Chapter 78: Chapter 77: To Go or to Stay Chapter 78: Chapter 77: To Go or to Stay “The herbs are easy to deal with, but the arsenic needed as a catalyst is hard to find since it’s a mineral.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more bewildered; all around them was nothing but jungle and plains—where could they find a mine?
“Moreover, both bupleurum and arsenic need to be processed. By the ti the dicine is prepared, I estimate…”
Doctor Wang glanced at the people lying around in disarray and didn’t continue.
However, everyone understood what Doctor Wang ant—they feared that by the ti the dicine was ready, the sick would no longer be waiting for it.
“What can we do now!”
“Doctor Wang, please co with .”
Xiao Chan, who had hurried off just a mont ago, hurried back once more.
Doctor Wang got up and followed the young man without a second word.
The two of them walked while murmuring to each other.
This ti, Bai Junjun got a clear look at the newcor and felt that this youth seed sowhat familiar.
It took her a while to recall that this youth seed to be with the child who had exchanged water with her in the morning.
Before she could ask, soone beside her already did.
“Who is he?”
“Hmph, you have been following the group for so long and you don’t know? He is Xiao Chan from the Seven-Person Team.”
“Ah! He is from the Seven-Person Team?”
In a large group of a thousand people, naturally, so walked fast and others slow.
Those at the forefront, who had been following the Seven-Person Team for a long ti, naturally recognized the mbers of the Team, but it wasn’t strange that many who joined later and walked behind had not seen what the Seven-Person Team looked like.
Therefore, many were extrely curious about the mbers of the legendary Seven-Person Team.
But seeing that this youth was only around eighteen or nineteen years old, the crowd hadn’t expected such a famous figure to be just a youngster.
“The Seven-Person Team is all made up of youngsters like him,” soone added.
“Indeed, heroes erge from the young,” the refugees murmured, their eyes full of unconcealable admiration.
Bai Junjun herself had not expected this person to be a mber of the Seven-Person Team, which ant the child who had exchanged water with her was also one of them, right?
No wonder he had a fine dagger tucked at his waist.
It was said that so hermits of ancient tis practiced martial arts, things like flying, hiding, qigong, and inner strength; she wondered if the Seven-Person Team possessed such skills as well.
If they did, Bai Junjun silently considered the possibility of exchanging Water of Flora for martial arts knowledge.
Before she could ponder further, Old Uncle Qiu gently tugged at her sleeve, indicating it was ti for them to return.
Bai Junjun snapped back to reality and obediently followed Old Uncle Qiu away.
Seeing Father and Bai Junjun return, everyone looked around eagerly.
“Father, what happened up front?”
The column had been moving forward in an orderly fashion when suddenly there was chaos in the middle.
Ever since Bai Junjun had woken up, she had insisted on walking, so the Qiu family’s place in the column had slipped from the middle to the back. Therefore, when they saw the disturbance at the front, Uncle Qiu told them to wait where they were while he went to investigate.
Bai Junjun also naturally followed him.
People had grown accustod to the senior and the junior taking the lead, so they consciously maintained stability at the rear.
As soon as the two returned, everyone imdiately asked about the situation up front.
Old Uncle Qiu looked utterly distressed, “There’s been an outbreak of malaria in the group.”
“Malaria?” Qiu Da’s face turned pale.
“This is not good at all. What should we do?”
“I’m also considering whether we should leave the main group,” Old Uncle Qiu honestly answered.
After all, malaria was no trifle matter, and leaving the group would be the best course of action before the disease could spread.
“But we had just started to feel a bit more settled,” the people said with troubled expressions.
The psychological scars left by those two groups of bandits on the first day of the refugee escape were so profound that they felt a lot more at ease only after relying on the larger group.
However, they had encountered malaria after just a few days.
