Chapter 25 Return

The lilac knots in the courtyard have begun to wither, but the rich fragrance has not diminished at all. Shen Yuqing sat in the lobby of the inn and looked out the window thoughtfully.

This is probably a good weather for feeling sad in autumn and mourning in spring, Shen Yuqing thought. According to the time, the other party should have discovered his situation. Shen Yuqing felt regretful when he thought that such a beautiful face of his would probably rot and stink.

Perhaps it was the power of nature to heal one's mood. After settling down in the inn in this wilderness, Shen Yuqing dreamed of the battle less frequently, and the scene of the river of blood when he closed his eyes seemed to have faded a lot.

In the battle in which the empire resisted foreign enemies, Shen Yuqing lost all his relatives and his mental strength was also severely damaged. Fortunately, they relied on their own flesh and blood to defend their homeland.

Peace came to the empire, and Shen Yuqing, whose mental strength was damaged, voluntarily resigned from his position. However, on the day he left, he was hugged by his subordinate without noticing.

Can you imagine a 1.91-meter-tall man hugging your legs and crying?

Amid the wailing of his subordinates, Shen Yuqing repeatedly assured that he was not discouraged or ready to commit suicide. Then he compromised and agreed with his subordinates to go for mental treatment every three months. However, he was going to break the appointment this time, and he didn't know how his subordinates would cry this time.

“Is this world real?”

Shen Yuqing stretched out his hand to feel the warmth of the sun, and occasionally he would question the reality of this world.

Perhaps sensing Shen Yuqing's doubts, the game panel suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yuqing without being summoned, and the panel was covered with bold red fonts.

【Real! Real! Real! If it’s fake, I’ll pay you ten times the price!】

[Really! Really! Really! ]

.......

"Okay, okay! It's true."

Shen Yuqing coaxed the game panel in a gentle voice for a while, and the red fonts finally disappeared from his sight. He breathed a sigh of relief. Just from the red fonts, he could tell that this game panel really had no idea about typeset.

As a level 10 online surfing player, Shen Yuqing had read some novels about time travel systems. As for this game panel, Shen Yuqing thought about it and thought it was probably a relatively low-level system. After all, it couldn't even speak.

Game Panel: I can type!

After feeling sad for a while, Shen Yuqing started to think about the major events in her life again, so she added an egg yolk, shrimp and tofu dish to her lunch. Shen Yuqing couldn't help but sigh that such a simple life was indeed suitable for her.

"Xiao Jiang, take the gray fertilizer and go south to pick up the guys who are coming back." Shen Yuqing said with a smile while drinking tea.

Jiang Chichen's expression froze for a moment, and then he nodded hesitantly. He didn't know why he felt that the shopkeeper looked a little weird. Obviously, if Xiao Jiang was lucky enough to travel through time, he might be able to imagine the male leader in the company wearing an old man's shirt and holding a teacup, arranging tasks with a kind face.

Finally, it was the turn of the Gray Fertilizer to perform. It was walking back and forth in front of the Black Fertilizer with a sly expression. After Jiang Chichen intentionally tempted it with carrots, it quickly calmed down and left Jiang Chichen obediently.

No one noticed that Jiang Chichen was a little confused. After all, the black donkey behind him seemed to be staring at him and the gray fertilizer with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

Jiang Chichen, who had been pecked by birds, grabbed by cats, and chased by dogs, held the carrot tightly, as if the carrot was some kind of talisman. The donkey next to him looked at the bipedal beast with puzzled eyes, wondering how come this bipedal beast couldn't even walk.

After walking in this tense mood for a while, Jiang Chichen found that the donkey didn't bother to pay attention to him after noticing that he didn't have any carrots. This made Jiang Chichen gradually relax. Now it seems that he will not have another experience of being kicked by a donkey in his life.

Jiang Chichen walked southward with the gray fertilizer. Before the man and the donkey had walked for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chichen saw someone lying on the ground not far away.

The inn was located in the wilderness, and there were few guests on weekdays. In addition, the shopkeeper said that the road was heading south, so Jiang Chichen could basically judge that the unconscious man in front of him was the waiter the shopkeeper mentioned. Looking at the unconscious man, it was no wonder that the shopkeeper asked him to lead the donkey to pick him up.

Jiang Chichen helped the man onto the donkey's back and secured him. As if sensing the seriousness of the situation, Hui Huafei became particularly obedient. Then they quickened their pace and returned the same way.

Li Fuchun was somewhat curious about the employee who was going home to visit relatives as mentioned by the shopkeeper. He looked towards the door from time to time, and seemed to be looking forward to his return even more than Shen Yuqing.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he saw a donkey running straight towards the inn.

"Shopkeeper!"

Looking at the man on the donkey's back who was obviously acting strangely, Li Fuchun was a little dumbfounded.

"Help me move him to the guest room." Shen Yuqing ordered Jiang Chichen who had just reacted and caught up.

Obviously Xiao Jiang didn't understand why the gray fertilizer suddenly accelerated as if it had been injected with chicken blood, so that he was left with a frustrated face.

Jiang Chichen was very strong and he easily moved the unconscious man to the bed in the guest room. Then, without waiting for the storekeeper's instructions, he very naturally left the room and thoughtfully closed the door.

Looking at Wuchang who was unconscious, Shen Yuqing first placed the fruit of the jade bone flower on the bedside, and then took out a thousand-year-old ginseng from his backpack. He cut a piece with a knife and placed it under Wuchang's tongue.

The jade bone fruit produced by the jade bone flower is as big as an ox eye and is white all over. The fruit will not rot for three years. Unlike the jade bone flower, it cannot repel insects on a large scale, so the user must wear it close to the body.

Under the influence of the Jade Bone Fruit, the movements of the insects in Wuchang's body gnawing at his flesh and blood became slower and slower. As Shen Yuqing controlled the silver needles, the chaotic true energy in Wuchang's body gradually calmed down. Just when the true energy in Wuchang's body was very close to a balanced state, Shen Yuqing slapped him on the chest.

Wuchang's upper body was almost shaken up, and black blood and ginseng were vomited out, and then he fell down again.

After checking that his new clothes were not stained with blood, Shen Yuqing continued to control the silver needle to constantly change the acupuncture points.

Boar insects themselves are poisonous creatures, and over the years some toxins have accumulated in Wuchang's body. Shen Yuqing could probably guess that Wuchang's martial arts were related to poison. Simply put, the opponent could refine the toxins in the body, and what Shen Yuqing just forced out were the remaining toxins after Wuchang's refining. These seemingly minor toxins, after a long period of accumulation, are also a hidden danger.

After a full hour, Shen Yuqing took back the silver needle, and Wuchang's originally pale face now had a bit more color.

After hearing the movement at the door, Li Fuchun came over quickly. Jiang Chichen, who was wiping the table, also looked at Shen Yuqing as if he had sensed something.

"Uncle Li, please go to the storeroom and get a new set of clothes. His clothes are stained with blood and I'm afraid they can't be worn."

"Okay." Li Fuchun responded immediately after hearing the shopkeeper's instructions. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the shopkeeper's appearance, the person in the room should not be in serious trouble.

In fact, Shen Yuqing was far from being as relaxed as Li Fuchun looked. If he had been a little later, he would not have been sure of rescuing the other party. Fortunately, the gray fertilizer was a fixed mount of the inn, so he was able to control the other party and let the donkey speed up and rush back to the inn.

On the second day, Shen Yuqing continued to give acupuncture to Wuchang to suppress the violent true qi in his body. This time he did not force out the poisonous blood as roughly as he did yesterday. Instead, he led the poison to the opponent's left hand and then made a small cut on Wuchang's wrist. Soon, black blood flowed out along Wuchang's wrist.

The loss of blood in the body made Wuchang's pale face turn even paler. After the color of the blood gradually faded, Shen Yuqing bandaged the opponent's wound, then put his hand on the opponent's back to transmit the true energy into the opponent's body. After a while, Wuchang's expression eased a lot.

Shen Yuqing's true qi seemed gentle, but it penetrated into every part of Wuchang's body. Under the guidance of his true qi, the true qi in Wuchang's body became calm again.

On the third day, Shen Yuqing no longer needed to help Wuchang force out the poison, as the remaining poison in his body was gradually being dissolved. He fed Wuchang a pill, and then continued to give him acupuncture to regulate his body. Wuchang's internal organs were all damaged, and needed continuous conditioning and nourishment with true Qi.

Half an hour later, Shen Yuqing took back the silver needle and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a weak resistance. He turned around and saw a hand tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.

"Boss, I'm back." A smile spread across Wuchang's pale face, and his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.

Shen Yuqing seemed to be able to see his own reflection in those dark eyes. He whispered, "Welcome back."

Wuchang heard the familiar voice and slowly loosened his hand. He seemed to finally realize that everything in front of him was not his imagination. He slowly sat up. This simple movement consumed most of his strength, but the smile on his face never faded. He said seriously: "Wuchang is dead. From now on, I am just a staff member of Chungui Inn."

"In that case, namelessness is a name. From now on, I will call you nameless."

Wu Chang only felt that there was an emotion flowing in his heart like a tide, silently submerging his body and mind.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wuming."

Wuming was aware of his own physical condition. He also understood that Shen Yuqing must have put in a lot of effort to save him. It was not an exaggeration to say that his life today was given by the shopkeeper.

"You still need to rest for a few days before you can resume normal movement. Remember not to leave the jade bone fruit by the bed." Shen Yuqing instructed. As he was about to leave the room, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "I'll have someone bring you some medicine in a while. Remember to drink it all."

Shen Yuqing came to the back kitchen, holding a medical book in his hand and looking at it carefully, then he exchanged herbs at the shop on the game panel with a confident look.

Just as he kept putting herbs into the medicine jar, the system panel appeared again, and the picture on the panel was marked with a big cross. Shen Yuqing looked at the herbs in his hand that were the same as the ones on the panel. He flipped through the medical book with a guilty conscience. After comparing, he found that the herbs in his hand looked like they had a few more curled leaves than what was described in the medical book. After realizing that he had taken the wrong herbs, Shen Yuqing pretended nothing had happened and threw the herbs into the waste bucket beside him.

"Thank you." Shen Yuqing did not hesitate to praise him. Afterwards, he said with some annoyance, "But there are so many herbs that it's really a headache. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have made a mistake."

After being praised, the game panel flashed a few times, and looking at Shen Yuqing's distressed expression, a red dot suddenly appeared on the game panel.

【Continuous sign-in gift package. Waiting to receive】

Shen Yuqing opened the continuous sign-in gift package stored in his backpack, which already contained ten pre-assembled packages of medicinal herbs. A smile flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the game panel actively jump into the trap, Shen Yuqing almost couldn't suppress her smile. The game panel, which was unaware of being tricked, thought that Shen Yuqing was surprised to see the gift package. For a moment, the game panel inexplicably felt happy.

After the preparation of the medicine was completed, Shen Yuqing took out another medicine jar, but before he could put all the herbs in the bag into the jar, Li Fuchun, who had just entered the kitchen, took the initiative to take on the task of boiling the medicine.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Li."

"Don't be polite, boss. Just leave it to me."

Li Fuchun had once boiled medicine for his master, so he was no stranger to the process. At the same time, he knew that boiling medicine was a waste of energy, and one could ruin a whole pot of herbs if one was not careful. The shopkeeper had been spending his time treating patients these days, and Li Fuchun didn't want boiling medicine to take away the shopkeeper's energy.

Shen Yuqing, who was pushed out of the kitchen, had to lie on the rocking chair to bask in the sun. Life is sometimes so wonderful.

The game panel feels like something is wrong: my head is itching as if it needs to grow a brain!

After several days of feeding Wuming with medicinal soup, Wuming's body got much better. To celebrate Wuming's return, Shen Yuqing specially asked Li Fuchun to buy a sheep. Looking at the fragrant roasted whole lamb in the courtyard, Shen Yuqing looked serious. He definitely didn't think it was because he was greedy.

"This is Wuming." Shen Yuqing introduced him to the two people.

"I'm Li Fuchun."

"Jiang Chichen."

The name Wuming itself is strange, but several people in this inn have had some unforgettable experiences. The name is just a title, and they will not have any doubts about the person chosen by the shopkeeper.

Shen Yuqing, who was trusted by the three men, was thinking about which part of the roasted whole lamb was the most tender.

"I want you to help me save someone."

Yun Wuque lost his spirits when he heard that. He blinked and said, "I am not proficient in medicine. Have you forgotten that I used poison last time?"

Lu Jingci didn't seem surprised by Yun Wuque's reaction. He continued, "Whether you can cure him or not, I will pay you the same reward as that day. If you can cure him, I will pay you five times more."

Yun Wuque's eyes widened instantly, and the Lu Jingci in front of him seemed to have turned into a ball of cotton thread. He stretched out his claws impatiently to rescue the tangled ball of cotton thread.

"Well...although I'm not an expert in medicine, I can certainly give it a try." Yun Wuque quickly changed his words.

Yun Wuque knew that the day the other party was talking about was the day when Feihua asked for the medical fees. He couldn't help but look at Lu Jingci in front of him with curiosity. He didn't expect that this man was also a hidden rich man.

"Thank you."

What a strange person, Yun Wuque thought to himself, "I need to go home first."

It was impossible for him to conjure up a medicine box out of thin air in front of others. After thinking it over, Yun Wuque decided to pretend to go home to get the medicine box and give the medicine box brother a suitable opportunity to appear.

Lu's surprised gaze fell on the paper bag in Yun Wuque's hand, and then he nodded in agreement.

After returning to the house, Lu Jingci stayed in the living room, while Yun Wuque went to the living room to get the medicine box.

Lu Jingci was still dressed in black today, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face. He was just sitting there, but his presence could not be ignored.

"Let's go."

Even Yun Wuque had to admit that this Commander Lu was indeed very eye-catching.

Lu Jingci seemed a little surprised to see Yun Wuque come out so quickly. He said, "If we don't eat the dried fish now, I'm afraid it won't be crispy enough in a short time, and the taste will be affected."

Lu's startled remark was tantamount to implicitly admitting the fact that he had been following Yun Wuque, but what he said was even more bizarre than his own tracking.

Yun Wuque's blue eyes were full of surprise and confusion. He asked, "Don't you want me to visit the patient first?"

Lu shook his head in shock, "The patient won't run away."

That's fine...

Since his employer was so reasonable, Yun Wuque naturally put down the medicine box quickly, and then enthusiastically invited the other party to taste the delicious spicy dried fish together.

Watching him leisurely eating the spicy dried fish and dried land, Yun Wuque once again felt the magic of the world.

But having said that, the dried fish tastes really good, fragrant, spicy and very chewy. It seems that Commander Lu is also a person with good taste.

Yun Wuque had always been indifferent to who he treated, as long as he was paid. However, perhaps because he was too greedy for small fish or because Lu's words were too harmless, he asked casually, "Who is the patient? It's amazing that Commander Lu came in person to invite him."

Lu Jingci took a sip of tea. Although he could eat spicy food, his lips were still slightly reddened by the irritation of the chili pepper.

"My master, Lu Chao."

Yun Wuque blinked his eyes again and again. He looked at Lu Jingci's slightly red lips, and then remembered that he said the patient would not run away. Yun Wuque couldn't help but sigh, what a great "master-disciple friendship"!

After the two of them dealt with the dried fish, Yun Wuque once again picked up the first aid box that was thrown aside.

As soon as he went out, Yun Wuque saw that Jiuyou's people seemed to be catching a criminal. He took a closer look and felt that the person looked familiar for some reason, as if he was the spy who had been keeping an eye on him for the past few days.

"Commander, everything has been resolved."

"Yeah." Lu nodded in surprise.

Yun Wuque didn't care about these spies simply because they didn't interfere with his life. The reason why Jiuyou took action was probably because Lu Jingci didn't want others to know where his master lived. After all, these spies were best at prying into other people's privacy.

Feeling that the surroundings had become much quieter, Yun Wuque looked at Lu Jingci thoughtfully and said, "This is a weakness. Aren't you afraid of me..."

Lu Jingci understood what the other party meant. He looked into those sapphire eyes and said word by word: "This is my sincere invitation to you to come."
