"Since you guys know it was me, do as I say."
After chasing the Qiao family back, Lin Luo took out fish and prawns to make the soup base, seafood soup, and noodles. Then, she scooped out a large bowl and placed it in the basket. After she covered it with a cloth, she carried it to Yan Su's courtyard door and knocked on it.
After she knocked a few times, Yan Su finally opened it.
"Why are you here?" Yan Su's tone was aloof. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't intimate either.
Lin Luo didn't mind his attitude, She handed the basket to Yan Su and said, "I made a little too much. I can't finish them myself, so I want to give them to you."
Yan Su wanted to refuse.
He didn't give Lin Luo anything, so he should not accept Lin Luo's things.
Moreover, he didn't want to have too much interaction with anyone in Little Bay Village.
However, the delicious smell that wafted out of the basket made Yan Su's Adam's apple bob.
As someone who hadn't eaten properly for three years, it was very difficult to reject a delicacy that was readily available.
After a moment of hesitation, Yan Su took the basket.
"Just a moment."
After he returned, he placed ten copper coins in Lin Luo's palm.
These ten copper coins were enough to buy five meat buns in town.
As Lin Luo flicked the copper coins in her palm, she looked into the small gap in the door and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Yan Su pursed his lips and remained silent.
It was a refusal.
Lin Luo thought for a moment and said, "If you need help, come to me."
With that, she turned around and left.
Yan Su watched as Lin Luo returned to her house and looked around. When he didn't see anyone else, he slowly closed the door.
He went into the living room and closed the door. Then, he pushed the table aside again and lifted the blanket under it.
A wooden board that wasn't tightly shut appeared below.
Yan Su lifted the wooden board. There was another world under the wooden board. There was actually a spacious space that was enough to accommodate more than ten people.
At this moment, there were four to five injured men sitting below.
They were also wearing black clothes with silver cloud patterns.
Upon seeing Yan Su, they said hoarsely, "Master, we've caused you trouble."
Yan Su shook his head and handed the basket down. "There's food here. Eat some first."
He rummaged through the house. When he returned with the medicine, he saw his subordinates digging out the white ointment inside a small clay pot to apply on their bodies.
"Master, the ointment you prepared this time is really effective. It hurts a lot the moment it touches my skin, but I feel much better after that."
Everyone agreed.
Yan Su's expression darkened. "Where did the ointment come from?"
Everyone was stunned. "Didn't you prepare it? We took it from the basket."
Yan Su pursed his lips and looked at the empty basket.
The fresh soup noodles had already been eaten and the air was still filled with a delicious smell. There was also the smell of ointment from the clay pot.
Just like the clothes Lin Luo had sent back to him, the medicinal smell was mixed with a faint lavender fragrance.
Did she make this ointment?
-
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Luo was bored.
Lin Luo teleported to the farmer's market.
She walked into the farmer's market slowly. When she passed by the notice board, she realized that there was a new notice on it—the last notice had disappeared after Yan Su stopped in town.
After Lin Luo read the new notice quickly, she fell silent.
The notice said: "Five pirates are hiding in out-of-towner Yan Su's nest in Little Bay Village. After being discovered, they were arrested and fled with injuries. They are now wanted criminals. Those who provide clues will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
"Out-of-towner…" Lin Luo clicked her tongue. "Weird name."
She walked into the farmer's market calmly and went straight to the pharmacy.
Zhang Wei was looking at the mirror on his phone when he saw Lin Luo. Then, his eyes lit up and he ran to Lin Luo.
"Boss, look at me. Do I look different?!"
Lin Luo glanced at him and said, "You have a pimple around your mouth. Did you stay up late?"
Zhang Wei was speechless.
"Help me get this, that, and the ointment at the side." Lin Luo ordered a bunch of ointments and asked Zhang Wei to help bring them over.
After Zhang Wei brought the ointments over, he deliberately took off the pharmacy apron before putting it back on again.
"Zhang Wei."
Zhang Wei was very excited. Had his boss finally discovered it?!
Finally!
"What are you waiting for? Come and settle the bill."
Zhang Wei was speechless.
"Got it." Zhang Wei went over to settle the bill.
After Lin Luo picked up the remote control and turned on the television in the shop, she glanced at Zhang Wei and said with a smile, "Your new outfit looks quite nice."
Zhang Wei became excited. "I knew you noticed it!"
"Boss, thanks to you, I'm now a member of the world's top biological science research lab!" Zhang Wei took off his apron again and pointed at the Big Dipper printed in the middle of his shirt proudly.
Lin Luo changed the channel as she said aloofly, "Not bad. What are you doing there?"
"Ugh… raising fish."
"You seemed quite familiar with medicine, so I thought you studied medicine." Lin Luo was a little surprised. "In that case, you're a breeder? You do postpartum care for pigs?"
"What do you do reaerch on? How to cook fish?"
Zhang Wei was speechless.
His boss was nice, but a little too sharp-tongued.
"Boss, I'm not raising ordinary fish, but the only five silver fish in the world!" Zhang Wei emphasized seriously.
Lin Luo said perfunctorily, "How impressive."
Zhang Wei scratched the back of his head as he said humbly, "Actually, this is all thanks to you."
"By the way, Boss, there's one more thing…" Zhang Wei suddenly said awkwardly, "That is, Mr. Lin Chongluo was cured by silverfish therapy, so he's very grateful to you and wants to see you."
Lin Luo suddenly snapped the remote control into two.
She looked at Zhang Wei. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Zhang Wei was speechless.
If there was anything, they could talk things out. No need to take it out on the remote control!
"Have you heard of Mr. Lin Chongluo? By the way, I saved a photo of him." Zhang Wei took out his phone and showed Lin Luo a photo.
Lin Luo stared at the photo on the screen in a daze.
Zhang Wei whispered to her, "It's all thanks to the few silverfish you provided that Mr. Lin Chongluo was able to recover."
He was able to become a member of the Capital University's biological science research room because of the silverfish therapy.
He only obtained this opportunity because of his meritorious service.
Lin Luo lowered her stiff neck and stared at the ground as she drew circles with her toes.
"I won't see him."
Her tone was no longer as rational and gentle as before. Instead, it seemed to be filled with nostalgia and tenderness.
Zhang Wei still wanted to persuade Lin Luo, but Lin Luo left with the ointment. Before she left, she asked Zhang Wei, "Help me buy two more sets of clay pots."
Lin Luo had concocted the medicine for Yan Su herself.
Its effect was better than that of other ointments.
After giving away the pot and medicine, Lin Luo hadn'thing left to use.
In the middle of the night, Lin Luo heard someone knocking on the door again.
