"If there is no cure, she will run away to the deep mountains and die alone, and she will never let anyone know that she has lithiasis."

"Waaah... But I can't bear to leave my aunt. After my parents abandoned me, my aunt raised me all by herself."

"My aunt was the kindest person to me in the village, sob sob..."

"Without Auntie, I'll be homeless. I don't want that, boohoo..."

Zhao Yun'er became more and more upset as she spoke, and started crying again.

"Let's go take a look."

"Zhao Zhao, do you still recognize your home?"

Skadi pursed her lips. Artoria and Medea still had a vague understanding of Oripathy and were unsure how people with Oripathy would be treated.

待。

Although Losia knew some of it, she didn't really care about people other than Skadi, so she lacked empathy.

The only one here who can truly empathize with Oripathy is Skadi.

She gently patted Zhao Yun'er's head and asked her softly.

"But wild ginseng..."

Zhao Yun'er stood up, somewhat hesitantly, without saying where she lived.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go home, but she hadn't gotten her hands on the wild ginseng yet.

"Ae...I do research in this area. I'm a doctor, and I know about Oripathy."

"I also know that wild ginseng cannot cure Oripathy..."

Skadi didn't know where she had heard this information from, so she could only correct Zhao Yun'er's thinking.

"Oh? Fairy sister is a doctor? Then she must be able to cure Auntie's illness, right?"

Upon hearing Skadi say that she was a doctor, Zhao Yun'er's mood improved considerably.

She looked at Skadi with hopeful eyes, hoping she could give her an answer.

"Although I'd love to say yes, but... I'm sorry, even though I've done a lot of research on Oripathy, I haven't found a cure yet."

"But I have a medicine that can alleviate Oripathy, it's just..."

"It can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure them completely."

Skadi naturally took Zhao Yun'er's small hand.

She was only a little over 1.4 meters tall; calling her a girl was an understatement—she was more like a little girl.

But she was much more mature than a little girl; she looked eleven or twelve, but appeared to be fifteen or sixteen.

Children from poor families mature early; Zhao Yun'er was abandoned by her parents.

There's an aunt in my family who contracted Oripathy six months ago.

This obviously put a lot of pressure on Zhao Yun'er and dealt her a heavy blow. It was only natural that she matured after taking on the responsibility of the whole family.

"But...didn't the God of Healing say he could cure it?"

"I overheard the conversation between the God of Healing and the village chief, and they said it could be cured..."

Zhao Yun'er was somewhat uncertain. Although Skadi had indeed saved her, the renowned medical genius was unlikely to lie.

“Sigh…” Skadi sighed.

If that person could really cure Oripathy, they wouldn't be staying here alone.

I'm afraid he's just another conman, known for robbing people of their money and then killing them.

Fine, I'll just spend some time handling this myself.

She had saved everyone, but when she heard that one of them was a patient with Oripathy, she simply couldn't let it go.

Artoria and Medea followed Skadi silently, not knowing why Skadi was doing this.

After rescuing the person and confirming their safety, you can leave.

After all, they are still secretly carrying out a mission.

Since Skadi said and did so, they decided to go and see for themselves.

Since it's already evening, it's a good thing to rest for a while before setting off.

Do you usually come here to play?

The mountain is over 500 meters high. Although the terrain is not complicated and the terrain for going up and down the mountain is very flat.

But for a girl around ten years old, it is still a very difficult thing.

Skadi was certain that Zhao Yun'er was just an ordinary girl, and even worse than others her age due to malnutrition.

Given his physical condition, climbing such a mountain and gathering medicinal herbs was quite an undertaking.

Look at the mud on her body and the tattered hem of her skirt, and then look at the medicinal herbs in her bamboo basket.

She's probably been here for a long time. Doesn't she get tired?

"Yes! I know the fairy sister must be worried about whether I'm tired."

"I was very tired when I came up, but I knew there was an orchard here and a clear spring next to it."

"Just eat a fruit and drink a sip of spring water."

"Not only will nothing bad happen, but you will also recover your strength quickly and won't get tired even after walking all day."

Because Skadi had been secretly comforting her, Zhao Yun'er quickly recovered from her grief.

She is naturally lively and exudes a youthful energy.

She also answered Skadi's question.

"Since the fruit is so good, why don't we eat it every day?"

“You’ve been malnourished for a long time. If this continues, you might die from overwork one day.”

Don't you know?

Skadi figured out the reason, and if Zhao Yun'er didn't know, she could take it as a reminder.

"I know... I know..."

Zhao Yun'er lowered her head, completely accepting Skadi's reprimand.

"But we had no money at home, and it was just me and my aunt who depended on each other for survival."

"My aunt has bad legs and can't do hard labor, so she can only do some needlework."

"I don't earn much money. I basically grew up eating food from many different families."

"Auntie also... also said that she knows I get along well with everyone."

“If people knew that she had lithiasis, they would definitely reject her, and then reject me.”

"By then, I might not even be able to afford food..."

"But I don't want my aunt to die, and I don't want to lose her because of this."

"If I could cure my aunt, I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore..."

"Six months ago, my aunt became unable to move due to lithiasis, so I have been taking care of her and earning money ever since."

"This mountain is one of the few places I can visit alone."

"I don't know where the fruits and spring water come from."

"But I know it must be a treasure."

"Every time I come, I can eat a meal and drink a sip of spring water."

"It's already a very good thing."

"This is a gift from God, and I cannot destroy it casually, nor can I eat too much of it."

"Because of this, there will definitely be punishment..."

"The children in the village all say that I am suffering in this life because my parents did too many bad things and I was a bad person in my past life."

"If I don't do well in this life, I will definitely suffer in the next life as well."

"I can bear this myself, but I absolutely cannot let my next life be like this..."

"At least in my next life, I want to have a mother, a father, and an aunt... I want one..."

"A complete family... I want to live with my dad, mom, and aunt, so I don't have to go hungry or worry about whether I can survive the winter."

"I want to receive gifts during the holidays, and I want everyone to gather around for a meal during the Lunar New Year."

"I'm perfectly willing to suffer now so that I can enjoy these things in my next life."

"But Auntie can't, Auntie can't die because of lithiasis..."

"I don't want my aunt to die, I don't want..."

"If my death could allow my aunt to live a good life, I would definitely do it."

It seemed that Skadi had completely opened up Zhao Yun'er's heart, and she answered all of her questions without reservation.

My own background, my current situation.

Why is there malnutrition, and why not eat those good fruits to supplement nutrition?

What are my own thoughts? What are my own dreams?

Everything has been explained to Skadi.

During this time, Skadi didn't say anything, just listened to what she said, her feelings were extremely complicated.

This child is so good, why did he have to go through something like this?

Is it really true that good people don't get rewarded, and kind people should be punished?

She shouldn't have encountered these dangers; she should have been a very good child.

Can......

This is not just about Originium disease, but more about people's hearts.
