Chapter 68: Xiao Hei Falls Ill

  "Yes, I just like her that way, and nothing can be exchanged. Taili Sha, I know your intentions towards me, but the one I have my eyes on is Moye'er, I want her to be my woman, so don't look for me again in the future. I'm willing to come over and talk to you alone, just to make things clear." Chuyan expressed his determination in the most straightforward language, not wanting anyone but Moye'er. This was very rare in primitive society, where a strong leader having multiple women, or when there were few women in the tribe, one woman being with multiple men was extremely common.

  "You, Chu Huo, you're going too far! I'm Taili Sha, the most beautiful woman in the tribe. How can you look down on me like that?" Taili Sha pointed at Chu Huo's nose, her chest heaving violently with anger.

  "Yes, you are the most beautiful woman in the tribe, I just like it based on my feeling."

  "Are you blind?"

  "Heh... If you insist on saying that, suit yourself." Chu Yan didn't like arguing with women, so he just gave a cold laugh and stopped talking.

  "Chu Yu, I'm asking you for the last time, do you really not want me? You should know that Nika will give you many pottery in exchange, and later the Haimu tribe will also treat your Kain clan well."

  Upon hearing this, Chu Yan shook his head even more firmly. These benefits were insignificant compared to Mo Yier.

  "Alright, Chuxi, you just wait, I'll make you regret this." Tailisha dropped the harsh words and ran away in disarray. Chuxi let out a sigh, it seemed that he had now made an enemy of Tailisha. Previously, he hadn't dared to explicitly express his liking for Tailisha because of Mo Yier. He was afraid of making an enemy of her. She was the daughter of the leader of the Haimu tribe and now also the woman of the leader of the Nibasu tribe, if things went wrong, it would mean being at odds with two tribes.

  "Chu Huo..." Mo Yier walked out from behind another tree, softly calling out to her.

  "Hmm." Chu Yan had already discovered that she was following him. As a long-time hunter, he was extremely sensitive to sounds.

  "Did you know I was eavesdropping?" Mo Yier saw that he wasn't surprised at all and felt a bit embarrassed.

  "Hehe, why aren't you sleeping? Did I wake you up?"

  "It suddenly turned cold, and I woke up." Mo Yi'er leaned in closer to Chu Yan's side, the two of them together seeming more natural now. Chu Yan's attitude just now had already made Mo Yi'er's heart tilt towards him a lot.

  Chu Yan put his arm around Mo Yuer's shoulder, his tall figure making her look even smaller, making people want to hold her in their arms and protect her. "You're afraid of the cold, let's go back quickly."

  "Hmm!"

  Back again, Mo Yi'er couldn't sleep anymore, smelling the masculine scent on Chu Yan's body, her heart racing like a drum. Is this what it feels like to be in love? When dawn broke, Mo Yi'er fell into a daze and slept, Chu Yan carried her on his back, wrapped her in animal hide, and tied her with an animal hide belt around his waist, like a moving cradle, Mo Yi'er slept very soundly inside.

  The other tribesmen took many things, and a small bag of crystal sugar could be exchanged for many things, so this time the internal fall was full of joy, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

  The return journey was filled with joy, and everyone's footsteps were much quicker than before. They saved almost a whole day of time compared to the way there. The weather got colder and colder, and Mo Yi'er seemed like she was about to hibernate, snuggled up on Chu Xiang's back, wrapped up tightly from head to toe. Chu Xiang said she looked just like a little bear, extremely adorable.

  Mo Yu'er heard this and couldn't help but pucker up her mouth to ask: "Have you hunted many bears? Are you thinking of catching me too and eating me?"

  "Ha ha, you're already caught by me now, all that's left is for me to eat you up."

  Chu Yan's words with deep meaning made Mo Yier's face turn bright red, and she whispered: "When did you also become so bad!"

  "With you by my side, it's hard not to be spoiled!"

  The soft whispers of two people, filled with a deep and lasting affection!

  When they returned to the tribe, the tribespeople still ran out to greet them. Chu Huo and several men who had gone out laughed loudly at the crowd and showed off the things they had exchanged for. But sensitive Mo Yi'er quickly discovered that everyone's emotions were not quite right, and also, Si Fen Ni and Xiao Hei hadn't come out to welcome them. Was it because of the cold weather? Impossible! Silly Si Fen Ni often didn't think to wrap Xiao Hei in a warm beast skin until he was crying 'waaah'.

  "Fan Ge, what's wrong? Where are Si Fen Ni and Xiao Hei?" Mo Yi Er asked Fan Ge, who was the first to rush over, right beside her.

  "Xiao Hei is ill, and Si Fen Ni is taking care of him." Bao Ge said in a low tone, clearly Xiao Hei's illness had worried everyone in the tribe.

  "How could he have fallen ill, I'll go take a look." Mo Yier said, ignoring the crowd as she ran back into the cave like the wind. Xī Fǎng Nī was holding Xiao Hei with tears in her eyes, and Xiao Hei was crying weakly, but his voice was very faint, like a kitten's mew. It had only been a few days since they last saw him, how could this child have become so thin?

  The child was originally big-headed and small-bodied. Xiao Hei's thinness made it even more obvious. Mo Yier looked at him with a knot in her heart. "What's going on?"

  "Mo Yu'er, you're back! You have to save my child, Kasai is beyond help and the herbs are useless, what can we do?!" Silfeny was like she had found a vent for her emotions, tears streaming down her face. Don't be fooled by her carefree nature, Xiao Hei was her child, how could she not be heartbroken?!

  "Alright, don't cry, tell me what's going on." Mo Yier furrowed her brow, the herbs in Casa were limited to begin with, and almost every illness was treated with those few herbs, so it wasn't necessarily a swim.

  "Xiao Hei has been having a fever since last night, it's very hot, we've tried many methods but they don't work, he seems to be suffering, what to do? What to do?"

  Mo Yi rubbed her slightly cool hands together and placed them on Xiao Hei's forehead, which was indeed very hot. It had been burning for almost a whole day! Good heavens! Mo Yi was shocked and hastily asked: "Are there any other symptoms, such as diarrhea or anything?"

  "No, just a fever and non-stop crying," said the Kasah chief. "Before, there was a small child who died like this. God, please don't let my child die." Sufuni wept and prayed. In this era, few children could survive safely, and Sufuni was now extremely frightened.

  "Alright, stop crying, go boil some warm water and bring a towel." The baby's fever should be physically cooled down first, Mo Yi'er wasn't sure, but there was nothing else to do now. She used the warm water to wipe down Xiao Hei's entire body, especially under his armpits, then had Sang Zhen mash up several cloves of garlic and mix in a bit of crystal sugar, letting it sit for a while before adding hot water to make Xiao Hei drink it.

  Since ginger was not found, only garlic can be used. I hope it will work. Mo Yier silently expected in her heart that this child was born under her watchful eyes, and nothing should go wrong.
