Tiger Tribe XIII
Mu felt that his past beliefs had begun to collapse, and the long-standing grievances and hatred he had toward the tribe seemed ironic to him now.
The arrogant female who had always delighted in insulting him is actually collecting herbs for his sake and disregarding the dangers. And Qi, who had indifferently accompanied them, was also quietly helping Ah Yu collect the herb.
How could he keep on hating them?
Mu was suddenly shocked by this revelation.
"Ah! I momentarily forgot," the doctor opened his mouth awkwardly. "Ah Yu just came by and told me I couldn"t tell you that he was collecting the herb for you. I was so excited that I forgot about that."
The smile on the doctor"s face became somewhat unnatural because of his guilty conscience. "You must not tell him. Just pretend that I didn"t say anything and that you don"t know anything either. Do you understand?"
Mu dumbly nodded his head.
The doctor was satisfied. "Then go back home and remember to come again in three days. There"s enough golden thorn gra.s.s for a month, so you won"t have to go and collect it anytime soon. So take good care of yourself this month. Don"t let this herb go to waste."
"I understand!"
The doctor suddenly paused and thought for a moment. "There is one more thing you need to know. There are many herbs needed to treat you. In addition to the golden thorn gra.s.s, there are twelve other herbs that are used. I can use what I have for you now, but because these herbs are collected by all the people in the tribe, I can"t use them all on you. I can make enough medicine for this month, but afterward, you need to collect the rest as well with Ah Yu." There was a hint of an apology on the doctor"s face.
Usually, this kind of thing wouldn"t be an issue. If someone was hurt, then the doctor would treat them. But because Mu did not contribute to the tribe, the doctor couldn"t selfishly use the herbs that everyone had collected on Mu.
"I know, Uncle, don"t worry."
He was already very grateful that the doctor had prepared the medicine for him. How could he accept his help and then allow the doctor to find the herbs for his own medicine?
"Good," the doctor of the tribe rubbed his head with relief. "Then you can go back. Remember to come again in three days."
Mu nodded his head. Before leaving, he kneeled on the floor and put both hands on his forehead. This was the tribe"s most respectful gesture.
After he stood up, Mu did not speak again, and turned and left.
At this time, the doctor could not help tearing up.
Ah Qi pa.s.sed away early and also brought so much suffering to Mu.
Jiang Yu had been very confused recently.
He had started to notice that Mu looked at him strangely. The murderous, come-over-here-so-I-can-skin-you-and-rip-you-apart gaze had disappeared, and in its place was an extremely preoccupied gaze.
Don"t ask me what that preoccupied gaze means. Jiang Yu knows that Mu"s perplexed. What else do you expect from him?
Now every time Jiang Yu asks Mu to collect herbs with him, Mu will follow him silently and gloomily, as if he were a ghost.
Jiang Yu felt that something was indescribably strange. He often felt that Mu was watching him, but when he looked, he would discover that Mu was far away. When he suspiciously turned away, Jiang Yu would feel those complicated and deep eyes on his back again.
After this happened several times, Jiang Yu felt that it must have been an illusion. He was extremely uncomfortable when he was together with Mu. In the past, he could put on an arrogant, unreasonable att.i.tude, and Mu would become very angry and refuse to speak to him. But when Jiang Yu tried to do that now, Mu just looked at him deeply, and then silently did what Jiang Yu ordered.
Jiang Yu swore that it was really creepy. n.o.body would be able to stand this unexpected response!
Over time, Jiang Yu gave up, and couldn"t summon up that unreasonable, demanding att.i.tude anymore. Every time he spoke to Mu, he felt downcast.
From the first collection of herbs, Jiang Yu"s actions had been efficient. Qi did not just follow them once but escorted them three or four times. He basically took them to look at all the golden thorns" nests around the tribe. After he discovered that it wasn"t very dangerous at all, he was truly a.s.sured that both of them would be alright and allowed them to go without him.
Jiang Yu secretly sighed. Qi is a cold-hearted person, and sometimes he really needs a spanking. However, he"s a good person. Ya Qi, that stupid kid, did not choose the wrong person.
It is now the sixth time they"ve gone to collect the golden thorn gra.s.s. Only, starting from the last time, their task is now to find other herbs as well.
Mu"s medicine uses a total of thirteen herbs to treat his body. Except for the rare golden thorn herb, the other herbs are quite common, but that doesn"t mean they can"t run out. Therefore, after using a month"s worth of herbs, the doctor drove them out to look for herbs.
Having been driven out, Jiang Yu felt somewhat mournful. Before, the doctor was obviously uncomfortable with him going out to find herbs. Every move he made contained distress. But now, after only a few trips, the doctor has already changed! He even finds fault with the herbs they find!
And it"s not only these twelve kinds of herbs, the doctor completely occupied the free time in their lives and made them gather all the herbs. He basically made them familiarize themselves with all the herbs and even made Ya Qi check their work.
The
When Jiang Yu thought of this, he wanted to hit something. I really have no interest in herbs!
The
When Jiang Yu complained to the doctor that he did not want to learn medicine, the doctor would quietly sigh. "Oh, but what would happen if Mu got hurt?"
Jiang Yu"s bursting resentment instantly diffused.
That is indeed a good question. If Mu"s body regressed to its former state because he was injured, the people in the tribe and that viper in his family would bully him to death.
If Mu were bullied to death it wouldn"t be that big of a deal, but because he is the world"s villain, his task is exactly to take revenge on those who have bullied and resented him and destroy the world!
At the thought of this possibility, Jiang Yu slowly swallowed the blood that had risen in his throat and silently studied the incredibly ugly-looking herbs.
He will definitely make himself a qualified doctor for the villain!
Jiang Yu felt deep sadness for his future as a nanny.
However, with all the bad news, at least Mu"s physical condition is looking much better. This makes Jiang Yu feel very pleased.
Even though Mu"s body is getting better, it"s not obvious. Similarly, his position in the tribe hasn"t improved either. After all, everyone still feels that Mu is a good-for-nothing loser, so they don"t even bother calling Mu together for training or hunting.
Jiang Yu only found out that his physical condition was improving because he rode on Mu"s back when he was in his animal form. Now he clearly felt that Mu"s pace was more powerful and that his body is not as fragile as before. The shape of his muscles made were extremely beautiful and looked very strong.
Thus, Jiang Yu, who already liked tigers, liked Mu"s animal form even more. From time to time he would touch his smooth, soft fur.
Jiang Yu was very happy about the changes in Mu, but Mu"s was absolutely shocked by how his body grew stronger every day.
He never knew how relaxing and fun it was to run through the forest!
He even started to fall in love with the feeling of running in the forest.
It is worth mentioning that Mu and Jiang Yu also encountered several small beasts when they were looking the golden thorn beast"s cave. Although their attacking power is not particularly strong, they"re definitely not beasts that Mu could have defeated in the past. Without thinking much about it, Mu reflexively rushed in and efficiently trapped them under his claws.
The
At that time, Mu felt both relief and triumph. That big rock that had long been pressing against his heart finally disappeared. It was a great relief that Mu had never experienced before and he could not help but raise his head and roar.
The
As soon as Mu started to roar powerfully, the animals around them were stunned. There was a frantic rustling noise in the forest. The birds that were perched on the trees flapped away in panic.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
"I heard a very powerful roar." A little shapes.h.i.+fter looked blankly at the place where the noise had come from, and enviously said, "It must be a powerful shapes.h.i.+fter! If I could roar like that, then Ah Yu would like me for sure!"
"We"re still young now. But that"s okay because, in a few years, we"ll become the strongest shapes.h.i.+fters in the tribe!" The little shapes.h.i.+fter that was talking had eyes full of ambition. "I don"t think Ah Yu is really impressive, I think Ya An is better. Although he is only a chimera, he will certainly inherit the position of the tribe"s doctor. He"s less fertile, but with him being the doctor, he"ll definitely make sure his own body is healthy. At least, giving birth to one child should be fine."
"And then think of Ah Yu, who spends all his time in the company of that good-for-nothing loser. He doesn"t have any ambition! I really don"t know how that trash is worth it!"
The other little shapes.h.i.+fter did not hear the harshness in his words. He only turned red and became shy, and insisted, "Although you say that, I still like Ah Yu. He"s become really cute now. He doesn"t beat me up like he used to! I"m going to do my best to become really strong so that he likes me!"
The little shapes.h.i.+fters started to giggle.
