Chapter 948: Chapter 1008
"Got it." Qiao Qiqi sterilized the silver needles and prepared to insert them into Manman’s acupuncture points.
"Jili gulu, jili gulu..."
Before Qiao Qiqi could start, a spear stopped her.
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
"Explain to them, you should know about acupuncture! I don’t want to waste time." Qiao Qiqi was somewhat impatient.
Laji did know about acupuncture, after all, she had been outside for a while. So she negotiated with the shaman, who then had the people back off, although his eyes remained fixed on Manman.
Because everyone in the tribe believed that Manman was the chosen one, she absolutely could not be harmed.
Rong Yun was fuming on the side; he really wanted to take his sister away from this godforsaken place as soon as possible. But seeing the little girl who was sick and near death, he knew they really should save her.
Qiao Qiqi quickly inserted the needles into Manman, and before long, Manman was turned into a little porcupine.
The sight made the shaman and Laji frown deeply.
Just then, someone came in and spoke rapidly beside the shaman, who immediately got up and left.
After Qiao Qiqi finished with the needles, she sat down and, without hesitation, said to Laji, "I’m hungry and thirsty now. Your tribe shouldn’t be so stingy with a lifesaver, right?"
"Just wait, I’ll have someone bring you food." Laji was quite speechless, she didn’t expect this pretty little woman to be so bold.
But, if she could really save Manman, she would indeed be the tribe’s lifesaver.
Because the people in the tribe believed in the chosen one, and believed that if the chosen one died, the tribe would be doomed.
That is, if Manman died, the people in the tribe would all become despondent, just waiting to die.
Soon, a lot of food was brought in, including meat and various fruits.
Rong Yun was irritated, but he didn’t want to abuse his own stomach, especially since his sister had come to such a dangerous place to save him. If he threw a tantrum and refused to eat, it would be too ungrateful to his sister.
The siblings ate and drank their fill. After Qiao Qiqi washed her hands, she removed the needles from Manman’s body. She rummaged through her bag and took out some medicine, also giving Jila some herbs to find.
Jila looked at the herbs and immediately instructed someone to fetch them.
"The tribe still has medicinal herbs?" Qiao Qiqi was quite surprised.
Jila said testily, "People in the tribe get sick too. No one knows better than the people in the tribe which herbs can save lives!"
Qiao Qiqi thought so too.
"I say, show a bit more respect. My sister is saving your people!" Rong Yun really didn’t like the attitude of the people here.
"Your sister is doing the saving, not you. She hasn’t said anything, but you’ve got plenty to say, pretty boy!" Jila made a face at him.
Rong Yun, "..."
"Brother, you’re tired too, go and rest for a bit." In fact, Qiao Qiqi was very tired too, but the child’s condition was urgent, so she had to administer the medicine before resting.
"I’m not tired, I’ll stay with you." Rong Yun didn’t want to leave his sister even for a minute.
"..."
Seeing as he insisted, Qiao Qiqi didn’t push further and focused on treating Manman.
Soon, the herbs were found, and Qiao Qiqi handed a few of her medicines to Jila, asking her to brew them together.
After all the medicine was administered to Manman, Qiao Qiqi felt her pulse, and only then did she feel relieved enough to ask to rest.
"When will Manman wake up?" Jila didn’t dare take a risk with the whole tribe, watching Qiao Qiqi warily.
