Chapter 776: 774 Helpless

The weather was too hot!

Huanhuan wiped her sweat and asked Little Brat, "How long until we arrive?"

Little Brat said, "At your current speed, you'll probably have to walk for another seven to eight days."

At the thought that she would have to stay in this weather for seven to eight days, Huanhuan felt despair.

She secretly took out an ice cube from her space, wrapped it in cotton, and pressed it to her face. It felt cold and comfortable!

Clement crawled out of her sleeve, wrapped his snake tail around the ice, and rubbed against it with his mother.

After one ice cube melted, Huanhuan took out a second ice cube and continued to rub against it.

Little Brat said, "Don't use too much ice. You might catch a cold."

Huanhuan was very confident. "How can I catch a cold in such hot weather?!"

When it was dark and they stopped to rest, Bai Di spoke to Huanhuan and realized that her voice was a little abnormal.

"What happened to your throat?"

Huanhuan cleared her throat. "It itches a little. I'll be fine after drinking some water."

Bai Di poured her a bowl of water.

She lifted the veil and lowered her head to drink.

Beasts had very good night vision. Even in the dark, Bai Di could clearly see that something was wrong with Huanhuan's face. It was almost sickly red.

He immediately reached out and touched her cheek. It was very hot!

"You're sick!"

Huanhuan still looked confused. "I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy and my throat is itchy. Let me sleep and I'll be fine when I wake up."

Only a fool would believe that she was fine now!

Bai Di forced her to lie down in the makeshift tent. He covered her with a blanket and instructed, "Stay here and don't move. I'll make you some medicine."

He had lived with Huanhuan for a long time. In the past, when he helped her collect herbs, he learned from her that some common herbs, such as shellfish grass, were very effective in treating fever and dizziness.

Bai Di quickly made a bowl of thick medicine and brought it into the tent. He carefully fed it to Huanhuan.

Huanhuan blinked. "Bai Di."

"Huh?"

"Why do you have four heads?" She wanted to reach out and touch his head, but she missed.

Bai Di took her hand. His tone was as steady as ever. "I only have one head. You're sick."

​ "Is that so?"

Bai Di fed her the medicine and helped her lie down. "Rest. I'm going out to take a shower."

"Oh."

Huanhuan lay under the blanket and looked at the top of the tent with wide eyes.

Bai Di walked out of the tent and went to a nearby pool to take a cold shower to wash away the smell of sweat.

When he returned, he said to the children, "Your mother is sick. I have to take care of her later. I don't have time to make dinner. Make your own dinner today."

Shuang Yin quickly asked, "Why is Mom sick?"

Bai Di shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Bai An thought for a moment. "Mom is weak. Perhaps she fell sick because she was too tired from the journey."

Knowing that their mother was sick, no one was in the mood to eat. They ate some dry food and followed Bai Di into the tent to visit their sick mother.

Bai Di frowned at Huanhuan's wide eyes. "You didn't sleep?"

Huanhuan replied seriously, "I'm asleep."

"Are you sleeping with your eyes open?"

"That's right."

Everyone was sure that she was unconscious.

But neither of them was a witch doctor and couldn't treat illnesses. They could only stay by her bed and watch her, silently praying that she would get better soon.

Bai Di said, "I'll take good care of Huanhuan. Go rest."

In order not to disturb their mother's rest, Shuang Yin led her brothers out of the tent.

Shuang Jing leaned over and asked, "How's Huanhuan?"

Shuang Yin said, "Mom is sick. Big Daddy is taking care of her."

"Is it serious?"

"Her body is hot, but everything else is fine."

If she was sick now, the team's schedule would be delayed. Shuang Jing was a little anxious, but he also understood that it was useless to be anxious about this. He could only wait patiently.

Shuang Yin went to arrange for beast soldiers to patrol the night. When she turned around, she realized that Wang Shui had been following her.

"Is your mother sick?"

Shuang Yin nodded. "Yes."

Seeing her frown, Wang Shui took the initiative to comfort her. "Don't worry. Your mother will definitely recover soon."

"I hope so."

In this world where medicine was scarce, illness was equivalent to fighting for their lives with the heavens. Many beasts died of illness because they could not survive it.

That was why witch doctors were so important.

Huanhuan was the only witch doctor on their team, but now that she was sick, the others were helpless.

Wang Shui said, "I studied with the witch doctor in my tribe for a while and know a little medicine. Tell me about your mother's condition. I might be able to help her."

Shuang Yin was quite surprised. "You know medicine?"

"I only know a little."

Even if he only knew the basics, he would still be very impressive in an ordinary tribe.

Shuang Yin looked him up and down. "You're a soul beast and know medicine. How did you become a war slave?"

"The tribe was destroyed, but I was lucky enough to survive, so I became a war slave and was branded with a slave tattoo." Wang Shui touched the tattoo on his neck, and his tone was self-deprecating.

"And your tribe is?"

"A very remote tribe. You won't know even if I tell you. You'd better tell me about your mother's condition. Perhaps I can help."

Shuang Yin felt that he was dodging, but her mother's condition was more important now. Hence, she temporarily suppressed her doubts and described her mother's condition in detail.

After hearing the description, Wang Shui thought for a moment. "Your mother must have caught a cold. This illness can be serious. I'll find something for her. It should be useful."

"What are you looking for?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll show you the things later. You'll know."

Wang Shui turned and walked away, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

After arranging for the beast soldiers on night duty, Shuang Yin sat beside the fire. The others were already asleep, and the surroundings were very quiet.

Before long, Wang Shui returned.

He handed a bag to Shuang Yin. "Take it to your mother."

Shuang Yin opened it, only to see some green and yellow fruits.

She had never seen these fruits before. "These are?"

"These are fruits from jute trees. They're good for treating colds."

In order to prove that there was nothing wrong with these fruits, Wang Shui took the initiative to pick up a fruit and throw it into his mouth to eat.

Shuang Yin walked into the tent with the jute fruits and handed them to Bai Di.

She told Bai Di the origins of the fruits. It was up to Bai Di to decide if he would give them to her mother.

Bai Di picked up a fruit and tasted it.

The fruit was extremely sour.

After making sure the fruits were not poisonous, Bai Di tried to feed Huanhuan two fruits.

The sick Huanhuan was especially stunned. When Bai Di asked her to eat the fruit, she obediently opened her mouth.

She took a bite and was jolted by the sourness.
