They all looked outside to see Xiao Zhang walk in, but instead of going inside, he went to the toilet.
Lu Zhixia thought about how much spicy hot pot he had eaten and figured his stomach couldn't handle it, so she asked her grandfather...
"Do you have these medications? Or herbal remedies for diarrhea?"
"I have some homemade antidiarrheal pills on me. Should I give them to the kid outside?"
"Yes, that's what we gave him. He probably ate too much spicy hot pot, which caused his stomach upset and upset stomach."
"Then give him one pill. He can't take too much of this medicine, or he won't be able to poop." Old Master Bai took out a small white medicine bottle from the cabinet, opened it, and poured out a black pill. "I'm getting old, so I always keep some pills with me."
Lu Zhixia took the pill and handed it to Gu Lingxiao.
"Take this to him, and also pour him some water."
Gu Lingxiao took the pills and then poured himself a glass of water.
Before he could even leave, Xiao Zhang came in. He was pale and unsteady on his feet, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
"Captain! I feel like I can't drive anymore, my stomach is killing me with diarrhea. I should have known better than to eat so much," Xiao Zhang said pitifully. "It's so late at night, this is really going to kill me!"
Gu Lingxiao stretched out his hand, revealing a black pill in the center of his palm.
"Eat up! It'll be ready in a bit."
"Is this antidiarrheal medicine?" Xiao Zhang immediately perked up. Thinking of the old doctor next to him, he guessed that the doctor had made the medicine. Without asking any questions, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.
A bitter taste instantly spread across the tip of his tongue, making him want to vomit but afraid to.
The moment Gu Lingxiao handed him the cup, he didn't have time to say anything, so he picked up the cup and drank the water.
The bitter taste in his mouth vanished instantly, and only then did he begin to speak.
"These pills are really bitter, even more bitter than the gallbladder inside a fish's belly."
Old Master Bai came over to take his pulse to confirm his suspicions, and then said...
"Your spleen and stomach are rather weak, so you must avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods in the future. Good medicine tastes bitter, so please be more careful next time!"
Xiao Zhang's face instantly fell. He was unhappy that he wasn't allowed to eat spicy food, but he couldn't stand being pulled like this either, so he asked weakly,
"So, after taking the medicine, I won't have diarrhea anymore?"
"Yes, it won't happen again."
"That's good!"
"Just think of it as emptying your bowels; don't worry too much."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Xiao Zhang said respectfully. "I promise I won't be so greedy in the future."
Lu Zhixia thought about driving back later, and seeing that he seemed to have little strength, she asked him...
"Can you still drive?"
Xiao Zhang rubbed his stomach. "As long as it doesn't hurt, I should be fine. I can still drive!"
“I’ll drive,” Gu Lingxiao said decisively.
"Captain, you just had acupuncture on your arm, can you drive?" Xiao Zhang asked doubtfully.
"My right hand is injured, not my left." Gu Lingxiao tapped his head with his hat and then put it on. "Let's go! It's getting late, let's go back!" Turning to Grandpa Bai, he said, "I'll come back tomorrow!"
"Drive carefully on the road. If you really can't make it, pull over and stop for a while. The boy's stomach will be fine in a bit," Grandpa Bai instructed worriedly.
Gu Lingxiao nodded to indicate that he understood, and that he would not force himself to drive recklessly; he only said so because he was confident.
After they left, Lu Zhixia spoke to her grandfather.
"Don't cause any trouble in the future. There's no future for me and him."
"Why is it impossible?" Grandpa Bai pressed.
"Anyway, don't mess around." Lu Zhixia didn't want them to overthink things, and she was also afraid they would overhear her. "I'll come make dumplings tomorrow. I'm leaving now."
Grandpa Bai passed away before he could say what he wanted to say.
He stroked his beard and stood there for a while before he figured out what was going on.
This girl must have misunderstood that Gu Lingxiao already has a family.
That's interesting.
However, judging from her hesitant manner, it didn't seem like she disliked it.
——
Lu Zhixia hurriedly went out to meet them, while Xiao Zhang walked ahead with a flashlight, and the others followed behind, keeping a certain distance.
They quickly walked out of the alley and got into the car, but this time Xiao Zhang didn't drive; instead, Gu Lingxiao took charge of driving.
Xiao Zhang sat properly, and Captain Gu treated Comrade Lu differently.
If she becomes Lu Zhixia's wife, she can't be someone who speaks carelessly.
Lu Zhixia saw that Xiao Zhang was sitting properly, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and he looked a little nervous.
"Is your stomach still upset?"
"No, thank you."
"Then why are you so nervous? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"
"No, it's probably just that I'm too hot." Xiao Zhang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, afraid that he might accidentally let something slip.
"Drink plenty of water when you get back, and remember to drink warm water. Dehydration is the worst thing about diarrhea," Lu Zhixia instructed.
Xiao Zhang nodded to indicate that he understood. He suddenly felt a chill in the air and couldn't help but look ahead.
The car stopped, and Gu Lingxiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but they didn't see it.
Lu Zhixia then realized they had arrived at their destination and quickly got out of the car. It was a little later than yesterday, and the surroundings were pitch black.
Luckily, I brought a flashlight with me today, so I took it out of my pocket.
Gu Lingxiao opened the car door and got out. He saw Lu Zhixia had turned on her flashlight, so he hurriedly went over and said...
"I'll take you up."
"No need," Lu Zhixia refused, thinking that going upstairs by flashlight shouldn't be a big deal.
