"How long can I live with a five hundred tael of silver notes?" Gu Jingzhi asked. The silver notes he gave have been used to buy one hundred and eighty houses similar to hers.
Li Xi didn't feel embarrassed at all when he pointed it out so bluntly, "Five hundred taels of silver won't last you a lifetime. Leave as soon as your injuries are better."
He was still young, and based on her previous examinations and her medical skills, the wound on his abdomen would probably be healed in another seven to eight days.
Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi deeply and said, "Okay."
There is no news about him from his father, and he is still needed at the border. He really doesn't have much time to waste here.
"Okay, deal." After saying this, Li Xi opened the cabinet on the side and took out a small porcelain bottle, which contained her special secret medicine and a large piece of white cloth 20 centimeters wide.
The white cloth strip has been washed. She bought it specially when she went to Jiangning City last time. She bought it to use as a menstrual belt. She didn't expect it to be an advantage for him.
"Take off your clothes." Li Xi took the porcelain vase and the white cloth strip and walked to the kang and sat down.
Gu Jingzhi paused and unbuttoned his shirt.
Seeing his serious look, Li Xi deliberately teased him and said, "Don't be nervous. Anyway, you have already seen everything you should and shouldn't see yesterday."
Gu Jingzhi:......
He looked at the yellow-haired girl in front of him who was teasing him. For the first time, he felt at a loss for words and could only sit and watch her walk in.
Li Xi leaned over to untie the cloth strips wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and Li Xi took a look at his wounds.
There was no bleeding anymore, but it still looked a bit scary. Fortunately, the sword that stabbed him was relatively thin, so the width of the wound was not very large, which would be helpful for later healing.
Before, the medicine was applied when Gu Jingzhi was unconscious or half asleep. This was the first time Gu Jingzhi saw the wounds on his body.
Looking at the wound that had begun to heal, Gu Jingzhi's eyes changed.
The injury was on his own body. He knew how serious the injury was. Although it was a thin-edged sword that stabbed him, the wound could not be so light.
In fact, he had been vaguely aware of something wrong with the wound since yesterday. He had never suffered injuries similar to this one before, but the pain in the wound would last for several days after treatment, but not this time, especially when he woke up today. , the pain from the wound was a little lighter than yesterday.
Li Xi took a satisfied look at his wound and reapplied the medicine to him. After applying the medicine, Li Xi asked him to sit up straight, unfolded the strip of cloth and wrapped it around his waist and abdomen to tie the wound.
Li Xi was focused on nothing, but Gu Jingzhi's mind was in confusion.
The way Li Xi tied his wounds looked like she was hugging him. Gu Jingzhi smelled a faint scent of herbs on the tip of his nose, and his heart beat faster unconsciously.
Tying gauze was something Li Xi was very familiar with, and it was done in just a few clicks. In the end, she tied a bow at the end in a playful way.
Gu Jingzhi:......
"Okay, just wait, I'll ask Huzi to come over and bring you food later."
With money in hand, Li Xi began to think about collecting medicinal materials. In fact, now is the most suitable time.
The most important thing for farmers is the harvest in the fields. There is nothing to do in the fields now. When the weather gets warmer in a while, the crops in the fields will start to ear.
If we start now, it is better for the villagers to take advantage of their free time to try their luck in the mountains. There must be someone who wants to do this kind of business without capital.
Before that, she had to go to Jiangning City and Fucheng Sucheng first. She had to find a good medicine shop, sign a contract, and then start searching for medicinal materials in the village.
Otherwise, it would be bad if the medicinal materials were used first. Although there was no need to worry about the shelf life of the medicinal materials as long as they were prepared, Li Xi still hoped that he could succeed the first time.
Li Xi is a person with strong mobility. When she wants a goal, she plans to set off to Jiangning City. The two masters and apprentices of Yong'an Hall have good senses for Li Xi. In addition, they have met once and are considered acquaintances, so Li Xi's first target is Yongantang.
As for Sucheng, she hasn't been there yet and needs to go and observe. However, Sucheng is far away from them. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in one day. She probably has to stay there overnight.
But now there is a time bomb in her home. How dare she leave him alone at home? It's good to have her cover, but it would be terrible if someone discovers it.
Gu Yin's identity has always been a problem, but how to solve this problem? Li Xi, who came back after collecting a basket from the mountain, didn't know how to solve it.
But time waits for no one.
Before going to bed at night.
The oil lamp in the house has been extinguished, and the only light source is the moonlight from outside. The moonlight is so bright that it shines into the room like an incandescent lamp.
"I may have to go to Jiangning City and Sucheng in the next few days, and I will ask Huzi to deliver the food to you.
I will also leave the medicine for you, and you can just bandage it yourself.
You should be careful these two days when I feel uncomfortable. "
In the darkness, Gu Jingzhi lowered his eyes when he heard the word Su City, "Yes, I understand."
…
Li Xi must tell Mrs. Liu that he is going out. Jiangning City is easy to talk to. After all, it is quite close. There is also a donkey cart in the village to take people to Jiangning City, which is very convenient.
But Sucheng was different. Li Xi had a feeling that Lady Liu would not agree easily.
Sure enough, when Li Xi mentioned this to Madam Liu after dinner the next day, she met with strong opposition.
"You go to Jiangning City to fool around, but you still plan to go to Su City. Do you know how far is Su City?" Mrs. Liu has been to Jiangning City when she was so old. In her opinion, Jiangning City is already very far away.
Sucheng was almost three Jiangning cities away from them, and she even said she wanted to stay overnight in a little girl's house. How could she let her go with confidence?
Lady Liu and Li Xi are the collision of old and new ideas.
Lady Liu firmly refused, but Li Xi also refused to compromise. Under Li Xi's force, Lady Liu finally reluctantly agreed to Li Xi's request, but she asked that Hu Zi be brought along.
The reason why she asked Li Xi to take Huzi with her was very simple. Firstly, she wanted Huzi to go out and see the world, and secondly, she was worried that something unexpected would happen to her alone. With a child by her side, there would be more people around. A little scruple.
But when she said this, she underestimated Li Xi. Although she had been exercising recently, exercising did not happen overnight. She was still a bad fighter.
In order to protect himself, Li Xi specially developed many medicinal powders with unique effects, waiting for those who are destined to try them.
However, Madam Liu insisted that Li Xi take Hu Zi with him to Sucheng, which caught Li Xi off guard. If he took Hu Zi with him, Gu Yin in the room would be in big trouble.
It seems that we have to think about it in the long term.
