Chapter 231 Witch Hospital

After the Vine Tribe left, the tribes near the Ape Tribe all followed the movement to observe the situation.

When they saw the mountain of piled corpses, everyone was shocked.

They copied the totem pattern on the big pillar next to the corpse mountain and took it back to warn the people of their tribe not to provoke the Teng tribe in the future.

The vicious reputation of the Vine Tribe gradually spread among nearby tribes.

If these tribes encounter the Vine Tribe's fleet or the Vine Tribe's people in the future, they will definitely think carefully before taking action.



On the sixth day of October, late at night.

"Huhuhu..."

The cold wind was howling outside, but inside, Jiang Xuan was lighting a candle and drawing a new map.

After returning from the ape tribe, the weather became colder day by day, especially tonight, the wind was very strong and it was very cold.

Jiang Xuan was wearing animal skin clothing, lying in front of the table, and based on the impression in his memory, he drew the flow direction of Feiyu River, the more iconic landforms on both sides, and the tribes.

After finishing the drawing, Jiang Xuan put down the animal brush, rubbed his cold hands, and said to himself: "The map drawn like this is not accurate. It is best to take a special trip in the future and draw as you go."

He washed the paint on the animal brush and hung it up. As for the animal skin roll, it was temporarily left on the table because the paint was not dry.

Jiang Xuan yawned and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xuan got up, opened the door and took a look, only to see white snow everywhere.

A layer of white frost condensed on the treetops, roofs, and ground.

Jiang Xuan went back to the house, took out the calendar bamboo slip, and wrote a line of small words on it: October 7th, Frost Descent.

"Another winter has arrived."

Jiang Xuan put away the bamboo slips, looked at the white frost at the door, and lamented the passing of time.

He then looked at the huge divine vine in the center of the tribe. As usual, the divine vine was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see its true appearance.

On top of the sacred vines, there are more than a hundred giant dragonflies.

Before the frost, those giant dragonflies occasionally flew out and circled around. After the frost, most of those giant dragonflies were dead.

Jiang Xuan sighed slightly. Although the giant dragonfly was very large and very fierce, it could not withstand time after all.

But wait until next year, and a new giant dragonfly will appear.

Jiang Xuan simply washed up, ate something, then put on his new animal skin clothes and walked out the door.

Today is a very important day, because the Witch Hospital is finally established!

In an open space outside the bamboo forest of the rattan tribe, a mud-brick house rose from the ground.

This mud-brick house was built in the autumn, and it was put into use immediately after it was built.

The mud brick house has several rooms and a large yard, which is very spacious.

On the door of the courtyard, there is a newly carved plaque, which is engraved with three large Chinese characters in witchcraft: Wushu Hospital.

At this time, despite the cold weather, many people were busy decorating the brand new Witch Hospital in preparation for the upcoming opening ceremony of the Witch Hospital.

The Witch Hospital was promoted by Jiang Xuan as a place for healing tribal people.

At present, whether it is the Teng tribe or other tribes, almost only witches can treat doctors.

With such a large population in the tribe, illnesses and injuries are common. How could a witch alone be able to see through this?

Therefore, only those who are seriously ill or seriously injured can be treated by witches. Those who are less seriously ill or injured can only find some herbal remedies on their own.

However, many illnesses cannot be postponed, and the same goes for injuries.

Once it is delayed for a long time, a minor illness will turn into a serious illness, and a minor injury will turn into a serious injury.

Therefore, in order to allow all tribesmen to receive timely treatment for their illnesses and injuries, Jiang Xuan began to prepare for the establishment of a witch hospital very early.

He persuaded Chi Shao to lead a group of witch doctor apprentices. These apprentices did not need to have exquisite medical skills, as long as they could treat some common ailments and minor injuries.

It is worth mentioning that when Chi Shao was taking witch doctor apprentices, the old witch often taught those apprentices and enjoyed it.

Under the guidance of Chi Shao and the old witch, these witch doctor apprentices quickly learned to identify various commonly used herbs, as well as methods to treat colds, fevers and minor injuries.

They have almost learned the basics. Now, it is time for these witch medicine apprentices to continuously sum up their experience in practice and continue to learn.

They will become witch doctors in the witch hospital, specializing in treating illnesses and injuries of the Vine Tribe people.

In the witch hospital, ten witch doctor apprentices were wearing brand new animal skin clothes and with totem patterns painted on their faces, nervously and excitedly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Although the weather was cold, people were standing outside the Witch Hospital, and almost everyone from the Vine Tribe came.

A wooden platform was built at the entrance of the Witch Hospital, five meters long, three meters wide and three meters high, with several flat pieces of animal skins spread on it.

If it weren't for the lack of red silk, Jiang Xuan would have wanted to use red silk to cover the sign of the Witch Hospital, which would have a more ceremonial feel.

When the sun slowly rose, all the important personnel of the Vine tribe arrived.

The old witch stood aside and looked at the witch doctor disciples in front of the high platform with relief. He came here specially today and temporarily put aside the important work of carving a sketch of the Great Wilderness.

The old witch is a person with very noble medical ethics. His greatest wish is to carry forward the skills of witch medicine and benefit more people, instead of hiding them to himself.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao slowly climbed onto the high platform.

Jiang Xuan hoped that Chi Shao would say a few words, but Chi Shao shook his head slightly, indicating that he would speak on his own.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to nod and speak for himself.

The witches of other tribes are all eloquent liars and magic sticks. Only the witches of the Teng tribe are dedicated to doing practical things and are not good at words.

Jiang Xuan cleared his throat and started speaking.

"Today is the opening day of the Witch Hospital. I won't talk nonsense anymore. Let me talk about the purpose of establishing the Witch Hospital."

"We live in this dangerous forest, dealing with all kinds of birds, beasts, poisonous snakes and insects all day long, and getting sick, poisoned, and injured are inevitable."

"But in the tribe, the only one who can really heal diseases and injuries is Wu. How can she be so busy?"

"Our Vine tribe currently has more than 2,600 people. If we include those captives, it will be more than 3,800 people, and the population will increase in the future."

"Even if only one percent of the people are sick and injured, there will be at least dozens of people that day. Even if the witch stays awake, how many can he cure?"

Jiang Xuan's words deeply touched Chi Shao on the side and the old witch below. After becoming witches, they barely had time to rest.

Every day, he is either dealing with medicinal materials or treating diseases and injuries. Sometimes he also has to preside over major tribal affairs, record tribal history, perform sacrifices, etc., and is so busy that he never touches the ground.

Even if you work hard, you can't get everything done.

Jiang Xuan continued: "So, we need to establish a witch hospital and train more witch doctors."

"In the future, I hope that every clan member who is injured, poisoned, or sick will receive timely treatment!"

"good!"

After Jiang Xuan said these words, all the Vine tribe members were excited and cheered continuously, because the establishment of the witch hospital was related to the life of every tribe member.
