Seeing Gu Yan in front of her hesitant, Zhou Nian shrugged her shoulders, as if she had guessed the concerns in her heart, and simply withdrew her right hand with great interest.

Raising his eyebrows, there was no fluctuation in Zhou Nian's flat tone, "Even if you don't hand it over to me, I know the ingredients contained in those medicines." ”

"What?" Gu Yan frowned slightly, naturally disbelieving, "Impossible, although I don't understand the medicine I have on my body, but it is also personally dispensed by one of the top pharmacists in the City of Water, his old man's dispensing methods, is it that you little hairy boy speculated?"

"Huh...... Believe it or not, don't say the big one, I'll taste a small category. Zhou Nian lowered his head slightly, and slowly approached under Gu Yan's surprised gaze, his eyes were closed, and he suddenly hit the other party's chest.

"Ahh......h What are you going to do?"

Gu Yan was so frightened that he suddenly screamed, his face was unabashedly blushing, he had been with the demon beast for a long time, how could he have been treated lightly by a human man?

Wrapping his chest hard, Gu Yan closed his eyes and slapped at Zhou Nian's side face.

"Stinky rascal!"

She cursed as she twitched, and when the slap was about to reach the side of the other person's face, a large hand suddenly clenched it in the air.

The temperature of the palm gradually came, and Gu Yan's face turned even redder than before!

"You ......"

"Shh......h

She was about to speak, but Zhou Nian suddenly interrupted her, put her index finger against her mouth, closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, frowned and sniffed the smell of the medicine on her body, which lasted for a few seconds, and suddenly opened her eyes.

Slowly letting go of the hand holding Gu Yan, Zhou Nian raised his head and took a few steps back, and had a clear judgment in his heart, "Snake Heart Fruit, Qian Cui Yang Flower, Nine Turns Yang Returning Grass, and Yi Yi Red Heart Lotus, the small categories contained in these medicines, am I right?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yan was stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Nian to really pronounce the names of several medicinal materials, although she didn't know if it was right or not, but the only one of them was the Nine Turns Yang Grass, and she was personally responsible for picking and distributing it.

In order to prevent others from stealing from learning, the types of medicines that each person wants to collect, the quantity, and even the time of collection are completely different, the top secret of the dispensing, the complexity of the formula, only the pharmacists with high qualifications in the city can know, he is just a foreign cultivator, a hairy boy who is only sixteen years old, can understand?

With a strong surprise and curiosity in his heart, Gu Yan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mo Fei, you are also a pharmacist?"

"Pharmacist?" Zhou Nian frowned, and then shook his head and said, "No, I'm not a pharmacist. ”

"It's not a pharmacist, how did you guess the medicinal herbs contained in it?" Gu Yan asked, his curiosity even stronger.

"With this!" Zhou Nian nodded his nose and said with an indifferent expression.

"Huh?" Gu Yan opened his mouth in shock, "Just by your nose, can you smell it?"

"The nose is only one part of it, and the key to judging the ingredients contained in a medicine is to have a wealth of knowledge of medicinal materials, and if I didn't recognize those medicinal materials, I would never have called them by name. ”

Gu Yan came over with a curious face, and seemed to have a strong interest in Zhou Nian's nose, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Your nose, isn't it more smart than a dog's nose?"

"Go, go, are you so boastful?" Zhou Nian rolled his eyes angrily, not wanting to expose his identity as a Danshi, and said instead, "You don't care what my nose is, now you can always trust me to help you." ”

"Forehead......" Gu Yanmu nodded, and then asked, "Since you have guessed the ingredients of the medicine, how are you going to help me?"

"Well...... You don't have to worry about it, I just need to fulfill the agreement between us as soon as possible, and after sneaking into the Water City, I will help you eliminate the root cause of the disease. ”

"After sneaking into the City of Water?" As soon as these words came out, Gu Yan was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Will I still have a chance to see you after the successful infiltration?"

"Don't worry, I won't be caught. ”

"Okay, even if you have great ability and won't be caught, but what if you run away after you succeed?

"Then what do you say?" Zhou Nian didn't expect the girl in front of her to be so thoughtful, she wanted to draw a big pie and let the other party obediently, but she didn't expect her to be smarter than she imagined.

The girl lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, then said, "You can help me heal my illness first, and then I will take you to the city of water?"

"That's not good!" Zhou Nian immediately refused, and the tone of questioning was the same as Gu Yan just now, "You have your worries, I have my concerns, in case I cure you, if you don't help, won't my efforts be in vain?"

"Can't you trust me? I'm not like that. Gu Yan pouted angrily, and his indifferent face actually added a hint of cuteness.

"It's not a matter of trust, after all, the first time we work together, we have to get to know each other first. Zhou Nian confessed.

"And what do you think should be done?"

If two cautious people want to work together, trust in each other is the most important thing.

Zhou Nian frowned, nodded his chin and thought patiently for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

"How about we?"

"How?" asked Gu Yan.

"I'll help you heal half of it first, and when it's done, I'll help you heal the other half, so that neither of you suffers, what do you think?"

"Half-cured?"

Gu Yan suddenly felt a little speechless, but anyone who treats and saves people, either the medicine is cured, or the power to return to the sky, I have never heard of half of the treatment of the disease, the young man in front of him, is his brain amused?

However, the more absurd and bizarre the treatment is, the more difficult it is to implement, either cured or incured, and it happens to be stuck at the point where the good and the bad are mixed, and the person in charge of the treatment is either a miracle doctor or a madman.

Sometimes there is a fine line between a genius and a fool.

With a strong incomprehension and confusion in his heart, Gu Yan simply tried it for the time being, anyway, the premise of the implementation of the agreement is to treat the disease first, and to see if the other party's treatment method has any effect.

The clear eyes blinked a few times, and Gu Yan nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"In that case, let's start preparing for the treatment now. ”

"Now?so fast?" Gu Yan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Zhou Nian to be a resolute person.

"Don't you want to get rid of the pain sooner? Besides, the moon will be full in a day or two, and if you miss this excellent opportunity to prove my medical skills, even if I treat you in the future, I'm afraid you will have to wait a long time to verify it. So, without further ado, let's act now. ”

"Action, how to act?"

"The first step of the matter is naturally the preparation of medicinal materials, I will write out the required medicinal materials for you in a while, you take the medicine according to the prescription, if you meet someone you don't know, I will draw you a rough image. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Gu Yan nodded, watched Zhou Nian slowly take out the pen and paper from the bag, and leaned over with a curious expression.

A few minutes later, Zhou Nian almost wrote down the medicinal materials he needed, and showed them to Gu Yan one by one, and by the way, he pointed out a few medicinal materials that she was not very familiar with.

There are many medicinal materials in the Destitute Forest, and the variety is very rich, even the precious and famous herbs that cannot be collected in the medicine mountain of the Heavenly Star Pavilion can be found patiently here.

After determining the number and type of medicinal materials, Zhou Nian and Gu Yan planned to act together, and just about to rush into the old forest, the little fox behind them suddenly followed, as if they also wanted to explore together.

Zhou Nian sighed helplessly, squatted down and touched the little fox's little head, and said lovingly, "Alas, don't follow me, we are going to collect medicine and not to play, you should go home quickly." ”

"Whew......"

The little fox screamed aggrievedly, and even Gu Yan, who wanted to kill it before, couldn't help but feel compassion, and muttered, "Forget it, or take it with you, although this small vegetable garden is my pure land, but there are more fierce demon beasts here, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous to throw it here." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Nian turned his head to look at Gu Yan, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if teasing, "Oh, didn't you still cry and shout just now that you wanted to kill it?"

"I ...... Where am I crying and shouting....." Gu Yan muttered in a low voice, his face sank, and he suddenly picked up the little fox on the ground, and said angrily, "If you think it's a burden, then I'll take care of it." ”

After saying that, she didn't look back, Lianbu tapped the ground and rushed directly into the forest.

Zhou Nian looked at her back calmly, more or less helpless about the other party's duplicity, and sighed in his heart, "Alas, knife mouth, tofu heart, I shouted to kill it before, it seems to be fake, let me leave alone, I must have wanted to deliberately let it go while I was leaving, this woman is not bad." ”

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Zhou Nian slammed on the ground with the soles of his feet, and while his speed accelerated, he chased directly towards the graceful shadow in front of him.

The moonlight is light, the cold night is slightly cool, and it has come to the ugly time in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Nian and Gu Yan's speed was not very fast, because of the relationship between looking for medicinal materials along the way, they inevitably had to stop and go along the way, thanks to the moonlight tonight, the clear appearance of the medicinal materials could be seen from more than ten meters away, and it took about half an hour to pick, and among the nine medicinal materials needed, three of them had already been obtained.

The fog in front of them began to intensify, and the two of them came to an old locust tree to stop for a while, gently put the little fox down to rest for a while, Gu Yan climbed up to the treetops, and began to check the direction of the next medicine collection route.

Ten minutes later......

Zhou Nian looked up at Gu Yan on the tree, stretched out his palm to his mouth and shouted, "Hey, have you found your way?"

"Not yet, the fog is so thick that you have to go deeper into the woods to tell. ”

"Oh, let's come down first. Zhou Nian shouted again, took the initiative to pick up the little fox and put it on his head, and instructed seriously, "Next, I will carry you, you can remember, don't pee on my head easily, otherwise you will look good." ”

"Poof", like a pleasant silver bell, Zhou Nian's words and deeds really made Gu Yan who had just fallen to the ground laugh, covering her lips and turning her face around, her hair flying in the wind was charming and moving, and her fleeting smile made her look a little more beautiful than usual.

"It turns out that she laughed, it's like this......" Zhou Nian sighed in his heart, then coughed dryly, and said in a deep voice, "Ahem...... It's getting late, so let's get on the road. ”

"Good. Gu Yan nodded, his smile gradually retracted, and he returned to his previous indifference.
