Chapter 161 160. Ginseng Water

Huaiyu had been adventuring and fighting in the fantasy forest all night, struggling in pain, and had not slept well at night. When he woke up in the morning, his head was dizzy and he was too weak to greet Kataro.

Fortunately, Kataro was considerate. He turned around and took out a green meatball from the large storage box in the nest. When Huaiyu took it, he smelled a strong mint scent.

I guess I found the wild mint somewhere.

But her mental state is not good enough. She can take it but she can't drink it.

So I had to thank him awkwardly, then sorted the new meatballs in Kataro's bowl by color and stuffed them back into the sealed jar.

It was really a chosen worker. The big white porcelain bowl could not hold the fruits of a day's labor. When Huaiyu was rummaging through junk, he found a storage box without a lid. After washing and drying it, he completely replaced the bowl.

Kataro liked it very much because the storage box was marked with a capacity of 40 liters, which was more than 10 times that of the bowl.

It has become more motivated for this and now never goes home until dark.

Huaiyu found seven more storage boxes of the same style. They were piled up in a mess and contained some medicines, instruction manuals of household appliances, torn plastic bags, label papers and other miscellaneous things. He strongly suspected that they were used to store sundries in the past.

One of them had a hole in it and could only be used as a basket for miscellaneous items.

There is also a deep crack. It is fine for daily use, but not for liquids.

The remaining 5 were of different sizes, the smallest one was only the size of a palm, and Huaiyu happily decided to use it to hold her rubber hair band.

The largest one looked like a large storage box for luggage, with a capacity of 80 liters, and she used it as a water tank without hesitation.

A single bottle of water can be used for several days, so you no longer have to run back and forth to fetch water every day.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the barnyard grass beside the pond from afar, and then thought of Zhou Qian's well, and her heart was truly filled with envy.

Thinking of this, she put the two large pots of ginseng tea she had brewed yesterday into the backpack - although she drank a large bowl and didn't see any effect, she had a dream at night!

Maybe it was the tonic properties of the medicine that made her nervous at night? We can't waste it, the good stuff should be saved for the patients.

Then there were the peaches whose skins were about to wrinkle. They were delivered in a large basket. Every time she went to see Zhou Qian, she would bring two with her, and then bring back the peach pits and plant them one by one by the pond.

But only a few days had passed, so today when she saw how much was left, she gritted her teeth and simply poured it all into the backpack.

After all this trouble, the backpack was heavy again, and Huaiyu was really afraid that he would be weighed down and unable to grow taller.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself again, so she opened the sugar jar and pinched out a piece of rock candy before leaving.

The sweet taste instantly awakened her spirit and also awakened her worry about Zhou Qian.

…

In the hospital, Zhou Qian looked haggard, but he seemed to be in good spirits. When Huaiyu opened the door of the ward, he was walking slowly, holding on to the railing on the wall. Apart from his slow movements, it was hard to tell that he had a prosthetic limb.

She was stunned.

Then they cheered: "Can we leave so soon?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qian's brows were also filled with happiness: "It integrates very well with the new material, and it adapts very well, as if it were really my own leg. If everything goes well, I will be able to be discharged from the hospital in three to five days."

He looked at Huaiyu, walked slowly to the bedside and opened the drawer. There was a trading bracelet inside: "Have you visited the new house? Please help me purchase anything it needs."

He motioned Huaiyu to hand over the bracelet, but Huaiyu said awkwardly: "I forgot to check the house when I went back last night... I forgot this morning... I also forgot this morning..."

Building houses is really efficient nowadays.

When she went back yesterday afternoon, the surroundings were already quiet. Zhou Qian's new house was intact even to the roof, and there was no movement this morning, so it seemed that everything inside had been put in order long ago.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Qian insisted, "Take it. It's not easy for you to save up an integer. I have made merit this time, plus the disability allowance and some other income. Now my savings are much larger than yours."

Huaiyu thought about it, but still shook his head, full of ambition: "I'm going to sell peaches today, which will bring me another income!"

"Wait until I go back tonight and take a look. I'll tell you if I need anything tomorrow."

Zhou Qian's eyebrows jumped.

He eats two peaches every day, so how could he not know the quality of peaches? But Huaiyu said it so naturally, I'm afraid he has even found a reliable channel.

After hesitating for a moment, he also put away the bracelet: "Okay, then you should be careful."

Huaiyu nodded happily, then put down the backpack, took out eight big red peaches from it, and stuffed them into the drawer one by one:

"This is for you to eat."

Then--

"look!"

Huaiyu proudly took out two large kettles from his backpack. One was an electric kettle that every household used before the disaster, and the other was an ordinary stainless steel thermos kettle - of course, there was no difference between them nowadays, they could only be used as kettles.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The base of the electric kettle was gone, and Huaiyu had found it from a pile of junk.

She said stealthily, "I got some ginseng roots to make you some tea to replenish your body, drink more!"

Ginseng?! Even though Zhou Qian was mentally prepared for Huaiyu's various secrets, he was still shocked at this moment.

"This ginseng must be the dried ginseng from before the catastrophe, or has it mutated in some other direction?"

Huaiyu responded with a blank and clear look, only knowing that it was new.

Zhou Qian: …

Forget it, just pretend he didn’t ask.

As he spoke, Huaiyu had already filled his cup.

After soaking overnight, the water in the pot took on a slightly yellowish color, and the color was darker than when he drank it yesterday, and even the medicinal taste was more obvious.

Zhou Qian wanted to say that he was not thirsty, but Huai Yu had already happily carried the backpack: "Drink quickly, I only have these two water bottles at home now, I will come to take them back later."

Zhou Qian: “…”

He looked at the two kettles in silence. The stainless steel kettle was stamped with 2.8L, and the capacity of the kettle was 1.8L.

During this time in the hospital, he had to receive continuous infusions every day, 5 to 8 bags of medicine a day, and various oral medications. In fact, his demand for drinking water was very little.

You may not even take a sip from the cup in a day.

But, that’s ginseng tea!

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but took the cup and drank it in big gulps.

Thank God, my physical condition has been strengthened after the disaster, so at least I shouldn’t be easily poisoned by water now... right?

Huai Yu smiled and said, "Then you continue to exercise. I have to go to the market in the morning when there are fewer people."

It also saves you from being squeezed around on the bus, which would be a hassle if the peach is exposed.

Update 1. It's been a while since I've had a complete vacation. After I get the 30-day continuous update badge in a few days, I'm going to take a day off for both books! (End of this chapter)
