"What do I usually eat?"
Qiaoba'er was very puzzled, they suddenly became so curious about her food.
Through the door, she mumbled angrily, "I'm not picky, just bring me whatever."
She had been in isolation for almost two weeks, she was going crazy. She was also afraid of actually infecting Junzhimu and the others with the virus. Knowing that it wasn't easy for Junzhimu and the others to handle things outside, Miss Qiao rarely showed consideration.
"No, we're serious. What do you usually eat? Any herbs or anything like that."
The isolated door creaked open with a loud bang.

She certainly doesn't want to become a figure of infamy.
Outside the door, Lu Qinian and Lao Gui couldn't help but smile. " ...It's alright, I've checked and you're not sick, it won't spread to us." Looking at her serious expression, you wouldn't guess that Miss Qiao was so responsible.
Jo Baoer fell silent, looking at their sinister smiles, feeling as if she had been set up.
"Didn't I really not need to be quarantined for so long?" she guessed, "You guys purposely locked me up!"
Damn it!
"...I'm not trying to mess with you, we're just as confused as you are about why you're immune to this disease."
Lu Qinian quickly explained, "Yes, even your savage Sambaa has immunity."
“We want to investigate whether what you two usually eat has any therapeutic effect on this disease.”
Immunity? <<<

Lu Qin'nan coaxed and threatened, "... Qiao Bao'er, don't be like this. This is really important, so many lives are depending on it. You gave Raphael those medicinal fruit that made him stiff and numb last time, you must know more about herbs with medical value, right?"
"There are quite a few. I'm not sure which kind you want." It's important, Qiao Bao'er didn't dare to delay.
She and Samba ate the most of the return grass, which was used to flavor grilled meat and remove oil. "Purple little leaves, small white flowers, smelling like a bit of pungent cilantro, tasting slightly bitter with a lingering fragrance."
Succulents, we've eaten a lot of them too. Like cactus leaves, they're thick with juice and quench your thirst. The taste is bitter and slimy. There are especially many of these in rocky areas.
But, I know there is one kind of succulent that is poisonous, and if you eat it, it will paralyze your whole nervous system.
Qiao Baoer explained as thoroughly as possible, Lu Qinan and Lao Gui took notes, but they were really unfamiliar with the island's flora. "Tomorrow you go with Samba and come back with us to collect some samples."
"Is Samba here in this palace too?" Qiao Bao'er immediately stared at them.
He seems to have come to find you.
Lu Qinan was guilty. He packed up his books and hurried away.
When Qiao Baor arrived and found Samba, she realized that Samba had actually been to the palace three days ago. It turned out that Lu Qinian and his bunch of bastards had lied to Samba, tricking him into doing experiments in the patient area.
"You're all so precious! Are the lives of wild people nothing?" Qiao Baoer was furious.
If it weren't for the greater good, Qiao Baoer wouldn't be willing to take this bunch of scoundrels to identify fruit and herbs.
Lu Qinan and Lao Gui and the others were each very guilty, not daring to look straight at her blazing eyes.
"Raphael ate this plant, so he was poisoned and paralyzed all over..."
This is a succulent plant, about half a meter tall. It doesn't bloom. Its young green leaves are lush and thick with juice, resembling a cactus in that it has many spines, though these are soft.
Qiao Bao'er led Lu Qinan and the others out to identify plants. They picked some common ones like cherry tomatoes, rambutan, and black-skinned watermelon to take back.
There is another kind of leaf, like a banana leaf, very wide and able to wrap up a whole person. It's emerald green with a strong, fresh grassy scent. This leaf can help relieve some stomach discomfort.
Samba knew they were looking for herbs to cure their illness, so he eagerly pulled up several different plants, muttering to himself.

One kind is a small, purple, slender grass with only three leaves per plant. Its roots are also purple and very bitter. It has a strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
Another type is a vine with dark green leaves and grayish-white undersides. It resembles ivy, the plant being very dry with almost no sap. Samba once pounded the vine into pulp with stones and stuffed the grass pulp into Qiao Bao'er's throat. It had a numbing and pungent taste, highly irritating to the throat and stomach.
" Samba, you don't have to pay attention to these idiots." Qiao Baoer glared fiercely at Lu Qinan and the others.
Female translator Lily also came over. Now that diseases are spreading across the island, no one can escape them. Putting aside prejudice, everyone should do their part. She explained Samba's description of the medicinal properties and functions of the herbs.
The people behind hurriedly jotted it down with a pen.
Lu Qinan and Lao Gui looked at each other nervously. Samba, with his bushy beard and menacing appearance, "He seems like a nice person," whispered softly.
Because of the wild man's large and burly physique, and his fierce appearance, they held prejudices against him. Only after truly interacting with him did they realize that the indigenous people on this island would not take the initiative to attack unless there was a conflict of interest. In fact, they were even quite willing to help others.
The savagery of the heart is so noble.
Busy for three days, besides carefully distinguishing the various vegetation on this island, Lu Qinnan and they also learned about the temperament and habits of wild people.
"...So, when Qiao Baoer first fell into the island and was picked up by wild people, it was a good thing."
Tsk tsk, who would have thought that back then?
After dinner, they were sorting through their collected herbal resources, while whispering conspiratorially to each other, “....Lily told me that the wild man Samba keeps calling Jo Bao'er 'cub'."
Suddenly, Lu Qinan and the others felt a headache coming on.
It seems that in the eyes of the wild man, Qiao Baier is just a cub.
This is like raising her as a cub...
Qiao Baoer was in another room, and she suddenly sneezed.
She only knew a smattering of the wild native tongue, and Samba kept calling her with a strange pronunciation. So far, Jo Bao'er didn't know it meant "cub."
The next morning, Qiao Bao'er, like the previous few days, pulled Samba out of the palace. Samba thought they were going to find plants again, but Qiao Bao'er rebelled, "…Let's sneak away, don't let them know."
Samba stood still, lagging for a moment before waving his fingers and muttering "No", "Not allowed", "I promised them".
"Just keep it from them." Qiao Baier explained simply.
Samba's dark eyes widened in alarm, his brain momentarily short-circuited, leaving him frozen.
Qiao Baoer looked at his menacing appearance, but she knew he was a simple man who wouldn't think things through. She sighed, "… Samba, there are only a few people on the island who haven't gotten sick now. We two aren't afraid of this disease."
"Clean water is important, so today we're going to check the situation upstream along the river and see if we can find any clean water sources."
The palace now stores very little water, but it will soon run out. The wild men of the market have already started drinking directly from the river. Humans cannot live without water, nor can wild men, so more and more wild men are getting sick lately.
If this disease continues to worsen, the consequences will be unimaginable, and in the end, everyone will die.
As for the herbal medicine, Lao Gui and his group will be conducting experiments. She and Samba have immunity, which could be of great help.
Sambo, after understanding, was immediately persuaded by Qiao Bao'er and nodded at her.
In fact, no matter what Qiao Baoer said, Samba would believe it as long as the logic was sound.
But, recently Samba absorbed some wisdom and actually asked back, { Why}{ Can't}{ Tell}{ Them}
Qiao Bao'er wore a strange expression and smeared them black, "Samba, they are bad people."
She wants to go out and find a water source, but Junzhi Mu wouldn't agree.
