“No matter what happened last night, whether it’s true or not, I don’t intend to pursue Gu Ji. I’ll take him away now!”

"You don't want anyone to die, do you? Even if you don't let me take the person away, I won't go to the government office to testify."

Su Ruanruan looked straight at Huo Yan. She didn't know whether he would agree to her.

Probably not, she thought.

But unexpectedly, he actually agreed.

Huo Yan waved his hand, "It's up to you."

So he took Niu Mang, who was still gnawing on the rabbit leg, and walked to another part of the mountain.

Su Ruanruan walked quickly towards Gu Ji and patted his cheek, "Wake up."

Gu Ji licked his cracked lips, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Su Ruanruan standing so close to him. A hint of guilt appeared on his weak face.

"Soft... Soft, I'm sorry."

Su Ruanruan paused while busy untying the rope for him, "Huh, you really peeked at me?"

She punched Gu Ji on the shoulder again, "Hate it, I trusted you so much! You are such a pig."

Seeing that this guy was in low spirits, Su Runrun had no choice but to support him and walk down the mountain step by step.

After sending him home, she found that Uncle Gu Yong had not returned home yet. She could only find some herbal medicine for treating colds in the yard, boil it, and personally give it to Gu Ji to drink, and then wait for him to fall asleep before leaving.

Just as he was about to leave the hospital, he saw Huo Yan walking in front with a dark face. Two big men behind him were driving a man. The man had a painful expression and his lips were a little blue. Although he was dressed simply, it couldn't hide his noble temperament.

Looking more closely, the man looked somewhat familiar.

Yes, it’s the man named Wei Zheng.

Su Ruanruan quietly dodged and hid behind the door.

Prepare to wait until they are far away before going out.

But then I heard the door being kicked open with a bang.

With a cry of "Ouch", Su Ruanruan covered her nose which was bleeding.

She quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the blood from her nose.

Su Ruanruan was so angry that she was about to spit fire. She had even hidden herself away, but this guy still wouldn't let her go.

Huo Yan led the three of them into the yard. Without even looking at Su Ruanruan, he began to look around the small yard.

It feels like returning to my own home.

Niu Mang and Jin Yu placed Wei Zheng on a low stool aside.

Lifting up his trouser leg, two teeth marks in the shape of an "eight" were revealed, with blood stains on them. His calf was already a little swollen.

Huo Yan stepped forward, took out a dagger and cut the wound into a small cross shape at the tooth mark, preparing to suck out the venom.

Su Ruanruan covered her nose and spoke quickly.

"Hey, you can't suck his wound. You'll get poisoned yourself if you have a wound in your mouth!"

Huo Yan then noticed Su Ruanruan standing beside him. She was wiping the blood from her nose with a handkerchief, looking very embarrassed.

Thinking of his broken lips, Huo Yan's eyes darkened again.

Su Ruanruan didn't want to remind them at first, but they had trespassed into a private residence, and if something happened, she didn't know whether they would turn the tables on them.

Jin Yu glanced at the uncomfortable looks of his eldest brother and Su Ruanruan, and his gaze lingered on their broken lips for a moment.

Thinking about where my elder brother went last night, a picture suddenly flashed in my mind...

But this was not the time for him to gossip, so without hesitation, he immediately sucked blood for Wei Zheng.

Huo Yan asked Su Ruanruan, "Is there a doctor in the village?"

"What a coincidence, this is it!"

"And the doctor?"

Huo Yan glanced around the room. With all the noise they were making, if there was someone inside, they would have come out long ago.

"That's unfortunate. The old doctor is not here and the young doctor is sick!"

"sick?"

Su Ruanruan raised her eyebrows. "He was tied to a tree by someone and left in the rain and sun for a whole night. It would be strange if he didn't get sick."

"You mean the one who peeped at you taking a bath was a doctor?"

Su Ruanruan didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing the man on the stool with a painful expression, his distracted eyes looked at her from time to time, and he tried to force a smile. She couldn't hear what he said, but she could tell from his lips that he said, "Miss Su, we meet again."

Oh, he is so optimistic.

Su Ruanruan was making medicine for Gu Ji at that time, and she already knew roughly where Uncle Gu Yong kept the medical supplies.

She quickly walked into a nearby room, found a strip of cloth, and tied it tightly around Wei Zheng's limb near the wound to control the spread of the poison.

He also told Niu Mang to loosen the rope every quarter of an hour, then tie it tight again, and repeat this process.

Seeing that she was calm and composed, Niu Mang didn't ask any more questions and nodded secretly.

She went to the kitchen, got a wooden basin, scooped some cold water, found some coarse salt, poured it in, and stirred it to dissolve.

Then he handed it to Huo Yan and instructed, "Use this to wash his wound. I'll be back soon."

Su Ruanruan hurried to the backyard again. She remembered that Uncle Gu Yong had planted a patch of medicinal herbs there, and wondered if there was anything she needed.

If not, she would have to go to the mountain again.

But God did not let her go, and she really found the Fritillaria cirrhosa and the Lobelia chinensis in a corner of the yard.

She found some tools, crushed the freshly pulled out Paris polyphylla, and applied the powder to Wei Zheng's wound.

I started to tend to the freshly picked lobelia.

Under the scorching sun, Su Runrun's cheeks were slightly reddened by the sun, and the strands of hair around her ears were sticking to her face with beads of sweat.

She concentrated on pounding the herbs in her hand without even raising her head.

Feeling someone's eyes fixed on her, Su Ruanruan raised her head slightly and saw Huo Yan looking at her.

She curled her lips and ignored him, continuing with what she was doing.

When their eyes met, Huo Yan looked at Su Ruanruan's broken lips and felt his own lips hurt slightly again.

Su Ruanruan poured the crushed medicine into a bowl and handed it to Jin Yu, "Feed it to him!"

Jin Yu looked at the medicine in the bowl and asked, "Do you know medicine?"

Su Ruanruan nodded. "Gu Ji and I grew up together. I often went to his house to play, so I know a little bit... This Lobelia has a fragrant aroma that can dispel filth, dissolve dampness and harmonize the stomach. It can not only detoxify snake venom, but also relieve the adverse reactions caused by poisoning."

Jin Yu looked at Huo Yan, as if seeking his opinion.

Only after Huo Yan nodded did he give Wei Zheng the medicine.

After Su Ruanruan finished their work, she went into the house and checked Gu Ji's forehead, which was a little hot.

It would be strange if you don't get sick if you are caught in the rain and exposed to the sun.

Even though he is in good health now, she remembered that Gu Ji was not in good health when he was a child and was always sick every other day.

When the original owner was a child, he often went up the mountain to pick wild fruits, and when he came down the mountain he would secretly come to see him.

Gu Yong would also hide the malt sugar his father bought for him and share it with her when she came.

The two of them can really be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

It was not easy for Uncle Gu Yong to raise him all by himself.

Su Runrun sat in the kitchen, cooking sweet potato porridge and frying medicine to reduce fever and induce sweating.

The aroma of medicine and the sweet fragrance of sweet potatoes wafted out from the kitchen.

Wei Zheng's nose twitched slightly. After tossing and turning for so long, most of the poison in his body had been gone, and he was already hungry.
