Old Uncle Qiu could only vaguely express, "Well, the big bumps that mosquitoes cause when they bite are related to malaria. If we prevent mosquitoes, we basically don’t have to worry about malaria."
"There’s such a saying?" Everyone looked astonished.
However, upon reflection, in the vast world there are endless wonders, and the folk remedies of Traveling Doctors from different schools are always different.
For treating fever, some people use Cockroach as a guide, some use Gecko Attractant, and Doctor Qiu uses poisonous Arsenic. It doesn’t seem to be so strange anymore.
Besides, if you get down to it, this is Doctor Wang’s prescription.
If both Doctors say so, there shouldn’t be any mistake, right?
Everyone was somewhat sheepish.
At that time, when Bai Junjun learned what everyone was thinking, she didn’t forget to ask what a Cockroach was. The day Xiao Shan caught one for her, she was utterly shocked.
This isn’t a cockroach?!
Why did the cockroaches of ancient times have such a pleasant-sounding name! Preposterous!
But, that’s a tale for later.
Right now, everyone carefully washed their hands, preparing to go back and collect their food.
This time, the triumphant return of the young men finally boosted the morale of the disheartened crowd, and the smiles on their faces broadened as they looked at the carts full of food.
Ah Dao wasn’t stingy either. He handed the food to Xiao Chan and then went to see his young master, dusty from travel, followed by Smiling Face and Old Monk, who did the same.
In Bai Junjun’s eyes, aside from loyalty to Li Wenli, a bigger reason for their behavior was that most of these people... were likely socially anxious.
But luckily, in the socially anxious Seven-Person Team, there was also a social powerhouse.
Xiao Chan, tasked by Ah Dao, went about distributing the food to everyone diligently.
Although there were ten carts full of coarse grains, to everyone else, even if it was raw, they would eat it without hesitation.
Moreover, beside the coarse grains, there was also a lot of meat.
After gnawing on tree barks for years, the crowd was moved to tears—Heaven shows mercy at last, the gods had finally opened their eyes!
Seeing the uncontrollable craving in everyone, Xiao Chan didn’t delay.
He divided all the food evenly per person.
Although there was no shortage of food here, there were more than six hundred of them, so in the end, it amounted to only about a three-day ration per person.
However, everyone was already very content.
Bai Junjun’s group of nine, by virtue of their numbers, brought back quite a bit of food.
As they sat together eating, Bai Junjun finally remembered the water bladder she’d left with Old Uncle Qiu.
"Old Uncle Qiu, thank you for keeping an eye on my water. Let me carry it myself."
"Uh..." Old Uncle Qiu was taken aback.
Watching Old Uncle Qiu’s hesitation, Bai Junjun immediately had a bad feeling.
"Well... I just went to see the nobleman in the Horse Carriage, and I gave him the water," Old Uncle Qiu replied somewhat guiltily.
"!!!" Bai Junjun nearly popped her eyes out, "You... you gave it all to him?"
Old Uncle Qiu nodded honestly, "That young master said his life was hanging by a thread. I thought, maybe this Immortal Water might have some effect, so I gave it to him."
"..." Bai Junjun was struck as if by lightning.
That was the Divine Tree Water she had painfully extracted with her Special Ability...
Thinking of that small sapling she had drained dry... she probably couldn’t extract much more from it in a short time, could she?
Bai Junjun was despairing beyond words.
Never did she expect that the water she had worked so hard to procure would end up dressing someone else for their wedding...
Seeing Bai Junjun’s mournful expression, Old Uncle Qiu also felt very uneasy.
After all, Miss Junjun had collected that water, and he had rashly given it away to someone else; indeed, it was not very considerate.
