Chapter 293 Send You Home
“Uncle Bai, I can’t leave right now. Can you help me get some of the herbs according to the prescription?” Tan Rou wrote a piece of paper for Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was happy to help her. “Give it to me. I’ll go outside to get the medicine.”
Tan Rou handed the prescription to him. She had written it herself, so she wasn’t afraid of others seeing it. Moreover, she trusted Bai Jing very much, so she wasn’t afraid of him reading it.
Bai Jing glanced at the prescription. Some of the herbs in it were the same as the ones he had given to Madam Zhuang, but the dosage was slightly different. There were also a few herbs that he had not used before. They did not seem to be used to treat physical weakness, but more like detoxification.
He suddenly understood why Tan Rou had added these medicines. It was to remove the residual poison in Madam Zhuang’s body. All these years, Madam Zhuang had been taking his medicine, but it had no effect at all. The last time he saw her, he realized that her health had worsened, so he asked her to stop taking the medicine. It was just that he could not figure out a way to remove the poison.
For a moment, Bai Jing was both touched and impressed. Although Tan Rou was young, she had excellent medical skills. She was kind and very smart. Such a person was a rare talent no matter where she was.
This was especially true for the prescription she had prescribed for the treatment of physical weakness. If it were to be spread out, there would be countless women with weak bodies who would benefit from it. However, this was her painstaking effort. He did not know if she would spread it out.
After Bai Jing handed the herbs to Tan Rou, he didn’t stay in the pharmaceutical lab anymore. He was good at concocting medicine, but not at making pills. The difference between the two professions was huge like mountains. The difference between concocting medicine and making these pills might not be obvious but they were present. Otherwise, Madam Zhuang wouldn’t have had to drink medicinal soup for so many years. Swallowing the pills in one gulp would save her a lot of trouble.
However, Bai Jing was not idle either. With how Tan Rou hasmade these medicines and incense for the past few times, it has made him understand that doing these things consumes a lot of physical and mental strength. Therefore, he took out some old ginseng and boiled some water for Tan Rou to drink.
Tan Rou didn’t come early. By the time she finished making the pills, the sky was already dark. She stretched her muscles and walked out of the pharmaceutical lab.
Bai Jing hurriedly brought over a cup of ginseng tea. “You must be tired. Hurry up and drink a mouthful to replenish your strength.”
“Thank you, Uncle Bai,” Tan Rou said gratefully. She took a few sips. The taste of the ginseng tea was really not flattering, but it was good for the body and could replenish energy for a short period of time. It was indeed a good cup of tea.
“The pills are ready. As usual, they will be left here to dry in the shade for a few days. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Bai to take care of them.” Tan Rou said after she regained her senses.
Bai Jing was happy to take care of these pills. “Understood. If you have anything else you need me to be aware of, just tell me. I’ll remember them.”
“There’s nothing much.I’ve used the traditional pharmaceutical methods. As long as the medicine isn’t affected by strong light and high temperature, it’ll be fine.” Tan Rou said.
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Zhuang Liu came. After he saw Tan Rou, his hanging heart finally relaxed.
“Fortunately, I made it in time.” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou was surprised. “Why are you here?”
“I came to take a look and then send you home,” Zhuang Liu replied.
“I can go back by myself,” Tan Rou said with a smile.
“But I still want to send you back,” Zhuang Liu insisted.
Tan Rou was stunned for a moment before she smiled sweetly. “Alright, I understand.”
Zhuang Liu then explained to Tan Rouwhy they had come so late. Xiao Mo felt that he had said something wrong. He reckoned that his boss would deduct his salary again.
“When you told me about my mother’s condition, I already guessed that you would come here. I was going to send my mother back and come over, but I was delayed because of some matters.”
Xiao Mo added, “The Third Young Master told me to drive really fast in order to make it in time. I didn’t even dare to drive on the main road. I was afraid that the cameras would catch us.”
“This is very dangerous. What if something happens?” Tan Rou lectured. “You can’t do this next time.”
“I didn’t think it through.”
Xiao Mo felt that he had said something wrong. He reckoned that his boss would deduct his salary again.
“Just send me a text message in the future. I’ll wait for you,” Tan Rou added after she finished lecturing him.
When Zhuang Liu heard her words, his heart felt as if he had eaten candy. His heart was filled with sweetness. There was a blissful smile on his face. “Okay, I understand.”
