- You look unwell - said the stranger. It seemed to me to be out of place. I could not see how I looked, but the state of my body suggested something more than just "unwell". I turned my head to him with a sour face.
- Bardz-ughh ughh.... - despite a renewed coughing fit I didn't give up - Very śughg ugh... Very funny... - I said to the stranger with difficulty.
- You could put it that way. So I can see that something is bothering you, right? - saying this, I think he squatted down next to me. I could not see his face, but I could swear that he was smiling.
- You are clever - I stated before biting my tongue. Damn, it's not a good idea to tease a potential saviour - also this... ugh ugh I can't see anything and I can't move ugh ugh - my would-be saviour muttered for a moment, slapped his hands on his knees and stood up. At least I thought so.
- Well, you are lucky stranger. You have found a nice guy, who by chance is on his way to the herbalist's - he said cheerfully - for a start let's try to lift you up - as he said so he did. He took me under his arm and surprisingly easily lifted me from the ground, but unfortunately, just as I had feared, my legs did not want to cooperate.
- A wheelchair would be very helpful, at least I think so - I stated the obvious. My interlocutor seemed to have a different opinion. He put me on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
- You are very light, my friend, normally like a child - he said with a mixture of pity
I will take you to the herbalist and we will see what the problem is - with a springy step he moved in the direction from which he had recently turned back.
Moments after I landed on his shoulder, my sight slowly began to return. As we approached the herbalist's house, the buildings gave way to vegetation, and soon we entered the forest. It didn't take us long to reach the place we wanted.
- Here we are - the stranger knocked on the door - hello! Mrs. Xeru!
