Because of Zhou Tian’s words, neither of them felt like eating any more. After having a bowl of hot soup, they bid farewell to Zhou Tian.
Near the North Slope, Luo Xudong stopped, gazing ahead absentmindedly, then smiled at Beisitian and said, "Let’s part ways here."
Beisitian turned her head to look at him. Not knowing his identity was fine, but now that she knew, she couldn’t imagine his feelings when he said this.
Seeing that after crossing the North Slope he would be ho, he had to stop walking.
"Hmm." Beisitian didn’t know what to say.
Luo Xudong left, neatly and decisively, without a trace of hesitation. Beisitian watched his broad back, lost in thought.
After a while, she sighed softly, "Let’s go, Zhuangzhuang."
Before Luo Xudong returned, she would manage this ho well and then hand it over to him.
This ti, when picking herbs for Luo Anguo, it turned into an unexpected gain.
When Beisitian returned ho, Mrs. Qin was sitting in the courtyard picking vegetables. As soon as she heard the door, she stood up. Seeing Beisitian’s form, her heart finally settled back in her chest.
"Why did it take so long!" Mrs. Qin was relieved and then a bit angry. These days, she was so worried, she couldn’t eat or sleep well, fearing sothing might happen.
"Spring herbs are hard to find, so I went further." Beisitian laughed.
Mrs. Qin knew she liked things clean, and she hadn’t had a proper bath in days, surely feeling uncomfortable, so she put down her work and went inside to heat water for her.
Beisitian took a comfortable hot bath, and the little hesitation in her heart vanished. She couldn’t tell them about Luo Xudong for now, but fortunately, so many years had passed; they had moved on from the sadness.
Beisitian glanced at Luo Anguo’s leg, and after resting for an afternoon, she began talisman making. She had instructed Mrs. Qin and others not to disturb her when she was ’preparing dicine,’ thus creating a relatively quiet environnt.
This ti, with various herbal combinations, Beisitian’s talismanic water would be more effective than before, but the stimulation would also be greater.
Luo Anguo now had feelings in his leg and could sense a tingling sensation. Rather than being surprised, he was delighted. The stronger this feeling, the better.
Since being able to take his first step, Luo Anguo has been very proactive with rehabilitation exercises. Now he can try taking three to four steps by himself, showing great progress.
"The stimulation will be quite intense this week. If you feel uncomfortable in any part of your body, you must tell imdiately," Beisitian instructed.
Luo Anguo listened carefully to her words, knowing that this child never said unnecessary things. Everything she ntioned was important.
As Beisitian said, this week’s dicine, whether drunk or applied, had a very strong feeling.
Sotis this feeling ca from deep within, other tis in the leg, but so far, no discomfort had appeared.
Beisitian knew this was because Luo Anguo’s body hadn’t rejected the repelling charm effect, which greatly relieved her.
While Beisitian was trying hard to treat Luo Anguo’s leg, in Wu Yuekai’s courtyard, his primary doctor finally arrived.
Li Xuejun complained to the primary doctor about Wu Yuekai’s reckless use of dicine.
"Dr. Tao, don’t you think the old commander is acting recklessly?" Li Xuejun hoped Tao Hailin would speak to the old commander because now, the commander would only listen to him.
Tao Hailin, with his broad eyebrows, big eyes, and square face, showed no extra expression. Hearing Li Xuejun chatter beside him, he neither interrupted nor continued the conversation.
Li Xuejun seed used to it and could keep talking without pause.
"Dr. Tao, please look at this plaster. Is there any problem with it? Can it be used?" Li Xuejun asked beside him.
"You’re the noisiest. Go get a cup of water," Wu Yuekai scolded.
Li Xuejun reacted out of habit, straightened up, responded with ’Yes,’ then slumped his shoulders and went to get the water.
When Li Xuejun left, the room quieted down. Tao Hailin carefully examined the plaster, occasionally bringing it to his nose to sll it.
"Dr. Tao, this dicine works wonders for . As soon as I apply it, it takes effect within ten minutes, and the effect lasts a week after three applications," Wu Yuekai shared his experience.
Even though Li Xuejun ntioned it, Tao Hailin wasn’t entirely convinced, but when Wu Yuekai spoke, he couldn’t help but believe.
"Not a bit of pain?" Tao Hailin’s voice was low and hoarse.
"No pain, and no stiffness, almost like a normal leg!" Wu Yuekai replied.
This was why he so highly recomnded this plaster; even if there were side effects, unless severe, he would still use it.
Tao Hailin nodded. The herbal combination in this plaster was quite clever. Even though the plaster seed crude, from the skillful technique, it was clear the maker wasn’t a novice—likely, they were an experienced doctor.
These herbs were all familiar to him, which is why it puzzled him. Combining these herbs should make the plaster more effective than usual, but not to the extent Wu Yuekai described, like a normal leg, lasting a week!
If not, then Wu Yuekai must have exaggerated, or the plaster contained sothing he hadn’t discovered.
Both possibilities seed unlikely.
Wu Yuekai was a commander; he wouldn’t have exaggerated, as it would do him no good.
Additionally, he was quite confident in his own judgnt.
Tao Hailin initially intended to take a piece of the plaster for further study, but seeing Wu Yuekai’s reluctance—neither agreeing nor disagreeing—he unconsciously put the plaster down.
Tao Hailin wanted to et the doctor who made the plaster, but Wu Yuekai said the girl hadn’t been around recently, and he didn’t know where she was, so he couldn’t bring her over.
Tao Hailin was very busy, with appointnts scheduled three weeks in advance, so he couldn’t wait for Beisitian.
Since he was there, Tao Hailin naturally prepared dicine for Wu Yuekai before leaving.
Wu Yuekai hurriedly had soone take him to a room in a corner, guarded by two soldiers, where no one could approach.
About twenty minutes later, Tao Hailin ca out holding a glass of clear water and went to Wu Yuekai’s study, handing it to him to drink.
Wu Yuekai, accustod to this, took it and drank it down. His current condition made only Tao Hailin’s dicine effective for him.
But soone like Tao Hailin couldn’t be around all the ti, even for a commander.
Watching Wu Yuekai drink the clear water, Tao Hailin picked up his small case and left.
