The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Although the shop assistants didn’t get any cake, the fried food was very delicious. Paired with thirst-quenching cold sour plum soup, everyone enjoyed it very much.

"Mm, it's delicious indeed." Shopkeeper Qin nodded, holding a piece of crispy fried chicken in his hand. He nodded in praise and kept eating piece after piece. "But this meat is even better. No wonder the business is so good. Doctor Sun, we are really benefiting from your kindness. We have accepted this gift from your apprentice."

"Hmm." Doctor Sun couldn't stop eating the cream cake. He knew what Mr. Yu wanted to eat yesterday.

Seeing that the shop assistants, doctors, and shopkeepers had almost finished their work, Xie Wanxing stood up and said goodbye: "Master, and all the elders, and Shopkeeper Qin, but I have to go back to my teacher's class, so I'll take my leave now."

Doctor Sun nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead. Be careful on the road."

"I understand, Master."

On the way back, she and Xie Ning sat on the shaft of the carriage together. The movement of the carriage brought a gentle breeze. Xie Wanxing closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage, and enjoyed the rare refreshing breeze in this summer.

Xie Ning suddenly asked, "Axing, were you the one who saved me before?"

His voice was low and hoarse, breaking the original silence. Xie Wanxing was startled by his sudden question. Her eyes, which were originally half-closed, opened instantly, with a trace of sleepiness and a little surprise in her eyes. She turned her head and met Xie Ning's gaze, only to see that his eyes were deep and focused, with a sense of exploration.

However, since she had demonstrated her medical skills in public, he guessed that there was nothing strange about it. Moreover, there was nothing to be ashamed of, and his injuries were strange at the time, so she didn't actually do much.

"It's me." Xie Wanxing said softly, "At that time, bandits blocked the road, and we all hid in the mountains. My father and I accidentally found you in the forest. You were seriously injured and unconscious. Because we were in a hurry and it was inconvenient to take you with us, we placed you in the city."

Xie Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded and whispered, "I know, thank you."

"But, Brother Ning, did you take any kind of elixir at that time?" Xie Wanxing blinked and asked in confusion, "I saw that the injuries on your body were only superficial, so they shouldn't be particularly serious. But your pulse was almost lifeless, and you were unconscious for several days. This really makes me feel a little strange. I really can't tell what your pulse was like."

Xie Ning's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure myself. When I left, No. 37 gave me a pill, probably for detoxification."

Xie Wanxing was surprised: "Antidote? Have you been poisoned?"

"Yeah, that's my guess." Xie Ning nodded, looking ahead with a serious expression. "The rule of Suying Pavilion is that anyone over the age of fifteen will be sent out on a mission. Every sent-out secret guard must take poison and return to Suying Pavilion to get the antidote every once in a while. But now that I think about it, everyone in Suying Pavilion practices martial arts at an incredibly fast speed. I think we must have been poisoned from the moment we entered Suying Pavilion."

Xie Wanxing asked cautiously, "Then, who is number 37?"

Xie Ning said, "I don't know. I've never seen her face, and she's never spoken to me. In a place like Suying Pavilion, everyone has their own secrets, so I'm also surprised why she saved me."

"What kind of medicine is it?" It was rare for Xie Ning to be willing to talk so much in a day. It seemed that he was in the mood to chat with her today, so Xie Wanxing took the opportunity to delve into his little secret.

Xie Ning said: "A green pill, the size of a fingernail."

Xie Wanxing asked again: "What does this pill smell like? Is it bitter, or does it have any other special taste?"

Xie Ning seemed to be trying hard to recall the smell of the pill and said, "It didn't have a particularly strong smell, just a faint herbal scent, not pungent. But I don't recognize medicinal herbs very well, and I don't know what kind of herbal smell it was. The situation was critical at the time, so I just swallowed it."

"How about I check your pulse again?"

Xie Ning was slightly stunned, then nodded, stretched out his arm towards Xie Wanxing, and slowed down the car slightly.

Xie Wanxing rolled up his sleeves, revealing his smooth wrists, and carefully placed his fingers on Xie Ning's pulse.

Xie Wanxing felt that his pulse was a little strange.

Xie Ning's pulse was steady and strong, with an even rhythm, like a bottomless lake, unusually calm.

Normally, even for people with profound internal strength, their pulse would fluctuate with emotions, movements, or subtle changes in the body. However, Xie Ning's pulse seemed to be fixed by an invisible force, always maintaining an almost mechanical stability.

She felt it carefully again and found that there seemed to be a vague sense of obstruction hidden in the pulse, as if there was a stream flowing in the river, but it was blocked by some small reefs or aquatic plants in the middle. Although it did not interrupt the flow of water, it also caused an imperceptible pause in the flow.

This feeling was very subtle, and if she hadn't carefully distinguished it, she would probably have overlooked it.

She had never seen Xie Ning's pulse like this before.

She raised her head and looked at Xie Ning, her eyes filled with confusion and worry. "Brother Ning, I feel a slight blockage in your pulse. Do you feel any discomfort in your body? Or do you feel anything unusual?"

Xie Ning shook his head, his eyes becoming somewhat serious: "I don't have any special feelings."

"This matter involves your previous identity, so it's not convenient to ask other people. Let me improve my medical skills in the future. If you do anything wrong, remember to tell me immediately!"

"Ah."

Xie Wanxing thought silently for a long time. Before she knew it, the carriage had returned home. She got off the carriage, temporarily put aside all the questions in her mind, and divided the things she brought back among her brothers.

After distributing the things, she hurried to attend class with Mr. Yu as usual.

Xie Ning flew up the tree with a bottle of sour plum juice in his hand. This was where he usually stayed, from where he could observe the situation around the entire house at any time. He went to his usual position, leaned against the tree trunk and lay down, his eyes unconsciously looking towards the direction of the study in the Xie family yard.

He gently unscrewed the bottle cap of sour plum soup and took a sip. The sweet, sour and cool taste spread in his mouth, calming his mood slightly due to the hot weather.
