He rubs the back of his neck and nods, because, yeah, he was definitely thinking about something good. He tries to laugh at it too. "Yeah.. guess you're right. And we were talking about you and Jingyi and.. you know, earlier." He shakes his head and rolls onto his back with a huff.
"It's kinda too bad, you know?" Wait, no. Back up. He doesn't really want to start that conversation. "Never mind. Just.. should figure this thing out with Huaisang and get you to Jingyi as soon as possible." Then if he hires someone else from that brothel, Zizhen won't have to witness it.

"Okay, okay, I uh.. it's a toxin made from yellow capped mushrooms from the mountains. It's not something I'm too familiar with, I give you my word on that!" Madam Mo relents finally. "The leader of the town, Tian Niu, is the one who makes it. His brother is the one who leads the bandits who have the tiger."
How could a whole village and a group of bandits with a tiger still lose? It had seemed like some a solid plan until Hanguang Jun and Wei Wuxian showed up.
"Yellow capped mu- I know what those are!" Jingyi blurts out to Wuxian. "I know where the medicine is!" He takes off running toward the healer's where their herbs and remedies would be kept. He isn't as good as Hanguang Jun is at this, but now that he knows what they're looking for he remembers being taught this in class. Wuxian likely also knows, but the kid is hellbent on getting there first.
