers may still have some effect.
