Shen Cha has a very strong self-healing ability. After lying in bed for more than ten days, the injury on his back was almost healed. Coupled with Jin Miaomiao's magical ointment, not a single scar was left.
My physical strength has also recovered well. Although I can't wield a knife or a gun, or fight with Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, I can still go out for a walk. The only fly in the ointment is that Shen Cha has always felt that his energy has not been good these days, and he never gets enough sleep. As soon as he sits down, he will feel sleepy. If no one talked to her, she would fall asleep in a short time.
At the beginning, everyone didn't take it seriously when they saw Shen Cha always looking sleepy. Even Jin Miaomiao said he didn't need to worry about it. After all, he had suffered such a serious injury. In just ten days, , to have recovered to the current level is already incredible. In fact, it will take at least half a month to truly recover and return to the previous state.
But reality slapped Jin Miaomiao hard. Half a month later, Shen Cha's condition not only showed no signs of improvement, but became even more serious. Half a month ago I could go out for a walk, but now I am really awake for twelve hours a day, at most two hours, and I spend the rest of the time sleeping. I don’t even want to eat, I just want to lie in bed.
Seeing Shen Cha like this, not only Shen Haolin was anxious, Jin Miaomiao was also depressed. As the only descendant of the Poison Doctor, she didn't understand what was going on with Shen Cha, which was an embarrassment to her master and the sect. However, no matter whether it was taking the pulse or checking the wound, no problem could be found. Everything was normal, but Shen Cha's spirit was getting worse day by day.
"My lord, Sister Miao Miao!" Merlin carefully held the medicine, looked at Shen Cha lying on the bed, and whispered, "The general's medicine is ready."
"I'll do it!" Shen Haolin took the medicine bowl, walked to the bed and sat down, patting Shen Cha gently, "Cha, wake up, get up and drink the medicine."
Shen Cha, who was half asleep, frowned in disgust when he heard the word "medicine". He instinctively turned over and faced Shen Haolin with the back of his head, expressing his protest with practical actions.
"..." Shen Haolin looked helplessly at the back of Shen Cha's head, sighed, and patted her shoulder again, "Oh, don't act like a child. If you don't take medicine, how can you get better?"
"I hate it, don't do it!" Shen Cha muttered and pulled up the quilt to cover his head to block out the noise from the outside world.
"Master Guo, wait a minute!" Looking at the medicine in Shen Haolin's hand, Jin Miaomiao had an idea and ran to Shen Haolin and snatched the medicine bowl from his hand.
"What? There's something wrong with the medicine?" Shen Haolin frowned, "Didn't you prescribe this?"
"We don't know yet, we need to check." Jin Miaomiao approached the medicine bowl, smelled it, raised her head and asked Merlin standing at the door, "Is the medicine residue still there?"
"Yes." Merlin nodded, turned around and walked out the door. Not long after, he came back with a black medicine pot.
"Put it on the table!" Shen Haolin emptied his desk, put everything on it on the floor, and asked Merlin to spread a piece of oil paper on the table, and pour all the dregs from the medicine pot onto the oil paper.
Jin Miaomiao handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Merlin, walked to the desk, and rummaged through it carefully. After a stick of incense, she picked out a handful of something that looked like a twig from the pile of medicinal dregs and raised her eyebrows at Shen Haolin.
"What's this?"
“Something that can put patients who have trouble falling asleep quickly to sleep.”
"I know this." Shen Haolin nodded, "A few years ago, when your master was still at Jiaping Pass, he used similar medicine on me."
"Yes, you were restless during that time and couldn't sleep for more than ten days. Xiaocha was worried and asked the master for help. The master prescribed similar prescriptions for you. These medicines are not harmful to the human body, so they don't count. What kind of poison, but if you take it for a long time, it will make people feel very tired and sleepy, and they can fall asleep anytime and anywhere, just like a little tea."
"Sister Miao Miao, isn't this the sweat medicine!" Merlin looked at the handful of branches seriously, "But if it is the sweat medicine, the general will not fall for it. We did this in the training camp. Specially trained.”
"Wrong, this is not Mongolian sweat medicine. This thing is much more expensive than Mongolian sweat medicine, and it is difficult to find. Don't look at it. It's not worth a thousand gold, but it's about the same." Jin Miaomiao stood up straight and sneered, "This kind of The medicine is colorless and odorless. If you use it sparingly, it will be tainted with the smell of other medicines. If you don’t check the medicine residue, you won’t notice it at all.”
"Do you think this person is a master?"
"At least he is very proficient in pharmacology." Jin Miaomiao looked at the pile of branches, "This thing is basically extinct in our country. Firstly, the price is too high. Secondly, there are no suitable medicinal materials for this kind of medicine in our country. The environment in which I grew up. I remember my master once said that he had never seen it a few times in his life, and he didn’t know what kind of god could have so many people and mix it into every medicine in Xiaocha."
"Merlin, go get Chen Jiu."
"Yes." Merlin responded and hurried to the military camp.
Jin Miaomiao walked to the bed and put her fingers on Shen Cha's wrist. After a long time, she sighed softly.
"Don't worry, the other party didn't release much. It seems they are worried about being discovered." She smiled at Shen Haolin, "As long as you stop the medicine, you will get better slowly. There will be nothing wrong with Xiaocha. reaction." Across the quilt, Jin Miaomiao poked Shen Cha, "This time, her wish came true, and she finally doesn't need to take medicine."
"Keep your word, you can't force me to drink disgusting medicinal soup anymore." I don't know when Shen Cha woke up. She lifted the quilt, slowly sat up from the bed, and looked at Shen Haolin, " Brother, give me a bowl of water."
"When did you wake up?" Shen Haolin quickly poured a bowl of water and handed it over, "You didn't always know there was something wrong with the medicine, right?"
"I just had this feeling a few days ago, so I'm not sure. What I heard you say just now makes me feel right, and I can take action." Shen Cha drank all the water in the bowl and wiped his mouth, "I'm right I am very sensitive to medicines, and my brother knows this, so I have always been against taking medicines. I didn’t feel it a few days ago because I hadn’t recovered well, but the feeling has returned in the past two days. I instinctively hate this medicine. In fact, I can guess which medicine it is from without calling it Xiaojiu."
"You know?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "How did you know?"
"You only know that this thing is rare in our Daxia, but you don't know that in the Kingdom of Jin, it is sold in every pharmacy. This medicine was included in the prescription that Master Huilan gave to his brother. He told me that in In our Jiaping Pass, only Tongjitang has one. So, I sent people to keep an eye on this pharmacy. Over the years, we have never relaxed." She looked at Shen Haolin, who had an ugly face, "Brother, are you angry?"
"Shouldn't you be angry? You clearly knew there was something wrong with the medicine, but you refused to tell me."
Shen Haolin waved to Jin Miaomiao and asked her to go out first. He had something to say to Shen Cha.
Jin Miaomiao left knowingly and stopped Mei Lin and Shen Jiu outside the door. The Duke of Guo obviously wanted to settle a score with Shen Chaqiu. At this time, it was wise to leave the two of them alone.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't hide it from you, but I have my own considerations. Brother, can you allow me to explain?" Sensing that Shen Haolin was really angry, Shen Cha sighed and reached out to grab his sleeve. Said, "This matter is of great importance. If we don't have conclusive evidence, the other party will not admit it. Instead, it will bite us, which is not a good thing for us."
"you're right."
Shen Haolin had to admit that Shen Cha's concerns were right. People with high positions and powerful positions were jealous of others. This has been true since ancient times. If you don't act cautiously and allow someone to catch your tail, it won't really hurt them, but it will distract them. attention. The generals of the Shen family army are afraid of trouble from top to bottom, so they will not get into trouble because of trivial matters.
"Another point is that Jiapingguan City is an important border town. What the officials and people in the city are worried about is that we will unknowingly accuse us of collaborating with the enemy and treason. A similar thing has already happened here, and I don't want it to happen again. The second time, I don’t want my brother to be charged with false accusations.”
"You just think too much and make yourself so tired." Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha into his arms and said with some distress, "Now I regret agreeing to my father to hand over the shadow." you. "
"Brother?"
"Don't be nervous. I don't doubt you. I just feel sorry for you. There are more things to deal with than I thought. You are basically responsible for the daily affairs of our Shen family. You are also responsible for Shadow. You also have to worry about the city. situation. In comparison, Xiaotian and I are like idle young men who don’t know how to do anything except fight."
"My brother shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the border. If such a small thing bothers him anymore, what's the use of me as a deputy general? As for Shadow, that is His Majesty's order and my father's last wish. I will naturally take it seriously." Shen Cha raised his head. , smiled at Shen Haotian, "Brother, I thought this was not only a place where we were stationed, but also our home. The people in the city were also our family members. We have to ensure their safety, right?"
"Yes, everything you said is right!" Shen Haolin sighed, "I can't help you. If anyone wants to say that you are clumsy and clumsy in the future, I will firmly oppose it."
"Compared with Miaomiao, she is really not good at words."
"You're too modest. Jin Miaomiao is a talker and all you talk is nonsense. You don't like to talk, but you usually hit the nail on the head." Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha tightly, "But your evidence is not enough. Tongjitang alone has Can we conclude that this kind of medicinal material has contacts with the Kingdom of Jin?"
"What caught my attention was not the medicinal materials, but the whereabouts. My brother probably didn't pay attention to it. Most of the drug stores in the city purchase goods during the day, so that the quality of the medicinal materials can be seen clearly. I asked Miaomiao and got a positive answer. But Tongjitang But they are a minority. From the day it opened, they have always purchased goods at night. The delivery team rested in the backyard of the drug store for one night. They were the first batch to leave the city after the city gate opened in the morning. I sent people to follow the team several times, but they disappeared when they approached the Kingdom of Jin. Not seen. Also, there are frequent contacts between drug stores in the city, but Tongjitang is an outlier and never interacts with its peers. Even when there is an occasional epidemic in the city, other companies participate in the treatment, but his family's door is closed. "
"You have long been aware of the abnormality of Tongjitang, but you have no chance to take action. So, this time, you are going to use the trick. Are you going to take the opportunity to seize their handle and catch them all?"
"Yes. Xiao Wu has already taken people to copy the shop. Calculating the time, he should be back soon." Shen Cha smiled helplessly, "If Tongji Hall is really the stopping point of the Jin Kingdom's spies, then we have to take a good Thank you Xiao Liu. It was a great deal to capture the spies of Liao and Jin in one injury."
