"what happened?"
When he heard the news, Ma Tao felt confused for a moment, and he was completely confused.
"I...I don't know. He can't wake up no matter how hard he calls. What should I do?"
As soon as An Ruo finished speaking, Ma Tao had already turned around and walked straight to Car No. 2 and walked quickly over. Sickle and Hu Sha beside him also heard the girl crying in Ma Tao's watch and followed him.
"Xiao Ruo, don't worry, we'll be there soon."
At the same time, after hearing the news, Gao Han in car No. 3 and Sister R in car No. 1 also hurriedly got out of the car.
"What are you all doing here? Just stay in the car, I'm here."
Ma Tao immediately stopped their behavior and said sternly.
"But……"
Gao Han wanted to say something, but he quickly understood what Ma Tao was worried about and didn't say much.
Yes, Ma Tao is worried about Sickle and that Hu Sha. As the saying goes, I will kill you while you are sick. The people here are not familiar with the place. Gao Han and his sister even got off the chariot because of Xiao Jinzi. Faced with the battle without anyone. If they suddenly rebel against the temptation of the chariot, things will become very passive. Although Ma Tao is sure to take the chariot back into their hands, he can't get back the time he missed, which will stifle what may happen. The best way to solve problems is to start them in the bud.
An Ruo spoke with her watch at this time, obviously because she discovered it suddenly and was so flustered that she didn't pay attention to the occasion. Ma Tao didn't blame her, but Ma Tao couldn't relax himself.
He pulled open the passenger door of Jeep No. 2, and what he saw in front of him shocked Ma Tao. Xiao Jinzi, who lay flat on the seat, had a pale face and big beads of sweat on his forehead. The screams came out, his eyes were closed tightly, and his whole body was trembling. The expression on his face was extremely painful. When he reached out and touched the kid's forehead, it was extremely hot.
"What's going on? How could this happen!"
This scene also frightened Ma Tao.
"I...I don't know. I was driving, and suddenly I noticed that he was not moving. Then I felt something was wrong. When I looked carefully, I saw that he..."
At this point, An Ruo's face was filled with tears. She blamed herself and felt regret for not discovering Xiao Jinzi's abnormal reaction in advance. Even her voice changed.
"It's okay. I don't blame you. Don't worry."
At this point, Ma Tao was at a loss. From the look of Xiao Jinzi, it was obvious that he was sick. However, Ma Tao was not a doctor and could not treat illnesses. He could only comfort the crying An Ruo first, and his eyes turned randomly to find a solution. .
"Ma Tao, what's going on with Xiao Jinzi?"
In the watch, Gao Han also asked with concern.
"Sister Han, Jin Zi is sick... He is so hot all over... It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I didn't accompany him yesterday..."
An Ruo was sitting in the driver's seat at a loss when she heard Gao Han's movements and seemed to have found someone to talk to. In an instant, her suppressed heart was released and she burst into tears.
"Sister Han, can the recovery equipment in your car cure diseases?"
Gao Han's words made Ma Tao's mind move.
"No, the recovery equipment in the car only promotes human cell regeneration and has no effect on the sick person. The reason is that his body is not damaged, and it is the virus that tortures him."
Gao Han's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing any hope in Ma Tao's heart.
This is how to do?
In this world, where can we find medicine for Xiao Jinzi?
Ma Tao knew clearly that the entire world had been destroyed by Noah. The possibility of finding medicines was very small. Only some towns could produce some. The only way for most people to fight against diseases was to rely on their own immunity. If you can't fight hard, you can only wait to die.
"Is there nothing we can do?"
An Ruo, who was already crying, became even more flustered after hearing this, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
Ma Tao looked at her and wanted to use the fax machine to go back to Seoul if it didn't work. There, Xiao Jinzi's parents would definitely have medicine, but...
"He has a cold and needs to take a bath and drink medicine quickly."
When Ma Tao was at a loss what to do, Hu Sha, who had followed him, stretched his neck to take a look at Xiao Jinzi lying in the car, and said to Ma Tao with gestures with his hands.
"What did you say? Do you have medicine?"
Ma Tao asked with surprise as he looked at the man next to him who looked like a jungle native.
"I don't have any here. I have to go back to the village. There is medicine there."
Leader Husha nodded affirmatively.
"That's great, thank you Husha, you saved my brother's life"
Ma Tao couldn't believe his ears, and quickly opened his arms to give the tribal leader, who was dressed in greasepaint, a firm hug.
"Thanks"
Upon hearing that Xiao Jinzi was saved, An Ruo said with gratitude.
"It doesn't matter. Ma Tao is our best friend. Your friends are also our friends. Come with me."
A strong friendship requires a certain financial foundation. After all, it is the ability to make money that has a rapid effect. That gold ring that Ma Tao didn't care about could actually save Xiao Jinzi's life. This is really something that no one expected.
Hu Sha smiled, patted Ma Tao on the shoulder, then waved to the barbarians of his tribe, leading a group of people to start moving towards his home.
Sickle, who was following the crowd, kept staring at the animal skin bag slung around Hu Sha's waist. Inside was the gold ring that Ma Tao had just given him. With his eyes flickering, no one knew where this cunning bounty hunter was. What was he thinking, and no one noticed his strange behavior.
Hu Sha and his tribe of barbarians led the way. In order to facilitate communication, Ma Tao and Sickle walked together with Hu Sha and the others. The three chariots were not small in size and could only crush the dead trees in the jungle at the back. After passing through the thorns, although everyone was a little anxious, there was no other way.
Hu Sha's small village is not far from this water source. It only took half an hour to walk. On the way, Hu Sha and Ma Tao explained what cold syndrome is. People who suffer from this disease will have abnormal symptoms. The cold is internally deficient, so people will break out in cold sweats, even become comatose, and have a persistent high fever. At the same time, Ma Tao and others are relieved, because the cold syndrome is not life-threatening at first, it is just painful. People who suffer from the disease will be life-threatening until the moment they are exhausted.
What Ma Tao didn't expect was that this symptom was actually an infectious disease they said, but it was not very contagious, and there were medicines available to treat it. People here were not afraid of it and were not unfamiliar with it.
Soon, everyone arrived at Husha's village tribe hidden in the jungle.
It is said to be a village, but it looks like a garbage dump. It is different from the village that everyone in Ma Tao imagined. There are no houses at all. The people here live in thatched sheds made of thatch and sticks. It is damp. It was dilapidated, even filthy, and simply miserable.
"Here we are, welcome to my territory"
Hu Sha became the king of this place as soon as he stepped into this place. Everyone who came within two meters of him actually saluted him. With his head held high, Hu Sha inspected everything around him and proudly introduced Ma Tao to everyone, and then Shouting loudly "Come on, prepare some food to entertain my distinguished guests!!!"
"That... leader of Husha, my brother..."
Hearing that he wanted to eat, Ma Tao was not in the mood at this time. All he could think of was Xiao Jinzi's trembling body and sweating profusely. He immediately reminded him softly with anxiety in his heart.
"Oh~ right, right, right"
Hu Sha was immediately enlightened when he heard this. He quickly pulled over a dark-skinned woman and said, "Go quickly and cook some detoxifying herbs. My guest has a cold, so hurry up."
The dark-skinned woman looked very frightened when she was grabbed. She lowered her head and nodded several times after listening to Hu Sha's words. He bowed and quickly went to prepare that antidote.
"My friend, don't worry, the medicine will be delivered to your brother soon. He will be fine soon."
Leader Husha patted his chest, and after making his pledge, he led everyone to a wooden frame. Then he took a few of his men and turned around and entered another place that resembled a thatched house. Here, only A few guards.
"This is……"
Ma Tao glanced at the few barbarians around him who were painted like monkeys and then looked at the sickle.
"According to custom, they will treat us to dinner, but there is nothing good, so we must be mentally prepared."
Sickle did not shy away from the guards and spoke bluntly.
Ma Tao frowned, and then glanced at him thoughtfully. Seeing Sickle looking at the place where Hu Sha went out and keeping silent, he didn't say anything either.
Sure enough, only about three to five minutes later, Hu Sha came back wearing colorful feathers.
I don’t know what the aesthetic standards here are. With Hu Sha’s fluttering feathers flying up and down, Ma Tao felt like he was dangling in front of his eyes like a ostentatious pheasant. He had to endure it. He laughed on the spot. After all, it was really impolite to laugh in such a grand ceremony.
"My friend, why haven't you asked someone to bring that little boy over yet?"
After leader Hu Sha came back, he saw that there were still the same people here as before, and he felt strange and asked.
"Um...it's a little damp here. Just drink some medicine in the car later."
Ma Tao wanted to find a reason. It would be really bad if he said he was worried, but he didn't expect that Hu Sha's next words would put all his concerns on the stage.
"That's not possible. If you want to get better quickly, you not only need to drink medicine, but also soak in it. Only in this way can the disease in his body be eliminated as quickly as possible."
Leader Hu Sha waved his hand and directly told Ma Tao what he was going to do next.
So that's it.
Ma Tao was stunned, hesitated for less than two seconds and then said, "Okay, I'll tell them now."
Ma Tao knows that this method of internal administration and external application is a relatively particular treatment theory and practice in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is well-founded and well-founded.
As he spoke, Ma Tao stood up.
"Do you need help? I can arrange two guards to help you."
Leader Husha said with a smile.
“Thank you very much, that would be great”
Ma Tao quickly thanked Leader Hu Sha. To be honest, he would not be at ease if Gao Han and An Ruo were asked to get some small gold.
After coming out, my sister, An Ruo and Gao Han had already carried Xiao Jinzi out of the car. Apparently they all heard Hu Sha's words from their watches and carried him out first.
"Why are you all out?"
When he saw the three of them outside, Ma Tao was startled. He quickly took two steps closer to them and lowered his head and asked.
"Don't worry, the car is locked and we all have weapons with us."
Before Ma Tao could approach a few people, Gao Han had already explained in a low voice. Ma Tao raised his head and took a closer look. Sure enough, Gao Han was carrying her flame gun, An Ruo was carrying a rifle, and her sister's shoulders were They were staring at the rusty robot cat with two electronic eyes. It seemed that they had already made a decision.
"Leave it to us"
At this time, the two guards led by Ma Tao finally reached out and took over Xiao Jinzi, who was being supported by the three women.
