Chapter 101 Traditional Habits (June 26 1/1 Update) Ask for subscription
Sun Lien walked to the camp with shaking hands, and his whole person was in good spirits. It has always been a problem for him to not go on stage to pull the hook, and now that this task has ended successfully, it makes him feel a lot more comfortable.
Perhaps because they had waited too long, as soon as Sun Lien appeared at the gate of the camp, many patients stood up together and prepared to continue approaching, while the knights of the Tushi clan in the distance also rushed over, wanting to inquire about the treatment of the great wizard.
The armed guards became nervous again, they shouted loudly, and it took a long time to reorganize the order, and specially sent two guards who knew the local language, armed with the young wizard Usama, to Sun Lien.
"Hello, outsider. Usama nodded to Sun Lien, and politely untied the waist knife hanging from his waist, handed it to the nervous armed guards on the side, and said to them, "You can't carry weapons when you meet a witch doctor, and we also have this etiquette." β
Felipe, who served as a translator for Sun Lien, translated every word Usama said with great professional quality, even to the armed guards. Then he whispered to Sun Lien, "This person should be a wizard, and the pile of feathers he wears on the outside is a symbol of his status." β
Sun Lien was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "The old man who was sent in just now ......"
"It must be a peer, maybe it's still from the same tribe. Felipe's translation tasted right, "If it's from the same tribe, there may still be direct blood relations." β
"How's my grandfather doing?" asked Usama after Felipe had finished speaking, "and he's ...... Are you alright?"
I didn't expect to come to Africa and have a conversation with the patient's family. Sun Lien smiled, this is familiar to him, "The current situation has basically stabilized, but because the operation has just ended, it still needs to be observed for a while to fully ensure his safety." β
"So, Grandfather still needs to live here?" Usama frowned, he hadn't experienced much of this before. Among the knowledge taught to him by his previous experience as a witch doctor, there is no such thing as "inpatient observation".
"Yes, at the moment, it will take at least seven days. Sun Lien replied, "But after all, he is older, and he will definitely not recover as quickly as a young man." So there must be seven days, and I will be able to leave safely...... It's hard to say how long it will be, but in the long run, it's possible for a month. β
Osama's expression became more and more serious, and after he was silent for a long time, he asked, "How do we need to solve the problem of food and accommodation during this time?"
"There is no charge for the treatment of the medical team, and there is no charge for the subsequent hospitalization and daily living. Before Sun Lien came, Liu Tangchun had already explained these details to him, "If you eat...... If the patient is able to eat afterwards and is willing to eat our food, there is no charge. β
It is good to set up a hospital in the camp of a Chinese-funded institution, and when it comes to the operating costs of the medical team, everything that can be solved at the national level will be solved, and all that can be borne by Chinese-funded enterprises will also be borne by Chinese-funded enterprises. In this way, poor patients in the local area have much less peace of mind about coming to receive treatment β at least not because they cannot afford the most basic food and lodging.
"The diet of wizards has special requirements. Without Osama speaking, Felipe began to explain, "The sorcerers of the Tushi tribe do not eat animals in the water, do not eat animals with feathers, and do not eat carnivorous animals. They had to eat antelope meat every three days, and every ten days, they had to fast completely for a day and pray for a long time......"
Sun Lien listened to Felipe's explanation while thinking in his heart, it would be easy not to eat fish and shrimp, and it would be okay not to eat chickens and ducks - anyway, the meat provided in the food in the canteen of the Seventh Bureau was mainly pork.
However, the more troublesome thing is to fast completely and eat antelope meat once. Comparatively speaking, a complete day of fasting is the best solution. Although there is no compound nutrient solution that can be used like the Siyuan, at least people will not go hungry if they hang glucose drops for a day.
But this antelope meat ...... Sun Lien really couldn't figure out where to do it.
"We were able to provide meat for the hunt, but the hunting grounds were too far away. Usama hesitated, "It takes at least a day to get here from the hunting grounds, and the fresh meat is bound to spoil in this kind of weatherβbut my grandfather has bad teeth and has not been able to eat jerky since a few years ago." β
Although Sun Lien really wanted to say "This kind of thing is my business, I can't eat antelope meat and I can't die", but after all, he is now a medical worker who provides medical assistance on behalf of the country, and he doesn't care about this, he always has to earn some face for the country. So he could only actively use his brain to help think of countermeasures, "Otherwise, you wait a while, and then ask the master of our canteen to think of a way after I have triaged the other patients?"

After the diversion was completed, at Sun Lien's request, and at the same time, looking at the face of the pile of spices, the busiest canteen master in the camp personally arrived at the scene, and after spending about five minutes to understand what happened, the master directly threw out what Sun Lien wanted to say before, "Is it okay not to eat?"
"This is our tradition and we can't go against it. Usama shook his head, "According to tradition, wizards are only freed from their obligations after death. β
The master scratched his head and muttered in a low voice in Sichuanese, "Do you still make flowers and flowers from the turtle thieves?" and then changed the solution, "Do you have to eat all the sazi antelope meat that day, or can you mix and match?"
"As long as you eat it, it's fine. "Even our tribe can't guarantee that we will be able to provide meat from freshly hunted antelopes every day β it's a difficult job to capture them." β
"You just said that you have antelope jerky?" the master seemed to have found a solution, "Do you have it with you now?"
Osama pulled a palm-sized piece of meat from his pocket and handed it over, "This is." β
The master took the piece of jerky in front of him, knocked on the piece of meat, and then frowned, "Dog Ridi, it's like a piece of temple head!" Then he sniffed it again, and continued to shake his head, "Even the salt is not a word, the dog doesn't say anything!"
After disliking African jerky from a professional point of view, the master used a knife to cut a piece of meat from the jerky, and then packed it in a paper bag, "This piece can be used three times, don't worry, no problem!"
When Sun Lien was about to question whether the other party knew about the Great Wizard's injury, the canteen master gave his own solution, "This meat is powdered with a grinder, and a little bit of it is mixed into a water cup and drunk!" He explained to Sun Lien and Felipe very seriously, "If you want the old man to get well quickly, it's better not to eat this kind of meat." If you have to eat it, then make a little meat powder, you know what it means, right?"
Sun Lien understood the meaning, but Felipe...... Not necessarily.
