Perhaps in terms of emotions, she couldn’t give an equal response, but she could do her best to take care of their bodies. In fact, she didn’t dislike the Liang family; she even liked the brotherly bond within the Liang family very much—it was something she hadn’t experienced in her previous life. Her previous melancholy and entanglement was only because an emotional debt is the heaviest to bear... In the past few months, Shujun’s body had been terribly worn down, so that, although he put on an alright front as if nothing was wrong, he had lost a significant amount of weight, and even with Dong Huiying making him delicious food in various ways these days, he had not managed to gain any weight. This kind of thing can’t be rushed; it can’t be solved by taking drastic measures. At present, he was too frail to be nourished and could only be slowly nursed back to health eventually. When removing the Gu that day, Dong Huiying had made several cuts on Zhi Chen, but under the treatment of her magical medical skills, Zhi Chen’s external injuries had all healed, and not even a single scar was left behind. Because Dong Huiying had boiled a large pot of Scar Removal Ointment, she distributed it to these men, so those with scars could remove them, and those without scars... Well, they could just join in on the fun! Once Zhi Chen recovered, the group also began planning their return journey. Zhi Chen said, "I see that Shujun looks much better, but I’m not sure if he can endure the journey in a carriage." Dong Huiying nodded her little head seriously, "If we don’t rush the journey, with me taking care of him, there shouldn’t be any major problems." "Okay, then I’ll notify Su Lang to send a carriage over. We have been out for quite some time; it’s about time to return." Before leaving, Dong Huiying still had quite a few things to sort out, like her bottles and jars, the herbs she had gathered, the Gu she had refined these days, and so on. Even though the Devouring God Gu had been removed from her body, she hadn’t lost the skill of Gu refinement. However, going back... She thought of Yixuan, how every time she approached, Yixuan’s body would subconsciously recoil, and she sighed softly again. Could she really return? At that moment, Zhi Chen suddenly took her hand. "Don’t think too much, we’re family." Family, that was the most touching phrase she had heard in her past life, and this life—combined. Liang Zhichen sent a message by carrier pigeon to Su Lang, who had already learned of the situation from the letter. Knowing that there were too many people for one carriage on Liang Zhichen’s side, Su Lang specially arranged for two carriages to be dispatched. Before departing, Dong Huiying intended to say farewell to Shen Qiuyang, only to see Shen Qiuyang approaching her with a small bundle in tow. "Count me in. This journey passes through Pingchang City, and it just so happens, I should be going back too." Actually, if it weren’t for meeting Dong Huiying, Shen Qiuyang would have returned a month ago. But because of meeting Dong Huiying, her journey had been pushed back again and again, until now. In this manner, Shen Qiuyang and Dong Huiying shared a carriage. The clumsy tiger Da Bai also scrambled into the carriage, while Shujun was responsible for driving the carriage from the outside. Liang Zhichen, Liang Haoming, and Liang Yuening took the other carriage. The two carriages proceeded one after the other down the mountain. At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. A carriage stopped at the base of the mountain; the middle-aged woman driving it held some dry food, urging with a worried face, "Owner, please try to eat something." The woman inside the carriage waved her hand, looking rather haggard. She said wearily, "Aunt Zhao, take it away, I really can’t eat." This person was He Su.
