The Prescription

One of the people from the Stored Star Tribe came out and quickly examined him. "Your illness is quite serious. Is it a problem with your liver or gallbladder?"

Jian Mo was surprised that so many people could spot the problem, and quickly nodded, "I suspect so, but we haven't figured out the specific reason yet."

The man said, "It's probably a liver or gallbladder problem. We've seen many cases like this. Wait a moment, my teacher went out to treat patients and won't be back until around evening. Come with me, have something to eat and some water, and rest for a bit."

As he spoke, the man gently patted the Fen Hui: "The teacher will be back soon, hang in there a little longer, don't be afraid."

Fen Hui probably hadn't expected that someone would actually be able to save him. His eyes welled up with tears again, and he opened his slightly chapped lips, softly saying, "Thank you."

The man smiled, his eyes crinkling into a smile, "You're welcome."

Chapter 170 Prescription

The sub-beastman who led them to their settlement was named Xing Jiu.

Xing Jiu's voice was gentle, his attitude friendly, and he spoke in a leisurely, storytelling style. "In our Stored Star Tribe, everyone's name begins with 'Xing' (Star)."

Jian Mo: "It sounds great."

Xing Jiu's eyes crinkled again. "Your names are all very beautiful, especially yours, it sounds very unique."

Xing Jiu didn't seem nervous at all, Jian Mo and the others relaxed as well.

We chatted the whole way.

Xing Jiu surprisingly said, "Actually, we've heard of you before. Your name is so unique; we knew it was you as soon as we heard it."

Jian Mo's eyes widened in surprise. "You've actually heard of this place, even though it's so far away?"

Xing Jiu smiled and nodded, "My teacher usually pays great attention to learning from the local shamans, collecting prescriptions and treatments. We heard before that you can open people's stomachs to perform treatments, so we wanted to go and see you."

As she spoke, Xing Jiu sighed, "It's a pity that the teacher is too old, and we have too many patients to leave right away, otherwise we would have met long ago."

Jian Mo: "It's not too late to meet now."

Xing Jiu agreed, "It's still fate."

Xing Jiu led them to one of the houses among a row of stone houses. "You can stay here for now. If you want water, you can fetch some from the well outside. This house is specifically for patients and their families, so it's fine if you stay a little longer."

Jian Mo quickly expressed their gratitude.

Xing Jiu added, "You can sleep here for a while. The bedding inside is clean. Every time someone uses it, we collect the bedding, boil it in a big pot, and then wash and dry it. Don't worry."

Xing Jiu finished explaining, he left for the time being.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong first took the Fen Hui to rest, and then went into the room that had been specially assigned to them.

The small stone house, with its canopy bed and outward-opening windows, looks quite tidy.

Jian Mo lay exhausted on the bed. "The Stored Star Tribe seems quite wealthy!"

Wu Jiong touched his forehead. "This old tribe, located in the center of the community, is indeed wealthy. We've finally arrived, you should rest for a bit."

Jian Mo was still in her developmental stage and was indeed finding it difficult to hold on any longer, so she turned her head and rubbed her face against Wu Jiong's hand. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."

Wu Jiong softened his voice. "Okay."

Jian Mo slept until the afternoon.

When Wu Jiong woke him up and told him that Xing Yi had returned, he was still a little dazed.

After waking up briefly on the bed, Jian Mo finally realized that the old witch doctor had returned.

Wu Jiong handed him a jar of water. "The person is outside now, Fen Hui have also been taken out."

Jian Mo gulped down several mouthfuls of water, wiped her mouth to clear her head, and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

Wu Jiong: "Don't rush, Fen Hui has only just left."

Jian Mo was eager to see a real witch doctor here, so he couldn't help but get up, find his shoes, put them on, and dragged Wu Jiong outside.

Fen Hui sat outside the house, with an old orc in a white robe standing in front of him.

The old orc was not tall, but very old, with gentle features and a kind appearance.

Jian Mo made a noise when she opened the door, and everyone turned to look at them.

The old orc asked with a smile, "Witch Doctor Jian Mo awake?"

Jian Mo understood immediately. "Witch Doctor Xing Yi?"

Xing Yi nodded. "It's me."

Jian Mo Wu Jiong over and stood to the side. "Can we watch?"

Xing Yi smiled again, "Of course."

Xing Yi stood in front of Fen Hui, carefully examining his face, skin, and eyes, and then asked him to lift his animal skin robe to look at his belly.

After observing for a while, Xing Yi said, "It seems the liver has hardened a bit. Look, and there's also ascites."

Fen Hui's belly was indeed slightly bulging, but someone who wasn't looking closely might not have noticed the unusual feature.

Jian Mo looked closely. "That's right, you have excellent eyesight."

Xing Yi said, "What symptoms correspond to what diseases? Our predecessors have summarized these; by gradually comparing and eliminating possibilities, we can rule out the disease."

Jian Mo nodded in agreement.

Xing Yi carefully examined the Fen Hui in human form, then asked him to transform back into beast form, "Can you still transform now? Let's take another look in beast form, so we can get a more accurate assessment and prescribe the medicine more easily later."

Fen Hui dared not object at all, nodding beside him. "It can be transformed."

Xing Yi gently patted his arm. "No rush, we'll take it slow."

Fen Hui: "Thank you, Witch Doctor Xing Yi."

Xing Yi helped Fen Hui to his feet and removed the chair from under him. "Come on."

Jian Mo quickly steadied the other side, while Wu Jiong took the chair from Fen Hui's hands and carried it back into the house.

Fen Hui was so ill that he could barely stand, and it was difficult for him to transform back into his beast form, but he still managed to transform back into his beast form in front of them.

The people of the Haizuo Tribe possess various animal forms and are a mixed-dwelling tribe.
