My god, run!!!

Five days passed in a flash. With the help of Zhou Zheng's combination of Chinese and Western medicine, Hua Rong and Yi Pao were completely cured of malaria.

The gratitude the two men felt towards their elder brother Zhou Zheng could not be described in words. After all, their lives belonged to Zhou Zheng, and they only recognized Zhou Zheng as their elder brother in this life. Even if they were asked to commit suicide, neither of them would frown.

In fact, during these months, Zhou Zheng, in addition to looting the Nationalist army's logistics warehouses wherever he went, also bought large quantities of Chinese medicinal herbs. He prepared a variety of medicinal wines, such as those for rheumatism, those to regulate qi and blood, the liver, kidneys, and internal organs, and those for external use, primarily for injuries caused by falls. He also prepared a large number of Chinese herbal powders, primarily for external use, for wounds such as knife and gunshot wounds, ulcerated skin wounds, and various sores.

Because before his time travel, Zhou Zheng's family had practiced traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) orthopedics. They were experts in treating various bone injuries, rheumatism, and various injuries and sores. Furthermore, Zhou Zheng majored in integrated Chinese and Western medicine, which combined their strengths to address the root causes. Western medicine treats symptoms, while TCM addresses the root causes. By addressing both symptoms and the root causes, many ailments can be cured.

Because the Chinese medicinal herbs of this era were all natural, unlike those in later generations which were all cultivated, Zhou Zheng bought large quantities of Chinese medicinal herbs wherever he went. Now, the Chinese medicinal herbs in Zhou Zheng's hands could be piled up to form many mountains.

Zhou Zheng had plenty of money and took out a lot of cash, and just said "sell...", which also promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the local area. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Hua Rong and Yi Pao had been eating only bland soups for the past few days, having just recovered from their illness. So Zhou Zheng took them to a restaurant for a feast. He ordered two large tables of food, which Hua Rong and Yi Pao devoured. Zhou Zheng and Zhao Hu watched helplessly from the sidelines. They ate like they hadn't eaten in decades. Their eating was truly wild.

Zhou Zheng had to order another table to calm the anger of the two men. Hahaha... Zhou Zheng laughed happily.

Being able to eat is a blessing; not being able to eat is a disease, and your health is poor. Watching others enjoy delicious food while you can't eat, and can only watch with envy, your mouth watering, is a disease that needs treatment.

So, the food for Zhou Zheng's men was incredibly good. It was like scorpion shit, the only one of its kind in the country. As Zhou Zheng said, "We can lose anything but our stomachs."

Look... Look... If any of your brothers are not convinced, call them out and see... If they are not convinced, they will be beaten to death. From then on, Zhou Zheng's brothers regarded this sentence as a sacred word. Of course, this is all later.

After eating and drinking, the four of them sat together and chatted. At this time, Hua Rong said, "Brother, shouldn't we continue on our journey? We have both been delayed for several days due to illness."

"That's right, big brother." Yipao also echoed.

"What's the point of delaying it? In my eyes, the health of both of you is more important than anything else."

Hua Rong and Yi Pao were so moved when they heard their elder brother say this. You know, they were both suffering from malaria this time! If they hadn't met their elder brother Zhou Zheng, they might have gone to the underworld.

"Alright...alright...we're all brothers, so calm down. You're grown up now, and we need to see what you two look like."

"Hahaha..." Hua Rong and Yipao burst into laughter instantly.

Zhao Hu looked at all this and felt warm in his heart, and suddenly made a decision.

"Zhou Zheng!"

"What's wrong, Zhao Hu?"

"I've decided to follow you from now on!"

"What?" Hua Rong and Yipao were instantly surprised.

Then there was a burst of laughter, "Hahaha...", and then two people came over and patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "You made the most wise and heroic decision in your life."

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhao Hu quietly. Obviously, he was not surprised by Zhao Hu's decision, and it was also within his expectations.

"Have you...really decided?"

"It's really decided!"

"Don't you regret it? Are you still going to go to the Shanxi Jinsui Army to look for your classmates?"

"I don't regret it, and I won't go to Shanxi Jinsui Army to look for my classmates. Now it seems that there is no point in really going there."

"For the past few months, I've followed you, killing bandits and bullies who commit murder, arson, and robbery, and killing the Kuomintang who bully men and women. I've punished evil and promoted good along the way, and I've also helped those poor people who have no one to rely on and are starving to death."

"I feel so happy inside! This kind of free and unrestrained life is really peaceful!"

"I'm afraid that if I go back to my old life, I won't be able to adapt. What should I do if I can't stand those people? Kill them? That's impossible. The constraints are too strong. It's better to just let it go now."

"Besides, you are extraordinary and have a promising future. I believe I will have a bright future if I follow you."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Zheng laughed.

"Tiger... welcome aboard."

"Welcome aboard, Huzi..."

"Tiger..."

I instantly remembered the happy laughter of the four people.
