Chapter 144 The Mutant Matchmaker Hua
Chapter 144 The Mutant Matchmaker Hua
The blood contaminated by the matchmaker Hua was black, and it took half a bowl to turn it red.
Yang Jianwu picked up a silver needle and used it to prick acupoints to stop the bleeding. The bleeding stopped immediately! She used cotton wool to clean the blood around the incision, then stitched up the wound. She instructed Liang Yan to give Hongyun a blood-nourishing pill. With so much blood lost, it would be too slow for him to recover on his own. Since they were all acquaintances, she would reluctantly give him a blood-nourishing pill.
"It's almost done. I'll leave the rest of the finishing touches to you. Find someone to take charge of changing the dressing later."
"Yes, miss!"
Yang Jianwu took the bottle containing the Red Maiden Flower back to her room to study it. Normally, even aquatic animals raised as Gu worms wouldn't attack humans unless threatened. Hongyun said the Red Maiden Flower voluntarily entered her nose, meaning it must have been under the control of the Gu worm breeder—meaning that person was among those who rescued Nangong Yan!
At the end of the abdomen, a normal red jasmine has a long tail hook, which is the most important respiratory structure of the red jasmine. There are actually two breathing tubes in the tail hook to assist in breathing or tracheal exchange. The wings cover the back of the abdomen, and the forewing membrane is black with interlacing veins.
This one was clearly a mutant, with tiny barbs growing on its breathing tube. The toxins could enter the body by scratching the skin with the barbs, and it also had a pair of transparent wings on its abdomen and back, which could help propel it to fly. No wonder Hongyun couldn't defend against it.
Yang Jianwu placed the matchmaker's flower into a bottle and temporarily stored it in her spatial storage. Having been busy all this time, she was a little hungry again. Going downstairs to get something to eat, she overheard a group of guests still at a table discussing something related to glass...
"sure?"
"It's true! My brother, who works as a guard in the palace, told us when he came home from his night shift that His Highness Prince Ning brought a glass lamp into the palace and thoroughly humiliated the Xipan people!"
"Oh my, His Highness Prince Ning has really made Dongli proud!"
"That's for sure, and His Highness Prince Ning's glass is of much better quality than Xipan's!"
"I reckon this will be all over Dongli tomorrow, it's absolutely shocking!"
"Yes!"
"There's even more shocking news, do you want to hear it?"
"What is it? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, let us share in the joy!"
"Haha~ His Highness Prince Ning not only brought out a glass cup this time, but also a set of glass jars with horn-shaped decorations! It is said that the glass jars will be sold in the pharmacies under the Medicine King Palace, and only one set will be supplied each month!"
"When will I be able to buy one?"
"Don't rush, Prince Ning said that all five families near the capital have them for sale, so we should be able to get one in about a year or two!"
"It'll take a year or two. I can't wait to see what our Dongli's glasswork looks like!"
"Hehe, I have another piece of news, do you want to hear it?!"
"Oh dear, Brother Chen, can't you just say it all at once?"
"That's right, tell me quickly!"
"Jubaozhai will be selling various glass jewelry tomorrow!"
"what?!"
"Really?!"
"His Highness Prince Ning said these words himself at the state banquet, so they can't be false!"
"What are they?"
"I heard they have everything! Earrings, rings, hairpins, glass ornaments... Oh dear, why don't you just go check it out when it goes on sale!"
"Yep!"
"His Highness Prince Ning also said that the price is affordable, so that glass can be found all over Dongli!"
"That's wonderful! I want to get my wife a pair of earrings!"
"I want to buy one too..."
……
Hearing their conversation, Yang Jianwu was in an extremely good mood. It had been a while since she had barbecue, so she decided to invite Puyang Xuan to have some with her! She also wanted to thank him for telling Mo Ye about Liuli, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to spread the word at the state banquet!
It's so late, I wonder if Puyang Xuan is asleep or not. If he is, then he's out of luck!
Yang Jianwu arrived at the door of Puyangxuan and gently knocked. "Puyangxuan, are you asleep?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside.
"Sword Dance, you were looking for me?"
"Hmm, just wanted to ask if you'd like some late-night snacks?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll go prepare it!"
"Hehe, Puyang Xuan, you're getting more and more considerate these days!"
"Of course! If I don't treat you well, how can you fall for me?"
"Ahem... Where did this come from..."
"I'm serious!" Seeing that Yang Jianwu was somewhat evasive, Puyang Xuan quickly changed the subject, "Jianwu, you can also call me 'Ah Xuan' like your uncle and aunt do. Calling me by my full name is too formal..."
"Ah Xuan?"
Yang Jianwu tried calling out to him, which was much easier than using the three-word address.
"Alright, Ah Xuan!"
"Hey! I'm here!"
"To thank you for your help, I thought of Liuli and decided to treat you to barbecue!"
“What is barbecue?”
"It's just a kind of food. Let's go to the yard. Wait for me there while I go to the kitchen to get the ingredients."
"Sword Dance, I'll help you prepare!"
"No need, no need, you can go and wait."
Puyang Xuan is still unaware of the secrets of the spatial dimension and the red jade inlaid with silver bracelet, so he has to be careful not to be discovered!
Yang Jianwu took out a barbecue grill from his spatial storage, added some meat skewers, and used vegetables that were already in the kitchen. This guy had said that he should eat and drink in moderation, so he should eat more vegetables!
