“Then why did you say it’s a benefit?” Zhao Qi suddenly felt that his colleague was not very reliable.

“There must be a cause of the poison in Master’s legs,” Zhao Shijiu replied. “If we find the cause, we might be able to detoxify Master’s poison. By then, Master’s legs will recover. Isn’t that a good thing? ”

Zhao Qi’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he gathered his courage to ask Nan Jinyu if he had found anything unusual in the past two days.

Nan Jinyu carefully recalled what had happened in the past few days. The only unusual thing was that he had pitied a little girl and bought all her peaches with silver.

Yes, the peach!

Nan Jinyu turned to look at the fruit plate on the table, deep in thought.

However, Zhao Shijiu had already experienced it and knew something unusual about the peaches.

“Bring me another peach.” Nan Jinyu suddenly spoke.

Zhao Shijiu had a premonition and quickly walked over to take the peach. This time, his expression was serious, and he got rid of his carefree attitude.

Nan Jinyu endured the feeling of satiety and ate another peach. He then closed her eyes and began to adjust his internal energy.

This time, he could feel that while his stomach was digesting the peach, a gentle stream of air flowed through his blood vessels and traveled to his legs. When it came into contact with the poison in his legs, he began to feel uncomfortable again.

However, this kind of discomfort made him happy instead of worried.

This peach could cure his poison!

However, the energy contained in the peach was too low to remove the poison. It was why Nan Jinyu felt uncomfortable.

The poison in his body was something that even the top-tier doctor could not cure. Nan Jinyu had thought his legs would remain like this for the rest of his life, but he had never expected to see hope again.

“You guys go out first.” Nan Jinyu suppressed the joy in his heart and ordered.

“Master, should I reapply the acupuncture to suppress the poison?”

“No need, go down.”

Before Zhao Shijiu could finish, he was interrupted by Nan Jinyu.

After the two of them left, Nan Jinyu called for another person.

After instructing him to look into Gu Nian’s whereabouts, Nan Jinyu also reminded him to buy everything that Gu Nian was selling in the future.

After that, Nan Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Shijiu were capable. However, they were still the emperor’s men. They could protect him, but Nan Jinyu could not guarantee they wouldn’t rat on him.

And he didn’t want to hurt the little girl he met on the street.

No matter what secret she had, or if it was just a coincidence, he thought it was better not to expose her.

On the other hand, Gu Nian was sitting on the ox cart and enjoying the scenery. She had no idea that she was being watched.

Most of the land in ancient times had not been developed. There were only a few villages on the road from the town to Taohua Village. The rests were vast forests and wild grass.

From time to time, they could see rabbits running away from the surrounding forest, but they could not catch them.

Last time, a rabbit hit Gu Nian’s legs and got caught. It was a once-in-a-lifetime incident. It probably would not happen again.

By the time the ox cart arrived home, Gu Nian had already fallen asleep.

“Son, what’s wrong with you?”

Mrs. Jiang’s shrill cry scared Gu Nian so much that she shivered. All the sleepiness flew away, and she woke up immediately.

Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang had already carried Erhu into the house. Dahu quickly took the things off the cart while Gu Nian jumped off the cart herself to take the small things home.

Erhu was brought to the main room. After Mrs. Jiang found out what happened, she cursed Master Li and his ancestors.
