Chapter 18: Here He Comes
Gu Manxi knelt on one knee beside the bed.
On the side, Steward Wu stood behind him, secretly wiping his tears with his sleeve.
The eldest lady of his family has finally returned.
Murong Wanting was also standing behind Gu Manxi, and after Lu Jingfeng sent Xiao Qingluo in, he left.
Without Lu Jingfeng present, she was much more relaxed.
She smelled a strange smell coming from nowhere, covered her nose, and stepped back in disgust.
"Man'er, Man'er...... It's really you, you're really back......"
Old lady Gu's eyes were red, and his hands, which were only flesh and skin, were holding Gu Manxi tightly, as if he had something to say to her.
"Man'er...... Grandfather is sorry for you, Man'er...... Grandfather is wrong, grandfather should prevent you from marrying Shen Feng, that villain, you have been bullied in the Shen family, grandfather has no ability to protect you, grandfather is useless. ”
Old lady Gu said a lot in one breath, and he looked at Gu Manxi with a lot of guilt in his heart.
At the beginning, Shen Feng was introduced to his granddaughter.
"Grandfather, Manxi has never blamed his grandfather, and it's not his grandfather's fault."
When appeasing the old lady Gu, Gu Manxi took the old lady's pulse by the way.
The pulse was very messy, not like he was sick, but like he was poisoned.
She called out the fox treasure in her mind again, and let the fox treasure's little radar scan the old lady Gu's whole body.
[Master Manman, the old lady has been poisoned by the water of the Bone Evil, which is made from the water of the Corrupted Lands and some special herbs to make a dark liquid. ]
The fox treasure was on Gu Manxi's shoulder, lying on his stomach with his little head [This poison is poisonous and cunning, gradually eroding the bones, making the poisoned person extremely painful, and the bones are gradually shattered, resulting in paralysis and inability to move in bed, from the surface, it looks like he has some serious illness and is bedridden. 】
[Manman's little master, if you want to solve this poison, you can only prepare traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect of Western medicine is not good, but Hubao only has one herb of "Qingdai", and it needs to be made of three other herbs, the other three herbs are deep mountain wild Ganoderma lucidum, blood mangdan, and Nanxue grass, these three precious herbs. 】
Fox Bao was very naughty, and jumped from Gu Manxi's shoulder to her head [Little Master Manman, Fox Bao just opened an ancient book, and there is a record on it, the names of the three flavors of medicinal materials I mentioned above are the same, and some herbs have not changed after thousands of years. ]
[This is good news, little master Manman, as long as we find these three herbs, we can make a decoction with "Qing Dai", and drink it for a few days, so that the bones of the old lady's whole body can be reshaped and become a normal person. 】
After saying this, Hu Bao jumped down from Gu Manxi's head again, spun around in mid-air, went back, and disappeared.
Gu Man froze, and then, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Who could have poisoned her grandfather like that?
Old Lady Gu's body was very weak, so she talked to Gu Man for a while, and learned that Gu Manxi wanted to go to Bixiao Academy to break through.
Old lady Gu was worried, and also told Gu Manxi a lot about King Li's Mansion, hoping that Gu Manxi could dispel the idea of marrying into King Li's Mansion.
But persuasion was useless, and seeing that Gu Manxi had already made a decision, Old Lady Gu sighed, and after retiring everyone, she left Gu Manxi alone in the room.
When only Gu Manxi and the old lady were left, because God couldn't get up, he asked Gu Manxi to take out the wooden box hidden under the bed.
There was a lock on the wooden box, and the key had been carried by Old Lady Gu, so he took the key and handed it to Gu Manxi, asking her to open the wooden box.
After the wooden box is opened.
Gu Manxi saw a wooden token with some words engraved on it that she couldn't read, and a dragon and tiger head pattern logo engraved on the back.
"Man'er, this token was left by your mother, hide it, it will be useful to you in the future, remember, don't mention it to anyone, you have it."
"What is this? What's the use? ”
Gu Manxi took the token in the wooden box in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Man'er, now. You don't need to know what it does, the time has not yet come, and when the time comes, you will know. ”
Since the old lady didn't want to say more, Gu Manxi didn't ask more.
She hid the wooden token on her body and put the empty wooden box back.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The housekeeper reported outside: "Miss, King Li is here......"
