"Zhang Xiaoshan, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Luo ili was startled by Zhang Xiaoshan’s sudden craziness.
Through the window, one could still see people coming and going on the street.
Though she had reached the age of thirty and was as hungry as a wolf, she was after all still a decent woman, and at that mont her cheeks flushed with embarrassnt.
"Little Shan, at least pull the curtains close," she said.
"Be good."
Luo ili initially restrained herself, but eventually, she completely let herself go.
...
Since he had already fooled his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu by saying he was going to attend a training session in the county, Zhang Xiaoshan felt very relieved to stay in Qingshan Town with Luo ili that night, naturally resulting in a sleepless night.
The next day, after sleeping in until noon, he went to Hundred Herbs Hall to buy so traditional dicines for treating a noblewoman’s ailnt before returning to White Dragon Village.
It was the afternoon by the ti he got back ho. Yu Xiuxiu was cooking, and after greeting her, Zhang Xiaoshan went to the room where the noblewoman was staying.
The room was large and the furniture inside was new; on the wall even hung a painting wishing for the birth of a son early and a pair of large ’double happiness’ characters.
This room, originally prepared as a bridal chamber for Wu Xiaoru, had unexpectedly beco the first residence of the noblewoman.
When Zhang Xiaoshan entered the room, the noblewoman was asleep.
At the sound of his entry, she sat up, startled.
"Who’s there?"
She held a pair of scissors in her hand, defensively eyeing the doorway.
"Relax, it’s ," he said.
Zhang Xiaoshan was also startled.
After seeing Zhang Xiaoshan’s figure, the noblewoman imdiately dropped her guard and placed the scissors back under her pillow.
"You, you’re back, did you bring the dicine to treat my appearance?" she asked with a face full of expectation.
Zhang Xiaoshan gave the noblewoman a once-over.
He had a good idea of the noblewoman’s current physical condition.
After two days of recuperation, her Qi had recovered a bit, saving her life, but since her Qi had been severely depleted, full recovery would definitely take so ti.
Her bones had more or less nded, but the external injuries were the most serious.
The woman had not a single unmarred spot on her back, waist, legs, face; in fact, there wasn’t an undamaged place on her entire body.
Severe disfigurent.
Modern dicine would probably consider it beyond cure.
However, having inherited the legacy of the Dragon Girl and possessing the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye, Zhang Xiaoshan had already found a treatnt thod.
Rejuvenating Snow Skin Ointnt!
With this dication prepared and applied to the patient’s wounds, in one week it could cause the skin to regenerate, truly a Divine dicine, but the problem lay in the raw materials.
Toxic substances were needed to fight poison with poison, to completely destroy the rotten flesh in the wounds, breaking it down before rebuilding.
Zhang Xiaoshan had yet to find such a substance.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan was frowning and silent, the noblewoman beca anxious.
"Hey, is it, is my injury incurable?" she asked as tears the size of beans uncontrollably stread from her beautiful eyes.
To a woman, looks are the greatest asset, especially for a pampered lady like her.
Once she was unparalleled in beauty, now she was unspeakably ugly.
How could she accept such a downfall?
"Don’t rush to cry," he said.
"When have I ever said your injury was incurable? Didn’t I tell you when I took you from Wei Bao’s place, to give a month? We haven’t reached the deadline of our agreent, have we?"
"So, do you have a way?" The noblewoman’s face showed a glimr of hope once more.
Zhang Xiaoshan honestly replied,
"I do have a thod, but currently I’m lacking a vital ingredient. Hey, aren’t you a wealthy girl from the city? Why don’t you ask your family to help look for it?"
"No, no, no."
The noblewoman’s head shook like a rattle, frantically saying,
"The fact that I’ve ended up in this godforsaken place absolutely cannot be known by anyone, especially my family. I, I would rather die than let them see in this state. I, I can wait, just help think of a solution, please."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes.
"Fine, as long as you can wait, that’s all that matters."
"Also, stop calling ’hey’. I have a na; call Zhang Xiaoshan."
"Okay, Zhang, Zhang Xiaoshan," the noblewoman timidly nodded.
"Then how should I address you? I saved your life, the least you could do is let know your na, right?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked curiously, looking at the noblewoman.
But the woman, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly curled up into a ball, clutching the blanket to herself and cowering in the corner, hanging her head with an evasive air and remaining silent.
"So la," said Zhang Xiaoshan, seeing her reaction and deciding not to ask further.
"You rest then, I’m going to prepare so soup dicine to replenish your Qi and blood, to help you recover faster."
As he said this, Zhang Xiaoshan turned to leave the room.
"Wait, you, wait a mont," the woman curled up in the corner called out to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"What now?"
Zhang Xiaoshan turned back, looking at the woman with an irritated expression.
