Chapter 112: Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night

After flipping through numerous medical books without finding a solution, when Luo Qiao was about to lose hope, she noticed an inconspicuous handwritten copy beside her. It was only a few pages long, containing two prescriptions.

One for Burn Spirit and the other for Scar Gel. Luo Qiao felt like she had found a treasure. She read through them repeatedly, then grabbed her medical books and rushed towards the medicinal field. Back when she was on the farm, the previous owner had learned how to make ointments from Grandpa Yang a few times.

Following the prescriptions, she gathered all the necessary herbs. Busy until late at night, she finally produced the finished product. During the process, she hadn’t even taken a sip of water.

Due to her lack of proficiency, she wasted quite a bit of medicinal herbs. Eventually, after much difficulty, she managed to produce a small bowl of Burn Spirit. However, she couldn’t find a suitable container to store the medicine for a long time.

Looking at the bowl in her hand, she thought that she can’t just carry this bowl out. Besides the bamboo tube, there’s only this bowl in the space. But if she takes this bowl out, she’s afraid someone with ill intentions might see it. After all, it’s an antique.

After pondering for a while, she exited the space. Checking the time, it was already nine o’clock at night. She opened the door and looked into the courtyard, where moonlight shone outside.

Thinking that Xiao Shitou might still be suffering, she left the courtyard and opened the gate. She wanted to go to Lu Yichen’s house to see if there were any jars or bottles she could use.

The original owner was particularly afraid of the dark. Luo Qiao had done missions at night during the apocalypse, and tonight’s moonlight was good. So, mustering up her courage, she directly went over and knocked on Lu Yichen’s door.

Lu Yichen was awakened by the knocking sound. Hearing clearly that someone was at the door, he got up, put on his clothes, and came out, asking, “Who’s there?”

Luo Qiao replied, “Brother Lu, it’s me, Luo Qiao.”

With that, the door was opened, and Lu Yichen stepped out. He glanced left and right, seeing only Luo Qiao. “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

Luo Qiao asked somewhat embarrassedly, “Brother Lu, do you have any canned bottles at home?”

Lu Yichen didn’t know why this girl was looking for canned bottles in the middle of the night. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that he did indeed have some. The last time he helped a friend with something, they had left him two bottles of canned goods before leaving.

He had just brought them back and set them under the kitchen cabinet. If Luo Qiao hadn’t asked, he might have forgotten about it.

Turning to the kitchen, he took out the two cans and handed them to Luo Qiao, saying, “There are still two cans that haven’t been eaten yet. You can take them all.”

Luo Qiao replied, “Then you pour the canned goods into a bowl, I only need the bottles.”

Lu Yichen handed everything over to Luo Qiao in one go, saying, “These things have been sitting for a long time. I’m not really into eating them. You take them back.”

Luo Qiao felt a bit awkward. She had originally just wanted to find a bottle, but now it seemed like she was taking over someone else’s canned goods.

She thought for a moment and said, “Then thank you, Brother Lu. I’ll make some delicious food for you later and bring it over as a thank you.”

After bidding farewell, she started walking back.

Lu Yichen wasn’t sleepy anymore. He watched Luo Qiao enter the courtyard before closing the door again. However, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of not asking more questions. What did this girl need the bottles for?

He figured she must be in urgent need, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come knocking at this hour without much courtesy.

Luo Qiao was unaware that she had completely disturbed his rest. Back home, she poured the canned goods into a bowl, quickly washed and cleaned the bottles, then found a piece of fine cotton cloth in the space to dry them.

Only then did she spoon the Burn Spirit into the bottles and seal them tightly. It was only then that she realized how hungry she was.

She rummaged through the warehouse for some food to fill her stomach, quickly freshened up, changed her clothes, locked the door with her things, and headed to the commune’s health center.
