Chapter 164: Seeking Medicine

In Paradise City.

Lin Jiang discovered that he had previously taken one bottle of medicine, but it had been ineffective. He took another bottle before returning to the city. He only had a total of two bottles. He had seen many people get sick before, and one bottle didn't work.

He drank the second bottle, thinking that he would feel better the next day when he went home, slept, and woke up.

Lin Jiang's mother noticed that her eldest son's face looked pale. "Xiao Jiang, are you feeling unwell? There's no color in your face."

Lin Jiang's two younger siblings also came over. "Brother, are you hungry? I'm hungry. He looks bad too."

He nodded along with this reason, "I'm quite hungry, Mom. I want to eat soup noodles."

For nearly half a year, they have been eating rice, and if they eat too much, they will also crave pasta.

Lin Jiang's mother silently nodded at her son and said, "Okay, you all must be tired today. The child's father we will eat something outside."

Lin Jiang's father had no objection to this and nodded, saying, "Well, this winter food will only last for a month. Refresh it once. It's hard for the children to go outside in such cold weather."

There is a lot of grain outside, and there are also many people collecting it. Now there is not a single grain in the field. If they want to collect it again, they have to wait a month.

The family was sitting in the seats behind the stall. The children had not experienced eating outside like this in a long time.

The stall owner quickly brought out several bowls of hot shredded chicken noodles, and some of the children also added fat and tender chicken legs to their bowls.

Lin Jiang's younger brother exclaimed, "Wow, chicken legs!"

He picked it up and brought it to his mother's mouth. "Mom, eat some too."

Their family also kept meat, but they never dared to eat it.

The entire family enjoyed chicken legs, and Lin Jiang simply wished to get better soon.

The next morning, since there was no need to go out and gather food, several children in the family stayed in bed.

Lin Jiang wanted to wake up but couldn't. He felt his eyelids were heavy and wanted to call his mother, but discovered that he couldn't make a sound and fell asleep again.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Jiang's mother noticed that her eldest son had not yet woken up, so she went to check on him.

They have a large family of five, so they rented two houses. She took the two young children, while the father took care of Lin Jiang.

After opening the door, she discovered that her eldest son appeared to be sound asleep. She whispered softly, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, wake up and eat." But there was no response. She walked to the bed, opened the quilt, and discovered that her son's face was red. When she touched him, she realized that the child was running a fever. "Xiao Jiang! Xiao Jiang!"

Lin Jiang did not respond, and his typhoid fever worsened.

Lin Jiang's mother quickly called the child's father, only to discover that the child had fainted. She cried bitterly, as if she had been transported back to the time when her son was in poor health before the end of the world.

Lin Jiang's mother began to blame herself, saying, "It's all my fault for allowing him to leave the city together. This child was not in good health before, and now he is sick again."

Lin Jiang's father quickly wrapped his son in a quilt and carried him outside. "Let's go to the pharmacy together to get better medicine."

Lin Jiang's mother hurriedly followed, instructing her two children to stay at home before leaving.

The residents of Paradise City saw the couple hurrying to the pharmacy, clutching their child tightly in their arms, as the child's mother continued to wipe away tears.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jiang's father urgently called for the store manager, saying, "Store manager, store manager, my son is very ill. Is there any cure here?"

Although the intermediate-level NPC is not as human as the advanced one, he is still highly intelligent. He walked out of the counter, glanced at Lin Jiang, and informed Lin Jiang's parents, "His typhoid fever has worsened, and it has developed into pneumonia. I'm sorry, but I haven't developed any medicine to treat pneumonia yet."

Lin Jiang's mother collapsed on the ground without any medication. Her son, isn't it hopeless?

Lin Jiang's father hugged his son. He didn't want to give up. "How long can my son hold on? We can go to other city-states to seek medical treatment. By the way, Xuantian City, go to Xuantian City!"

The NPC's expression did not change and appeared to be devoid of emotion. "The condition probably worsened last night. It is recommended to administer medicine to him within two hours."

Lin Jiang's mother cried, "Xuantian City is not close to here. Is it too late for us to buy bicycles and rush there now?"

They have never been there. Other city-states have no idea how long it takes to get to Xuantian City.

Someone saw the couple rushing to the pharmacy with their child in their arms. They all came over to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, the child's condition worsened, and they had to buy medicine immediately.

An enthusiastic resident said, "I asked people over there on the local channel to see if there is any medicine available for treating pneumonia."

Some residents of Xuantian City would simply check the dialogue channel when they had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, they saw many people claiming to be from Bliss. The city residents asked if there was any medicine available to treat pneumonia. They said that the child's condition had worsened and he needed to take the medication within two hours, otherwise, he would not survive.

It's a matter of human life. Someone immediately replied that there is such a medicine, but it is relatively rare.

When Lin Jiang's father saw this type of medicine, he immediately picked up the child and started to leave. The child's mother had already gone to buy a bicycle.

Ke Qun, who happened to be staying in the city, noticed a commotion at the drugstore and approached to investigate.

"The city lord is here!" Someone shouted.

The fact that Ke Qun is the lord of Paradise City has always been public.

"What's going on?" Ke Qun asked.

A resident came forward and explained, "There is a sick child in the city. His condition will worsen, and he needs to take medicine within two hours to save him. Now the child's parents are buying bicycles to go to Xuantian City."

Hearing that the child was so ill, Ke Qun quickly went to find Lin Jiang's parents.

Lin Jiang's mother bought a bicycle and came out when she saw the city lord coming. She seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw, "City lord, do you have a faster car? My son is very ill. I have to hurry up and go to Xuantian City to buy medicine.."

Ke Qun frowned and said, "Don't worry, I know people in Xuantian City. I'll ask them if they have any."

If there is a potion available, he can buy it directly without the need to travel back and forth.

After asking a few people, I discovered that none of them had purchased the potion. Everyone consciously lets those with children buy it first. Moreover, these people were still clearing the fields in the wild and were not in the city.

In this way, they couldn't find anyone who had the medicine to buy, let alone trade with Ke Qun through email.

Realizing that the situation was not good, he swiftly took the child from Lin Jiang's father's hands and said, "I will take him there more quickly."

In this way, Ke Qun used his mount to rise into the air and urge the mount to fly, much faster than a bicycle.

Lin Jiang's parents quickly rode their bicycles out of the city. They also had to rush to Xuantian City.

Parents with children were also frightened to see their children become seriously ill. It seemed that they would have to purchase better medicine as a backup if there was a possibility.

Lu Jiu had just seen the message on the city's dialogue channel, and now Ke Qun had also sent one.

[Ke Qun] (City Channel): I am currently rushing to Xuantian City. If you have medicine to treat pneumonia, can you sell it? The price is not an issue.

Lu Jiu immediately initiated a private chat with him privately: [I have potions and will send the elixirs in the mail immediately. 】

She is the city lord of Xuantian City, so naturally, she has this kind of elixir in stock.

Ke Qun received the email and found that it was sent by a person named Lu Jiu, the same person who had just privately chatted with him.

After obtaining the elixir, he immediately fed it to Lin Jiang. The elixir melted in his mouth. Ke Qun had no way of seeing the other person's personal information, so he could only continue rushing to Xuantian City with the child in his arms.

After all, we have to go there.
