After Hu Bugui knew that Xia Xiao and A Zhu were sick, he wanted them to come back. Although the five points were not completely confirmed, two had been ruled out, and the other three could be put aside for now, anyway, Xia Xiao and A Zhu had not exposed their identities. But the virus in the ancient ruins was no joke, and hundreds or even thousands of years of precipitation were enough to break through the physical body and even the defense of vitality.

Xia Xiao found the medicine, but he didn't go back. He wanted to take his time, try to adjust his condition, and then go to the next point. This was a gamble. If he lost, Ah Zhu would be dead. But Xia Xiao took the risk of making a mistake and wanted to take a gamble. Now Ah Zhu woke up, proving that he won!

Ah Zhu leaned against the wall at the head of the bed, wiped the sweat off her face, and when she saw her clothes, she gave Xia Xiao a vicious look, and then slapped her. Xia Xiao was always cautious, so she grabbed her wrist and prevented the slap from falling on her face, but she was surprised and asked her:

"What are you doing?"

"You're taking advantage of me!"

Xia Xiao lowered his eyelids and sighed:

"What's wrong with you?"

"My clothes, you changed my clothes!"

"I changed it."

The fat woman at the door squeezed in and explained for Xia Xiao. She said a lot. She said that she helped Ah Zhu change clothes simply, but she talked a lot about other things, such as how careful Xia Xiao was and how he was careful and thorough. Xia Xiao was tired of hearing these words. He didn't need the boss lady to praise him in front of Ah Zhu.

"Excuse me, Madam Boss."

Xia Xiao almost pushed the fat woman out of the room, then said with an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry, I'm talking to her!"

Xia Xiao didn't ask for advice and closed the door directly. He really didn't understand, saying those words to prove that he cared about Ah Zhu? He didn't want to cause any more trouble now. It would not be a good thing to let Ah Zhu rely on him.

The fat woman outside the door chuckled a few times and glanced at the room. This brat, who had acted as if he didn't care before, now excitedly drove her away. He was really hypocritical. But after so many days, they should have a good talk. Feelings are all built through communication.

No matter what the lady boss and Ah Zhu thought, Xia Xiao just sat on the wooden chair in the cramped room, keeping his composure, and said:

"I thought you could sense it."

"Excuse me."

Ah Zhu lowered her head, her throat a little sore, she was too reckless. No matter how you look at it, she was wrong, she couldn't even find any point to argue. Xia Xiao didn't care much, he said it was okay as usual. But in Ah Zhu's eyes, this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Xia Xiao deliberately changed the subject and talked about the Dragon Palace virus. Ah Zhu never thought that he had slept for so long, and he never thought that he got sick because of the sea water in the Dragon Palace. To be precise, it was the water behind the door.

The topic came to an end, Ah Zhu lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Xiao secretly. He still had that cold and indifferent face, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Change your clothes, and let's go eat."

Xia Xiao mentioned the time before, and now he mentioned the meal again, to wake up Ah Zhu's long-dormant stomach. When it started to buzz, Xia Xiao closed the door again, cutting off the words in his mouth.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Ah Zhu sighed and wished she could beat herself up. She should have asked clearly before taking action. Fortunately, she didn't hit Xia Xiao, otherwise her apology would be useless.

Changing clothes, Ah Zhu didn't have the strength as usual, but she quickly got up and put on a new set of clothes. The time was too short, so she didn't know how to clean up, she just washed her face and let her long chestnut hair hang casually.

"Let's go."

Ah Zhu saw Xia Xiao nodded with a smile, and was secretly happy. She knew that Xia Xiao was not that kind of stingy person. If Ah Zhu was more careful, she would definitely start to think about it and think that Xia Xiao was doing something wrong. But she was always carefree, and at this time, she jumped and followed Xia Xiao to the street outside the inn.

"Just walk slowly when you wake up. Don't rush."

"It's okay!"

Ah Zhu looked around to see if there was any restaurant she wanted to go to. She wanted to eat everything. Xia Xiao followed her, and just two steps away, he left a note at the door of a drugstore, which read:

Thanks for the medicine, it works great.

That day, the old doctor in the pharmacy gave him a sack of medicine. In order to prevent the spread of this matter and someone from finding him and discovering his identity, Xia Xiao could not go back to see him. But he left a note, which was also considered as proof of his superb medical skills. As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance. It is not easy for that charlatan to have such medical skills.

"What are we going to eat?"

“How about a barbecue?”

Azhu wanted to go, but he hesitated for a long time.

“Barbecue without rice is not filling.”

"Then let's go eat first, order a few of their main dishes, and then go for the barbecue."

Azhu's eyes lit up and he looked at Xia Xiao's little face full of disbelief.

"real?"

"Logically, you shouldn't eat so much since the virus has just left, but your stomach is made of iron. As long as you can handle it, eat whatever you want!"

Ah Zhu felt that he could do it, so he jumped up, but he had just woken up, and his feet slipped, and he was about to fall. At this moment of heroism, a prince-like character should appear. Xia Xiao was not a prince, at most he was a butcher, but he also reached out his hand and supported Ah Zhu's slender waist. His hand had not touched a woman's slender waist for a long time, but he was not excited.

"I told you to slow down."

After Xia Xiao finished her lecture, Ah Zhu pouted and walked slowly, but before she could walk a block, she started jumping up and down again. She was the reincarnation of a hungry ghost, and now she was out looking for food, so how could she not be happy?

Xia Xiao shook his head and found a nice restaurant to eat with him. Looking at Ah Zhu's wolfing down, Xia Xiao knew that it was useless to remind her to chew slowly, so he could only watch her eat. He had already anticipated the strange looks from the people around him, so he ignored them. It's not like he won't pay, so he can look at her however he wants!

"Are you here to give me money?"

The waiter looked at each other's eyes and couldn't help but muttered softly. Under the strange gaze, more than fifty plates were stacked together, surprisingly high. This was the amount of six or seven tables at ordinary times, enough for them to make a fortune. Seeing Ah Zhu put down the bowl in his hand and was about to raise it again, Xia Xiao hurriedly said:

"Almost done, there's still barbecue!"

Ah Zhu thought it made sense, so he ate the minced meat and eggplant that he had deliberately saved to go with the rice in one bite, and then drank a bowl of soup before he felt satisfied.

When Xia Xiao paid, the shopkeeper grinned, his face was extremely bright, and he gave Xia Xiao some change, saying that he must come again next time. Xia Xiao nodded, and asked after he and Ah Zhu left the restaurant:

"Are you really not feeling unwell?"

Ah Zhu twisted her slender waist, touched her slightly bulging belly, shook her head, and replied:

"Everything is fine."

That's good. Xia Xiao took her to eat barbecue and bought some fruits along the way. Ah Zhu wanted to eat all the food he hadn't eaten in the past few days, but he was afraid that he didn't have enough money. Xia Xiao said, "Let's eat. It's time to spend money after so many days." Ah Zhu had a stomach that many foodies wanted to have. Today, she ate a lot. When she returned to the inn, it was already dusk.

Ah Zhu was tired from eating and walking today, so he wanted to sleep after washing up. Xia Xiao said, "Go to sleep, he's next door, just call him if you need anything." The landlady gave him the room for free, so Xia Xiao didn't refuse. However, if other tenants knew about this, they would probably think he had made some kind of deal, but he didn't have such a big appetite.

As the sun sets, Ah Zhu smells the aroma of medicine outside the window and falls asleep. When she leans over the window and looks out, the fat woman and Xia Xiao sit around the small stove, decocting medicine and chatting.

"Which food is better?"

“I think what I cook is the best.”

"To be honest, I feel average."

"I don't like your truth."

Xia Xiao smiled, and the fat woman laughed too. They were all jokes. Ah Zhu hid behind the window and secretly looked at Xia Xiao. He held a fan in his right hand, and the rhythm of fanning never changed. He asked where the food was delicious. Was it for him? Ah Zhu was happy just thinking about it. It felt good to be remembered by others.

Perhaps the most feared thing is this, that Ah Zhu would regard Xia Xiao's compensation for his guilt towards him as sincerity and concern for him.

Ah Zhu turned over and lay back on the bed, rolled around a few times, and finally buried her face in the soft pillow. She was a little sleepy, but she didn't fall asleep. She would sleep well after taking the medicine. She had been waiting in the bed, dozing off, and soon got up to look at the small courtyard under the window. Xia Xiao was gone, and he was probably coming up soon.

The door was not closed, and Xia Xiao came in with the medicine.

"If you can't fall asleep, take the medicine, and then go to sleep after taking it."

"I have no strength, can you feed me?"

Ah Zhu stared at Xia Xiao, waiting for him to make a decision. Sure enough, Xia Xiao would not let her down!
