Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 588

"What holy water?"

Bai Ying was stunned.

I feel like things are suddenly taking a strange turn. What's going on?

"Wait, I'll get it."

The old lady stood up and limped to the inner room. She took out a gourd from somewhere. She shook the gourd and could vaguely hear the sound of water.

"Alas, there's only half a bowl left. I don't know when the goddess will send someone to deliver more medicine..."

The old lady muttered something mysterious, uncorked the gourd, and poured the "holy water" inside into Bai Ying's empty broken bowl.

The liquid is so clear that you can see the bottom of the bowl, and it looks just like normal water.

Before the old lady could bring the water to He Shiwen, Bai Ying grabbed the broken bowl and said, "Grandma, can you let me see it? I've never seen the holy water before."

Hearing Bai Ying's reverent tone, the old lady laughed and said, "Okay, go ahead and take a look, but don't drink it. This is all I have left!"

Bai Ying nodded in agreement and carefully examined the bowl of "holy water".

At first glance, there's nothing wrong.

If you look closely, you can still see some small white particles faintly sinking at the bottom of the bowl. Bai Ying put her nose close to the edge of the bowl, and a faint bitter medicinal smell rushed into her nostrils.

It doesn't taste like the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, but more like Western medicine...

Bai Ying frowned and distinguished carefully for a long time, matching the taste of the western medicine in her memory with the taste of the "magic water" one by one. After rinsing more than a dozen kinds of medicine in a row, she suddenly realized.

It's a painkiller!

Bai Ying stared at the "holy water" in the bowl with a complicated expression.

She originally thought that the "goddess" the old lady was talking about was a charlatan who was trying to deceive people and whose so-called treatment was just to soak burnt talisman paper in water for people to drink.

Since cinnabar is used to draw talisman paper, which has a calming effect, patients will feel much better after drinking it and will mistakenly believe that the fortune teller has really cured their illness.

Therefore, when Bai Ying first heard the old lady mention the so-called "Goddess", she naturally misunderstood it as this.

Unexpectedly... the holy water of this goddess is actually painkillers soaked in water. Patients may not be cured by drinking it, but at least it can relieve pain, so it is natural to think that the holy water is useful.

She could actually come up with such a way to play tricks. It seems that even if this goddess is not a doctor, she at least knows medical skills.

For a moment, Bai Ying felt quite complicated.

There are so many talented people among them who study medicine that they can even squeeze into the circle of the gods.

"Hey! Girl, have you finished reading it?"

The old lady who was watching nearby asked impatiently.

"Oh, I've finished reading it, I've finished reading it." Bai Ying came back to her senses and returned the bowl to the old lady.

Since it was confirmed that the ingredients of the holy water were correct, there was no need to stop the old lady from giving it to He Shiwen.

Following the old lady, we came to the hut where He Shiwen was temporarily housed. There was no bedding on the bed in the hut. He Shiwen was lying directly on the hardwood board, wearing only a thin vest and shorts.

He Shiwen is still in a coma.

In addition, she inevitably caught a cold after soaking in the water for such a long time. Her face was pale, and her body was bruised and purple from hitting rocks while being washed downstream by the river. She looked so pitiful.

Bai Ying helped He Shiwen sit up. The old lady pried open He Shiwen's mouth and poured all the magic water in the bowl into her mouth.

As soon as the old lady finished drinking, she quickly covered He Shiwen's mouth, fearing that she would spit it out and waste it.

"Well......"

He Shiwen was choked and frowned.
