I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince

Chapter 20

Su Xi put down her phone temporarily and went to have dinner. After dinner, she quickly returned to her room and opened the game interface.

While she was having dinner, the hardworking Zaizai had already done a lot of things.

In addition to harvesting eggs every day and preparing zucchini and other crops every day, he also spent some effort to find a way to weigh the ratio of coptis, phellodendron, dried ginger, monkshood, and other medicinal herbs in the bag of medicine that Su Xi gave him before.

He returned to his room and spread out a piece of paper in front of the table. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, and his expression was focused. The lines of his wrist were clean and slender, and he had the toughness of a young man.

Of course, from Su Xi's point of view, it was just a cartoon Zaizai with short arms and legs standing in front of the table. His expression was solemn … and a small part of his white arm was exposed.

However, Su Xi was quite shocked when she saw him write down the prescription so smoothly. As a liberal arts student with average grades, she was completely confused when it came to this kind of fine calculation down to the milligram. She asked the System, "Is Zaizai's ratio correct?!"

The System said, "It's not wrong at all."

"…!" Su Xi never thought that she would one day admire the protagonist of a game!

Zaizai woke up early and went to bed late. He was hardworking and conscientious. He was smart and had a photographic memory. Although he came from a humble background, he was ambitious and pitied the people. What else could he not do?!

Su Xi was in awe. However, she immediately asked another question, "Will the medicine that he made according to the ratio of the medicine in the shop work?

Or will it have to be the original medicine that he bought from the shop to work? "

The System said, "The medicine in the shop has a 100% increase in effect. The medicine that he made naturally won't be as effective as the medicine in the shop.

However, according to this 1: 1 formula, it will have at least an 80% effect. It's enough to cure those who are seriously ill. "

Su Xi couldn't help but nod. One had to know that in ancient times, the herbs that the doctors prescribed were almost useless. Even the imperial doctors in the palace needed ten days to half a month to completely cure a person of typhoid.

However, since the effect of her medicine was better, she would buy more from the Merchant City and send it to Zaizai tonight.

With this thought in mind, Su Xi saw Zaizai quickly write down the prescription. Then, he spread out the large pile of medicinal herbs that he bought with five taels of silver and grabbed them one by one. Soon, he had prepared fifteen prescriptions.

Because it was the peak period of typhoid in the city, the price of medicine increased. His five taels of silver couldn't buy many herbs, so in the end, he could only make so many prescriptions.

According to this dosage, he could only save fifteen people.

However, Zaizaizai seemed to have other plans.

After grabbing the medicine, he temporarily put it aside and walked to the side of the table.

He raised the brush and frowned slightly, as if he was pondering about what to write.

Su Xi was a little nervous when he saw him start writing. It was as if he was watching the other party send a text message and he couldn't reply. However, he was curious about what he was going to write, so he couldn't help but zoom in on the screen and zoom in on him and the paper on the table.

Lu Huan stared at the Phoenix Feather Bow, which was tied with a bright red ribbon, and pondered for a long time.

No matter what, this Phoenix Feather Bow wasn't something that an ordinary person could afford, or rather, make.

In addition, the robes that person sent over were all luxurious clothes and brocade fur coats. These were all very valuable. Moreover, they seemed like things that only people in the imperial palace or other people with status in the capital could come into contact with.

From these, it could be inferred that that person's identity was definitely not ordinary.

In addition, there was a novel cold shelter and a prescription for typhoid medicine that had never been heard of before. From these, it could be inferred that that person should be proficient in mechanisms and medicine.

In addition, that person came and went as he pleased. He should be highly skilled in martial arts.

Lu Huan carefully analyzed in his heart. Who in the capital could satisfy these three characteristics at the same time?

But for a while, he couldn't figure it out.

The first time he left a note, he directly asked who that person was. That person didn't reply at all, which meant that he didn't want to reveal his identity. If he was willing to tell, he wouldn't have avoided him every time.

But the second time, he left two gifts, and that person was willing to take them. This meant that although he didn't want to reveal his identity, he was still willing to communicate with him.

Since that was the case, why not think of a way to find out more about the other party?

Su Xi looked at Zaizai on the screen and pondered for a long time. Finally, he put his pen to the paper and wrote a line of words.

Su Xi was afraid that he would ask a question that he couldn't answer. His whole body trembled and he quickly zoomed in to see what he wrote.

This time, the handwriting wasn't as obvious as the previous two times. It clearly showed Zaizai's urgent feelings. Instead, it was somewhat restrained, somewhat reserved, and somewhat hesitant.

"The birthday noodles last time were very delicious, but can you make your best hometown dish for me?"

After he finished writing, Lu Huan raised his pen. There was some uncertainty in his dark eyes.

If that person was willing to make a hometown dish like the birthday noodles last time, then he could use the color of the dish and the amount of salt and sugar added to determine where the other party's hometown was.

But, wasn't this request too abrupt?

He wanted to know who that person was, why he appeared in his stagnant life, and what he wanted to do.

But if the other party only treated him as a plaything to pass the time, then he was afraid that doing this would make the other party bored and dispirited.

If the other party didn't appear because of this …

Lu Huan's dark eyelashes trembled slightly as he thought of this.

Su Xi was staring at the words written by Zaizai in shock. Wait a minute — if the pitiful, silent, and wronged Zaizai wanted to eat his hometown dish, she would be happy to make it. But what was the situation now?

Was she playing a game, or was the game playing her?

Why did she feel like she was becoming more and more passive?

Was it her imagination?

Su Xi didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Why would Zaizai make such a request? He saw that Zaizai seemed to be thinking about something. Some irritation and complicated emotions flashed across his face. Then, he frowned, crumpled the note with the request, and threw it aside. It seemed that he had given up on this request.

Lu Huan didn't know what to write on the note for a moment.

… Because he still didn't know the person's true purpose, he was still afraid that all this was just a prank.

But even so, he still faintly had some absurd and ridiculous thoughts in his heart …

… Even if it was a prank, he couldn't help but hope that the person would stay by his side for a little longer.

Therefore, if he made such a request, it would cause the person to be impatient.

Then …

Lu Huan tightened his grip on the pen and finally wrote on the paper:

Su Xi looked over and saw that Zaizai had changed it to …

… "Although I don't know who you are, I like it very much."

These few words were blurred by the evening sun and the light from the heavy snow, making it seem somewhat affectionate and tranquil.

… Su Xi's old face suddenly turned red. Of course, she didn't know why she was blushing. What did Zaizai mean? Wasn't he saying "Thank you, old mother, for appearing in my life"?

Su Xi was happy, but in the end, she saw Zaizai frowning again. He stared at the note with a conflicted expression, not satisfied.

His slender fingers crumpled the note into a ball.

"Tsk —" He threw it away.

Su Xi: "…"

Then, he changed the note to — "Although I don't know who you are, thank you for the bow. I like it very much."

Su Xi: "???"

No, why did it suddenly feel like there was no meaning in adding five more words?

It suddenly became a simple "Oh, thank you for the bow". Was it so, so distant and cautious in thanking him?

It seemed like their relationship had suddenly changed from that of a parent-child relationship to that of a philanthropist being rescued?!

Lu Huan stared at the third note that he had finally written and finally felt that it was appropriate.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the space between his eyebrows, and placed the third note on the table as usual.

Today, he put it in a wooden box without a lid. If that person came, he would definitely see it.

He turned around and began to pack up his things. He wrapped 15 sets of medicine in a piece of clothing and planned to go out.

Su Xi watched as Zaizai finished all this and then went out with the small bundle. Once he went out, he would definitely wear a cloak and a black hat to avoid attracting attention.

Previously, she thought that he looked the best in snow-white, but now, probably because Mother had Zaizai in her eyes, she felt that he was unusually cute in black.

Su Xi was still thinking about the three notes just now and was very depressed. Before he could take a screenshot of the second note as a souvenir, Zaizai crumpled it into a ball and burned it on the candlelight.

Su Xi didn't understand why Zaizai would burn two notes in a row and leave the last one. He only thought that Zaizai made a request to eat the dishes from his hometown, but maybe he was afraid of troubling him, so he withdrew the request.

In that case —

Su Xi rolled up his sleeves and stared at the small kitchen in Zaizai's firewood courtyard … She was going to cook a special dish for him to see!

However, the most important thing now was to hurry and follow him to Yong An Temple to help save people.
