Yazhi went to find Xiaoyue and Uncle Zhong. Just a few steps away from the house, she saw an old man and a young child coming back with lanterns.
Buying medicine is not a troublesome thing. The reason why Xiaoyue went there for so long was because she discovered something strange at the drug store in Yulin County.
All drug stores are missing a traditional Chinese medicine - cordyceps.
Cordyceps cordata is a relatively rare traditional Chinese medicine that has the effect of detoxification and ventilation. In the prescription given by Qin Huairou, cordyceps cordata is an indispensable herb as a medicinal primer.
No coincidence, other herbs such as Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, dried ginger, licorice and other herbs are available, but this cordyceps is said to be sold out.
Xiaoyue didn't think it was strange at first, but after she asked three or four people in a row, she became a little suspicious.
All drug stores are the same, that is, there is no "Xingcao".
It can be said that Xingcao is indeed a relatively rare traditional Chinese medicine, but it is not a rare treasure that has a price but no market. Any drug store will have some more or less, and few people use it on weekdays.
Because cordyceps has a strong smell and mild medicinal effect, it is effective for many difficult and complicated diseases, but the results are not quick and the smell is extremely fishy, so few people are willing to use it as medicine.
Finally, Xiaoyue visited most of the pharmacies in Yulin County, and without exception, there was no cordyceps.
Xiaoyue told Xia Shang what she saw and heard.
Xia Shang understood immediately. It seemed that the person who injured Shangguanchan knew the power of his poisonous handprint and knew that he must use cordyceps to detoxify him, so he bought the cordyceps first.
After listening to Xia Shang's analysis, Xiaoyue didn't bother to blame the young master for spying on the girl taking a bath. She asked with a look of horror: "Master, what should I do? Will she die?"
Xia Shang thought for a while: "Do your best to obey fate. Since you are saving people, just do it with a clear conscience. Use whatever medicine is available, and do whatever you need to do. It all depends on the woman's luck."
…
It takes some time to cook the medicine, but it's already dark and I can't tell the time.
Yazhi and Xiaoyue had been busy all day, and being girls, they seemed a little overwhelmed and kept yawning.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Xia Shang let the two of them rest first.
The newly renovated house is basically completed. The walls and roof have been fixed, and only the decoration is needed. So the two of them can live in the new house temporarily. There are also two new beds installed in it. Although it is a bit simple, it is also very comfortable.
.
Uncle Zhong took Yazhi's place, boiling water and decoction.
People who work hard for a long time are indeed more efficient at work. Even if they take care of both sides, they will not be confused at all, let alone tired.
Another half an hour passed, and Xia Shang had to bring water to the house again. Uncle Zhong also cooked the medicine and gave it to Xia Shang to rest behind.
When Xia Shang opened the door again, there was still that thick mist, and everything seemed unchanged. However, when Xia Shang stepped in, he tripped over something.
Unprepared, Xia Shang fell directly to the ground, and all the water he was carrying was poured out, all pouring on Xia Shang himself.
Fortunately, the water was warm, otherwise Xia Shang would have been boiled to death.
"what?!"
Xia Shang stood up cursing, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to it. He immediately turned around to see what had tripped him up.
There were no lights in the thatched house, and it was late at night and there was water mist all over the house, so the vision was very blurry.
There was nothing visible at the entrance, so Xia Shang could only reach out and touch it, and soon he touched a wooden mouth with warm water inside.
Xia Shang rubbed his eyes, came closer and took a closer look, and was shocked.
"Isn't this the basin that was brought in just now? Why is it still at the door?"
The next second, Xia Shang felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
The water basin was still at the door, which proved that Shangguan Chan had not touched the water basin just now.
Recalling the strange feeling before, I felt it was strange that Shangguanchan didn't respond. When I wanted to take a look, I was interrupted by Xiaoyue who suddenly came back, and I forgot about it later.
"Miss Shangguan! Miss Shangguan..."
Xia Shang tried to shout twice, but there was no response.
"Hey, if you're still alive, just say something, or I'll have to come in and take a look."
Still no response.
"Girl, this is for your safety. Please forgive me for any offence. Xia is about to come in."
There is no sound at all, so no need to ask, something must have happened.
Xia Shang didn't think much, and walked all the way to the back of the screen by touching the wall.
After staying in the darkness for a long time, my vision gradually adapted to the current environment, and I could vaguely see a huge bathtub in the hazy mist.
This is a large bathtub made of fragrant pear wood specially ordered by Xia Shang. It is enough to accommodate three people.
Note that it can accommodate three people, so naturally there are some ulterior secrets.
The bathtub was too big, and no one was seen for a while. Xia Shang got closer, and when he reached the edge of the bathtub, he discovered Shangguanchan!
Shangguanchan's body was still submerged in the water, with only one head above the water, slightly lowered, her hair disheveled, and motionless.
"Shangguan girl! Shangguan Chan! Busty girl!"
Xia Shang panicked this time, thinking that he was not really dead, right?
He wanted to reach out and grab it, but as soon as his hand came into contact with the water in the basin, Xia Shang's expression changed!
“It’s so cold!”
The whole room was steaming, but the water in the bathtub was as cold as ice.
Then he reached into the water and grabbed Shangguanchan's shoulders. Xia Shang's heart sank even more.
Where is a human body here? It is clearly a piece of solid ice! You can’t feel a trace of life. Even a dead person cannot be so frighteningly cold!
No matter how much knowledge Xia Shang had, he could not explain what was happening at this moment.
While I was in a daze, the woman in the water suddenly moved!
"who!"
I don't know where this woman got her strange strength. She suddenly grabbed Xia Shang's hand and pulled it down. Xia Shang fell into the basin upside down.
The feeling at this time is indescribable.
When outside the water basin, the water vapor in the house was thick, the indoor temperature was very high, and it was very stuffy, which made Xia Shang sweat all over.
But the water basin is indeed a completely opposite world.
The water is as cold as ice springs.
It felt like I suddenly fell into the Antarctic water from the sauna.
For a moment, Xia Shang's head buzzed, and the strong temperature difference caused his brain to pause for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already poked his head out of the water with the woman holding his collar.
"call……"
Xia Shang took a sharp breath, and just as he was about to speak, a small hand like a pair of iron pincers got stuck on Xia Shang's neck.
"Uh... uh..."
This time, she really felt the threat of death. This was Shangguanchan's last blow obviously when she was in a state of confusion. This was an instinctive reaction. She had no idea who the person beside her was.
Xia Shang wanted to speak out his identity, but he couldn't utter a word. He only felt that the hand holding his neck was getting closer and closer, and soon he was not very conscious.
Xia Shang didn't believe it, he didn't believe that he died so mysteriously!
The sweet wife has not yet tasted her taste, the wealthy nobleman has kept her at home but has not yet confiscated her, the loli maid has not yet watched her grow up, and the unruly student is still waiting to be trained by him...
With so many unfinished things waiting for him, how could he die like this?!
When Xia Shang's consciousness was about to disappear, the feeling of suffocation suddenly disappeared, and a cold and delicate body fell into his arms. (To be continued)
