Chapter 406 The epidemic is rampant (4)
When they arrived at the market, the two did not rush in. Instead, they disguised themselves, wearing face scarves and wrapping themselves tightly without exposing their skin.
Because they were not worried about money now, they bought two fur coats as soon as they entered. The weather was just beginning to fall and not too hot, so they were just right for the two of them.
Xia Yueke went straight to the dried meat shop and the dried fruit shop and bought ten kilograms of each.
After thinking for a moment, he asked an orc, "Hello, I want to ask, I'm sick, where is the witch doctor?"
The orc was baffled, but he still said, "Don't you know this? The witch doctor's office is in the largest cave in the south!"
Xia Yuke immediately nodded and thanked him, then took Cangwu to buy a lot of things before going back.
Cangwu looked at Xia Yueke in panic, "Are you sick? You can't have caught the epidemic so soon, right? What should we do? The antidote won't appear for about 20 days. Can you hold on?"
Xia Yueke was speechless. "I'm not sick, I just want to know the location of the witch doctor. We have to go buy some herbs, no matter if they are useful or not. Let's prepare first. What if some herb can suppress the onset of the disease? We won't be worried, right?"
Cang Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You are smart. We haven't started yet. Let's prepare everything and we won't have to worry when the time comes."
The two of them went to find a cave in the south. Xia Yuke felt that she had walked through most of the tribe. After walking for 20 minutes, she was almost exhausted. She didn't expect that this tribe was quite large. No wonder it could accommodate so many humans at once.
When they arrived at the place, Xia Yueke knew which cave it was without having to look for it. This was because the cave was so huge that more than ten people could pass through the entrance, so Xia Yueke and the others walked straight in.
Xia Yueke deliberately covered her mouth, "Cough cough cough... Witch doctor, cough cough cough, I seem to be sick, can you give me some cough medicine?"
The old witch doctor raised his eyelids and frowned, "Why are you all suffering from the same disease today? What's going on? What did you eat?"
Xia Yueke shook her head, looking weak. "Witch doctor, I don't know either. I feel so bad. Do you have any painkillers? I'd also like to have some. Also, my mother has had a fever all over her body these past two days. She seems to be sick too. Could you give her some more medicine?"
The old witch doctor had no doubts and began to prescribe medicine for Xia Yueke one by one.
"This is to prevent pain, and that is for your cough just now. You can drink some if you feel uncomfortable again. Also, your female beast has a fever, right? This is medicine for the fever."
Xia Yueke memorized them all and asked the old witch doctor to make some marks when he was wrapping the medicine.
Cangwu looked at Xia Yueke, who looked like he was about to become terminally ill, and felt a little amused and helpless, but because he wanted to get the prescription, he had to endure it. Others could only see that the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he seemed to be not feeling well.
When the old witch doctor handed the wrapped medicine to Cangwu, he asked, "It seems that your partner is also sick. Is it facial paralysis? Do you want me to make some more? What a poor family!"
Cangwu's mouth stopped twitching immediately and returned to normal. He pulled Xia Yueke and walked outside.
Walking out of the cave, Xia Yue laughed and showed off her eight standard teeth. "Hahaha, you have facial paralysis. You should ask the witch doctor to give you some. Don't you really have facial paralysis?"
Cangwu was helpless and could only watch Xia Yueke smile all the way home.
After arriving home, the two men left their things at home and went out two or three times, spending almost all the money they had. They filled the cabin so much that there was hardly any room for them to stand, and only then did they give up.
By the last trip, the two were exhausted. When they returned home, the sun had already risen and set. Xia Yuke threw their clothes out, quickly boiled some hot water, and then each of them took a bath to disinfect themselves.
"We can't keep these two pieces of clothing anymore. Burn them now!"
Cangwu was very obedient. He didn't ask why and just did as he was told.
When Xia Yueke felt that the virus in her and Cangwu's bodies had disappeared, they felt their stomachs rumbling. They had been hungry all day, so Cangwu volunteered to take on the responsibility of cooking.
But Xia Yue overestimated him. It seemed that this was his first time cooking. He cut the meat into large chunks and had no idea where to start.
Xia Yueke angrily drove the man out of the kitchen, "Forget it, forget it, you go out, I'll do it. I'm starving if I rely on you to cook!"
Cangwu walked out with a hurt expression, but still stood at the door to watch how Xia Yue cooked.
Xia Yueke is a skilled cook in the kitchen. She rinses the rice and puts it in the pot. The flames lick the bottom of the pot, and soon the aroma of simmering rice spreads. Then, she pours the fresh meat into the pot. The hot oil instantly coats the meat, and with a "sizzling" sound, the meat's fragrance permeates the air, and its tender color is mouth-watering.
Then process the fresh fish, season it carefully, put it into the pan and fry it until both sides are golden brown. The aroma of fish and meat intertwined, filling the whole house.
She then neatly cut the fruits and vegetables, adding a touch of freshness to the meal. Even before the food arrived, the aroma filled the air.
Cangwu stood at the door, staring at Xia Yueke blankly.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Xia Yueke, you are really amazing. I don't seem to know anything..."
Xia Yue had no idea what was going on in this person's head, so she just invited him to come over for dinner.
After dinner, Xia Yueke and Cangwu sat in front of the cabin to bask in the sun and digest their food, planning to get busy later.
The two of them had just sat down in front of the door when many players who lived in the nearby cabins like them came.
Over there, three young players were walking towards us, talking and laughing.
A boy wearing glasses and looking gentle and refined was holding a small notebook in his hand, which seemed to record the number of beast coins they had left and their next plans.
The girl next to her had a high ponytail and said excitedly:
"It's really wise for us to share a room this time. If I had lived alone, I would have spent 2,000 beast coins in just a few days."
Another boy echoed, "Yeah, and it's more lively with more people around, and we don't have to worry about encountering any danger at night."
Not far away, four other players were gathered together, discussing something. One of them, a burly man, patted his chest and said, "With me here, we'll definitely be able to get through these few days safely."
A small boy said with some concern, "I hope so. But with these 2,000 beast coins, the four of us can share a room and should be able to last until the end of the mission."
A man and a woman next to them smiled at each other, and the girl said, "It will be no problem if we all come together."
They were all in groups of three or four, rarely alone. After all, 2,000 beast coins wouldn't last that long given the prices here, so it was possible that only four or five people could share a room.
Xia Yueke and his room were the second to last, and few people came to their room, so Xia Yueke waited at the door for a long time, intending to see who lived behind their house. If there were many people, they would be on guard against them, but if there were few people, they could try to win them over.
Suddenly, there was a noise not far away, and two shifty-looking young men surrounded a girl who was holding a lot of supplies in her arms.
The girl didn't panic when she saw so many people. Instead, she asked loudly, "Hey, a good dog doesn't block the road. Do you want to steal my things?"
Upon hearing this, the two shifty-looking men were immediately furious. One of them was extremely arrogant, crossed his arms, and said with a disdainful expression, "Yes, we are here to steal your things. What can you do? We brothers have already observed that you have no companions!"
