Chapter 128 Qin Chi's Changes

Song Jin smelled the chicken leg, put it in his mouth and tore off a piece of meat, "When did you come back?"

"Just got back."

Qin Chi answered while eating roast chicken, "I haven't eaten for most of the day. This roast chicken is my life-saving food."

When Song Jin heard what he said, he secretly looked at him and found that his clothes were wrinkled. He really looked exhausted. "Can you bear it?"

Qin Chi sat leaning against Song Jin.

Hearing her words, half of my weight pressed towards her, "I feel a little sleepy and want to sleep."

Song Jin vaguely felt that Qin Chi was a little different.

Before he went to study, he was a very well-behaved person, but after coming back he seemed a little frivolous, although his behavior was very natural and his expression was open.

These changes made Song Jin feel a little uncomfortable. In order to cover up this discomfort, he blurted out, "Does my husband know that my uncle might be seriously ill?"

Qin Chi's body stiffened slightly, and then he recovered after a moment. "I rushed back just because I received the news. Before that, I went to see my uncle. The imperial physician said that if we can find the aconite prepared by Mr. Liu in Nancheng, there may be a glimmer of hope. It's a pity that something happened to Mr. Liu's family two years ago, and he is nowhere to be found."

No matter how good the prescription is, it is useless without the right medicine.

What Helian Pu lacked was not a prescription for curing the disease.

But it is the medicine that can cure him.

Song Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and his mind was in a turmoil.

The old man who taught her how to prepare medicinal materials in her previous life was named Liu.

Is it related to Liu Weng mentioned by Qin Chi?

Qin Chi stayed with Song Jin afterwards. He was half leaning on her to rest at first, but later he simply stretched out his arms to hold her in front of him, resting his head on her shoulder and took a nap.

Song Jin didn't push him away.

She was very calm when he held her in his arms, which did not affect her from adding bran to the stove every once in a while.

A pharmacy is different from other factories. There are people busy at night as well. For example, some processes of preparing medicinal materials cannot be interrupted, such as steaming and frying.

So this is the situation of Song Jin and Qin Chi in the drying yard.

It’s not that no one saw it.

But when she found out that the man was her employer's husband, she started to pretend to be deaf, dumb and blind.

The sky gradually brightened.

The rice husks surrounding the stove on the ground were still burning, but the husk ashes had piled up very high.

When Yin Long hurried over, he was surprised to see the scene in front of him, "Young lady, I'm here to replace you."

Song Jin nodded slightly stiffly.

Not sure if he heard Yin Long's words, Qin Chi woke up and slowly loosened his arms, "Is it dawn?"

"Yes, my husband finally woke up."

Song Jin had a tired look on his face, and he rubbed his legs gently to get rid of the numbness.

It feels really painful, and I can't stand up for a while anyway.

Suddenly, her whole body rose up.

Qin Chi bent down and picked her up. After weighing her for a moment, he said to Yin Long, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take your boss back to rest."

Song Jin was originally in shock.

When she saw Qin Chi was about to carry her away, the ripples of excitement that had just arisen in her heart disappeared immediately, and she hurriedly told him what to do next, "Auntie Long, you have to put out the fire before noon. I will come to get it when the chaff is burned and the ashes are cold."

"Yes, young lady."

Yinlong responded with a gentle smile.

Mrs. Li was feeding her two children goat milk.

Boss Qin was holding a bowl of milk at the side, and his expression was as gentle as could be.

When the two saw Qin Chi carrying Song Jin back, they just glanced at him and said nothing.

Qin Chi carried the person back into the house.

Song Jin said embarrassedly: "Now that I'm back, you can put me down now."

"Are your legs still numb?" Qin Chi asked with a smile.

Song Jin wanted to answer, but found that he was very close to her, and her breathing suddenly quickened.

"No, it's not numb anymore..."

"Oh!"

Qin Chi put the person on the edge of the bed.

Song Jin stood up suddenly and moved a few steps away from Qin Chi, but soon realized that this behavior was wrong, so he pretended to turn around and took the washbasin and toothbrush to go outside to get water for washing.

There are no Qin Chi’s clothes in this room.

But that didn't stop him from asking the secret guards to send it over.

After Song Jin lingered outside for a long time, he returned to his room.

Qin Chi had already changed into a clean set of clothes and saw Song Jin still standing in front of the washbasin rack.

"Aren't you tired, ma'am?"

"Fortunately, I woke up after washing my face."

Song Jin put down his rolled-up sleeves and walked to the bed. "Rest if you are sleepy. This is the room where I usually sleep. I will go check on the child first."

After saying this she turned around.

Qin Chi suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her towards him, put his arms around her and they both fell onto the bed. Then he held her in his arms to prevent her from getting up.

"The child is taken care of by his parents. The most important thing for the lady to do now is to sleep."

Qin Chi held her down and forced her to sleep.

Seeing that Song Jin didn't close her eyes, Qin Chi covered her eyes with his big hands. "It is said that a short absence is better than a new marriage. Why do I feel that my wife has become more distant to me?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin disagrees with this statement.

It wasn't that she felt unfamiliar, but she noticed that Qin Chi had changed a lot after being away for half a year.

It seems like there is something more.

Song Jin leaned quietly in his arms, but could smell a faint smell of blood. His behavior was obviously not out of the ordinary. After all, they were husband and wife, and they had done outrageous things behind closed doors. But today, there was always an invisible sense of oppression around him.

Qin Chi waited until she closed her eyes, then he held her in his arms and gently stroked her back as if to comfort her.

Under his comfort, the person really relaxed and gradually fell asleep.

Qin Chi also understood at this time.

During the time I was away from home, I saw blood every now and then. The momentum that had accumulated since I hurried back has not yet been completely contained. I just need to adjust my mentality and things will be fine.

But he didn't expect Song Jin to be so perceptive.

When Song Jin woke up again, Qin Chi was no longer by his side.

Looking out the window, it was already past noon.

Song Jin ate something simple and then hurried to the drying yard.

I saw Yinlong actually guarding there.

Yin Long stood up immediately and said, "Young lady, the chaff has become cold."

Song Jin stretched out his hand and tried, "It can be taken out."

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, pushed aside the pile of chaff and ash, revealing the bricks surrounding the stove. They then removed the bricks and carefully pushed aside the chaff and ash, picked up the stewed aconites underneath one by one, and then used the small end of the aconite to knock on the big end.

Under continuous high temperature, cavities will appear inside the aconite.

If a hollow sound is heard when knocking, it means that most of the toxicity of the aconite has disappeared.

However, this is not enough.

Yinlong went to get a diabolo sieve that was drying in the sun.

Song Jin put the aconite taken out of the fire on a bamboo sieve, and then manually sifted out the chaff ash on the aconite.

After drying for a day.

Then put it into a wooden steamer, place it in a water pot, and steam it for seven hours continuously to slowly evaporate the remaining toxicity of the aconite.

When steaming, the water in the big pot will often dry up, so be sure to add water to the pot.

Wait until the pot is removed.

Song Jin cut the aconite into thin slices himself.

Then place the pieces one by one on a clean bamboo sieve to dry.

The finished slices of aconite are light yellow, a very light yellow, or even white. When the slices are placed in the sun, they have a sense of transparency.

The subsequent preparations were all done by Song Jin alone.

Every time Qin Chi came to see Song Jin, he only saw her busy figure.

When seeing the finished product, Qin Chi couldn't hide his excitement.

"This is exactly as the imperial physician described. I'll arrange for someone to send it over right away!"

Qin Chi couldn't wait to ask Song Jin to pack the aconite.

Song Jin really wanted to say that he needed to dry it a little more.

Drying is more convenient for storage.

Then he remembered that he needed it urgently over there, so he put the aconite in a can and handed it to Qin Chi.

Qin Chi hurried away holding the jar of aconite.
