The chief of the Guluo Tribe and the chief's wife have both prestige and influence locally.
It is said that they have a son and a daughter; the son married into a wealthy family in the city.
The daughter is young and has a weak constitution.
She is timid and rarely goes out.
This time, it's unclear why she was bitten by a mutated beast.
Lin Qin wanted to say something but felt it was inappropriate for her to speak.
Simply feeling that Gu Ningning, being so young and timid, was quite pitiful to be injured.
Su Muyao's mind flashed with an image of a very adorable little girl.
Back then, when her former self scolded her, she was so frightened she didn't dare speak and hurriedly ran away.
Su Muyao's expression softened, and before they could say more, she opened her mouth and said, "Let's go, I'll go over to take a look."
Uh...
Upon hearing Su Muyao suddenly agree, the chief and the chief's wife were taken aback.
They widened their eyes in disbelief.
When did Su Muyao become so agreeable?
When they came over desperate for help, they were prepared to kneel and beg Su Muyao if necessary.
They agreed to any condition she might put forward.
Who would have thought she'd be so accommodating?
They hadn't even had the chance to say much of what they had planned.
The chief's wife exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you very much, Miss Su."
"As long as Ningning's injury can be healed, Miss Su will be our benefactor, and we will certainly thank Miss Su properly."
Su Muyao knew the tribal leader and the chief's wife were people who kept their word.
As they said, they intended to do as promised.
Having the chief's favor would make her life in the Guluo Tribe more convenient.
The other members of the tribe wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
Of course, when her previous self was behaving arrogantly, other tribe members disliked it but didn't dare to cause trouble.
Because her beast husband was very powerful.
Su Muyao said, "Let's check the injury first and then talk about treatment!"
When she arrived at the stone house where the chief lived, Su Muyao saw a little girl inside.
The little girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen, with a round face and round eyes, quite cute.
But she looked very thin, like a bag of bones, malnourished.
At the moment, her leg wound was oozing black blood, causing her to cry silently from the pain.
The chief's wife stepped forward and said, "Ningning, don't be afraid. Miss Su has healing abilities, let her treat you."
The girl named Gu Ningning shivered instinctively when she saw Su Muyao.
Su Muyao approached gently and said, "Rest assured, it'll be alright."
For some reason, Gu Ningning felt Su Muyao's smile was warm.
She also felt a gentle breeze-like aura from her, and was momentarily distracted.
Su Muyao briefly examined Gu Ningning and then released the wood healing ability at her wound.
Soon, Gu Ningning's festering wound stopped festering, the black air was expelled, and the blood from her wound turned red.
The chief and others were stunned observing this scene.
Su Muyao said, "She's fine now. With good care for a few days, the wound will heal."
"Her wound became so infected mainly because she has a weak constitution."
The chief and wife were very appreciative of Su Muyao.
"To be honest with Miss Su, Ningning can't eat properly; she vomits after eating, and it's more likely for her to catch cold in winter."
"Without the witch doctor's medicine, Ningning wouldn't have made it this far."
Speaking of this, the chief's eyes reddened.
Su Muyao had discerned the reason for her weak constitution during her examination.
It's mainly because her spleen and stomach are too weak to digest meat food.
Without adequate nutritional intake, it's easy to be frail and sickly.
Moreover, she stays indoors long term, doesn't get sunlight, which isn't good.
Su Muyao explained, "The reason she can't eat food is that meat is hard to digest, especially raw, unsuited for the spleen and stomach."
"It's best to finely cut the meat, boil it in hot water before eating, even drinking water should be done this way..."
"And she can't stay indoors all the time; she needs to get more sunlight when it's sunny..."
The chief and others feared Gu Ningning catching a cold; they kept the house tightly sealed and dressed her in thick animal skin.
This made her even weaker.
Su Muyao conveyed some matters, and the chief and chief's wife both remembered them, expressing extreme gratitude.
The chief's wife promptly produced a bag of crystal coins and handed them to Su Muyao.
"Thank you Miss Su for treating Ningning, here are a hundred copper crystal coins, hope you don't mind."
Normally, the tribe members didn't have much in terms of crystal coins, mostly relying on bartering.
These coins were mainly for purchasing at the mutual market in the city.
These they accumulated earlier by exchanging for beast hides.
She figured compared to food, Su Muyao might prefer crystal coins.
Seeing the coins, Su Muyao's expression shifted.
Here, copper crystal coins are the most basic currency, with silver crystal coins also available.
Silent crystal coins equate to a thousand copper crystal coins.
However, these hundred copper crystal coins could buy a lot.
Su Muyao recognized this as payment for her services and accepted it without being pretentious.
When leaving, the chief's wife gave her some meat and cornmeal.
Su Muyao initially didn't want so much, considering only accepting the cornmeal, but the chief's wife was enthusiastic, so she accepted.
According to past memories, Su Muyao knew that the Beast World Continent had some civilization, where corn was abundant.
Regions with fertile land and good environments also grew some crops.
Yet, the variety of crops was very limited.
Even in places with corn cultivation, people ate it boiled, sun-dried corn was ground into powder for drinking, which many found harsh to the throat and avoided.
The tribe members preferred meat as their dietary staple.
Cornmeal was good for storage, primarily kept for surviving winter without hunger.
But Su Muyao knew it was a good thing.
Tomorrow morning, she could cook cornmeal soup.
Perhaps adding an egg and sweet potato, making corn-egg-sweet potato porridge.
Thinking of this made Su Muyao's eyes glisten with excitement; this trip was indeed fruitful.
Thinking further, Su Muyao said, "Madam, this cornmeal is actually good stuff."
"Miss Gu has a weak spleen and stomach, madam can cook some cornmeal soup for her tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Lin sighed, "I used to brew it with water, she didn't enjoy drinking it."
"Cooking it in a pot, somehow, it wasn't tasty."
"Ningning doesn't like eating it."
Upon hearing her speak, Su Muyao realized the chief's wife is not adept at cooking.
Perhaps she should cook some tomorrow morning and bring it over.
Maintaining good relations with the tribe chief would make life in the tribe smoother.
After three months, when she separates from her beast husband, she might continue living in the tribe.
She can't afford to offend so many people like she did previously; establishing relationships in advance is necessary.
Wen Nanxi, Xiao Jihan, and Hua Linye were all waiting in the courtyard to also protect Su Muyao.
Listening to her fluently converse with the chief's wife, everyone felt astonished once more.
Previously, whenever she spoke, it was sharp and biting.
When had she spoken in such a gentle tone?
During the conversation with Su Muyao, the chief's wife had completely changed her perspective, holding her hand closely, displaying evident fondness.
