Huo Yao opened the box and fiddled with the bottles and jars. Her usually expressionless face turned solemn at this moment.
Wuyu was a neurotoxin. Its toxicity was not overbearing, but it could slowly damage every nerve in a person's body.
After being poisoned by it, if there were no major injuries to the body, the toxicity would not be triggered. However, once the nerves were injured, the poison would spread like vines and invade the nerves in the body bit by bit. In the end, the person would become a cripple unknowingly.
The clinical symptoms of the poisoned person were intermittent mania, and the temples would show dark shadows. When the poison reached the middle and late stages, the person would rapidly lose weight, and some red patches that were not particularly obvious would appear on the body.
Wuyu was a neurotoxin because it attached itself to every nerve in the body. A normal blood test would not be able to detect its toxicity.
Huo Yao was surprised that her fourth older brother had been poisoned by Wuyu. Judging from his current condition, the poison had already started to spread and was in the middle stages. If she did not get it under control, the consequences would be dire.
Huo Yao only had control pills in her hands. She did not have an antidote for Wuyu. Moreover, the process of making the antidote was complicated and she did not have any equipment to make it. This was a headache.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. Finally, she picked a bottle of medicine that could temporarily contain the poison. She took it and walked out of the room.
Downstairs.
Huo Jinyan was about to head to his room to rest when he saw his daughter coming down. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Yaoyao, you haven't gone to bed yet."
"Uh huh." Huo Yao glanced at the living room and asked him. "Is Brother Xiang back in his room?"
Huo Jinyan nodded. "He was on the plane for more than ten hours. He said he was tired and went to bed."
Huo Yao said, "Dad, you should get some rest too."
After that, she turned around and went upstairs.
It took her less than a minute to go up and down the stairs.
Huo Jinyan suddenly felt a little upset as he looked at his daughter's back. Huo Tingrui was already annoying enough, and now Huo Xiang was back... Was it so hard for him to live a cozy life as a family of three?

The next morning.
Huo Yao saw Huo Xiang sitting in the living room when she reached the second-floor staircase. She paused before going back to her room. Before long, she came back out with the bottle of pills she found last night.
Huo Yao went downstairs and greeted him obediently. "Good morning, Brother Xiang."
"Morning, Little Sister." Huo Xiang nodded slightly.
After a night of rest, Huo Xiang's complexion was slightly better than the day before. However, his temples were still swollen. Huo Yao withdrew her gaze without batting an eyelid. It seemed like her judgment last night was right.
Huo Yao paused before she handed the porcelain bottle over. "This is for you."
Huo Xiang's eyes landed on the porcelain bottle. He was stunned for a moment before he reached out to take it. "What's this?"
Before Huo Yao could reply, Huo Jinyan came out of the washroom and explained. "It's an all-nourishing pill."
Huo Xiang, "..."
Huo Yao, "..."
"After your little sister came back, I gave it to everyone as a greeting gift. It worked really well. I can feel my body getting stronger."
Huo Jinyan swung his fist in the air as he spoke and accidentally knocked a wooden ornament on the floor.
