Inside Ye Lingfeng's newly purchased house, Chen Tuo carried a large bag of dicine and walked up a few steps to a bedroom. On the bed lay a person covered in blood, with a deathly pale complexion and weak breath.
"Wan Leng, hold on," he said, furrowing his brows. If it weren't for Wan Leng's special identity, prohibiting him from going to the hospital, there would be no way Chen Tuo would leave him here.
The wounds on his body were peculiar, not resembling cuts from a sharp blade or animal claws. He couldn't describe them accurately; it seed as if sothing had corroded him, yet there were no traces of sulfuric acid or similar substances. It was very strange.
In addition, the blood flowing out was dark and cool to the touch, rather than the normal warmth. It was eerie. He tightly pressed his hand against the wound, and in a short ti, his hand was stained red with blood.
Chen Tuo couldn't bear to watch and quickly took out the Hemostatic Pill, sprinkling it on the wound. However, it was ineffective; the bleeding wouldn't stop at all. What should he do?
In his urgency, he suddenly noticed a few white porcelain bottles remaining in the bag. He had spent a hundred thousand yuan on them, but regretted it as soon as he was on the road. They must have been sold by the pharmacy to deceive unsuspecting custors; how could ordinary dicine be so expensive?
But now he had no other options. He could only use desperate asures. Clenching his teeth, he opened one of the bottles and found only a single pill inside. His heart sank; he was certain this was a swindle.
Without much hope, he followed Liu Hanqiu's instructions and crushed the pill into powder, sprinkling it on the wound. To his surprise, the bleeding from Wan Leng's wound ceased shortly after.
It worked! Chen Tuo felt joy in his heart and quickly took out the other bottles of Hemostatic Pill, cautiously sprinkling them on Wan Leng's wound, not wasting even a bit.
Finally, the bleeding stopped. Chen Tuo hurriedly bandaged him up, and Wan Leng's complexion seed to improve.
"How is he?" Ye Lingfeng entered the room and asked solemnly.
"The bleeding has stopped," Chen Tuo wiped the sweat off his forehead and glanced at the porcelain bottles on the floor. "This dicine is truly effective."
Ye Lingfeng swept a glance at them but didn't pay much attention. After inspecting Wan Leng's wound and confirming there were no problems, he proceeded to bandage him. In a low voice, he said, "Go and find out what happened."
Didn't Wan Leng say the mission was not difficult? How did he get injured? Ye Lingfeng's brow furrowed, and his gaze turned heavy.
"Yes," Chen Tuo quickly responded, noticing Ye Lingfeng's displeased expression. He hastily walked out.
After a while, Ye Lingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to leave, he accidentally kicked a bag. He picked it up and looked at the porcelain bottles inside. Were these the ones used to stop Wan Leng's bleeding?
He opened one and sniffed it, but to his surprise, he furrowed his brows tightly. There was no dicinal scent, but instead... an aroma of oranges?
Was this dicine? Could it be candies ant for children to eat?
Next door, Zhouzhou opened the small dicine cauldron and slled the strong strawberry scent inside, making her mouth water.
It slls so good.
She licked her lips, put the dicine in a porcelain bottle, and handed it to Qin Er, "Second Elder brother, could you please deliver this to Hanqiu?"
After the previous business failure and bankruptcy, Qin Er quickly bounced back.
When he learned that Zhouzhou started selling dicine, he imdiately volunteered to help deliver the dicine. He would earn 200 yuan as a delivery fee for each order of the dicine she made, which was a good deal.
Originally, Qin Er planned to continue being a middleman and earn the price difference, but since it was a dicine used for treating illnesses, he doubted anyone would dare to buy it if he sold it. So he gave up on that idea.
It would be better to continue working for Little Qin and fill up the hole in his small treasury first.
"Sure." He took the porcelain bottle, curious, and asked, "Zhouzhou, do you need to make any other dicine? I can deliver them together."
Zhouzhou shook her head, "Not for now. Hanqiu just called and said the Hemostatic Pills were sold out, so I only need to make more of those."
She didn't expect the business to be so good. In just a short while, she had earned 100,000 yuan?
Making money in this place wasn't as difficult as her senior brothers had said.
Zhouzhou tilted her head in thought, feeling more enthusiastic. She fanned herself with the fan in her hand, and her chubby arm trembled along with it. Her little face was flushed from the fire, and she hurriedly put another handful of dicinal herbs into the cauldron. Sweat dripped down her forehead, and her eyes sparkled. She could vaguely see the shape of ingots.
She said, "Second Elder brother, wait for for a mont. It seems like many people want these Hemostatic Pills, so I'll make a few more bottles."
"Okay." Qin Er also took out a small notebook and wrote down ten bottles of Hemostatic Pills.
This way, they would know which one sold well after so ti, and they could make more of those.
The two of them were busy and lively, but it wasn't the sa for their neighbor, Ye Lingfeng.
Several days had passed, and Wan Leng's wounds had healed, and he had no other health issues, but he still hadn't regained consciousness.
Ye Lingfeng frowned, "What's going on?"
Chen Tuo shook his head; he didn't know either.
"Boss, I investigated. Wan Leng took on an escort mission this ti, but they passed through a forest, and after that, he got injured. The others who were with him also fell unconscious. They don't know what happened exactly, but they ntioned a strange sound in the forest."
A strange sound?
Ye Lingfeng asked, "What kind of sound?"
Chen Tuo shook his head, "I don't know either. There were no surveillance caras in that forest, so we couldn't find out. They imitated it once, and it felt like the sound of the wind, but sharper. By the way, they also ntioned that the forest was unusually cold."
Although it was already late autumn, and the weather had cooled down, the temperature there was nearing freezing.
It's so strange.
Ye Lingfeng pondered for a mont, "Let's save him first and ask him when Wan Leng wakes up."
As he said that, he glanced at a bag and turned to ask, "Where did you buy that Hemostatic Pill?"
"It's from Shennong Hall."
If it was from Shennong Hall, then there probably wouldn't be any issues. It was likely just an extra layer of sugar coating added by Doctor Liu to make it less bitter.
He looked at Wan Leng lying unconscious on the bed and said, "Go and invite Doctor Liu to co and check on Wan Leng."
First, let's wake him up.
"Yes." Chen Tuo imdiately went to Shennong Hall, but he received the news that Doctor Liu Hanqiu wasn't there.
"Where did he go?"
"He went to the hospital. Soone injured their leg, and Doctor Liu was called to treat them."
Injured their leg?
Chen Tuo raised an eyebrow slightly, suddenly thinking of Ye Lingran. That guy was probably in the hospital crying with his mother right now.
Thinking about the scared look he had in the underground parking lot that day, Chen Tuo couldn't help but sneer.
He dared to bully his boss, thinking he was tough. It turns out he wasn't that great after all.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly dismissed the thought and asked the shopkeeper, "When will Doctor Liu co?"
"We don't know. Doctor Liu doesn't have a fixed schedule for coming here. He might co tomorrow, or he might not co for the next few months."
Is that so?
Chen Tuo furrowed his brows and realized that this ti, it was destined to be a fruitless effort.
He shifted his gaze and saw a few more bottles of Hemostatic Pills on the shelf, so he said, "Pack these up for ."
They were surprisingly useful, so it was good to have them as a backup.
"By the way, who made this dicine? Was it Doctor Liu?"
He casually inquired, thinking it was him, but the answer he received surprised him.
"No, it was made by Doctor Liu's master." That day, Doctor Liu called that girl his master, and they were amazed. But after seeing her skills, they imdiately admired her.
He has a master?
Chen Tuo was astonished, and an image of an elderly Chinese doctor with gray hair naturally appeared in his mind. After all, Liu Hanqiu himself was not young anymore.
If they could invite his master, it's likely that Wan Leng would also wake up.
Nodding thoughtfully, he took the dicine and went back.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Zhouzhou sitting in the courtyard, fanning the small dicine cauldron with one hand and stuffing herbs into it with the other, without any hesitation, putting everything in at once.
She looked just like a child playing pretend.
Chen Tuo found it amusing and couldn't help whistling. He teased, "Hey, Little Baldy, making fake dicine again?"
