Chapter 111: Chapter 97: Land of Hope, Xia Yanni’s Request_2

“Mm…” Liu Muxue responded softly.

Just as the two were about to embrace each other and sleep, there came a series of knocks at the door of the Lord’s Hut.

“Knock! Knock knock!”

The knocking was somewhat urgent. Cao Xing asked in confusion, “Who is it?”

It was the middle of the night, the coldest time of the day.

And the only ones who could be knocking at this hour were his subjects.

A gentle voice came from outside, “My…lord…it’s Yanni…”

“I’m very sorry to disturb you at such a late hour…”

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue exchanged a glance, then asked, “It’s alright, is something the matter?”

Xia Yanni hurriedly said, “My lord…it’s Chuchu…Chuchu seems to have a high fever, and she fainted half an hour ago.”

“I’ve tried many methods, but Chuchu’s fever won’t go down.”

“I… I really have no other choice… I can only come to ask for your help…”

By the end of her speech, Xia Yanni’s tone had turned to tears.

It was evident that she was truly anxious.

Cao Xing, upon hearing this, furrowed his brow slightly.

Indeed, a high fever in the snow was a tricky thing to deal with.

But fortunately, he had a medical pack at hand, more than one, actually.

So Cao Xing said, “I understand, I’ll be right out.”

Upon hearing his response, Xia Yanni, outside the door, seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Cao Xing climbed out of bed and quickly dressed.

Liu Muxue, still nestled in bed, asked worriedly, “Axing, should I come with you?”

Cao Xing shook his head and said, “No need, you have a good rest. It’s just a fever, nothing too serious.”

Liu Muxue obediently nodded.

Then, Cao Xing went downstairs and opened the door of the Lord’s Hut.

Whoosh—

In an instant, the cold night wind swept through, making him instinctively shrink his neck.

Xia Yanni’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and her whole body trembled unnaturally, appearing very fragile.

She was indeed anxious. In this world, Tong Chuchu was everything in her life.

If anything happened to Tong Chuchu, Xia Yanni likely wouldn’t have the courage to continue living.

Cao Xing said, “Let’s go, lead the way.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Xia Yanni quickly nodded and turned to head toward the Sewing Shop.

Cao Xing followed her.

Upon opening the Sewing Shop, he found that it had already been transformed into two rooms, a workshop and a rest room.

It seemed this woman had taken Cao Xing’s previous commission to heart, preparing for the long haul in the Sewing Shop.

Only she didn’t expect the sudden high fever of Tong Chuchu.

“Where’s Chuchu?” Cao Xing asked as he came in.

Xia Yanni pushed open the door of the rest room, and at this moment, Tong Chuchu was lying on a small wood bed, covered with a thick quilt, her body trembling continuously.

With pale lips, she kept calling out for her mother.

This scene immediately brought tears to Xia Yanni’s eyes.

She knelt by Cao Xing’s side, pleading with a cuckoo-like cry, “My lord…please save Chuchu…”

Cao Xing glanced at the girl’s attribute panel.

[Subject: Tong Chuchu lv1]

[Life Value: 63/100]

[Status: Fainting, Weakness, High Fever]

…

Cao Xing gently grasped Xia Yanni’s soft arm and helped her up.

“Stand up, don’t worry too much, I’ll save her.”

Upon Cao Xing’s promise, Xia Yanni’s tears gradually stopped.

In her gaze, Cao Xing immediately took out a medical bag.

[Medical Bag (White): Can be used for treating injuries or common ailments, restores 100 Life Value.]

(Note: A simple medical bag, which can alleviate common weather-induced symptoms such as colds, fevers, frostbite, etc.)

(Note 2: During the novice protection period, it can be used directly. After the protection period ends, treatment will require someone with Medical Skill.)

Cao Xing felt a sense of relief, “Luckily, fever falls within the treatment range of the medical bag.”

“Still, after the novice protection period ends, it won’t be so convenient to treat these ailments. We must find ways to recruit some talent in the medical field.”

The System Prompt appeared.

[Do you want to use the medical bag on Subject: Tong Chuchu?]

“Yes.”

In the next moment, the medical bag in Cao Xing’s hand disappeared.

And at that moment, Tong Chuchu seemed to sense a peculiar energy.

Her body gradually calmed down.

Her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and her pale lips began to show a hint of color.

This sight made Xia Yanni, who was beside her, feel a kind of hope, her body trembling with excitement.

Cao Xing glanced at Tong Chuchu’s status.

[Status: Fainting, Weakness, High Fever (Recovering)]

Cao Xing nodded and then instructed, “Chuchu is recovering, but the symptoms of the high fever won’t subside immediately. She still needs to rest for a while; she should be fine by tomorrow.”

“Thank you…thank you so much…”

Xia Yanni’s mature face was filled with intense gratitude.

Cao Xing smiled, “No need to be so polite, as long as Chuchu is alright.”

Having said that, he took three more medical packs from his backpack and placed them at the bedside.

Then he took out two skill books.

“Use these three medical packs if Chuchu shows any symptoms, be sure to use them promptly.”

“And these two skill books, you both study them together, and I’ll help raise your levels as well.”

Looking at the skill books, Xia Yanni’s eyes once again filled with deep gratitude.

She knew this was Cao Xing looking after them, the warmth of which swept across her heart, tears welling up again.

“Thank you…my lord…”
