Chapter 145 Staying and Healing
After changing into suitable clothes in the tent, Ruan Mianmian walked to the main hall of the cave.
Right now, the most important thing is to check the baby elephant's leg; if we delay, it could be disastrous.
When the beastmen in the cave saw their leader come out, they all greeted her with smiles.
Their good life now is all thanks to the leader. Despite the terrible blizzard outside, they can still eat and drink well in the cave, and the cubs are playing happily. All of this is thanks to the leader.
Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Ruan Mianmian and respected her very much.
"Greetings, Chief!"
"The leader looks much better now!"
"leader……"
Ruan Mianmian smiled and replied to them, "Hello, have you all had lunch?"
"We've eaten, thank you for your concern, Chief," the beastmen replied one after another.
"That's good. I'm going to check on the baby elephant." Ruan Mianmian said as she walked towards where the baby elephant was.
The beastmen followed behind, worried about the baby elephant's injuries.
When the elephants saw Ruan Mianmian approaching, they all stood up awkwardly and bowed to her.
Their leader had just told them that they would have to stay in the Eastern tribes for the time being to spend the winter.
They felt quite embarrassed that such a large group of orcs were eating and drinking.
Yong happened to be near the elephant herd at that moment and saw Ruan Mianmian walking over, so he quickly bowed to her.
"Yong, you're here too? I came to check on the little elephant's injuries."
After greeting Daman and the others with a smile, Ruan Mianmian walked over to the baby elephant.
The baby elephant remembered the female, after all, she had brought her to this warm cave in a strange vehicle.
Moreover, she understood that it was this female orc who had saved her, so in the little elephant's heart, this female had a motherly warmth.
Ruan Mianmian came to the little elephant's side and carefully examined her injured leg.
The baby elephant gently rubbed its pink and white trunk against Ruan Mianmian, which made Ruan Mianmian's heart melt.
Who knew she was so excited!
Good heavens! She touched an elephant, and a rare white one at that!
"Goddess, can you heal Bai Bai's legs?" Daman asked softly, looking at Ruan Mianmian touching Bai Bai's legs with trepidation.
In her mind, the goddess should be omnipotent, just like the beast god.
If her Bai Bai really is the goddess's mount, then her legs will definitely be fine.
After all, a goddess wouldn't want a lame elephant as her mount!
Upon hearing Daman's words, Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Is this baby elephant named Bai Bai? It's a very nice name, and it suits her image perfectly. As for her leg, it's not a big problem; it will be fine soon."
When the elephant tribe beastmen heard Ruan Mianmian say that the little beastman's leg was not a big problem, they all cheered.
Orcs are actually most afraid of getting sick, especially injuries that leave them missing limbs.
Not every tribe has a shaman now. If an orc falls ill or is injured, without a shaman's treatment, death is practically inevitable.
This time, Bai Bai injured her hind leg. If she doesn't receive proper treatment, she could become a lame elephant in the future.
If the situation is bad, he could lose his life due to the leg injury.
After all, many orcs have died because of this, so everyone gets very anxious and scared when they get injured.
Ruan Mianmian seemed to sense everyone's fear, and she comforted them, "Bai Bai only suffered a minor bone fracture due to external force. I'll put a splint on her in a bit, and she'll get better soon if she drinks more bone broth."
Ruan Mianmian had been touching the area for a while and found no external injuries or particularly red and swollen areas, so she judged it to be just a minor fracture and crack.
She later consulted the system and was told it was a minor bone fracture.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ruan Mianmian's words.
Subsequently, Ruan Mianmian took out herbs for treating bone fractures from the system space, crushed them, applied them to Bai Bai's leg, and secured them with cloth strips and a wooden board.
Perhaps because of its large size, Ruan Mianmian accidentally touched the injured area while tying it up. The little elephant just obediently lay there, swinging its long trunk and humming softly.
Seeing how well-behaved the baby elephant was, Ruan Mianmian couldn't resist buying some bananas from the system shop. She then took out two bananas and tentatively placed them on the baby elephant's trunk.
The baby elephant, which had seemed a little listless just moments before, suddenly opened its eyes wide.
She opened her wet eyes and gently sniffed the banana.
Anyone who saw the frequency with which she flicked her nose knew how much she wanted to eat.
But she wouldn't touch it without Ruan Mianmian's permission.
Daman looked at his cub with some surprise. Even adult elephants would find it hard to resist the taste, but the cub was so young yet had such willpower. No wonder it was the goddess's mount!
Daman had silently bound her child to the goddess, and in her heart, she already had the idea of following the goddess.
However, we need to observe further before making a decision. Besides, even if they want to follow, the goddess might not be willing!
After teasing her enough, Ruan Mianmian put the banana on the elephant's trunk, gesturing for her to eat it.
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the baby elephant curled its trunk and ate the banana.
The sweet taste instantly won over the little elephant Bai Bai's heart, and from then on, bananas became her favorite fruit without exception!
The orcs in the elephant herd couldn't help but swallow hard at the sweet aroma, but since they were all adult orcs, they still managed to restrain themselves.
"Bai Bai, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Ruan Mianmian asked gently.
The baby elephant shook its head to indicate that it was not in pain.
But Ruan Mianmian knew that she just didn't want everyone to worry.
After giving her another banana, Ruan Mianmian told her not to move around.
Then she taught the elephant tribe beastmen some simple care methods, instructing them to change the baby elephant's dressings on time every day.
After doing all this, Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief.
With proper care, the baby elephant will recover quickly.
“Goddess, thank you for saving Bai Bai,” Daman said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. Yong's friends are our tribe's friends. It's only right that we help each other," Ruan Mianmian replied with a smile.
Hearing these words, all the orcs felt incredibly warm.
Yes, they are friends. As long as we are united, we will be able to overcome any difficulties.
"Chief, since you're here, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that there's a blizzard outside, and the Elephant Clan orcs have been migrating in search of warmer places to live. Given the current situation, they can't leave. Could they spend the winter with our tribe this year?"
Although Yong felt confident that his tribe's chief would agree, he still felt a little uneasy after speaking.
The elephant-tribe beastmen beside her looked at Ruan Mianmian with hopeful eyes after hearing Yong's words.
Hearing Yong's words, Ruan Mianmian smiled and looked at Daman and the elephant tribe beastmen, saying, "Even if Yong hadn't said it, I would have advised you to stay. Bai Bai is currently injured and cannot move, and there is a blizzard outside, so you can't move around. Why don't you stay in our tribe and spend the winter there?"
Upon hearing their leader's words, the other orcs around them couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Some of them had participated in the elephant rescue efforts and knew how dangerous it was outside.
Moreover, the baby elephant is so special that it's best for it to stay in its tribe.
The elephant tribe beastmen heard the cheers of the eastern tribe beastmen and joined in.
Suddenly, the cave sounded like an animal convention, filled with howls of wolves, roars of bears, bellows of elephants, and cries of eagles...
