The little girl who was still a little uneasy heard Elizabeth's promise, her eyes suddenly lit up and she bowed deeply: Thank you, sister Elizabeth!
The blue-haired girl swallowed the meat in her mouth, took the garland from the little girl's hand and put it on her head. She turned around and showed off to Zhao Sida: "Look, look!" This wreath looks great on me!
The doll girl originally wanted to deliberately choke her, but when she saw the little girl's anxious eyes, she could only look away and tell the truth: Yes, it's very pretty.
Hey~ Elizabeth's eyes were crooked, and two dimples appeared on her face. She brought a new bowl, poured soup into it, and looked at the little girl next to her and asked: Speaking of which, where did these flowers come from? ah?
Although she was a little scared at first, maybe it was because of the sunny and warm smile on Elizabeth's face, or maybe it was the reassuring affinity she exuded. The little girl quickly let down her guard against her: she picked it in the flower garden, there I was taking care of all the flowers, so I picked some and made them into garlands for soup with my elder sister.
After saying that, she stared at the bowl of broth again.
Elizabeth smiled, but fearing that she would be burned, she found a bowl and covered it outside. Then she handed it over: Come, eat while it's hot.
The little girl shook her head and did not reach out to take it. She looked at the indigo pattern on the mouth of the bowl, swallowed and tried to look away: Mom said that her brother was sick, very sick, and the teacher said that sick people need to supplement nutrition. So I want to take the soup back to my brother
As she said this, the little girl looked at the village chief. She knew that the bowl belonged to the village chief, so she was also asking for his permission.
The village chief was startled, and the hand that was scooping soup stopped: Is Xiao Shuan's illness more serious?
The little girl didn't speak, just nodded with a sullen face.
Alas, the old man's expression became much gloomier, and he didn't say anything more. Okay, remember to bring it back to me after you drink it. By the way, help me tell your mother, and said: We will think of a solution about the medicine. .
The little girl hummed slightly.
It's for her brother, Elizabeth murmured, taking another piece of meat from the pot and putting it into the bowl.
Then drink this bowl first, and then take another bowl back to your brother~
But like this, the little girl raised her head in surprise. She seemed to think this was not good, but her words were interrupted by an unsatisfactory gurgling sound coming from her abdomen. She covered her stomach in panic, her dirty little face flushed. Her slightly flushed ears were quickly stained with a layer of red clouds.
It’s okay, just take it! The blue-haired girl thrust the bowls in front of her. One bowl is to thank you for taking care of those flowers, and the other bowl is to exchange for the garland you made~
The little girl's eyes lit up and she swallowed involuntarily. She stretched out her hand to catch the bowl and pour the soup into her mouth.
At this moment, a wide sleeve stretched out from her side and rested on her wrist, gently stopping her reckless move.
The little girl turned her head and looked at Zhao Sida who stopped her in confusion and confusion.
Be careful of scalding. The doll girl reminded her expressionlessly, as if she was sighing, and glanced at Elizabeth with a complaining look, saying simply and concisely: She is extremely talented and is not afraid of being burned. You should not imitate her.
Oh no! The blue-haired girl's eyes lit up as if she understood what she meant, and she quickly echoed: Yes, yes, yes! Be careful when scalding, this is freshly cooked soup!
Then he found a spoon from the village chief's tableware and said, "Here, use a spoon to drink. Don't be impatient. Remember to blow the spoon after it has cooled before drinking. Do you remember?"
The little girl nodded obediently and took the bowl and spoon. She suppressed the greed and appetite in her stomach and followed her instructions, sipping the broth in small sips.
Be good~ Elizabeth gently stroked the little girl's head with a loving look on her face. While drinking the soup, Zhao Sida looked around, glanced at the adults and children looking eagerly at the messy shanty town in the distance, and asked.
Village chief, is there a shortage of medicine in the village?
As soon as he said these words, the expression on the village chief's face became a little darker: Yes and no, the village is short of everything, but especially medicine.
Minor illnesses and pains are fine. Just bear with it and endure it. If you can get through it, you can get over it. But if the illness is serious, you can't just endure it.
You can get through it, and it's winter again. If you don't have enough warm clothes and you get sick, and you don't have medicine, the disease will only get worse.
Perhaps out of consideration for the little girl's mood, the village chief did not continue speaking, but the look in his eyes was enough for Zhao Sida to understand what he meant.
For their small village, it is normal for several people to freeze to death or die of illness every winter, because if they catch the cold and contract an infectious disease, they can rely on their immunity to survive and kill the germs before the immune system kills themselves. That is best, but if the symptoms of the disease are severe, or you simply suffer from non-communicable diseases, such as genetic diseases, frostbite and other diseases, then you have to rely on drugs to suppress the symptoms or provide auxiliary treatment.
But is there any medicine in this small village? Obviously not. There is not even a trained doctor here. And even if you are lucky enough to find medicines in old-world buildings, those medicines will have expired decades later, and there is a question mark as to whether they will be effective.
But the village chief knows where there may be medicine - in big cities, the big forces based in the wilderness may have many medicines and even channels for producing medicines in their hands.
So he looked at Zhao Sida expectantly, hoping to connect with the big city through her.
It is normal for the village chief to come to such a conclusion. After all, the doll girl is neatly dressed, has a fair face, and smooth hair. She is not as dirty as the villagers and smells bad. She must come from a place where she can take a bath even in winter. , and a place where clothes can be washed.
The sports coat she was wearing looked very 'expensive'. There were no patches at all, and it even used a lot of decorative zippers and laminated fabrics of other colors. The white fabric used to decorate the seams of the sports trousers on both sides was also used. There were no stains visible, and the little red shoes he was wearing were only stained with some dust and looked like new.
There may not be anything special about wearing such a suit in a peaceful environment, but if it appears in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's hard not to think of it.
Of course, Elizabeth, who is also neatly dressed, should be considered an exception.
However, Zhao Sida was destined to disappoint the village chief.
She shook her head: Sorry, I'm not from a big city, I'm afraid I can't help you.
I should be the one to apologize. I couldn’t hide the disappointment in the village chief’s eyes. I’m sorry, I was rude.
But what she said next made the village chief's eyes light up again: But I can help you keep an eye on the relevant medicines. If you find them, I will bring them back to exchange supplies with you.
Medicine. At this time, Elizabeth was sipping the soup, and comforted the village chief in a vague voice: "I will also help you pay attention."
Hope rekindled in the village chief's eyes, and he apologized to the two of them again and again.
So, what is the urgently needed medicine in the village?
antibiotic.
Walking under the bright sunshine, passing through the streets with vigilant and wary eyes, Zhao Sida and Elizabeth accompanied the little girl through the messy shanty area, and did not turn back until they sent her home.
Is it necessary to follow her? On the way back, Elizabeth sniffed. The various smells in the air were mixed together, making her smell a little uncomfortable.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. Zhao Sida's expression was dull. She glanced at the children who were looking at them eagerly. Although it is not appropriate to use it here, according to my calculations, if the two of us were not around, there was an 80% chance that the soup in her hand would be eaten. Other kids snatch it away.
Elizabeth curled her lips in disbelief: Why do you always think of people so darkly?
always?
The doll girl keenly captured the details in her words and suddenly stopped: Did you remember something?
Well, it can't be said that she remembered something, right? The blue-haired girl frowned and looked a little troubled, as if she was trying to remember something, but after a long time, she shook her head as if giving up, but she just felt that she should say this at this time. a feeling of? I always feel that I should have known you for a long time
That being said, I'm not sure
Because I stay with you, I always feel a long-lost familiarity when chatting with you, and I feel very happy.
When Elizabeth said this, she also had a puzzled look on her face.
Forget it, these things can always be figured out later. Zhao Sida did not pursue these issues any further, and walked straight ahead to tidy up, and then we should bid farewell to the village chief and set off. ..
Why! Aren't you going to stay here?
I never said I wanted to live here.
So where are you going?
Wherever you go, I go.
Hey? ! I'm going to find those 'guys like me' that the village chief said, do you want to follow me? !
Well, then go
After a while, Elizabeth and Zhao Sida, who had eaten and drank enough to listen to the story, left the remaining springtails behind and arrived at the entrance of the settlement accompanied by the village chief.
Little girl, you can actually stay with us for a while, but you may need to be isolated and observed for a longer period of time.
No, I'm going to go with Elizabeth. Zhao Sida shook her head and declined the village chief's kind invitation. If she was really just a wanderer, she might consider staying here, but she is not, and she has more important things to do now. I need to keep an eye on her. , to prevent her from messing around.
Then you have to be careful. When the village chief saw her like this, he knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to warn her. When winter comes, not only will the insects become violent, but the bandit groups wandering in the wilderness will also become more rampant in order to reserve supplies. , there is a gang of gangsters operating nearby recently, you should be careful.
Bandits? Old God Elizabeth responded, seeming a little disapproving: It's okay, they are easier to deal with than swarms of insects. We are just going for a walk, but you, the village chief, should be more careful.
Seeing her reaction, the village chief could only smile bitterly: She was the only one who could make the wilderness look as relaxing as an outing.
It's okay. Even though our village is relatively poor, the defenses are pretty good. No thieves without heavy firearms can't break in. The village chief smiled with wrinkles on his face. Those thieves with heavy firearms also look down on our village.
Elizabeth waved to him: Okay, okay, don’t give it away! Let's go~
After saying that, he and Zhao Sida turned and left together, and their figures gradually walked away.
The village chief looked at the two figures drifting away, sighed softly in a voice that could only be heard by himself, and blessed them in a low voice.
Have a safe journey and come back safely
