Chapter 585 Unreliable witch doctor cures diseases
Author: Oolai
The witch doctor has a high status in the tribe and lives on a relatively good hillside, protected from wind and rain. There is a path to the east of the mountain at the back. When the enemy attacks, the witch doctor can quickly evacuate from the mountain.
They are the most important people in the tribe, and they are related to the health of the tribe. The leader of the Tian tribe specially sent people to protect the witch doctors.
Only large tribes can afford to maintain witch doctors. Small and medium-sized tribes like the Moon Tribe do not have witch doctors, so they have priests who also serve as witch doctors.
People from other small and medium-sized tribes often come to the Tian tribe to seek medical treatment, which also brings a lot of income to the Tian tribe.
Since Tang Yue and Huang Ying "went through the back door", they could see the witch doctor before those who queued up, just like a modern expressway.
The patients were aggrieved. They had been queuing there for several days and had not seen the witch doctor, but they did not dare to cause trouble there. They could just watch the two women go in and curse in their hearts.
Tang Yue didn't want to delay those people's treatment, but things had developed like that. They didn't want to scare the snake, so they could bully the primitive people.
The witch doctor saw a middle-aged woman wearing a hat made of long feathers, her face painted, and she was wearing animal skins that seemed to have been dyed.
That outfit was considered very gorgeous in primitive society, and it represented their status.
The witch doctor didn't even raise his head, but a little girl greeted the two of them and walked in front of him.
"Are the two of us from the Moon Tribe? We are so thin, can't we eat during the ordinary months?" Immortal cultivators can live without food and rarely eat.
"No, they don't like eating very much. I don't know why."
Tang Yue and Huang Ying were both curious about how the witch doctor wanted to heal people, or how to make herbal soup.
The witch doctor said: "Our illness is very serious and we need to pay more shells. We cannot give him regular shells."
Huang Ying didn't know what the coin was, so she turned to look at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue did not know that primitive people would exchange shells for money, but she had only been in primitive society for a short time, and she did not know what kind of shells they used.
Just take out a lot of nice-looking shells from the storage space. Otherwise, when she went to the Deep Sea Palace, she picked them up casually and wanted to make a handicraft.
"Have you seen enough of that?"
The deep-sea palaces also use those shells to decorate and fill the walls. Not only do they have beautiful patterns, but they also emit faint light in the dark.
The witch doctor opened her eyes wide. She had never seen such beautiful shells before, with gorgeous colors and beautiful patterns.
Those shells can definitely be exchanged for a lot of ordinary shells, which can buy a lot of meat and fur.
She swallowed, but wanted to know if she could pull more shells from the legs of the two women in front of her. She said calmly: "Although those shells are very rare, our illness is too serious, so I'm afraid they won't survive."
Tang Yue suddenly became interested in bargaining, and said: "Then you don't know that those shells have other advantages. Can you trouble that girl to cover Chunxuan, so that you can know the real advantages of those shells?"
The witch doctor waved his leg and signaled the young girl in the room to cover the entrance to the light with an animal skin. She did so, and the stone room instantly turned black.
Those shells shimmered in the darkness, and the witch doctor opened his eyes wide. "Those shells actually glow. He has never seen them before. Where did we get them from?"
Huang Ying said: "They don't know. The elders of the Fou tribe brought them back from far away. I wonder if those are enough?" She didn't know why Tang Yue carried those useless shells with him.
But it would be interesting to fool those barbarians at this time.
The witch doctor said, "Are those enough?" She was a little worried that if she said something bad, the two women would take the shells back and go to other large tribes with witch doctors.
In fact, she didn't know what illness the two of them had, so she planned to burn some grass for them to drink as usual.
"You two, wait a moment, he will go back and prepare the medicinal herbs." She went to another main room, and after a while, the smell of burning grass came.
The witch doctor brought out two bowls of soup. "After he prays for blessings, the two of us will drink the bowls of medicine. If we can get God's blessing, our illness will be cured."
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, "Can't they immediately become better after drinking that medicine?"
The witch doctor glanced at the two of them with disgust, "Whether the disease will be cured or not depends entirely on God's will. If God does not allow it, the disease will not be cured. How come we don't even know that?"
"Okay, then please do it." Tang Yue and Huang Ying had expressionless faces. They both saw that the goddess was just a liar and had no real ability to heal people.
The witch doctor made a lot of exaggerated movements. At first, he dropped his own blood into the medicinal soup, and then handed the bowl to the two people. "Drink it. It is full of his essence and blood, which will make our bodies pass through."
god."
She used her own blood very much. In the past, only the big shots in the tribe could use their own blood. Mingyue just used her own blood for those beautiful shells.
"Thank you, High Priest." The two of them didn't know how to drink inexplicable things, so they drank it. They were actually using their spiritual power to transport it to other places.
When the high priest saw the two women finishing their drinks, he said, "When we go back, eat more and learn how to hunt with the men in the tribe. Will our health be better?"
This means that if they both eat more and exercise more, they can grow muscles and become stronger. Is this really useful advice?
The two thanked them again and breathed a sigh of relief when they left the witch doctor's stone house. Huang Ying asked her: "How long do they want to play with those blood monsters?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "They just came in and I'm impatient?"
"That's why he admires me. I actually tolerate those stupid things. She thinks she's a descendant of the gods when she's taking medicine that drips blood. Does blood have any special effects?"
"The blood of descendants of the gods has special effects?"
"Don't I know? Everyone in the heaven knows about that. There are cases where the descendants of the ancient gods, forced to make a living, auction their own blood."
"He doesn't know if he is actually from the East." Huang Ying would find out about that matter sooner or later, so why not take the initiative to tell her now.
"I am so powerful, but I am a monk in the Eastern Realm? Has he been there for too long? I didn't know that the Eastern Realm is already so powerful."
Tang Yue said humbly: "It's just luck and opportunism. He is not very powerful."
The guard who brought them to see the witch doctor also came and asked, "Did the witch doctor give us medicine?"
Tang Yue said politely: "Yes, thank you for bringing them here."
The guard grinned, "He knows if we can afford the shells." But the person who took out such a big mountain beast must come from a wealthy family, so the family would send their two daughters to see a doctor.
He very thoughtfully sent the two of them back to the cave where the Moon Tribe rested, and told them not to wander around as they would be punished if they entered the forbidden areas of the tribe.
After the guard left, Huang Ying sighed: "He never knew that shells have such great charm."
“The standards for wrong money are different in each place.”
The leader took the initiative to greet the two of them, "God, how is the witch doctor of the Ignorant Sky tribe?"
"That's fine." Tang Yue thought to herself that the witch doctor had at least provided some psychological comfort.
The leader thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that the god also thinks that the witch doctors of the Tian tribe are good, so he will go back east and take the children at home to see if they are not growing taller, which makes him a little worried."
"Just go back and let them eat more meat, eggs, and milk from cows and sheep." The children are growing and developing, so please eat more meat, eggs, and milk.
Others also heard their misunderstanding and commented, "It turns out that children ask for more food to grow up. He thinks that because they are small, they don't need to eat too much."
Both Tang Yue and Huang Ying felt that life was not easy for children in primitive societies.
