Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Jiang Zhiwei was fast asleep, her little mouth slightly pouting, and she was still holding the medicine gourd that was bigger than her face in her arms.

He curled up in the bamboo recliner, like a cat taking a nap in the afternoon.

However, Lin Mo's shout, which was as powerful as splitting clouds and rocks, struck him head-on.

Jiang Zhiwei was so frightened that she flinched and, without coordinating her movements, tumbled off the recliner with her gourd.

"Ouch."

With a soft cry of pain, she fell on her bottom and sat on the ground, rubbing her sleepy eyes, still a little confused about what had happened.

"Seventh Sister-in-law, come inside quickly! Help!"

Lin Mo didn't stop, holding the burning hot little body in his arms, and rushed into the bamboo house like a gust of wind.

"Lin Mo, you...you!"

Jiang Zhiwei got up from the ground, rubbing her sore bottom.

Her black hair was a mess, and she stared blankly at Lin Mo's back.

I just dreamt about him, and now this guy suddenly appears.

Am I still dreaming?

Jiang Zhiwei, who is usually a step behind, was a little confused about the situation at this moment.

"What are you standing there for? Seventh Sister-in-law, come quick!"

Lin Mo's urgent voice came from inside the bamboo house. Jiang Zhiwei then realized what was happening.

"oh oh!"

Jiang Zhiwei shook her still somewhat dazed head and quickly got up from the ground.

Without even bothering to brush the grass clippings off his body, he ran into the house.

Inside the bamboo house, Lin Mo had already placed the little girl on the bed.

"Seventh Sister-in-law, this child has a congenital cold constitution and has also been infected with the Xuanbing Gu. The two are clashing, causing the cold poison to attack his heart. Time is running out!"

When Lin Mo saw Jiang Zhiwei enter, he explained the situation in one breath, every word revealing his urgent need to get things done.

After hearing Lin Mo's words, Jiang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, and then the dazed and lazy temperament on her body suddenly disappeared.

She walked quickly to the bedside, without asking Lin Mo anything further. She extended two slender, white fingers and gently placed them on the little girl's delicate wrist.

The bamboo house fell silent instantly, with only the little girl's faint breathing.

Lin Mo's heart was beating very fast.

The little girl on the bed no longer had a deathly pale face, but rather a dull, bluish-gray hue.

Her lips were purple, and her body was trembling violently under the covers, yet the heat emanating from her body was alarmingly high.

Jiang Zhiwei quietly took his pulse, remaining motionless, and the time seemed to drag on.

Lin Mo watched from the side, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, Jiang Zhiwei finally slowly withdrew her hand.

"The cold poison... attacks the heart, and the meridians... become stagnant."

"The situation is indeed... bad."

Jiang Zhiwei paused, then added.

"The heart is cold. It may stop beating at any time."

Lin Mo's heart tightened.

The system said she wouldn't survive the night, and Jiang Zhiwei said she could stop jumping at any time.

It seems this child's life is truly on a countdown.

"I checked the recipe for the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Pill from the Hundred Herbs Garden. It's described as the purest form of Yang energy. Can it be used to replace the Nine Sun Melting Snow Pill?"

Lin Mo quickly pressed for more information.

Upon hearing the words "Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Pill," Jiang Zhiwei suddenly raised her head.

She looked at Lin Mo, a hint of confusion flashing in her clear eyes.

The Nine Suns Melting Snow Pill is an ancient formula, and not many people know about it.

How could he know to use this pill to cure the Xuanbing Gu?

Lin Mo was extremely anxious when he saw that Jiang Zhiwei had "gone offline" again.

Seventh Sister-in-law is good in every way, except that she is sometimes too slow to react.

He stepped forward, placed his hands on Jiang Zhiwei's thin shoulders, and couldn't help but gently shake her.

"Seventh Sister-in-law! Don't disconnect!"

"Human life is at stake! Is this even acceptable?"

"If that doesn't work, let's think of another way!"

Jiang Zhiwei was shaken back to her senses by Lin Mo, and her little head started turning again.

She quickly searched her mind for knowledge about pharmacology, comparing the medicinal properties, proportions, and refining methods of the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Pill with those of the Nine Sun Melting Snow Pill.

Finally, Jiang Zhiwei nodded emphatically and uttered a few words:

"OK."

"But this medicine... is very potent."

"Quantity needs to be controlled."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. His tense back relaxed.

"That's good. Just tell me what herbs you need, I'll get them for you."

Jiang Zhiwei said no more and turned to rush into the small room next door that was used to store prescriptions and books.

A moment later, they found a yellowed roll of paper in an old-fashioned wooden cabinet.

Jiang Zhiwei opened the scroll, her slender fingers lightly touching the words on it, muttering to herself as she recited a series of strange and unusual medicinal herbs.

"The Flaming Sun Grass must be a hundred years old, with intact roots."

"Separate the fire essence and take the center point."

"Earth dragon scales, seven pieces, and...flowers, grass..."

Lin Mo was completely confused; he had never heard of half of these names before.

"Herbal medicine... I'll take it."

"You start the fire, and the medicine pot needs to be...preheated."

Seeing Lin Mo standing there in a daze, Jiang Zhiwei understood and then gave him some simple tasks to do.

She grabbed a small hoe and shovel, turned around, and rushed into the medicinal herb field.

Lin Mo was completely stunned as he watched Jiang Zhiwei move about in the medicinal herb field.

The little girl, who usually stumbles after taking just a few steps and is so forgetful that she might even forget her own name, was now moving as fast as a blur.

She stopped in front of a patch of red herbs that exuded a scorching heat. With precise hoeing, she dug the herb out of the soil perfectly, leaving even the finest roots intact.

After picking one type, she rushed to the next place, moving smoothly and without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

That focus and professionalism made her seem like a completely different person from her usual self.

Indeed, everyone has their own expertise; this is what a true pharmacist is all about.

Soon, all the medicinal herbs were prepared.

Lin Mo had already started a fire.

Jiang Zhiwei squatted in front of a small medicine pot, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, carefully controlling the flames at the bottom of the stove.

The orange flames illuminated her tense and focused face, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Lin Mo stood to the side, handing over the prepared medicinal herbs one by one according to her instructions.

Looking at Jiang Zhiwei's serious and focused profile, the burning anxiety in his heart miraculously subsided, replaced by a strange sense of peace.

This absent-minded seventh sister-in-law never disappoints when it comes to saving lives.

……

Meanwhile, at Tiebi Pass, west of the city.

In that dilapidated little courtyard.

Bai Zhi, lying on the cold earthen bed, furrowed her delicate brows almost imperceptibly.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

A sharp pain shot through the back of my neck.

Who am I...? Where am I...?

What happened...?

Bai Zhi unconsciously rubbed her neck, her mind still somewhat hazy.

But then, the tense confrontation before he lost consciousness flooded his mind like a tidal wave.

That man...

Nannan's illness...

The Myriad Poisons Tower...

Bai Zhi's body jolted violently, and she instantly became fully awake.

She rolled over and sat up in bed, her eyes immediately turning to her side.

empty!

The bed was empty!

That small, warm body is gone!

"My little girl!"

A sharp scream shattered the deathly silence of the courtyard.

Bai Zhi's face turned pale. She rushed out of the room, into the courtyard, and to the wide-open gate. Despair and anger consumed her reason.

"Lin Mo!"

"You beast!"

"Give me back my daughter!"
