Xia Xiao's legs were still a little unsteady, but he could walk. He was not familiar with this coastal city, but after the barbecue on the first day, he memorized the roads he had walked, and knew roughly where the shops and street intersections were, and where the pharmacies were.

This pharmacy is only a few hundred meters away from the inn, and it is the only place Xia Xiao can come to. He can't go any further, otherwise his aura will be exposed, and he will be in trouble!

The pharmacy was quiet, which made Xia Xiao stop. Was this a lack of medical ethics? Or were the people in this city too healthy? Since there was no one? Although hesitant, Xia Xiao still walked in. The pharmacy had a large storefront. The old man grinding medicine powder in the store reminded him of the old doctor in Rongcheng. At that time, he and Shu Shuang lived upstairs from the pharmacy and also bought some medicine, but this time it was for Ah Zhu.

When Xia Xiao was not in good condition, he was more likely to think of her, but he knew that it was useless to think about her. The distance between them was not as simple as flying into the sky and inserting one's hand into the white clouds.

The old doctor had a pair of wise eyes. When he saw Xia Xiao coming, he asked him whether he wanted to prescribe medicine or answer his questions.

"Master, are you still responsible for answering questions?"

"The heart, like the body, can get sick. The latter can be cured by medicine, while the former can be cured by reason. As a doctor, I naturally understand a little bit."

Xia Xiao shrugged. It seemed that this was the reason why no one came to this shop. A doctor turned into a charlatan. Who would dare to come? When he was about to leave, the old doctor said:

"Young man, you are either trapped in love or you are sad because you have not achieved anything in your youth. You are both, why don't you sit down and talk?"

"What can I talk to you about?"

Xia Xiao sneered and walked out of the store.

"Let's talk about the Dragon Palace. After all, you are also injured."

These words floated faintly behind Xia Xiao, making him turn around and walk back.

"How did you know that?"

The old doctor was very proud and motioned Xia Xiao to sit down, but he refused.

"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, your hands are stiff, your eye bags are red and swollen and dark blue, and your lips and face are pale. It's obvious that you've been poisoned by the Dragon Palace."

It seems that he is a martial artist. Xia Xiao asked:

"Are there any medicines?"

“Yes, but it’s expensive.”

Xia Xiao had the money, and he thought money was not as important as life, so he said he would take two doses first and then talk about it. After the old doctor finished taking the medicine, Xia Xiao held it in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.

"If the medicine works, I will definitely come to thank you. But if it doesn't work and the best time is missed, I will definitely let you, a fake doctor, die in the overgrown grass."

"Don't be so angry. Even though I have no one here, I was the largest supplier of antidotes to the Dragon Palace a few days ago."

“Is this the reason why the quality of your medicine is not good?”

"Of course not!"

"If your medicine is good, how could the store be so quiet?"

"Master, have you been sleeping soundly these days?"

Don't say that Xia Xiao was really sleeping soundly. As for other things, the old doctor could tolerate it, calling him a liar, saying he was disrespectful to the elderly, and scolding people who are old and not dead as thieves. But he couldn't say that there was something wrong with his medicine, this was his bottom line and dignity as a doctor!

"My medicine can only pull people out of the hall of death, but if the god of death comes out with a scythe, I can do nothing about it. Master, you are lucky to be alive today."

"Those who were poisoned died?"

"You don't know?"

Xia Xiao shook his head, and the old doctor's anger subsided a little.

"Then I will assume that you are really asleep and tell you the story. Many of the practitioners who returned from the Dragon Palace that day fell ill. They felt cold all over and just wanted to sleep. Many of them never woke up. Many of them woke up and took medicine. They thought they would get better, but they fell asleep again and ended up losing their lives in their sleep."

"Why?"

"The Dragon Palace has been submerged in the sea for thousands of years. I don't know what kind of virus has been bred in it. They went in so suddenly that they naturally got sick. My medicine must be correct and can inhibit the virus, but it can only be used as a supplement. But no one believes it and thinks that I killed them. In fact, those practitioners were too weak to resist the virus themselves. They used the medicine too late and blamed me!"

The old doctor was about to curse, but fortunately there were a few old doctors who spoke up for him, otherwise the shop would have been in jeopardy.

"To be honest, I have another companion whose condition is worse than mine and he needs medicine."

"Boil it three times a day and take it orally. Take it all back."

The old doctor took out a sack filled with medicine wrapped in brown paper.

"so much?"

"No one wants it anyway, so I'll give it to you for free to see if you believe in my medical skills."

Xia Xiao thanked him and said he was welcome. Although the old doctor felt bad, the things that couldn't be sold were garbage. It would be better to give them to people in need instead of piling them up at his disposal. He was a doctor, but also a human being. Although he didn't have the ambition to help the world and sacrifice himself for others, he could still do this.

"If you take the medicine and are still alive, come and see me."

Xia Xiao glanced at the old doctor and nodded deeply. He might want to prove himself that as long as the product he made was not wrong, he would not care about the loss of money and herbs.

Seeing Xia Xiao picking up the sack and going out, the old doctor felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he also felt expectant.

In the streets, officials and civilians alike were discussing the Dragon Palace. Ten thousand people went there, but only half returned. The loss of practitioners made the already bad situation in the South even worse. But human greed could never be stopped, including Xia Xiao and Azhu!

Xia Xiao had entered a place he shouldn't have been, so he was poisoned. The seawater behind that door must be different in color from the normal seawater, so it must be very dirty.

If it were a beautiful fairy tale, I'm afraid it would be told like this. Some people with dreams and ambitions broke into the legendary Dragon Palace, obtained a long-standing spiritual weapon, or realized some true teachings, and became invincible in the world, guarding justice and one side. Maybe there is a princess who was kidnapped by the evil, waiting for the prince-like self to rescue her. But reality is always cruel. No matter what the purpose is, the army of practitioners in the South Country suffered heavy losses!

Fairy tales are perfect in order to make people look forward to the future, but reality is cruel, which is probably a warning not to confuse expectations with real reality.

Xia Xiao's eyes were dull and he became worried. His condition was not bad, he knew his own condition, but would Ah Zhu be okay? She was not strong to begin with, but if she died here, it would be too much of a loss.

He hurried into the room, Ah Zhu was still sleeping, Xia Xiao touched her nose with his fingers, felt her weak breathing, and boiled the medicine. He decided to trust the doctor and try the medicine first.

In the bathroom basket, the Pu Dao was dizzy from the smell of moldy clothes, and the fragrance of the toilet made it even more dim. Xia Xiao saw it, held it, and felt its extreme rejection and curse. But there was no way, the bathroom was the most hidden, who would open it and smell it?

"Take the medicine."

Xia Xiao gulped down a bowl of medicine, thinking that since this medicine has the effect of inhibiting viruses, how does it inhibit viruses? He was a little curious, but the medicinal materials used were not rare treasures. After drinking a bowl of medicine, he didn't feel anything, just a slight heat in his stomach, but he thought this was a normal phenomenon.

The medicine gradually cooled down, and Xia Xiao prepared to feed it to Ah Zhu first. Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't cause any serious damage. Although he didn't know any medical skills, he had learned some relevant knowledge from Shu Shuang. The ingredients in this medicine were just right for dispelling the cold and nourishing the body. But how should he feed the medicine to Ah Zhu? She couldn't even drink water.
