Arrival

Jian Mo hesitate.

Upon seeing this, the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe quickly helped comfort the Fen Hui.

"We haven't gone to see it yet, so nobody can say for sure."

"People from more than a dozen nearby tribes have inquired around, and everyone says there's nothing they can do except for that witch doctor. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"We've never seen a disease like yours here, but maybe people over there have."

Fen Hui's face turned ashen again. "It's just a possibility? Could he be like that witch doctor Lian Ke, a fraud?"

Wan Zheng said seriously, "But it's also possible that it's true?"

Fen Hui shook his head bitterly. "I've never even heard of the Stored Star Tribe you mentioned. I can't walk anymore, and I don't know how many days I have left to live. Rather than go through all that trouble and die on the road, I'd rather bask in the sun for a few more days. At least sunbathing here doesn't hurt."

Jian Mo patted him. "It's not that you're not in pain anymore, it's just that you can't feel the pain after taking the pain-relieving leaves. The painkillers might not work later on either."

Fen Hui: "Anyway, I've been sick for so long, and this is the only time I'm not in pain."

Fen Hui lowered his head and wiped away his tears. "Everyone says there's nothing that can be done, even you, Doctor Jian Mo, say there's nothing that can be done. I don't believe there's a doctor with better medical skills than you."

Jian Mo tightened her voice and said seriously, "Don't say that. You're still young; you might be able to pull through."

Fen Hui's complexion and eye color were abnormal, and his hair was dry and yellow, making him look older than he was.

In reality, he was about the same age as Ban Ming and his classmates.

Jian Mo felt extremely regretful every time she thought about this.

Jian Mo comforted Fen Hui, "You should discuss it with your Haizuo Tribe first. I'm also thinking of a solution. It's not time to give up yet. I won't give up, and neither should you."

Fen Hui tears fell again, and she wiped them away with the back of her hand. "Okay."

Chapter 169 Arrival

In the evening, Jian Mo was feeding Jiujiu.

Perhaps sensing Jian Mo's bad mood, while eating jerky, Jiujiu suddenly looked at Jian Mo with its two big, round eyes and nuzzled him with its head. "Chirp?"

Jian Mo looked up and saw its eyes full of concern. Even though she was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but laugh, "You little rascal."

Jian Mo rubbed Jiujiu's head and then pinched its ear. "I'm fine."

Jiujiu, nuzzling against Jian Mo's chest.

Jiujiu snuggled down, turned its head to look at its own back, then at Jian Mo, as if gesturing for Jian Mo to come up.

Jian Mo: "Where are you taking me? Wait, I haven't got the reins yet."

Jiujiu wouldn't let him go, so it clung to Jian Mo's sleeve and wouldn't let go. "Chirp."

Jian Mo looked into its eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay."

Jian Mo obediently climbed onto Jiujiu's back.

Jiujiu carried Jian Mo on its back, tilted its head back and swallowed the jerky in its mouth, then took a few steps in place, flapped its large wings and flew up.

The autumn wind in the evening was cool and strong, blowing against people, making clothes rustle and hair fly.

Jian Mo's eyelashes were ruffled by the wind, and she couldn't help but squint.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the entire landscape of the tribe: rivers, grasslands, forests, snow-capped mountains, sunsets, and the territories of other tribes—everything was before his eyes.

Jiujiu still felt it wasn't high enough, so it flapped its wings and flew higher into the sky.

Even with Jian Mo's current physical condition, he still felt a bit cold in such a windy and high-altitude environment, but despite the cold, he was in a very cheerful mood.

Jian Mo couldn't help but open her mouth and scream, "Ah--"

Jiujiu joined him in yelling, "Jehovah--"

Jiujiu is a bit chubby, and its voice is rather clear and crisp. It doesn't have the majestic and domineering aura of an adult chirp at all, but is instead exceptionally cute.

Jian Mo hugged its neck. "Don't yelp, come here, chirp--"

Jiujiu: "Jeh!"

Jian Mo: "Chirp!"

Jiujiu: "Jeh--"

Jian Mo: "Chirp--"

Jian Mo's throat was dry from shouting, but Jiujiu didn't stop chirping. Instead, he kept chirping for a long time, and then he couldn't help but laugh after he realized what was happening.

Jiujiu carried him into the sky, almost dancing with the sunset.

The setting sun shone on the evening glow, reflecting a different kind of light that made Jian Mo's eyes hurt.

The scenery of this world is so magnificent. If it weren't for Jiujiu, Jian Mo probably would never have had the chance to see this land from this perspective in his entire life.

Jian Mo hugged Jiujiu's neck and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The Jiujiu stopped and led him to circle around this land.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Jian Mo's hands were a little stiff from the cold.

He patted Jiujiu's neck and shouted in Jiujiu's ear, "Jiujiu, let's go back, the sun has set, it's getting dark."

Jiujiu chirped, flapping its wings and tilting its body downwards: "Chirp--"

Once they landed on the ground, Jian Mo slid off Jiujiu and looked around before realizing that Wu Jiong had been riding Ying'ao and following behind them at some point.

Jian Mo turned to Wu Jiong and smiled, "I have something I want to tell you."

Wu Jiong: "I guessed it, you want to take the Fen Hui to the Stored Star Tribe?"

Jian Mo nodded.

Wu Jiong came over to warm his hands, rubbed them together, and blew a breath into them. "Let's go together. People are more important than supplies."

Jian Mo's eyes stung a little. "How did you know what I was thinking?"

Wu Jiong: "Otherwise, how could we be partners?"

After a pause, Wu Jiong added, "It's just a few days' waste, it doesn't matter. We stockpiled supplies so we could waste them now."

Jian Mo nodded. "Okay."

Wu Jiong: "I'll talk to the Haizuo Tribe; they should agree."

Jian Mo: "I think so too. Fen Hui's body probably can't withstand a long journey. I want Jiujiu to carry him, and we'll go together."

Wu Jiong: "Of course, I'll take him."
