The basement was actually a separate room. A large bed leaned against the wall where a small window allowed light to filter in.
As the window was situated overhead and out of his reach, Gu Yan was not able to see much of the outside world.
A desk sat opposite his bed. Beside it was a bookshelf packed with books on medicine. Yin Shi had prepared those books for him to read saying that his master hoped he would pass the time fruitfully.
He spent most of his time at that desk, reading the books he was given. It was the only thing he could do, after all. This was how he whiled away half a month of his time.
Gu Yan enjoyed many things. He enjoyed the quiet of his pharmacy. He also enjoyed studying medicine and pharmacology.
What he did not like, however, was being confined.
