Chapter 769: I Don't Know How to Treat Him Either
Everyone was gathered together; Xiong wanted to count if everyone was present, but it was impossible now because among these people, basically no one knew how to count, and those who knew a little could not count them all; they did not even know how many people were in their own tribe.
Xiong asked the crowd: "Which one is the Tribal Chief? Step forward."
No one answered, and Fu said in a low voice: "Leader, our Tribal Chief, he seems to be dying."
"Hmm? Fu, get up and point out to us which one is your Tribal Chief." Xiong did not understand this tribe, so he could only rely on Fu.
Fu was extremely weak now, but he still braced himself to stand up and pointed out Ma, who was lying on the ground unconscious, to the Huaxia Soldiers; the fate of the Chishe was now perhaps in Fu's hands.
Xiong looked at Ma lying on the ground and was also at a loss; they had not brought a medic along. Xiong put his hands on his hips and said to the Soldiers: "Didn't you learn First Aid? Whoever has the best level, come and see what the situation is with this person."
Everyone's eyes immediately fixed on one of the Soldiers; he happened to have the highest score in the First Aid Phylum among their year of recruits. That Soldier was also a bit guilty; after all, what he learned was all theory, and it was just things like first aid bandaging; as for the medical aspect, it could be said he was almost completely ignorant.
So he could only say truthfully: "Marshal, I'm afraid I can't do this; what we learned was all first aid; I don't know how to treat illnesses and save people."
Xiong beckoned to him, signaling him to come over quickly: "I'm just letting you see what his situation is and if he can be woken up; I'm not asking you to treat his illness and save him."
That Soldier said "Oh," immediately sheathed his Knife, and trotted a few steps to the group of fainted people. He first looked at him as a whole and felt that his limbs and such were not deformed, so the possibility of a serious fracture was relatively small, but he still touched Ma's limbs all over and did not feel any place with a fracture.
Afterwards, he also saw that Ma's breathing was normal, only a small amount of blood had flowed from his nose. He pried open his eyelids and saw that the pupils were also fine. After that... after that, he didn't know what else to do, so he just squatted to the side and scratched his head.
"Continue, what's wrong?" Xiong asked, puzzled.
The Soldier smiled embarrassedly: "Marshal, I only know this much. I see that his injury shouldn't be serious, and there's no fracture. Internal injuries, should, should not be serious, right? His vital signs are still quite stable, but no matter what, I don't know anything else. I think he might just have been stunned by the blast."
Xiong naturally would not blame him; after all, a Soldier is a Soldier. If Soldiers could all treat illnesses, then why specifically send a medic? So he just asked: "Then how can we wake him up? Would splashing water work?"
The Soldier took off the water gourd from his waist: "I'll try." Afterwards, he opened the gourd and poured water onto Ma's face, but Ma only had a twitch in the muscles of his face and showed no sign of waking up. The Soldier also looked up at Xiong with an expression of helplessness.
Seeing this, Xiong could only wave his hand and say forget it, then said to the very panicked Chishe people: "Alright, your Tribal Chief is not dead, but was stunned by the thunder. He might wake up after a sleep. Now that your Tribal Chief is not here, I will tell you directly if I have anything to say."
"I will talk about us again. I am a Soldier of the Huaxia Tribe. I command over six thousand Soldiers, just like these Soldiers, who only fight and do nothing else. Every single person is as strong as them. Our Huaxia territory is larger than the former Jiangshui Tribe, and our power is also stronger than the Jiangshui Tribe."
"When they, the Jiangshui Tribe, fled to our Huaxia territory, there were still over ten thousand people. Because they occupied our Huaxia territory, they were defeated by us and became Slaves. Except for the few who resisted and refused to surrender, we did not kill a single person."
"A portion of them, those with skills, don't even have to be Slaves. This Xi is still a small Leader in our Huaxia now. His tribesmen in Huaxia don't have to worry about food, let alone freezing. In Nature, they live more comfortably in Huaxia than in the Jiangshui Tribe."
When Xiong said this, those few people from the Jiangshui Tribe did not show any inferiority; instead, they proudly raised their heads and puffed out their chests. Their sturdy bodies and slightly protruding bellies proved that their food was never lacking, and they could even have enough energy stored in their bodies.
And the people of the Chishe clearly felt it was incredible. Xiong did not intend to explain, just continued: "As for you, I originally did not want to attack. As for injuring Fu, it was because they were peeking at us in the bushes; our attack was certain, but we have already treated him. As long as he is obedient and lucky, his arm will be able to recover well before long."
"As for you, resistance is also to be expected, but not listening to us, the current situation is the result of your own choices. You can rest assured, I will not kill any of you, and I will not kill your Tribal Chief either. As for when he will wake up, I am not sure, and I probably don't have time to wait for him to wake up, so you can just tell him the following words when he wakes up."
"Our main purpose for coming this time is to attend the Autumn Gathering, and we will leave in a moment. I plan to take Fu along, and bring a few of your people who are more familiar with the road to the gathering. You don't need to worry about food and safety."
"After the gathering ends, I will return here and take you to our Huaxia territory. I have said that the Huaxia territory is very large; our hundred thousand plus people cannot even fill it, so we need tribes like yours to move over and live in a place relatively close to our city."
"Huaxia will provide you with protection, help you clear out the more ferocious wild beasts, and provide you with Weapons and grain, letting you settle down in the place I have chosen."
"What you need to do is to look after and develop that piece of land well. If other tribes come, just tell them that it is Huaxia territory. Our Soldiers will come over often to provide you with help. If you have no food, we will send you food. If you go now, I can guarantee that not a single person will starve to death this Winter. Huaxia has more grain than can be eaten; even the Huaxia Slaves do not go hungry."
Seeing that the people of the Chishe were still somewhat nervous and perhaps had not taken his words in, only considering their own safety, Xiong said to the Soldiers to ease the atmosphere: "Alright, put away the Weapons and stay a little further from them."
Afterwards, he said to the people of the Chishe: "You don't have to squat; you can sit or stand. Whatever is relaxed and comfortable, just do that; don't be afraid."
