"Oh, right."
Original text from > TaDu Novels~
Lu Mingming recalled the words the little boy she had met by chance had told her, and looked puzzled.
"Aunt Shi, are there any infectious diseases or anything like that outside? I've never heard you mention them before."
"Well, there's not much to say about that."
Aunt Shi remained calm, as if there was truly nothing to say and it was not worth mentioning at all.
She silently refilled all the cups with warm water, then carried the kettle to the kitchen.
Since we couldn't see Aunt Shi's facial expression, we could only vaguely infer her attitude from her words.
"Don't be too afraid or concerned. It's just a minor illness. You'll be lively and energetic again in a few days."
Lively and energetic?
It was completely different from what the little boy said.
The deer's cry echoed the little boy's words.

Within three days, a life-threatening crisis will inevitably arise.
It seems that Aunt Shi has been hiding something.
Aunt Shi put the kettle down and quickly returned, her expression showing no sign of anything unusual.
She brought out a bowl of freshly baked cookies, green and about the size of a fist, thick and substantial, which you could feel by holding it in your hand.
"It's perfect for hammering nails..."
The bald man flipped the straw cake in his hand back and forth, muttering something under his breath.
Aunt Shi ignored him and turned to Lu Mingming: "Speaking of which, how's the matter of finding the little cub going? Where are the herbs I gave you?"
There really were cubs; I didn't expect one of the messages to be true.
Oranar felt a growing sense of frustration. How long had it been? And now, who was it that was about to take over?
"I went to look for it. I didn't have enough money, so I didn't get any information."

Lu Mingming took out the herbs he had carefully stored in his pocket and handed them to Aunt Shi.
"I can't use such expensive things easily."
"You really are... Keep it to yourself! I said I'd give it to you, so don't give it back!"
A hint of annoyance gathered between Aunt Shi's brows.
The bald man, being knowledgeable, spoke first: "I reckon this herb isn't cheap. If you're willing to sell it, you can sell it to me."
As the second-in-command of a powerful pirate crew, he used his keen nose to detect the preciousness of this herb.
Wang Tianhai frowned and explained with disapproval, "If anyone should be mentioned, it should be me first, since I was the one who told her about the precious value of this herb."
He asked Aunt Shi, "Do you know where I can find this kind of herb? It's expensive and hard to find outside, so I really can't get it."
"This herb was given to me by an old man from the Alliance when he was on his deathbed. How would I know where to find it? If I had known, I would be living a life of luxury and living in the City That Never Sleeps by now."
That makes sense. Oranar gestured for Wang Tianhai to step back and not cause any more trouble.

"I'm sorry, my family member is a little slow on the uptake."
"It's okay, kids are just curious."
Aunt Shi had no intention of blaming anyone.
Lu Yan then seized on another point and asked, "If you want to know about the little brat, I can provide a favor."
Oranar glanced over quickly, almost forgetting about the old thief who had taken a picture of the little boss's mermaid treasure.
"That's not a good idea, it would cost a lot of money..."
Lu Mingming was about to refuse when she suddenly remembered the free message the boss had provided.
The next second, Lu Yan summoned a shimmering scale from his personal space and handed it to Lu Mingming.
"With this, I can ask a small business owner for a free message."
