The beastman who delivered the message heard this, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Rait was right, and he saw that the little beastman, although he had fallen and bled, was not seriously injured. A lick of the tongue the next day would heal it, but the witch doctor not only wanted to apply medicine but also to borrow a flat board for illumination.
"Rait, look, the witch doctor asked me to come. Why don't you two go over?"
Rait's expression was not good, and his voice was cold, "It's okay, my eyes are good. I'll go apply medicine to the little beastman."
The beastman was stunned, "But the witch doctor..."
"Aren't you following? Is the little beastman going to get medicine or not?" Rait had already walked out of the cave, and the rain hit his body.
The beastman was silent for a second and followed Rait to the witch doctor's cave.
He had originally thought he could catch a glimpse of what the board looked like, but he had thought too much!
After Rait and the beastman left, Shu Yue complained, "The witch doctor can really come up with any excuse!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Shu Xin's eyes. The methods were clumsy, and the purpose was clear.
Went looked at the rain curtain outside the cave, frowning and thinking, the witch doctor wasn't like this before...
Rait braved the rain and arrived at the witch doctor's cave. There were five or six people in the cave at this time: the witch doctor and her daughter, the tribal chief, and the injured little beastman's father. The little beastman, covered in blood, lay on a wooden board.
Balun saw that he was alone and looked behind him.
Rait said, "The rain is too heavy, I came alone."
As he spoke, he walked into the cave and squatted directly in front of the little beastman. The little beastman groaned in pain. There were two relatively long cuts on his back, and the other places were just abrasions, with the blood already coagulated.
He asked, "Where is the medicine? I'll smear it on him."
As soon as he said this, Balun and the little beastman's father in the cave showed unnatural expressions, and the witch doctor's gaze turned cold, mixed with embarrassment.
Rait did not mention the flat board at all, "I see the blood is not flowing anymore, so there's no need to apply medicine. Go back and wipe yourself clean with beast skin, and it will heal with a lick."
"Rait! You don't need to worry about the little beastman's injuries. Did you bring the flat board?" the witch doctor asked in a deep voice.
Rait straightened up and said casually, "No, what need is there for a flat board for such a small injury? It's not that I'm saying this to you, Ah Hu, but when did males become so delicate?"
"If you need to smear herbs for such small wounds, how much will it cost?"
Ah Hu shook his head awkwardly, "I don't have any hemostatic grass at home, so I thought I'd get some from the witch doctor..."
He planned to apply it to his child himself when he got back, but he didn't expect the witch doctor to stop him and insist on applying the medicine herself. He naturally thanked her profusely, but the witch doctor suddenly said she couldn't see where the injury was, which led to the current awkward situation.
The tribal chief came right after him. If he had known that the tribal chief had something to discuss with the witch doctor, he would have told his cub to endure it and just use saliva!
Rait heard this and glanced at the witch doctor, saying nonchalantly, "Witch doctor, give him the medicine and let him go back to apply it himself. Why are you bothering?"
"Yi Yi, quickly get Ah Hu a few stalks of hemostatic grass. Look how much the little cub is in pain."
Yi Yi: "..."
She glanced back at her mother. The witch doctor, with a green face, said, "Yi Yi, go get it."
Ah Hu took the herbs, thanked them, carried his son, said goodbye to the others, and hurried away.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the beastman who delivered the message also slipped away. Only four people were left in the cave.
The witch doctor sneered twice, "Rait, don't forget you're from the Warrior Tribe!"
Rait seemed very helpless, "Witch doctor, it's just a board that can emit light. It has no other use besides illumination. Why are you so persistent?"
The witch doctor only said, "That board is useful to me."
"..." It's useful to you, so you should have it?
He didn't say this, as it would embarrass the witch doctor.
Yi Yi asked incomprehensibly, "Rait, my mother is the witch doctor and is responsible for the life and safety of the entire tribe. It's just a board, why can't you let it go?"
Rait pulled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly with a hint of mockery.
He wanted to say something, but Balun interrupted him, "Rait, tonight's matter is resolved. You should go back first."
Rait said without hesitation, "Okay, then I'll leave first."
Then the beastman flew away under the glare of the witch doctor and Yi Yi.
The witch doctor's face darkened, "What does the tribal chief mean by this!"
Balun said, "Witch doctor, I have something to discuss with you privately."
The witch doctor did not speak. Yi Yi looked at one and then the other, and said shrewdly, "Then Mother, you discuss matters first, and I'll go talk to Miao Miao."
The witch doctor said worriedly, "Run slower, don't fall!"
"I know!" Yi Yi disappeared into the rain curtain.
After Yi Yi left, only the tribal chief and the witch doctor remained in the cave.
The witch doctor was actually a few years younger than Balun. Yi Yi's appearance resembled the witch doctor. The witch doctor was also a beautiful female who was pursued by many people when she was young. She was not old now and still had her charm. It was rare to have such a young witch doctor.
When facing Balun, the witch doctor did not have a stern face like she did with others. Her expression was somewhat complicated, as if there was some connection between the two.
Balun stared at the outside with a calm gaze and said, "Witch doctor, that board is neither here nor there for you. Why are you making things difficult for a junior?"
Hearing this, the witch doctor's anger surged, and she emphasized, "I am the witch doctor. Such a magical item in Shu Xin's hands will only remain a board, but if I obtain it, I will become the most capable witch doctor on the Beastman Continent!"
Balun rubbed his temples with a headache, "But that's someone else's property. As a witch doctor, forcibly taking a tribesman's private property will make the tribesmen prejudiced against you."
The witch doctor did not take it seriously, "Who will have an opinion? Let them stand out and I'll see!"
As she said this, her aura was one of grievance. She had worked tirelessly for this tribe, and who would have thought that they wouldn't even give her a board!
Balun noticed the change in her aura and couldn't help but remind her, "A Xiang! You are the witch doctor, and it is right for you to dedicate everything to the tribe. Didn't the previous witch doctor teach you this?"
"The Beast God is selfless, and you are his recognized believers, so you should also be desireless and treat everyone equally. But look at you now!"
"At your age back then, you shouldn't have held the position of witch doctor. It was unfortunate that the old witch doctor passed away too suddenly. You were the old witch doctor's most favored successor, and I agreed only after you personally came to me and said you could do this job. Twenty years have passed, but your selfishness has grown!"
The witch doctor's face turned green and white from the tribal chief's scolding, and she said sarcastically, "It's just a board, and you say I'm too selfish?"
"More than ten years ago, my male partner sacrificed himself for the tribe, and I didn't say a word. I raised Yi Yi alone. You will never understand the hardships!"
At this point, the witch doctor stopped talking and did not continue. She was a witch doctor and could not complain like those useless females.
She calmed herself down and quickly returned to her usual desireless state, saying lightly, "I can give up that board, but you have to promise me one thing."
