23: Chapter 23 Meng Ze 23: Chapter 23 Meng Ze Editor: Henyee Translations He scooped up Su Tang and bolted towards Meng Ze’s cave.
“I’m carrying you like this because it’s faster!” He explained earnestly.
Su Tang obediently nestled in Gaiyin’s arms, her cheeks flushed bright red!
She kept reminding herself that he was only doing this to save his tribespeople quicker, she mustn’t overthink!
…
In just the span of two breaths, they arrived at Meng Ze’s cave.
Upon seeing them, Yuanyuan who was busy wiping Meng Ze’s body immediately became excited!
“Tangtang!
Come quick, look at Meng Ze.
I have been wiping him down, but he is still really hot!”
Gaiyin calmly set Su Tang down.
“Gaiyin, can you wash these herbs clean?
Please hurry!”
After Gaiyin left with the herbs, Su Tang examined Meng Ze’s injuries.
It was the same, the heat was due to an inflammation from his wound.
She hadn’t found any anti-inflammatory herbs in the forest, but the heat had to be lowered, thus she had to come back.
With a worried look, but afraid to disturb Yuanyuan, Su Tang reassured them with a comforting smile.
“It’s okay!
We’ll first bring down the heat, I promise, Meng Ze will be fine, okay?”
Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, “Okay!
Tangtang, I trust you!”
Yet as she spoke, the tears streamed down her face uncontrollably!
Meng Ze weakly raised his hand and gently wiped Yuanyuan’s tears, “Don’t cry, I’m fine!”
Hearing those soothing words, made Yuanyuan cried even harder!
“Ugh!
Meng Ze, I’m so scared!
Don’t leave me alone to meet Beast God!
I promise to be obedient from now on!”
Meng Ze bit his lip, raised his hand and patted Yuanyuan’s head, “Didn’t you say you will behave?
Then stop crying.
It hurts even more when you cry!”
Su Tang’s nose also started to sting, she took a deep breath and said, “Yuanyuan stop crying, if your tears drop on the wound, it might worsen the situation!”
Upon hearing these words, Yuanyuan immediately stopped crying.
“Okay, I won’t cry!
I won’t cry!”
Su Tang sighed lightly, stood up, emptied all the chestnuts from her bag to the ground, then she took off her coat and handed it to Yuanyuan.
“Yuanyuan, can you wash this clean?
We will use it to bandage Meng Ze’s wound!”
Yuanyuan hesitated for a bit.
“But it’s Tangtang’s coat…”
Su Tang waved her hand, “It’s fine.
Go on.
If we don’t have clean fabric for the bandage, the wounds will be difficult to heal.”
Yuanyuan sniffed and said, “Okay!
Tangtang, don’t worry!
After Meng Ze recovers, I will make sure he sends you a couple of Fire Fox Beast pelts!”
Su Tang smiled sweetly, “Alright, hurry up!
When you finish washing it, dry it near the fire before using it!”
After Yuanyuan left, only Su Tang and Meng Ze remained in the cave.
“Su…
Tang, are you a doctor?”
Su Tang nodded, “Hmm, sort of, I studied medicine, but you are my first patient!”
Meng Ze cocked his head, his face was unnaturally flushed from the heat.
“Our tribe doesn’t have a doctor.
I don’t know how you ended up in our tribe, but I assure you we will treat you well.
Can you stay?”
Su Tang was not clever, but she understood Meng Ze’s concerns.
She nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I got separated from my tribe and can’t find my way back.
I suppose I’ll have to stay here from now on!”
It seemed like Meng Ze had heard the sense of loss in Su Tang’s tone, so he quietly comforted her, “The people in our tribe are very friendly!
Don’t worry!”
