Ye Jingchi's method is good. Zhou Qi only needs to climb up the tree, hang on the branch, and pull Ye Jingchi to retrieve the strong grass.
Both of them are very tall, almost four meters tall combined, more than enough to cover a small blade of grass.
After weighing the options, Shi Bai and Li Ying did not reject the proposal.
"Ye Jingchi, when you're picking herbs, be sure to pinch them at the root. I want the whole plant."
"rest assured!"
Ye Jingchi often has these kinds of upside-down tasks in his training, so it's not difficult for him at all.
When Ye Jingchi's fingers touched the strong grass, a small blade of grass bit his wrist, sending a tingling sensation through it. Ye Jingchi didn't care, picked the grass, and was pulled back by Zhou Qi. With a graceful flip, Ye Jingchi landed steadily on the ground.
Zhou Qi also climbed down from the tree.
Li Ying looked at the sturdy grass in Ye Jingchi's hand and smiled slightly.
"Now there's hope for Junior Brother's wrist."
After the four of them returned home, Li Ying went to the pharmacy to develop a formula for the herb.
Since returning, Ye Jingchi had been feeling chills all over his body. When he washed his hands, he noticed a blue vein on his wrist that looked like a snake.
What's going on?
Ye Jingchi didn't want to bother Li Ying, so he didn't tell her that he wanted to ask Shi Bai to take a look at him.
"This is..." Shi Bai stared in disbelief at the snake-like thing clinging to Ye Jingchi's wrist.
This is a type of poisonous plant called "green thorn" mentioned in ancient books. Once poisoned, there is no cure, and one can only slowly wait for death.
Ye Jingchi noticed the unusual nature of the poison on Shi Bai's wrist from the fear in his eyes and asked, "Is it troublesome?"
Shi Bai gasped, staring intently at the menacing blue veins, and said to Ye Jingchi, "To be honest, this is a kind of extinct poisonous plant. Once bitten, it is very difficult to cure."
After hearing this, Ye Jingchi remained silent for a moment: "Incurable?"
Shi Bai sighed: "Even if my master came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to cure this poison."
An incurable poison!
Ye Jingchi smiled bitterly. Perhaps this was the fate between him and Li Ying—shallow and painful.
"How long can I live?"
Shi Bai didn't know how to say: "I only heard my master mention that those with good physical condition should be able to last five or six months, while those with poor physical condition will only last three months at most."
Ye Jingchi grabbed Shi Bai's hand: "Can you hold on for me a little longer, until Yingying gives birth?"
If this medicine is ineffective, he must hold on until Li Ying gives birth; he must witness the birth of his child with his own eyes.
Shi Bai thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll look through that ancient book these next couple of days to see if I can find a way to sustain your life. I'll try my best to make you last longer."
Ye Jingchi nodded, then, remembering something, said, "Second Senior Brother, please don't tell Yingying about this. She's busy with your Junior Brother's affairs right now, and I don't want to distract her."
Shi Bai's impression of Ye Jingchi improved even more.
"Okay! I promise you!"
Li Ying quickly developed a medicine to treat bone and muscle injuries and excitedly rushed to Shi Bai: "Second Senior Brother, I did it! I did it!"
"Really? That's great!" Shi Bai was very happy.
Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "We'll go back to the capital tomorrow!"
Ye Jingchi glanced at Shi Bai, about to say something, but Shi Bai spoke first: "Junior Sister, may I go back to the capital with you?"
Li Ying was overjoyed and stepped forward to take Shi Bai's hand: "Second Senior Brother, have you thought it through? You want to come back to the capital with me?"
Shi Bai nodded: "There's nothing or no one here that I'm attached to. I'll go back to the capital with you!"
Li Ying, thinking that Aunt Hong's 49th day memorial service was approaching, said, "Aren't you going to wait for Aunt Hong's 49th day memorial service?"
Shi Bai shook his head: "I will come back to offer incense to her on the 49th day after her death. I believe she will not blame me."
Li Ying wanted to visit Aunt Hong's grave, but Shi Bai refused. Although he was a doctor, he believed that it was best not to do certain things, as it was not a good idea for a pregnant woman to visit a grave.
Shi Bai sat down in front of Aunt Hong's grave, bringing Aunt Hong's favorite pastries.
"Mother, I'm going to the capital with my junior sister, so I won't be able to visit you for a while. I'll come back to pay my respects at your grave after everything is settled."
Shi Bai spoke for a while before standing up, and inadvertently noticed a person hiding behind a tree in the distance.
By the time he looked over, the person had turned and run away.
"Passing on the seedlings..."
Shi Bai murmured.
The girl who ran away looked just like Chuan Miao. She was wearing local clothing, and the purse hanging from her waist was exactly the same as Chuan Miao's. Shi Bai chased after her, but saw nothing.
"Was it my judgment that was wrong?"
Shi Bai didn't pay much attention and went home to pack his things.
Li Ying and the others had finished packing up. Hua Qingqing still had many scenes to film and needed some time to complete, so she didn't go back with the others.
The journey was peaceful. Upon returning to the capital, Ye Jingchi went back to his unit to report for duty, while Shi Bai stayed with Li Ying in a courtyard house.
“This is…” Shi Bai asked, seeing Jing Yingyan sunbathing in the courtyard.
"Second Senior Brother, this is my patient, Jing Yingyan, he injured his leg," Li Ying explained simply.
Jing Yingyan raised his head, his deep eyes cold and aloof. He simply nodded slightly to Shi Bai without saying anything.
Shi Bai carefully observed Jing Yingyan and said, "He does look somewhat similar to Ye Jingchi."
Li Ying, who was about to return to her room, stopped and turned to look at Jing Yingyan.
When Li Ying first met Jing Yingyan, she felt a sense of familiarity. After her second senior brother mentioned it, and looking at Jing Yingyan again, she realized that he and Ye Jingchi did indeed have some similarities.
Jing Yingyan caught Li Ying's scrutinizing gaze and curled his lips into a smile: "What, it's only been a few days, Miss Yingying, don't you recognize me?"
Li Ying coughed awkwardly, pushed open the door, and went into the house.
Zhou Qi led Shi Bai to the next room.
"Dr. Shi, you'll stay in this room. We're next to each other. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Shi Bai grabbed Zhou Qi's arm: "Junior Sister and Ye Jingchi are husband and wife, why don't they live together?"
Zhou Qi chuckled: "Dr. Shi, you don't know, do you? I'm not entirely sure either, but Miss Ying and Commander Ye have divorced."
"What?"
Shi Bai was shocked: "Divorced? But I saw that Commander Ye treated Yingying very well!"
“Yes, Dr. Lu’s hand was broken, and Commander Ye found the mastermind behind it all. He’s willing to ruin his career to get revenge, but I don’t understand why they divorced.” Zhou Qi didn’t understand these kinds of love stories.
Shi Bai felt lost when he thought of the poison on Ye Jingchi's wrist. If he told his junior sister, she would definitely be upset, and might even remarry Ye Jingchi.
Well, since they're divorced, it means Junior Sister didn't have any feelings for Ye Jingchi. That's fine too. Even if she finds out Ye Jingchi is dead in the future, she won't be too sad. With that in mind, Shi Bai decided to keep this secret for Ye Jingchi.
