Chapter 287: Edwin I s Illness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Edwin looked quite healthy now, he still couldn’t get rid of the maintenance of medicine, and he often suffered from illness. Caroline felt pain in her eyes.
The Anderson family had the best healer, but that was the only thing they could do at the moment. That was why Caroline wanted to try looking for this divine doctor.
Maybe Western medicine couldn’t cure it, but Chinese medicine could? After all, she had personally experienced Wu Lu’s miraculous medical skills.
Speaking of which, Caroline knew this divine doctor because she had once carried out a secret mission in the Golden Triangle.
When she was retreating, she and her teammates accidentally fell into the enemy’s trap. Facing the enemy’s pursuit, they had no choice but to escape into the mountains. In the end, she was accidentally separated from her teammates.
She covered her wound and was about to find the right direction to go out when the smell of blood from her wound attracted the wolves in the mountains.
Under the circumstances of being injured at that time, coupled with the danger in the dense forest, even if she was as brave as she was, she could not escape from the siege of the wolf pack alone.
After a few fights, although she killed a few wolves, Caroline was also seriously injured.
At this moment, the death of their wolf companions caused the wolf pack to become even more ferocious. Just as Caroline was exhausted and thought that she was going to die under the wolf’s mouth…
A strange and mysterious whistle suddenly came from the dense forest, followed by a pungent smell. The pack of wolves that wanted to surround her suddenly retreated as if they had seen something terrifying. They dived into the dense forest and disappeared.
Seeing that the wolves were retreating quickly and there were sounds coming from the forest, Caroline thought that a beast more ferocious than the wolves had come, so the wolves were scared away.
She leaned against the tree and held a dagger that was an inch long and covered in blood foam in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on the grass that was constantly moving.
In the end, she waited and waited, but no beast came. Instead, she waited for a short, hunchbacked old woman to come out.
The other party was holding a tree branch that she had casually picked up and carrying a bamboo basket on her back. She could vaguely see some branches and weeds inside.
The old woman looked at Caroline with a wrinkled face and said a few words in Chinese with an accent.
Caroline’s education from a young age included learning many languages. Therefore, although she was not proficient in Chinese, she could still communicate in daily conversations.
She heard what the old woman said. She roughly said, “The little girl is seriously injured. Where did you come from?”
As a soldier, Caroline often accepted secret missions, so she was used to hiding her true identity. She casually made up a story. “My name is Ania. I came to Q Country for a vacation from S Country.”
QCountry was also a neighboring country of China.
She covered her wound and stood up while making up a story.
“I used to hear that this area was quite chaotic, but I thought it was just exaggerated in the news. I didn’t expect that when I was out playing, I believed a child’s cry for help and was kidnapped into the mountains. It wasn’t easy for me to escape into the mountains.”
Caroline’s words were actually quite flawed. For example, how could an ordinary female tourist like her kill so many wolves by herself?
She did not know if the old woman believed her words, but she was slightly surprised. “Then you’re quite powerful. You were able to escape from that place. No wonder you could kill so many wolves.”
The old woman squatted down and touched the wolf’s hand. Finally, she took out a muddy knife from her basket and stabbed it into the wolf’s neck. Then, she pulled it down, and the wolf’s stomach was cut open, revealing its internal organs.
This dexterity was accompanied by a hint of blood, which was a great visual impact. Caroline looked away and secretly took two steps back.
“Are you from the nearby mountains?” she asked tentatively. “Do you want to take the wolf meat home to eat?”
She knew that some poor mountain people would hunt in the mountains to make a living. She thought that the old woman was the same.
Unexpectedly, the old woman said in disdain, “This wolf meat is dry, hard, and sour. What’s so delicious about it? I’m a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. There’s something inside the wolf’s internal organs that can be used as a drug primer. I happened to bump into it, so I took it off.”
Caroline didn’t know much about traditional Chinese medicine, so when she saw the old woman in blue clothes say that it was a medicinal herb, she was confused and didn’t quite believe her.. “You can cure diseases with these roots?”
