Chapter 425 - 425: Top-Tier Medicinal Herbs
“When I came here a few days ago, there weren’t so few medicinal herbs left, right?”
Xiang Yin casually picked up one of the medicinal herbs and played with it. His gaze landed on Cui Lin, making him shudder.
“I’ve been making a lot of pills these past few days…”
Cui Lin scratched his head guiltily, but he looked around, not daring to meet Xiang Yin’s gaze.
He coughed softly and emphasized his words again.
“You also know that I like to study some strange things when I’m free, so the medicinal herbs have been used up very quickly. I haven’t replenished them in the past few days.”
Gu Man couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at the room behind Cui Lin.
She had seen all these medicinal herbs, but they were the kind that could be bought in an ordinary medicinal pharmacy. Of course, Gu Man did not want these medicinal herbs.
Cui Lin acutely sensed Gu Man’s gaze and became vigilant. He carefully moved his body, trying to block the medicinal herbs behind him.
How could Xiang Yin not understand Cui Lin’s character? He raised his foot and walked towards the room behind him. When he placed his hand on the door handle, an anxious voice sounded behind him.
“Don’t move. I haven’t had time to tidy up that room. It’s too dirty and messy. I’m afraid I’ll dirty your eyes. Don’t go in.”
Cui Lin’s emotions were exposed. He placed his hand on Xiang Yin’s wrist in a panic and raised the doorknob.
“It’s fine. I know how you are, I won’t despise you.”
The corners of Xiang Yin’s lips curled up, but his hand that was pressing the door handle pressed down slightly. Cui Lin’s face was covered in cold sweat. His strength could not compare to Xiang Yin’s at all. Seeing that the door handle was about to press down, he hurriedly spoke in a panic.
“This room is really messy. There’s nowhere to step. Aren’t you choosing herbs? Hurry up and choose.”
Cui Lin looked at Gu Man for help, but Gu Man was waiting for his top-tier medicinal herbs to be exposed. How could she help him?
He stood at the side with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.
“Actually, I’m not in a hurry.”
Gu Man’s words were no different from adding fuel to the fire. Cui Lin was so anxious that cold sweat broke out. He could not expose his precious medicinal herbs even if he died.
He used his body to block the door.
“I’ll tell you honestly. In any case, you’ve already discovered that the herbs in this room are indeed precious, but I definitely won’t hand them over. It’s already good enough that I can give those herbs to you. Don’t even think about it.”
Cui Lin finally exposed the fact that he had hidden the medicinal herbs, but he was still not afraid of blocking the door. After all, the herbs in the room were his little darlings. He could not bear for Gu Man to take them away.
“What if I trade prescriptions for it?”
Gu Man did not expect Cui Lin to hand over the top-tier medicinal herbs honestly with just that small piece of information.
Therefore, she was already prepared for such a situation.
She took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was a piece of rough paper that was commonly used by high school students. There were even traces of calculations behind it.
Gu Man held the piece of paper with both hands and flipped it over. The characters on the other side of the paper were written elegantly and freely.
Cui Lin looked in the direction of the prescription and his eyes lit up, but he still did not move away. What if it was a diversion?
“Bring it here and let me see. Hl decide if I want to open the door after.”
Gu Man did not hesitate and took a few steps towards Cui Lin. Xiang Yin also made way and stood at the side to look at the two of them.
The prescription was handed to Cui Lin. He browsed through it roughly. His expression was no longer as worried as before. Instead, he became extremely excited.
He looked up at the prescription and then at Gu Man.
“Did you write this prescription?”
As he asked, Cui Lin folded the prescription and stuffed it into his pocket.
“I did, but if you want to use this to treat illnesses, you need to add or reduce
the herbs according to the patient’s symptoms..”
