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 home, 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 home well and then hand it over to him. This time, when picking herbs for Luo Anguo, it turned into an unexpected gain. When Beisitian returned home, 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 something 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 medicine,’ thus creating a relatively quiet environment. This time, 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 me immediately," Beisitian instructed. Luo Anguo listened carefully to her words, knowing that this child never said unnecessary things. Everything she mentioned was important. As Beisitian said, this week’s medicine, whether drunk or applied, had a very strong feeling. Sometimes this feeling came from deep within, other times 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 medicine. "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 seemed 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 me 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 smell it. "Dr. Tao, this medicine works wonders for me. 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 mentioned 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 recommended 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 seemed 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 something he hadn’t discovered. Both possibilities seemed 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 judgment. 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 meet 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 appointments scheduled three weeks in advance, so he couldn’t wait for Beisitian. For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Since he was there, Tao Hailin naturally prepared medicine for Wu Yuekai before leaving. Wu Yuekai hurriedly had someone take him to a room in a corner, guarded by two soldiers, where no one could approach. About twenty minutes later, Tao Hailin came out holding a glass of clear water and went to Wu Yuekai’s study, handing it to him to drink. Wu Yuekai, accustomed to this, took it and drank it down. His current condition made only Tao Hailin’s medicine effective for him. But someone like Tao Hailin couldn’t be around all the time, even for a commander. Watching Wu Yuekai drink the clear water, Tao Hailin picked up his small case and left.
