After thinking it over, Satan increasingly felt sothing was wrong, so he secretly prepared for contingencies in his mind to avoid being caught off guard by any sudden situations!
Gazing at Wang Bin and others who were all stunned by the bloody scene, Satan forcibly suppressed his inner disgust and slowly closed his eyes...
...
Arriving at the cave, linda gathered a pile of dry wood and lit it, then camouflaged the entrance, leaving only a design to ventilate and dilute the smoke before returning inside.
Watching Xiao Tian take out a set of tools for making dicine, particularly when he picked up those strangely shaped herbs with unpleasant slls, his look of careful handling piqued her curiosity.
Before, she had heard about the wonders of Chinese dicine, but this was her first ti seeing soone demonstrate it in front of her.
Xiao Tian selected a few herbs, skillfully placing them into a dicine grinder. Noticing linda's puzzled gaze, he began explaining the nas of the various herbs and the effects they had when combined, while picking up the pestle.
linda listened in utter disbelief but still felt sowhat foggy-headed.
Seeing linda's expression, Xiao Tian realized these things couldn't be taught to her quickly, so he started setting up a stand, pouring in clear water and simring it over the fire.
...
An hour later, seeing the bowl of peculiar-slling, black-colored dicine soup in Xiao Tian's hand, linda couldn't help but hold her nose and step back two steps.
This, this clearly looks like poison!
But seeing Xiao Tian not showing any painful expression, linda cautiously asked, "Is it tasty?"
"Try it!" Xiao Tian said with a mischievous look as he handed the bowl of dicine over.
Of course, to prevent linda from ruining the painstakingly brewed dicine, Xiao Tian thought it better to hold it himself.
Sure enough, as linda forced herself to bear the pungent sll, lightly sipping a bit, she imdiately displayed a look as if poisoned, anxiously asking, "Is there sothing sweet, quick, give so!"
Xiao Tian glanced at the neatly arranged spoils, picked out a large jar of fine honey, and scooped a bit with a spoon, handing it to linda.
After consuming the honey, linda felt slightly better, but when she looked at Xiao Tian again, her gaze beca complex, filled with admiration and confusion, but mostly fear!
"Don't you find it very bitter?" linda couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Tian looked completely normal: "Of course it's bitter, unless there's sothing wrong with my taste!"
"But, there's an old saying in Huaxia you might have heard."
Xiao Tian continued explaining, "Bitter dicine is good for the illness. In Chinese dicine, there's hardly any dicine that tastes good; unless you're pretending to be sick, that's another story!"
"So, there are so that are sweeter?" linda asked.
"Of course!" Xiao Tian enthusiastically answered linda's question: "For example, for a sore throat, you can drink so throat-soothing dicine with water, adding so sugar is fine too."
Listening to Xiao Tian speak at length, linda suddenly fell silent for a mont before asking, "Is there dicine for removing pimples on the face?"
"Acne removal?" Xiao Tian looked at linda's delicate face, puzzled, "Where do you have acne?"
linda blushed slightly under Xiao Tian's gaze and was happy hearing his words but said, "Look, isn't there here?"
"This counts?" Xiao Tian looked at the spot slightly larger than a pimple but not easy to notice, suddenly gaining new insight into a girl's love of beauty!
"Is there a solution?" linda asked with anticipation, as even the blush on her face faded considerably.
However, Xiao Tian's next words made her face turn crimson red again, spreading all the way down to her neck, revealing how embarrassed and angry linda was internally.
"You're not on your period, are you?"
Hearing such a sha-inducing question after waiting so long for an answer, linda was a bit flustered: "What are you trying to do?"
Seeing linda's flustered appearance and her crimson face, Xiao Tian instantly understood what she was thinking and quickly explained, "According to Chinese dicine, acne on the face is due to heat symptoms, considering a girl's nstrual cycle..."
"Stop talking!" linda interrupted, seeing Xiao Tian's earnest expression, knowing he wasn't just speaking randomly, yet still stopped him.
After finishing, she took the lead to lay a blanket on the ground, laying on it, turning her back to avoid looking at Xiao Tian on the other side.
At this mont, in Xiao Tian's heart, besides those unethical quack doctors, there was another hurdle for the dissemination of Chinese dicine, being the potential for misunderstanding caused by certain terms.
For instance, now, even though I was earnestly questioning her, the feedback was sowhat disappointing!
Of course, this is also inseparably linked to the nature and severity of the illness—if one were truly terminally ill, who would have the heart to bother about these things?!
The saying goes that dicine doesn't cure fake illnesses, and alcohol doesn't ease true sorrow; it's sowhat like that!
Sighing, Xiao Tian lay down by himself, completely unaware that linda on the other side had already fallen asleep?
...
Actually, thinking about it carefully, there were suspicious points in the blond man from the Water Drop Organization encountered during the day.
However, due to Liu Hanyan and a series of subsequent events, Xiao Tian had developed a natural adversarial stance towards the Water Drop Organization, thinking there was no need for any justification in their confrontations, thus not pondering much on the blond man's words.
For instance, the first words of the blond man were quite dubious.
At that ti, he said, Xiao Tian and linda brought themselves to him, sparing him the search; upon careful thought, this is quite intriguing.
Though Xiao Tian's relationship with the Water Drop Organization was one of mutual hostility, it wasn't to the extent of both sides deliberately seeking each other out.
The only possibility is that he was hired; there is no other reason because there is no personal grudge between the two, insufficient to prompt such deliberate pursuit.
Besides, the ntion of an old friend by the blond man is also worth pondering; claiming to be an old friend, yet Xiao Tian scoured his mory but found no recollection whatsoever of him.
Thinking it over, Xiao Tian, still at a loss, could only conclude that the blond man spoke from the perspective of the forces behind him!
Thinking this way, everything makes sense!
However, what he did not know was that the blond man's initial target wasn't really Xiao Tian...
