"Of course it's poison!" Su Ruyi leaned closer to Xia Dong, stretched out a hand, and gripped his chin tightly.
As someone in a position of power, Xia Dong had never been treated in such a humiliating way.
However, the humiliation was secondary; at that moment, he felt as if his jaw was about to be crushed: "Am I...are we going to die?"
"This is a slow-acting poison; it won't take effect for about three months," Su Ruyi said with a grin. "Do you really think my master only taught me how to cure diseases and save lives? Please, my master is a man who has weathered many storms in this chaotic world! Without some skills, how could he have survived to the end of his life?"
This medicine is indeed poison. It's a prescription from Su Ruyi's medical book on fighting poison with poison. It's perfect for treating boils and carbuncles.
However, in healthy individuals... after three months, the toxicity kicks in, causing their skin to crack.
Of course, Su Ruyi had no intention of letting Xia Dong live for another three months.
But now is not the time to deal with him; she needs to stabilize the situation at home first.
"I don't believe it... What kind of poison takes three months to take effect?" Xia Dong was already sweating profusely with nervousness.
"You don't believe me? Then I'll accelerate the effects of the medicine, and you can feel it." Su Ruyi glanced at his right hand. "Does your hand hurt?"
Xia Dong suddenly felt as if many needles were pricking his hands, and he jumped up in pain.
He gripped his right hand with his left, his expression one of intense pain: "It hurts so much! I...I believe you!"
Actually, Su Ruyi released many needles from her spatial storage, which pricked his hand before he quickly withdrew them.
"You...you are a demonic healer!" Xia Dong's face turned deathly pale.
"You're right, your family is really unlucky to have messed with me. Remember, I'll be waiting for you in Dingjiatun in three months." After saying that, Su Ruyi turned and walked away.
...
Three days later, it was time for Jin Xingqiu to move to Dingjiatun.
Early in the morning, Su Ruyi cleaned the entire courtyard inside and out.
Shen Heping, Ji Xuchang, and Li Wang helped clean up all the roof tiles and replaced all the broken tiles that were suspected of leaking.
After Su Ruyi and his second uncle were taken away, Shen Heping was so anxious that he developed large blisters around his mouth, which still haven't healed.
But there was nothing he could do; his only support was his second uncle.
His second uncle was also his source of all information.
When Li Wang and Su Ruyi were taken away together, Shen Heping even regretted not being the one who shared a room with Su Yin.
Su Ruyi and her second uncle were released at almost the same time.
Upon learning that both of them were alright, Shen Heping was so happy that he kept grinning while working, but because of the large blisters that were in so much pain, his expression was rather distorted.
Li Wang did not tell Shen Heping what happened after they were taken away.
This person is truly tight-lipped.
Zhong Misu came several times, but Su Ruyi never let him into the courtyard.
After tidying up the room, Shen Heping took Ji Xuchang and rode his bicycle to Sanhe County.
Tonight, Su Ruyi is hosting a dinner party in the courtyard to celebrate Jin Xingqiu moving in.
After everyone left, Li Wang asked, "Where's the old man? Did he go to that Huichuntang pharmacy?"
Su Ruyi pursed her lips and nodded: "I'm going. I'll probably be staying there for a while."
In fact, Su Qiushi refused to come out of the space.
The entire study in the room was a treasure trove that he could never exhaust!
These days, he has already finished studying the first book in his spare time.
He then discovered that the second book could be opened!
Su Qiushi was unaware that this was a benefit brought about by his blood relationship with the owner of the space.
He was overjoyed, only regretting that he was too old and probably wouldn't be able to finish studying all the medical books in his lifetime.
Therefore, when Su Ruyi came in last night to tell him about the banquet tomorrow, he hesitated for a moment before revealing his plan: "Ruyi, if there's nothing else, I'll stay at Huichun Hall and not go out!"
"Huh?!" Su Ruyi was stunned. "Why?"
“The outside world is full of demons and monsters, but this is the true paradise.” Su Qiushi munched on a soft peach. “The paradise that the ancients sought their whole lives has been found by me. What reason do I have to go out and deal with all those shady characters?”
"Besides, with your aunt here, I can leave everything to her, and I'll be even happier to have some free time!" Su Qiushi said slyly. "Every minute of my time is precious now! I have to use it to study hard!"
"..." Su Ruyi thought about it and realized that Su Qiushi's words made some sense.
If you were his age, and your children had all passed away before you, you might indeed have thoughts of retiring when you feel disheartened.
However, she didn't know if this would actually be good for her grandfather's mental health.
Seeing Su Qiushi's eager eyes, Su Ruyi could only nod: "Then Grandpa, call me anytime if you need anything, I can sense it."
"Alright, alright, I know! Go on and get back to your work!" After finishing the peach, Su Qiushi washed her hands and hurried back to her study on the second floor.
Su Ruyi stood there, shaking her head and sighing.
After the old man moved into Huichuntang, he took care of the fields in the backyard and planted all the seeds that Su Ruyi hadn't planted.
When he's in a good mood, the old man will cook for the entire day.
The shelf against the wall in the kitchen is now filled with steaming hot food.
This space is now filled with the warmth of home.
However, Su Ruyi felt a pang of pain in her heart whenever she thought of Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao's push caused Xia Tianlu's bullet to deflect, and almost exhausted his energy as well.
These days, Su Ruyi calls out to Xiao Yao in her social media space every day, but she has not received any response.
When she dreams, she often dreams about things from her previous five lives, some unforgettable events.
Her memories and perceptions of Xiao Yao became clearer.
Although Xiao Yao didn't respond to her, she could feel that he had been with her the moment she entered the space.
She only regretted that Zhong Misu had usurped her place, but she also vaguely understood that in this life, she would inevitably have to overcome a tribulation of love.
In moments of despair, she even considered whether killing Zhong Misu would break the cycle of her love tribulation.
As Su Ruyi was thinking this, she left the space and saw Zhong Misu's face again.
Leaning on his cane, he leaned against the wall, revealing a somewhat timid smile.
Li Wang actually let him in!
Zhong Misu, carrying snacks and candies in her left hand and a heavy net bag of canned goods in her right, moved over with difficulty: "I heard you're hosting a dinner party tonight, so I bought some things that you might find useful."
"I don't need it, you can take it." Su Ruyi said coldly.
“If you don’t need it, just… throw it away.” Zhong Misu placed the item on the stone table in the courtyard.
