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

Qi Jin looked at the bottle in front of him, which he had seen a few times before. His heart seemed to jump out of his chest. He spoke with difficulty in a trembling voice.

"what is this?"

"Didn't I tell you last night that this was an apology gift for you... Oh, I forgot you were drunk."

My heart was beating wildly, and my blood was rushing up my spine. Every word that came out of Lu Shi's mouth was like a hammer hitting my nerves. It was as if someone had set off a brilliant fireworks display in my mind. The fireworks exploded in my mind, and the colorful light illuminated the whole world.

He got drunk last night and his mind was in a mess when he woke up. His memory of last night was a little vague. He only remembered that he was chattering about his dissatisfaction, and Lu Shi also patiently explained to him.

He couldn't recall their conversation, but the joy he felt when he woke up that morning couldn't be faked. He must have been quite satisfied with Lu Shi's explanation. Furthermore, the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was their fingers intertwined. Even now, when he thought about it, he could still feel the sense of security that surrounded him.

Qi Jin's ears felt slightly hot. "You don't need to apologize to me. This is my own problem."

He was too sensitive and thought too much, and the antidote was now in his hands.

It was not bought by him, but given to him by Lu Shi.

"This medicine is best taken immediately when your body attacks in order to achieve the greatest effect. Take one pill each time. After three doses, take it once a month regularly until it's used up."

"You've been doing well here lately, so it's been postponed this month, but it might be in the next few days, so keep an eye on it."

He said that when he landed, he took out many identical medicines. To prevent them from being mistaken, he put a red label on each medicine.

He stuffed all the medicine into Qi Jin's arms, and Qi Jin almost couldn't hold him.

"You must be in danger over there. There are a lot of medicines here. Hide them well for emergency use." Protect his big money sponsor, at least nothing will happen to him until he passes the imperial examination.

The smile on Qi Jin's face had never disappeared since a while ago, and now it was even brighter.

"Since you've prepared so many gifts for me, I'll give you a gift in return. Tell me, what do you want? As long as I have it!"

Lu Shi: "No need, didn't you already make me a dress?"

Qi Jin: “That’s different.”

That piece of clothing was originally intended for him. Regardless of whether Lu Shi regarded her as a brother or a friend, regardless of whether he was going to detoxify him or not, he would have given her the clothing, so it was different.

Lu Shi pointed casually, "Okay, then give me the jade pendant on your waist. It's quite beautiful."

Qi Jin took off the jade pendant without saying a word and tied it carefully for Lu Shi.

"This jade pendant suits you very well."

He turned and walked out of the yard, lifting the curtain of the carriage.

"Lu Shi!"

"I'll wait for you in Beijing"

In the cold winter, with snowflakes falling, the two young men looked at each other from a distance and made a three-year agreement.

The carriage went farther and farther away, and the cold wind whistled past, blowing up the corners of the boy's clothes and blowing away the liveliness in the yard.

Several rows of wheel tracks were left on the snow, gradually covered by new snow.

"Host, he just gave you such an important jade pendant?"

That's a jade pendant that symbolizes status! Oh my god, it feels like its host is really powerful.

Lu Shi's fingers gently stroked the jade pendant on his waist, feeling its temperature and texture. A vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were deep and indifferent.

“It’s indeed simpler than I thought.”

……

On the other hand, Qi Qi's mental journey was completely different. He simply felt that his master was possessed by evil spirits.

No, he must have been bewitched. Otherwise, how could we explain that he was still the same serious master in front of them, but was a completely different person in front of Lu Shi.

Now it was even more incredible. He had even given away his master's personal seal, which meant that Lu Shi had almost half of his master's power. Take Lu Shi's favorite thing, for example: as long as he took out the jade pendant, he could control the banks across the country at will.

Qi Qi was heartbroken. In just one month, his master had undergone a drastic change.

There were many people surrounding the carriage. They were all secret guards who had been hidden in Qingning Town a long time ago. When they saw Qi Qi looking at the carriage where his master was with an increasingly painful expression on his face, they couldn't help but ask.

"What happened?" Did anything big happen during the month when they were away from their master?

Qi Qi: "The master gave his jade pendant to Lu Shi."

Everyone was shocked. Was Lu Shi the one who had kept the master in that shabby place for over a month? Why did the master give him the jade pendant? Oh my God, what had they missed?

Qi Qi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qi Yi, "Master must have his reasons for doing this."

Qi Qi: "Yes, the master must have other plans."

Qi Qu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, how could he have forgotten that his master was not a gentle person. When he found out the family that poisoned him, his master dealt with them swiftly and efficiently, without even giving them a chance to threaten him with the antidote. He was so cruel that he even planned to destroy himself.

Fortunately, now that he had obtained the antidote, Qi Qi felt much more relieved. Compared with his master's life, a jade pendant didn't seem to mean anything.

And given his master's temperament, he would definitely not let him suffer any loss.

Qi Jin, who was lying in the car, heard the conversation between his subordinates. He picked up a date in one hand, held the sleeping Xiaobai in his arms with the other, and laughed wildly.

Of course he has plans, and they are big plans.

……

The missing people at home had no effect on Lu Shi at all. He was still busy with village affairs.

Most people in the village stayed at home with nothing to do after preparing New Year's goods. He invited the sixteen key people to his home to teach them to read and write.

Compared to the tolerance he showed during the period of reclaiming the back mountain, Lu Shixing was harsh and stern at this time.

He took the bamboo stick and slammed it on the table. The sound of the violent contact instantly woke up the drowsy people. They looked up at Lu Shi in a daze, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock.

"Now that you're awake, learn to read. If I see you again, I'll be punished."

Lu Shi spoke lightly, his eyes obscure and unclear, but everyone who looked at him broke into cold sweats.

They also feel ashamed of their inappropriate behavior and therefore study more seriously.

The teaching went much more smoothly after that.

Before the Chinese New Year, Lu Shi finished teaching a book of herbal medicine and told them to consolidate the knowledge they had learned during the New Year period. He also emphasized that they had to start actual practice after the New Year and really start refining medicine.

After saying that, Lu Shi waved his hand and told them to go back and come back after the tenth day of the new year.

Those who were "amnestied" rushed out of the yard without hesitation.

Oh my god, Brother Lu was so scary when he was little (T?T).
