Shen Tianshu was also very helpless.
She was originally just waiting for Yan Heming, so that they could leave the city and go back together after he saw the hostages.
But the person who should be waiting did not arrive, but the great elder who was the first to kneel down to pray rushed in with a few Wuman people.
The three personal guards immediately drew their weapons and blocked Shen Tianshu behind them.
"Everyone, don't rush to take action. First find out what happened."
After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, she felt that she was so stupid. The Wuman people couldn't understand what she was talking about.
Nowadays, Qi Fei is the only one in Xie's house who can speak both Wuman and Daqi Mandarin.
Without him being present as a translator, the two parties were completely talking at the same time. No one could understand what the other said, and could only understand the knife in the other's hand.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, as if there was an invisible string in the air, which had been stretched to the limit and would break immediately with the slightest external force.
Fortunately, Qi Fei rushed back quickly. He didn't bother to talk to the elder for the moment and hurriedly asked Shen Tianshu: "Mrs. Tong Jialin suddenly developed a high fever. I wonder if it has something to do with taking medicine and applying medicine?"
"There must be a certain relationship, but this is not a bad thing." Shen Tianshu said, "Fever is caused by external evil entering the body and competing with the healthy energy in the body. It manifests itself in the body as fever.
"Jia Lin had never had a fever before because the righteousness in his body was too weak to compete with external evils. The decoction he is taking now contains ingredients that can enhance his own righteousness.
"With the increase of righteousness in the body, it will naturally have to contend with external evils, and the body will naturally heat up. If the body temperature is not too high, it doesn't matter. You just need to apply cold compresses and wipe the body with warm water."
Although Qi Fei didn't understand medical skills, listening to Shen Tianshu's words, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the logic, and the other party's expression was calm, not panicking at all, and it didn't look like he was lying.
He turned around and tried hard to explain these words to the great elder.
But the great elder didn’t seem to agree.
Qi Fei had no choice but to explain to Shen Tianshu: "The Wuman tribe lacks medical treatment and medicine. When encountering problems, they find ghost masters and use witchcraft to solve them. If they can't be solved, they think it is the arrangement of the gods and resign themselves to fate.
Among the Wuman tribe, many injured people had high fevers that persisted and then lost their lives, so they always believed that high fevers were an ominous sign.
Only then did Yan Heming finally understand why Jialin's legs were already in that state before. The ghost master and other people in the clan still thought he could be saved. It was because he didn't have a fever.
Nowadays, people suddenly start to have a fever after taking medicine, and they can't sit still immediately.
He couldn't explain the pharmacology to the elder, so Shen Tianshu could only ask: "Can I go check on Jia Lin's condition first?"
Qi Fei talked to the elder Jili Gulu for a long time, but no matter what he said, he couldn't make sense. He was so angry that he had to sacrifice the Ghost Lord to suppress him and said: "The Ghost Lord said that I will be solely responsible for this matter. He is angry with me." Live or die, I will die if I harm Jia Lin, it is equivalent to harming myself!"
The great elder then reluctantly gave in and allowed Shen Tianshu to pass.
Shen Tianshu entered the room and touched Jia Lin's forehead, and found that his body temperature was not high, at least far worse than Li Zian's last night, which showed that the righteousness in his body was not enough to compete with external evils.
But as long as we can still maintain righteousness, it proves that there is still hope.
Now there is no good way, he can only continue to use medicine to improve his own righteousness. When he is strong enough to resist external evil, he will naturally be cured without taking medicine.
But in the eyes of the great elder, this explanation completely subverted his cognition and was absolutely unacceptable.
After trying several times to make no sense, Shen Tianshu became a little angry, frowned and asked: "Mr. Qi, what do you, the elder, mean?"
Qi Fei asked a few more questions and said with a troubled look on his face: "The elder's intention is to temporarily detain Lady Tong in the Xie Mansion until Jia Lin's fever subsides."
"This is impossible!" The guard who just went to see Qi Zihao and Yan Laosan immediately refused resolutely, "My young master was also injured on the way here, and Madam Tong has to go back to help my young master see a doctor!"
However, the great elder's attitude was tough, and the atmosphere that had finally eased suddenly became tense again.
"Mr. Qi, the master of the Yan family is in your hands, so why bother!" Yan Heming also spoke up.
Qi Fei shook his head and said: "The elder said that although the master of the Yan family is in our hands, Mrs. Tong is not a member of the Yan family. If she thinks she can't be cured and runs away, where will we find someone?"
Shen Tianshu narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said, "Mr. Qi, are you playing double act with us?"
When Qi Fei heard this, his expression changed slightly.
In fact, he had not discussed it with the Great Elder before, but during the conversation just now, he also felt that the Great Elder's words made sense.
Even if the Yan family will do their best for Mr. Yan, Mrs. Tong is just a doctor they paid for.
If something really happened and Jia Lin was harmed, he would probably die as well.
"Mr. Qi, by doing this, you are not only doubting my medical skills, but also my medical products." Shen Tianshu frowned and said, "Why don't you ask the ghost master, when Divine Doctor Jiang came to your village? How he tried his best to help you, and now you are making things difficult for his descendants!
"Fortunately, after Divine Doctor Jiang returned, he wrote in his handwriting that people in the world have misunderstood Wu Man a lot, and said that you are simple and kind... now I really understand!"
Qi Fei was young and had not been in the Wuman tribe for a long time. He had no idea that Jiang Sui had been to the Wuman tribe before. Now that he heard what Shen Tianshu said, he suddenly understood why the ghost master immediately came to Wuman after seeing the seal of Doctor Jiang. Let him go and let him prepare the medicinal materials overnight and send them out of the city.
The elder couldn't understand Shen Tianshu's words, but he could also feel her emotions.
After listening to Qi Fei's translation, the great elder looked a little embarrassed.
However, he was still stubborn and said in a different way: "We won't embarrass you. It's just that Jialin's condition is serious. I hope the doctor can always stay by his side, so that we can feel at ease."
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the Wuman tribe was already surrounded outside the house.
When Shen Tianshu saw this, he would definitely not be able to leave unless he fought out today.
There are only four people on his side who can fight, and including Yan Heming, there are only five people in total.
Maybe they can kill it on their own, but if she is a dragster, it will be hard to say.
So after thinking twice, Shen Tianshu nodded and said, "I can stay tonight, but you must let Dr. Yan go back. We also have wounded people over there who also need the doctor's care."
"This is no problem, Madam Tong, don't worry!" Qi Fei immediately agreed.
