Chapter 18 Gathering together
Regardless of anything else, the guy can be very sure that the groups of people just now were obviously rich or noble. Their dress, manners and demeanor are definitely not something ordinary people can have.
At this time, Gu Yunzhou had already entered the room in the clinic where Qin was temporarily housed. Qin was still lying unconscious on the bed, with silver needles inserted all over her body. The white-haired Mr. Mo was giving Qin acupuncture from time to time, and he looked up when he heard the noise.
"Doctor Mo, how is my mother? I have found the Snow Spirit Grass. Do you think we can use it right now?" Gu Yunzhou handed over the box that he had been holding against his chest, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Did you really find the Snow Spirit Grass?" Doctor Mo took the box in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
Originally, he just said it casually, without holding any hope in his heart. After all, even their Huichuntang didn't have such a spiritual object, how could a young man who looked like he came from an ordinary family find it in just half a day?
He carefully took the box and gently opened the lid. He saw a small, delicate, emerald green grass with narrow leaves lying quietly inside. Instantly, a strange and enchanting fragrance wafted from the box, filling the entire room.
"It's really Snow Spirit Grass!" Doctor Mo's eyes gleamed with excitement, his voice trembling. This herb was extremely rare, and he had only handled it once, when the wealthy Wang family of Liuyun Town used it to treat his seriously ill wife. Seeing this precious Snow Spirit Grass again, Doctor Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and nostalgia.
"Doctor Mo, if this Snow Spirit Grass is real, how should I let my mother take it? She is unconscious and can't swallow anything!"
Gu Yunzhou anxiously looked at Qin, whose life or death was uncertain, and his heart was burning with worry. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if only this could slightly ease the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
Master Mo understood Gu Yunzhou's concerns, but he remained calm. Instead, he consoled him, "Don't worry, young man. With this magical herb, your mother's illness will surely be cured. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"With that, Master Mo no longer hesitated and quickly mobilized the Wen Qi within his body. A pale white Wen Qi rose like clouds, tightly enveloping the Snow Spirit Grass in the box. As the Wen Qi surged, the Snow Spirit Grass quickly melted, transforming into a ball of emerald green liquid, as translucent as jade.
Gu Yunzhou's eyes widened, watching everything unfold before him intently, a new understanding of this magical world emerging. Doctor Mo's forehead was sweating, clearly struggling. Suddenly, he shouted, "Go!" Immediately, the liquid quickly vanished from Qin's mouth.
"Huff, huff...Okay, your mother will wake up soon. Just take good care of herself after you go home!" Doctor Mo was so tired that he slumped in the chair beside him, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve while giving instructions to Gu Yunzhou.
"Thank you, Dr. Mo!" Gu Yunzhou was overjoyed and bowed respectfully to Dr. Mo.
"Mr. Gu, excuse me, is there anything we can help you with?" Just then, a voice came from the door. Gu Yunzhou turned around with a little surprise and found that Zhao Kuo and another person who had just been arguing over the poem were standing outside the door at some point.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yunzhou looked confused. The poems had already been sold to the young man named Wei Gongzi, so there was no point for them to follow him.
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhou's heart was moved. It seemed that these people saw the value behind the national poem. However, he did not become complacent. Instead, he smiled slightly and bowed to Zhao Kuo and others to express his gratitude. "Thank you all for your kindness. I am deeply grateful. However, I don't need any help at the moment, but if I need it in the future, I will definitely ask for your assistance. As for my mother's matter, I will trouble the Zhao family to take care of it."
Zhao Kuo was delighted to see him so modest. He smiled and said, "Very well, very polite, Master Gu. In that case, we will not disturb you and let this doctor treat the old woman."
As he spoke, he and the middle-aged man beside him stood aside, no longer speaking, seemingly showing no intention of leaving. A glint of thought flashed in Gu Yunzhou's eyes. Although this sudden friendship had surprised him somewhat, in the long run, perhaps this was an opportunity to elevate his status.
"Zhao Kuo, you are quite quick. Mr. Gu, my Li family is also willing to make friends with you. If you have time, you can come to the Li family as a guest. I have several nieces who are well-educated. They can ask you for advice then!" As a fragrant breeze blew over, Li Furong also walked in slowly.
"Li Furong, why did you follow me here?" Zhao Kuo glared at Li Furong. This woman was not a good person, or rather, their entire Li family was not a good person. The Li family was different from other families. Their head was a woman, but her methods were no worse than those of men, and she was best at planning behind the scenes.
Li Furong is the cousin of the head of the family. She is quite capable and has a say in the Li family. If she takes a fancy to someone, she will definitely use all means to tie him up on the Li family's warship.
"Zhao Kuo, could it be that you built the road to Liuyun Town? Why can't I come? Besides, I came here with Master Gu, so it has nothing to do with you!"
Li Furong glanced at Zhao Kuo lightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes seemed to be smiling, her tone was still gentle, but full of sarcasm.
"Haha, I'm just asking casually, why are you so nervous?" Zhao Kuo sneered and responded without showing any weakness: "However, since you said it has nothing to do with me, then I feel relieved. After all, I was the one who invited Mr. Gu first." After saying that, he looked at Li Furong deliberately provocatively, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Humph, who doesn't know what you're thinking? Don't think I don't know what you men are thinking." Li Furong said contemptuously, then turned to the people behind her and said, "Everyone, please follow me in."
Just when the two were at loggerheads and the atmosphere was tense, a gentle voice suddenly rang out: "Um, could you please make way? We want to come in!" This sudden voice broke the tense atmosphere and attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh, the kid from the Wei family is here too!" Li Furong raised her eyebrows and sneered, with a look of disdain on her face.
She was not happy with Wei Yu, who had taken the national poem in his pocket just a step ahead of her. Zhao Kuo, standing beside her, had a gloomy face and a frown on his face, clearly unhappy with Wei Yu's arrival.
