Chapter 39 Female Sickness
Chapter 39 Female Sickness
The old doctor has always been a recluse in the tribe. Apart from appearing to treat orcs, he does not participate in the affairs of the tribe most of the time. It is normal that he has not seen E Ling very often.
In the wooden house where patients were treated, E Ling saw many medicinal herbs classified into different categories on the wooden shelves near one wall. At first glance, there were many that she had never seen before.
"Go and look at those females. What diseases do they have?"
The old doctor raised his head towards the group of females lying on the ground and said.
E Ling soon realized that the old doctor was testing her, and went forward to check the conditions of the females as instructed. Three of them had high fever and were talking nonsense in a daze, while two of them were shivering all over, wrapped in large animal skins, and could not stop sneezing.
One of the females was Hua Li.
Her leopard companion was accompanying her, wrapping Hua Li's petite body with thick animal skins, leaving only a pale little face exposed. If E Ling hadn't checked her body, no one would have realized it was her.
When Hua Li saw E Ling, she said sadly, "E Ling, am I going to die?"
Bao Zhuo behind her hugged her tightly, almost crying with sadness, "Li, don't say such things! You won't die!"
"It's just a minor illness. You won't die." E Ling patted her hands and comforted her.
"But I feel so uncomfortable and cold all over..." Hua Li tightened the animal skin around her body.
"Eling, you have a way to save Li, right? Please save her!" Bao Zhuo said pleadingly.
E Ling comforted Bao Zhuo and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the old doctor first."
After returning to the old doctor, E Ling said to him, "There are three females with fever. The most urgent task is to clear their heat. There are also two females with chills. We need to get rid of the cold for them."
The old doctor nodded, agreeing with E Ling's words. She stirred the medicine in the pot and said, "I'm already making the medicine to clear away heat. What medicine do you need to remove cold? Go and look for it."
The old doctor raised his chin towards the shelf where medicinal herbs were stored.
E Ling walked to the shelf and looked at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs there. She discovered that there were basic medicines for treating colds, as well as some for treating common injuries. She even saw herbs such as ginger, garlic, and peppercorns that could be used as spices!
Eling took out a few pieces of ginger and several other cold-relieving herbs from the groove and gave them to the old doctor. The old doctor looked at them, nodded, and signaled Eling to put these herbs into another stone pot and cook them.
The old doctor first boiled a heat-clearing medicine and fed it to the females who were having fever. After drinking the medicine, the females slowly fell asleep.
E Ling said again: "Doctor, I will go to the river outside to get some ice cubes and make ice packs for those females with fever. They will sleep more comfortably."
The old doctor thought about it and nodded in agreement.
E Ling walked out of the cabin. Yin Chen, who had been waiting at the door, heard her conversation with the old doctor and said, "It's cold outside. I'll go."
I don't know when the fine snow started to fall outside the house, and a thin layer of white snowflakes had already fallen on the silver-gray tail.
"You have to take care of the females too, you can't get sick too!"
Yin Chen added, looking at her worriedly.
E Ling thought that she would have to come back to take care of these females soon, and it would be inevitable that she would feel cold from the trip, so she nodded.
"Okay, go get me some ice from the river, break it up a bit, and put it in some small animal skin bags."
Yin Chen understood what she said and transformed into a wolf and ran towards the river.
Soon, Yin Chen came back with a few bags of crushed ice. E Ling put simple ice packs on the heads of the females with fever, and the females, who were tossing and turning due to the heat, gradually calmed down.
Another pot of cold-relieving medicine was quickly prepared. Eling asked the other two females to drink the medicine as well. After drinking the medicine, the females felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep wrapped in quilts.
Looking at E Ling who was busy taking care of the female, the old doctor gave her a look of approval.
This female has pretty good qualifications.
After finishing all these, E Ling sat at the door of the wooden house to get some fresh air. When it got a little later, several females had already woken up.
Hua Li pulled at the thick animal hide, sat up, and said uncomfortably: "Bao Zhuo, move the hide away a little. I'm sweating all over when I sleep."
Bao Zhuo stayed here for as long as Hua Li slept. He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Li, aren't you cold?"
"Much better." Although Hua Li still spoke weakly, her complexion looked much better.
At this time, several males walked into the cabin with half-cooked barbecue in their hands, and they placed the food in front of their respective females.
The person in charge of delivering the barbecue to Hua Li was a male from the Eagle tribe. His barbecue skills were obviously unskillful and the meat was either burnt or half-cooked.
He looked at Hua Li worriedly and handed the barbecue to her, "Li, are you feeling better? Eat something."
The sick female could only eat cooked food, and he had tried his best to roast the food.
Smelling the steaming barbecue, Hua Li pursed her lips, reluctantly picked up a small piece of meat and put it into her mouth. She chewed it and swallowed it like chewing wax. Then, with her cat ears drooping, she said, "It tastes so bad..."
"Li, please be patient. You can't eat raw meat when you are sick." Bao Zhuo said.
Hua Li sighed, looked at E Ling beside her, and said aggrievedly: "E Ling, can you please make me some soup? I have no appetite for these cooked meats..."
It wasn't just Hua Li who felt this way. The other females, as they ate the burnt or half-cooked barbecued meat, all had painful looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were really not used to eating these.
Besides, how can a sick female eat these?
Seeing E Ling frowning and not saying anything, Hua Li sighed and said sadly: "Is it too much trouble for you? Otherwise, forget it..."
"What kind of soup would you like?"
E Ling interrupted her monologue and looked at her.
Hua Li's cat pupils lit up instantly, "I want to eat the meatball soup you made last time! It's delicious!"
"Okay, I'll get ready."
As she spoke, E Ling looked at Hua Li's other eagle companion and said, "Could you please help me find some edible bird eggs?"
"You want to use bird eggs as food? Li can't eat raw food now." The male eagle looked at her in confusion.
"I can make it into a cooked meal. Can you please help me find some? You are an Eagle orc, so it should be quick for you to find it."
Hearing E Ling's words, Hua Li also urged: "Ying Mo, go find some. I'm starving."
After hearing this, Yingmo quickly changed into orc form and went out to look for eggs.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, E Ling asked Yin Chen to help her go outside and hunt a fresh prey. After cleaning it, she made it into minced meat. After the water boiled, E Ling put the meatballs into the pot and cooked them.
At this time, Ying Mo came back with a bird's nest full of eggs in his hand.
Wow, this is directly destroying someone’s nest.
Eling beat some eggs into the stone pot to make meatball egg drop soup, and made some eggs into egg custard and steamed it in another small stone pot.
The females who smelled the aroma dropped the unpalatable meat in their hands, came over, stared at the steaming stone pot and swallowed their saliva.
They had no appetite during the past two days of illness, and the barbecue made by the males was hard to swallow. They were already starving!
