The Resplendent Farming Apothecary
chapter-151-30041322

Medical Sage choked and suddenly asked curiously, “Junior Brother, where in the world did you learn the chest opening technique and taking out an arrow with our hands? Also, that bottle and tube for the Major General, where did you get it? Quick, tell me. Have you had any adventures in the past 20 years?”

”Want to know? Are you sure you want to know?” Seeing Medical Sage repeatedly nodding, Sage Apothecary smiled wickedly and said, “Why should I tell you? I won’t tell you. Suffocate to death guessing!”

”You… run to your room and rest! Look at your eyes, they are as red as rabbits’!” Medical Sage was so angry that he lost his temper. He snorted coldly and started to drive someone away.

Sage Apothecary retorted proudly, “My eyes are simmering red. As for some people… someone is on the verge of seeing red!” After speaking, he nimbly avoided the foot of his senior brother, took arrogant steps, and went out, heading to his room. His disciple’s illness was no longer a problem and he could finally sleep peacefully!

Gu Ye slept until noon, and it was hunger that woke her up. Her fever has completely subsided, and she felt much lighter. Did the pond in her space also transform her physique? Otherwise, why did she feel reborn?

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Gu Ye was about to fall asleep, but she was horrified to find that her grandfather came holding a bowl with a pungent smell of medicine. My God, do I still need to drink bitter medicine? That bitter taste that invaded her extraordinary sense of taste? Wouldn’t it kill her?

”Grandpa, I’m already healed. Can I stop drinking this medicine?” Gu Ye put on a pitiful expression, not to mention an endearing look when set on her pale, pointed face. Even Old General Chu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had a tough mind, felt it unbearable despite himself.

However, Gu Xiao hardened his heart and whispered softly: “Ye’er, be good! This medicine was re-prescribed by Medical Sage, and its effect is to nourish the body. It’s not the same as yesterday’s. It’s not bitter at all.”

”Is it really not bitter?” Gu Ye didn’t believe it. Where could they possibly get a soup that was not bitter? Grandpa, you lack the expertise of a liar?

”Not bitter, it isn’t! If you don’t believe me, let me take a sip and show you!” Gu Xiao pretended to put the bowl to his lips, faked taking a big gulp, and smacked his lips to show his granddaughter.

Gu Ye was rendered speechless: Grandpa, are you coaxing a child? Your acting is too fake. If you want to deceive me, it’s going to take you decades to practice! However, in order to recover quickly and not worry her loved ones, Gu Ye still pinched her nose and drank the medicine in one go. It was so bitter that she burst into tears.

Sage Apothecary, who was holding a plate of pastries, hurriedly stuffed a piece of pea cake into his disciple’s mouth and comforted her gently, “Good disciple, this is the pea cake that the cook in the house baked. It tastes pretty yummy. Take a bite to suppress the smell of medicine.”

”Just one bite! Her stomach is delicate, so she can’t eat indiscriminately, lest she’ll hurt her spleen and stomach.” Medical Sage stopped him from giving another.

When Gu Ye heard this, she kept the pea cake in her mouth, feeling reluctant to swallow it for a long time. All right, the cook in the general’s mansion was barely qualified in baking cakes. At least it was a notch tastier than what was sold in the remote town. She also wondered whether Aunt Yan’s craftsmanship was better or worse than his.

”When you are well, you just have to say if there is anything you want to eat, and we’ll let the cook make it for you!” Seeing such an adorable girl, Old General Chu couldn’t help but think of his long-lost granddaughter. Was his granddaughter perhaps as delicate and cute as the little girl in front of him?

”Thank you, Grandpa General! Grandpa, when are we going back to Qingshan Village?” Gu Ye recalled her breakfast before their departure and missed Aunt Yan’s craftsmanship immensely. There was her brother, too. She left him at home alone. Was he perhaps imagining nonsense?

Gu Xiao didn’t answer, but looked at Medical Sage. Medical Sage shook his head slowly and said, “You should recuperate properly. Your village can’t keep up with all the conditions, and it’s not suitable for you to recover.”

”We are from Yan City and have a courtyard. I had planned to let Hua’er return to Yan City to recuperate in a few days. If Miss Gu doesn’t dislike it, you can stay in Yan City along with him. Recover before going home.” When Old General Chu said this, it was not only out of concern for Gu Ye, but also with his own selfish intentions.

If Gu Ye returns to Qingshan Village, her master will definitely follow her home to take care of her. If Chu Muhua’s injury recurs, and Sage Apothecary is not around, he will be plagued with worry!
