"Xin Xin, what are you thinking about?" Lu Zheng asked, holding her hand as he noticed Gu Xin was lost in thought.
“Brother Yuanyuan, I’m thinking that when I get back, I need to read more medical books and learn more from Grandma Xiao. If we can find more herbs, identify more medicinal properties, and learn more knowledge, then next time something like a plague happens, won’t there be fewer casualties?” Gu Xin said.
There were outsiders present, so she didn't mention using jade beads.
But Lu Zheng understood it clearly.
He held Gu Xin's hand tightly and nodded: "You can definitely do it, I believe in you!"
Lu Zheng remembered that in the year Gu Xin died in his previous life, a county under Tongzhou was struck by an earthquake, followed by several days of continuous rain. That disaster caused just as much damage as the plague that Master Qian had mentioned.
Because of his appearance in this life, many things have changed. Some things will happen, just at different times, while others will not.
Lu Zheng was thinking that he should pay attention to that area in advance, so as to minimize the losses if possible.
If it hadn't been stopped in advance, the medicine made with the jade beads would have reduced the number of casualties even further.
Looking at the unwavering determination in the young couple's eyes, Mr. Qian, though he knew it would be difficult to concoct an effective medicine, was moved by their gaze and sincerely hoped they would succeed.
...
By evening, the man in white had not returned, nor had the constable Gao and his men.
After having a meal at the inn, Master Qian went back to rest.
Some guests who didn't want to watch the excitement have already left, but quite a few guests who wanted to watch the excitement have stayed behind.
Moreover, the news of Hu Qiangzi's dismemberment had already spread throughout Qi'an Town, and the people of Qi'an Town were all waiting here to see Liu the Butcher be caught and to hear Gu Xin interrogate Liu the Butcher.
However, they waited until dark but no one came, and even after the Qi'an Inn closed, no one returned. They all had no choice but to go back to rest.
"Looks like there's no result tonight!" Fatty Wang said slowly, sitting on the recliner behind the counter and fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.
"Not necessarily. I think Baiyi will definitely be able to find it. He brought that little cutie with him!" Gu En said, then smiled and glanced at Fatty Wang. "Hey, speaking of this, I'm reminded of Third Sister's haul this time."
"What did I gain? I don't know about it myself." Gu Xin was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu En strangely.
"It's Brother Wang and the little cutie who's currently trying to find the murderer!" Gu En pointed at Fatty Wang and said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, Gu Xiaosi, are you comparing your brother to a dog? You're getting more and more cheeky!" Fatty Wang sat up straight and glared at Gu En with his beady green eyes.
"No, no, no, how can this be compared?" Gu En waved his hands repeatedly and took a few steps back.
“That can’t be compared. At least Little Cutie can help Third Miss find things. Young Master Wang, you…” Du San Niang shook her head as she spoke.
Fatty Wang stood up immediately.
Gu En quickly retreated even further.
Du San Niang sat calmly on the stool behind the counter, fanning herself with her round fan: "What? Young Master Wang, do you think I've said anything wrong?"
Fatty Wang's expression changed instantly, and he said with a grin, "No, no, how could the landlady be wrong? The landlady is always right."
Everyone looked at Fatty Wang speechlessly; his behavior was truly...
I don't even want to talk about him anymore.
