Chapter 23: Exchange (3)
The woman, though short in stature, had an agile build. She held a large mountain-cleaving knife in her hand and was eyeing Yu Hong with a scrutinizing look.
“Got any food?” Her gaze briefly lingered on the steel nail luminous stone staff Yu Hong was holding.
“Want to trade? What do you want?” she added quickly.
“Got any medicine?” Yu Hong, observing her toned physique, felt that this woman might be stronger than him, and a sense of caution rose within him.
As he kept a wary eye on his surroundings, he looked her over. “I need anti-diarrheal medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine.”
“I have some, but you need to figure out exactly what’s wrong with you, or it’ll just be a waste.” The woman responded quickly.
“Diarrhea, several times in a row. I think it’s because I drank rainwater,” Yu Hong answered promptly.
“Rainwater!?” The woman’s expression changed, and she stopped in her tracks, glaring at Yu Hong. “Did you drink it directly, or did you filter it first?”
“Filtered it,” Yu Hong replied, sensing her reaction and feeling uneasy.
