The two returned home.

Qin Zhao held the soaked oil umbrella under the eaves, but when he turned around, he saw that the bright red figure was no longer in the room. He shook his head helplessly and walked into the inner room of the bedroom.

The young man was lying on the bed, with his whole face buried in the quilt. There were a few bright red fish scales attached to the exposed backs of his hands, which were particularly conspicuous on his plain white clothes and skin.

Qin Zhao laughed out loud: "Get up and change your clothes."

The rain was so heavy that even though they held an umbrella, the two of them still got their clothes wet all the way back.

"Wait...wait a little longer." The voice came from the quilt and was vague, sounding a little muffled.

Jing Li buried his head in the soft quilt, feeling that the other person was still standing behind him, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't look at me..."

"Okay, I won't look at you." Qin Zhao took out a set of clean clothes from the closet and placed them beside the bed. He couldn't help but touched Jing Li's soft head and felt the young man's body under his palm.

Wince.

He straightened up, took his clothes and left the bedroom.

After a while, Jing Li raised his head.

The delicate and beautiful face was still slightly red, and some fine bright red fish scales appeared at the end of the eyes, adding a bit of charm to the face.

It's so embarrassing...

How could he be so nervous that he almost returned to his original shape after just a kiss?

Is there any hope left?

Jing Li touched the scales at the end of his eyes in annoyance.

What's even more troublesome is that he still doesn't know how to change back.

"Ugh..." Jing Li turned over on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

The fish is autistic.

Qin Zhaowu changed his clothes and took out a herbal prescription from his original clothes.

This is the prescription that Mr. Xue gave him today.

This prescription lists six or seven medicinal materials.

Doctors have always cherished their secret recipes and would not reveal the complete prescription easily. The same is true for Mr. Xue.

The prescription in Qin Zhao's hand is obviously not a complete version.

According to Mr. Xue, he has been developing this prescription for some time. However, because the herbs in the prescription are either extremely expensive or extremely rare, he has never had a suitable opportunity to try the medicine.

If Qin Zhao could find all the herbs he wrote down, he would prepare the medicine for Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao glanced at it briefly, frowned slightly, put away the prescription and turned to the study.

When Jing Li finally got rid of the fish scales on his body and came to the study, Qin Zhao was holding a thick medical book and studying it.

Hearing him entering the room, Qin Zhao raised his head: "Recovered?"

Jing Li pursed her lips slightly. She still didn't know how to face Qin Zhao, so she quickly changed the subject: "How are you doing?"

Qin Zhao did not answer, but waved to Jingli: "Come here."

The previous owner of this small courtyard was probably a scholar who loved reading. There were many books in the study room, which was convenient for Qin Zhao to search.

There were several medical books spread out on the desk, and a piece of rough-edged paper was spread out in front of Qin Zhao, which was already densely written.

It was all about herbal medicine that he had just copied from the book.

Jing Li walked to Qin Zhao and stood next to him, but Qin Zhao moved to the side and gave him half of the seat.

Jing Li: "..."

Qin Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "Sit down?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Jing Li bravely sat down.

The chair is an armchair with a backrest and armrests. The seat surface is wider, but it is still too reluctant to accommodate two adult men.

Jing Li's back was stiff, but it was still inevitable that he would touch Qin Zhao's body.

The fragrance of herbal medicine lingered around him, and he felt that the fish scales he had finally hidden back were starting to come out again.

Qin Zhao naturally noticed his nervousness and smiled silently, but said nothing. Instead, he pointed to the prescription on the table: "I just looked at this prescription carefully. There are several herbs that should be available in this county.

only……"

"Just what?" Jing Li's attention was immediately drawn away.

Qin Zhaodao: "Most of the medicines here are precious medicinal materials. Even if we can find them, I'm afraid..."

Can't afford it.

"Can't we just let the guy surnamed Pei buy it?" Jing Li is not worried about money at all now, "Don't he still want to reward us heavily?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Qin Zhao said.

Pei An is now almost responsive to Qin Zhao's requests. It won't be difficult for him to exchange the reward for water control into herbal medicine.

Qin Zhao: "I'm not worried about the availability of herbal medicines on the market. The trouble is that some of them are priceless and particularly rare."

If it was just a matter of money, the old gentleman named Xue wouldn't write a prescription specifically for them to find the medicine, but just ask them to pay for it?

The difficulty lies in the fact that some herbs cannot be bought with money at all.

Even Jing Li was a little worried now.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let everyone named Pei find them."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Jing Li said: "You think, we are unfamiliar with the place in the county and have no official positions, so we will definitely have trouble finding medicine. Since there are people from the government at our disposal, why not use it? It is not much easier for them to come forward to find medicine than it is for us.

Already?"

Qin Zhao smiled and pinched the side of his face: "You are quite clever at this."

Jing Li's expression froze, and then he realized that he had completely leaned on Qin Zhao unknowingly.

He curled his fingers on his knees and tried to move them out quietly, but Qin Zhao gently held his waist.

Even though they were separated by clothes, Jing Li seemed to be scalded by the warmth of the other person's palm, and she winced unconsciously.

The atmosphere became a little weird, Jing Li's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the places touched by the other party felt as if they were about to burn.

"Qin, Qin Zhao..." Jing Li called softly.

"What?" Qin Zhao's palms on his waist were slightly loosened, but there was no clue on his face, "It is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving way to let the government search for medicine, but all this is based on the success of water control.

.”

He looked serious as if this was just an ordinary discussion. Jing Li struggled to bring his attention back to the business: "Controlling the water... There will definitely be no problem in controlling the water."

"I don't think it's that easy." Qin Zhao said slowly, "If they still refuse to agree to my method..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, are you at home?"

Qin Zhao: "..."

Jing Li finally found a chance to escape and stood up: "I, I'll open the door!"

The figure on the back even seems to be running away.

Qin Zhao looked at his leaving figure, feeling annoyed and amused at the same time.

He ran pretty fast.

This little guy.

The person who came was none other than Pei An.

He had no idea that the two people in the house were discussing how to use him just a moment ago. As soon as he stepped into the house, he couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Qin, the county magistrate has agreed to your plan and will send people to dig the river tomorrow!"

Qin Zhao glanced at Jing Li in surprise.

Why does he feel...this little koi has become more and more powerful recently?

Jing Li wanted the flood problem to be solved smoothly, so Qin Zhao was forced to set off to come to the county in person the next day. If he had not come in person, he might not have been left here, and the flood problem in Linxi Village would not have been solved so smoothly.

He wanted Qin Zhao to get better, so they met Mr. Xue in the county town and got a new prescription.

As for now, they were still worrying about how to push forward the water control, and Pei An brought good news.

However... although it brought good news, it came at the wrong time.

Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze and said softly: "Didn't the county magistrate yesterday say that it would be a waste of money and people, and he absolutely disagreed with it? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?"

"Yesterday, your Excellency did have some improper considerations. Today, Your Excellency and I reviewed the cases of water control in Guangdong and Guangxi in the past few years, and found that when the two Guangxi and Guangxi controlled floods, they used the method of diversion and diversion."

"With the original file here, it proves that this method is indeed effective, so you will naturally have no worries anymore."

Pei An smiled and said, "No, sir, you asked me to come quickly to find Mr. and ask for some final details of the construction."

Business was the most important thing, not to mention they had others to ask for, so Qin Zhao could only nod his head: "Sit down."

Pei An and Qin Zhao chatted for almost an hour.
