At night, the rain suddenly started to pour down.

That was how the weather was like over there. The rain poured down without a warning even though it was bright and sunny in the afternoon.

Although they were shielded by the wooden cabin, they were not protected from the mosquitos so Ning Ran set up a mosquito net around the bed so that her precious kids could sleep well inside it.

The mosquitos there were extraordinarily big and had weird marks grown on their wings. A person could be stung even if he/she had a jacket on, and the boils caused by those mosquitoes’' bites were huge.

The next morning, quite a few of them were swollen all over their body and face and was itching and hurting at the same time.

Nan Chen and Dabao got together again to have a discussion.

Ning Ran was curious about what could the two 'ice blocks' be talking about so she tiptoed over again to eavesdrop on them.

“That plant can only treat snake poisons. Mosquito bites and snake poisons are different, and different remedies are used to treat different snakes' poisons,” explained Nan Chen.

“But we can give it a try,” said Dabao.

“No, we can't do that,” argued Nan Chen, “what if there are side effects?”

“I don't think there'll be any side effects. Those mosquitos may be carriers of diseases because the boils they cause were extraordinarily big. It may be dangerous if we don't treat it quickly,” said Dabao as he frowned.

Nan Chen was also frowning.

The same expression, the same frown, the same amount of stubbornness lit up on both the kid's and the adult's face.

“It's dangerous to use it too because the side effects may be fatal,” said Nan Chen.

“I don't think so,” insisted Dabao.

“Any basis for that statement?” asked Nan Chen.

“I think I remember that it can cure contagious diseases, but I'm not certain.”

“If you're not certain, then it's best not to try.”

“Mommy?” Dabao realized that Ning Ran was eavesdropping on them.

Ning Ran cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, “What are you two talking about?”
