In March, the grass is green and the birds are singing.
Although the spring in Kyoto is not as warm as in the south, the temperature has risen. The roadside trees have sprouted some new branches, reflecting the tender green buds, showing a different kind of vitality.
However, Xie Xihe did not have time to experience the joy of being reborn.
On her phone was Mr. Xie's medical records that she had just retrieved from the hospital system. She scanned them quickly, her brows furrowing little by little.
The primary cerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertension had a large bleeding area. The hospital had removed most of the hematoma through surgery, but the intracranial pressure remained high.
We must find a way to stimulate the old man's own ability to absorb blood and reduce intracranial pressure in the shortest possible time.
If it were in her previous life, she would have had at least ten ways to cure the old man's illness, but now she had no medicine, no money, no tools, and time was running out.
Then we need to think carefully about how to treat it.
Looking up from her phone, Xie Xihe quickly scanned the shops on both sides of the street. Suddenly, her gaze fixed on an antique Chinese medicine shop.
Jingming Hall.
A pharmacy specializing in selling Chinese herbal medicines. The variety of Chinese herbal medicines included in it is even richer than that of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and there are many rare medicinal materials that can no longer be found outside.
Xie Xihe stared and thought for a moment, then suddenly walked towards Jingming Hall.
Five minutes later.
"Red peony root, earthworm, chicken blood vine, angelica..." Xie Xihe listed twenty-two herbs in one breath, paused, and continued, "Do you have green magnolia?"
The salesperson was first startled by Xie Xihe's appearance, and then shocked by her long list of medicinal herbs. She was stunned for a long time until Xie Xihe knocked on the counter and asked again, and then she suddenly came to her senses.
He immediately replied, "Green Magnolia, huh? Yes, we do have it, but it's a rare medicinal herb. We don't usually sell it here. But if you really need it, I can try to help you apply for it. See..."
Xie Xihe nodded: "Thank you for your help."
The salesperson repeatedly said it was okay, asked Xie Xihe to sit down in the lounge area in the lobby, and then left in a hurry.

The backyard of Jingming Hall.
In a small building isolated from the others, a man in a casual suit quickly went up to the second floor, pushed open a door and walked in. "Uncle, someone just reported downstairs that they want to buy green mango lotus."
The man sitting upright on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
The man had fair, cool skin, and beneath his slender brows lay a pair of dark eyes as deep as the sea. They were not noticeable when he had them closed before, but now that he opened them and looked at people, a sense of oppression suddenly came over him.
Sheng Yunzhou's breathing stopped.
Especially the next moment he frowned and said in a cold voice: "So?"
Sheng Yunzhou shivered for no reason, but then he came to his senses.
As he pulled a chair and sat in, he said slowly, "If it was just Amaranth, I wouldn't have come to you specifically, but the salesperson who came up said that in addition to Amaranth, the customer also asked for more than twenty kinds of medicine."
He leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Guess what?"
Sheng Shijing looked at him quietly.
Sheng Yunzhou shrank his neck, finally not daring to keep the secret any longer, and said, "Except for the green wood lotus, of the twenty-two medicinal herbs reported, sixteen overlap with the ingredients of the panacea we have analyzed so far. Although the remaining six are different, the pharmacists below have analyzed them and their medicinal properties are very similar."
I couldn't help but speak out my true feelings: "You said, this customer doesn't know the complete formula of the panacea, right? Is there a possibility..."
Sheng Yunzhou couldn't continue speaking halfway through.
He shook his head and laughed, "You're really desperate and trying anything you can think of. There hasn't been a new panacea on the market in eighteen years. How could there be someone in this world who can create one?"
A strange light flashed across Sheng Shijing's dark eyes. He stretched out his long legs and walked down from the bed: "You'll know if it's possible or not after you go and see him."
He said this and strode out.
Sheng Yunzhou hurriedly chased after him.

Xie Xihe waited for nearly fifteen minutes. When she was about to lose her patience, the door to the backyard, which had been tightly closed, finally opened again, and two figures walked out one after the other.
Xie Xihe directly passed by Sheng Yunzhou who was walking in front and his eyes fell on the man behind him.
The man had an upright posture, a pair of long, slender legs, and just stood there quietly, like the moon in the bright sky, emitting a light that could not be ignored.
Facing the light, Xie Xihe could clearly see his slender eyebrows, his overly long eyelashes, his high nose bridge, and his tightly pursed, light red thin lips.
Especially delicate and beautiful.
It was clearly a pure and extraordinary face, but when he raised his eyes, there was only a deep coldness.
Xie Xihe's heart skipped a beat and he came back to his senses in an instant, but he couldn't stop wondering.
Why does this person look familiar?
Before she could figure out what was going on, a shocking "Oh shit" interrupted Xie Xihe's thoughts.
Sheng Yunzhou looked Xie Xihe up and down, left and right, still not daring to believe it. He quickly walked closer to Xie Xihe to confirm, and finally fell on the sofa opposite, feeling indescribably disappointed and frustrated: "So it's you, Miss Xie."
He was wondering if a miracle doctor had come, but he didn't expect it to be Xie Xihe. If he had known it was her, he wouldn't have bothered with it!
He even called out his uncle...
Thinking of his uncle, Sheng Yunzhou's heart trembled. He immediately sat up straight and looked in the direction of Sheng Shijing.
As expected, Sheng Shijing was no longer there.
Sheng Yunzhou sighed deeply and muttered softly, "Even if I'm not interested, we're still family friends after all, so I should give him some respect..."
Just as I was complaining, a shadow suddenly appeared above my head, followed by a familiar man's deep voice: "Sit over here."
Sheng Yunzhou was stunned and didn't even move.
Then he was kicked away by Sheng Shijing.
Sheng Yunzhou sat on the ground, holding his butt, and couldn't understand why his uncle came here.
And that’s not all.
After Sheng Shijing took the sofa where Sheng Yunzhou had been sitting, he raised his eyes and looked towards Xie Xihe. An inexplicable emotion flashed in his dark eyes: "Xie's aunt?"
Xie Xihe responded subconsciously and came to his senses.
His eyes flicked back and forth between Sheng Yunzhou and Sheng Shijing, and he finally remembered the other person's identity: "Uncle of the Sheng family?"
Sheng Shijing: “…It’s me.”
