Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

At noon the next day, the sun was high in the sky, emitting a blazing light.

Xu Changping was busy for the whole morning and didn't even have time to eat lunch. He hurriedly finished his work and walked out of the factory gate.

At this time, a familiar vehicle had been waiting for a long time. The driver was Xiao Zhang, who was sent by Minister Guo to pick someone up.

Time was urgent, so Xu Changping didn't say much and simply opened the car door and got in. The car then started and sped towards Minister Guo's house.

Today was the time for Guo Baihui to take her second medicinal bath. When Xu Changping left last time, he had already agreed on the specific time with Minister Guo.

Now, for Guo Baihui's condition, what Xu Changping did in the early stage was enough. Now he still needs to personally control the dosage of the medicine. If there is no special situation that requires adjusting the dosage in the later stage, even if he does not go there again, the impact will not be significant.

There was no conversation along the way. Soon, the car stopped steadily at the door of Minister Guo's house. Xu Changping got out of the car quickly, carrying the huge medicine box full of various medicinal materials and tools in his hand, and walked into the house steadily.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Xu Changping saw Minister Guo sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.

Minister Guo frowned, as if he had a lot of worries in his heart. When he saw Xu Changping coming in, he slowly said, "Doctor Xu, you're here!"

Since Xu Changping started to treat his daughter with medicinal baths, Minister Guo has resumed his normal work and rest schedule. However, today, he rushed home early to assist his daughter with the medicinal bath.

There was no way, because Guo Baihui was unconscious and the nanny couldn't move Guo Baihui alone.

Facing Minister Guo's slightly solemn expression, Xu Changping still smiled politely and replied, "Hello, Minister Guo."

Although he noticed that Minister Guo was in a bad mood at the moment, Xu Changping did not rashly ask the reason. He just silently picked up the medicine box and walked straight to the table in the middle of the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a casserole on the table. It was obvious that they had prepared it in advance.

Xu Changping didn't waste any words. He opened the medicine box beside him with quick movements and began to take out various bottles and jars from the box with a focused expression. Then he carefully opened the lids and poured the medicine powders inside into the casserole in front of him one by one.

As the room was filled with the aroma of medicine, he slowly picked up the medicinal materials that had been prepared on the side and put them into the casserole in an orderly manner.

After everything was settled, Xu Changping raised his head and nodded slightly to the nanny standing beside him, indicating that she could take the casserole into the kitchen to cook.

Since Xu Changping had informed in advance, the nanny had already boiled the water needed for the medicinal bath before Xu Changping arrived as requested.

At this time, Minister Guo, who had been silent and quietly watching Xu Changping's entire operation, said in a slightly anxious tone: "Doctor Xu, I have to trouble you to help me see if this is poison in Xiaohui."

As he spoke, Minister Guo bent down, reached out and fumbled out a seemingly inconspicuous small wooden box from under the coffee table.

Seeing this, Xu Changping hurriedly walked forward and was about to reach out to open the small wooden box to find out what was inside.

Minister Guo's face suddenly changed, and he shouted hurriedly: "Don't move!"

Then, he quickly took out a pair of white gloves and a blue mask from his pocket, handed them to Xu Changping and said, "Put these on first, just in case."

Xu Changping had a faint smile on his face. He waved his hand gently, then pointed to the medicine box on the table and said slowly:

"There's really no need to worry. After so many years of using various Chinese medicines, my body has already developed a certain level of antibodies."

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if it was just a very ordinary thing.

Hearing this, Minister Guo stared at Xu Changping, only to see that he looked calm and confident, so he nodded and agreed: "In that case, then you can do whatever you want."

Although he was still a little worried, seeing how confident Xu Changping was, Minister Guo felt that it was useless to say more. After all, with Xu Changping's medical skills and experience, if he was really poisoned by accident, he would probably be able to handle it himself.

Xu Changping carefully opened the small wooden box and saw a small package wrapped in oil paper lying quietly inside. He slowly picked up the oil paper package and opened it.

As the oil paper was peeled off bit by bit, a mysterious and slightly peculiar smell gradually drifted out, and the grayish-white powder inside was completely exposed to the two people's eyes.

Xu Changping stared at the powder carefully, and saw that there seemed to be a faint blue in the grayish white. At the same time, Xu Changping's brows wrinkled slightly involuntarily, as if he smelled something that made him uncomfortable.

He quickly turned back to the table where the medicine box was placed and took out a thin and delicate silver needle.

Holding the silver needle, Xu Changping returned to the pile of powder again and carefully dipped the tip of the silver needle into a little bit of powder.

In an instant, something magical happened! The originally silvery and bright tip of the needle began to slowly turn black, and the black color continued to spread and deepen, and finally the entire tip of the needle turned into a dark ink color.

As the color on the needle tip changed, both people in the room breathed softly.

After a while, Xu Changping put away the silver needle, rewrapped it in oil paper and put it back in the wooden box. Then he said in a deep voice: "According to my preliminary judgment, this should be a mixed poison, but it is definitely not the poison that Comrade Guo Baihui was poisoned with before."

Hearing this, Minister Guo, who was standing by, looked grim in an instant. He clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white because of the excessive force. Minister Guo's voice was also slightly trembling because of nervousness, and he asked: "Then... Xiao Hui... this is useless to her?"

Xu Changping raised his head, looked at the other person with a firm and steady gaze and said, "Minister Guo, no matter whether this poison is the same as the one Comrade Guo was poisoned with, it will not delay Comrade Guo's treatment."

After listening to Xu Changping's words, Minister Guo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. He took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, muttering to himself: "Doctor Xu, it seems that I was too anxious and lost my mind."

Seeing Minister Guo's dejected look, Xu Changping comforted him, "It's not your fault. You were just too eager to cure Comrade Guo."
