Chapter 474

I was unable to say anything, so I just made sure to avoid eye contact with him and placed the flower petals on his eye. They would help curb the blood flow and also reduce whatever swelling he is bound to have as a result of the injury. I pulled some grass from the ground and swiped them over in hand for sometime, trying to get rid of the blood coating his hand before it coagulates. When that was done, I sat back on my knees, staring at him and thinking of what I would be able to do next to help the healing process,

Since he was quiet through all these, I was afraid to start a conversation, so I swallowed back all the words that I had in my throat. I was uncomfortable under his scrutiny, so I quickly scrambled up to look for other leaves that I could turn into a paste and apply to his eyes, and also something for him to drink. I did not bother to tell him what I was about to do, he knows I am not running away and that is enough for me. I ran my hands over the leaves as I passed by them,

After a while of searching, I could not find the exact leaf that I was actually looking for and there was nothing coming to my brain that I could actually use as a substitute. It must be because I have been away from Maman for a while, so I was losing touch with nature and the art of making herbs. I felt so disappointed at myself, this was the only thing I had, whicyi actually considered a talent due to how fast I was able to pick it up, and even Maman was also suprised too,

 I saw some leaves with wild berries on it and it was so appetizing and enticing. The colour was almost a faded blue and it still had some droplets of water coating it, it was almost looking like it should be revered instead of eaten. But my stomach was way too hungry to care and I found myself walking towards it, as if it was calling out to me. I squatted in front of it and ran my hands over the bunch closest to me, since I knew that not all wild fruit should be eaten, without confirming first if they are poisonous or not, u decided to check

Fruits were always picked and brought down to us. Whenever I go in search of my own food, I try to source for food or fruits that I already know and would not have to put through a lot of test since I do not know how to verify them. I contemplated a lot on how it should be tested, but after a while of not coming up with a reasonable answer, I decided to eat one first. Due to the small size, one was not enough to decipher it, so I threw the bunch in my mouth
