Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing prepared a year's worth of pills overnight, for Director Guo and his wife. She put three large bottles in cans. She delivered them the next day, just as Director Guo and his wife were about to go out.

"Qingqing is here, come in and sit down."

Mao Chunlan greeted with a smile, and she looked much better than yesterday.

"Are you going out?"

"Let's go out for a stroll and take some photos. When I feel homesick in the future, I can look at the photos." Mao Chunlan said with a smile.

She was about to make tea, but Xia Qingqing stopped her. She took out three large bottles of medicine from her bag. She bought three bottles of canned peaches yesterday. Xiao Yingyue ate two bottles by herself, and the remaining bottle was shared by everyone.

Xiao Yingyue was particularly satisfied with this kind of work, and asked her if she wanted to prepare some bottles in advance, which she did, and she slapped her a few times.

"This is the pill I prescribed last night. It is very good for conditioning the body. My grandfather's ancestor was an imperial physician in the palace and left many prescriptions. Both of you are in serious physical condition. Take one pill a day. These three bottles are enough for a year."

Xia Qingqing unscrewed the bottle and poured out two pills the size of mung beans. She deliberately added more spiritual liquid and made the pills smaller so that they would be easier to carry.

Director Guo and his wife, who were half-believing and half-doubting, smelled a fresh medicinal fragrance and were immediately cheered up. Mao Chunlan was surprised. She felt a familiar smell. The glass of water that Xia Qingqing gave her yesterday had this smell.

She had a rare good sleep last night and slept through the night. When she woke up in the morning, she felt particularly good and full of energy. She thought of the glass of water yesterday. It was after drinking the water that she felt better.

Could Xia Qingqing really cure her and her husband?

"I'll take one."

Mao Chunlan picked up the pill and swallowed it, and asked her husband to take it as well. When the pill entered her mouth, the familiar feeling came over her again, making her more certain and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Director Guo was still hesitating whether to take the pill or not. Mao Chunlan picked up the pill and stuffed it into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth and slid down his throat. Suddenly, a light warm current surged out from his dantian and flowed through his whole body, making his body feel extremely relaxed.

"The medicinal materials of this medicine are very precious, right?"

Director Guo couldn't believe it. Just a small pill had such magical effects. Could it be that it contained hundred-year-old ginseng?

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "You gave me a house as medical expenses, so you must use the best medicine. After taking these three bottles of pills, you should be able to recover. But it's best to return home in a year. I will check your pulse to make me feel more at ease."

The ginseng she added to the pill is more than a hundred years old, at least five hundred years old, and there are also herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum, Astragalus, and Polygonatum sibiricum, all of which are produced in the space, and their efficacy is a hundred times stronger than those bought outside.

During this period, the space rewarded her with fifteen seeds, and she planted them all. The space also expanded. Now there is one acre of land, and there is more spiritual liquid, which can produce one liter every day.

Director Guo and his wife were surprised, but also a little annoyed. The precious medicinal materials could not be bought even with money, so even if they gave them a house as a gift, it would not be enough to pay for the medical expenses.

I originally wanted to repay the favor, but ended up owing him a bigger favor.

Xia Qingqing saw through their thoughts and said with a smile: "After you go abroad, if there are any good business opportunities, can you tell me?"

Shen Qiubai said that Director Guo's family was doing very well in business abroad, and if she could get connected with them, she would definitely make a lot of money.

"Of course, this is my overseas phone number and address."

Director Guo wrote it on a note, tore it off and handed it over.

Xia Qingqing put it away carefully and stood up to say goodbye.

The couple walked her to the door. Mao Chunlan hugged her and said softly, "Thank you, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, take care!"

Xia Qingqing hugged them, took two steps back, waved to the couple, and rode away on her bike.

The couple watched her leave until she was out of sight.

Three days later, Director Guo and his wife left Shanghai and flew to the other side of the ocean. They entrusted the key of the house they lived in to Shen Qiubai.

********

Shen Qiubai has been a little worried recently. The marriage report he submitted has not been approved yet, and it has been a month. The efficiency of the army is getting lower and lower, which is really unreasonable.

Shen Qiubai, who was getting impatient from waiting, called his immediate superior, He Weiguo, the commander of the Shanghai Military Region, who was also a former subordinate of his father, Mr. Shen.

"Uncle He, why hasn't my marriage report been approved yet?"

Shen Qiubai asked directly.

"Have you filed a marriage report? I didn't receive it!" He Weiguo's heart skipped a beat. He still wanted to delay it for a while.

It's not that I want to break up the couple, I just want to test whether Shen Qiubai is impulsive and wants to marry a widow on a whim. Maybe after a year or two, Shen Qiubai won't want to marry anymore!

He Weiguo didn't look down on Xia Qingqing, but he knew that Shen's mother would definitely look down on her. If the old lady knew about it, she would definitely call him every few days to make a fuss, and he really couldn't handle it.

Shen Qiubai on the phone didn't say anything. He wanted to hear what else he could say.

He Weiguo wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was getting harder and harder to fool this brat. He said awkwardly, "I'll call and ask what's going on. I'll call you back later."

Without waiting for Shen Qiubai's response, he hung up the phone. Ten minutes later, He Weiguo called back, "Xiao Li is becoming more and more unreliable. He stuffed your marriage report into my drawer without telling me. This is outrageous!"

Xiao Li, who was standing at the door holding a pile of documents and preparing to knock on the door, looked stunned. What was going on?

Didn’t he tell the leader about the marriage report a long time ago?

He Weiguo continued, "Qiu Bai, do you really want to marry Xia Qingqing? Do your parents know?"

"I know. Why would I file a report if I'm not getting married?"

Shen Qiu lied without changing his expression and said that he would tell his family after the report was approved.

"I'll have someone check on Xia Qingqing's situation. As long as there's no problem, I'll definitely approve it. I'll call you back later!"

He Weiguo just made up an excuse to fool people first.

After hanging up the phone, he took out a document from the drawer, his brows becoming increasingly furrowed. Xia Qingqing's situation was too complicated. Her parents and stepbrother were all death row prisoners. Although they did not endanger national security, it still had some impact on the political review.

Moreover, Xia Qingqing was a widow. Less than two months after she got married, all the members of the Yang family died, not a single one was left. Although the police did not find any evidence against Xia Qingqing, He Weiguo was certain that the deaths of the Yang family members were definitely related to Xia Qingqing.

This Xia Qingqing used a trick to kill the Yang family and successfully escaped. Her methods and thoughts were extraordinary. He Weiguo actually admired her. If it were in wartime, Xia Qingqing would definitely be suitable for intelligence work.

But it’s useless for him to appreciate it, the old lady of the Shen family must like it too.

He Weiguo sighed, dialed the Beijing number, and after transferring to the switchboard, he was connected to the Shen family.

"Captain, I defend my country."

When Mr. Shen was the regiment commander, He Weiguo was the company commander. He has always called him that and cannot change it.

"What happened to Qiubai?" Old Master Shen became nervous. Could something have happened to his youngest son?

"He's fine, his health is getting better and better, and he will probably be able to return to the team before the end of the year."

He Weiguo first told the good news. He heard Mr. Shen's laughter on the phone, but he couldn't laugh. After exchanging a few words with Mr. Shen, he mentioned the marriage report.

"Captain, Qiu Bai has filed a marriage report. His partner is Xia Qingqing, 20 years old, from Shanghai, and a pretty girl."

"The brat finally has a girlfriend, haha, not bad!" Mr. Shen laughed happily, but he soon realized something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with this Xia Qingqing?"

"There's no big problem, except that she was married, but the man was a eunuch, and he was arrested for hooliganism the day after the wedding..."

He Weiguo described Xia Qingqing's situation in detail, including his suspicions, without leaving out any detail.
