Chapter 534: Chapter 528: Going Home Chapter 534: Chapter 528: Going Home And for that Phoenix Man, without a Tang Yuxin willing to brave blades and flames for him, how could he ever climb to the heights he reached in his previous life?
The moment the medicine touched the wound, a refreshing cool sensation was felt, acpanied by a faint aroma.
Its smell was indescribable, yet it felt genuinely soothing.
“Apply it without bandaging and it won’t soil your clothes.
In a few days, the frostbite on your hand will heal quickly.
This really is a divine medicine.”
Tang Yuxin placed the bottle in Gu Ning’s hands, “Don’t save it.
You can even use it on your face.
I made it myself and there’s plenty in this jar.”
Gu Ning’s grip tightened on the bottle.
Seeing it, he could tell that it had anti-inflammatory and pain-soothing properties.
This medicine was indeed good.
He pocketed the bottle without any formalities in front of Tang Yuxin.
“I need to go now,” he stood up, nodding at the approximate time.
Tang Yuxin pondered for a moment before finally presenting him with a larger jar.
It contained the frostbite ointment she spent days producing.
Despite its lackluster appearance and odd texture, it was a treasure.
It wasn’t just the cost of the herbs, but the value of her time that couldn’t be estimated by ordinary standards.
This was far superior to regular frostbite ointments available in stores.
Tang Yuxin slid her hand into Gu Ning’s pocket, retrieving the small bottle.

In exchange, she placed the large jar in his hand.
This jar was a glass bottle previously used for making wine, of which she had many.
She used them to age snakes for her brew.
Bottles were quite easy to get, but medicine was not.
Making the medicine was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
She was bothered by the dozens of steps that had to be done by hand.
Had she not gotten frostbite herself, she wouldn’t have resorted to making it by hand.
Normally, she’d just buy what she needed from a pharmacy.
Thanks to her half-month vacation and her own severe frostbite, she had enough time to simmer the medicine.
Gu Ning held a large glass bottle, still managing to free his hand to pat her head.
“Why are you being so generous?”
“Anyways, I won’t be using all of it myself and…” Tang Yuxin stepped back.
She was no athlete, but her agility came from years of gathering herbs on the mountainsides.
She touched her own hair.
“Stop touching my head, it’s like you’re patting a little dog.
Hasn’t anyone told you?” She shook her head, freeing her hair from his hand.
“Though I may be wounded and bleed, my hairstyle must remain intact.”
Gu Ning maintained a posed expression, but the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched.
He left, taking the large jar of ointment with him.
This was a precious asset, and he was the test subject.
The medicine was working wonders on his fingers to the extent that he could no longer feel any pain.
The medicine Tang Yuxin had prepared in accordance with ancient prescriptions and crafted diligently by hand was truly a rarity.
And it came just when it was needed.
The climbers’ fingers were severely frostbitten, some cracked to the bone.
Tang Yuxin said that the medicine could be applied without bandaging and wasn’t affected by water or wind.
After applying, it’d be quickly absorbed by the wounds, making it perfect for the soldiers.
As for Tang Yuxin herself, she grabbed some snacks and picked up a book.
She had always enjoyed such days, where she could immerse herself in literature.
She envisioned herself as the female lead in the book, following the story to its conclusion.
A book represented a world, a cycle of life.
The next day, she woke up to the sound of the base’s morning call.
She had stayed up late reading the night before, so she felt a bit dizzy.
She understood just how much a night without sleep could affect her and acknowledged that she would need several days to recover.
So tired.
She stretched, feeling her skeletal frame extending and expanding.
Of course, she knew she wasn’t growing taller.
At just over 1.6 meters, she was already quite content with her height.
With heels, she could even pass off as impressive.
She retrieved her large luggage from the cabinet, stuffing a few clothes in it.
Ten days of vacation left, and she decided it was time to visit home, paying her younger brother a visit.
She hadn’t seen Chengcheng in a while and wondered whether he had gained weight and kept up with his studies.
She also decided to visit Lin Yile’s daughter.
She locked the door and boarded the hospital’s private car to the city center, ready to take a train home.
The sudden decision meant there were no suitable flights, so she had to settle for a train ride.
It wasn’t a big deal.
She believed that the convenience of high-speed railway would one day surpass air travel.
Tang Yuxin was not fond of flying, especially during takeoff and landing.
Maybe she just wasn’t friendly with airplanes, so she always took trains instead.
Furthermore, her silver needles weren’t allowed on planes, making trains even more appealing.
Upon reaching the city, she realized she had a few hours before her train was due to depart.
Leisurely, she dragged her luggage to a supermarket to buy some local specialties and snacks for Chengcheng.
Although Qing’an had developed quite well, it still paled pared to the Imperial Capital.
She bought imported snacks for Chengcheng and Qiqi.
They were still kids, and kids loved snacks.
As long as they didn’t go overboard, she didn’t discourage them from having sweets.
She initially planned to buy just a few items, but she ended up purchasing a lot, even baby teethers for Qiqi, although she wasn’t sure if Qiqi was teething yet.
It was only at the checkout counter that she realized the amount she had bought.
Looking at her luggage, she decided to take everything.
These items wouldn’t spoil, but they would be devoured by her younger brother in no time.
After all, Chengcheng was a generous child and liked to share his snacks with other children.
Despite his young age, he was well-liked in the village, even more so than his father.
