Sudden cold wind

Yazhi went to find Xiaoyue and Zhongbo. Just a few steps away from home, she saw an old man and a young boy coming back with a lantern.

Buying medicine is not a troublesome thing. The reason why Xiaoyue went for so long was because something strange happened in the medicine shop in Yulin County.

All the medicine shops are missing a Chinese medicine - houttuynia cordata.

Houttuynia cordata is a relatively rare Chinese medicine with the effect of detoxification and ventilation. In the prescription given by Qin Huairou, houttuynia cordata is an indispensable herb as a medicine guide.

Coincidentally, other medicinal materials such as angelica, chuanxiong, dried ginger, and licorice are available, but houttuynia cordata is said to be sold out.

At first, Xiaoyue didn't think it was strange, but when she asked three or four medicine shops in a row, she became a little suspicious.

All medicine shops are the same, there is no "houttuynia cordata".

To say that houttuynia cordata is indeed a relatively rare Chinese medicine, but it is not a rare treasure that is out of stock. Any drugstore will have some, and few people need it on a daily basis.

Because houttuynia cordata has a strong smell and a mild effect, it is effective for many difficult and complicated diseases, but the effect is not fast, and it is extremely smelly, so few people are willing to use it as medicine.

In the end, Xiaoyue went to most of the drugstores in Yulin County, and without exception, there was no houttuynia cordata.

Xiaoyue told Xia Shang what she saw and heard.

Xia Shang immediately understood that it seemed that the person who injured Shangguan Chan knew the power of his poisonous handprint and knew that houttuynia cordata must be used to detoxify, so he bought houttuynia cordata first.

After listening to Xia Shang's analysis, Xiaoyue didn't care to blame the young master for peeping at the girl taking a bath. She asked with a horrified face: "Young master, what should we do? Will she die?"

Xia Shang thought for a while: "Do your best and leave it to fate. Since you are saving people, just do it with a clear conscience. Use whatever medicine you have and do what you should do. It depends on the woman's luck."

...

It takes some time to boil the medicine, but it is already dark and you can't tell the time.

Yazhi and Xiaoyue have been busy all day, and they are girls, so they seem a little overwhelmed and keep yawning.

Seeing that there is nothing to do, Xia Shang asked them to rest first.

The newly built house is basically completed, the walls and roof have been fixed, and only the decoration is left. So the two can stay in the new house temporarily, and two new beds are installed inside. Although it is a bit simple, it is also very comfortable.

Zhong Bo replaced Yazhi, boiling water while boiling medicine.

People who work hard for a long time are indeed more efficient at work. Even if they look after both sides, they are not messy at all, and they will not be tired.

Another half hour passed, and Xia Shang had to bring water to the house again. Zhong Bo also boiled the medicine and gave it to Xia Shang to rest.

Pushing the door open again, there was still such a thick mist. Everything seemed unchanged, but when Xia Shang stepped in, he suddenly tripped over something.

Because he was unprepared, Xia Shang fell directly to the ground, and all the water he was holding was poured out, all on Xia Shang himself.

Fortunately, the water was warm, otherwise Xia Shang would be scalded to death.

"What is it?!"

Xia Shang got up cursing, and he didn't have time to care about the water all over his body. He immediately turned around to see what tripped him.

There was no light in the thatched house, and it was late at night, and there was mist all over the house, so the vision was very blurry.

There was nothing to be seen at the entrance, so Xia Shang could only reach out and touch. Soon, he touched a wooden tube with warm water inside.

Xia Shang rubbed his eyes, leaned forward and took a closer look, and was shocked.

"Isn't this the basin I just brought in? Why is it still at the door?"

The next second, Xia Shang felt ominous.

The basin was still at the door, proving that Shangguan Chan had not touched it just now.

Recalling the strange feeling before, he felt that it was a bit strange that Shangguan Chan did not respond. When he wanted to see, he was interrupted by Xiaoyue who suddenly came back, and then he forgot about it.

"Miss Shangguan! Miss Shangguan..."

Xia Shang tried to call twice, but there was no response.

"Hey, if you are still alive, make a sound, otherwise I will come in to see."

Still no response.

"Miss, I am doing this for your safety. Please forgive me for any offense. Xia is about to come in."

There was no sound. No need to ask, something must have happened.

Xia Shang didn't think much and felt the wall all the way to the back of the screen.

After staying in the dark for a long time, his vision gradually adapted to the current environment. In the hazy mist, he could vaguely see a huge bathtub.

This is the large bathtub made of fragrant pear wood selected by Xia Shang, which is large enough to accommodate three people.

Note that it can accommodate three people, and there are naturally some unspeakable secrets.

The bathtub is too big, and no one can be seen for a while. Xia Shang moved closer to the edge of the bathtub, and then he saw Shangguan Chan!

Shangguan Chan's body was still soaking in the water, with only one head exposed above the water, slightly lowered, messy, and motionless.

"Miss Shangguan! Shangguan Chan! Big-breasted girl!"

Xia Shang panicked this time, thinking that she was really dead, right?

He wanted to reach out to grab it, but when his hand touched the water in the basin, Xia Shang's face changed!

"It's so cold!"

The whole room was steaming, but the water in the bathtub was as cold as ice.

Reaching into the water and grabbing Shangguan Chan's shoulders, Xia Shang's heart sank even more.

How could this be a human body? It was clearly a piece of solid ice! There was no trace of life, even a dead person couldn't be so cold!

Even if Xia Shang had more knowledge, he couldn't explain what was happening at this moment.

While he was in a daze, the woman in the water suddenly moved!

"Who!"

I don't know where this woman got the strange power from, she suddenly grabbed Xia Shang's hand and pulled it down, and Xia Shang fell upside down into the basin.

The feeling at this time is indescribable.

When he was outside the basin, the steam in the room was thick, the indoor temperature was very high, and it was very stuffy, which made Xia Shang sweat.

But the basin was indeed a completely opposite world.

The water was as cold as an ice spring.

It felt like falling from a sauna into the Antarctic sea.

In an instant, Xia Shang's head buzzed, and the strong temperature difference made his brain pause for a moment. When he came to his senses, he had been lifted up by the collar by the woman and stuck his head out of the water.

"Huh..."

Xia Shang took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, a small hand like an iron clamp was stuck on Xia Shang's neck.

"Uh... uh..."

This time he really felt the threat of death. Shangguan Chan was obviously the last blow when she was confused. This was an instinctive reaction. She didn't know who was next to her.

Xia Shang wanted to speak out his identity, but he couldn't utter a word. He only felt that the hand holding his neck was getting closer and closer, and soon he was not conscious.

Xia Shang didn't believe it, didn't believe that he would die in such an unclear way!

He hadn't tasted his wife yet, hadn't taken in the rich and famous prostitute, hadn't watched the little maid grow up yet, and the unruly student was still waiting for him to discipline...

With so many unfinished business waiting for him, how could he die like this? !

When Xia Shang was about to lose consciousness, the feeling of suffocation suddenly disappeared, and a cold and delicate body fell into his arms.
