Chapter 578 A Beauty in Troubled Times (13)
“I’ll give it a try, but let’s make it clear beforehand that you absolutely cannot ask for too much detail. If you ask for too much detail, they might not be able to hear you. Heaven can’t restrict me, but it can restrict others.”
"Yes, let's work together."
"Then stay for a simple meal!"
"No, no, I have other things to do. Young lady, I'll be going now."
After seeing him off, Wangyou lay down on the recliner, wondering how Brother Baiguan was doing and whether he was still alive.
Bai Guan, who was constantly reminded of Wang You, struggled to survive inside the bronze gate, specifically by drinking mushroom soup both morning and night, and both of them were poisonous.
After drinking, he would just fall asleep immediately, I don't know what he was guarding.
A normal person would have died long ago from drinking that much. Although Bai Guan has a special constitution and won't die from it, it doesn't mean he'll be completely unaffected!
So, two years later, he spectacularly lost his memory. When he woke up, he felt he could leave the Bronze Gate, and so he really did.
Upon waking, Bai Guan had suffered a spectacular case of amnesia.
Meanwhile, Wangyou is currently in the midst of a chaotic teaching session.
Specifically, he got carried away while lecturing and accidentally said something he shouldn't have, and then the students below said they couldn't hear him anymore, making Wangyou so angry that she stood at the classroom door cursing heaven and earth.
At first, the students tried to persuade them, but later they almost joined in the cursing. If it weren't for the fact that thunderclouds would gather as soon as they opened their mouths, they would have cursed even more filthy than Wangyou. But there are no ifs.
The amnesiac official originally planned to travel far and wide following the guidance of the experience, but fortunately he found a note at the entrance of the bronze gate. The note told him to go to the capital city after he came out.
After feeling the silver coins in his backpack, the young official decided to follow the instructions on the note to go to the capital to find someone.
However, upon descending the mountain, he discovered that people no longer used silver dollars. Fortunately, he met a kind person who helped him exchange his silver dollars for RMB, and then he was able to take the train to the capital.
But now that they've arrived, the question of where to go is another one, so Bai Guan decides to follow his intuition.
Wangyou, who usually curses the heavens during class, returned home after class to find a large figure squatting at her door.
"Hey, little official, how did you find this place?"
"intuition."
Looking into those clear, innocent eyes, Wangyou felt something was off, but she didn't dwell on it. "Come in, have you eaten?"
"No." Her voice sounded pitiful, and she touched her stomach with one hand.
"Zhang Ma, make a few more dishes."
"Understood, Miss."
"what happened to you?"
"I don't remember." Bai Guan looked at Wang You with a pitiful expression.
"What happened to you? You've lost your memory? I'm Wangyou, your sister, do you remember me?"
“I remember, little sister.”
"Never mind, give me your hand, I'll take a look."
Bai Guan obediently stretched out his hand. Wang You took his pulse, then glanced at Bai Guan. It was a miracle he hadn't starved to death.
Although the young official was a bit better at cooking than her, he hadn't been learning for long; he had only received emergency training after he spoke of the Heavenly Crown. But even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, so it seemed that mushrooms were all they could eat behind the Bronze Gate.
The children who ate it all became mentally unstable, and some even suffered from amnesia.
"It's not a big problem. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles to detoxify you, and you'll be fine. Starting tomorrow, you should focus on learning to cook."
"Okay." Bai Guan nodded.
Wangyou told him to go to his room and clean himself up first, and then she went to her room to get a packet of gold needles.
After Zhang Ma finished cooking, the two came to the table. When Wangyou saw Comrade Bai Guan, she swallowed hard, which made Wangyou laugh.
"Eat up!"
"Sister, you should eat too." Bai Guan put a big chicken leg on Wang You's plate, and then began to devour it.
It seemed she was really starving. Wangyou lowered her head and quickly started eating; she had quite an appetite.
After finishing their meal, the two of them digested their food. Wangyou went into the lab to prepare a prescription, then asked Zhang Ma to boil some water and poured the medicine into it.
"Brother Xiao Guan, please go in!"
Bai Guan remained motionless, watching Wang You, his ears turning slightly red.
"Hurry up and go in. It's amazing that you still remember the proper distance between men and women even though you have amnesia. If I leave, who will give you acupuncture to detoxify you!"
"Oh!" The redness in Bai Guan's ears faded in a second, and then he took off his clothes and stepped into the water.
Then Wangyou began to act, and in the blink of an eye, many needles were inserted into Bai Guan's head, followed by needles being inserted into some acupoints on his body.
Next came the waiting. Gradually, black blood beads rolled out and dripped into the bathtub. An hour later, the needles were removed.
"Okay, how does it feel?"
"Much better, thank you, little sister."
"If you're done, remember to clean up the mess you made. I'm going to sleep now."
Bai Guan felt exceptionally relaxed. Not only had the accumulated poison in his body been neutralized, but his meridians had also been opened up. His sister was truly becoming more and more amazing.
After cleaning up the sewage in the room and giving it a quick tidy, Bai Guan fell into a deep sleep.
Inside the bronze gate, although he fell asleep immediately after drinking the mushroom soup, he didn't sleep soundly. It was the most restful sleep he had had in three years.
The next day, Wangyou finished breakfast while Baiguan was still asleep.
"Aunt Zhang, remember to feed my brother breakfast when he wakes up, and afterwards, remember to have him learn to cook from you, so he doesn't starve to death one day."
"Understood, Miss."
Wangyou left home and had the driver take her to school.
"Aren't you tired of running so far every day? If you live nearby, I can send you a house with a yard."
"I'm not tired at all. My villa is even more beautiful than the Old Summer Palace. I have to live there to make it more lively." Wangyou smiled. "But you're right, it is indeed too far away. I can avoid seeing people, but my brother needs to interact with more people."
Which brother do you have?
“An older brother you’ve never met, my mother’s brother, you could say he’s a cousin.”
"Okay, you can keep an eye on it first. If you need one later, I'll help you find a suitable courtyard."
"Thank you, Professor Chen. My family may not have much else, but we have a lot of land deeds. I'll go back and look for them."
"That's right, let's start class!"
Wangyou's classes cover a wide range of topics because she often runs out of things to say, so she changes topics very quickly. It takes time for the students to organize the information, but this has also helped them gain a lot of practical theoretical knowledge, and all that's left is to put it into practice.
When Wangyou returned home that evening, she received a wave of resentful looks from Zhang Ma. Looking at the aggrieved Bai Guan, she knew that the first day of teaching had not gone very well.
"Aunt Zhang, how's the food that Brother Xiao Guan cooked?"
"Miss, look!" Zhang Ma didn't know how to comment, so she brought out two servings of the finished product.
The black and red mixture on the plate looked like tomatoes and eggs. Wangyou looked down at it for a long time, but she really couldn't recognize what was on the other plate.
"What's this: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and what else?"
"Miss, it's stir-fried green peppers and eggs."
"Haha, get the chopsticks, let me try it," Wangyou said with a laugh.
