Chapter 947: Chapter 1007
Jila also seemed to be trying to appease the stubborn shaman. After all, Jila had seen the outside world and was certainly more open-minded than those who had spent their entire lives in the tribe.
The two talked for over ten minutes. Qiao Qiqi glanced at the unconscious child and said, "You’d better make a decision quickly. She is not in good condition. If you don’t use medicine to treat her, she won’t survive the night."
After Qiao Qiqi finished speaking, Jila suddenly knelt down and started speaking a string of words.
In the end, the shaman snorted and turned to leave.
Qiao Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the dagger.
Jila quickly ran back and said, "You better revive Manman, or none of you will leave here alive."
Qiao Qiqi looked at the dark-skinned girl and said, "Since I dare to say I can save her, I naturally can."
She had to thank the old man. If it were a regular surgery, she might not be able to do it, but these strange ailments were all recorded in the old man’s book! She really got lucky!
The symptoms of this little girl were detailed in the old man’s book, so it seemed the old man must have been to places like the Primitive Forest.
Qiao Qiqi went back to get her bag, while Rong Yun negotiated with Jila to release the other two people first.
Jila didn’t agree but gave them food.
Don’t be fooled by Jila’s young age; she had quite a personality. Considering the two team members were not in life-threatening danger, Rong Yun did not insist on releasing them for the time being.
When Qiao Qiqi got back to the trees, she saw a group of monkeys squatting there. The little monkey was surrounded, and when Qiao Qiqi returned, it immediately wanted her to hold it.
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
This really took her as a mother.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the group of monkeys and saw they were also injured while helping her earlier. So she took out medicine and began treating their injuries.
The monkeys were very understanding and cooperatively let her apply the medicine, knowing she was helping them.
The little monkey kept grabbing her clothes, afraid she would run away.
After applying the medication, she re-bandaged the little monkey’s leg, and once done, handed it to one of the mother monkeys.
The mother monkey immediately hugged its baby, but the little monkey was anxious and called out.
"This is your mother!" Qiao Qiqi patted the little monkey’s head. It squeaked twice but stayed quiet.
Qiao Qiqi pointed at the little monkey’s leg, then pointed at herself, and the mother monkey squeaked a few times to indicate she understood.
Qiao Qiqi picked up her bag and went back to the tribe.
The little monkey watched her leave, then turned and burrowed into its mother’s embrace, whimpering softly.
When Qiao Qiqi returned, Manman had already been sent back to the tent, and Qiao Qiqi was escorted into the tent by several people with weapons.
Jila asked her how she was going to treat Manman.
"She wouldn’t last through the night anyway. How I treat her will guarantee her recovery. Do you have any other way to save her? Just that ritual?" Qiao Qiqi realized Jila was not simple and was smart, so she was bluntly straightforward.
Rong Yun looked at his sister nervously. Qiao Qiqi gestured to him not to worry and took out a set of silver needles to start acupuncture on Manman.
"Manman is the next shaman of our tribe; she absolutely cannot be in trouble!" Jila said.
So that’s why everyone in the tribe was so anxious.
"Our tribe is matriarchal, so girls are respected." Jila wanted to explain Manman’s importance.
"Got it." After sterilizing the silver needles, Qiao Qiqi was ready to start acupuncture on Manman’s acupoints.
