Strictly speaking, outsiders would be shocked and confused to hear that someone was taking medicine prescribed by a ten-year-old girl.

But Zhang Dali and Zhang Hexuan thought there was no problem. As long as the medicine didn't kill him, they would give it a try. Anyway, Zhang Hexuan had been taking so many medicines prescribed by so many doctors for many years, but his health didn't improve. So they decided to just give it a try.

With the thought of "what if, what if my disciple/my sister Shen'er" is gifted and can really cure the disease, after all, Shen'er can diagnose signs of poisoning in Zhang Hexuan by diagnosing his pulse.

Neither Zhang Dali nor Zhang Hexuan had told her this!

Without any formal training, Nie Shen'er was able to learn the art of taking a pulse on her own, which shows that she has a great talent in medicine. Zhang Dali even thought about introducing a doctor to Nie Shen'er so that she could learn from him. Such a good talent should not be wasted.

It would be even better if he could learn well and then come back to treat his good nephew.

Neither the uncle nor the nephew had high expectations for Nie Shen'er's prescription.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Hexuan took the medicine for a few days, his complexion improved visibly. His face, which had always been sickly pale and could only be improved with makeup, actually became a little rosy.

Moreover, the cough that had troubled Zhang Hexuan for many years had also improved a lot. He used to cough from time to time, but today, Zhang Hexuan did not cough very often, and the frequency was much less.

Zhang Dali noticed the change in his nephew. At noon, when Aunt Tan was making pancakes for the host family, Zhang Dali ate the sweet pancakes made with sugarcane juice while squinting at his nephew. After a while, he said in surprise:

"Hexuan, you look much better."

"Really?" Zhang Hexuan just glanced at the mirror casually after washing up in the morning. He found that the corners of his eyes were clean, so he didn't care. Moreover, the mirror was a bronze mirror, and it was difficult to see his face clearly. After his uncle said this, Zhang Hexuan also sensed something and said:

"I don't seem to cough as much anymore, and my breathing is much easier."

"Wow, it seems that the prescription given to you by your good disciple is effective." Zhang Dali bit the last piece of cake in his hand and chewed it, clapping his hands and marveling at it.

He would not think that his nephew's better complexion was due to the effectiveness of the medicine prescribed by the doctor he hired.

My nephew stopped taking the medicine prescribed by Shen'er for five days before starting to take Shen'er's medicine. So judging from the effect, Shen'er's medicine must be effective.

"Shen'er is so talented, it's amazing." Zhang Hexuan's first reaction was not to be happy that his illness had improved, but to be excited about Nie Shen'er's talent. He praised her with pride, which attracted Aunt Qin's attention.

Zhang Dali laughed heartily, patted his nephew's shoulder gently, and said, "Let's go find Shen'er to take his pulse again today and see how things are going!"

Zhang Hexuan naturally agreed.

Nie Shen'er also went outside the city with her parents today to dig herbs and sell them for money. Medicinal materials are still scarce here because few people would collect herbs to sell to pharmacies. Most of the herbs are brought in by merchants from outside to sell. The herbs sold by Nie Shen'er are unique, so the price is negotiable. Moreover, the herbs she collected are very beautiful and rarely damaged, so the pharmacies like to buy them more.

Nie Shen'er was out for the whole day, and only hurried back into the city in the evening when the city gate was about to close.

Nie Feng was not focusing on his job. He even shot a fat, white rabbit with an arrow while collecting herbs. Nie Shen'er spotted a ginseng plant, which was estimated to be fifty years old. It was a tonic and could definitely be sold for a good price.

Today was a good harvest day, and Nie Shen'er was in a very good mood. Even though she was in a rather messy state after going into the deep mountains, and her body smelled sour and smelly, it did not affect her good mood.

She hummed a tuneless but pleasant little song as she followed her parents, slowly walking towards home with the setting sun behind them, feeling very relaxed.

Zhang Hexuan was squatting at the door of Nie Shen'er's house. When he saw someone coming from afar, he immediately stood up and took a few steps to greet him. His eyes were a little tired, but he was in a good mood. Seeing Shen'er's condition, he knew that Shen'er must have had a good harvest today, and he was sincerely happy for Shen'er.

"Shen'er, you're home." Zhang Hexuan has grown a lot, but because he is not in the best age to grow taller, he is only half a head taller than Shen'er. After all, the age difference between the two is not that big.

Shen'er has eaten well and slept well in recent years, so naturally he will grow faster than the original owner.

Hearing this, Nie Shen'er smiled and stretched out her hand. There was still a little mud on her hand. She pinched Zhang Hexuan's delicate face without any concern. "How long have you been waiting here?"

The boy's delicate face was a little covered with mud, but it had a wild and cute look.

Nie Shen'er has always adhered to the rough method of raising children and does not care about these unimportant hygiene issues.

Zhang Hexuan didn't care. He really enjoyed the physical contact with Nie Shen'er, even though he would blush and feel shy every time. He stepped back slightly and said, "Shen'er, wash up first. Aunt Qin has heated up some water for you."

Zhang Hexuan understood Nie Shen'er's habits. She would definitely wash up after coming back from a day out, so he would always estimate the time and ask Aunt Qin to help boil water for Shen'er.

This saves Shen'er from having to burn firewood himself.

Nie Shen'er's eyes flashed. Zhang Hexuan always took care of her. She was lucky to have such a good friend. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Hexuan, you are so kind."

Zhang Hexuan smiled and his face turned even redder.

"Come and have dinner with us tonight, Hexuan." Nie Feng watched Zhang Hexuan and Shen'er interact calmly, and when they were almost done chatting, he interrupted, "We have fried rabbit meat for dinner today."

Taking into account Zhang Hexuan's health problems, Pinghua added: "Let's fry half of it and stew the other half."

Nie Feng nodded, "It's all right!"

After saying that, Nie Feng and Pinghua went into the kitchen. Pinghua was busy cooking while Nie Feng went to clean up the rabbit, bleed it and kill it. The rabbit hair was left to be used to pad the chicken coop. Good things should not be wasted.

Nie Shen'er put down the backpack, which was filled with a lot of herbs picked today. It was not difficult for her to carry it with her physical strength, but she was inevitably tired after walking such a long distance, so she sat down to rest for a while.

Then she went to get clean clothes. When she came out, there was already a bucket of clean hot water in the yard. It was Zhang Dali who helped her bring it over. Zhang Dali seemed careless, but he was actually very meticulous. Knowing that Shen'er was embarrassed to wash there, he always helped to bring it over.

After Shen'er washed up, her hair was wet and her long eyelashes were stained with a lot of moisture. She wiped her hair with a velvet loop and walked out slowly.

At this time, the setting sun shines yellow and orange on the earth.

Zhang Hexuan sat on the long bench in the courtyard, waiting obediently for Shen'er to finish cleaning up. The warm orange sunlight turned his hair into a soft and beautiful color, making him look as if he was coated with a layer of light.

"You seem to have something to say to me." Nie Shen'er's hair was thick, black, and very smooth, but it took a lot of effort to take care of it. She sat opposite Zhang Hexuan, tilted her head to wipe her hair, and looked at him with a puzzled look:

"You look much better these past two days. I think the medicine is working. Wait a moment and I'll take your pulse."
