Chapter 156: Lantern Festival
In his already wavering situation, with the added temptation of conditions, Old Man Yan finally gave in. "Miss Ji, I can try, but I may not succeed."
Hearing this, Ji Zhisui, who had been waiting nervously, finally lit up his eyes. As long as he could be cured, there was still hope. Moreover, with his own spiritual spring water, the chances of success would be greatly increased.
That night, Ji Zhisui told Pei Yian about this matter.
Pei Yian didn't expect that the other party would send him such a surprise. His eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions including astonishment, joy, and happiness.
After hitting a wall with old man Yan last time, he had wanted to attack the other party's weakness.
But this guy has no children, only an apprentice and a servant, and he is not short of money. He doesn't seem to have any weaknesses.
His only two hobbies are eating and growing medicinal herbs. He was worried about this, and Sui Niang actually helped him convince her.
"Sui Niang, I..." Pei Yian obviously had a lot to say, but the moment she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
I don’t know whether I wanted to express gratitude or something else, but I just felt a pair of warm hands caressing my heart, and wherever they passed, the barren land was slowly dyed with vibrant green.
These changes are all because of the people in front of me.
When Ji Zhisui looked at the people around her, she always felt that there was a deep meaning in their eyes that she could not understand. The gaze was a little burning, and she looked away awkwardly and unnaturally.
Pei Yian noticed this and lowered his eyes, hiding his complicated emotions and controlling his emotions. "Sui Niang, can you go with me to enjoy the lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Ah!" Ji Zhisui didn't expect the topic to jump so quickly and suddenly turned to this point. He was a little confused for a moment and didn't give a timely answer.
Watching lanterns...it seems that there is indeed such a custom and activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Is it okay?" If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in the ending tone of the sentence.
She raised her eyes and met Pei Yian's handsome face. His phoenix eyes were full of expectation, which made Ji Zhisui unable to say no.
After thinking about it, I thought there shouldn't be anything to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's not impossible to go out and enjoy the lanterns, so I nodded.
Seeing her nod in agreement, Pei Yian's restless and wildly beating heart slowly calmed down, and a little sweat appeared on his palms. He was afraid that he would get the same rejection answer as Song Yujin.
Seeing the two people still talking, Old Man Yan called out to them, "What are you two doing standing there? Come here quickly. I want to take Master Pei's pulse."
"Okay." Pei Yian agreed, took Ji Zhisui's hand and walked towards where Old Man Yan was.
Ji Zhisui was momentarily stunned by the unfamiliar touch on his wrist. And then there was Old Man Yan's previous address, husband and wife... they weren't...
The tips of her ears turned slightly red, and her hands were struggling slightly, trying to get out of someone's arms.
But the other party seemed unaware of it, and even misunderstood her meaning. The big hands that were originally just on her wrists moved down and directly wrapped around her small hands.
The broad, slightly calloused, unique body temperature of a man seemed to want to be transmitted from his hands to his heart. This made Ji Zhisui dare not struggle anymore. He let the man move and followed his steps to come in front of Old Man Yan.
After taking the patient's pulse again, Old Man Yan's eyebrows raised slightly. It was beyond his expectation again. Although the patient was clearly poisoned, his condition was better than last time.
He couldn't help but wonder again: "Master Pei, you really haven't used any medicinal herbs or practiced any exercises recently?"
"No." Pei Yian shook his head.
This answer made Old Man Yan start to think seriously, but he really couldn't figure out the reason. It was too abnormal and too bizarre.
"Uncle, how is Ang's health?" She now has a pool of spiritual spring water. From time to time, she adds some when cooking soup and pouring water, hoping that this spiritual spring water can be of great use to the toxins in Ang's body.
"Good, very good. He is in excellent health now. We just need to remove the toxins from his body."
Although the current situation seems normal, no one can guarantee that the toxins that have temporarily solidified in the body will not run around everywhere, and Pei Yian's body may suffer a backlash.
The only solution now is to expel the toxins from his body. The Five Poison Powder will be temporarily solidified, which will be of great benefit in expelling the toxins and will increase the chances of success.
Hearing this, Ji Zhisui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the spiritual spring water had worked.
"Mr. Pei, I want to tell you that I want to expel this Five Poison Powder from your body, but in the process, you have to endure the pain as if all your meridians are broken." Old man Yan took the lead in giving a preventive shot. Expelling the toxins will not be completed in one day.
"I can bear it." After being poisoned, Pei Yian suffered no less pain, even though he knew that using too much force would cause severe pain all over his body.
But he is the only young and strong man left in the family with the elderly, women and children. How can he not contribute?
During his exile, he suffered from severe pain all over his body almost every day.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare the herbs for you."
Before leaving, Old Man Yan couldn't help but say, "Mr. Pei, you are really lucky." After that, he glanced in the direction of his stepfather Ji Zhisui, and then turned and left with his apprentice and the child.
Pei Yian knew what he wanted to express. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was really lucky to have met Sui Niang.
When Song Yujin learned that the master was going to treat Pei Yian, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Master, didn't you say you didn't want to get involved in this matter?"
"I've changed my mind. Besides, I don't want Miss Ji to resent me and not cook for me."
Old man Yan's appetite has become very picky recently, and he doesn't enjoy eating anything else.
If something really happened to Mr. Pei, he would never be able to eat at Baiwei Restaurant again, and he would have nowhere to cry.
Life is short, so other worries and troubles can be dealt with later. This way, he can feel at ease and help an old friend.
When Mr. Sun came again, he brought a lot of crabs and shrimps. Looking at the baskets full of crabs, Ji Zhisui smiled happily and bought them.
This time I can cook a delicious meal for the diners, and also send some to the ladies I am close to.
Today, diners who came to Baiwei Restaurant were immersed in happiness again. They happily ate this random dish called Pan-fried Crab.
When it was served, they immediately knew from the aroma that this was the new dish that Miss Ji had researched yesterday.
Everyone couldn't help but start eating, but there were only six crabs cut in half on a plate.
It was all finished very easily, and everyone was licking their fingers with satisfaction. Unfortunately, each table was limited to one plate, so there was no more.
