Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

If it weren't for those extremely hateful and unscrupulous people, how could his well-behaved and sensible daughter suffer such great suffering and torture?

When he thought of this, the rage in his heart could not be quelled. He gritted his teeth and swore secretly that once he found the culprits, he would make them taste the pain of being unable to live or die!

Xu Changping was unaware of the anger in Minister Guo's heart. He walked in front and protected Minister Guo as they slowly went downstairs. He successfully placed the still unconscious Guo Baihui in the guest room.

In the kitchen, Xiao Zhang had completed his task. He carefully took the casserole off the hot stove, gently placed it aside, and waited for it to cool down naturally.

Due to the long-term burning fire, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. He raised his hand, wiped it quickly with his sleeve, and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

He shouted to Xu Changping, who was fiddling with the medicine box in the living room, "Comrade Xu, the medicine is ready, come and take a look!"

Hearing his words, Xu Changping stopped what he was doing, closed the medicine box, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

When he came to the casserole, he did not lift the lid to check what was inside. Instead, he leaned down slightly, approached the air hole of the casserole, and carefully sniffed the rich medicinal smell emanating from it.

After a moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Just leave it like this. Don't open the lid."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "Got it, Comrade Xu, I'll keep an eye on it here." Xiao Zhang nodded quickly. This was medicine for treating Guo Chang's daughter. It would be bad if something went wrong in his hands.

After leaving the kitchen, Xu Changping came to the backyard and saw the busy nanny. He walked up to her and asked politely, "Auntie, how long will it take to boil the water here?"

The nanny raised her head when she heard the voice, pulled up the corners of her mouth stiffly and replied, "It's almost there, just wait a little longer."

After receiving a positive answer, Xu Changping breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and left and returned to the room where Minister Guo was.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Changping said to Minister Guo, "The medicinal bath is basically ready. I will give her acupuncture to wake her up. But you must be careful when she is in the medicinal bath. You must let the aunt hold her firmly. If that doesn't work, you can even tie her up."

Minister Guo nodded, indicating that he understood. In fact, he had already considered this when he instructed Xiao Zhang to buy a bathtub, and specially chose the one with a lid.

However, the method proposed by Xu Changping is not bad. After all, no one can guarantee that the little girl will not suddenly run out in the middle of taking a medicinal bath. In that case, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Just as Minister Guo was pondering in his heart, a gentle knock on the door woke him up. He looked up and found it was Aunt Mu.

Auntie stood outside the door and said, "The hot water is all ready. I'll pour it into the tub now, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changping hurriedly looked towards the nanny at the door. His eyes fell on the few faintly visible strands of white hair on her head, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

Looking at the faintly visible white hair on the nanny's head, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, let me help you." He was really afraid that the nanny would be tired from fetching water and would not be able to control the crazy Guo Baihui.

The nanny glanced at Xu Changping and politely declined, "No, I can do it myself." Then, she turned around without hesitation and walked straight to the backyard.

You should know that there was originally a bathtub on the second floor of the Guo family, and in the past, water was usually boiled on the second floor at home.

However, because of what Xu Changping said, the nanny had no choice but to work hard and move all the tools and equipment needed to boil water to the backyard.

After the nanny's busy work, the bathtub was finally filled with hot water.

At this time, under the gaze of Minister Guo, Xu Changping slowly walked to the bathtub, stretched out his hand and gently put it into the water to feel the water temperature.

After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction, took out a small and exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket, then skillfully pulled out the stopper, aimed the bottle mouth at the bathtub, and began to pour some medicine powder into it.

At that moment, a jaw-dropping scene occurred! The originally clear and transparent hot water seemed to be cast by magic, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a bright red, like a pool of boiling blood.

Witnessing this scene, Minister Guo, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but widen his eyes, pointed at the blood-red water in the bathtub with astonishment, and looked at Xu Changping in disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" Minister Guo muttered to himself with a trembling voice, obviously shocked by what he saw.

He could hardly believe his eyes. Just a little bit of seemingly insignificant powder could actually change the color of such a huge bucket of water in an instant.

This kind of magical change is probably difficult to achieve even with the world's best dyes!

"This is the powder of 'Blood Lotus'." Xu Changping explained casually, then turned and went out and shouted, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, please bring the casserole over here."

Ignoring Minister Guo's shock, Xu Changping took the casserole from Xiao Zhang at the door of the guest room, returned to the bathroom and said to Minister Guo, who had recovered, "Open the lid."

When Minister Guo heard what Xu Changping said, he didn't say anything and carefully opened the lid of the casserole.

In an instant, a stronger medicinal fragrance immediately filled the bathroom, interweaving with the aroma of the blood-red potion in the bathtub, forming a strange and complex smell.

Xu Changping tilted the casserole slightly, letting the liquid medicine inside slowly pour into the tub. As the liquid medicine was added, the water in the tub began to churn again, as if something was moving in it.

The blood-red water in the tub also became darker, and the smell of medicine became stronger.

"This is the final liquid medicine. It will be combined with the 'Blood Lotus' powder to maximize its efficacy." Xu Changping explained, his voice calm and confident.

Minister Guo nodded. Although he didn't understand, he had already handed it over to Xu Changping, so he wouldn't make any comments.
