Chapter 277 - 277: Reminder
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she suddenly realized something.
“The owner of the poisoned horse you mentioned previously is Elder Xu? Elder Xu was poisoned?”
Luo Cheng nodded and reminded her again.
“That’s right. You have to boil this medicine slowly on low fire, so you can’t leave. Remember, you can’t let it leave your sight. If this medicine isn’t boiled strictly according to my instructions, the effect will change. The life-saving medicine might become a poison that kills him!”
When Li Xiaoran heard how important it was, she immediately took note and nodded.
“Husband, don’t worry! I’ll definitely handle it well!”
Luo Cheng nodded and led Li Xiaoran towards a room at the back of the house.
When Luo Cheng opened the door and Li Xiaoran followed him in, she realized that it was like another world in here.
“This place is actually filled with herbs! I almost thought I had entered a pharmacy!” Li Xiaoran looked at everything in front of her and said in surprise.
“This is my pharmaceutical room. I made all the medicine you used in the past!” Luo Cheng said as he took out a piece of paper. Then he grabbed the small weighing stick and began to retrieve herbs.
Because he had prescribed the medicine himself, Luo Cheng grabbed all the needed herbs quickly.
Li Xiaoran watched Luo Cheng in surprise.
It turned out that Luo Cheng really didn’t lie to her. He really knew medicine, and his medical skills were very brilliant!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran began to walk around the pharmacy and look at the things placed in the room.
On Luo Cheng’s side, there were rows of cabinets filled with various herbs.
In the middle, there were several long platforms.
There were long tables made of wood and stone tables. There were also shelves around them.
Li Xiaoran walked over and saw that there were various tools on the shelf.
Further in, there were various medicine bottles on the shelves. Each bottle had words written on it.
However, what was written on the medicine bottles were not names, but numbers.
Perhaps only Luo Cheng knew what these numbers meant.
That was a good precaution. Even if someone stole these medicine bottles, he wouldn’t know what they were for.
“How is it? Are you impressed by your husband?” At this moment, Luo Cheng’s voice sounded.
Li Xiaoran turned around and saw Luo Cheng walking over with a bag of medicine.
“That’s right. My husband is so impressive! If the people in the village knew that my husband is not only a capable hunter but also a rich man and a doctor with very brilliant medical skills, I wonder if they would regret it. If they had known that you were so capable, they would have established a good relationship with you back then!” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and said.
Luo Cheng was amused by Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret it! Now, everything I have belongs to a young lady called Li Xiaoran!”
With that, Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran out of the pharmacy.
“Some of the things here are poisonous. You’re not familiar with herbs, so don’t come in without me! I’m afraid you’ll accidentally touch something and I won’t be able to save you in time!”
Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t come in without you! I understand. I won’t take the risk. Some things, when they’re separated, are two safe and non-poisonous herbs. But if they’re mixed together, they’ll become lethal poison! I’m still young and want to live for a few more years. I can’t die here!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was on guard in this aspect, Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that he would encounter someone who refused to listen to his advice and would cause trouble.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoran wasn’t such a person!
At this moment, Luo Cheng reached out and rubbed Li Xiaoran’s head.
“Thank you, wife!”
“Thank me for what?” Li Xiaoran tilted her head and asked Luo Cheng. “Thank you. Thank you for being so understanding!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she realized something and reached out to hold his hand with a smile.
“Silly! I’m your wife, someone who wants to accompany you for the rest of our lives. Naturally, I have to understand you! Besides, medicine is a field I don’t know much about, so there will definitely be many dangers inside that I don’t know about. For my own good, you don’t want me to wander around on my own. I have to abide by it!”
With that, Li Xiaoran changed the topic.
“Husband, Elder Xu is poisoned, so is there anything he can’t eat?”
Luo Cheng thought about it carefully and said, “Don’t give him any pickled vegetables, sour things, or smoked things like sauerkraut and cured meat. There’s nothing else he can’t eat. By the way, the poison he’s poisoned with has a chilling effect, so if he eats some chili, it might have some beneficial effects!”
Li Xiaoran remembered Luo Cheng’s words and thought about what to prepare when she cooked later.
“Are you guys coming back for lunch?”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Because we have to go to town to buy a lot of things, we’ll just eat out at noon. You don’t have to stress over what to cook for lunch. Just cook whatever you like!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to the kitchen with Luo Cheng to brew medicine.
Luo Cheng explained what to pay attention to when brewing medicine. After confirming that Li Xiaoran remembered, he went to town with Elder Xu.
After everyone left, the house became empty and Li Xiaoran was alone.
Big Yellow probably knew that Li Xiaoran was very lonely, so it ran to Li Xiaoran’s side and silently accompanied her.
“Big Yellow, where did your buddies go?” Li Xiaoran asked as she watched the fire.
Big Yellow thought for a moment and barked at Li Xiaoran. Then, it made a paddling motion in front of Li Xiaoran.
“Huh? Your brothers went into the water?” Li Xiaoran understood what Big Yellow meant and asked in surprise.
Big Yellow nodded and rubbed against Li Xiaoran’s leg.
From Big Yellow’s meaning, it seemed to be indicating that Li Xiaoran could follow it to go take a look.
“Big Yellow, I can’t leave! My husband said that when I’m brewing medicine here, I can’t leave!”
Big Yellow seemed to understand what Li Xiaoran meant. After thinking for a
while, it turned around and ran out.
Li Xiaoran thought that Big Yellow had gone out to play by itself, so she didn’t mind and continued to look after the medicine pot on the stove.
Before long, Big Yellow ran back with a bone in its mouth and barked at Li Xiaoran.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran was immediately amused. “What? Are you asking me to stew bones for you?” Big Yellow nodded and stared at Li Xiaoran.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly realized something. Why did Big Yellow’s stomach seem bigger than usual?
