Auntie Yang quickly took out the things from inside from a small plastic bag. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Nanzhi remembered that the hidden mission was not yet complete.

She spoke after thinking, "Your son may not have a cold. If his palms and feet had red rashes, then it’s likely rat bite fever. Did he eat anything that had holes in their package or does he have any bite marks in his body?"

If there was no rashes, it would be food poisoning but if there is, then it was likely the case of rat-bite fever.

Rat-bite fever is deadly if not treated soon. It’s usually incurred if one came into contact with the infected rat’s saliva, feces or droplets.

Nanzhi knew this since a couple of residents from her past died because of it.

Auntie Yang remembered the milk candies and nodded, "He did eat a candy with its wrappers full of holes." She then became extremely anxious. Is it serious? Is there a cure?"

This son of hers actually hid his favorite pack of candies under his pillow and didn’t tell her. It was only after he started running on a fever that the boy confessed about the candies, thinking that he was a bad kid and the heavens had punished him for not sharing.

At that time, Auntie Yang had seen holes that look like bite marks from candy wrappers. Because she was busy cleaning the shattered glasses in the living room, she wasn’t able to monitor her son. She was filled with regret.

"He needed to take intravenous penicillin for seven days and after that, take penicillin orally for another 7 days." Nanzhi said. This was the standard treatment for the rat-bite fever.

"But I don’t have penicillin." Auntie Yang was closed to tears. She only hoarded food and water but not medicine and there’s no operating pharmacy right now.

Just then, Nanzhi saw a man came behind Dan Dan’s mother. "Honey, I already asked the other tenants from the other floors but they said they didn’t have medicine."

The light in her eyes changed. She didn’t expect to meet him here.

She couldn’t mistake that face, especially that brown birth mark shaped like a map on the middle-aged man’s forehead.

When she was fleeing from a group of cannibals, she met him and his team of awakeners. He lend her a hand and gave her a pack of biscuits and half a bottle of water afterwards.

Nanzhi was out on a mission to pick up plants at that time.

But unlike now, back then, he was a gloomy man, he rarely spoke and it was only from one of his teammates that she got to know of his story.

His teammate said that he had a wife and son but because of a disease his son died and his wife got depressed after her son’s death and perished as well.

"Dear, she said to cure Dan Dan, we need penicillin. But where do we get them?" Auntie Yang became emotional.

"Don’t cry. We’ll certainly think of a way." Auntie Yang’s husband was also worried but maintained a strong front.

Suddenly, they heard Nanzhi spoke.

"Wait a minute. I think I have some penicillin." Nanzhi closed the door before taking out a small pouch.

She had penicillin?

The couple became very happy.

Nanzhi opened the door again and handed small pouch to them, containing the exact 7 penicillin pills and 7 small set of intravenous penicillin inside.

As the situation grew worse, the value of the supplies became apparent. For the woman in Unit 2103 to give them so much, they were overwhelmed by gratitude.

"I don’t know how to thank you enough. Please take these supplies. I know their nothing compared to the medicines."

They almost knelt in front of her door but Nanzhi stopped them and only said, "It’s okay. I only have these. However, don’t tell anyone this." It was to repay a favor but if they told others about it, then she won’t be kind.
