Jun Haoyue patted Xu Xingchen on the shoulder. Xu Xingchen understood and followed him out.
The two of them came to the yard and found a seat on the corridor railing.
Xu Xingchen placed one arm across the railing, resting his head on it. He placed the small bottle of nutrient solution in front of his eyes and shook it gently, sighing secretly.
Jun Haoyue stood with his arms folded and his back against the railing. Hearing the sigh, his eyes moved, and after a while he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering what's wrong with Chen Pi's mother's poison. There's no way there's something wrong with maltose. I don't know what went wrong."
"Wait for Chen Pi to come out and ask him."
"kindness..."
The two of them fell silent, each thinking.
Suddenly, Xu Xingchen seemed to remember something and asked Jun Haoyue in confusion, "Oh, I almost forgot. How did you know that Chen Pi's mother was poisoned by the nutrient solution and vomited blood?"
Jun Haoyue paused, lowered his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and looked a little embarrassed.
Xu Xingchen looked at him suspiciously, and just when Jun Haoyue was about to give up her questioning, Chen Pi came out.
She put aside her doubts and stepped forward to ask about the situation, "How is your mother?"
Chen Pi's eyes were still red, but his complexion had improved a lot, and his brows were more relaxed. He replied uncomfortably, "My mother is asleep."
Xu Xingchen nodded in understanding, "I cured your mother, don't you have anything to say?"
"That doesn't mean my mother wasn't poisoned by your maltose."
Chen Pi's words were quite ungrateful, and Xu Xingchen was furious: "You are going too far! If my malt sugar is poisonous, why would I save your mother?"
No matter how she explained, Chen Pi insisted that his mother fell ill because she ate Xu Xingchen's malt sugar. Xu Xingchen pinched his brows with a headache.
Why is this Chen Pi so stubborn?
The two of them were arguing fiercely. Jun Haoyue, who was listening in, hummed softly and asked Chen Pi, "Did your mother eat anything else before eating malt sugar?"
Chen Pi collected his thoughts and thought about what his mother had eaten in the past few days.
"Just an ordinary meal."
"Where's the meat?" Jun Haoyue frowned.
"My mother made chicken soup and egg custard made from eggs from our hens, but that's all gone."
Jun Haoyue fell into deep thought. Xu Xingchen didn't understand why Jun Haoyue asked about food at first. After thinking about it, she realized that he was confirming whether it was food poisoning.
Xu Xingchen couldn't help but follow Jun Haoyue's train of thought. Illness comes from the mouth. If it's not a problem with food, then what else could it be?
A strange smell of medicine floated faintly in the air, and Xu Xingchen suddenly thought, could there be something wrong with the medicine?
Thinking of this, she asked Chen Pi: "Can you show me the prescription for the medicine your mother drank?"
Chen Pi said inexplicably, "I always go directly to the doctor to get the medicine. The prescription is with the doctor."
"Then tell me the doctor's address so I can see him myself."
Chen Pi said it was Doctor Li’s clinic in the town. After Xu Xingchen asked about the location, he and Jun Haoyue left Chen Pi’s house and went to Doctor Li’s clinic.
When they arrived at the clinic, Doctor Li was seeing patients. Seeing the two of them, Doctor Li asked them what was wrong with them. Xu Xingchen explained her purpose, and Doctor Li suddenly understood and took out a prescription from the back hall to show her.
While Jun Haoyue and Doctor Li were talking, Xu Xingchen used the light brain to scan the prescription, and the light brain quickly identified the problem.
The prescription contained dried persimmons, which are fine as a standalone medicine. However, their sweetness should not be consumed with eggs, as it can cause acute gastroenteritis and lung stones. It just so happened that Chen Pi's mother had also consumed maltose, an excess of which caused a more intense chemical reaction. Perhaps Dr. Li prescribed dried persimmons without consulting Chen Pi's mother about her dietary needs.
Just in case, Xu Xingchen asked Dr. Li whether it would be inappropriate to eat dried persimmons and eggs together.
Doctor Li's answer was exactly the same as the answer from the optical brain. Xu Xingchen told Doctor Li that Chen Pi's mother was poisoned by the dried persimmons in his prescription.
Doctor Li was shocked and apologized to Xu Xingchen with a guilty conscience. Xu Xingchen waved his hand and said, "I'm not blaming Doctor Li for anything. I just want to ask Doctor Li for a favor. Can you go with me to Chen Pi's house to explain and clear things up?"
Feeling guilty, Dr. Li readily agreed. The three of them went to Chen Pi's house, and Dr. Li explained to Chen Pi that it was because of a medicine in the prescription that caused his mother to fall ill.
When Chen Pi first heard this, he almost beat up Doctor Li, but his mother stopped him in time.
The truth came to light, and Chen Pi no longer had any hatred towards Xu Xingchen. The former street fighter became a toothless tiger.
"Thank you, Boss Xu, for saving my mother. I have no way to repay you." Chen Pi's mother pulled Chen Pi to Xu Xingchen to express her gratitude.
Xu Xingchen replied magnanimously: "It's okay. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. But then again, you don't even allow me to set up a stall, so where do you get the malt sugar?"
Chen Pi's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said awkwardly: "Someone gave it to me..."
"Give it as a gift? I'm afraid they didn't steal it." Xu Xingchen didn't believe that anyone from this evil gang would give him a gift.
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. Find a good way to make a living. Your mother is so old. What will happen to her if you have something?"
Chen Pi's mother agreed very much, "Yes, son, I just want to see you safe and sound, and find a good wife to support the family, then I will be satisfied."
Chen Pi was deeply moved by his mother's words. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that his words of persuasion were almost over, Xu Xingchen said his last request, "Finally, I hope you can clarify the rumor. Because of this rumor, I didn't sell a single piece of malt sugar today."
"Okay, tomorrow, when Boss Xu sets up his stall, I will explain it to everyone in public." Chen Pi promised.
Xu Xingchen nodded, this would be the best.
Jun Haoyue, who had been silent the whole time, reminded him, "Xingchen, it's getting late."
Xu Xingchen looked up at the sky, which was gray. He remembered that Jun Haoyue said it would snow today, so he didn't delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Chen Pi and his mother, he rushed to Sanwan Village.
Jun Haoyue's weather forecast was extremely accurate. Not long after they left the town, it began to snow heavily. Strong winds blew from time to time, blowing Xu Xingchen to and fro. Jun Haoyue had to hold on to him to prevent him from being blown over.
The two of them walked in the heavy snow and were almost buried in the snow. Xu Xingchen walked behind Jun Haoyue and was blown by the wind and snow so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. He only saw a sea of white in front of him.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Xingchen stepped on empty air. The foot that had been sprained before felt excruciating pain, and her body went limp and she fell into the snow.
Jun Haoyue picked her up and shouted at her, his mouth opening and closing. The wind whistled in his ears, blowing away his voice and making it disappear in the wind and snow.
He felt the person in his arms go limp, unable to stand steadily, and his seemingly calm expression shattered.
