Chapter 15
Su Tang nodded hard. “Yes, of course!”
She caught sight of Green Fruit feeding Meng Ze water with a large leaf through the corner of her eye.
She figured the people here did not boil their water before consumption. However, considering Meng Ze’s situation, he should drink boiled water.
Since they were not in the habit of cooking, no vessels were available.
She vaguely recalled Old Nick holding an earthenware jar in his arms.
Her eyes glinted as she recalled.
Hang on!
Where were her operating apparatus?
She looked at Old Nick anxiously. “Old Nick, do you know where the tools I used on Meng Ze when I treated him are?”
Old Nick nodded. “Chief told me to pack them up for you before we left the stream. You can ask him where they are!”
Su Tang heaved a sigh of relief. However, she patted her head angrily!
Look at how careless she was. She might even end up getting lost before she knew it!
She went up to the cave entrance and saw that Cain had already placed Meng Ze in a sunny spot.
He asked Su Tang, “Is this okay?”
Su Tang nodded.
Yuanyuan hurried over breathlessly and looked at her with her eyes watery, “Tangtang, how is Meng Ze? You must save him! We don’t even have any kids of our own yet!”
The news instantly drew Su Tang’s interest. It turned out Meng Ze and Yuanyuan were married.
Yuanyuan nodded hurriedly. “Just say the word. I will do anything you ask!”
Su Tang turned to look at Old Nick and said, “Old Nick, I recall you had an earthenware jar in your hands when we were at the stream. Mind lending it to me?”
Amid Old Nick’s shock, he felt somewhat hesitant.
He brought the earthenware jar back from Beast City, and it was the only one in the tribe. No one else knew what it was or took an interest in it.
However, Su Tang was capable of identifying it right away. Also, she did not appear surprised.
The earthenware jar was rare even in Beast City!
Su Tang was a doctor. Also, judging from her clothing, she probably came from a powerful tribe. Old Nick asked hesitantly, “Can you tell me what you want to do with it?”
Su Tang nodded. She looked around at everyone.
Cain, Yuanyuan, Old Nick, Meng Ze, and an unknown woman were in the cave.
Did this mean she would earn five points?
Su Tang happily thought as she answered, “I want to use the earthenware jar to boil water for Meng Ze to drink!”
Green Fruit looked puzzled. “But we already gave water to Meng Ze!”
Su Tang explained, “Remember how I said there were tiny invisible bugs in Meng Ze’s wounds that needed to be destroyed with the sun? They exist in the water as well, so we need to boil the water to kill them and make the water safer for drinking.”
“You should drink boiled water even if you aren’t sick. It works even if you drink boiled water after it turns cool. If we drink it straight from the river, we will vomit, get stomachaches, or lose appetite!”
After listening to Su Tang, Yuanyuan and the others instantly looked enlightened!
“Oh, so this is the reason I keep getting stomachaches!”
“Occasionally, I will vomit my food sometime after drinking water. Then I won’t be able to eat anything except fruit for a couple of days!”
