"Saffron?"

"what is that?"

Qi Tiezui is worthy of being a man with a mouth. He asked what everyone wanted to know at the first time.

"I suspect it was the bug that was causing trouble in Jinnian's body, causing a lot of blood to accumulate in his body."

“Saffron can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, cool and detoxify, and calm the mind.”

"I think Xiao Jinnian has slept long enough. Is there nothing else we can use?"

“This is the best effect, but I don’t know if it’s enough.”

Qi Tiezui nodded and pretended to understand. He had never heard of it before. There were actually two plants in the Second Master's house, and one of them seemed to be taken away by Jinnian for fun. Oh my God, when did his Eighth Master get such treatment!

She is not as wealthy as the Second Master, and she is not as favored as Xiao Jinnian. She is not loved anymore.

Qi Tiezui bit his handkerchief in his heart for a long time, but no one comforted him. Then he heard Er Yuehong continuing to talk to the Buddha.

Angry.

Withered.

The whole process takes no more than two seconds.

Qi Tiezui felt really aggrieved. After leaving Jinnian, no one cared about him anymore. In the past, whenever he stuck out his butt, Jinnian would come over to give him a piece of candy and ask him if he was hungry. But now, no one cares about him at all.

Xiao Jinnian, wake up quickly, Master Ba wants your love.

As they were talking, Uncle Fu came in with a pot of flowers.

Zhang Qishan stepped forward to take it and put it on the table.

Qi Tiezui was fanning Jinnian with a cattail leaf fan. At first glance, the big purple pot of flowers looked quite pretty.

"Soak the flowers in water? That should be enough. Do you want to soak them now?"

Qi Tiezui asked several questions at once, but all he got was a sigh from Er Yuehong.

Er Yuehong frowned, a hint of worry appearing on his gentle face.

"Not enough, not enough."

"Isn't this enough? There are so many. There are several of them."

Qi Tiezui pointed to a basin on the table.

Er Yuehong replied: "Saffron refers to the deep red stigma on top of the three stamens in each saffron flower."

Qi Tiezui was confused: "What the hell?"

Er Yuehong knew all this because it was his father's birthday present, bought at a huge price.

It is exactly as that person said, it looks good, smells good, and can save lives.

The man was in a hurry to use the money, so he told Er Yuehong everything. When Mr. Hong saw them, he was surprised by the rare items. Knowing that Er Yuehong liked these elegant things, he brought them back and gave them to him as a gift.

Otherwise, he was planning to go to the auction, but it took too long.

Ordinary people are lucky to have enough to eat, so who would buy flowers to look at? Since they can't eat them, naturally they won't buy them. In such a big place, no one wants them.

If you exaggerate the efficacy to the sky, people won't believe it. If you understate the effect, people won't want it. Anyway, no one will buy it. Maybe it's God's will. Mr. Hong had just given up his power and came out to relax. The man waited for so long before Mr. Hong came back.

The man sighed that he had finally sold it, but he told everyone everything at once, for he was afraid that Mr. Hong would change his mind.

"Not the entire saffron flower can be used. That is to say, only three filaments of a flower are picked and used as medicine."

"And this pot only has two main buds, which adds up to a total of five flowers."

Qi Tiezui was at a loss for words. What kind of flowers and buds are these? He had never seen a flower grow so fast. Why was it so troublesome? Was he afraid that people would eat it?

In the end, Qi Tiezui felt a toothache when he saw the few strands of filaments that Er Yuehong had plucked off and put in the box. Even if he put all of them in his mouth, he couldn't sing them well. They weren't enough to fill his teeth. No wonder Er Yuehong kept saying they were not enough.

"What should we do? Little Jinnian can't be delayed."

"It's only enough for one time. We have to find more flowers."

Uncle Fu immediately asked someone to search for another pot in Jinnian's yard.

Just think about it, how can one time be enough?

"Second Master, can this thing be found in the city?"

Zhang Qishan looked at the flowers on the table, which were only for ornamental purposes, and turned the ring on his hand unconsciously.

Er Yuehong shook his head: "This thing was brought back by my father, and he hasn't come back yet."

"As far as I know, there are no flowers like this in Changsha."

Zhang Qishan's face also did not look good. He had just found a way to extend Jinnian's life, but then he learned that it could only be used once. He really couldn't be optimistic.

"I'll go find Master Jiu. Since someone is selling it, I'll go get it."

Er Yuehong looked at the few filaments in the box and nodded.

"Sorry to bother you, Master."

Zhang Qishan raised his eyebrows: "It's not a problem. Jinnian... is also my younger brother."

Er Yuehong didn't say anything. As long as he could help Jinnian, it was good enough.

He handed the saffron down and asked Qi Tiezui to watch it and make sure there was no mistake, while he stayed with Jinnian.

When Qi Tiezui came back with the soaked saffron, Zhang Qishan had disappeared.

"Second Master, come here."

"Thank you."

"Oh, why are you being so polite? This is what I, the Eighth Master, should do! Second Master, don't worry too much. I've calculated that Jinnian is a very lucky person, so nothing will happen to him!"

Er Yuehong's lips curled up slightly and he relaxed a little. He had been tense all the time and he felt a little tired.

As the dusk deepened, seeing Qi Tiezui yawning uncontrollably, Er Yuehong asked him to go back and get some sleep.

"Ha Qiu... I'm not asleep yet, Second Master, I can still hold on, hold on... Huhuhu..."

Looking at the snoring Qi Tiezui, Er Yuehong stood up and reluctantly put him on the couch beside him and covered him with a quilt. He then sat back down and stayed by Jinnian's side.

"Niannian, it's time to wake up."

Er Yuehong put his forehead against Jinnian's forehead, and the temperature had dropped, but Jinnian still didn't wake up.

Er Yuehong placed her cold lips on the back of Jinnian's hand.

"Brother is always with you."

"I will always be with you."

...............

"Master Buddha, there is some clue to what you asked me to find."

"where is it?"

Zhang Qishan received news from Master Jie Jiu and arrived early. The two talked in the dark night.

"Does Buddha know about the Crescent Hotel?"

"Know a thing or two."

"The auction house at the Crescent Hotel will be auctioning off saffron, along with deer grass. I wonder if it will be of any use to the young master."

Zhang Qishan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was some progress.

"Master Jiu, let me call Master Er to discuss this together."

"Alright, this trip won't be easy. More people means more assurance. I hope the young master gets better soon. He hasn't come to play chess with me for a long time."

It was said that they were playing chess, but in fact it was Master Jie Jiu who was playing Gobang with him. Jinnian couldn't learn the other games either.

Zhang Qishan nodded and left first.

..............

Jinnian slept for three days. During this period, he took a lot of nourishing herbs and spiritual objects, and even felt that he had taken too much.

After taking a dose of saffron, his qi and blood flowed smoothly. In addition, the purpose of the worms, or the purpose of the worms that had entered his body and were assimilated, was not to kill him, so he woke up naturally.

Jinnian's fingers were the first to turn on the phone. His fingers felt itchy and twitched slightly.

Er Yuehong hadn't slept yet. When Jinnian moved slightly, he immediately raised his body from the bed.

"Every year?"

Jinnian heard a familiar yet vague voice in her ear, her long eyelashes trembled, and she struggled to open her eyes.

The mixed colors of the sunlight were a little dazzling. Er Yuehong blocked the light for him and hugged Jinnian tightly in his arms. Only then did he feel at ease.

"elder brother?"

"Well, I'm here."

Jinnian came back to his senses, and the fear of being pounced on by insects seemed to still be there. He turned sideways, moved his arms, and hugged Er Yuehong's waist.

Er Yuehong quickly lowered his head and rubbed Jinnian's hair with his face.

"Brother will always be with you from now on and will never leave you again."

As soon as Er Yuehong comforted her, Jinnian could no longer hold back her tears, and the hot tears just flowed down her cheeks in big big drops.

"pain............"

"Good boy Jinnian, it won't hurt if brother hugs you."

Jinnian has thin skin, but he loves it very much, so his skin would get bruises here and there easily, but his skin had never been broken. This kind of wound caused by insects was the first time he had ever had one.

Er Yuehong's trick of coaxing children is particularly useful to him. It is probably the most useful thing besides giving candy.

Qi Tiezui pushed the door open and came in to take a look. When he first saw Jinnian sitting up, he was startled and immediately pounced on him.

He lay on the edge of the bed, wailing.

“Jinnian…my little Jinnian…wuwuwu…”

After being howled at by him, Jinnian's eyes were filled with confusion, and he was so scared that he hugged Er Yuehong even tighter.

When Jinnian was wondering if he was dead, a magnetic voice came in and started to curse.

"Master Ba, you have a great voice, don't you? Why don't you go help the adjutant train the new recruits? It will be a good opportunity for you to exercise your body."

"Hey, Master Buddha... no need, no need... I'm just happy to see Xiao Jinnian alive!"

Qi Tiezui wiped away his fake tears, grabbed Jinnian's other hand, and held it against his face as a shield. It would be better for him to die than to become a new recruit. How could his small body bear it?

Er Yuehong ignored them and re-combed Jinnian's hair which had been scattered due to her excessive movement.

"Niannian, what's going on?"

When Jinnian thought back on it, his face turned red with embarrassment, half of which was his own fault. He buried his face in Er Yuehong's chest and told the whole story in a muffled voice, including the strange little bug.

Jinnian apologized silently.

Er Yuehong dug out his head and knocked on his head.

"Don't trust others easily. You never know what they are hiding under their skin."

After all, it was Jinnian who helped Er Yuehong block it, otherwise, the box would have been opened sooner or later. They lived too comfortably and relaxed their vigilance against the outside world. Or, they did not expect that who would dare to take action against the head of the Nine Gates?

Zhang Qishan looked at Jinnian who was looking at him eagerly, walked forward and pinched his face. It was soft and felt very good.

"Little lucky star, you are saved."
