Strange World Survival Manual

Chapter 137 The back looks a bit like... a toad

In the early morning, dewdrops had already condensed on the grass tips. A carriage was parked on the official road, and people were busy in the carriage.

"Quick...quick...get water quickly." Yan Ling shouted anxiously to Wang Xiaorou.

Wang Xiaorou ran over quickly from behind, holding a bag in her hand.

When she came closer, Yan Ling snatched the bag from her hand, poured the water inside into the sweat towel, and then carefully applied it on the forehead of a thin child.

"This fever is too severe. We have to go to Jingning County as soon as possible." Wang Shiyan, who was wiping the child's body with a sweat towel, sighed.

Li Si also had a solemn look on his face. In this era, this kind of fever can really kill people, and even doctors may not be able to cure it.

Thinking of this, he looked at the gourd on his waist. There was a jade dew demon weapon in it. The tempering of this demon weapon might be useful for children. If the child's muscles and bones are tempered and his body is strong, he should be able to carry it through.

But it is a pity that fate is not on the side of the child. The body tempering ability of Yulu still needs two and a half days, and the child may not be able to survive that time.

Then Li Si showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had made some decision, and said to Wang Shiyan: "Let me hold her, and we will continue on our way."

He thought that he would ask Xiao Duan and Xiao Yu to cool down the little girl on the way, so that she might be able to survive longer. As for whether other people would notice the heresy, he no longer cared about it. Life was at stake now.

"Dad...Mom..."

At this time, the child was still murmuring, and he was obviously a little confused.

After hearing Li Si's words, several people showed hesitation on their faces. It seemed a little unsafe for Li Si to hold the child in this way. After all, Li Si did not show any medical skills along the way.

"Ahem..." At this moment, a hoarse cough suddenly came.

Several people were startled and quickly looked towards the place where they were coughing, only to see a short, fat old lady walking from the direction of Jingning County.

When the old lady saw them, she slowly walked towards them.

The old lady glanced at everyone with her cloudy eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Have you seen my husband?"

Several people were stunned when they heard her asking, but immediately shook their heads.

Seeing several people shaking their heads, the old lady shed tears in her eyes and looked at everyone blankly.

Finally, she sighed, wiped her tears, and walked slowly away, hunched over, in the direction where Li Si and others had come.

Li Si looked at the old lady's retreating back and frowned slightly. The old lady was a little weird. Since she was asking herself and others if they had seen her husband, why not tell her husband's appearance and characteristics.

Is this old lady going crazy?

"Miss, there is something about that old lady's back..." Suddenly at this moment, Wang Xiaorou looked at the old lady's back, a little dazed.

"What's there?" After hearing Wang Xiaorou's words, Wang Shiyan looked at her strangely.

Wang Xiaorou hesitated slightly, and then said: "Some...like a toad."

Hearing Wang Xiaorou's words, Wang Shiyan rolled her eyes, pinched Wang Xiaorou's ears with one hand, and snorted: "If you talk nonsense again, I will find you an in-law and marry you off."

"It hurts... it hurts... Miss, I don't dare anymore." Wang Xiaorou immediately begged for mercy after Wang Shiyan pinched her ears.

When Li Si heard Wang Xiaorou's words, he looked at the old lady's retreating back and was slightly startled, because the old lady was hunched over and fat, and she really looked like a toad standing up.

But now is not the time to think about this matter. The most important thing now is to send the child to the doctor.

Thinking of this, Li Si turned around and said, "Leave the child to me and get on your way immediately."

After the old lady interrupted, no one hesitated. Wang Shiyan handed the child to Li Si and said, "Come into the carriage with me."

Li Si nodded slightly and walked into the carriage with the child in his arms.

"Just sit outside." Wang Shiyan said to Wang Xiaorou and closed the door curtain.

Wang Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and sat outside the carriage.

"Drive..." Following Yan Ling's shout, the carriage continued to drive.

In the carriage, Li Si and Wang Shiyan did not speak.

At this time, the temperature in the carriage suddenly dropped sharply, which surprised Wang Shiyan.

But Li Si didn't care about her. He called out Xiao Duan and Xiao Yu and asked them to cool down the child.

"This is..." Wang Shiyan was stunned and looked at Li Si in surprise.

"This is my secret, it's not convenient to tell." Hearing Wang Shiyan's question, Li Si looked at Wang Shiyan with an apologetic look.

Hearing what Li Si said, Wang Shiyan's eyes flashed with sadness, and then a smile appeared on his face: "If it's not convenient to say it, just say it. Everyone has their own secrets, right?"

Seeing Wang Shiyan's appearance, Li Si felt a little embarrassed.

However, in the time that followed, the two got along well with each other and had a pleasant conversation, and they did not dwell on the matter anymore.

"Master..." Wang Xiaorou, who was in front of the carriage, touched Yan Ling's hand with her elbow, squinting her eyes and gesturing to the carriage.

Yan Ling was touched by Wang Xiaorou and turned around. When she saw Wang Xiaorou's sinister look, she felt helpless.

"Don't think blindly..." Yan Ling tapped Wang Xiaorou with her knuckles, then ignored the little girl and continued driving seriously.

Wang Xiaorou was hit by her master, and immediately screamed in pain, covering her head, looking aggrieved.

After they left, the old lady from before was walking discreetly on the official road, tears streaming from her eyes and whimpering coming from her mouth.

The more she cried, the more her face turned golden, and then pimples sprouted from her face, densely packed and looking extremely oozing.

At the end, she slowly lay down and turned into a huge golden toad.

Then the toad continued to jump down the official road, and from time to time, the cry of an old woman could be heard.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon soon.

At this time, Li Si and the others had arrived at the border of Jingning County.

Along the way, they also discovered that the closer they got to Jingning County, the drier the weather became. The carriage driving on the road brought up a cloud of smoke and dust. The vegetation on the road was shabby and covered with dust.

Apparently, it hasn't rained here in a long time.

"We have arrived in Jingning County." Wang Xiaorou shouted excitedly when she saw a stone tablet in the distance.
