Chapter 269: Mu·Suffering the consequences·Resignation
After resolving the threat, Shi Jiaojiao and the others didn't bother to say anything more and trotted all the way home.
Although they solved the problem as quickly as possible, the safe period was only two hours.
Everyone had just returned to the cave and hadn't even caught their breath when the temperature outside rose rapidly.
The roars and screams of the men outside could be heard in the cave one after another, but no one showed an inappropriate sympathy at this moment.
Shi Jiaojiao felt annoyed by what she heard, so she simply pulled Mu Ci into the space to wash up.
Who knows if those people have any diseases, so it’s better to wash them clean.
After coming out of the bath, Shi Jiaojiao did not see Mu Ci in the living room, so she simply went to the window and silently looked at the scenery outside.
The sunshine outside is warm and soft, the sky is blue and the clouds are white. All kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing lushly. The chickens in the chicken coop are now fatter than each other, and a drooling white tiger is squatting next to them.
But the nausea in Shi Jiaojiao's heart did not diminish in the slightest because of the beautiful scenery.
Whenever she thought of these people having eaten two-legged sheep, and even more than once, she could not suppress the murderous intent that surged in her heart.
She knew that after the end of the world began, food would become increasingly scarce, and robbery and murder would inevitably occur.
But isn’t the country doing enough?
No matter how hard or difficult the situation was, the supply of relief food was never cut off.
As long as you follow the official steps carefully, you will not starve to death even if you don’t have enough to eat.
But why do things like two-legged sheep still happen?
Why do people always cross the bottom line of humanity?
Were they really starving to death? No.
They completely released the malice in their hearts.
Just when Shi Jiaojiao's brows were getting tighter and tighter, a small bowl was suddenly stuffed into her hand. In it was a small ball of matcha ice cream with a lot of chopped nuts sprinkled on it.
Mu Ci said in a gentle voice: "You are allowed to eat one more ball today."
Jiaojiao always feels depressed for a while after killing someone, so she went to get ice cream just now.
But this was just to divert Jiaojiao's attention, and the amount given was not too much.
Girls' bodies are naturally cold, and eating too much of this kind of thing is bad for the body.
Shi Jiaojiao scooped a mouthful of ice cream with a small spoon and put it into her mouth.
She knew that Mu Ci was worried about her, but he was really overthinking it.
Not to mention how many people she killed in her previous life, she has no idea how many lives have died at her hands in this life. If she feels disappointed every time, she will definitely become depressed.
She was more disgusting today.
But after eating two bites of ice cream, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately looked up at Mu Ci, "Brother, weren't you feeling unwell just now? Are you feeling better now?"
Mu Ci's appearance this morning did not show any minor illness, otherwise she would not have been so worried. But now seeing that Mu Ci did not look uncomfortable at all, was he just holding it in?
This won’t work. Some serious illnesses are often caused by delaying the treatment of minor illnesses, not to mention that medical conditions are so poor nowadays.
Shi Jiaojiao immediately pulled Mu Ci out of the space and pressed him directly onto the bed.
"Brother, you must not bear it. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mu Ci was originally looking for an excuse to stay with Jiaojiao. If he was in good health, he could kill a cow, but could he say that he was lying?
cannot!
He suddenly became much weaker: "It shouldn't be a big deal, I just feel a little irritated."
Shi Jiaojiao was stunned, and looked at Mu Ci's face: "Is the heat so serious?"
Mu Ci immediately spoke in a serious tone, "I felt a little weak yesterday, and my teeth suddenly started to hurt today. This should be a symptom of getting angry."
He didn't pretend to be sick casually. He had already thought about the cause and symptoms beforehand.
The disease of getting angry is not serious, the only thing is that it takes a long time to heal.
In order to let Jiaojiao stay with him for a few more days, Mu Ci even added the symptom of toothache.
I can't eat because of the toothache. Given Jiaojiao's personality, she must be worried about leaving me these days.
After listening to this, Shi Jiaojiao remained silent.
It lasted so long that Mu Ci almost thought she had discovered that he was faking illness, and he could hardly control the expression on his face.
But the next second Jiaojiao said: "Then I know what medicine you should take."
Mu Ci hadn't thought about the seriousness of the matter at this time. He had already known what medicines he needed to take for a sore throat.
This kind of medicine is generally a proprietary Chinese medicine and you can take some even if you are not sick.
But five minutes later, when he looked at what was in Shi Jiaojiao's hand, his expression finally changed.
Shi Jiaojiao curled her lips and said, "Drinking coptis root water is the most effective way to treat internal heat, and it can also prevent heat stroke."
In her hand was a small casserole and a small bag of dried coptis chinensis.
Before the end of the world, they not only prepared Western medicine, but also a lot of various Chinese medicines. However, these were all pre-matched and were generally decoctions for regulating the body.
Shi Jiaojiao poured a cup of warm water for Mu Ci and placed it in his hand, then concentrated on making the medicine.
Mu Ci smelled the increasingly strong smell of Coptis chinensis in the cave, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
Thirty minutes later, he looked at the bowl of steaming Coptis chinensis water in front of him and couldn't help but purse his lips.
He was not afraid of hardship and had never been afraid of taking medicine, but when he looked at the bowl of medicine that had an unknown amount of coptis chinensis in it, he really couldn't hold it in.
What's more, the longer Chinese medicine is boiled, the bitterer it tastes, but its efficacy will not change.
It only takes fifteen minutes to boil the Coptis chinensis water, but Jiaojiao took half an hour to boil it.
Shi Jiaojiao curled her lips and said, "Brother, just pinch your nose and it will go down in one breath. Don't worry, it's not hot."
Even though she was a little worried at first, she finally reacted after a while.
She is not a fool.
If Mu Ci was really in pain, he probably wouldn't tell me at all, for fear that I would worry. Why would he act so weak? And I didn't see that he was in pain when he killed someone just now.
The moment she figured it out, Shi Jiaojiao was both angry and amused.
Fortunately, Mu Ci knew his limits and was only pretending to be sick but didn't really make himself sick. If that were the case, what would be waiting for him now would not be a bowl of coptis water.
Mu Ci looked at Huang Lianshui, then at Jiaojiao's expression. For a moment he was unsure whether Jiaojiao knew that he was pretending to be sick, and he felt a little uneasy.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She even put the bowl close to Mu Ci's mouth and said, "Brother, drink it quickly. If the medicine gets cold, it won't work."
Mu Ci: ...
It seems there is no way to avoid this bowl of medicine.
But he was pretending to be sick and had to drink it even if he had to kneel down.
Five minutes later, Mu Ciku's expression changed.
He swore that this was the bitterest medicine he had ever drunk in his life. Even after drinking it, he rinsed his mouth immediately, but he couldn't get rid of the bitterness in his mouth.
