"What are you thinking about?! He was lying on the ground with his head bent, just enough to show a small section of his neck, and I could see the pulse on his neck! From that, I can deduce the rhythm of his heartbeat!"

"S-See the heartbeat?" Qian Wanjin immediately used his hand to touch the carotid part of his neck. His fingers could indeed feel the carotid artery throbbing. And then his eyes again aimed at the little girl's neck to make sure he could see it. What he saw, however, was only pink and white. "Ahem! I can't see anything."

"Your focus is off course." Liu Yusheng sighed helplessly. "I'm saying that there's something wrong with that person, so I won't save him."

"Did he really come to kidnap? Now that the winery business is getting better and better, my worth has risen so high, so coming to kidnap me is indeed a big possibility." Qian Wanjin knitted his brows. "But why didn't he stop us when we left just now and didn't catch up? He didn't move at all; it's not right."

"I sprinkled anesthetic powder, so he couldn't get up."

"…" Qian Wanjin moved his buttocks closer to the little girl. "Lucky Nannan, do you still have anesthetic powder left? Give me some for self-defense."

"…"

"I'm not kidding! I hardly ever go out in Cangwu Town without an escort, so if criminals do find a chance to kidnap me, I'll have a much better chance of surviving with your anesthetic powder!" The teenager stretched his palms with a give-me-something, give-me-something look on his face. "When did you get these things? I always thought you only refine medicines that save lives."

"I refined it when I had nothing else to do." She evaded the crucial point and took out a small vial and handed it to Qian Wanjin. "Don't tell my family about this when we get back, lest they worry."

"I know-I know. Am I such a thoughtless person?!"

The young man got the medicine bottle and excitedly wanted to study the powder inside, but was slapped by Liu Yusheng. "Wait until I get back and prepare the antidote for you before you play. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you if you're paralyzed later."

"There's an antidote?"

Liu Yusheng shook the small spice pouch hanging around her waist. "This is it."

"…" Exceptional.

Looking down at the small satchel, Liu Yusheng's eyes dimmed.

After her kidnapping in the mountains at the age of three, she thought of concocting a psychedelic poison to protect herself. She had been researching it all these years, and succeeded a bit. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the person she wanted to share the results with was now unknown.

Back home, she took out those little things she bought and made the family smile with joy. Their eyes on Nannan were as sweet as melted sugar.

The three old men even directly replaced their boots, looking proud and satisfied.

Qian Wanjin secretly turned a blind eye. Petty favors could actually earn such a whopping response.

Next time, he would do the same.

When Da Huang brought down the big bag of cotton from the back of the carriage, Grandma Liu was between joy and distress. "Why did you buy cotton? This stuff is very expensive, especially new cotton. The cotton quilts and mattresses at home, as well as other things are still soft. There's no need for a change."
