Chapter 15 Cultural Communication
Su Tang nodded earnestly, "Of course it's true!"
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Qing Guo standing nearby, still holding the large leaf they'd used to give Meng Ze water.
People here probably aren't accustomed to drinking hot water, but given Meng Ze's condition, he urgently needed boiled water.
However, it seemed that they didn't have a habit of boiling things, and naturally, didn't have containers for that either.
She seemed to recall that old Nike had been holding a piece of earthenware previously.
A sudden idea occurred to her.
Wait!
Where were her surgical tools?
She looked anxiously at old Nike, "Old Nike, do you remember where I put my tools when I treated Meng Ze?"
Old Nike nodded, "The Tribal Chief asked me to put your belongings away for you, you can ask him!"
Su Tang let out a sigh of relief, but then she slapped her forehead in frustration!
With her careless nature, who knew how many things she might misplace in the future!
When she arrived at the mouth of the cave, Gaiyin had already moved Meng Ze to a spot where the sunlight was better.
Seeing Su Tang, he asked, "How about here?"
Su Tang nodded.
At this time, Yuanyuan ran over, panting and with tears in her eyes, "Tangtang! How's Meng Ze? You must save him. I haven't conceived Meng Ze's cub yet!"
Su Tang became suddenly interested, so Meng Ze and Yuanyuan were a couple, eh?
"Don't worry, Yuanyuan! I'll do my best! But first you must do something for me!"
Yuanyuan quickly nodded, "Tell me, Tangtang, whatever it is, I will do it!"
Su Tang shifted her gaze to old Nike, "Old Nike, earlier by the stream, I saw you holding some earthenware. Could I borrow it?"
Old Nike was surprised and hesitated for a moment.
That earthenware was brought out by him from the Upper Beast City, it was the only one in the tribe, and no one else knew what it was or seemed to care.
But Su Tang called it out instantly, and she seemed not at all surprised about its existence.
Considering that earthenware was even a rarity in Upper Beast City!
Thinking about the possibility that Su Tang may have come from an incredible tribe since she was a doctor, Old Nike hesitated and asked, "Can you tell me what you want to do with the earthenware?"
Su Tang nodded and looked around.
Gaiyin, Yuanyuan, Old Nike, Meng Ze, and an unknown woman.
Did this mean five points?
With a satisfied grin, Su Tang responded, "I want to use the earthenware to boil water for Meng Ze!"
Qing Guo was holding the leaf in her hand with a puzzled look, "But I've just given Meng Ze water!"
Su Tang explained, "As I said earlier, there are many invisible bugs on Meng Ze's wound, which need sunlight to kill them off.
The water we usually drink is also full of invisible bugs, we need to heat the water to kill these bugs, and drinking such heated water is healthier.
Not only should the sick drink this water, we should all drink hot water usually. Even if it cools down, it's okay. But if you drink water directly from the river, you will get an upset stomach, or vomit and you won't be able to eat!"
After hearing Su Tang's explanation, people like Yuanyuan and Qing Guo seemed to have an epiphany!
"Oh, no wonder I always have a stomachache! That's why!"
"Yeah, sometimes, after I drink water following roast meat, I vomit out the meat, can't eat meat for the next two days, and only eat fruits!"
