Mo Bajin looked at the black pill in his palm and said with hesitation, "This should be the real antidote, right?"
"Of course it’s real."
Seeing Mo Bajin’s cautious appearance, Yiyi’s expression was slightly mocking. This man was a complete scoundrel, harming others without hesitation, never considering others’ lives. Yet now, when faced with his own life and death, he was cautious and prudent.
Hearing this, Mo Bajin no longer hesitated and swallowed the pill. He then looked at Yiyi and said, "Our transaction is officially over, I just hope we don’t et again next ti."
"Hmph... it’d better be so. I don’t want to see you again either."
After saying this, Yiyi turned and left, her face calm but her eyes glimring with a hint of amusent. The Sanqi Pill she gave Mo Bajin earlier had no side effects, but this ti the ’antidote’ was a ticulously prepared Jin Luo Pill, which would make him feel lethargic and listless for a month.
Since Mo Bajin dared to harm her, he must be prepared to bear the consequences.
Watching Yiyi walk away, Mo Bajin finally turned to return to Luwei Village, deciding in his heart to stay far away from this little girl in the future, or else he wouldn’t even know when he’d fall victim to her sches.
Yiyi did not return imdiately but went to South City, intending to see if there were any rental houses available. However, after walking around, she found no rentals with a decent environnt. Just as she was about to return to the hotel, she suddenly heard a panicked cry for help.
"Help... soone co help..."
Upon hearing the cries, Yiyi did not rush back but walked towards the corner, from where the sound was coming. As she approached, she found an elderly man lying on the ground, while an elderly woman looked anxiously around.
"Young lady, can you help call soone? My husband suddenly fainted. I can’t move him by myself. Could you please call so people over to help take him to the hospital?" The elderly woman said hurriedly upon seeing Yiyi.
It was right in the middle of the day, and there was no one else around, only Yiyi happened to be walking nearby.
Hearing this, Yiyi glanced at the elderly man on the ground, seeing him with eyes closed and face darkened, she imdiately felt sothing was wrong. Therefore, she did not call for help but squatted down to pinch the man’s philtrum, though it had little effect as the man showed no reaction.
After thinking for a mont, Yiyi took out a small bottle, poured out a pill, pried open the man’s mouth, and forced him to swallow it.
"You... what did you give Old Jiang to eat?"
The elderly woman looked a bit nervous seeing Yiyi’s actions and said, "Young lady, don’t ss around. If you don’t want to help, then leave it to to call soone."
Yiyi did not have ti to respond to the elderly woman. After the man swallowed the pill, she began to press and knead various points on his body from mory. Although she rembered most of the acupoints, this was her first ti implenting them, so her movents were a bit unskilled. Fortunately, after pressing a few more tis, she gradually beca more familiar with it.
"Young lady, what on earth are you doing? Stop it imdiately."
The elderly woman felt anxious watching Yiyi bustling around. She finally reached out to try and stop her, but just then, the man lying on the ground suddenly let out a comfortable sigh.
"Ugh..."
Hearing the sound, the elderly woman quickly withdrew her hand. When she saw her husband open his eyes, tears nearly fell from her eyes. "Old man, you finally woke up. You have no idea how worried I was just now, fearing that once your eyes closed, they would never open again, ptooey, ptooey... listen to my nonsense."
After waking up, the elderly man smacked his lips a few tis, then looked at the elderly woman and asked, "You gave Lingzhi pill, didn’t you?"
"Ah... what Lingzhi pill? No, I didn’t."
The elderly woman was completely bewildered.
Yiyi, seeing that the old man had woken up, stood up, getting ready to leave.
"Wait a minute, young lady, the pill you just gave Old Jiang was the Lingzhi pill, wasn’t it? I believe I wronged you." The elderly woman quickly realized the key point and hurriedly held Yiyi’s hand, expressing her gratitude.
"No need to thank , I happened to see it and did my best to help. It’s good that the pill worked."
At this mont, the elderly man stood up from the ground and solemnly thanked Yiyi, "Young lady, thank you so much. My na is Jiang Yunsheng. If you don’t mind, you can call Grandpa Jiang." At the mont he collapsed, he felt his life hanging by a thread, never expecting to be saved by a young girl, and he deeply appreciated this life-saving favor.
Upon hearing this, the elderly woman hurriedly added, "Young lady, I’m Old Jiang’s wife, He Minying. If you don’t mind, you can call Grandma Jiang."
Seeing the kind faces of the two elderly people, Yiyi didn’t refuse and readily called them Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.
"By the way, young lady, what are you doing here alone at noon?"
Once certain that the old man was indeed fine, Grandma Jiang smiled and took Yiyi’s hand, curiously asking.
Yiyi didn’t hide anything, directly saying, "I’m looking to see if there are any rental houses available here, wanting to rent a place to live."
The two elderly people should be from the town, so it’s good to voice her problem. Maybe they might know where to find a rental.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "So you want to rent a house. That’s easy. There’s a yard right next to our place for rent. We can go check it out now."
Grandma Jiang was a bit stunned upon hearing this, but she quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, we can go look at it now. That yard has a nice environnt and is very suitable for living."
Yiyi did not expect the two elderly people to really know where to find a rental, "Is that so? That would be great. Let’s go have a look now."
"By the way, young lady, we still don’t know your na."
As the three walked, Grandma Jiang smiled and looked at Yiyi, asking.
"My na is Mo Yiyi."
"So it’s Yiyi. If you like that yard, then we’ll be neighbors in the future."
Upon hearing Grandma Jiang’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, "If that’s the case, that would be wonderful."
But Mr. Jiang was curious about the pill he had just taken, "Yiyi, the pill you gave just now, was it the Lingzhi pill?"
Seeing that the elderly man had already tasted it, Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, it was the Lingzhi pill."
Just then Grandma Jiang added, "Right, old man, after Yiyi gave you the Lingzhi pill, she pressed and massaged your body a bit, and then you woke up."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang was more astonished and looked at Yiyi, asking, "Yiyi, so you understand dicine as well?"
