The child nodded, but buried his head habitually and did not look up at Baizhi.
But as he moved, his face was exposed a little, and Bai Zhi discovered that there was a long cut at the corner of his eye. The blood had flowed through his eye and onto his face. He had to close one eye.
Bai Zhi saw the wound still oozing blood and couldn't help but cry out, "You're bleeding!"
She had just taken out the hemostatic medicine from the space, but when she looked up, she found that the child had raised his arm and wiped it a few times with his dirty clothes, while also wiping off some of the dirt on his face, revealing his stubborn little face.
Although some of the blood was wiped off, it still did not stop and continued to seep out.
Although his eyebrow bone was clearly injured, he remained stubborn and said nothing. After wiping it off, he prepared to leave.
Bai Zhi quickly followed, "Hey, wait a minute, I haven't applied the medicine on you yet."
Hearing the word "medicine", he suddenly stopped, his black and white eyes filled with a glimmer of hope. He pointed at the medicine in Bai Zhi's hand and said, "Can you give it to me?"
Perhaps because he spoke so little, his voice was difficult and slow, with a hint of hoarseness, and he spoke one word at a time.
Bai Zhi raised the medicine in her hand and said, "You mean this medicine? Yes, but this is just a medicine to stop bleeding."
When he heard that it was a medicine to stop bleeding, a hint of loneliness appeared on the boy's face.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi guessed that he wanted medicine, perhaps not for himself, so she asked tentatively: "Is there a patient in your family? I have some basic medicine, but I don't know the patient's condition. If it's convenient, could you take us to see him? I'll consider it as a reward for giving me the crystal."
The boy's eyes lit up slightly, but he shook his head, "No, no reward."
Although he spoke very little, it was easy to guess what he was thinking. Looking at his clothes, it was not difficult to imagine that his family situation must be very poor. But even so, his character was not bad.
Bai Zhi said in a gentle voice, "How about this? I need some of these crystals. Can you lead me to the right place and I'll trade them for medicine?"
When Hu Yan and the others arrived, they happened to see this scene.
The girl was slightly bent over, with a smile on her lips, and was talking to a dirty-looking boy in a good-tempered manner.
If it were half a month ago, they would never have believed that a vicious female like Bai Zhi could have such a gentle side, but now, it seems that all the hurt they had suffered seemed to have passed a long time ago, and they haven't even thought about it for a long time.
The boy nodded vigorously.
Bai Zhi stood up and saw Hu Yan and the others out of the corner of her eye, so she smiled and said, "You're here. It's just right. I found a little tour guide. It only takes a little time."
When the young man saw a few more tall orcs, his body tensed up instantly, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes filled with anxiety, fearing that he would not be able to get the medicine again.
Hu Yan smiled faintly and said, "It's up to my wife to decide."
After hearing the tall white-haired orc's agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief that was barely perceptible.
Sang Mo suddenly said from behind, "Mind your own business."
The young man's breath of relief was lifted up again, and he looked at Bai Zhi nervously.
Langqiu called out in a low voice: "Sang Mo."
Sang Mo snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Although Bai Zhi knew that she might be a bit nosy this time, it is said that when you are away from home, the less trouble you can have, the better.
But seeing this young man reminded her of a classmate from her school days who had psychological problems due to bullying. If someone had been willing to lend her a hand at that time, would she have survived?
So when she saw those people besieging him just now, she inexplicably thought of that classmate.
In the situation just now, even if Hu Yan and the others hadn't arrived, she could have asked Yan Yichen to take her into the air in time, and at least they would not be hurt.
Later, with the addition of Hu Yan and others, she was even less afraid. If worst came to worst, she still had the system.
Along the way, Bai Zhi learned that the young boy's name was Sayer, and he had a seriously ill mother. He took the risk to steal the crystal just to change the medicine for his mother.
Unexpectedly, I was seen by that group of people.
Soon, they came to a house. The house was not big, with only two and a half rooms, and the half was a bathroom for washing.
Before they entered, they heard coughing from inside the room, "Cough cough cough..."
When I cough, I feel like I'm going to cough out my lungs.
When the boy heard the cough, his face suddenly changed and he immediately rushed into the house.
Then a hoarse female voice sounded in the room, "How did you get hurt?"
Sayer stumbled over his words, "No, it's okay. I have medicine. You'll be fine."
As he spoke, Bai Zhi knocked on the door and walked in. "Hello."
Seeing several tall figures appear at the door, the female on the bed immediately pulled Sayer behind her, using her weak body to block him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Sayer quickly pulled the female, "Mom, she saved me. She has medicine that can cure your illness."
The female finally relaxed, and then she started to cough violently again. Because she had not seen the sun for many years, her skin was abnormally white, and it turned red due to the violent coughing.
After a while, she gasped for breath and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. Thank you for saving Xiaoye. I know my physical condition well, so I won't waste the medicine."
Langqiu pulled Baizhi back two steps. He had seen other people coughing and vomiting blood before, and then died soon after.
This disease is not easy to cure even in a treatment chamber. If you don’t have it... then you can basically just wait to die.
The treatment chamber is very effective for external injuries. Even if an arm or leg is missing, as long as the arms and legs are still there, it can be cured. It also has a certain effect on internal injuries, but the cure rate may not be as great as external injuries.
Baizhi looked at her symptoms and thought that Sayer had been in contact with her frequently but had not been infected, which meant that it was not consumption, which is the modern tuberculosis.
Hu Yan had a similar idea to Bai Zhi. Since the child was not infected, it meant that it was not contagious. However, there were basically no medical conditions in this galaxy. If they wanted treatment, they had to go to other galaxies.
But seeing that Baizhi seemed to care about the child, he didn't stop her.
Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Have you always lived here?"
The female shook her head and said, "No, I fled here with my beast husband during my late pregnancy. After he got into trouble, I started coughing shortly after giving birth."
She then asked, "Aside from coughing, are there any other symptoms?"
The female thought for a moment and said, "My throat is itchy and I keep coughing. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe."
