Chapter 715: Did he bring the Compendium of Materia Medica h

er your mouth and stare at him, "You dog, I told you to gnaw on the skin."He immediately pulled her hand away upon hearing Fang Jinshu describe the injury and leaned in to examine it."Where did it bre...Fang Jinshi smiled and placed her hand on Zong Yu's back, her fingertips gently caressing. She looked straight into the handsome face so close to hers.

"So confident in me."

Zongyu grabbed her hand that was sneaking around and making trouble, placing it in his palm to gently knead. He then lay down, hooking his arm around her waist and pulling her into his embrace.

Fan Jinxiu abruptly straightened up and pressed her body against Zong Yu's chest.

"That means I'll have to waste a lot of time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it home for the New Year. Mother will be worried."

Zongyu reached out and patted her on the back, soothing her a few times.

"Without hindrance, before the auction, she had asked someone to give a letter to Yu Lian. She would tell her mother."

Zoneyu paused for a moment, then thought of something, "The one upstairs doesn't seem to be Daxixi."

Fang Jinshu was surprised and widened her eyes slightly, "What How did you tell"

"Hand."

"What's wrong with your hand"

"Most people who study martial arts in Daxia primarily focus on swords, spears, and blades. The calluses on their hands are usually located on the knuckles and palms."

"The person upstairs, when you were feeling his pulse, I glanced at his palm. His calluses were actually between the fingers, on the side."

“This is the mark left by long-term practice of concealed weapons.”

Many years ago, there were also several similar outsiders in town. They were accustomed to using boomerangs as their weapons.

"Actually, I'm not particularly sure either."

"No, you probably guessed right."

To know if the person lying upstairs is a foreigner, we might have to start with Gu Liusheng.

But my reputation is truly remarkable. Just by looking at the location of the calluses on his hands, you can deduce so much.

Fāng Jǐnxù sat up, the smile on her face suddenly fading.

"Once we successfully get our hands on those 100,000 stones of grain, let's head straight home."

"The people I've been meeting recently, each one more mysterious than the last. I always have a bad feeling about this."

Fang Jinxiu didn't want to get involved in trouble. She originally planned to build a solid cooperative relationship with Gu Liusheng by helping the sleeping beauty upstairs detoxify.

Now she has changed her mind.

As a foreigner and the child of royalty, she wouldn't have enough lives to navigate among these people.

Let's get this done quickly.

Dinner was personally delivered by Gu Liu Sheng. The security level of this small courtyard is really high, he didn't even let a single servant in.

Wouldn't even his closest confidants know about the sleeping beauty

When Gu Liusheng came to deliver food, Fang Jinshi told him that she would start working on the antidote tomorrow. His expression visibly excited.

But Fang Jinshu still wanted to remind him of one thing.

You know how dangerous the poison in him is.

Once detoxification begins, there is a risk of death at any time.

"I need to check your apothecary's stock of herbs first."

Of course Gu Liu Sheng knew what Fang Jinxiu was talking about. Without saying a word, he took Fang Jinxiu to the pharmacy on the first floor. Behind this small building was also a three-mu patch of medicinal herb field.

Inside, various kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs are planted.

Upon entering the pharmacy, Fang Jinshu couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment.

Those darn rich people, the pharmacy is built like a library, how many shelves of medicinal herbs are there!

Each shelf has five layers, and each layer holds ten kinds of herbs.

Each medicine box is labeled with the corresponding name of the herb, and these herbs are not placed randomly. They are categorized according to their properties.

Fang Jinshi couldn't wait to rush in and take a spin, like a mouse that had fallen into a grain bin, you couldn't be more excited.

It was her ignorance. The world of the rich and the world of ordinary people, there really is a wall between them.

Gu Liusheng even stored here some things she thought shouldn't exist in this time, including drugs with a similar anesthetic effect.

He must have brought all of the Compendium of Materia Medica home.

"If these medicines are not enough for Madam Zong, there are more in the backyard."

Fang Jinshi clutched a box of dried seahorses in her hand, momentarily stunned. Then, she quickly withdrew her greedy gaze and pushed the box back into its place.

With a natural expression, she walked back to Liu Sheng's side, not showing at all how excited and turbulent her heart was at this moment.

"Oh, and there's a backyard too."

"Boss Gu, lead the way. Let me see what other medicinal herbs there are."

Zongyu, who was following the two behind, twitched his lips slightly. Every time Jinxiu lusted after something, she always appeared calmer than usual.

He stared intently at the shelves lined with medicinal herbs, lost in thought for a moment.

Perhaps there could be a pharmacy like this in the Jinshiu Mountain Villa as well. and followed his wife into the restaurant.After the two sat down, Fang Jinxiu called for the waiter. Zong Yu, though he had been to the county town before, had never wandered around or eaten in a res...
