Chapter 777: Chapter 777: The Slow Zhao Xi Chapter 777: Chapter 777: The Slow Zhao Xi Shu Yu curiously took the box, “What is this?”
Beside her, Zhao Xi said languidly, “These are a few medicines I made to restock your supplies. Didn’t you use all of that medicine for stopping bleeding and treating external injuries for Cheng Dong yesterday? And you also used half of the knockout powder, I’ve replenished those for you, so you won’t run out.”
While speaking, he glanced at Meng Yunzheng, yawned, “There are also two types of poison, the effects of which I’ve written on paper. Your Young Master Meng is worried you’d encounter someone like Cheng Dong again, someone who won’t even let you speak. He specially asked me to prepare these; I stayed up all night, it was exhausting.”
Only then did Shu Yu notice the dark circles under his eyes, indeed… he looked quite haggard.
“Thank you.” Seeing his earnest efforts, Shu Yu kindly shared some news with him, “I will keep these medicines safe. Not just for me, I’ll get some for my mother and sister too. So that if we run into a local tyrant like last time, my sister doesn’t know martial arts like I do, but having medicine will allow her to protect herself.”
Seeing Zhao Xi perking his ears up, Shu Yu smiled and then changed the topic, “However, she might not need it much. Maybe in the future, someone will escort her back and forth. You don’t know, today I went to Huifeng Escort Agency and met Head Escort Luo’s son, named Luo Qing. He was talking with my father, and kept asking about my sister, very attentive.”
Zhao Xi’s eyes widened, “What Luo Qing?”
Shu Yu looked at him puzzled, “Yes, Luo Qing. He’s tall and sturdy, and also the Young Head Escort. I heard from my father that he’s also quite skilled in martial arts.”
Hearing that Lu Erbai seemed quite satisfied, Zhao Xi suddenly became a bit anxious, “Yu, you really need to persuade your father and your sister. You’re about to leave; if your sister marries that Young Head Escort, it’ll be like being separated by mountains and rivers. Can’t you bear to leave her here alone?”
Shu Yu held back a laugh. It seemed her intuition was right; Zhao Xi indeed had feelings for her sister.
It’s just that he himself seemed a bit slow.
She exchanged a glance with Meng Yunzheng, who also chuckled, then started pulling Zhao Xi out, “It’s getting late, we should set off.”
Zhao Xi was not giving up, and while being pulled away, he kept calling out to Shu Yu, “You really need to think this through, Yu, you must persuade them, don’t let them do anything foolish…”
His voice gradually faded away; the old lady returned with a basket, looking confused, “What happened? What did Doctor Zhao tell you to persuade?”
“He told me to remind you to take care of your health, and he also left some medicinal diet recipes. He said it’s easy to get sick during the winter, so you should eat well and not skimp on spending money just to save. He will be going away for a while with Young Master Meng to handle some matters, and won’t be able to look after us all the time.”
The old lady smiled, her eyes squinting joyfully, “This young man is really thoughtful. Always so loud and blustery, but a good person at heart.”
Indeed, loud and blustery, yet slow at the uptake.
Thinking of Zhao Xi’s suddenly anxious demeanor just then, Shu Yu couldn’t help feeling cheerful.
In the afternoon, Qi Chan indeed came looking for her, asking a lot about the Heating Packs, then he left.
He left Heichang County to find Lord Cheng.
Presenting the Heating Packs before the Emperor would surely need approval from the governor, now Qi Chan was a subordinate of the governor.
