Chapter 70 Are You Going to Leave Us?
After eating, they sat together, staring at her intently, curious about what she was going to say, and those who stayed in the tribe today had already guessed what she was going to say.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't beat around the bush with them, and said directly, "Something happened in our tribe just now." Her voice was flat, but those who knew what happened suddenly tensed up and shrank their heads and dared not look at her.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked around at their reactions, "Little Stone was accidentally burned by the freshly fired pottery. I don't want to judge whether it is right or wrong. The matter has passed, and it is meaningless to pursue who is responsible." After a pause, "What I want to tell everyone is how to deal with it if you are accidentally burned."
Others began to whisper, and someone boldly asked, "Aren't we asking the Beast God to protect us?"
"Yes, let the Beast God protect us."
Everyone talked about their ideas, but they all had the same idea, that is, to ask the Beast God to protect them and ask the Beast God to make them better quickly.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt nothing in her heart when she heard these words. After all, she already knew their thoughts. This was just something she expected to happen, so she didn't think anything of it.
After they all finished speaking, Shen Xiaoxiao continued, "But when you pray to the Beast God after you get hurt, will the Beast God protect you every time?"
The scene was quiet at first, and then a new round of discussion broke out. Yes, they prayed to the Beast God to protect them, but the Beast God did not show up every time, otherwise no one would die from injuries or fever.
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately grasped their pain points. Just as she was about to say something, she heard words that almost made her vomit blood, "So the Beast God sent the Goddess to help us."
"Yes, isn't the Goddess sent by the Beast God to help us?"
Shen Xiaoxiao was almost laughed at by their righteous words, but she also knew that this was indeed what they had always thought, from the moment they determined that she was the Goddess.
She took a deep breath and said, "Neither the Beast God nor the Goddess can always help you."
The others looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what she meant.
There was panic in their voices, "Goddess, are you leaving us?"
Did they do something wrong, so the Goddess wanted to leave?
Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "What I want to tell you is that no matter what happens, you should find a way to solve it, and don't ask the beast god for help every time something happens." If there really is a beast god, the beast god will be exhausted to death according to their behavior of asking the beast god for help at every turn.
The witch doctor and others were confused. If they didn't ask the beast god for help, what would they do?
She continued, "For things like scalding today, the first thing to do is to lower the temperature of the burned area, rather than doing nothing and praying for the beast god to protect."
As if she knew what they would say, she continued, "The beast god needs to protect too many people, and it may not come to protect him so quickly and let him get better quickly."
The witch doctor and others were confused. Is that right? Will the beast god also be untimely? There should be, otherwise no one would have asked the beast god before, but still died.
It should be as the goddess said, the beast god has too many people to protect, and it can't come so quickly. They died because they were unlucky.
As long as he waits for the beast god to protect him, he will naturally get better.
"So, in this case, we have to rely on ourselves. We can handle it ourselves, so we don't have to ask the Beast God for help and wait for him to save us."
"Like what happened today, if we had been waiting for the Beast God to protect us, would Little Stone have been crying because of the burns? If the Beast God came late, would Little Stone have scars on his body and suffer?"
"Like I helped him deal with it as soon as I knew about it today, wouldn't Little Stone have suffered less?"
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she left enough time for them to think.
"But, Goddess, we don't know what to do." The witch doctor sighed. If they had a way, they wouldn't put their hopes on the Beast God.
"Yes, Goddess, we don't know what to do either." Others also echoed.
Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't reject it, it would be fine. She was afraid that if she told them, they wouldn't care, or even think she was saying bad things about the Beast God.
"That's why I asked you to stay. I will tell you how to deal with this kind of emergency. If we can handle it ourselves, we don't need to ask the Beast God anymore."
Hearing her say this, the others were instantly excited, "Goddess, please teach us."
"Yes, Goddess."
"Okay, the first thing we should do after being scalded is to rinse the scalded area with cold water, so that the temperature of the wound can be reduced as soon as possible..."
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully explained the steps to them, fearing that they would not be able to learn, and even asked them questions immediately, trying to make them remember this knowledge in their minds.
Although this is not life-saving knowledge, it is common sense in life. For example, it is easier to get scalded after starting to cook things in a pot now, so it is not a bad thing for them to learn more.
"So, what should we do next time we encounter this kind of thing?"
"Soak it in cold water first, and then take it out of the water after the temperature drops completely."
"If the blisters break, do we have to tear off the skin?"
"No."
"Ask the Beast God as soon as possible?"
"No, soak it in cold water first."
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, and was quite satisfied with their answers. After giving them a few words of advice, she let everyone go. After all, they still had to work tomorrow, and she didn't want to delay everyone's rest time.
After the others left, the witch doctor thanked Shen Xiaoxiao for teaching them, and said frankly that they had wronged her before, and asked her to forgive them and not to bother with them.
"Witch doctor, you worry too much, I don't take it to heart." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. If she really cared, she wouldn't teach them these things.
In addition to the need to have a good relationship with them because she lives in the tribe, there is another reason that she accepted them from the bottom of her heart. She didn't take their previous rejection of her to heart, otherwise she would not have taught them to weave baskets and teach them to make pottery, and now she is telling them how to deal with burns.
She did these because she didn't care about what they did to her before.
"Witch doctor, don't say these things anymore. The people in the tribe are very good to me. I just return the favor." After a pause, "I also hope that the tribe can be better."
The witch doctor's wrinkled face was dyed with a smile, "Okay, with the goddess here, the tribe will get better and better in the future."
"This requires everyone to work together, not just my own strength."
"Yes, everyone will work together to make the tribe better." The witch doctor's voice was firm, as if he had seen hope.
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. The people of the White Tiger Tribe were very united. No matter what decision they made, they would work together to complete it seriously. Although she didn't know what other tribes were like, at least the White Tiger Tribe was like this.
