This was the first time Yan Luo heard of the tribal doctor.
She suppressed her curiosity and followed Ershengzi back to his home.
On the way, the people in the tribe saw Er Shengzi leading a beautiful girl, and they all made faces at him. If Er Shengzi was a little whiter, they would have seen that his face was as red as a tomato.
Ershengzi's home is at the back of the entire tribe.
Three stone houses stand against the mountain, surrounded by a small courtyard with a wooden fence. Some unknown green vegetables are planted in the courtyard, and some of them bear strange fruits.
There are two wooden houses in the courtyard, one is a toilet and the other is a grocery room.
After Ershengzi came back, he threw his hunting bow and arrow into the grocery room, threw a wild rabbit on the ground, and then shouted into the stone house,
"Mom, I'm back!"
A woman in her fifties came out of the stone house, holding a shoe sole in her hand, obviously making shoes.
She saw Yan Luo at a glance, and then blinked,
"Son, you are not going to follow the example of the cowherd and go out to pick up a fairy girl, right?"
Yan Luo shook his head awkwardly and explained,
"I am a person in trouble outside. I finally climbed to the foot of the mountain and was brought back by this brother."
Ershengzi hurriedly asked,
"Mom, is there anything to eat? She must be starving."
It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother. Seeing how nervous her son was, what was there for the woman to not understand?
She sighed in her heart. Look at how beautiful this girl is. She looks just like the one shown on the TV in the clan leader's house. How could such a beautiful girl be interested in her son?
Although she is in trouble now, she also knows that a forced melon is not sweet.
I don't know if my son has the ability to fall in love with her.
The woman said,
"I'll go heat up some minced meat, you clean up the girl's room."
"Okay!"
There are three stone houses, one of which is used as the main hall, where people eat, meet guests and work. The one on the left is where the wife lives, and the one on the right is where the second son lives.
Now that Yan Luo had arrived, Ershengzi cleaned up his room and went to sleep in the main hall.
Ershengzi's room was very simple. There was only a skin blanket of some unknown animal on the bed, a flat stone as a pillow, and an old quilt.
There are also two wooden wardrobes in the room, with some clothes scattered inside.
This home can really be described as bare-bones.
Yan Luo didn't know whether only Ershengzi's family was so poor, or the whole village was so poor.
After a while, the woman came over with a quilt.
"Get your stuff out, little bastard."
Yan Luo said,
"Let me lay the floor."
The bedding looks old, but it has been washed very clean.
From the current perspective, although this man likes her, fortunately, both the mother and the son are not bad people.
If this tribe had no ill intentions and did not want to force her to stay, she should be able to leave tomorrow.
"By the way, what's your name?"
".Luo Yan."
The woman smiled and said,
"Then I'll call you Yanyan."
"good."
Ershengzi smiled foolishly, she is indeed a fairy from outside, her name is so nice.
"Yanyan, the minced meat is ready, come and eat."
"Well, thank you, Auntie."
Yan Luo sat at the table.
There was a black ceramic bowl on the table, filled with minced meat porridge.
This minced meat is real meat, and besides the meat, there are only some green wild vegetables.
Yan Luo thought there would be rice or paste.
Ershengzi served her a bowl.
Yan Luo picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and almost vomited after taking just one bite.
The minced meat and wild vegetables were cooked together without any seasoning. The porridge had the original fishy smell of raw meat, which made Yan Luo, who usually loved spicy food, instantly feel nauseous.
"What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"
Yan Luo shook his head and took another bite.
"No, it's just that I haven't eaten for several days, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Although it tasted bad, Yan Luo knew that she needed to replenish her nutrition, so she drank a bowl of it.
After drinking the meat porridge, the tribe doctor came.
This is an old man in his seventies, wearing glasses and carrying a large medicine box. He has a head full of white hair, but looks very energetic.
Seeing Yan Luo, he was also surprised.
"I heard that the outside was flooded. No outsiders have been here for more than half a year. How did you get here?"
Yan Luo made up the story again, and the summary was, he was in trouble.
The clan doctor was knowledgeable and experienced. He looked at Yan Luo deeply and muttered,
"You can still escape to our place after such a natural disaster. You are not an ordinary person, girl~"
Yan Luo smiled slightly and said nothing.
It's the default.
The old clan doctor felt Yan Luo's pulse. He frowned and looked at Yan Luo with a more serious look.
Yan Luo asked,
"Senior, with this expression on your face, does it mean that I am going to die soon?"
After saying that, Ershengzi hurried forward and said,
"Grandpa, you have to take a good look at Yanyan. You can't refuse to save her just because she is an outsider~"
As he spoke, he comforted Yan Luo,
"Yan Yan, don't worry. Grandpa, the clan doctor, is very good. Before the natural disasters, many wealthy people from outside came to Grandpa to take their pulses and prescribe medicine."
Yan Luo raised an eyebrow. How did those rich people get in?
They didn't climb the mountain like her, did they?
How powerful could a minority doctor in the deep mountains be? Are those rich people stupid?
Yan Luo didn't believe what this man could see.
Unexpectedly, the old doctor said,
"The girl's meridians are the strongest I have ever seen, but now they are full of wounds. I guess the girl has just been injured, and the injury has hit the root."
Yan Luo: ...
She straightened her face and sat up straight.
The old doctor continued,
"You are not an ordinary person, so ordinary medicines will have little effect on your meridians."
Hearing this, Ershengzi stood in front of the old clan doctor and asked,
"What should we do, Grandpa? Is Yanyan... beyond saving?"
Medicines don't work. Oh my god, what a serious disease it must be!
Yan Luo asked calmly,
"Grandpa, the clan doctor, do you have a solution?"
He was saying that ordinary medicines wouldn't work.
But it doesn't say that nothing will work.
Yan Luo herself knew that she could recover on her own from her current condition, but it might take more than half a year.
The old doctor nodded,
"Although I don't have any medicine, I can give you acupuncture."
Acupuncture?
This was the first time Yan Luo heard about using acupuncture to treat monks.
She looked at the old doctor,
"What kind of reward do you need?" After a pause, she said with an unnatural expression, "I am penniless now."
Ershengzi jumped out immediately. He patted his chest and said,
"Don't worry, Yanyan. The clan doctor only needs prey to save people. I will go hunt a goat for the clan doctor when the time comes!"
Yan Luo and the old clan doctor looked at him at the same time.
Traditional medicine,
"This is not the reward I want, but..."
He stroked his beard and said cheerfully,
"Since Xiao Sheng gave it to me, I'll accept it with reluctance."
