701 The Famous Flower Is Taken

Holding a white fan in his hand, he shook it and said, “Brother Xu, are you sure you’re not joking with me?”

Xu Guannan chuckled lightly, “Do you think that the villagers are all coarse and only know how to do rough work?”

Fang Mingyi was a typical noble son, and this was his first time entering a village. Hearing this, he looked at Xu Guannan and retorted, “Isn’t that the case?”

Xu Guannan maintained a polite smile and said mysteriously, “You’ll know whether it is or not in a moment.”

Fang Mingyi stared at Xu Guannan, feeling that this guy was hiding something from him.

Xu Guannan stepped forward to stop a villager in his tracks, asking politely, “Uncle, may I know where Miss Qingzhi is right now?”

The uncle turned and pointed in the direction of the workshop area, “Qingzhi is in the workshop.”

Xu Guannan bowed his thanks, “Thank you, uncle.”

The uncle waved his hand and continued on his way, carrying his hoe.

Xu Guannan led Fang Mingyi towards the workshop area.

At the entrance of the workshop area, Chu Qingzhi had asked An Shanwu and others to level the ground and pave it with bluestone slabs, creating a square about half the size of a basketball court.

There were flower beds by the court, planted with many low-lying flowers and plants, and a circle of hop saplings around the court. Among the saplings were placed some rectangular stones for sitting, giving it a park-like appearance.

There was a tap on the left side of the main entrance, providing mountain spring water for those carrying goods who often became thirsty due to heavy sweating, installed specifically for them.

Walking towards the left side of the workshop, in a more secluded area, a thatched house was built.

The entire structure of the workshop was very user-friendly.

At this moment, the court was filled with many carts carrying goods, with people moving boxes into the workshop and others taking goods out, creating a bustling and lively scene.

Fang Mingyi was stunned by this scene; it didn’t look like a village at all but more like a large warehouse.

He glanced at Xu Guannan, starting to understand his point, but still stubbornly said, “Hey, Brother Xu, this doesn’t change my perception.”

As he finished speaking, a girl in a yellow and blue dress walked over.

The girl’s dress fluttered gracefully, her demeanor steady yet spirited, and her aura distinguished, making her stand out from ordinary women.

This girl was Chu Qingning. She recognized Xu Guannan and came over to greet him, “Young Master Xu, what brings you to the village?”

Xu Guannan replied with courteous manners, “I have something for Miss Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingning smiled apologetically, “I also need to find my fifth sister for something important. You might have to wait a bit.”

Xu Guannan laughed lightly, “No worries, Miss. Please go ahead with your business. We’ll sit under the tree.”

Chu Qingning nodded, “I’ll be on my way then.”

Fang Mingyi, curious, asked after retracting his fan, “Who was that lady just now?”

“She’s Chu Qingzhi’s fourth sister, named Chu Qingning,” Xu Guannan explained as he led Fang Mingyi towards a clean, often-used stone under a tree.

Fang Mingyi recalled Chu Qingning, who he had just seen. “Is she from this village?”

“Yes. How about that? Were your assumptions challenged?”

“Alright, I admit I was prejudiced.”

Hearing his friend admit this, Xu Guannan chose not to say more.

Soon, Chu Qingning hurriedly brought Chu Qingzhi out from the workshop, the sisters walking briskly.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi, Fang Mingyi immediately stood up, asking eagerly, “Was the girl in the light green dress just now Chu Qingzhi?”

His eyes were fixed on Chu Qingzhi as he spoke.

The woman was beautiful, with clear, lovely eyebrows and eyes, and her lips seemed touched by begonia rouge, perfectly tinted in a way that was neither too red nor too pale. The moment he saw her, everything else seemed to fade into the background, her presence overwhelmingly captivating.

Xu Guannan glanced at his friend’s reaction and nodded, “Yes, that’s her.”

Without another word, Fang Mingyi said, “Quick, follow her.”

Xu Guannan was speechless.

Seeing Fang Mingyi’s excessive enthusiasm, he felt compelled to tell him that Chu Qingzhi was already betrothed to the great general.

Fang Mingyi stopped in his tracks, “Are you joking with me?”

Xu Guannan replied seriously, “I’m not joking at all.”

Fang Mingyi’s bright face immediately fell, “Why? Why are all the good girls taken?”

Xu Guannan added, “Because you arrived too late.”

Fang Mingyi pointed at Xu Guannan, trembling, “What a friend you are!”

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Xu Guannan said, “Let’s go, they’ve gone far ahead.” He started walking first, and Fang Mingyi quickly followed, feeling dejected.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingzhi brought Chu Qingzhi to the old house’s medical room.

Several people were inside, one lying on the bed with a high fever that wouldn’t subside, and the others were his family members, old and young, all with red eyes and sorrowful expressions.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi’s arrival, they quickly made way.

The patient’s wife pleaded, “Miss, he’s the sole breadwinner of our family, he mustn’t come to harm.”

Chu Qingzhi’s expression turned slightly serious, “Everyone, please leave.”

“Yes,” the woman quickly ushered her family to wait outside.

Chu Qingzhi approached the man to take his pulse, then her brows furrowed slightly: tetanus!

She put on gloves, rolled up the man’s trouser leg, and found a wound on his calf, half an inch long but seemingly minor.

Using her inner vision technique, she noted, “The wound looks small, but it’s actually an inch deep, no wonder he got tetanus.”

This disease had a 100% mortality rate once it broke out in ancient times, and it was considered incurable then.

This was her first encounter with such a disease. Chu Qingzhi had Chu Qingzhi study the pulse and symptoms while she went to look for herbs.

The pharmacy didn’t sell medicine for tetanus, and it wasn’t grown in the herb garden, so she had to go to the mountains to gather it.

Chu Qingzhi, accompanied by Da Bai, headed towards the mountains.

Xu Guannan and Fang Mingyi witnessed all this.

Xu Guannan, having seen it before, wasn’t surprised.

But it was different for Fang Mingyi. It was his first time witnessing such things, and he was especially shocked, “Xu brother, Chu Qingzhi summoned a tiger, right?”

Xu Guannan nodded, with a hint of teasing, “Yes, Da Bai even went to the capital city and helped solve a complex headless corpse case. How about that, are you even more shocked now?”

Fang Mingyi realized Xu Guannan was making fun of him, “Didn’t you get surprised the first time?”

“I was surprised,” Xu Guannan smiled, “but I didn’t show it as obviously as you.” Then, he followed Chu Qingzhi’s steps.

Truly a friend indeed!

“Wait for me,” Fang Mingyi hurriedly caught up.

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Qingzhi stopped and turned to look at Xu Guannan and Fang Mingyi, “Why are you following me?”

Before Xu Guannan could speak, Fang Mingyi quickly said, “My name is Fang Mingyi. I saw that you have extraordinary medical skills, so I specifically followed to watch.”

” What are you watching?” Chu Qingzhi sized up Fang Mingyi, noting his handsome features, his meticulously tailored white robe, and the air of nobility about him, clearly indicating his distinguished background.
