He had a severe cold that day, but he was almost cured after just one night. How could the cold medicine that person gave him be so effective?!
That person always seemed to have a lot of new things, including a cold-proof shed that he had never seen before.
He didn’t know what the ingredients of the medicine were. If he could identify the ingredients, could he collect the herbs to save these women, children, the elderly and the young?
In order to conceal the situation and prevent people in the palace from finding out, officials in the inner city had already begun to drive the people infected with the plague out of the capital.
The people were suffering from cold and were crying out to the sky.
However, officials in the city were reveling in peace and prosperity day and night.
Lu Huan turned around and paused for a moment as he fixed his gaze on a dying child, about eight years old, whose hands were red from the cold and who was shoeless.
His eyes dimmed, and after a moment he forced himself to look away.
At this moment, a new main task popped up on Su Xi’s interface:
[Hint: Please accept the main task 4: Assist the protagonist to make a miraculous medicine for treating colds, become an unknown miracle doctor in the capital, win the hearts of thousands of people, and earn fifty taels of silver in ten days by selling cold medicine.]
[The mission reward is 500 gold coins, 6 points, and the difficulty is eight stars.]
Wait, fifty taels——?
Su Xi was startled at first, but then she saw the words “points reward” and was immediately motivated!
However, even if there was no such task, when she saw the cub standing there and looking at the poor child from afar, she felt that the cub had made up his mind to do this matter.
She didn’t know what the cub was thinking.
But she had seen that among the books piled in the cub’s closet, the one he read the most and had frayed edges was a picture of a peaceful world with calm rivers and seas, and good harvests.
….
At the same time, in Ning Wang’s Mansion, Ning Wang’s wife was walking back and forth in Lu Wenxiu’s room, constantly fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, but she was so anxious that she had almost lost her mind.
After being rescued from the stream, Lu Wenxiu had been having a fever and coughing. She thought it was just a cold, so she asked a doctor to come and see him and he told him to take medicine on schedule.
But she never expected that it had not been healed even after so many days!
Moreover, Wenxiu’s condition worsened completely three days ago and he was completely unable to get out of bed. Wenxiu now had a high fever and seemed to have lost his mind.
The imperial physician from the palace even shook his head and said, “The Second Young Master was already weak, and after falling into the icy lake, his body was further stimulated. There is nothing else we can do now. We can only hope that good things will come to us.”
This was said in an obscure way, but the implication was that there was no way to save the patient. Even the imperial physician couldn’t help, so where else could one find a better doctor?!
Lady Ning Wang never expected that while she was planning how to kill the bast**d during the hunting trip in Qiuyan Mountain, her own son would become seriously ill because of the self-inflicted fall into the lake a few days ago! She felt a pang in her heart and sat down on the stool.
The old lady had been practicing martial arts and was in good health. And after she was rescued, she was immediately warmed by a stove, so she did not fall ill.
But why was it that even though the bast**d had been in and out of Ning Wang’s mansion for several days, he was still in good health?!
Lady Ning Wang felt anxious, hateful, and distressed about Lu Wenxiu, and she almost gritted her teeth.
….
Lu Huan’s plan to purchase birch wood and feathers was shelved again. This was not a top priority. He was confident that he could win with ordinary bows and arrows, but the lives of these people could not be wasted.
After he made up his mind, he immediately went to do it. He went back to the city and entered a herbal medicine shop.
Lu Huan knew hundreds of herbs by heart. He had opened the medicine bag left by the man that day and had a look at it. It did not contain ground medicine powder, but various medicinal materials that needed to be decocted, which were packed strictly according to dosage. Lu Huan took a quick look at it and memorized those herbs by heart.
Just in case, he sent some cold medicine to Fourth Aunt and left a packet in the closet.
Now, he only needed to buy some of these herbs one by one and then compare them with the previous package of medicine and calculate the prescription of the magic medicine that man sent by weighing it.
But he didn’t know whether that person was willing to let him use those medicines to save others.
….
After Lu Huan bought the herbs, he returned to his own courtyard with a heavy heart.
He strode quickly through the bamboo forest, but when he pushed open the door, he hesitated a little.
Even though he left a note last time, but the person didn’t give any response, so he felt a little disappointed. But this time, he still didn’t give up and a faint hope arose in his heart – hoping to get a reply from the other party.
…But what if that person still ignored him this time?
Lu Huan clenched the medicine bag in his hand, trying his best to curb the ridiculous and excessive expectations in his heart.
He put his composure on his face and walked in.
After organizing his thoughts, he looked at the table, and this time –
“…”
Lu Huan didn’t want to do this, but the color in his eyes lit up in an instant.
He stood by the window, illuminated by the faint sunset outside, and his usually cold face showed a hint of ecstasy.
This was… the first time in fourteen years that his face showed the expression of a young man.
But it seemed that he suddenly realized his emotions… He tried his best to keep a straight face.
He walked quickly to the table, trying to pretend that there was nothing shiny in his eyes.
On the table shore, the gifts were taken away.
Both were taken away.
The man finally saw it, and finally, responded.
Although he didn’t know whether the man took both copies because he saw through his little thoughts and didn’t want to tell him his gender.
But Lu Huan’s mood was still rippling.
…After all, before he was the one who received things from that person unilaterally, but now, at least it meant that he could interact and communicate with that person.
He pursed his lips.
In addition to the gifts being taken away, there was another thing on the table.
His eyes fell on the phoenix feather bow tied with a peculiar knot, and he was slightly startled – the bow was very exquisite, the bow body was made of precious poplar wood, and the short arrows were made of phoenix feathers. It had a large head and a small tail and was extremely sharp. It was a sharp bow that most princes could use.
….
Except for the Phoenix Feather Arrow, all the better ones could only be used by the royal family.
All he wanted was a birch feather bow, but the man seemed to have given him the best he could.
Realizing this, Lu Huan picked up the bow and his heart trembled slightly.
….
And Su Xi outside the screen followed the cub back from the temple, just looking forward to his expression when he saw the bow and arrow she gave him.
She waited happily for the baby to show a surprised expression, but she only saw –
The baby’s face was expressionless and very cold, with no sign of joy or anger.
Su Xi: ???
No, you received the bow and arrow you always dreamed of, so how could you not express your happiness at all? I know you are not lively enough, so I don’t ask you to jump up and give your mother a hug, but at least smile!
But just when Su Xi felt unsatisfied and discouraged, a white bubble slowly appeared above the cub’s head on the screen.
There was a small heart in the white bubble.
As if shy, the happy little heart popped up and then quickly shrank back.
Su Xi: …………
Su Xi’s heart trembled with cuteness. She then dropped her phone, threw herself on the sofa pillow, and covered her face.
