But Cerna couldn't accept it because she was too young. In terms of age, this young mother wasn't even as old as Li Ke. She was only about 20 years old.
Yes, although Cerna appeared to be very mature and steady, she was still very young in everyone's eyes. It was this land that gave her maturity and experience beyond her age. Furthermore, Eich, who was beside her, was even younger than her. To Li Ke, Eich could be considered his younger sister, because Li Ke's age was even more exaggerated than hers. She wasn't even 18 years old yet, and it had only been a year since she rebuilt the Awarosa Tribe.
But Cerna's young age made it even harder for her to accept this. Although her will was very strong, the feeling of being a mother for the first time made her unable to accept this. If she only had one child, if she was still a war mother, if the man who once supported her was still alive, if she wanted to rely on others instead of relying on others, and if she hadn't seen so many children die because of this, she would make herself not appear so sad.
But she didn't need that kind of strength now.
"Well, I knew you wouldn't give up."
Looking at Cerna's unwilling cheeks, the doctor named Ryan sighed helplessly, then went into his tent. It didn't take long for him to take out a sealed horn cup and handed it to Cerna.
"Feeding it to the two of them will probably have some effect … At least they won't be in so much pain."
Ryan's expression was helpless, but there was no sadness because he had seen this kind of thing too many times. Whether it was the children of the Furnace Owners, the children of the Ice People, or other people's children, most of the children born in winter couldn't live to the next spring's Naming Day. Only those who were born a little earlier and had grown up for a period of time had a higher chance of surviving the winter and getting their names on Naming Day.
"Kate, Xena …"
Cerna hugged her children and called their names in pain, but she also knew that it was useless, so she prepared to open the potion and feed it to her children. After all, she had no choice but to listen to the doctor.
"Wait."
However, Li Ke reached out to take the medicine bottle from her hand. Unlike the previous times, this time, Cerna only let go of her hand after realizing that it was Li Ke who was going to take it. Her face showed a dazed expression. She let go of her hand and let Li Ke take the medicine bottle. Li Ke didn't delay anything and began to check it directly. But when he opened the medicine bottle, the first thing he smelled was a medicinal smell mixed with alcohol.
He dipped his finger in the medicinal liquid at the mouth of the bottle, then put it into his mouth. An indescribable taste appeared in his mouth, and his brows furrowed. However, what angered him the most was that the main ingredient of this medicinal liquid was a kind of wine mixed with water. Furthermore, there was a slight numbness on the tongue that came in contact with the liquid.
"You mixed it with plants that can cause paralysis and hallucinations?"
His angry voice was immediately calmly spoken. Furthermore, because he had to suppress his anger, his voice sounded unusually low and angry. This made the man named Ryan subconsciously think that he was looking at a furnace that was raging.
"Ah, yes … How did you know?"
His face showed a surprised expression, and Li Ke put the lid back on the medicine bottle, then threw it back to the doctor's arms.
"You can keep this for your adult patients who need to treat their wounds!"
He knew that this situation was caused by the lack of a medical system. Therefore, he knew that he couldn't lose his temper at this person. To use an inappropriate analogy, this doctor called Ryan was like a modern doctor who encountered a terminal cancer for the first time. He knew that he couldn't do anything about it and could only give the best medical treatment in his opinion. Although modern doctors at least knew the cause of cancer, he didn't even know that a fever should be cooled down first. But this bottle of medicine that could barely be called an anesthetic was already the best method he could find.
After all, the medical technology of any civilization was summarized and developed bit by bit from blood and tears. So he couldn't be angry at this ignorant guy, because this was the reason why his civilization was too ignorant.
But if he really let Cherna's children drink this medicine, they would indeed remain calm for a period of time, and they would seem to be fine. But their most fundamental problem still hadn't been solved, and their condition would continue to develop. Then, when their small bodies couldn't hold on anymore, it would be time for them to die.
"Let me do it."
He turned around and placed his hand on Kaye's head. Then, he diverted some of his life force and infused his power into the child. In order to make sure that his operation wouldn't cause any strange changes to Kai, he opened his spirit and connected it to Kai's young spirit. But when he carefully entered the child's spirit, the first emotion he received was a very simple word.
"Hungry."
Hungry?
"You don't feel uncomfortable anymore?"
Li Ke hurriedly transmitted his feelings, and the little guy opened his eyes wide in reality, looking at Li Ke who had his eyes closed and was concentrating on his mental state. Because of the injection of life force, a smile appeared on her face.
"The dizziness and pain are gone."
Because of her smile, Cherna, who was hugging her, was pleasantly surprised. She couldn't help but cry because she had always thought that her faith in Li Ke was always the first. However, when she found out that her child was sick, she realized that there was still such a burning and sorrowful thing in her faith. And before these things happened to her, she naively thought that she wouldn't be like this.
Li Ke was relieved because of this. Regardless of whether his power would cause any negative consequences, from what he sensed, they were fine. It was just a simple fever. His action of strengthening her body could indeed alleviate her illness, or even cure it. So he extended his hand and used the same treatment on Chyna, and her body temperature returned to normal.
So, even though Li Ke had never been a real doctor, he still cured two patients in this strange land.
