Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother
Chapter 54 Two Patients
After seeing this, Xu Weiwei wanted to cry even more. He was so miserable, but he still wanted to make me laugh.
Everyone talked with Ganz for about ten minutes, and then the priest couldn't help but send them away: "Alright, you can leave now after you've seen it. My room is small, and it will only delay things if so many people are crowded here."
So everyone except Xifus and Xu Weiwei left. Xifus put Xu Weiwei on the bed and waited outside the door.
Gantz moved aside to make some room for Xu Weiwei. Now both of them were patients.
Seeing the priest take out another set of needles, Ganz said with great resistance: "Didn't we just have it injected this morning? Why do you want to inject it again?"
God knows how scared he was yesterday when he saw such a long needle being inserted into his body. Although he miraculously discovered that it didn't hurt much, it was still scary to watch.
"It's not for you, it's for her."
"My sister also needs an injection?!" Ganz said in surprise, and then looked at Xu Weiwei with eyes full of sympathy.
When the priest inserted the needle, Ganz was grinning. Taohua couldn't help teasing him: "I didn't prick you, why are you so expressive?"
"Is it not okay for me to feel bad for my sister?"
"Do they need you to take their place? My sister is much braver than you. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She was so scared that she couldn't even look and buried her head in the chief's arms." Taohua said with a smile.
Ganz was so embarrassed that he could not speak coherently. He said, "I, that's... She wasn't scared because she couldn't see anything while lying there. If she saw a needle that long, she would definitely cry!"
"Okay." Taohua was too lazy to expose him.
Ganz thought he was an experienced "senior", but he forgot that Xu Weiwei had already started acupuncture a few days before him, and was eager to share his experience: "Wei'er, don't be afraid, it just looks scary, but it doesn't hurt at all..."
"Hey! Don't look there! Look at your brother." Ganz put his hands over Xu Weiwei's eyes to block them, as if she wouldn't feel the pain as long as she couldn't see the needle.
After the acupuncture treatment, Ganz kept chattering to attract Xu Weiwei's attention. He was obviously in great pain and retched from time to time. His injured hand hung next to Xu Weiwei's head.
Xu Weiwei gently touched the exposed part of Ganz's finger. The originally normal knuckle was now swollen and transparent, and had a dark purple tint.
Ganz's chattering stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at Xu Weiwei's actions.
After touching it twice, Xu raised his head slightly and looked at Gantz, as if asking, "Does it hurt?"
Ganz rubbed his nose with his good hand and comforted him, "Brother, it's okay. It just started to hurt, but now I don't feel it at all."
Ganz felt that Xu Weiwei was different from all the children he had met before. She was special... special... Ganz didn't know how to describe it. He couldn't put the feeling into words.
The little babies are very cute and can easily arouse Ganz's desire to protect them, giving him a sense of accomplishment in taking care of others. However, only Xu Weiwei gave him emotional feedback, making him feel that his care was seen and recognized by his "little brother".
Although Gantz still couldn't figure this out, he knew that his sister cared about him. This realization was enough to make him happy, and he even felt that being bitten was worth it.
Xu Weiwei looked at Ganz's inexplicable giggle and couldn't help but worry: Is this child okay? Could the snake venom have invaded his brain?
"Okay, let's get dressed."
After pulling out the last needle, Taohua was about to put clothes on Xu Weiwei, but was stopped by the priest. Almost two weeks had passed since the first day, and the original rich and bright golden totem on Xu Weiwei's body had faded to the point where it was almost invisible. The priest planned to put on new ones today.
He continued to draw along the locations of the meridians and acupoints, while Taohua watched and learned from the side.
Gantz suddenly thought of their trip yesterday. They were originally going to dig Ula grass, but because he was bitten by a snake, the trip ended in vain and they didn't dig up a single plant.
"Priest, do you have much left? Is it enough for my sister?"
The old woman found it funny: "Why? If it's not enough, you're going to use your own pig's trotter to dig it for me? You're so worried at such a young age."
Gantz: "..." I experienced early on what it felt like to "meet the person you most want to protect when you are most powerless."
Sifos also asked this question during dinner that night.
The chief told him not to worry, after all, he had some privileges. Today during the day, the tribesmen brought over all the old Ula grass they dug. They were supposed to hand it in yesterday in the valley, but because they left early, they collected it together and sent it to their home in the morning.
"Aren't you worried that someone might hide it?" asked Seaforth.
"It's useless to keep it privately. Its color is too obvious and can be seen at a glance. And there is no need for them to keep it privately. If they have an emergency and need old herbs for medicine, the priests will give them directly. If there is not enough, they can come to get more."
Sifos was even more confused: "What's the point of handing it in like this?"
The chief sighed, "The Ula grass of a good year is not that precious. It is impossible for tens of thousands of people in our tribe to be seriously ill at the same time, so it is completely sufficient. But it is common, and it is far from enough for everyone to have one. If no one has it, then no one will have any objections. But once I have it and you don't, then there will be problems."
The reason for such restrictions is the lessons learned by the previous chiefs with their blood. When someone finds something that has a miraculous effect of curing diseases and saving lives, out of the importance of life and the fear of future disasters, they will definitely want to have it in case of emergency, and the more they have, the stronger their sense of security.
This led to the situation where Ula grass was almost dug to extinction. The funny thing is that many people didn't even have the chance to use it until its medicinal effects wore off.
That's why we have to have such a regulation.
Sifos nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Do we not have to go again later?"
The eldest prince Gan Li took over the conversation: "We do want to go, but there is not much point in going. After yesterday's wave, almost all the fruits that can be picked have been picked. If we miss it, we can only pick up what others have left. Even if we go, it is very likely that we will spend a lot of effort to get little results."
They also wanted to go, although they kept a lot of old Ula grass, but they couldn't use it at will, and they used more ordinary Ula grass in daily life, which could repel mosquitoes, be made into incense, and be dried as spices, and put a little in cooking. It's not appropriate to use old grass for these things, one is too wasteful, and the other is that the medicinal power is too strong.
"If Mr. Sifos wants to go, let Gan Li and Gan Yi accompany you. Maybe you will gain something." said the chief.
