“It can’t be that serious,” w.a.n.g Ru said with a smile.
“Of course, it is. For the wedding, only you and the groom will be the protagonists,” her friend said. “Other people can only be supporting actors. If you are standing next to your sister-in-law dressed like that, all the friends and guests will turn their gazes to your sister-in-law beside you. You must listen to my opinion.”
“What you have just said is reasonable, but how can I tell her that?” w.a.n.g Ru asked after considering what her friend said. “She has come all the way from Jing to attend my wedding.”
“It’s simple. Go to your brother and let him tell her,” her friend suggested.
“Alright.”
w.a.n.g Ru called w.a.n.g Yao over alone and told him about it.
“Well, alright, your worries make sense,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “I’ll talk to Xiaoxue about it.”
To be honest, when his girlfriend had put on the dress, he suddenly had a shocking feeling. She could not be described by a simple word like “beautiful.”
He called Su Xiaoxue, who was very excited, aside, and told her his sister’s request very gently.
“Huh?” Sure enough, Su Xiaoxue was disappointed after hearing about it, but she was still happy because she heard w.a.n.g Yao’s praise for her.
“Alright.”
The two of them could not help much there since everything was almost ready. They just had to wait for the wedding day.
w.a.n.g Yao could see that his older sister was very happy, but she was a little nervous. Du Mingyang was very loving and accompanied her throughout the entire process.
“I am so envious of them,” Su Xiaoxue said.
“Are you?” w.a.n.g Yao asked with a smile. “If you are willing, I will marry you.”
This sentence came out of w.a.n.g Yao’s mouth calmly, but Su Xiaoxue’s body quivered after hearing it.
“Really?”
“Of course,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Alright, you marry me,” Su Xiaoxue sweetly said. “When I graduate, we will get married.”
“Sure, that’s settled,” w.a.n.g Yao said. With one sentence, he was set for life.
The two of them left Lianshan’s town center when it was almost dark and rushed back to the village.
In the evening, w.a.n.g Yao went to Zhou Xiong’s residence in the mountain village to check on a patient. The man looked much better, but his entire body still hurt quite badly.
“Thank you so much, Sir.” He addressed w.a.n.g Yao the same as Zhou Xiong.
“Mmm, does it still hurt today?” w.a.n.g Yao asked,
“Yes, the pain seems to be worse than yesterday,” the man said.
“Is that so? I’ll take a look for you again.” w.a.n.g Yao re-examined him. “It is not a big problem. It’s just that the recovery of the internal organs is a little slower than I thought.”
For organ damage, the effect of the regathering soup alone was slightly inefficient.
“I’ll make some more medicine,” w.a.n.g Yao said to Zhou Xiong. “Come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.”
“Yes, Sir,” Zhou Xiong replied.
That night, w.a.n.g Yao did not go up the mountain. He stayed at home for the night because Su Xiaoxue was also staying at his home.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, after breakfast, w.a.n.g Yao and Su Xiaoxue went up the mountain.
Mountain firewood…
Ancient spring water…
Multifunctional pot for herbs…
It was the usual three items.
w.a.n.g Yao brewed medicine while Su Xiaoxue sat beside him and accompanied him. She also made a pot of tea for him.
Ginseng, Gorgon fruit, angelica, Ganoderma lucidum, licorice… Regathering soup, along with a non-withering herb, was used to calm the five vital internal organs and nourish the injuries while strengthening the uninjured parts. It was a prescription especially made for the injured patient.
“Have some tea first, Sir.” Su Xiaoxue poured him a cup of tea.
“Thank you.” w.a.n.g Yao accepted it with a smile.
“Do you find it very boring?” he asked.
“It is not boring.” Su Xiaoxue shook her head.
“There is still some fruit there,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Would you like some more?”
“Sure.” Su Xiaoxue got up and brought the fruit over. She ate a grape and picked one to put in w.a.n.g Yao’s mouth.
If both their actions were to be seen by outsiders, it would have probably caused countless single dogs to go green with envy.
The herbal medicine was brewed.
“What’s the use of this medicine, Sir?” she asked.
“It is to consolidate the corporeity, settle and stabilize the five internal organs, and treat any injuries while nouris.h.i.+ng the other body parts,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “There is a special patient in the village. His body’s meridians and internal organs have been disrupted and injured. He has been given medicine. The recovery of meridians is doing fine, but the recovery of his internal organs is a little slower, so I have added this medicine for him.”
“Oh.”
After the medicine had been brewed, they did not rush down the mountain. w.a.n.g Yao and Su Xiaoxue walked around the mountain and saw the plentiful fruits hanging on the trees. Su Xiaoxue suggested picking some.
“Sure, you pick some first,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “I’ll come and help you if you can’t reach it.”
Su Xiaoxue picked the fruit she could reach.
“That one is good, Sir!” She pointed to an autumn pear that was more than 9 feet from the ground.
“Alright, it’s easy to get,” he said.
When w.a.n.g Yao grabbed the air, it was as if the pear had been held by an invisible hand. The branches became tense. Suddenly, the pear flew toward the two of them. w.a.n.g Yao waved his hand a little, and the pear fell into Su Xiaoxue’s hand.
“Wow, Sir, you are great!” She happily clapped her hands. It was like a magic trick.
Seeing that she was happy, w.a.n.g Yao picked more fruit, again and again, using that method.
“What kind of kung fu is it, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue asked.
“Well, about that, there is no fixed name,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“When can I learn this, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue asked.
“When your neixi can be released, you can learn it, but it will probably take several years,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Su Xiaoxue’s neixi was improving very fast. It was beyond w.a.n.g Yao’s imagination. The speed was no slower than that of Zhong Liuchuan, who practiced in the mountain village all day. After all, her main focus in Jing was to study. She had cla.s.ses all day, and her course schedule was full. She did not have a lot of free time, unlike Zhong Liuchuan. Moreover, the environment in the village was much better than Jing, where she was living. From this, he could see how amazing her cultivating talent was.
“Shall we take these down the mountain?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Sure.”
Around 11 a.m., the two of them came down the mountain with a bag of fruit.
“In the beginning, I even went out and sold chestnuts and jujubes,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“Really?”
“Of course,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
That was in the beginning.
“It is so delicious,” Su Xiaoxue said. “It must have been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by others, right?”
“Almost,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
They went down the mountain, laughing and chatting happily. They soon saw Jia Zizai and Hu Mei, who were getting ready to go out.
“h.e.l.lo, Sir,” Jia Zizai said.
“h.e.l.lo, are you getting ready to go out?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Yes, I don’t want to cook,” Jia Zizai said. “Let’s go out and have a meal together, Sir.”
“No, it’s alright, thank you,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“OK, we shall leave first.”
“Let’s go.” Jia Zizai tugged Hu Mei along, who was a little dazed. “What’s the matter with you just now? Were you amazed? She is beautiful, right? She is just a little worse than you, Wifey.”
“What is Sir’s girlfriend’s name?” For some unknown reason, Hu Mei’s expression had turned ugly.
“I don’t know. I didn’t ask. What’s the matter?” Seeing that Hu Mei’s expression was not quite right, Jia Zizai felt a little anxious.
“It’s nothing,” Hu Mei said. “I hope I have seen wrong.”
“Wait.” Jia Zizai’s face changed. He quickly pulled her aside to the corner.
“Can you be clear? What is going on?” he asked.
“Do you remember Old Mu?” Hu Mei asked.
“Yes, I remember. He’s that weird and strange guy who is always muttering to himself,” Jia Zizai said. “He’s a poison master. What’s the matter?”
“I once worked with him to carry out a special task,” Hu Mei said. “He got a prescription from an unknown source and created a special poison. It was extremely toxic. We were appointed by Zhang Wei to go to the south to find someone to test the poison on. Those people were very difficult, so several people were injured by mistake at that time. I remember that there was a very beautiful girl in her teens. She looks similar to Sir’s girlfriend!”
“What?” Jia Zizai’s face changed. “Are you sure you remember correctly?”
“Of course, I made no mistake,” Hu Mei replied. “That girl is very beautiful, innocent, and romantic. I remember it vividly. At that time, I regretted it.”
“What is her name?” Jia Zizai asked.
“I only heard part of her name, Xiaoxue,” Hu Mei replied.
“Wait, I will go and ask.” Jia Zizai called to Zhong Liuchuan.
“What other matters do you have?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
“What are you busy with?” Jia Zizai asked.
“I am eating,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“What is the name of Sir’s girlfriend?” Jia Zizai asked.
“Why are you asking?” Zhong Liuchuan asked at the other end of the phone.
“Well, I have to know what my future Master’s wife is called,” Jia Zizai replied.
“Su Xiaoxue.”
