SURVIVORS
Chaptre 346. Gaining Reading Ability
"Help open his mouth" doctor Chandra ordered.
Robert opened a bit of Sunil's mouth. A medicinal pill that was fragrant in spices, slid in. Then Chandra's doctor examined Sunil's entire body with a glowing white hand.
Robert waited for Chandra's doctor to finish with his examination just asked. "Didn't Sunil need a little drinking water?"
"So she could choke. With the pill in his mouth, it will slowly dissolve" Dr. Chandra said.
"Oh, I didn't know there was such a way." Robert was no longer worried.
"He's fine. Should be able to wake up soon. So we'll just wait when she wakes up" says Dr. Chandra.
"Ruler, is the pill I previously drank also yours?" ask Dean.
"Yes." Yeah." Doctor Chandra nodded.
"Is the medicine not suitable for Sunil, then you didn't give it to him?" indra sela.
"Yes, it's a different drug. That's why I wanted to make another medicine for him. It's just that, after a long effort, we just found the medicinal plant" explained Dr. Chandra.
"Indra, are you willing to learn how to make medicine?" ask doctor Chandra.
"Can? Is that easy?" tanyanya enthusiastic.
"Making medicine is not easy at all. But you have a fire that you can control well. That's a good base. Just study the types of medicinal plants and their properties. Do you want to study?" urge doctor Chandra again.
"Yes, I'm ready. Sure thing!" Indra was pleased.
"You're learning this book!" doctor Chandra handed me an ancient book about medicinal plants.
Indra is very happy. "Thank you Ruler" he said, bowing his head.
"Try opening!" you said Niken was curious.
Indra opened the book. His eyes glow reddish. There are many pictures of herbal plants and their explanations.
"I don't understand a single letter" complained Niken.
"Come here" call Dr. Chandra.
Niken approaching. Doctor Chandra touched Niken's forehead. A little light came into his forehead.
"You try to read the book" advises Dr. Chandra.
Niken followed his advice and tried to read the book Indra was holding. "Waahh .. I can read it now!" exclaim Niken happy.
"Do you also want to be able to read the writings of the Light Nation?" ask Dr Chandra to Widuri who is sitting next to Marianne.
"I want to" Marianne answered first.
"certain."
Doctor Chandra did the same to Marianne. "It's a book about applying medicine to cooking."
Marianne received the book and opened it. "I-this .. I can read it now. This book is great!" Marianne was overjoyed by the gift.
"You fit in with that. Some mild illnesses can be cured only with foods and drinks that contain certain herbs" explained Dr. Chandra.
"Thank you" said Marianne.
"I would love to. But I don't know what my talent is" Widuri lowered her head.
Doctor Chandra smiled widely. "Come here" he called.
Widuri approaches Chandra's doctor's seat, replacing Marianne. Doctor Chandra did the same thing to Widuri.
"God...." Widyri rubbed her forehead which felt warm.
Then there were some books in front of Widuri. You choose what you like. Or, what you think you might be able to teach your son, one day, "doctor Chandra bargained.
"It's interesting!" waturi's eyes sparkled.
Doctor Chandra and the others laughed to see him want all the books available.
"alright. You can read whatever you like. Teach that knowledge to the children later," said Chandra smiling doctor. He looks relieved.
"The nation of Light is gone. Only our souls are left, out of the millions that once existed. A little knowledge, if only I had saved, then he would have been destroyed by the stars. But if I share it with our families, then I hope there will be a generation that can continue that knowledge in the future" explained Dr Chandra.
Others now understand the thoughts of the Sovereign far beyond the thoughts of others. They agreed with that.
"Ear afternoon. I'll prepare the dinner first." Marianne stand. Niken and Widuri also followed him downstairs.
He could see traces of fatigue on the smiling face of Doctor Chandra.
"alright. I'm following your advice." Dr. Chandra lay not far from Sunil.
Dean, Indra and Robert let it go. The three went downstairs and cleared up the pending matters.
Robert immediately got the task of milking the cow that afternoon. Meanwhile Dean and Indra had to pick up firewood, as supplies dwindled. They work with passion. Hope grew again, because Sunil had obtained the cure.

After dinner, Dean followed Doctor Chandra who was walking towards the little cottage across the stilt house.
"What are you following me?" ask doctor Chandra.
"About my previous offer. If you want to go see the situation outside tomorrow, I'm willing to replace Sunil." Dean reminds doctor Chandra what they've talked about before.
"I know. But that was before you got hurt. With your circumstances being like that, how could you be strong at pulling back the teleportation gate? Your wounds can get pa—"
"It doesn't hurt anymore" Dean argued.
"Wait another day. May your arms be fully recovered!" doctor Chandra.
"All right." Dean nodded.

The next morning, life in that place returned to normal. Niken and Indra are very enthusiastic about dealing with all the medicinal plants. They went into the medicine garden in the cave.
Doctor Chandra asks Dean for help to make a small bed in the yard of his cottage. Then he brought Marianne je cave, and chose some plant seeds that Marianne could use as an addition in cooking and drinks.
"Dean, I need some wood and board. Can you help me?" ask Dr. Chandra, after Dean has finished building a garden bed with herbs in the yard.
"Can! I'll do it soon. Robert, help me!" call Dean.
"okay!"
The three flew towards the forest, to complete the request of doctor Chandra.
Until late afternoon, they are cool with their respective activities. Marianne opened her book and tagged each type of plant, with a simple sign that she could easily remember.
"Finally it's done too" said Marianne satisfied. "We're going to eat healthy food, right now" he said with a big smile.
"Over this time we also only eat healthy food," said Widuri.
"Ah, you're right. But I will make even more healthful," Marianne said.
"Why do I suddenly feel like we're going to get checked out every day?" canda Niken's..
"Mahaha ...."
The laughter of the women is the melodious music of that small world.
"May this place be immediately tinged with the sweet voices of the little angels," murmured doctor Chandra with a faint smile.
Dean and Robert had returned, carrying a neatly cut pile of wood and planks.
"Save it under my cabin!" said Dr. Chandra.
Dean went down and looked under the hut which was only one meter tall. He did not think again when he saw that Chandra had prepared a pedestal to put the wooden planks and blocks
"Your work is very fast and tidy" said Dr. Chandra. "Thank you."
Robert and Dean nodded.
"I gotta milk first, Dean." Robert flew towards the grassland filled with cattle.
The twilight sky would soon sweep the hidden little world into a complete silence.
