Chapter 192 Disease
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"It's burnt! It's burnt! It's burnt!"
A series of sharp sounds came from inside the courtyard. Little Doc tilted his head. He was standing with Ernst outside the gate of a mansion. Before they even entered, they heard a series of shouts coming from inside the courtyard.
Is that the voice of that person?
On the way, Ernst told young Doc that they were to serve a very special person. Looking at the size of the entire mansion, young Doc already pictured a rat-man dressed in luxurious clothes.
Thinking of this, Little Doc couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had heard that those ratmen looked ferocious and ate children. He wondered if it was true or not.
This rat-man looks to be of high status. I wonder if rat-men of higher status are more civilized?
Just as little Doc was lost in thought, Ernst went up and knocked on the door.
"Big......"
boom! ! ! !
Before Ernst could finish speaking, a loud explosion rang out from inside the mansion. The violent explosion shook the entire courtyard, and a thick plume of smoke billowed out. The two people outside were shocked by what they saw.
However, Ernst quickly calmed down and even showed an expression of being used to it, while little Doc was still just a child and had never seen such a scene before. He was immediately frightened and his legs went weak.
However, he did not back down. Instead, he slowly stepped forward and said to Ernst in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Ernst, inside...that explosion..."
"fine."
"This happens frequently."
Seeing little Doc's trembling voice, Ernst patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.
Does this happen frequently?
what?
Little Doc seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned aggrieved.
I've stumbled into a den of demons!
Before even stepping inside, Little Doc had already imagined himself being blown to bits.
I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I shouldn't have come here.
I'm sorry, Headmaster of the Magic Academy, I can no longer study at the Magic Academy.
I... am going to die.
Just as little Doc looked utterly dejected, Ernst knocked on the gate again.
Ta-ta~
"My lord, I have brought a new apprentice medicine boy."
After Ernst finished speaking, he lowered his hand and waited for a response from inside the courtyard. Two or three minutes passed before a sharp voice finally rang out:
"Oh, it's Xiao En!"
"come in."
After receiving permission, Ernst led the nervous young Doc to push open the courtyard gate, and the young Doc immediately looked into the courtyard.
But when he saw the scene inside the courtyard, he was shocked.
Not a ratman!?
This was Doc's first thought.
The short, humanoid figure had brownish-yellow hair and wore an old Taoist robe. He held a small, tattered palm-leaf fan in his hand, which he casually waved a couple of times. Combined with his smiling appearance, it was like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel comfortable.
dog?
Little Doc's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that the important person Ernst was talking about wasn't the rat-man with the pointed snout and shrunken cheeks, but a little yellow dog, and a human-shaped one at that.
The sudden change left Little Dok stunned, staring blankly at the yellow dog-like Taoist priest, unable to recover for a long time.
Ernst, being slightly older, quickly noticed this, so he patted little Doc on the back and said in a half-scolding tone:
pop~
"You must not be disrespectful to adults."
The reprimanding voice echoed in his ears, and little Doc quickly realized that his gaze had been very impolite. He immediately blushed and lowered his head to apologize.
"Yeah...sorry."
Little Doc kept his head down tightly, his face flushed with embarrassment and nervousness. He hadn't expected to offend such an important figure on his very first day. He was doomed...
He wouldn't cook me up and eat me, would he?
However, Little Dok was really overthinking things. The beating and insults he imagined didn't come. Instead, his actions only made the yellow dog Taoist laugh.
"Haha~"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
“I often travel in the mortal world. I am naturally carefree and do not care about the formalities and rituals of ordinary people.”
"Besides, you are still juniors, so I will not make a fuss about it."
Surprisingly, the yellow dog Taoist priest had a wonderful personality. His sharp yet gentle voice, coupled with his infectious smile, gradually calmed Little Doc's tense mood.
But the next second, Little Dok's expression tensed up again, because the yellow dog Taoist suddenly moved closer to him and looked at him with a strange look.
Sniff, sniff~
The yellow dog Taoist priest circled around him once, sniffed around him, and then looked thoughtful.
Oh no, was that smile just now a fake? And now he's suddenly doing all these things next to me to see if I'm tasty?
Little Doc's mind started racing again. Looking at the yellow dog Taoist's fixed gaze, Little Doc's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Tongue out."
No way!!! My tongue doesn't taste good!!!
Even so, Little Doc still obediently stuck out his tongue. After all, once he entered this place, he was already like a fish on a chopping board, and he certainly couldn't resist these important figures.
Ugh... no...
Little Dok kept his eyes tightly closed. Even though he couldn't see, he could still feel the intense gaze of the yellow dog Taoist.
"Have you been feeling unwell lately...?"
Suddenly, the yellow-dog Taoist priest spoke up and asked him a question.
Ok?
Uncomfortable?
Little Dok slowly opened his eyes, looking at the yellow dog Taoist priest who was also looking at him with a puzzled expression.
You're not going to eat me anymore?
"To be honest, I do feel a little uncomfortable. I've been feeling a tightness in my chest lately, and I also get dizzy from time to time. I have to drink a lot of water every day, otherwise I feel extremely uncomfortable."
Despite his doubts, Little Dok answered truthfully, but when the Yellow Dog Taoist heard this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"His face was dry and his temper was rising."
"Little one, you're sick!"
Get ill?
Little Doc reflected on his physical condition over the past few days and realized that something was indeed wrong.
"Then I..."
Just as Little Doc was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by the yellow dog Taoist priest.
"Don't worry! I have something that can help you relieve your fever and illness."
"You wait here while I go and fetch the medicine."
After saying that, the yellow-dog Taoist priest trotted away and disappeared into the bedroom behind him.
