NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: Floating Blood Bar
"It's strange, why didn't those cowards practice running away today?"
"Who knows, maybe they are too scared to run away.
If it were us serving in the army, we would have no fear and no worries."
"That's right, I've wanted to break into the enemy camp and kill them, but I'm unlucky and didn't get the chance."
Five lazy men who depend on their wives lie under the elm tree at the head of the village, eating dates and bragging.
At first, I thought they were real warriors who were not appreciated.
As the idle men were talking, they suddenly found three men coming from the south. At first, they didn't take it seriously, but when they looked closely, they were scared to death.
"Brothers, it's time for lunch. I have to go home."
"Well, I have a stomachache. I'll go to the bathroom first."
"What a coincidence. I forgot to feed my dog. Let's meet again later."
······
Seeing Zhou Yuan holding a wooden stick and a hatchet on his waist, the brave men ran away after saying a few polite words.
"Hurry up, you two. If you are slow, you can't hit them with a stick."
Under the "friendly" condolences of Zhou Yuan and the two villagers, the five idle men who were rampant in the village were sent back to their respective homes with sticks.
In a conflict of three to five, the opponent was defeated without any damage. The two villagers who followed Zhou Yuan were extremely excited.
"Shitou, you are still straightforward. To deal with such a bad guy, you should just take action directly."
The village man, who was proud of it, puffed up his chest with arrogance, and no longer felt the previous frustration.
"Let's go and take a look at Ergou's house. That guy came to visit me the day after his wedding. I can't forget him."
When Zhou Yuan entered Ergou's yard openly, he knew that Ergou was in trouble this time.
Ergou was still able to move last night, but he had a high fever at noon today.
Zhou Yuan glanced inside through the window and found that Ergou's health bar had dropped to 77%.
Ergou's father and mother sighed and wiped their tears quietly in the yard, while Cui Niang washed cloth towels from time to time in the house to cool Ergou physically.
To be honest, Zhou Yuan was not surprised to see this scene.
He personally experienced the coldness in the [General Qingsha's Lair] dungeon, and diving would inevitably wet his body and hair.
It is normal for normal people to catch a cold and have a fever when exposed to this level of temperature difference, not to mention that Ergou has entered and exited the dungeon many times.
Ergou is not Zhou Yuan with recovery skills, and this is not Blue Star with advanced medical care.
A severe cold is not a big problem in Blue Star, but it is hard to say here.
"Uncle Zhao, has old man Luo from Qiaodong Village come here?"
"He has. Old man Luo said that Ergou has evil wind entering his body and has caught a cold. He went back to get medicine.
I don't know if old man Luo's prescription is useful. If he doesn't get better in two days, we will take Ergou to the county for medical treatment."
"Okay, if we go to the county, you can tell us and we will help send Ergou there."
"It's said that Shitou is reliable. I have weak legs and feet, and I don't have a brother to help me at home. Fortunately, our Shitou is reliable."
Although Ergou's family has some calculations on Zhou Yuan, their purpose is to win over relationships and form a benefit group for the next generation.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan has no ill feelings towards this family.
While comforting Ergou's parents and observing Ergou's condition, he soon found that Ergou's health bar dropped by 1% to 76%.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The sound of coughing came from the house from time to time. The weak Ergou used his own state to prove the consequences of a normal person's reduced health bar.
In most games, let alone a character's health bar dropping to more than 70%, even if it drops to less than 30%, it is still lively and vigorous, and it is not uncommon to kill with a little blood.
But in this real world, the consequences of a rapid reduction in the health bar are too serious. At the least, it will lose combat effectiveness, and at the worst, it will continue to deteriorate and lose life.
This means that the health bar of a normal person is a floating data. It does not need to be completely emptied. If about 40% is eliminated, their combat state will be difficult to maintain.
For example, Ergou's health bar seems to still have 76%, which is not a big problem on the surface.
But in fact, it will only take more than ten days. After ten days or half a month, either the condition will be controlled and gradually improved, or the whole village will set up a table for everyone to eat.
"My father, Old Man Luo only has a few prescriptions, and he prescribes the same medicine for all diseases. I'm afraid he can't cure Ergou's fever.
Why don't we send him to the county to see a doctor while Shitou is here?"
"Let's see, we don't have that much cash at home. If Ergou's fever doesn't subside tomorrow, we'll sell the land and go to the county."
Ergou's family is rich now, but the pearls produced in the dungeon cannot be seen in the light. If they really take them out in a hurry, they may be killed by the strong men in the county.
Therefore, Ergou's father placed his hopes on Old Man Luo in Qiaodong Village, hoping that Ergou and his family could survive this disaster.
"Alas, I'm still greedy..."
Ergou's father sighed softly, his lips trembling and muttering silently, as if praying for his son's safety.
"Squeak."
The wooden door of the yard was pushed open roughly, and an old man with few patches on his clothes rushed in with a simple and honest young man.
"Let's boil the water, and cook the medicine quickly.
My father and I will stay at your house tonight. If it doesn't work, I'll take you to the city to find your old boss tomorrow morning."
A group of people worked hard and finally got Ergou to take the medicine. It all depends on Ergou's luck.
Zhou Yuan saw that things were going to go wrong, so he planned to leave Ergou's house.
But Ergou's parents were worried that they would be rejected if they asked him for help again, so they insisted on giving him two chicken eggs.
In order to reassure them, Zhou Yuan had to accept the deposit with favors, saying that he was willing to send Ergou to the city.
Although he only got two chicken eggs, the two villagers who accompanied him were not angry.
They shared one and left the remaining one to Zhou Yuan.
For them, sending fellow villagers to treat illnesses was a reasonable thing. Ergou's family was so poor, and no one could blame them.
Zhou Yuan was not polite when he got the chicken eggs. He peeled the shells and came to Old Man Luo, asking about the topic of blood and qi tonic.
"Uncle Luo, do you have a prescription for blood and qi tonic? Give me two sets."
Old Man Luo, who was responsible for accompanying the doctor and contacting the county Chinese medicine clinic, was naturally treated well. He and his son also had chicken eggs.
When he heard Zhou Yuan's words, his hand peeling the shells suddenly stopped, and he looked at Zhou Yuan carefully again.
"Shitou, you look ruddy and energetic, you don't look like you have lost your blood and qi.
Do you have any hidden illness? Don't be embarrassed to tell me. You are still young. Treat it as soon as possible. If you delay and it becomes a chronic disease, your life will be miserable."
"Uncle Luo, seriously, I am going to serve in the military.
I have been exercising hard these days, which makes my waist and back ache and my body feel uncomfortable."
"That's right, I have a prescription for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and nourishing blood and qi.
However, tonics are expensive and you can't afford them, and I don't have any, so I can only prescribe you some cheap and common herbal medicines."
"Okay, I'll try the effect. If it works, I'll order a few more."
