The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"And that time when you washed my clothes, you rubbed the good clothes into tatters. Do you want me to wear it and show off in the streets?" Doesn't the original owner want the reputation of a juren anymore?

I don’t know how this seemingly delicate and weak person could have so much strength at that time.

As for someone saying that he scolded him, it was unfair. He was just afraid that the remaining clothes would be washed by him again, so he tactfully asked someone to go and have a rest. His clothes would naturally be washed by themselves. At worst, there was the monkey system.

He really couldn't understand why Qi Jin, who looked so noble and of such a high status, would wash clothes and cook for him, so he thought that he might be sick and his mind was not clear, and advised him to see a doctor.

I didn't expect that in someone's eyes it would be seen as an insult to him.

(PS: Dou E woke up and found herself ranked second on the list.)

"Finally," Lu Shi looked at Qi Jin seriously, "It's not that I don't want to treat you. The poison in your body is too complicated. You can't just take any medicine casually. The medicine I have now can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

"I can cure your poison, but I'm still missing one herbal ingredient."

Lu Shi said as the interview gradually became more relaxed, "This medicinal herb happened to be in the gift Wen Huaian sent today, so I..."

Reveal three-quarters of what you say, and the other person will have to fill in the remaining seven.

If Qi Jin was clear-headed now, he would follow his train of thought. For example, he would think that Lu Shi saw this medicinal ingredient first and then started a transaction with Wen Huaian, and the final result was for him.

In fact, Lu Shi only discovered this medicinal ingredient later when he was sorting it out, but who would care? Isn't the final result of this matter exactly what everyone wants?

In fact, Lu Shi would definitely help Qi Jin get rid of the poison, but it is very likely not now. The business in the village is at a critical time, and with his current energy, he cannot take care of the village and look for medicinal materials at the same time.

So his plan is to send the antidote to him maybe a year later, which is just because you need to have his address to send dates to someone.

He really didn't expect this change in Wen Huaian, but it was a good thing after all. Someone was still upset that he treated Wen Huaian but didn't detoxify him.

At that time, he really thought that someone was out of money but was too embarrassed to borrow from him.

It was not known whether Qi Jin listened to his words or not, but he had calmed down and no longer held the wine jar. Instead, the hands that were holding Lu Shi's hands slowly slipped into Lu Shi's fingers and clasped them tightly.

Lu Shi's heart suddenly trembled, and an indescribable strange feeling came over him. He looked down and saw that his left hand was tightly held by Qi Jin, as if it were clamped by an iron clamp, unable to break free.

The strength and warmth from that hand made Lu Shi unable to ignore it.

His first reaction was to frown. This strange feeling made Lu Shi feel very unfamiliar, yet familiar...

He moved his fingers slightly, and the hand holding him tightened even more.

Qi Jin seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, his head tilted slightly, resting gently on Lu Shi's shoulder, as if he had found a comfortable support. His breathing was steady and subtle, his eyes closed, without any movement or change in expression, and there was nothing unusual about him.

The meal lasted a long time. It was already late, and now it was already late at night. The entire living room was lit by candlelight, the flames dancing lightly, as if telling some secret.

The shadow in front of Lu Shi kept shaking with the flickering candlelight, which looked a bit weird and made people feel scared.

Half of his face was in shadow, and his eyes, hidden by his long eyelashes, were extremely cold and without the slightest fluctuation. Deep in his eyes, he revealed a kind of ruthlessness and indifference, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.

Lu Shi adjusted his posture, picked up Qi Jin with one hand, and walked steadily back to the room.

On the bed, Qi Jin closed his eyes tightly, breathing steadily. After Lu Shi covered him with the quilt, they still did not let go of each other's hands.

“It’s time to let go.”

Lu Shi slowly injected a trace of spiritual power into Qi Jin's body. This spiritual power was like a clear spring, flowing through Qi Jin's meridians. At this time, the drunk Qi Jin still had a trace of consciousness. He only felt that his body had become extremely heavy, as if it was being pressed down by a mountain.

He tried to struggle, but a tingling sensation came from his head, like a breeze gently blowing on his face. He gradually relaxed his body, succumbing to this feeling and slowly fell asleep.

……

The carriage had already been parked at the door, quietly awaiting its owner's arrival. Two nights of heavy snow had piled up thickly on the ground, and the wheels rolled slowly across the snow, leaving behind a series of deep and shallow pits.

Three carriages were parked in the spacious grounds at the entrance. They were neatly arranged, but one carriage was particularly eye-catching. Its graceful lines and ornate and exquisitely decorated carriage exuded an air of nobility and elegance. Clearly, this carriage was designed specifically to carry people.

The other two carriages were relatively simple, without much decoration, but with a sturdy and durable structure, used for transporting goods.

Everything had been prepared long ago, so Lu Shi just asked them to load the two baskets of dates prepared in advance onto the carriage and there was nothing else to pack.

Qi Jin walked out of the house and stood next to Lu Shi with a small package in his arms.

At this time, everyone was standing in the yard waiting. When Qi Jin came out, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Lu Shi spoke first: "Zao has been moved back to the carriage for you. Have you packed your things?"

A package was handed to Lu Shi. Qi Jin avoided his puzzled gaze and said in a low voice, "I promised to make you a piece of clothing. Here, I'll give it to you now."

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment. He thought it was just a joke, so he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect Qi Jin to actually do it for him.

He secretly took a peek through the gap in the package. It should be made of the blue cloud silk. The fabric was smooth and soft.

The intuition attacked his brain even more strongly, and he realized that something was really wrong with Qi Jin!

He looked at Qi Jin with a complicated expression, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Thanks……"

"You're welcome."

"..."

"Is there nothing else you want to tell me?"

"..."

There was an inexplicable heat in his eyes, and tears seemed to want to burst out of them, but Qi Jin stopped him fiercely, and he secretly scolded himself for being pretentious.

“I buy it with money…”

"It seems like there's something going on!"

Lu Shi suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something important. Qi Jin got drunk last night, so the gift he'd prepared wasn't used. He'd almost forgotten about it today. Fortunately, he remembered it now. Otherwise, he could have imagined how much someone would care. He'd complained for a long time after getting drunk last night.

Thinking about what he had just interrupted in a hurry, he concluded that someone must still be blaming him in his heart for being greedy for money and not willing to give up until he saw the rabbit.

Are you kidding? How could a mere divine tree like him care about a few coins? He just thought about it a little more when he first came here and had no money. Uh, he might have even cheated them out of a few taels of silver. He also liked to tease Qi Jin...

He said Qi Jin was overthinking things. Their current partnership was tacitly agreed upon. Qi Jin had helped him a lot: securing the village's future business, teaching villagers to read and identify herbs, and helping him collect herbal seedlings and seeds...

No matter how much he likes money, he would not just watch such a big moneybag die without helping him, especially since they are friends.
