Chapter 416 Care
He frowned as soon as he entered. The animal skin tent was well set up, but the sick beastmen were lying directly on the haystacks, and only the young cubs had a piece of animal skin rug under them.
It's snowing heavily and the weather is so cold, how can things possibly get better?
Xi Zhao said with some guilt, "We didn't expect this to happen. We used the extra animal hides to build tents."
Lin Baiyan nodded. This was not Xi Zhao's fault, nor was it something he had expected.
He took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the forehead of the nearest half-grown cub. The male orc cub was delirious with fever, his cheeks were flushed, his brows were tightly closed, and he was mumbling something incoherently.
Lin Baiyan looked up at Xi Zhao, "What are the symptoms?"
"It started with diarrhea, then vomiting, and after that, a high fever and cough started." The word spread like wildfire.
Lin Baiyan reached out and touched the cub's body; it was burning hot. "Is there anything else wrong?"
Lang Luo shook his head. "That's all."
Lin Baiyan had a general idea of what was going on. Based on his judgment, it was probably due to acclimatization issues, coupled with the unpredictable weather in the north, which could be considered a seasonal flu.
For a moment, the male orcs in the tent watched Lin Baiyan's men's actions with great anxiety, especially Lang Luo, who asked, "High Priest, can you heal them?"
Lin Baiyan didn't even look up, her gentle voice carrying a natural sense of conviction, "It doesn't look like a big problem, I'll give it a try first."
He turned to look at Yang Ye beside him, "Make sure all the animal hides in our carriage are warm and cozy. Move the cubs to the top of the carriage first, then take the iron pot off and boil some fever-reducing medicine."
"Okay," Yang Ye said, turning and leaving.
Lin Baiyan then looked around at the other tents. He roughly estimated that there were nearly a hundred Star Wolf Clan orcs who were sick and had fevers. No wonder they were being dragged out of the way here.
He looked up at the surrounding situation and quickly got a sense of the situation. There should be more than three hundred orcs from the Star Wolf Clan this time.
After briefly looking around a few tents, Lin Baiyan roughly determined their condition. It wasn't an infectious disease, but it was definitely viral influenza.
This is a very common seasonal flu in modern times. Even if you go to the hospital for medication and injections, it takes more than a week to recover.
At this moment, Yang Ye also led a few orcs into the tent carrying wooden buckets. "This is ginger water that I brewed on the way. Let each of you have a bowl to warm up first."
After hearing his words, the male orcs of the Star Wolf Clan quickly took the wooden bowl from his hand and helped their clansmen up one by one.
Those who are conscious can drink it themselves, while those who are not conscious are forced to drink it by prying open their mouths and pouring it in, which is a very rough action.
Yang Ye was speechless at the male orc's wild and unrestrained movements. He quickly stopped the male orc's hand, saying, "Let me do it!"
At this rate, half a bowl of ginger water will spill out.
The male orc had his bowl taken from him. Seeing Yang Ye's gentle movements, he smiled awkwardly and stiffly tried to imitate him, feeding him spoonful by spoonful.
The ginger water tasted very spicy. One of the cubs was forced to drink a spoonful, and coughed it out with a "whoosh," its little face turning bright red. "Ouch, it hurts!"
"Sister Nian, what is this? It tastes awful..." A cub looked pitifully at the Star Wolf Clan sub-beastman in front of him, its little voice particularly weak.
Wolf Nian, whom he called "sister," brought the wooden bowl to her nose and smelled it. She immediately frowned. "Oh, why does this smell so bad?"
"Can the little one not drink?" The little cub obediently tugged at the corner of Lang Nian's animal skin coat.
Wolf Nian almost softened when he saw the little cub's aggrieved look.
"No, you have to drink it when you're sick, otherwise you won't get better." At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came out. The beastmen in the tent looked up and saw the tent flap being lifted, and a young sub-beastman wearing a white bark robe walked in.
As soon as he entered, he accurately spotted the cub that had just spoken and slowly swayed in front of him.
Upon seeing a strange orc, the cub instinctively tried to snuggle into Wolf's arms.
Lin Baiyan squatted down in front of the cub, ruffled his slightly yellow hair, and looked at him seriously. "Being sick is very painful, and you can't eat good food. Be good, and you won't feel bad after you finish drinking."
The cub blinked, feeling the exceptional warmth of the slender fingers that had touched his head. He instinctively rubbed against the orc's palm, "Brother..."
Lin Baiyan hummed in response.
"You're so beautiful..."
Hearing the cub say that, Lin Baiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pinched his cheek, "Hurry up and finish drinking, and I'll give you a reward after you finish."
The cub instinctively did as he was told, closing his eyes, puffing out his cheeks, and taking a big gulp of ginger water. He smacked his lips and unconsciously touched his little belly.
"Brother, I feel something warm inside my tummy!" The cub looked up in surprise.
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "Isn't it much warmer now?"
The cub nodded, no longer objecting, and gulped down the rest of the ginger water. Then it raised the small bowl and looked at Lin Baiyan expectantly.
Lin Baiyan mysteriously rummaged through the animal skin bag, and then a small biscuit, about the length of a finger, landed in the cub's palm.
The cub looked at the strange-shaped object in its hand with some curiosity.
"These are cookies, they're sweet and delicious." Lin Baiyan gestured for him to take a bite. "The other cubs in my brother's family love them."
The wolf cub Qing instinctively obeyed and took a bite. Her big eyes lit up instantly, and she sweetly exclaimed, "Delicious!"
Lin Baiyan smiled and stood up, looking at the other beastmen in the tent. "Even healthy beastmen should drink this ginger water! It can help prevent illness."
