"Huff … Huff …"

Struggling to escape from the space with great difficulty, yes, yes, you did not see wrongly, you did escape from the space!

Nona wiped off her sweat as she took deep breaths. One of her hands patted her chest as her eyes sparkled. It could be said that she was more of a joy than a fright.

Yes, it was indeed a pleasant surprise.

These few months, she had spent all her time entering the space to collect herbs, but her injury had delayed her for half a month. It wasn't easy for her to enter the space today, so she suddenly didn't look too good.

"I'm rich!"

Yes, indeed.

He ruthlessly pinched his thigh. A sharp pain came from his thigh, indicating that what he saw was real and that he wasn't dreaming.

"Heh heh …" Not caring about her image, Jiu Niang sat on the ground with a silly smile on her face. Fortunately, Gu Yu Shi went to the fields and didn't come back, while Gu Jinyu went to the academy. Since the Gu family was an outsider, and the house was quite a distance away from the village, there weren't many people around. If someone else enjoyed her appearance like this, then other than having a face full of pus and ugliness, there would be something else that was abnormal about her.

However, she was really too excited, and couldn't control herself no matter how hard she tried.

"Wow, that's great, that's great, we can save them!"

She tightly clenched her fists, but she was still unable to suppress the ecstasy in her heart.

She had originally thought that since she hadn't entered the Space for half a month, the herbs in the Space would have all dried up. However … Indeed, it was just as she had expected. After entering the space, she discovered that there was not a single strand of grass left in the previously overgrown space. She instantly panicked. She thought there must have been something wrong with the space. Ever since she woke up from her teleportation, she found herself in this space. However, she was still slowly figuring out how to use it. In the past few months, I've only discovered that growing medicinal herbs inside matured earlier than outside …

But she clearly remembered that when she was injured and entered the space, the herbs were already ripe. It was just that the situation at that time didn't mean that she didn't have the time, even if she had the time, she wouldn't have the strength to take those herbs. However, it had only been half a month since she entered the space, and the large amount of herbs that filled the space had all disappeared. How could she not be panicking?

However, after panicking, she quickly discovered that the space seemed to have changed.

Back then, she had discovered that the space had expanded by more than a fold after saving Xu Tianlong. This time, she discovered that the herbs were gone, but a new function had appeared in the space: Exchange!

Right, exchange!

Furthermore, she discovered that the matured herbs did not disappear but were instead stored away. In the Exchange Hall, there were a few simple medicinal herbs, and the materials for making those medicines were all the medicinal herbs grown in the original space. This way, Nona was more than just pleasantly surprised. She was so excited that she was about to die.

In other words, as long as he could grow the appropriate herbs in the space, he would be able to synthesize the medicine he wanted!

Nona's first thought was of the anesthetic, the anti-inflammatory drug!

If... If he could synthesize these things, did that mean he could really treat his brother's eyes? Just thinking about it made Nona excited.

"No, no, I have to try!"

After feeling excited, Nona thought to give it a try and see if it could really synthesize the medicine she wanted.

But...

Before she could take action, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Clang clang!"

Outside the Gu family courtyard, the thin wooden door was pushed open.

Hearing the sound, Nona reflexively stood up and saw two people standing at the door.

One Gu Jinyu, the other …

"Xu Tianshong!"

Nona recognized the culprit who had beaten her up with a single glance, the culprit who had been lying on the bed for half a month. Her face immediately paled, while at the same time, her heart raced. What was this fellow doing at his house? Did they come looking for him? Although she hadn't mentioned this to Gu Jinyu or Madam Yu these days, she still remembered Shopkeeper Wang's words very clearly. She had seen that Xu Qiuqian's ruthlessness before, so even if she was beaten up, she could only treat it as bad luck. After all, she couldn't get her arms around him, and she had no idea what to do with her life. Originally, she had thought that she had escaped calamity by hiding for the better part of a month. However, to her surprise, Xu Tianyi had actually appeared at her doorstep without a word.

He was panicking. Gu Yu's family wasn't home, and he was the only one at home. If the Xu family really came looking for him, then the only ones who would suffer would be his brother. The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became. The first thing she thought about was that a wise man doesn't eat when the odds are against him. If you can't beat him, then run! But now that the two of them were standing at the door, there was no chance for them to escape even if they wanted to. He quickly looked around. Thankfully, Xu Tianshong only had one bookkeeper following him that day. Other than that, no one else was around. Nona's worried heart finally relaxed a little bit …

However, he still walked forward in quick steps and grabbed Gu Jinyu's hand, standing in front of her to protect her. He steeled his heart and went straight against Xu Tianyun. Everything had started because of him. If this Xu Tianyi really wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't let him bully his brother. "What are you doing here!?" If it wasn't for me, you would have already reported to the hall of the underworld! "I never thought that your Xu family would actually repay kindness with enmity!"

With a fierce expression, Nona glared at Xu Tianyun and reprimanded him without any trace of politeness.

The Gu family practiced medicine for generations, so naturally, they had seen many unreasonable patients. It was also because of a dispute between doctors and patients that she ended up foolishly falling on this girl's body. That day in the Wang family's medicine store, she had indeed been stunned by that Xu Qiuyi. Seeing that it was Xu Tianshong and not Xu Qiuyi who had come knocking on the door, she felt a little relieved even though she was panicking.

He couldn't do anything to that man Xu, who was a million yuan tall. However, if this Xu Tianshong really did fight, he might have to wait to be taken advantage of.

At the very least, he couldn't drag his brother down with him.

"I …" I... "I …"

Although Jiu Niang's face was still covered by a scarf, it was still impossible to see her face. However, when she met those clear eyes, Xu Tianyun immediately lowered his head. I couldn't say a single complete sentence for a long while. Since Nona was eagerly pestering the two most talented students in the academy, she had long since become the academy's laughingstock. In the middle of it all, there was no lack of her worried face. Due to the fact that he had never really seen Xu Tianyi before, Xu Tianyi knew that she was the one who saved him from a long period of confusion. However, after searching for half a month without finding any trace of Nona, that bit of hesitation in his heart slowly turned into expectation. Now that he finally saw the person he had been yearning for, Xu Tianyong's face turned red and he was unable to say a single word.

"You followed me all the way home. I don't care what you do, I'm already home. Please go home!"

Without waiting for her to speak, Gu Jinyu was the first to speak. Xu Tianlong shamelessly followed her along the way. No matter how he chased her, he would not leave, so she just let him. He had heard what Jiu Niang said clearly. He couldn't wait to ask what was going on, so he naturally didn't have the time to waste on her.

"I'm not looking for you!" I am... "I'm looking for Nona!" "As soon as Gu Jinyu opened her mouth, Xu Tianyun reacted. Although he was still not tough, at least he was able to finish what he wanted to say. Looking at her unfriendly face, he gritted his teeth and roared," "Ninth Madame, I'll marry you!"

In a single breath, he shouted out his thoughts, and like a mountain that had been pressed down on his heart, he disappeared. Xu Tianyong seemed to have come back to life.

However, when he said he was alive, Gu Jinyu and Jiu Niang were not in good shape.

This was especially true for Nona, as her voice kept echoing in her ears: "Nona, how is it for me to marry you?" How would it be if I married you...

Staring dumbfoundedly at Xu Tianyi, Nona was completely dumbstruck. Her mind went blank for a moment, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Well, she, she was proposed!

However, she was not pleasantly surprised at all. On the contrary, she was quite frightened.

"You …." "You …"

After a long while, she slowly recovered. Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she wanted to say: You're crazy.

But before she could say anything, she felt like she was pulled roughly by someone. By the time she reacted, she was already blocked by Gu Jinyu, and she even knocked her nose on it. That was good enough, if only she was an adult and she almost cried.

"Big bro …" Gu Jinyu had always been a meticulous person. This was the first time she was so rude. Nona wanted to complain, but she didn't want to. Before she could say anything, she was scolded by Gu Jinyu.

"Shut up!" Gu Jinyu's face darkened. She clenched her fists to resist the urge to beat him up.

Due to his eye ailments, he had always been a quiet person. Moreover, from primary school he had always been a man of noble principles. Even at his age, he had never been so impulsive. How shameless of him, he actually dared to think of his Ninth Niang!

Yes, his Ninth Mother.

His face was extremely gloomy, and although his eyes couldn't see the light, they were so cold that no one dared to look him in the eye. Even he didn't realize that he had already mentally classified Nona as his own.

The temperature in the area dropped by a few degrees. It was easy for Xu Tianshi to relax, but also became tighter.

He looked at Gu Jinyu nervously and quietly pinched the hem of his shirt, swallowing his saliva in fear. He said weakly, "I … I'm serious. I … I really … really want to marry Nona." "I, I will not mistreat her. If … if I can't, we can get married."

Speaking of Xu Tianlong, he had also gone through hundreds and thousands of twists and turns in the past few days. He was still hesitating before coming over, but when he saw her and met her clear eyes, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat as he made this decision. Although he didn't like to read since he was young, he had heard a lot of nonsense. He didn't know how many of those who had saved him had given him their lives. Due to his pampered upbringing, he had never seen the slightest bit of hardship in his life. He had never seen any hardships in his life. Although his own life had been saved by Nona, he still heard rumors about her. Of course, the most powerful one of them all, excluding her naturally pimpled face, was the matter regarding Zi Lang and Mo Fan.

Then, although I'm not as good at reading as Zi Lang and Mo Fan." "But my family is rich, so I'm sure that I won't starve you." After a while, when he didn't hear from either Nona or Gu Jinyu, Xu Tianyun was a bit worried. Since he didn't see her face, but only her large watery eyes made him forget about her appearance. After a long time, the two of them still did not speak. There was no one in the academy who didn't know about the matter of Ninth Mother sticking close to Zi Lang and Mo Fan. Compared to the two of them, he felt somewhat inferior. "Naturally, he felt that his promise was not bad. Who would've thought that he would get something like this!

"Who … who wants to marry you?!"

"Scram!"

Nona and Gu Jinyu snapped at the same time with dark faces.
