Su Qiqi looked at the room full of people unwillingly, and suddenly focused on Zheng Miao. Maybe the ancient medical book she collected could come in handy?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly walked to Zheng Miao and expressed her thoughts. Zheng Miao agreed with her thoughts. She went back to the house to find the ancient medical book and started flipping through the pages. When she was about to finish flipping through the page, she suddenly stopped and said with a look of surprise on her face: "Yes, Master Huikong is saved!"

Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Granny Cui and others gathered around, took a look at the prescription, and then said in frustration: "It's so late, where can I find all these uncommon medicinal materials..."

Zheng Miao said: "I have all these medicinal materials. In order to test the prescriptions in this ancient medical book when I went out this time, I specially brought some rare medicinal materials that are not commonly used in daily life, but the quantity is not large. I don't know if it will be enough..."

Grandma Cui said: "Girl, please quickly bring the medicinal materials to me and take a look..."

Zheng Miao went back to the house and brought her usual stock of pharmaceuticals. Granny Cui took inventory and said, "It's enough. I'll make some medicine. You can fry it and give it to Master Huikong. You should be fine in two hours." Already..."

When everyone heard what she said, their mood suddenly cheered up. Qin Chuan volunteered to cook the medicine. Grandma Cui glanced at him with a pleased expression, and then concentrated on preparing the medicine.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and Qin Chuan took the medicine prepared by Granny Cui and went to the inn kitchen to cook it. Su Qiqi also went over to help him. The two of them chatted around the medicine stove.

"Su'er, do you still remember what happened when you were a child?" Qin Chuan looked at Su'er's delicate face and said with a smile.

"Uh, I... can't remember..." Su Qiqi tried hard to search for the remaining memories of the original owner while thinking about how to better deal with Qin Chuan's problem.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Su Qiqi asked curiously.

Qin Chuan smiled, turned to look at the wisps of white smoke rising from the medicine stove, and said to himself: "I haven't seen my mother since I was sensible... My father said that when I was very young, I My mother died of illness... Later, my father married my second mother. Although my second mother treated me and Wanrou as her own children, I always have some regrets in my heart..."

Su Qiqi looked at Qin Chuan and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Seeing how carefree he looks every day, I didn't expect that he also has such a fragile side. She was about to say something to comfort Qin Chuan, but she saw Granny Cui walking in.

Su Qiqi swallowed back the words that came to her lips and just greeted Granny Cui politely. Granny Cui responded lightly, turned to look at Qin Chuan and said, "Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you..." After that, she turned around and left.

Qin Chuan looked at Granny Cui's back in confusion, was stunned for a moment, and said to Su Qiqi: "Su'er, you look at the medicine first, I'll be right back..." After that, he walked out of the kitchen.

Su Qiqi looked at the direction in which the two people were leaving, and began to ponder in confusion. Does Granny Cui have anything important to do with Qin Chuan? Why can't you say it to her face?

Outside the kitchen, there is a small courtyard. Several pines and cypresses are planted in the corner of the courtyard, which is already like a canopy. Granny Cui walked out of the kitchen and didn't stop until she was under the shade of a tree. Qin Chuan approached her and asked, "What's wrong with you calling me out?"

Granny Cui paused, took out a pair of jade bis from her arms, handed them to Qin Chuan and said, "This is what Nian Chen left for you and Rou'er... You should put it away..."

Qin Chuan took it and looked at it carefully. He saw that the jade was crystal clear and very elegant. It also had a string of tassels tied on it and words engraved on it. The word "福" and the word "安". It roughly means praying for happiness and peace. Qin Chuan held the two pieces of jade, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

He hesitated for a while and asked: "Grandma, is the Yao Nianchen you are talking about my deceased mother?" This time it was Grandma Cui's turn to be surprised, but she soon regained her calm expression and said, "Yes, she She is your biological mother and the sister of the Lord of the Seven Star Castle...it is a pity that God is jealous of the beauty..." Granny Cui said, unable to help but choke up.

Qin Chuan patted her back gently, trying to comfort Granny Cui's sad mood. After a while, seeing that Granny Cui's mood had softened, Qin Chuan asked tentatively: "Mother-in-law, are you and my mother good friends?" Granny Cui shook her head and said, "I am your mother's personal maid. You were taken in by the Yao family when you were young, and you and your mother went to Mount Emei to learn martial arts for a few years... Later, you were married to the Qin family with your mother. After your mother passed away, I took you and Rou'er for two years. Later, I married Er. Madam, I left the Qin family..."

Qin Chuan couldn't help feeling a little sad as he listened to Granny Cui's memories. Looking at Granny Cui, whose hair was as white as frost, he secretly made up his mind to take good care of the old man in front of him. He would never let her wander alone in the rivers and lakes and suffer all kinds of hardships.

Thinking of this, he said to Granny Cui gently: "Grandma, let me take care of you from now on..." Granny Cui smiled happily: "It's enough for you to have this intention. My body is still strong, and I don't want to trouble you. And Miss Nangong..." At this point, the smile in Granny Cui's eyes deepened.

Qin Chuan felt guilty. Could it be that Granny Cui saw that he liked Su Qiqi? Qin Chuan did not dare to look directly into Granny Cui's eyes. He looked around and said, "Well, Granny, let me see if the medicine is ready."

Granny Cui nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll go over and let Master Huikong feel your pulse..."

After that, the two said goodbye and walked away.

In the kitchen, Su Qiqi had cooked the medicine and was about to take it to Master Huikong. As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen threshold, she saw Qin Chuan had finished talking to Granny Cui and was walking towards her. So, she stopped and looked at Qin Chuan with a smile. The sadness on Qin Chuan's face was wiped away, and a bright smile appeared.

Back in the guest room, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan gave Master Huikong some medicine and helped him lie down to rest. Although Master Huikong was still very weak, his spirit had become slightly clearer, and he told the two of them intermittently how he had been injured.

It turned out that Su Qiqi and others left the inn last night to assist Qin Chuan and had not returned for a long time. Master Huikong waited and waited. The longer he waited, the more uneasy he became, so he returned to his room, preparing to take out the star gathering chart and the glass lamp to learn how to make it. The whereabouts and good or bad luck of everyone. When Master Huikong was preparing to do the method, he suddenly felt an inexplicable cramp in his stomach. He hurriedly went out and ran to the toilet in the backyard. When he returned to the guest room, he found that a thief had broken into the room. The room was turned into a mess. He was about to call someone. , but was stabbed by a man in black who suddenly appeared with a dagger inlaid with colorful gems. Fortunately, other guests passed by at the critical moment, and the man in black left in a hurry, and he was able to go to Sun Hufa for help...

After listening to Master Huikong's words, Su Qiqi was secretly afraid. She blamed herself for not thinking carefully and almost killed Master Huikong. You must be more meticulous in your work in the future, and arrange more manpower next time to protect the safety of the master and the young master.

Qin Chuan also had a guilty look on his face. He walked slowly to Su Qiqi and said, "You and Wanrou should go to rest first. I will guard the master tonight..."

Seeing how determined he was, Su Qiqi exited the room with Zheng Miao, Granny Cui and others.

It was still dark outside the house, and it started to rain lightly at some point, making it even more chilly. Su Qiqi looked at this deep and lonely world, praying silently in her heart that everything would get better.
