Chapter 547: NPC 5 in the Natural Disaster Game
Obviously, this is the difficulty the game adds to the NPCs after they kill them.
After confirming that players cannot kill NPCs at will, Feng Niang is not as worried as before.
Some players may not know the consequences of killing NPCs at first, but now someone has given them a sample, so those who don’t know will at least have some scruples before taking action.
The rain has been falling for three days.
The heavy rain gradually turned into light rain yesterday, but this kind of weather is not so easy to bear either, because the temperature is constantly rising, resulting in a layer of fog in the rain.
There was an uncomfortable sticky feeling in the air, tightly enveloping the entire town.
Such hot and humid weather undoubtedly provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria.
Feng Niang couldn't help but feel a little worried. She was afraid that an infectious disease would break out in the town.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, among the townspeople who came to the store to shop, Mr. Xu had obvious red rashes on his arms.
Feng Niang asked with concern, "Uncle Xu, what are these rashes on your arms?
You must hurry to the pharmacy to get some medicine, don't delay, or your condition will get worse."
Mr. Xu looked at his arm nonchalantly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's probably a bug bite.
When I woke up this morning, I noticed a few small red spots on my body, but they were just a little itchy, nothing serious."
Feng Niang then asked, "Does anyone else in your family have a similar situation?"
Mr. Xu thought for a moment and replied, “Only my little granddaughter has a few.
Children's skin is delicate. You reminded me of this.
I have thick skin, so a few insect bites don't matter to me, but children are not as tough as me.
Shopkeeper Feng, I'm leaving now. I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some ointment for my granddaughter."
After saying that, he took the things he bought and walked out of the store, apparently heading towards the drugstore.
Feng Niang smiled and said, "Okay, come often."
Feng Niang turned around and found Cao Dongsheng standing beside her with a serious expression.
Feng Niang said, "Xiao Cao, you stay in the store and take care of it. I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some insecticide and anti-itch ointment.
Now that there's been one case, there are likely others in town who have been bitten by the bug.
This awful weather, we still have to take precautions in advance."
Feng Niang sounded relaxed, but in fact she already had a plan in mind.
Cao Dongsheng and Feng Niang had the same idea.
"Boss, can you give me an advance on my wages? I also want to buy some ointment to take back."
Feng Niang understood his thoughts and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll bring back the portion you want as well. You can keep an eye on the store."
After saying that, she walked out of the store with her purse and umbrella.
Cao Dongsheng responded from behind: "Okay, don't worry, boss."
Feng Niang strolled on the street. Due to the continuous rain for several days, there were very few people setting up stalls, and only those shops with storefronts were still open for business.
Feng Niang deliberately walked along the wall and chatted with familiar shopkeepers when she met them.
She greeted the rouge shop owner Liao: "Shopkeeper Liao, it's raining, why are you busy now instead of taking a rest?"
Shopkeeper Liao put down his work and came over. The two of them stood at the door of the store and started talking.
“It’s been raining for the past few days, and I’m worried that the rouge will get damp and affect sales, so I’m checking it out.
Why are you not in the store on a rainy day? "
Feng Niang explained, “My shop is quite quiet, with nothing to do, so I came out for a walk and buy some things.
Just now, Mr. Xu from the front street came to my shop to buy lamp oil. I saw a lot of small red spots on his arms, so I asked him some more questions out of curiosity.
He said he was bitten by an insect.
I'm afraid I'll get bitten too, so I plan to go to the pharmacy to buy some preventive medicine and anti-itch ointment."
At this time, Mr. Fang, the owner of the dim sum shop, heard the conversation and joined in.
"Mr. Xu's family also has red spots. My second child woke up today with a rash on his body.
I thought it was because the weather was too humid, so I was drying my quilt at home.
Hearing what you said, it really could be an insect bite. I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine later."
Shopkeeper Liao suggested, "It's certainly possible that it's due to the damp weather, but Shopkeeper Fang, why don't you take Erwazi to the clinic and have a doctor take a look, lest the medicine you buy isn't suitable for him."
Feng Niang also agreed: "Shopkeeper Liao is right. We are just guessing now, so it would be safer to let the doctor diagnose it.
In weather like this, who knows whether it’s because it’s too humid or because of insect bites.
After the examination, I will prepare some medicine for my family based on the diagnosis, so I can feel at ease afterwards."
Shopkeeper Fang thought it made sense. He originally thought the child was just damp, but now it seems that he really can't take it lightly.
He returned to the backyard of the shop, brought the child out, and then they all walked towards the clinic together.
When they arrived at the clinic, they saw that several people seeking medical treatment had already gathered there.
Without exception, they all had some red rashes on their arms and bodies.
The adults could still endure the discomfort and wait silently, but the children could not stand the itching at all. They cried and made a fuss, and the noises made the already stuffy clinic even more irritable.
Looking closely at these patients with rashes, most of them are elderly people and children, and the young and strong ones are accompanied by their family members.
The only one who had the rash was a young man who looked like a scholar. He was thin and had a pale complexion. He looked sickly.
Feng Niang thought to herself that judging from the current situation, it was most likely related to physical condition.
If it is really due to physical constitution, then the theory that it was caused by insect bites is difficult to support.
Feng Niang felt a strong desire to explore, and she wanted to go forward immediately to take the pulse of these patients and diagnose them.
It’s a pity that in this life, she is just an ordinary shopkeeper and has no ability to treat patients. If she asks to take someone’s pulse, no one would be willing to do so.
She could only watch as the doctor prescribed medicine for those with rashes.
However, all the prescriptions the doctor prescribed were for treating eczema.
Feng Niang sighed inwardly. These prescriptions were obviously not suitable for the symptoms. It seemed that the doctors could not see the real illnesses of these patients.
In this case, the plan to stockpile medicine will have to be changed.
In the end, Feng Niang only bought two boxes of anti-itch ointment and some medicinal herbs with disinfectant properties.
She thought, since we still don’t know what caused these rashes, it’s always a good idea to disinfect and purify the environment frequently.
When Shopkeeper Liao saw Feng Niang bought so many medicinal herbs, he couldn't help but remind her.
"Shopkeeper Feng, the weather is hot and humid right now, and medicinal herbs are hard to preserve. If you buy too much, they might get damp and go bad."
Shopkeeper Fang also echoed.
"Yes, if you need anything, you can always come to the clinic and buy it. There's no need to buy so much at once."
