Hou Diankui was too lazy to say more. He was already so old, yet he only grew older but not smarter.

Chu Laosan wasn't brainless; he was just straightforward and didn't mince words. If he had any sense, he wouldn't have been tricked into coming to such a desolate place.

It's too late for Chu Laosan to regret it now; things have already come to this. Fortunately, no serious consequences have occurred. Hopefully, his family will be able to come and rescue them as soon as they receive the news.

After Jiang Qiao finished collecting the herbs, she began to treat Chu Laosan's grandson. To be honest, this young man was quite pitiful. His parents had passed away, and all that was left in the family was his grandfather. The two of them depended on each other for survival. However, having such a confused and muddle-headed grandfather was enough to make this young man suffer.

Chu Jiabao still can't understand why his grandfather ended up finding such a person to treat him. This girl is even younger than him, and even if she knows some medical skills, she can't compare to those senior doctors.

The others who came with them couldn't understand it either, so how could this girl understand it? He didn't consider himself someone who looked down on others.

Jiang Qiao certainly noticed the look in the other person's eyes.

"It's normal for you to have doubts, but you can express your opinion after the treatment is over. You guys stay outside and keep watch, don't let anyone make a fuss. I need to give you acupuncture now, so have someone quickly brew the medicine I prepared..."

After Jiang Qiao carefully explained how to brew the medicine, she quickly cleared the area.

Hou Diankui sat guarding the door. Chu Laosan was still worried, so he stayed to keep watch, only sending his grand-nephew to check on the medicine.

"Hurry up, your younger brother is waiting for his medicine, don't burn it."

Outside, Chu Laosan was wandering around with his hands behind his back.

Although he trusted Jiang Qiao's medical skills, his own grandson was inside, whom he treasured even more than himself, and he was afraid that something might go wrong.

Hou Diankui looked down on him. "Alright, you can wander around on the ground like that, but you don't know your own limitations? Try it with someone else, and they would have been injured in the middle of their internal energy and wouldn't be able to get up from the kang. Try it with someone else, do you think that's possible?"

So, calm down and wait patiently. If you can't sit still, hurry up and borrow a bath tub for your grandson. After the treatment, isn't he going to need a medicated bath? This will save me from having to walk around and give me a headache.”

Chu Laosan slapped his forehead, "Oh right, how could I forget about that? I need to hurry up and go find someone to borrow something."

Fortunately, Chu Laosan did not harm anyone in the village during this period, so it was really not difficult for him to go out and borrow things.

After Song Shutian finished his interrogation, he also inquired about the opinions of his superiors. After all, the third son of the Chu family and the descendants of the Chu family were here, so he knew a little about the situation of the Chu family.

Jiang Jinyu replied that he should keep an eye on this person for two days, take good care of him, and wait for his orders.

By evening, Jiang Qiao had completely cured Chu Jiabao of the poison. Without Chu Laosan even asking, Chu Jiabao could feel himself feeling relaxed and energetic.

"Grandpa, I feel so good now, I've never felt so good before. Look, I don't have a fever anymore, and I'm not coughing anymore."

The old man was worried, so he carefully inquired about his beloved grandson's feelings. Although he couldn't take a pulse, he could find someone to tell his fortune. So he took his grandson to Hou Diankui and asked him to cast a divination for his grandson.

"Hehe, don't worry, your grandson has already overcome this hurdle. He's not destined to die young; he'll live to at least eighty. You've turned misfortune into blessing."

Chu Laosan excitedly hugged Hou Diankui and punched him hard twice, then buried his face in Hou Diankui's shoulder and moved silently.

Hou Diankui sighed, hugged Chu Laosan and patted him, "Brother, this is a good thing, we should be happy. The child will be fine and safe in the future, and you can rest assured. Even if he really passes away one day, you can face your son and daughter-in-law."

Chu Laosan wiped away his tears and sighed deeply, "Brother, you don't know, because of my grandson's health, my son and daughter-in-law have always regretted not taking good care of the child. Who would have thought that in the end, these two children would not outlive this old man like me."

The reason I came here is because I saw that the other party was capable of researching medicine, so I thought of bringing my child here and agreed to help.

I never expected I'd help the wrong person. This whole mess almost made me think you were a bad guy.

Hou Diankui patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, we've become friends through a fight. Alright, let's sit down and talk things over. The kid's resting, right?"

Chu Laosan nodded. "The child is tired and has fallen asleep. I really should thank Jiang Qiao properly. She saved more than just our Chu family's grandson; he is the only bloodline of our third branch."

I know this girl didn't charge much; honestly, the medicinal herbs alone cost more than that. It's just that she's kind-hearted.

Chu Laosan was straightforward, but that didn't mean he was ignorant. When the medicine was being brewed, he went over to take a look and saw that there were dozens of kinds of medicinal herbs in it, not just ginseng and lingzhi. Jiang Qiao's child was missing a lot. If this were in the past, without a thousand pieces of gold, who would treat this kind of illness?

Hou Diankui's next words went straight to the point: "Brother, can I ask you one question? Do you have a clue who poisoned your son and daughter-in-law?"

Chu Laosan shook his head. "I haven't figured it out yet. Once I get out, I'll have someone investigate. I don't believe I can't find out. They attacked my son and grandson because they wanted to get what they wanted from me. What do I have? I guess they don't care about money. The only thing they care about is my skills."

Hou Diankui changed the subject and asked who Chu Laosan learned his skills from, since the Chu family wasn't exactly known for their expertise in this area.

Speaking of this, Chu Laosan was still puzzled. "Logically speaking, no one has ever been able to break the formation I set up. What's going on with you? Could it be that we are from the same lineage?"

Hou Diankui also had his doubts about this matter. "Looking at your formation, it seems somewhat similar to what I learned, but there are also some differences. I don't understand what's going on."

My master was just one person; I was his adopted child. And he's already passed away. He never told me anything about our sect. So, I want to know what your sect is all about, and whether we're from the same lineage.

When it comes to his sect, Chu Laosan had nothing to hide.

"Speaking of which, it can't really be considered a master-disciple relationship. I've never actually become an apprentice, and their family doesn't easily teach disciples."

The reason I was able to learn from them was because their family owed my father a huge favor back then. My dad thought I was impatient and wanted me to learn this to temper my temper, so he told them about it.

However, they said they don't accept apprentices, but they can teach me. How well I learn depends on my talent.

Actually, when they said I had no talent for this, I didn't believe them. I slowly digested what they taught me, and for what they didn't teach me, I found books to learn.

So, I got obsessed with it, and that's why I only have one son. Sigh, now that I think about it, what was the point of learning this? I would have been better off having more children..."
