Su Xi's first reaction was, of course, that she preferred the finely crafted silver hairpin. No girl could resist good-looking jewelry!

What's more, the silver hairpin was antique and the hollow pattern was exceptionally exquisite. The fragrant white pattern was completely ancient. In modern times, it looked like an antique!

She almost forgot that this was a game for a moment. She excitedly sat up straight on the sofa and stretched out her fingers to dig — she wanted to dig out the silver hairpin.

But obviously, this subconscious action was too stupid. How could she dig out something in the game?!

Su Xi held the screen and complained.

She didn't know if she should blame the game's original artist for drawing the silver hairpin too beautifully, or blame Zaizai's gift for touching the young girl's heart.

She wanted it, but she couldn't get it.

She had checked before. The game interface didn't have a backpack system, only a Zaizai's harvest column.

But obviously, this gift didn't belong to the harvest.

She wanted to put this gift into the backpack like in other games, but she couldn't do it.

— Then, how could she take it away?!

Su Xi used her fingers to fiddle with the silver hairpin on the table. Listening to the crisp and pleasant sound it made, her heart itched, but she couldn't do anything about this silver hairpin.

… But even if she couldn't take it away, she couldn't just leave this gift here and ignore it.

Otherwise, when Zaizai came back and saw that the gift was untouched, she would be very disappointed. She would have to sit alone under the sunset like last time, showing a sad expression …

Su Xi slapped her thigh: Got it!

Although she was a little reluctant, this was the only way.

She pressed the screen with her fingers and moved the silver hairpin.

The silver hairpin was picked up from the table. Immediately, it was illuminated by the light from outside the window. It looked silver like the moonlight, even more beautiful.

Su Xi originally only wanted to take the silver hairpin, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on the equally exquisite man's belt on the table.

Greed was probably an instinctive desire of human beings.

She couldn't help but pick up the belt. Then, with the excitement of picking up a treasure, she switched the interface to the bamboo forest far away from the woodshed.

She planned to find a place to bury these two gifts first.

This way, for Zaizai, it would be a gift. She had already accepted it.

After redeeming the item from the shop, Su Xi bought a digging and filling operation. He carefully placed the two boxes inside and covered them with soil.

Although it was a bit of a pity, that was all they could do for now.

Su Xi looked at the present that he had buried for a while. He remembered a few of the more unique bamboos around him and planned to dig it out himself when Zaizai left Prince Ning Fu and changed the map. Then, he would bring it along with him.

Su Xi was so excited about the sudden gift that she couldn't put down her phone. She switched the interface back to the house and continued to think of ways to make the bow that Zaizai needed.

Naturally, everything was available in the store. From expensive to cheap, there were "Crescent Wolf Bone Arrows", "Oolong Iron Spine Arrows", "Phoenix Feather Arrows", "Birch Feather Arrows", "Wood Feather Arrows", "Wood Feather Bamboo Arrows", "Wooden Water Arrows", "Hunter Arrows", "Common Bows and Arrows", "Broken Bows and Arrows", etc.

Various pictures were listed, and the most expensive one looked exceptionally sturdy and sharp!

If it was the Su Xi who didn't win the lottery before, she would only be able to buy the most common bow at most if she was stingy.

But now, she only wanted to spend money and give Zaizai the best, so her finger moved to the most expensive "Crescent Wolf Bone Arrows" without hesitation, which cost 2,000 gold coins.

But as soon as she touched it, a message popped up below – Only used by the royal family.

It turned out that the royal totem was engraved on it.

The best bow that the princes could use was the Phoenix Feather Arrows.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Zaizai, Su Xi had to give it up for the time being and buy the best Phoenix Feather Arrow that she could choose from!

Soon, a beautifully shaped Phoenix Feather Arrow that was as round as the autumn moon was placed on the table.

Su Xi thought of the side quest and excitedly picked up a red silk from the store and tied it to the bow.

This side quest was a bonus question. It might be used to adjust the rhythm of the game. It was very simple, but it took a lot of effort to tie the bow through the screen. It still took Su Xi half a day.

After she finally tied it in a crooked manner, the system popped up the reward for completing the quest:

"The first side quest has been completed. Reward: + 50 gold coins, + 2 points."

The system asked, "The current points have reached 17 points. You can choose a section to unlock. Which section do you want to unlock?"

Every time a new section was unlocked, Su Xi was a little excited because the details of the scenery in the game were very exquisite. The bluestone roads, corridors, and eaves were all very beautiful.

Every time a new section was lit up on the map, it was as if she was exploring the entire ancient capital step by step, or even the entire Yan Dynasty.

It was a very novel feeling.

Su Xi said, "Let's see where Zaizai is first."

The map popped up. The capital outside Prince Ning Fu was very big. It was divided into four sections: the palace, the inner city, the outer city, and the moat.

Su Xi didn't look at the specific division for now. Anyway, it was similar to the inner ring road, first, second, and third ring roads.

Near the moat, there was a building that looked like a temple. Zaizai's light was shining.

"Where is that?" Su Xi was surprised. It was the first time she saw Zaizai run so far.

The system explained, "The Yong An Temple in the capital. The Empress Dowager once came to offer incense, so the incense is very strong.

However, there was a frost disaster this winter. It snowed heavily for a few months. People outside the capital starved for thousands of miles, and refugees lost their homes.

There were also many people in the capital who were infected with colds. There was no medicine to treat them, so they gathered at the Yong An Temple, hoping to meet some high officials and nobles to ask for an explanation. "

Su Xi felt that a new plot was about to be unlocked. She immediately said, "Help me unlock the Yong An Temple."

Lu Huan went to the market today. He originally planned to use the money left after buying the silver hairpin and pearl belt to buy birch wood and feather. However, these materials couldn't be found in ordinary markets. Therefore, he left the inner city and went to the mountains outside the city.

However, he didn't expect that along the way, all he saw were people who were infected with colds and couldn't find a doctor. They were dying and waiting to die!

Where did the doctors go?

It turned out that a few days ago, when he was infected with colds, there was an outbreak of colds in the capital. It spread like a plague, and more than ten of Prince Ning Fu's servants were fired and chased away because of it.

Naturally, the doctors in the capital were all hurriedly invited away by the high officials and nobles to treat them.

As for these ordinary people, if they had some savings, they could still invite a doctor. However, if they were poor, then they could only wait for death.

These people weren't willing to wait for death. Therefore, they all gathered at the Yong An Temple, trying to ask for an explanation.

On the way to the outer city, there were people who were coughing with colds. There were a few kind-hearted doctors who set up stalls outside their shops. A huge crowd of people was waiting for help. It was a shocking sight.

The more he walked, the more his brows furrowed.

Su Xi opened the brand new map of the Yong An Temple. The first thing she found was Zaizai in the crowd.

It was the first time she saw Zaizai's outfit when he went out. She saw that he was wearing a long robe made of animal skin. He especially wore a black cloak on his head to prevent Prince Ning Fu's people from recognizing him.

The little ball of milk blended into the crowd and walked forward with his hands behind his back. His face was cold and solemn, and he looked more valiant than usual.

Su Xi was about to find it funny when she was suddenly shocked by the sick people lying all over the ground of the Yong An Temple.

There were people all over the ground!

Because of the cold that couldn't be cured, they were lying sickly in the corner, as if they would die in the next second!

There were old people with wrinkles all over their faces, children who were still in swaddling clothes being carried by their mothers, and young men who had the same illness. They were all weak, had a high fever, and felt cold all over.

Although these people on the game screen were all cartoon figures, Su Xi was still shocked and couldn't bear to see them like this!

So, the plague caused by the cold in ancient times was so terrifying?!

It was simply a disaster. She didn't know how many people would die this winter!

Although the doctors tried their best to treat them, it was obvious that their medical skills were limited. They could only use herbs and local prescriptions to save those who were less sick. Some of the people who had a high fever that didn't go down for days had pale faces, and the doctors had already given up on them.

Su Xi never thought that this viral cold, which was very common in modern times, could cause so many people to die in the ancient times of the game.

That day, she only bought one dose of medicine, and Zaizai only drank it once, and he recovered quickly!

— — Didn't that mean that the medicine she bought from the shop could save all the people here?!

While this thought flashed through Su Xi's mind, Lu Huan was looking at the people who were in pain all over the ground. She frowned and was also thinking about the same thing.

He had a very serious cold that day, but he almost recovered after one night. The cold medicine that the person gave him was actually so effective?!

That person always seemed to have a lot of novel things, including the cold shelter that she had never seen before.

She didn't know what was inside the medicine. If she could identify the ingredients, would she be able to pick the herbs to save these women and children?

In order to hide the peace, the officials in the inner city were afraid that the people in the palace would find out, so they had already started to drive the people who were infected with the plague out of the capital.

The people were cold and bitter, and they cried to the heavens and the earth.

But the officials in the city were singing and dancing day and night, celebrating the peace.

Lu Huan turned around, and his gaze paused slightly on an eight-year-old child whose hands were red from the cold and who was on the verge of death.

His eyes were obscure, and after a moment, he forced himself to look away.

At this moment, a new main mission popped up on Su Xi's interface:

[Prompt, please accept main mission 4: Assist the protagonist in creating a miraculous cold medicine. Become an unknown miracle doctor in the capital, buy the hearts of thousands of people, and earn 50 taels of silver within 10 days with the cold medicine.]

[Mission reward: 500 gold coins, 6 points, difficulty level: 8 stars.]

Wait, 50 taels —?

Su Xi was startled at first, but when she saw the words' reward ', her fighting spirit was immediately aroused!

However, even without this mission, she saw how Zaizai stood in place and looked at the poor child from afar. She also felt that Zaizai had already made up his mind to do this.

She didn't know what Zaizai was thinking.

However, she had seen Zai Zai reading the most among the books in his closet. The one he had read the most was a picture of the Peaceful World of the Clear River and the Peaceful Sea, and the Prosperous Seasons.

At the same time, in Prince Ning Fu, Lady Ning was pacing back and forth in Lu Wenxiu's room, constantly fiddling with the prayer beads in her hand. She was so anxious that she lost her mind.

Previously, after being rescued from the stream, Lu Wenxiu had been coughing and running a fever. She thought it was just a cold and asked a doctor to take a look and drink medicine according to the schedule.

But she never expected that after so many days, she still hadn't recovered!

Moreover, Lu Wenxiu's condition had completely deteriorated three days ago. He couldn't get out of bed at all. His fever wouldn't subside and he had lost his mind.

The imperial doctor from the palace even shook his head and said, "Second Young Master's body was weak to begin with. After falling into the ice lake, the cold air was stimulated. There's no other way now. We can only hope that Heaven helps the worthy."

These words were vague, but it meant that there was no way to save the desperate situation.

If even the imperial doctor couldn't do anything, where could they find a better doctor?!

Madam King Ning had never expected that when she was planning how to kill that bastard during the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunting Competition, her own son would fall into a fatal illness because of the self-inflicted fall into the lake a few days ago!

She felt a sharp pain in her heart and sat down on the stool.

The old madame had always been practicing martial arts. Her body was strong and healthy. Moreover, after being rescued, she immediately had a stove to warm herself. It was fine that she didn't fall ill.

But why was that bastard staying in Prince Ning Fu for days without worrying about his health?!

Lady Ning was anxious and hateful, but she also felt sorry for Lu Wenxiu. She almost ground her teeth to pieces.

Lu Huan's plan to buy birch wood and feathers was once again put on hold. This wasn't an urgent matter. He was confident that he could win with ordinary bows and arrows, but the lives of these commoners couldn't be delayed.

After he made up his mind, he immediately went to carry it out. He immediately returned to the city and entered a medicine shop.

Lu Huan was familiar with all kinds of herbs. He had opened the medicine bag that the person left behind that day and saw that it wasn't filled with ground medicinal powder. Instead, it was filled with all kinds of medicinal ingredients that needed to be boiled. Lu Huan had taken a cursory look and memorized the ingredients.

At that time, as a precaution, other than sending some cold medicine to Fourth Concubine, he also left a bag in the closet.

Now, he only needed to buy some of these ingredients back and compare them to the previous bag. He would rely on weighing the ingredients to calculate the prescription for the miracle medicine that person had sent over.

However, he didn't know if that person would be willing to let him use the medicine to save people.

After Lu Huan finished buying the ingredients, he returned to his Firewood Courtyard with a heavy heart.

He took large strides as he passed through the bamboo forest, but when he pushed open the door, he hesitated for a moment.

Even though he had left a note last time and that person hadn't given him any response, he had been a bit disappointed. However, this time, he still didn't give up and a faint hope rose in his heart — — he hoped to receive a response from that person.

… … However, what if that person still didn't respond to him this time?

Lu Huan clenched the medicine bag in his hand and did his best to suppress the absurd anticipation in his heart.

He restrained his expression and walked in.

After sorting out his thoughts, he looked at the table again, and this time — —

"… …"

Lu Huan didn't want to do this, but his eyes lit up in an instant.

He stood by the window and was illuminated by the light of the setting sun outside. His usually cold face had a hint of ecstasy on it.

This was … … the first time in fourteen years that he had shown the expression of a young man.

However, he seemed to have suddenly realized his own emotions … … He tried his best to be expressionless and keep a straight face.

He quickly walked to the table and tried to pretend that there was nothing sparkling in his eyes.

On the table, the gifts had been taken away.

Both of them had been taken away.

That person had finally seen them and had finally responded.

Although he didn't know if that person had seen through his thoughts and wasn't willing to tell him their gender, they had taken away both of them.

However, Lu Huan's emotions still rippled.

… … After all, before, he had only received things from that person. Now, at least it meant that he could interact with that person.

He pursed his lips.

In addition to the gifts that had been taken away, there was one more thing on the table.

His gaze fell on the Phoenix Feather Bow tied with a strange knot, and he was slightly startled — — the bow was very exquisite. The bow was made of precious poplar wood, and the short arrows were made of phoenix feathers. The bow had a large head and a small tail, and it was extremely sharp. It was a bow that most of the heirs could use.

Apart from the Phoenix Feather Arrow, the other better bows could only be used by the royal family.

All he wanted was a birch feather bow, but that person seemed to have tried her best to give him something better.

Realizing this, Lu Huan picked up the bow, and his heart trembled slightly.

Outside the screen, Su Xi had been following Zaizai back from the temple, looking forward to his expression when he saw the bow she had given him.

She happily waited for Zaizai to show a surprised expression, but she only saw — —

Zaizai's face was expressionless and cold, and there was not the slightest hint of joy or anger.

Su Xi:???

No, he had received the bow of his dreams. Was he not happy at all?

Zaizai, I know you're not lively enough. I don't ask you to jump up and give me a hug, but at least smile!

But just as Su Xi felt no sense of accomplishment and was about to pass out, on the screen, a white bubble slowly appeared on top of Zaizai's head.

In the white bubble, there was a little heart.

As if she was shy, her happy little heart bubbled and quickly shrank back into her chest.

Su Xi: … …

Su Xi's heart trembled. He threw down the phone, threw himself on the sofa pillow, and covered his face.
