After going outside, Ah Li went to grind the medicine into powder using a medicine grinder.
Xing Ke dressed, put away her gun, and came out from the back.
Ah Li didn't look at him, but occasionally threw herbs into the medicine trough and ground them back and forth.
Xing Ke stood silently to one side. What was he here for?
I wanted to see if this person really liked men. I thought he was good-looking and had many women pursuing him in Shanghai, but he had never pursued anyone before.
If he can build a good relationship with him, then he might be able to find out how he concocted that special anesthetic.
Ali glanced at Xing Ke, then took out a prescription from a small drawer next to her and said, "This prescription contains the formula for the anesthetic. Have someone find it yourself."
One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.
Ah Li indicated that she understood and knew what was going on. She had prepared everything, but most importantly, it was better for him to find the medicinal herbs himself than for her to take the risk.
Xing Ke couldn't quite understand the person in front of him. He seemed unreliable, but what he did was like a timely help in his time of need, relieving his immediate crisis.
Thank you.
Xing Ke took the prescription and looked at the listed medicinal materials, some of which were very common.
Ah Li thought that now that this person had taken what he wanted, he should be leaving.
To be honest, she doesn't lack highly damaging weapons in her space, but she just can't bring them out.
As for her own abilities, she can protect herself, but if she really wants to join the battlefield, the system rules will activate.
There are some things that you know will happen, but you just can't change them—that feeling of powerlessness is something Ahri has experienced.
Xing Ke took the prescription and left. He needed to quickly have the medicinal materials prepared so that the anesthetic could be made as soon as possible and delivered to the hospital.
And so it went for a long time.
Ahri continued to run the little clinic, occasionally looking after people's cats and dogs.
Sometimes we would go up the mountain to pick some herbs, and while we were at it, we would also venture a little further to deal with some enemy bandits.
The war continued to spread unnoticed.
On this day, Ahri, unusually, went out shopping to buy some things.
Xiao Liu led a group of people past her. Xiao Liu glanced awkwardly at Ah Li before continuing on her way.
That day, when the man mentioned needing medicinal herbs, he could only find a limited amount, and secretly, someone else had collected all the herbs.
Ah Li didn't pay much attention to Xiao Liu's inability to look her in the eye. Instead, someone on the roadside said, "I heard they're arresting people, arresting underground party members."
"Keep your voice down and go back quickly."
Ali put a few more radishes and a large cabbage into the basket she was carrying, and continued walking forward.
In a nearby alley, a man with an arm injury was holding a gun. In front of him, there were only a few boxes, baskets, and pieces of wood for cover.
When Ali appeared here, Xing Ke was also there, surrounded by a number of people. They weren't doing anything; they were just gathered there. To pass through the alley, you had to walk through them.
Xing Ke glanced at Ali, who had told him to call him "boss" when he helped him dig out the bullets.
After they came out, neither of them mentioned it or made a sound, as if the matter had simply passed.
Ah Li took a detour; this person was still quite useful in the Shanghai International Settlement.
Later that night, someone climbed over the wall and came in from outside the small clinic.
There were three people: Xing Ke, another with an injured arm, and the third looking around while leaning against the wall, listening to the sounds outside.
Ahri was sitting in the courtyard when she suddenly came face to face with these three people.
Ahri wasn't surprised at all, and even raised her hand to greet him, "Hi, we meet again."
Xing Ke removed the black mask from her face and walked towards Ah Li. "You knew I was coming?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I sat outside to get some fresh air."
Ah Li stood up and looked at the other two people. She didn't ask any questions or scrutinize them. Instead, she went into the house and said, "Come in with me."
Xing Ke looked at the two people and indicated that Ah Li could be trusted. "Let's go in. This person can cure her."
That night, patrolmen could be seen constantly moving from one side to the other.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a city-wide manhunt.
Xiao Liu led a group of people past Ali's small clinic. He only glanced at it before leading his men over.
That person isn't one to cause trouble.
A few days later, a rickshaw stopped in front of Ali's door, and a very pretty girl got out of the rickshaw, holding a cat in her arms.
The cat is white with blue eyes; it's very beautiful.
When the bell at the door rang, Xing Ke looked over first.
Ahri was helping him apply burn ointment. This man had been coming over from time to time ever since that night, and today he said he had been burned.
It was indeed burned quite badly; it's a bit red and swollen.
Xing Ke was enjoying Ah Li applying burn ointment to his burns when an outsider came to disturb him, and the people guarding the door stopped him!
When the girl came in, she immediately felt uncomfortable when she saw Xing Ke there.
This man is Master Xing!
Xing Ke gave her a cold look, and Ye Jialuo understood that he didn't want to talk to her, and she shouldn't try to get close to him either.
Ah Li looked over and saw that this was the woman who had been arrested and taken to the police station because a cat had died.
Ye Jialuo had originally intended to arrogantly invite him over, but now he could only say dryly, "You, come here and let me see the cat."
Ali continued applying burn ointment to Xing Ke, saying without looking up, "Sorry, I'm treating people now, not you little beast."
