Su Ying put away the gun in her hand and walked over to those people. “Quickly settle the wounded down. Does your tribe have a doctor who knows how to treat injuries? Go and look for him immediately.”
The people of the tribe watched helplessly as their loved ones lay in pools of blood. For a moment, they were at a loss to know what to do. Su Ying’s reassuring and powerful words were like a life-saving buoy, lifting their spirits immediately.
Su Ying stepped forward to check on the tribal chief’s condition. There were several saber wounds on his body, and blood was still gushing out non-stop.
“Move him to the nearest house. Do it quickly.”
When the tribesmen heard this, they quickly carried the tribal chief into the house behind them.
Su Ying took out her dagger and slit open his clothes, revealing the wound inside.
“All of you don’t have to wait here. I’ll treat him. You guys go and take care of the other injured.”
Su Ying had just helped them chase away those Nan State people, so the people of the tribe subconsciously trusted her. Upon hearing this, the tribesmen turned around and left the house.
After Su Ying confirmed that they had all left, she locked the door from the inside and brought the tribal chief into the interspatial store for treatment. It was more convenient for her to use any tools in the interspatial store, and the interspatial store’s equipment also made her treatment process smoother.
There were many wounds on the tribal chief’s body. The most serious ones were the saber wounds on his thighs, arms, and abdomen.
The wound on the abdomen was the most troublesome to treat because the saber might have injured other organs in the stomach.
She could only open his abdomen and stitch up the cut intestines inside.
Just this patient alone made her stay in the interspatial store for quite some time.
However, there were many injured people in the tribe, and the others were too busy dealing with them, so no one noticed the situation on her side.
When Su Ying came out of her interspatial store, it was still chaotic outside. When she opened the door and walked out, wails and cries rang out incessantly.
“Where are those who are seriously injured? Bring me to them.”
When the Shinloh Tribe members heard Su Ying’s shout, they immediately brought her to the seriously injured tribesman.
Su Ying stayed with the tribe to treat these tribesmen. From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn again, only then did the seriously injured tribesmen come back to life in her hands.
The tribe had rural barefoot doctors, and they could handle some of the less serious external injuries.
After she finished stitching up the wound of the last seriously injured person, Su Ying walked to the chair at the side and sat down. She took out the energy drink she had on her and downed it in one gulp.
When the tribesman entered the house and saw Su Ying sitting on the chair without any expression, they gratefully knelt down in front of her and kowtowed.
“Thank you for saving my life, Benefactor Sacred Mother. Thank you for saving my life, Benefactor Sacred Mother.”
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched. “I’m not a Sacred Mother,” she said calmly. It sounded like she was scolding them.
“You are definitely the Sacred Mother of the Shinloh Tribe.”
Su Ying only found out afterward that the Sacred Mother was the most sacred symbol of the tribe’s religious belief.
“Is there anything to eat? I’m hungry.”
A woman nodded repeatedly. “Yes, there is. I’ll go get it for Sacred Mother now.”
The woman got up and walked to the back of the house. Before long, she brought back a few potatoes that had turned cold.
“Sacred Mother, we don’t have anything good here. We hope you don’t mind.”
Su Ying wanted to eat meat, but she couldn’t possibly ask someone to slaughter a chicken for her under these circumstances. She took the potato and said, “I don’t mind.”
After finishing all the potatoes, Su Ying got up and went outside.
The wounded in the tribe had more or less been taken care of. “Where is your tribal chief?”
When the woman heard this, she immediately brought Su Ying to the tribal chief’s house. After Su Ying treated him, his family had brought him back home.
The woman walked into the house before Su Ying and told the people inside that Su Ying had arrived.
Just as Su Ying reached the door, a few people walked out of the house.
The moment they saw Su Ying, all of them triple-kowtowed three times.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Sacred Mother.”
“You guys are awake. Get up. Is the tribal chief awake?”
The people on the ground stood up and said, “He’s awake. The tribal chief has already regained consciousness.”
Su Ying nodded and walked into the house.
When the tribal chief saw Su Ying enter, he wanted to get up and kowtow, but Su Ying stopped him. “Don’t move. If you move, the wounds on your body will bleed again. I don’t want to treat you a second time.”
The last sentence made the tribal chief stop completely.
“Sacred Mother…”
Su Ying interrupted the tribal chief, “My name is Su Ying, the City Lord of Sky Alpha City. I’m not any Sacred Mother.”
The tribal chief was startled as if he hadn’t expected Su Ying to be from Sky Alpha City. “You… you are Sky Alpha City’s… City Lord?”
“Yes. I originally planned to buy medicinal herbs, but 1 encountered this incident.”
“If City Lord Su hadn’t appeared in time, our tribe would have been wiped out.” The tribal chief gave a sigh, as fear lingered in his heart. It had never occurred to him that those Nan State people who always had a smile on their faces in the past would do such a cruel and cold-blooded thing.
They were an independent tribe separate from all the states and were not under the jurisdiction of any state. At the same time, no one could protect them except themselves. Therefore, even if those people really exterminated their tribe today, they had no place to seek justice for themselves.
Thus, they truly regarded Su Ying as a Sacred Mother. She had saved an entire tribe.
“May I know why the City Lord is here in this season?”
The Shinloh Tribe was also a tribe that grew medicinal herbs for a living. It was one of the tribes that Sky Alpha City purchased medicinal herbs from.
“I was planning to come here to see what other medicinal herbs you have in your hands and buy them along the way.”
When the tribal chief heard her, he hurriedly said, “Whatever medicinal herbs City Lord wants, as long as we have them, City Lord can take them.”
“I, Su Ying, don’t like to take advantage of others, so I’ll give all of you the same price for the herbs as before. The Taloh Tribe was also attacked by that group of people, and their casualties were even more severe than the Shinloh Tribe’s.
I’ll go over and take a look at the situation there first before coming back.”
“Sure, sure. City Lord, please take care. We have a carriage. We have a horse carriage in the tribe’s village.”
“Mm-hmm.”
The women from the Taloh Tribe who had been captured by the people from the Nan State had gone back to the Taloh Tribe after the Nan State people fled. When Su Ying returned to the Taloh Tribe in the horse carriage, the blood on the ground had already been covered by the snow from the night before.
She walked into the tribe’s village. It was so quiet that it was as if there was no one here. When she arrived outside Zhang Shulun’s house, she saw him carrying a basin of water out of the house.
When Zhang Shulun saw Su Ying had come back, he put down the basin in his hand and excitedly ran forward to open the low fence gate. “City Lord, you’re back. Are you alright? Did you get injured in any way?”
After returning, the Orange Guardian had explained Su Ying’s identity to him. He also learned from the tribesmen who had escaped that Su Ying had gone on a killing spree in the Shinloh Tribe’s village. The way he looked at Su Ying now was not only filled with gratitude but also adulation and reverence.
There were so many people, but City Lord Su had beaten all of them away!
