Gu Changfeng did not take the small-scale Huns attack on the border seriously. After all, such things were not uncommon at the border.

Gu Changfeng agreed to Gu Jingzhi's request and asked him to lead a team to rescue the trapped soldiers.

The Huns grew up on horseback and had a reputation for being brave and good at fighting. In order to expand their territory and wealth, they invaded Dayan all year round, plundering food and people.

Among the plundered population were civilians and Dayan soldiers. After capturing Dayan soldiers, the Huns generally did not kill them immediately, but took them back to the grasslands as slaves, and they became slaves or cattle and horses of the Huns.

The Huns were extremely cruel in their methods of taking slaves, so they had to rescue this trapped team as soon as possible, otherwise, once they were taken into the Hun tribe, they would be powerless.

……

The day after Fatty and Feng Tianyou left, both families sent return gifts, which Li Xi accepted. Her life went on as usual. The successful development of the anti-inflammatory drug allowed Li Xi to take a break for a while, without having to stay in the pharmacy all day.

Li Xi believes that after seeing the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs, they will know what kind of talent they are.

That’s right, Li Xi was planning to make himself a rare commodity in order to enhance his personal safety in ancient times.

Li Xi, who had some free time, felt bored for a rare moment. Before, she could go for a walk in the mountains when she was in the village, but now she could only walk around the streets. However, the problem was that there was nothing interesting to see on the streets.

Li Xi remembered her promise to Doctor Wu and took the three remaining anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicines to Yong'an Hall.

More than a month has passed, and Yong'an Hall remains the same.

Shi Tou was dozing off on the counter. He didn't hear any voice from Doctor Wu in the outer room. Li Xi was also curious. She had been here three times, but why were there no customers every time? Was their pharmacy making money?

Li Xi walked over and tapped on the counter with his fingers.

"Who?" Shitou raised his head, and after seeing Li Xi, he lay back lazily, "It's you."

"What? Are you not welcome?" Li Xi wanted to tease Shi Tou every time she saw him.

Shitou pursed his lips, "You won't come if you're not welcome?"

"Of course not."

Shi Tou: ...Then why are you asking this?

"You open the door and open a store to attract people." Li Xi smiled as he looked at his angry face.

"Where's your master?" Li Xi looked towards the inner room. "He went away to be lazy, leaving you, a kid, to look after the shop here."

"You are not allowed to say bad things about my master." Shi Tou glared at her. He was not stupid. He knew that Li Xi was teasing him on purpose. Humph, what a bad taste!

Doctor Wu, who heard the noise outside, came out from the inner room, and when he saw that Li Xi was not carrying the familiar basket, his eyes lit up, "Little girl, have you made the medicine?"

After saying that, he felt that it was impossible. How could he develop it in such a short time? Maybe he came here for something else?

Could it be that he came to ask for advice?

"Yes."

"It doesn't matter if it's not. After all, no one has ever seen Chinese patent medicine before..." Doctor Wu's eyes widened suddenly, "What did you say!"

Li Xi raised the corner of his mouth, "I said I made the medicine."

As she spoke, she took out a small oil-paper bag from her bosom and handed it to him, "Anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicine. It can be applied externally or taken internally. Its main function is to inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogens and reduce inflammatory reactions, thereby achieving the purpose of treating infections."

Doctor Wu frowned slightly. He had only been in Jiangning City for two years. Has the outside world changed so much?

What is she talking about? What are pathogens? How can they grow and multiply?

Doctor Wu couldn't figure it out and didn't try to figure it out, "What is a pathogen?"

"Well, these are all from a book I happened to see before." As for where the book was, he naturally threw it away.

Li Xi did not show any guilt on her face. "The book says that there is a kind of small bug in the air that we cannot see. They are called microorganisms. They are pathogens. When the wound is polluted by the outside world or handled uncleanly, the microorganisms will drill into the wound, causing infection and inflammation.

The inflammation caused by these microorganisms can lead to symptoms such as redness, swelling, oozing fluid, and fever in the wound.”

After listening to Li Xi's description, Doctor Wu looked at Li Xi with shining eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure. He was familiar with the symptoms, but the explanation was new to him. "I don't know where this book is. Can I borrow it to have a look?"

Li Xi smiled. Where? Anyway, it was not in this world. If he wanted to see it, he would have to tear the space apart and go to the modern world.

"This book belongs to a mysterious old man. It was a sunny day when I went to the mountain to collect herbs. I met him in the sacred mountain. He said that I was a destined person and lent me the book. After I finished reading it, he took the book back.

I was just about to thank him when I saw him and his book disappear. "Li Xi said mysteriously, "I think he might be the mountain god of our place."

"Tsk, you're just lying!" Shitou snorted. He didn't believe her. There were no gods in this world.

Doctor Wu did not raise any questions after listening to it. He had indeed never heard of Li Xi's explanation of the pathogen, but the symptoms he described were so appropriate.

Although he had not verified it, he felt that what the book said should be true, and that there really was a kind of substance in this world that they could not see.

"What's so good about this?" Li Xi knew that in ancient times, inheritance was important and the transmission of knowledge relied on kinship or master-apprentice relationships, but she did not intend to treasure it for herself. Knowledge only has value if it is passed on.

"Although the book is gone, I have all the knowledge in it in my mind." Li Xi looked at Doctor Wu, "If Doctor Wu wants to know, we can discuss it together some other day."

It was impossible to memorize them. Those huge volumes were so exhausting that she almost vomited blood.

Doctor Wu bowed to Li Xi solemnly and said, "My friend, you are so righteous. I admire you."

Shitou was shocked, "Master!"

Was his master fooled by Li Xi?

Li Xi hurriedly bowed in return, "Doctor Wu, you are too polite. Knowledge is only valuable when it is spread. The power of one person is limited."

"Knowledge is only valuable when it is spread." Doctor Wu chewed on this sentence, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter. "You are so young, but you have such insights. I am ashamed of myself."

Li Xi: Doctor Wu is a bit of a boaster, he praises me so much that even a shameless person like me feels embarrassed.

Li Xi laughed awkwardly. "Thank you for your praise, Doctor Wu. I'll leave this medicine to you to study. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing the look in Doctor Wu's eyes when he looked at her, Li Xi felt that she couldn't bear it any longer. She was really not as good as he said. Don't over-interpret it. Anyway, the things have been delivered, so she should just run away.

Li Xi wanted to escape, but unfortunately failed.

Just as she was about to leave, there was the sound of horse hooves and exclamations outside the door.

"what!"

"Get out of the way!"

Just when Li Xi was about to go out to watch the excitement, he heard a "whoosh" and a black horse was stopped by its reins at the entrance of Yong'an Hall. A man in armor jumped down immediately. His hair was disheveled and he was covered in dust, which must have been caused by his hurried journey.

He rushed into the store with an anxious look on his face, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu!"

Doctor Wu saw the man and his appearance, his face darkened, "What happened?"

"Young Master is seriously injured, please help, Elder Wu!"

"What!

How is it going? "

Zhang Hao had a bitter look on his face. "The situation is very bad. Please ask Elder Wu to come with me to the military camp. If we go too late, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he hadn't said.

"Shi Tou, go to the house and get the medicine box." Doctor Wu said sternly, "Is the horse ready?"

"It's ready." Seeing that Doctor Wu agreed, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "The carriage is behind us and will be here soon."

Before the carriage arrived, Doctor Wu asked him, "Where is Jing's injury located, and what is the specific condition?"

"The wound is in the left chest. The soul-chasing arrow has penetrated two inches and the head has not been exposed." Zhang Hao's eyes were bloodshot. It was all his fault. If he had not failed to protect the young master, the young master would not be in such a critical condition now.

If anything happens to the young master, he will never be able to atone for his sins even if he dies a thousand times.

After listening to Zhang Hao's narration, Doctor Wu's face looked very ugly. The location of the arrow on the left chest was indeed very tricky.

Li Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard about the barbed arrow. He was hit by this notorious arrow. It seemed that this person was very unlucky.

The soul-chasing arrow is also called the barbed arrow. It is generally shaped like a barb, with barbs on both ends of the arrowhead, and is extremely sharp.

Once shot by this kind of arrow, the arrowhead will be stuck in the body and cannot be removed without surgery. Trying to pull it out by force will cause massive blood loss, and there may not even be time for treatment.

However, it is not good to keep it inserted as the tip of the arrow is designed to be angular, so even if it is not pulled out, bleeding will continue.

Hence the name “Soul-Chasing Arrow”.

The carriage that Zhang Hao had left behind finally caught up and stopped at the gate of Yong'an Hall. The driver was also a soldier. The people around didn't know what was going on and looked at the carriage and Yong'an Hall carefully.

What happened to Yong'an Hall?

Shitou came out carrying a medicine box, "Master, everything is ready."

"Mr. Wu, now that everything has been packed, let's set off quickly. The young master is still waiting for you to save his life." Zhang Hao, a 1.8-meter-tall man from the northwest, had red eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Since they were all leaving, Li Xi naturally had to leave as well. She was going to leave anyway, but she happened to meet this soldier who came in and wanted to read some gossip. Now that the gossip was over and the show was over, she naturally had to say goodbye as well.

"Doctor Wu, you are busy. I'll leave first. See you later." Li Xi waved her hand and was about to leave.

"Young friend, please stay." Doctor Wu was a little surprised. Why didn't this girl react at all when she heard the news that Jing Zhi was seriously injured? It was as if she was listening to the story of a stranger.

Li Xi: She really doesn’t know who Jingzhi is.

Gu Jingzhi: ...

Li Xi stopped and left. Zhang Hao frowned and looked at Li Xi. He didn't understand why Mr. Wu didn't seize the time to leave with him and instead called this little girl.

"Jingzhi is injured, don't you want to go with me to take a look?"

Li Xi: ???

"Doctor Wu, well, I don't know Jingzhi, and whether he's injured or not has nothing to do with me. I won't go. Huzi is still waiting for me at home."

Li Xi seriously suspected that the old man wanted to capture his young men.

"You!" Zhang Hao glared at Li Xi. Although what the little girl said was not wrong, why did it make him so angry?

Zhang Hao turned his head away from looking at him, "Doctor Wu, time is urgent, let's hurry up and leave."

Doctor Wu ignored Zhang Hao and looked at Li Xi with some confusion, "How could you not know Jing Zhi? Didn't he come with you to rent a house before?"

"Rent an apartment?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment. Doctor Wu's words went around in her mind. All the clues became one line. So Gu Yin was Gu Jingzhi? !

"Yes, you remember that you were quite close at that time."

Just like Li Xi thought, Doctor Wu wanted to capture her able-bodied men. He was not completely sure about the Soul-Chasing Arrow. In addition, Gu Jingzhi was injured on the left chest, which was too sensitive, making the situation even more difficult.

Li Xi had read that strange book and knew a lot of medical knowledge that he didn't know. If she went, maybe she could help.

Li Xi was speechless. This Gu Yin, oh no, it was Gu Jingzhi, he was really interesting. If he hid his real name in the beginning because he didn't trust her, she could understand it.

But it was too much that he didn't even think about telling the truth when he left. They are partners, and the most important thing between partners is honesty.

Thinking of this, Li Xi's face looked a little ugly, but he couldn't really ignore him.

It would have been fine if she didn't know that Gu Jingzhi was Gu Yin before, but now that she knows that Gu Yin is Gu Jingzhi, she can no longer stand idly by. After all, he is her partner, and apart from being a little dishonest about his identity, he has no other problems, and he is also very generous with money.

If he died, where would she find another such generous partner?

"I'll go with you." Li Xi said, "But as for Hu Zi..."

"Don't worry about Hu Zi. I will ask them to arrange someone to protect him." Doctor Wu said to Shi Tou, "Shi Tou, please close Yong'an Hall for the time being."

Li Xi knew that this was the best arrangement. Seeing the man who was about to jump up in anxiety, Li Xi said to Shitou, "Shitou, I have a favor to ask of you. Please tell Huzi that I am going out for a while and will be back in a few days. Tell him not to worry.

You can move to my house for the next few days, so that you and Hu Zi can take care of each other."

"Master?" Shitou looked up.

Doctor Wu also thought that Li Xi's arrangement was good, "I'll listen to you, young friend."

"Well, Master, you need to come back soon."

"Master knows. You should take good care of yourself during this period."

After explaining everything, Doctor Wu and Li Xi didn't delay any longer and got on the carriage at the door. The soldier driving the carriage had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw them seated, he whipped the carriage and quickly drove it out of the city.

"Hey!"

In the carriage, Li Xi climbed up, holding his butt, and sat down.

Then he looked at Doctor Wu who was holding the handrail tightly at the side, and wondered why he didn't remind him in advance.

Doctor Wu understood Li Xi's expression and said with a look of embarrassment, "He moved too fast. I didn't have time to speak."

Li Xi: “…”
