Chapter 42: Major Progress

After the hall master of Rende Hall left, Chu Xiao walked quickly to Tong Xiang's side.

"Let's get some medicine."

While speaking, Chu Xiao had already started to pull Tong Xiang's hand that had just been burned.

Tong Xiang subconsciously withdrew his hand back, and his usually pale face suddenly turned red.

"No need."

Tong Xiang was also a person who begged for a living on the tip of a knife in her previous life, and she didn't pay attention to this little injury at all.

Now that someone suddenly took her little injury to heart, she was still a little uncomfortable.

Chu Xiao didn't understand what Tong Xiang meant, but when she didn't want to let herself touch her, her hand was instantly retracted.

"It's abrupt."

The corners of Chu Xiao's mouth still had a faint smile, but that smile, like a circle of ripples on his face, quickly disappeared into his deep eyes.

The pupil color is more mysterious than the color of ordinary people at this time, but the stunned appearance can't be concealed no matter what.

Looking at Chu Xiao's appearance, Tong Xiang didn't know what to do.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Chu Xiao, but she felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to do so, so she put it down again.

Tong Xiang looked at the scalding cream on the table, and then at Chu Xiao's lonely back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Fortunately, a few more patients came next, and Tong Xiang was so busy that he naturally didn't have time to think about these things.

It's just that what should be faced is always faced, and at dinnertime, the two of them inevitably sat together.

"Brother Chu Xiao, I can already memorize the three-character scripture."

Tong Hua came to the dinner table and went straight to Chu Xiao, his face full of pride.

Chu Xiao smiled slightly, touched his head gently, and only said "Okay, awesome" and said no more.

Tong Hua saw that Chu Xiao was in a bad mood today, so he didn't say anything more.

Tong Xiang naturally knew that he was still worried about the afternoon's affairs, and was thinking about how to speak, but Chu Xiao was already one step ahead of her.

"When I checked the information today, I found that the white flower you said is somewhat similar to the royal rice flower."

Tong Xiang also immediately came to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face, "Really? ”

Today, there is an endless stream of patients all day, and it is all evening, and Tong Xiang has no time to think about the matter of white flowers.

Seeing Tong Xiang's smile like a flower, the haze in Chu Xiao's heart was also swept away.

He sighed slightly, "I don't know much about herbs, but they do look a little similar, but the flowers are too delicate." ”

Tong Xiang nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, let's go and have a look together after eating in a while." ”

While eating, Chu Xiao's eyes still drifted to Tong Xiang's hand from time to time.

Finally, he still couldn't hold back, "Your hand, are you okay?" ”

Tong Xiang, who was eating, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand casually, "Thank you for the medicine, it's okay now." ”

Chu Xiao smiled and nodded after hearing this, "You should still pay attention." ”

"Xiang'er, what's going on?"

As soon as Li heard that Tong Xiang was injured, he immediately became nervous.

Since Tong Xiang became powerful, their family has experienced a lot of hardships, and the Li family also feels very sorry for their daughter.

Tong Xiang breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Mother, I was accidentally scalded by water, don't worry."

Li Shi pulled Tong Xiang's hand over with a distressed expression, "How old is it, why are you so careless?" ”

Tong Xiang smiled and didn't speak again.

Since coming to this world, she has indeed felt the care of her relatives, and the vacancy in her heart has been filled little by little.

But sometimes, the care of loved ones is really a sweet burden.

After dinner, Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao went into the house to read the medical books.

To be honest, when Tong Xiang heard the name of "Yumihua", his mood was not much easier.

After all, she hadn't heard of the name at all for so many years.

When he came to the house, Chu Xiao handed the book to Tong Xiang.

"I'm not sure if these two things are the same thing, but they look a little similar."

The book was a little old, the pages were even yellowed, and it already smelled a little musty in my hand from a distance.

Tong Xiang looked at the already somewhat blurry handwriting, and his face was solemn.

This vague pattern, not even a color, how did Chu Xiao determine that this flower was somewhat similar to the white flower?

As if he saw Tong Xiang's doubts, he handed the white flower in front of Tong Xiang.

"You see, this white flower has four petals, nearly round or nearly fan-shaped, and so is this royal rice flower, and the lower edge of this white flower is round, and so is the royal rice flower."

According to Chu Xiao's words, Tong Xiang did find some similarities.

Tong Xiang looked at the record of the royal rice flower again, and saw that the book read: "The royal rice flower is extremely luxuriant, the flower stem is drawn in March and April, the green bud is formed, the flower is budding, the flower is large and gorgeous, and one has several colors." ”

When Tong Xiang saw this, something suddenly appeared in his mind - poppy.

She remembered reading a few medical books before, which seemed to describe poppies like this.

It's just that the poppy flower is incomparably gorgeous, and this white flower is obviously different from it.

Tong Xiang put the book down and sighed softly, "Chu Xiao, can you go with me to the neighboring village to pick a few fresh white flowers now?" ”

Although Tong Xiang is an out-and-out human being in the new century, she is still a little afraid of ghosts.

And after all, this is in the feudal era, if it is rumored that a girl will go to pick up someone's grave alone at night, I am afraid that the business of the pharmacy will not be able to continue.

When Chu Xiao learned what Tong Xiang meant, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Are you sure the present is over?"

Tong Xiang nodded seriously, "Only at night I still have some time to study and study these things, and I have to be busy with the affairs of the medicine hall during the day, so I don't have time at all." ”

Chu Xiao wasn't afraid, but I'm afraid that Tong Xiang just confirmed it on a whim.

The two hit it off, looked at each other and smiled before leaving the room.

The words that the hall master of Rende Hall came over this afternoon really made Tong Xiang a little anxious.

She is now relying on the medicine hall to make money, if this big business is robbed, her life will only become more and more difficult in the future.

Along the way, both men were silent.

The closer he got to the cemetery, the harder Chu Xiao grabbed Tong Xiang's hand.

Tong Xiang chuckled in a low voice, "Chu Xiao, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid you're afraid." Chu Xiao snorted coldly, looking arrogant.

Tong Xiang looked up at Chu Xiao's righteous face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger.

At night, the white flowers on the grave looked even more luxuriant, and Tong Xiang's eyes immediately lit up.

"I didn't expect it to arrive so soon."

Chu Xiao walked quickly in front of Tong Xiang and stared at Tong Xiang's eyes with a serious face, "You stand here, I'll just go over." ”

Tong Xiang knew that Chu Xiao was for her own good, but she still had to inspect the growth environment of the white flowers.

Chu Xiao saw that you Tong Xiang didn't speak for a long time, and sighed helplessly.

"I know I can't resist you, so grab my clothes and don't get too far away from me."

The two of them walked one after the other, Tong Xiang looked at Chu Xiao who was walking in front, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

If it weren't for the environment the two of them are in now, what a romantic scene this would be.

Chu Xiao stood in front of the grave first and bowed deeply, "I have offended a lot, please forgive me." ”

After doing this, he pulled Tong Xiang to pick white flowers.

When Chu Xiao's eyes fell on the white flower, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"You see, it's not all white."

Tong Xiang looked at Chu Xiao's eyes with a look of surprise.

"The bottom of this flower is slightly pink, and although the color is very light, you can really see the difference."

It's just that in this way, Tong Xiang has greater doubts in his heart.

Why are the white flowers at home pure white?

With this momentous discovery, the two men walked around the neighborhood again to see if all the flowers had this condition.

After turning around here, Tong Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"What is it that can be seen by the moonlight that this flower is slightly pink, and it grows under the tree, and it is all white when it is rarely illuminated?"

The night was getting darker, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

In the cemetery, Chu Xiao and Tong Xiang stood opposite each other, looking a little out of place.

After being silent for a long time, Tong Xiang sighed helplessly, "Let's bring some of these flowers over to the roots, and I'll go back and take a closer look." ”

After going back, Tong Xiang did not rush to use the power of the ancient ring, but carefully compared the shape characteristics of the white flower and the imperial rice flower.

Chu Xiao watched Tong Xiang observe these things little by little under the microscope, although he didn't understand, he was also accompanying him.

Seeing that Tong Tong Xiang finally straightened up, Chu Xiao hurriedly walked over and helped her sit down.

"It's so late, if you can't hold on, let's rest first."

Tong Xiang looked at Chu Xiao and waved his hand, "It's nothing, just for a short while, I can still survive." ”

"Now that you've finished observing, have you found anything?"

Chu Xiao sighed helplessly, he thought that if he helped Tong Xiang find a record about this flower, things would become easier in the future.

He never imagined that the current Tong Xiang was even more tired than before.

Tong Xiang swallowed the water into his stomach and patted Chu Xiao's shoulder excitedly.

"Brother, thanks to you this time, I now know which direction I should go to research, and the progress after that will be faster."

If the rice flower is the poppy, then the next thing is much simpler.

In his previous life, Tong Xiang also had an understanding of this kind of thing.

One of their brothers was seriously ill and went to the hospital, but he barely survived with morphine-based analgesics.

She had previously dismissed poppy drugs that could paralyze people's nerves and make people addictive, but it was then that she began to change her perspective on these things.

Looking at Tong Xiang's bright smile, the smile on the corner of Chu Xiao's lips also rippled.

"It would be nice to be able to help you."
