"Are you back? How is it?" Lan Yu saw Xiao Hang standing at the door looking at Liuyun and Xiaofu. How could Lan Yu not envy Xiaofu? She had no parents, but she had Liuyun by her side. She was mentally retarded, but she could be happy all the time. Even though her time was running out, no one, whether her friends or her lover, had ever thought of giving up on her.
"Well, I got it, but I don't know if it's the prescription. We still need the blood of a poisoned person to verify the authenticity of the prescription. You remember it, I'll put it back immediately. If she finds out that the prescription is gone, it will be useless for us to steal it." Xiao Hang handed the prescription to Lan Yu. Lan Yu immediately looked at it and handed it back to Xiao Hang, "Put it back, I remember it all." Xiao Hang nodded and turned back to the pharmacy.
Liuyun had been staring at Jingxin closely. Seeing Jingxin let go of Xiaofu's hand, he hurriedly asked: "How is Sister Jingxin? Do you have any solutions? At least... at least she can stay with me for a while longer. We have been married for less than a month. At least, let me take her to more places." Lan Yu couldn't bear it and turned her head to wipe away her tears secretly.
Jingxin also wished she had the ability to turn things around, but she was a doctor, not a god. She could only heal illnesses, not cure deaths. Facing Liuyun's earnest gaze, she could only shake her head. "My diagnosis is the same as Lanyu's. I can only alleviate her pain, not keep her."
Xiaofu looked at everyone in the room and saw Liuyun crying. He stood up and held Liuyun's face with both hands, "Husband, I haven't felt pain for a long time. Don't worry, don't cry, okay? I feel bad when you cry." Liuyun taught Xiaofu the word 'husband' every day after they got married, until Xiaofu couldn't realize it and started calling Liuyun 'husband' whenever he saw her.
Liuyun covered her face tightly, wiped it clean, and then grinned at Xiaofu, "Well, my wife, your husband won't cry anymore, and he won't cry anymore in the future." Xiaofu saw Liuyun smile, and also smiled with his eyes narrowed.
When Xiao Hang returned, he stopped by the other people's courtyards and collected the blood of two people to facilitate the preparation of the antidote. Li Yunmeng's prescription listed the order and dosage of the seven-colored flowers, making it much easier to prepare the antidote directly according to this. The blood of a person infected with the seven-colored poison is blue. After detoxification, it will first turn pink and then turn red after an hour. This process cannot be skipped. If it turns red directly, it means the antidote is wrong and the person who takes it will die on the spot.
Jingxin's attainments in medicine and poisons are superior to those of Lan Yu and Ling Shu, not only because she is the oldest, but also because she is the most talented in medicine and poisons among the three of them.
Lan Yu had a very good memory. After writing down the prescription, Jingxin took the prescription and the blood that Xiao Hang had retrieved and entered the secret room. She had to hurry as fast as possible to avenge her master before she could bury him.
The next morning, Li Yunmeng arrived just after the Yin hour. "The person to be buried must be buried before sunrise, otherwise they will not rest in peace. I have brought the coffin bearers with me."
Lan Yu looked at the eight people behind Li Yunmeng, all of whom were young men of her generation. "Uncle-master, I haven't closed the coffin for Master yet. It's not a good idea to leave now, right?" She wanted to delay for time and wait for the result from her senior sister. It would take at least another hour for her senior sister to prepare the antidote to be confirmed. She knew that Master would not mind them burying her a day later. Although the weather in Medicine Valley was hot and humid, she and her senior sister had taken care of Master and would not let him decay. Therefore, Master would definitely wait for one more day, only this day, to either avenge her or go down to accompany her. She and her senior sister had already made up their minds.
Li Yunmeng just wanted to send Lan Yu away quickly. Although she had sent people out to look for Jingxin every day these days, there was no news at all. She knew Jingxin would not go far. The child looked cold, but she was very filial. She saw her master die in her hands with her own eyes, and she would definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge. So she must be somewhere in the Medicine Valley, but she just hadn't found her yet. Only when Lan Yu left could she prevent them from meeting and cut the grass at its roots.
"Then what do you think? It's okay to close the coffin now. It's no big deal, right? They can close the coffin right away. It won't take much time." Li Yunmeng would not give Lan Yu any excuse to shirk responsibility.
"But I haven't dug a grave for my master yet. There's no place to bury him." Lan Yu just remembered the most important thing: he hadn't dug a grave for his master.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I had someone dig it for my senior sister on the day she left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to remind you." Li Yunmeng looked at Lan Yu, trying to see what excuses she could come up with.
There was really no other way now, so he could only nod and say, "Thank you, uncle, and I'll leave it to you, brothers." After saying that, Lan Yu made way.
The coffin was covered and the body was taken away in one go. Lan Yu even suspected that they had practiced this several times. Lan Yu walked in front holding Yin Yunshu's coffin, and the eight people behind carried the coffin out of the courtyard where they had lived. This time, the master would never come back.
Outsiders are not allowed to watch the burial of relatives, so Xiao Hang and the others have never shown up, but just followed quietly from behind. Who knows whether Li Yunmeng will take action against Lan Yu?
Arriving at the cemetery, Lan Yu watched her master's coffin sink slowly, her nails practically digging into her flesh. Meanwhile, Li Yunmeng was waiting for someone. She knew she couldn't miss her master's burial; if she arrived, she'd have a way to have her buried alongside him. As for Lan Yu? Chu Ning had reminded her today. She'd been out for so long, so who could say for sure that Medicine Valley had murdered her? Who saw it? Who had proof? Her death would be in vain.
When they started to cover the coffin with soil, Jingxin arrived. Lan Yu and Li Yunmeng both smiled without the other noticing. They had their own plans, but they were waiting for the same person.
"You finally showed up? I thought you would wait a little longer, at least until you could kill me." Li Yunmeng saw Jingxin coming. She was not wrong. As long as Yin Yunshu was buried, Jingxin would definitely appear.
"Really? How do you know that I won't be able to kill you if I show up now?" The antidote has been prepared, and the people in Medicine Valley are no longer a bargaining chip to threaten them. So it's her revenge with Lan Yu and Li Yunmeng. Jingxin has already burned down that courtyard. Her master told her that the secret of Medicine Valley is a curse, so she shouldn't stay there anymore and told her to destroy it no matter what. She doesn't know what it is, and she's not interested. She just needs to obey her master's last wishes and burn down Medicine Valley clean.
