When the last needle was taken out, Yunbei smiled and asked Mrs. Zhang, "Auntie, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" The old lady said as she sat up, then carefully felt her body and said, "Little girl, your medical skills are quite good. I have seen many Chinese medicine practitioners, and your medical skills are definitely among the best among them."

"Auntie, you really know how to praise me."

"I'm not praising you, what I said is true. At first, I thought you were young and your medical skills were not that good. Unexpectedly, your medical skills are better than those of old doctors. No wonder my son invited you here. Not bad, not bad, next time I'm sick, I'll come to see you again."

"Auntie, I hope you won't get sick in the future."

"Haha, I hope so too. But as people get older, they will always have illnesses of one kind or another. I will have to trouble you when the time comes."

"Okay, you can find me then."

When Lao Liu saw the two people coming out of the house, he immediately asked, "Mom, how do you feel?"

"The girl's medical skills are quite good. Where did you find them? Nowadays, there are not many Chinese medicine practitioners as skilled as her. You must thank her very much."

"I understand, mother. She is Si Nanzhao's fiancée and will live in this compound in the future. If you feel uncomfortable next time, you can go to her directly, but don't go up the mountain to collect herbs by yourself. She lives not far away, in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain that has never been inhabited."

"Okay, I understand." Old Mrs. Zhang nodded, then looked at Yunbei and asked, "Little girl, what's your name? I can look for you next time."

"Auntie, my name is Yunbei."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Old Mrs. Zhang laughed, and thinking of the herbs in her yard, she couldn't help but ask, "Yunbei, are the herbs I picked before unusable?"

"It can be used, but you have to wait for me to find a few more herbs and then mix them with the ones you picked."

"Is that so? Then when are you going to collect herbs? I'll go with you. I'm very familiar with this mountain and I know exactly where the herbs are."

"Auntie, that's not necessary. I can go there by myself when the time comes. You should stay at home and have a good rest. You need more rest for your illness."

After hearing Yunbei's words, Old Liu looked at her with gratitude and continued, "Mom, did you hear that? This time it wasn't me who said that, it was the doctor who said that. If you don't listen to me, you should listen to the doctor, right?"

"Okay, okay, I get it. Who would work if they can rest? I'm not stupid." Old Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at her son, then looked at Yunbei and asked, "Yunbei, you just treated me. How much does it cost for the consultation? I'll go get it for you."

"No need, ma'am."

"How can that be?" Old Mrs. Zhang said as she tried to take money out of her pocket for Yunbei.

Seeing her actions, Yunbei immediately said, "Auntie, it really doesn't cost any money. How about this, I see you have planted a lot of vegetables in your yard, and they are growing well. I just moved here, and I don't have these things at home, so why don't you give me some vegetables."

"Hey, this vegetable is not worth much. If you want it, just come to my place and pick it. I tell you, I can't cook anything else, but I am an expert at cooking this kind of vegetable. The vegetables I grow are famous in this family compound."

As Mrs. Zhang spoke, she quickly ran to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of different vegetables and gave them to Yunbei.

Looking at the huge pile of dishes, Yunbei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, Yunbei couldn't refuse the kindness, so he accepted it.

When she returned home, Si Nanzhao saw her carrying a bunch of vegetables and asked with a smile, "Where did you get so many vegetables? We will need them for several days, right?"

"It was given to me by Section Chief Liu's wife. I have to refuse it."

Yunbei put the vegetables in the kitchen and originally planned to go up the mountain. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to wait until the afternoon.

So she put the medicine box back in the room and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

In her previous life, she was a foodie, so she liked to cook for herself, and thus she had good cooking skills. In addition, the original owner had also been cooking since she was a child, so Yunbei didn't have to worry about Si Nanzhao suspecting anything.

When Yunbei finished cooking, Si Nanzhao took a bite and praised Yunbei highly, saying to him, "Yunbei, with your cooking skills, you can be a chef in a state-owned restaurant."

"I can't do the job of a chef." Yun Bei waved her hands. She didn't want to be a cook.

After dinner, Si Nanzhao wanted to wash the dishes, and Yunbei did not refuse. Although his injury was not completely healed, it was still okay for him to do something appropriate.

Thinking about Aunt Zhang's herbs, Yunbei did not plan to rest at noon, but planned to go to the mountain to have a look. If he could pick the herbs he needed in the mountain, that would be the best.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t pick any. There are a few herbs in the medicine garden in her space and you can pick some.

As for Huang Xiaocao, she started asking about Yunbei's news after Chu Feifei left. Although she is not very popular, she is still very good at asking for news.

Soon, she found out that Si Nanzhao had brought a girl to live in the staff housing complex and told others that she was his fiancée.

Thinking of Chu Feifei's instructions, Huang Xiaocao decided to observe for a few days first.

Unexpectedly, after dinner, when she was bored and strolling outside Yunbei's yard, she saw Yunbei going up the mountain alone.

This is really like a pillow being sent to you when you feel sleepy.

Huang Xiaocao didn't expect that Yunbei would take the initiative to walk up the mountain without her doing anything. She couldn't help but feel happy and followed her quietly.

Since the last time he was kidnapped, Yunbei has become much more vigilant. Some lessons are enough to be learned once. Although most people in this era are very simple, there are also many bad people.

Therefore, she had decided long ago that it would be better to forgo some kindness.

Yunbei immediately noticed someone following him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a middle-aged woman. However, because she was not tall, she looked a bit like a child.

Yunbei didn't know Huang Xiaocao, so naturally he didn't say hello to her. Instead, he deliberately quickened his pace, wanting to try and see if the man's target was her or someone else who was climbing the mountain like her.

Huang Xiaocao had no idea that Yunbei was testing her. When she saw Yunbei quicken his pace, she also quickened her pace.

She had been in the family compound for many years and was very familiar with the back mountain. When she saw the direction Yunbei was walking, she immediately thought of an idea that could easily complete the task assigned to her by Chu Feifei.

But to achieve this goal, she must follow Yun Bei closely, or even better, walk side by side with her.

When Yun Bei saw Huang Xiaocao was chasing her, she immediately realized that this person was coming for her.

In all likelihood, he wanted to take advantage of the mountain environment to attack her.
