The two returned home.
Qin Zhao held his soaked umbrella under the eaves, then turned around to see that the scarlet figure was gone. He shook his head helplessly and walked into the bedroom.
The young man lay on the bed with his entire face buried in the quilt. There were a few bright red fish scales on the back of his exposed hands, which were particularly conspicuous against his plain white underwear and skin.
Qin Zhao laughed uncontrollably: "Get up and change your clothes."
The rain was so heavy that even though they held an umbrella, their clothes still got wet as they walked back.
"Wait...wait a little longer." The voice coming from under the quilt was unclear and sounded a little depressed.
Jing Li buried his head in the soft quilt. Feeling the other person still standing behind him, he muttered, "Don't look at me..."
"Okay, I won't look at you." Qin Zhao took out a set of clean clothes from the closet and placed it beside the bed. He couldn't help but touched Jing Li's soft head and felt the boy's body shudder slightly under his palm.
He stood up, took his clothes and left the bedroom.
After a while, Jing Li raised his head.
That pretty face was still slightly flushed, with some fine, bright red scales appearing at the corners of the eyes, adding a touch of charm to the face.
How embarrassing...
It's just a kiss, why are you so nervous that you almost turn back to your original form?
Is there any hope for success?
Jing Li touched the scales at the corner of his eyes in annoyance.
What's more troublesome is that he doesn't know how to change back.
"Woo..." Jing Li turned over in bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself.
The fish is autistic.
Qin Zhao changed his clothes and took out a herbal prescription from his original clothes.
This is the prescription that Mr. Xue gave him today.
This prescription lists six or seven kinds of medicinal ingredients.
Doctors have always been very careful with their secret prescriptions and would not easily reveal the complete prescription. Mr. Xue is no exception.
The prescription in Qin Zhao's hand was obviously not the complete version.
According to Mr. Xue, he had developed this prescription some time ago, but because the herbs in the prescription were either extremely precious or rare, he had never had a suitable opportunity to test it.
If Qin Zhao could find all the herbs he wrote down, he would prescribe medicine for Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao took a quick glance, frowned slightly, put away the prescription and turned to go to the study.
When Jing Li finally recovered from the fish scales on his body and came to the study, Qin Zhao was studying a thick medical book.
Hearing him enter the room, Qin Zhao raised his head: "Recovered?"
Jing Li pursed her lips, still a little unsure how to face Qin Zhao, and quickly changed the subject: "How's your search going?"
Qin Zhao didn't answer, but waved to Jing Li: "Come here."
The previous owner of this courtyard was probably a scholar who loved reading. He had a lot of books in his study, which made it convenient for Qin Zhao to search.
There were several open medical books on the desk, and in front of Qin Zhao was a piece of rough paper, which was already densely written on.
It was all herbal medicine knowledge that he had just copied from a book.
Jing Li walked to Qin Zhao and stood beside him, but Qin Zhao moved to the side, leaving half of his seat for him.
Jing Li: “…”
Qin Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "Sit down?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jing Li sat down reluctantly.
The chair was a round chair with a backrest and armrests. The seat was wide, but it was still too tight to accommodate two adult men.
Jing Li's back was stiff, but he still couldn't avoid touching Qin Zhao's body.
The herbal fragrance lingered around him, and he felt that the fish scales he had hidden with great difficulty were starting to come out again.
Qin Zhao naturally noticed his nervousness and smiled silently, but said nothing. Instead, he pointed to the prescription on the table: "I just looked at this prescription carefully. There are several herbs that should be available in this county, but..."
"Just what?" Jing Li's attention was immediately drawn away.
Qin Zhao said: "Most of the medicines here are precious herbs. Even if we can find them, I'm afraid we will..."
Can't afford it.
"Why don't we just let that Pei guy buy it?" Jing Li wasn't worried about the money at all. "Won't he be rewarding us handsomely?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Qin Zhao said.
Pei An now almost agrees to Qin Zhao's every request, so it would not be difficult for him to exchange the reward for flood control for herbs.
Qin Zhao: "I'm not worried about whether the herbs are available on the market. The problem is that some of them are extremely rare and have no market."
If it was just a matter of money, the old man surnamed Xue would not have specially written a prescription and asked them to find the medicine. Wouldn't he have just asked them to pay the money?
The difficulty lies in the fact that some herbs cannot be bought with money.
Now even Jing Li was a little worried.
