Watching Ding Sanshun wipe his tears and run away, Zhao Wu snorted coldly: "You are so kind, why do you care about them?"
"After all, Doctor Bai has fallen from the imperial palace to the common people. His insights and knowledge can only make some contribution to ordinary people at this time. It should not be wasted. This is a blessing for ordinary people."
Wang Yi came from the modern era and was well aware of the class control in this era, including that of some modern small countries. If Doctor Bai could regroup and treat illnesses well, many ordinary people would survive because of this.
It is better for the people than being locked up in the palace.
Modern Chinese education has made her deeply understand this.
"Your thinking is really different from that of ordinary women." Zhao Wu lowered his head slightly and looked directly into Wang Yi's eyes, amazed at her insight and forgiveness.
"Don't interrupt. Let me see what you have."
"Here."
Zhao Wu first called another blacksmith apprentice to take over Ding Sanshun's work, and then led Wang Yi into the shop.
If Ding Sanshun runs away like this, he will forget about getting his salary this month.
Zhao Wu's shopkeeper was also an elderly man. He squinted his eyes at Wang Yi, greeted him, and continued fiddling with his abacus.
Coming to the back room, the walls were covered with forged ironware, all brand new, glowing with a metallic blue luster.
Silly Sister stuck it to the wall and could hardly tear it off. She stared at the wall of kitchen knives, sickles, and daggers, staring at it in a daze. This girl has a high combat power and is particularly fond of weapons. No matter what weapon she can tinker with, she can play with it very well. When she got to the blacksmith shop, she couldn't even keep up.
Lan Miao carefully avoided the iron tools under her feet, and even got goose bumps when she looked at the blades. She felt that the whole room was cold.
Zhao Wu opened a square bamboo box and took out a small package from it. When he opened the package, he found a small sleeve crossbow inside.
"I've modified the crossbow's firing method so it can be loaded with a rope for catapult launch. But since you said you don't want me to install the rope, I'll leave it empty."
Zhao Wu handed it to Wang Yi like he was presenting a treasure. Wang Yi took it and felt that it was heavy and had a special texture.
"This isn't just any iron. What kind of metal is this?"
"I didn't make it, but it's made of a secret alloy. It's rustproof, corrosion-resistant, and rainproof. Feel free to use it." Zhao Wu had worn this sleeve crossbow since childhood, secretly keeping it for protection. It was secretly crafted by the royal artisans of Yunze State, mixed with a special metal, making it exceptionally tough.
With just one word from Wang Yi, he took it out, disassembled it, and replaced it with the shape she wanted, turning it into a pocket rope-launched crossbow.
Wang Yi reached into the bamboo basket behind him and pulled out a rope. The rope looked shiny black and was made of a special material, yet it was soft and tough.
Under Zhao Wu's guidance, she installed the rope into the crossbow shell and tied it around her wrist.
"Just right!" Wang Yi shook it. There was a leather pad between the crossbow and his skin, and it was the right size, not cumbersome at all. As long as he lowered his sleeves, he could not see anything.
Seeing her happy face, Zhao Wu was overjoyed, especially since this crossbow was the one he wore when he was a child. Now wearing it on Wang Yi, he felt as if Wang Yi was holding him close to her body. Zhao Wu didn't know how happy he was to be able to protect her in this way.
“Whoosh!”
The front part of the Thousand Binding Rope was a sharp hook. When Wang Yi fired it, it actually went straight into the wooden pillar. It took a lot of strength to pull it out.
"What a powerful force!" Wang Yi exclaimed.
"Good rope!" Zhao Wu grabbed the rope and tugged, but there was no slack at all, which proved that the rope itself was strong enough. "If this rope is used well, it can easily swing a person."
"Thank you."
Wang Yi thanked him sincerely and did not say anything like giving money to ruin the atmosphere.
It was obvious that the crossbow shell was not mass-produced. It must be a precious item for Zhao Wu's personal use. She would not use silver to discredit someone else's intentions.
Then he flipped his hand and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.
Inside are pills made from tanned blood-clotting grass, wild ginseng, etc.
After drying, it can be stored for three to five years and is a blood-clotting pill that stops bleeding and nourishes qi.
Just one pill can stop heavy bleeding.
There are ten pills in this bottle. Wang Yi made them himself by crushing herbs in his space when he couldn't sleep.
"Here are ten pills for use in cases of heavy bleeding or insufficient Qi and blood. For external use, grind them into powder and apply directly to the wound. For internal use, just swallow them. They stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and dissolve blood stasis. They can save lives in emergencies from multiple injuries. Keep them safe."
"This is too valuable, Wang Yi. I gave you this crossbow without asking for anything in return—"
"It's a token of kindness in return. Keep it." Wang Yi said, smiling and shaking the crossbow. In her opinion, those herbal pills were just made for fun out of boredom. If anyone encountered a few external injuries with heavy bleeding, they would be backup medicine.
As for the arrows and crossbows, they are rare and can only be found by chance.
If it weren't so troublesome to make pills and grind the herbs, she would be happy to exchange it for a sack.
But for Zhao Wu, it seemed like he had hit the mark.
Exchanging hearts... She is exchanging hearts with me.
Zhao Wu immediately put away the bottle of elixir and put it back into the square bamboo basket.
This is where he keeps his precious things, and from now on he will keep this bottle of blood-clotting pill there.
He subconsciously ignored that there was a red box under the bamboo basket, which contained the ginseng given by Wang Yi.
The precious item is not the blood-clotting pill or ginseng, but the "thought" exchanged for "thought".
Wang Yi felt that her time was up and wanted to leave, but Zhao Wu couldn't think of any way to keep her and could only see her out of the shop.
As soon as he got outside, Wang Yi saw the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Madam, our master and mistress invite you to dinner at their house. Please come with me."
The carriage was right at the door. Zhao Wu had a stern face and looked a little unhappy. He originally wanted to invite everyone to dinner, but someone beat him to it before he could say it.
But he also knew that the city lord's son was at Wang Yi's manor, so it was normal for the city lord to invite him, so he didn't say anything more.
Wang Yi said goodbye to him with a smile. She was still worried about Mo Xin's mother and wondered how her condition would improve in a few days.
This time, I'll take her pulse again. Don't worry, his mother's condition will relapse.
The housekeeper sat on the rut, and silly sister Lan Miao followed Wang Yi into the carriage.
Wang Yi had just opened the carriage curtain when she was surprised to see the city lord's wife actually sitting in the carriage waiting for her.
When she saw Wang Yi coming, she smiled and took Wang Yi's hand and sat down.
"My dear sister, I have been waiting for you for so long. If you don't come out, I will ask the housekeeper to go in and look for you."
As soon as Wang Yi saw her look, he knew without any diagnosis that her illness had been cured by 80%.
Moreover, her face no longer looked gray, but appeared more rosy and soft.
"Ma'am, you've recovered very well. This little gift is for you."
Wang Yi took a facial mask from the bamboo basket and handed it over.
Her first step in opening up the business circle among the noble ladies of Qingdong City was to start with the wife of the city lord.
