Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Yu was now taken aback; she hadn't expected that Li Shi hadn't been idle at home all day.

"Mother." Fang Yu pulled her to sit down, looking at the fine marks on her hands: "Mother, didn't I tell you to rest at home? Your hands are in such a state."

Li withdrew her hand, stroked Fang Yu's hair, and smiled gently: "I'm just doing some small chores, it's nothing, it's not tiring. Mother just wants to share some of the burden for our family."

Fang Yu wouldn't be too critical, but she was worried that Li Shi was working too hard.

Fang Yu took out a bottle of ointment from his pocket and gently applied it to Li's hand.

Li, who had never inquired about it before, asked today: "Yu'er, you seem different from before. It seems like you know a lot of things you didn't know before."

Fang Yu's fingertips, which were applying the medicine to her, paused almost imperceptibly. She replied in a natural tone, "I don't know what happened. When I woke up, my mind was filled with a lot of things."

Li didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "Okay, just don't work too hard."

With both the house and the shop under control, the two sisters spent three days shuttling between their home and Qingshan City.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Granny Liu came with her daughter-in-law and grandson, and knelt straight down in front of Fang Yu: "Miss Fang, the grace of saving your life is like giving you a second life. Please accept our bow."

Everything happened so fast that by the time Fang Yu and Fang Xin reacted, the three of them were already kneeling down.

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and helped Granny Liu up: "This is nothing, there's no need for such formalities. Let me check on the child first."

After taking her pulse, Fang Yu found that she had basically recovered, just as he had expected.

No sooner had Liu Po's daughter-in-law returned with the child than Mo Jiu arrived.

"Miss Fang, are you available now? We brought back a patient, and many doctors have been unable to treat him, so we would like to ask Miss Fang to come and take a look."

Fang Yu glanced in the direction of the kitchen: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look now."

Following Mo Jiu, they boarded the carriage at the entrance. The carriage traveled quickly through the city, all the way to the entrance of Tianxiang Tower.

After going up to the private room on the third floor, Mo Jiu stopped at the door but did not open it. Just as Fang Yu was about to ask, Xiao Jingqi came in from the side.

A soft face towel was then placed over her, and Xiao Jingqi helped her tie it without any hesitation, saying in a very soft voice in her ear, "The situation inside is a bit special, it's better to wear it."

When Fang Yu's shimmering eyes looked directly at him, they caught a glimpse of his sculpted jawline, and only as they slowly moved upwards did they see his handsome face.

Fang Yu lowered her gaze, leaned closer to him, and spoke in a slightly deep voice: "Lord Xiao, has anyone ever told you that you are very handsome?"

She deliberately bit her lip and lowered her voice when she said the last two words.

Xiao Jingqi's hand froze for a moment, then he swallowed hard and said, "Alright, Miss Fang can go in now."

As soon as Mo Jiuyi pushed open the door, the stench of the festering sores on Granny Liu's grandson wafted out, almost making Fang Yu vomit even with a face towel covering her mouth.

She covered her mouth and nose and turned around, bumping right into Xiao Jingqi, who was following behind her.

He supported her with one hand and gently patted her back with the other: "Are you alright?"

Fang Yu covered her lips and slightly raised them, pressing them against his collar as she took a deep breath.

"You smell so good."

Mo Jiu behind him: ? ? ? ……

Xiao Jingqi: ?

After saying that, she turned around and went into the private room as if nothing had happened. The closer she got to the bed, the stronger the stench became.

Lying on the bed was a person whose body was covered in sores and whose complexion was unrecognizable. If it weren't for the faint breathing, the person would be practically dead.

Fang Yu merely frowned slightly, walked over to take the patient's pulse, but before she could even touch the patient's hand, Xiao Jingqi grabbed her wrist.

He bent down and covered the patient's wrist with a handkerchief before releasing Fang Yu's hand: "Now we can begin."

Fang Yu took the pulse, and Xiao Jingqi said from the side, "We tried the prescription you gave us before, but it didn't work. We also consulted doctors in the city, but none of them could cure it. This person was picked up from a stream outside the city. I suspect that the children's epidemic came from this person."

Fang Yu frowned slightly and withdrew his hand: "I will treat this person first, but whether he can survive is hard to say."

She spoke very seriously. Xiao Jingqi thought to himself that this matter was particularly strange. If she couldn't find a solution, then it would be difficult to continue the investigation.

Looking at the patient on the bed, although he was dressed in the style of Beiyu, he was carrying items from beyond the Great Wall, making it hard not to suspect that he was a spy.

After all, Qingshan City is only separated from the pass by Huaizhou City. If someone deliberately did this, then all the people in the city...

As requested by Fang Yu, Mo Jiu brought in hot water. She took out several porcelain bottles from her bosom, opened them, and poured the hot water into them.

Mo Jiu had never tasted the medicine before and didn't know what it tasted like, but Xiao Jingqi knew that the so-called medicinal liquid had a sweet and spiritual taste but no medicinal flavor.

Fang Yu did not shy away from inserting silver needles into several acupoints of the patient, and then fed him a bottle of spiritual spring water.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiao Jingqi and Mo Jiu, she used an extremely sharp dagger to scrape away the rotting flesh from the patient's body bit by bit.

This doesn't look like treatment; it looks more like torture.

The patient was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. Large beads of sweat dripped down his already festering face.

Mo Jiu took a deep breath and recalled what she had just said. It turned out that it wasn't because her medical skills were too shallow to cure the patient, but because she was afraid the patient wouldn't be able to withstand it and wouldn't survive.

After Fang Yu's intervention, the patient on the bed began to breathe weaker and weaker, and looked bloody all over. His eyes rolled back, and his head tilted to the side, making it look like he was no longer breathing.

"...?" Mo Jiu's mouth opened slightly: "This..."

Fang Yu calmly checked the patient's breath with her fingertip and said lightly, "She just fainted; she's still breathing."

She threw off the covers completely, revealing a bed stained with blood.

Fang Yu calmly moved down, preparing to pull off the patient's pants, when suddenly a large hand grabbed Fang Yu's arm.

Xiao Jingqi was clearly still a little anxious: "Miss Fang, there is a difference between men and women."

"It's okay, I'm not a doctor, and I don't treat him like a human being."

As she spoke, she tried to break free of her wrist to continue her next move.

Xiao Jingqi not only didn't let go, but instead tightened his grip and pulled the man up, also taking the dagger from his hand.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Wha...what happened? You're not going to treat me?"

Xiao Jingqi hadn't let go yet; instead, he asked, "Is it enough to just remove the rotten flesh?"

Fang Yu was about to nod when the dagger she had been using was transferred to Mo Jiu's hand, and Xiao Jingqi dragged her out, leaving her with the words, "The rest is up to you."

Mo Jiu: "?"

Fang Yu was dragged to the private room next door in a daze, and then Xiao Jingqi even grabbed her hand and put it into a basin of hot water to wash it.

After washing her, I even helped her dry her off.
