After repeated coaxing from the Third Elder and many conditions were promised, Soma reluctantly extended his hand to Mr. Dou.

After half a cup of tea, Mr. Dou finally shook his head, indicating that he was powerless. "Ms. Soma's pulse is calm and strong, and there is no sign of any problem."

Meixiang felt a surge of fear, but at the same time she was deeply grateful to Mr. Dou. If he hadn't helped her in time, Situ Yidong might have been the second Soma, or even worse than her.

Situ Yidong bowed to Mr. Dou with gratitude, and he kept this favor in his heart.

The Third Elder was mentally prepared for Mr. Dou's diagnosis. She was already grateful to the Saint and Master Situ for saving Soma's life, so how could she dare to ask for more?

This is actually better, you reap what you sow. Soma became what she is now, and in disguise, she gave Haoyue an explanation and saved her own life.

Everyone sighed, it is really hurting others and oneself, the evil sent by heaven can be avoided, but the evil brought by oneself cannot be escaped!

After Nanny Sang coaxed Soma to go out and play, they sat down again and everyone's attention was focused on Meixiang.

"May I ask, Saint, have you found the reason?" the Great Elder asked expectantly.

Meixiang did not answer his question immediately, but asked them back, "I will ask you a few questions now, please answer them truthfully, the more detailed the better."

"Please speak, Saint. We will answer all you know and leave no stone unturned."

After a moment's hesitation, Meixiang decided to get straight to the point and not beat around the bush: "Isn't it true that men and women in your tribe cannot marry each other? They can only marry within their own tribe, and it would be best if they were close relatives?"

"That's right," the elder answered without hesitation, "In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline and prevent the tribal property from being lost, it has been like this for hundreds of years."

Hearing this, Situ Yidong Muran recalled the conversation between Meixiang and Feng Yizheng that he overheard while hiding in the corner that night. He originally thought that sister Xiang'er had deliberately exaggerated in order to reject Feng Yizheng, but now that he saw the situation of the various tribes with his own eyes, he realized that he was narrow-minded.

He couldn't help but glance at Meixiang with an apologetic look, which made Meixiang look confused. Using his eyes to signal him if he had any problem? Situ Yidong smiled and shook his head.

Meixiang looked at the great elder and the others, and continued to ask: "Does each tribe have its own beliefs, and cannot eat the animals on the totem they believe in?"

"Faith? Totem? Can animals still be eaten?" The rabbit chief opened his big wet eyes, looking confused.

Well, if all small animals looked like you, it would be really hard to eat them. Situ Yidong turned his face away quietly without watching.

"Well, what I mean is, for example, the Rabbit Clan, is it true that they offer rabbits as sacrifices, but are never allowed to eat rabbits?" Meixiang looked at the Rabbit Clan leader and asked more bluntly.

"Ah," the chief of the Mian tribe screamed, his lips trembling and he was unable to speak, as if Meixiang was a man-eating beast, and he would be killed in an instant if he was not careful.

Seeing this, Mr. Dou quickly interrupted to explain: "We don't have any other intentions, we just want to understand it clearly. Only when we understand it more clearly can we find a better solution, right?"

The great elder sighed and glanced at the six clan leaders sitting below him. "Saint, you don't know. As you said, each tribe in the tribe is named after a certain, um, animal, so the people in the tribe never eat these meats."

"You don't eat any meat? Is your body unable to accept it?" Meixiang continued to ask with an expression of "as expected".

"It has been passed down like this for thousands of years."

"So what do you eat everyday?"

"It's the plants we grow. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we can even pick some fruits from the mountains."

Well, Situ Yidong, Mr. Dou and others all held their foreheads with their hands.

The practice of inbreeding over the years reminded Meixiang of the royal family of the island nation of Japan in the 21st century.

If children do not eat meat or eggs, they will inevitably suffer from calcium deficiency. It is impossible for them to stay healthy for many years.

"If, I mean if, those edible animals that are not from your ten tribes, would you still be averse to eating them?" Mei Xiang thought for a moment and added, "If you don't refuse to eat them, the problems in your tribe cannot be fundamentally solved."

This? The elders looked at each other in bewilderment. No one could give them an answer because they had never been taught and there was no record of it in the ancient books handed down by the tribe.

"After you have discussed it, give me an answer." Seeing the gaze of the great elder, Meixiang spoke up and blocked his mouth first.

In fact, she came here for Situ Yidong and the vague feeling in her heart, and inexplicably became what they called a saint. But deep down in her heart, she didn't have a sense of belonging here, at least not now.

Therefore, she will not interfere in any substantive affairs here. At most, she will offer some advice and try her best to improve people's livelihood here and make people's lives better. This is the limit of what she can do, and she can forget about it.

She could be a hands-off boss in Liuzhou Prefecture, let alone this tribe where she had only been there for a few days.

Thinking of this, Meixiang stopped looking at them and picked up the tea bowl to discuss with Mr. Dou who was sitting next to her about how to brew the herbs that Feng Yijia and Chen San had brought back in the past few days.

Situ Yidong couldn't get a word in, so he could only pick up the tea bowl and study the bare surface of the tea bowl, as if there were rare and famous flowers on it.

Seeing that he couldn't get any clues from Meixiang and the others, the Great Elder had no choice but to wave to the six clan leaders, and everyone gathered in a circle to hold a small meeting.

Half an incense stick later, Chief Tiger and others returned to their seats, and the Great Elder was still the one in charge to answer Meixiang's questions.

"Saint, if we do as you ask, can the tribe's problems be completely solved?"

"No one can guarantee that any method is 100% effective. I am only giving you suggestions based on what I have learned. It is up to you to do it or not, and the effect is up to God."

"But then again, do you have any better ideas?" Meixiang asked with a smile.

Want to strangle Sister Xiang'er with words? Then he really found the right person. If he doesn't choke them to death, he will lose. Situ Yidong looked at the elders and others opposite and sneered.

The third elder was a woman, so she was a little thin-skinned. After being bullied for a few words, her face turned red with shame.

Seeing this, Mei Xiang secretly sighed, but her soft heart prevailed, and she patiently explained: "I don't know how much you know about my experience, so I will briefly explain it below. As for whether you believe it or not, you can decide for yourself how much to believe it."
