Sweet Physician Wife - Chapter 256

256 Your Master Is Very Special

Gurgle…

Ji Nian’s stomach started growling. He quickly shouted and changed the topic, “I’m so hungry. Aren’t you guys hungry?”

Ning Dai smiled helplessly, “Master, please wait a moment. We have instant rice and hotpot in our room. I’ll go get them.”

She glanced at the unconscious people on the ground. “Although the poison in their bodies has been cured, they haven’t woken up yet. I’ll have to trouble Master and Senior Brother to take care of them.”

“I’ll go with you.” Mo Chen followed worriedly.

It was already past noon and the sun was gradually setting in the west. Everyone was a little hungry.

When they returned, the residents who had been attacked by the monsters woke up one after another. They looked around blankly and saw the white-bearded old man and the young man in front of them. They were momentarily unable to regain their senses.

Ning Dai and Mo Chen took out the dry food and distributed it to her master and senior brother. They also brought warm water and disposable paper cups over and poured water for them.

“You guys still can’t eat hotpot.” Ji Nian quickly ate the portable hotpot. He said, “Your bodies are still very weak. You can only drink water first and let the poison flow out through your sweat and urine. You can only eat after two hours.”

“What happened?” someone asked.

“Why is there a wound on my neck? What bit me?”

“There’s also a wound on my neck…”

“Could it be a poisonous snake?”

Ning Dai quickly interrupted, “It’s not a poisonous snake. It’s a kind of skunk-like animal in the desert. But don’t worry, we’ve put some medicine on you. You’re fine now. Go back to your rooms and rest for one night.”

The person who had turned into a ‘zombie’ was still unconscious and dirty. But fortunately, someone knew him and knew that he was a local, so they told his family to bring him back.

“Martial-Uncle Ji, greetings.”

Feng Tian finally had time to come to Ji Nian’s side and bowed respectfully.

“Well, you’re becoming more and more polite.” Ji Nian looked at him up and down.

Feng Tian scratched his head in embarrassment. “How long has it been since Martial-Uncle left the mountain? Have you seen my master?”

Ji Nian hurriedly waved his hand. “That kid Li Yi? I’ve never seen him!”

The anticipation in Feng Tian’s eyes was extinguished. He forced a smile and bowed to express his gratitude. “It’s alright. We’ll take our time to look for him. Thank you, Martial-Uncle.”

Seeing this, Ning Dai stepped forward and patted Feng Tian on the shoulder, comforting him. “Don’t worry. Martial-Uncle has his fortune. We’ll definitely be able to find him.”

That night, the few of them stayed in the hotel. Firstly, they were studying the hidden diseases in the bodies of the local residents. Secondly, they wanted to find out more about the desert climate, water sources, and landmarks of this place. This was to prevent them from getting dehydrated and getting lost after entering the desert.

After a busy day, everyone was tired and sleepy. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Ji Nian had a temperamental personality and was making a lot of noise in the hotel. Ning Dai was worried that he would disturb the rest of the people. Since she had arranged for his room to be at the end of the corridor, she and Mo Chen stayed in an adjacent room.

“Little Dai’er, are you asleep?” Ji Nian knocked on the wall and asked.

When she heard her master’s call from next door, Ning Dai couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Your master… is quite special.” Mo Chen couldn’t think of any words to describe it. “Why did you take him as your master?”
