From what Lin Mu can see, the beastman was badly injured. There was a long wound on his back, the flesh was exposed, and the most serious was the wound on his stomach. His belly was pierced open, but it was simply bandaged with animal skin. The beastman should have been injured for a long time before he got picked up by Patrik. With such a serious injury, only beings with the strong physique of a beastman could survive from it.
This beastman was first placed in the hall, and Lalâs extra bed was contributed to him. Lin Mu doesnât need to start any treatments, as he ultimately handed the responsibility to Phil. Compared to Lin Mu, Phil is more knowledgeable about the usage of those herbs. Even when doing things like wound stitching, Lais is better than Lin Mu, because Lin Muâs needle skill is the worst among them. Lais cooperated well with Phil to treat beastmanâs wound. They cleaned the wound, applied the medicine and the suture, then wrap the wound with soft animal skin1. Everything they did was quite organized.
Lin Mu only watched from the side left, occasionally pointed out some points, without needing to even demonstrate it. He was so idle that he should help serve tea and wipe sweat, but there were distressed beastman watching over their females to do those things. Lin Mu âs movements canât be faster than Lloyd. So he stood aside to prevent from hindering the beastman earning cookie points. Lin Mu speechlessly looked at Lloyd busying around, and even the cool Jason expressed his concern.
After the beastmanâs injury was attended to, Patrik let people carry him into the first room on the right-hand side. Although there were already four people living there, it wouldnât feel crowded if an extra bed was added in the room of a hundred plus square feet.\nLin Mu saw that the beastmanâs bed was arranged, and no one expressed any opposition, so he pulled Patrik back to the room. Sitting properly on the bed, he pulled Patrik to sit beside him.
âSay it ba.â
When Lin Mu first saw the injured beastman, he knew something was wrong. According to Patrikâs personality, how could he pick up someone back? He knows Patrik too well, if Patrik saw an injured and fainted beastman, he wonât save that beastman. After all, both beastman and drifter beastman are enemies to them.
Things are like this:Patrik and the hunting team went hunting in the valley far away from their area as usual. Today, they were lucky to meet a few Da-da beasts that came out searching for food. Da-da beast is a herbivore with a tall body and a gentle temperament2. It runs very fast and is difficult to catch if it gets into the jungle. Several of them are excellent hunters, and naturally, they will not let their food run away. They quietly waited for their prey to approach, waiting for them to enter their attack range. When itâs time to attack, one Da-da beast escaped in panic.
Howth is a golden-winged lion. He saw the escaping Da-da beast and said, âTribe leader, I will chase it.â After, he went after the beast.
Ryan is Howthâs older brother. He looked at his younger brother and smiled to Patrik, âLook at this kid.â
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard Howthâs roar. Thatâs how they convey information.
âListening to Howth, he seems to have discovered something,â Ryan told Patrik, before carrying his prey on his back.
Patrik: âGo check it out.â\nWhen they rushed to the place, they saw a beastman lying on the ground and Howth in his human form standing beside him.
When Howth saw them coming, he quickly explained, âHe was already like this when I met him, I didnât do anything.â No wonder he was so anxious to explain himself, it was because he had deliberately attacked other beastman before, because of jealousy for others; jealous to why canât he live like them.
Patrik glanced at the beastman with a cold gaze. He was in a comatose state, indicating that he was seriously injured, but these have nothing to do with him. Whether this person is a beastman or a drifter beastman, he is likely to be his enemy. Even if he is not an enemy, Patrik has no extra kindness in him to help this beastman. This world is like the law of the jungle; the strong govern the weak.
For Lloydâs case, it was because of Lin Muâs kindness. Patrik will agree to anything no matter what Lin Mu asks him to do, besides Lin Mu was just trying to be kind. Although Lin Mu sometimes seems too simple and has no sense of danger, Patrik is willing to protect him as long as he can. Itâs beastmanâs responsibility to make sure his partner have no worries.
Ryan crouched down and looked at the beastman. âHe should be from a bear family.â
Patrik didnât look again. âThrow one Da-da beast to him, letâs go.â This is the kindness he can give.
The other beastmen has no opinions, their current life is not easy, they donât want to bring disaster because of good intentions. When they wanted to leave, they suddenly heard the beastmanâs voice.
âTribe leader, Iâm not ominous. Iâm not. I havenât done bad things, you canât do this to me. You canât do this to meâŠâ
Patrik turned back.
Howth: âCouldnât be this one was also expelled from his tribe?â
Ryan looked at him carefully, âTribe leader, his eyes were closed, and his consciousness was muddled.â
If this beastman had just been expelled from his tribe like as Howth said, Ryan really sympathized with this beastman. He had such an experience as well, he would have been able to be partners with his beloved female, but he lost everything overnight; one couldnât imagine such a shock. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet their tribe leader Patrik, although they were really dissatisfied with him at first, and now they are living a good life together. He sighed in his heart, if this beastman can survive, he will need a lot of time to accept this matter. Being expelled by his tribe and also being labelled as ominous, he would despair.
Ryan looked at Patrik. He(P) was looking at the injured beastman, not sure what he was thinking. He(R) really wanted the tribe leader to save this beastman but was worried that it would cause trouble, so he could not express his thoughts.
âTake him back,â Patrik said and turned away.\nThe remaining beastman glanced at each other.
Howth: âIâll take him. Brother, help put him on my back.â Beastman hates being carried by another beastman, humph humph, Iâll make you mad to death, Howth thought unkindly.
Ryan was a little surprised that his brother would be so kind. But thinking about his brother was sometimes mischievous, being kind is actually good. He carefully helped the injured person on Howthâs back and instructed, âHowth, walk carefully. He was badly injured.â
The big lion nodded impatiently to expressed that he knew, and then hurried off. He was anxious to go back to eat dinner.
After listening.
âSo itâs like this?â Lin Mu asked.
Patrik nodded, and he lay on the bed with a tired look.
Lin Mu laid next to him, âWas it because he made you think of your own⊠I mean, you used to be in a tribe, you know what I mean.â
Patrik rubbed his hair and smiled and said, âYouâre right. He reminded me of that time.â It was also a bloody scene and trying hard to escape.
Lin Mu laid side by side with Patrik, patting him on the shoulder. He smiled comfortingly and said âPlease donât be sad anymore. Isnât it good to see what we have now?â
Patrik was amused by him and hugged him while staring at the roof. âYes, Iâm not sad anymore.â
âThatâs good. Not sure how is that beastman now, he should wake up soon. After all, you beastman has such abnormal resilience.â
Patrik turned to pressed Lin Mu under his body and rubbed his face, âIsnât it bad to think of another beastman in front of me?â
Lin Mu pretended to be silly: âDid I, did I? Why didnât I realize it?â
âPretending to be stupid is useless, you will be punished for doing wrong things.â
\nThe tribe leader asks the priest for advice from the beast god. It was then their disaster begins. The priest received the word, but the result was â they are ominous beings, betrayers of the beast god. The two of them should have been executed, but their tribe people have good feelings for them, they have never done bad things, and were formerly excellent beastmen in the tribe. So their tribe leader disregarded the priestâs objection and only expelled them. This beastman was not as lucky as they are, thatâs why he was heavily injured.
Ryan got out of bed and looked at the injured beastman. Sensing that he seemed uncomfortable, Ryan took a wet towel and wrung it to wipe his face.
Howth pouted, âBrother, you donât need to take care of him like this.â
Ryan smiled and ignored Howthâs little temper. He was relieved that Howthâs temper is better now. When they were expelled from the tribe, Howthâs temper was very violent, like a wild beast. Heâs much more peaceful now.
Ryan changed to another towel and was about to wipe the manâs body when he found the man looking at him in confusion.
Ryan smiled and said, âYou woke up.â
================================
The author has something to say:
I originally decided to take a break on Friday (because there is still class on Friday night). So I could update more on Saturday and Sunday. When I woke up on Friday morning, I suddenly found that the area behind my ear was swollen, and it hurt. I went to the school hospital, they told me that they could not check it, so I went to the big hospital to check it. Iâm worried. . .
The weather was very cold on Saturday. I ran to the doctor and was told that I was a little inflamed. I was prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and asked the doctor if I needed an infusion. Doctor said no so I return to school in relief.
It was snowing in the sky, and I was relieved after seeing the doctor. But when I went back to school, I found that I had a cold and a headache, oh that hatred in my heart!
Sunday morning is better, but received the notification that Sunday is the last day to hand in homework. I hurried to do the assignments again and it took a day. So my updates did not keep up. And there are two courses in advance in the past two weeks. Mother-daren has already called to announce her verdict. If I failed the subject, she will blame my novel writing whether itâs related or not. Then I will die die die when I return hometown for Chinese New Year. So in the next two weeks, I will turn off the computer and burn the midnight oil. I promise that after the next two weeks, I will try very hard to make up for it.
