"Then why did you say it was a good thing?" Zhao Qi suddenly felt that this teammate was somewhat unreliable.
Zhao Shijiu replied, "There must be a reason for the abnormal movement of the poison in Master’s leg. If we can find this reason, perhaps we can antidote the poison for Master, and then Master’s legs will recover. Isn’t that a good thing?"
Zhao Qi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he boldly inquired if Nan Jin Yu had noticed anything unusual these two days.
Nan Jin Yu carefully recalled the events of the past few days. The only thing that could be considered unusual was his unexpected pity for a little girl, and the fact that he spent silver to buy all her peaches.
Nan Jin Yu turned to look at the fruit platter on the table, pondering.
But Zhao Shijiu had already inspected them; the peaches were not abnormal.
"Bring me another peach." Nan Jin Yu suddenly said.
Zhao Shijiu had a premonition and hurriedly went to fetch a peach, this time with a solemn expression without any trace of his usual carefree demeanor.
Holding back his sense of fullness, Nan Jin Yu ate another peach and then closed his eyes to regulate his breathing using his inner strength.
This time, he clearly felt that, as the stomach digested, a gentle stream of energy circulated throughout his body through his bloodstream, finally heading towards his legs until it contacted the toxin in his leg, making him uncomfortable again.
However, this discomfort made him joyful rather than worried.
This peach could detoxify him!
Unfortunately, the energy contained in the peach was too low and couldn’t completely detoxify, which caused his discomfort.
The poison in his body was something even the Holy Doctor Valley couldn’t deal with. He had thought his legs were destined to be this way forever, yet unexpectedly, he saw hope again.
"Everyone, leave first." Nan Jin Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and instructed.
"Master, should I reapply the needles to suppress the toxin for you?"
Before Zhao Shijiu could finish, Nan Jin Yu interrupted him.
After they left, Nan Jin Yu called another person.
After instructing him to investigate news about Gu Nian, he also insisted that no matter what Gu Nian sold in the future, it all must be bought immediately.
Then, Nan Jin Yu finally breathed out.
Zhao Qi and Zhao Shijiu were quite skilled, but they were ultimately the Emperor’s uncle’s men. They could protect him, but in some matters, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t report back to the Emperor’s uncle.
Instinctively, he didn’t want to harm the little girl he had met on the street.
No matter what secrets she had, or whether the peach matter was just a coincidence, he thought it best not to expose her.
Meanwhile, Gu Nian, riding on a bull cart and enjoying the scenery, had no idea she was already being watched.
Most ancient lands hadn’t been developed. On the road from the town to Taohua Village, only a few villages were sparsely scattered; the rest were large stretches of forest and wild grass.
From time to time, they could see a rabbit running out from the surrounding woods, but unfortunately, they couldn’t catch them.
As for a rabbit running into and being caught by hitting one’s leg like last time, experiencing that even once in a lifetime was rare, let alone expecting it to happen again!
By the time the bull cart arrived home, Gu Nian was almost dozing off from the swaying motion.
"My child, what happened to you?"
Mrs. Jiang’s piercing shout startled Gu Nian awake, sending her sleepiness flying away in an instant. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Lin Sanshui had already helped Mrs. Jiang carry Erhu into the house, and Dahu quickly took the items off the bull cart. Gu Nian simply jumped off the bull cart herself and helped carry the small things home.
Erhu was taken to the main room, and after Mrs. Jiang understood the situation, her curses did not stop, directly going through Master Li’s ancestors all the way back eight generations.
