My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Chapter 123: Grandma Hong and Witch Doctor Ze

Ming led everyone along the way, stopping and walking, enjoying the mountains and rivers, and having a lot of fun. Shi Erye made up for all the regrets of the warm season and honeymoon trip.

Compared to their leisurely life, the other orcs of the Winged Tiger Tribe were not doing so well. After the complete falling out, without the leadership of Wei Gengming, the orcs suddenly became leaderless.

Finally, under the call of force, the personnel were greatly reduced. A team was barely put together and the difficult journey to the north began.

At first, the old orcs who were determined to go to the north no longer dared to follow Li and venture north without the protection of the tribe leader. Seeing this, Li breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the water priest and his family, who were still determined to go north, the other orcs backed out without Li saying anything.

The witch doctor Ze witnessed the whole farce. After seeing the joke, he returned to his own courtyard with satisfaction, humming a little tune happily. He sorted out his precious herbs. I couldn't help but give Ming a thumbs up in my heart.

"Old man Ze! What are you laughing at?" The voice of Grandma Hong came from outside the yard.

"Huh!? It's you, old woman! What's the matter? Your precious grandson beast followed the young master to the north, aren't you worried? When you have time, come visit me?" Witch Doctor Ze looked at Grandma Hong and smiled softly.

"Hey~! Following the young master, what else do I have to worry about?! Feng is already an adult, it's time for him to go out and broaden his horizons! Thank you, young master, for not despising me..."

"Yo~ Yo~ Yo~ I didn't expect that you, an old woman, are quite aware~! Hmm~? Are you really not worried? You have also seen that the young master is being scolded in the tribe now!" The witch doctor Ze took the medicinal materials from Grandma Hong's hand and asked.

"Bah! A bunch of ungrateful beasts! They only dare to do some small tricks behind the scenes that cannot be shown on the stage. They don't even consider how much their own bones weigh. How can they compare with the young master?..."

"Master witch doctor, grandma!" Before Grandma Hong finished her scolding, Ni's greeting came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh! It's Ni. I'm still looking for you! Where have you been? Didn't we agree that after your brother and my family left, you would stay with an old woman like me for a while?" Grandma Hong came forward and helped Ni take the herbs off his shoulders.

"Wow! It's quite heavy. Mud is really capable!" As he spoke, the witch doctor Ze also came to help.

"Thank you for the compliment, grandma! I also want to thank you for teaching me how to identify herbs! Otherwise, how would I know them?" Ni said a little embarrassedly because of the compliment.

"Hmm~! Yes, these herbs are clean and tidy. I can tell from the fact that you spent a lot of effort to pick them. Little female, what do you want to exchange for?" The witch doctor Ze asked while sorting out the herbs brought by Ni with satisfaction.

"As long as you are satisfied, witch doctor, I still have the ointment that I exchanged with you before at home. I will come again when my brother comes home and exchange it with you!" Ni replied respectfully.

"Yeah, sure. I'll remember that."

"Eh? What's wrong with your arm?" Granny Hong saw the scar on Ni's arm with her sharp eyes and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a minor injury. Maybe I accidentally scratched myself while picking herbs.

"You're lying! Tell me the truth. What's going on? Not to mention that your brother entrusted you to me before he left. Based on our relationship, I have long regarded you as my own granddaughter. Tell me, don't hide it!" Grandma Hong asked with both heartache and anger.

"Grandma~!" Ni, who had never felt the love of her elders since she was a child, couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing what Grandma Hong said. She tried to hold back her excitement and hugged Grandma Hong. "It's okay! Grandma, don't worry! In my heart, I always regard you as my dear grandma!"

"Ah~!" Looking at the sensible Ni, Grandma Hong couldn't help but sigh. "You! You are just too kind. I tell you, this is not okay..."

"Don't say anything yet, you should help Niu Yatou to apply the medicine first." Witch Doctor Ze took out a box of ointment and handed it to Grandma Hong. "Hey~ I specially prepared the ointment. After applying it, it will not only reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but also heal quickly. It can also ensure that there will be no scars on your arm!" Witch Doctor Ze boasted.

"Give it to me! You didn't even know there was medicine. You should have taken it out earlier. You are such a slouch!"

"Grandma~~" Ni carefully pulled the corner of Grandma Hong's clothes. Awkwardly, he smiled at the witch doctor Ze. He was afraid of offending the witch doctor. You know, in the tribe, the witch doctor's status is second only to the tribe leader.

The witch doctor Ze smiled and said it was okay. Granny Hong rolled her eyes at him in anger. She said nothing more and applied the medicine to the mud carefully and attentively.

"I heard from Hong that Ni is a good cook. It's already afternoon. Haven't you eaten yet? I have meat and vegetables in my kitchen. Can you help us make some food?" Seeing that Ni had already applied the ointment, the witch doctor Ze looked at her with a smile and asked.

"Ah?... Oh! Of course... Of course! I'll go right away!" Although Ni felt that something was wrong, she didn't dare to offend the witch doctor Ze. She hurried to the kitchen.

"Hey~ Hey~ Mud..."

"Hey, hey, stop being so muddy. Come and help me pick up these herbs!" The witch doctor Ze stopped Grandma Hong and said.

"You old man, you are such a bad guy! Can't you see that you are injured? I haven't..."

"Nothing yet? Haven't you found the murderer yet? I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry!"

"Hey~!" Grandma Hong lowered her head and started helping the witch doctor Ze to organize the herbs.

"You! Don't be discouraged. I think you should not stay in the tribe now. I have an empty room here. You and the little girl should stay here for a while! Wait for the tribe leader and the young master to return triumphantly. It won't be too late for you to go back!"

"Live here!?" asked the red old lady in a sharp voice?

"Shh! Keep your voice down! I'm not deaf yet!"

"How can that be possible!?" Grandma Red also lowered her voice and refused.

"Why not? Look at the girl today. She wouldn't tell us if she encountered any problems. It's still a while before they can go home. Are you living in fear every day? The little girl is still young and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. I think you know the morals of the orcs in the tribe best!" The witch doctor Ze advised with good intentions.

Granny Hong stopped her hand movements and fell into deep thought. It must be said that every word of Witch Doctor Ze was analyzed very accurately. It didn't matter that she was the only old woman. But now... Hey! "You're right, I'll tell Ni Yatou later." Granny Hong compromised.

"Okay!" After knowing each other for decades, witch doctor Ze still compromised for the first time when he saw Grandma Hong. He was very happy. Thinking of her losing her husband and son and raising Sun Shou alone. No matter how hard or tired she was, she was unwilling to accept his help. He couldn't help but feel distressed.

She was like a snow lotus on a high mountain. Not afraid of the wind and snow, she endured it alone and bloomed silently. This time, he finally had the chance to protect her, and he must seize it. Thinking of this, the witch doctor Ze couldn't help but speed up his movements!
