The old woman glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't meddle in the affairs of your elders, little kid!"
"Take the ointment and heal your face first!"
But Shen Ming did not reach out to take the bottle of ointment.
He lowered his eyes: "Aunt, no need."
"After so many years, I have become accustomed to my current facial appearance and don't want to get treatment."
He is only alive now, so what does it matter what he looks like?
Besides, that intact face should be clean and pure.
And he had already rotted in the mud.
He doesn't deserve...
But the old woman's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Do you think I developed this ointment too late?"
"When I first picked you up ten years ago, you were so eager to have your face healed..."
The old woman's eyes were wet: "Now, I have spent ten years to finally make the ointment, but you don't need it anymore..."
As he spoke, he began to choke up.
Shen Ming was suddenly at a loss: "Aunt, you know that's not what I meant, I just..."
The old woman was completely unmoved and actually held up the ointment: "I developed this ointment just for you. Since you don't need it anymore, why not destroy it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the ointment hard to the ground.
Shen Ming dodged in a hurry and took the ointment steadily in his hand.
His eyes were filled with helplessness: "Isn't it okay for me to accept it?"
"That's more like it!" The old woman raised her head proudly.
Where is the sadness in his eyes?
It's clearly a smile of success!
Shen Ming:......
After receiving the ointment, Shen Ming chatted with the old woman for a while and stayed for a meal. He didn't get up to say goodbye until the red sun was lying on the hillside.
Before leaving, the old woman personally escorted him out the door and forced a large bag on him.
He then gave a detailed instruction: "There are all kinds of pills in here, including poisons and antidotes. The instructions are written on the bottles, so take them with you, you never know when you might need them."
Shen Ming's face showed a strange expression: "I will come to see you every month. You don't have to prepare so many medicines for me. If I have any problems, I will come to you..."
The old woman's face turned serious. "What if I'm not here? What if you can't find me?"
"Put your bag in good condition!"
Shen Ming was stunned: "You're not here? Where are you going?"
The old woman looked a little uncomfortable and turned away: "I'm talking about just in case. What if something happens and I have to leave the valley? It's always good to have these medicines ready."
Seeing that the man seemed to be about to ask something again, she put her hands on her hips and glared at him: "Little kid, don't think that you can control me just because you grow up and become the prime minister!"
Shen Ming: "...I'm worried about you."
"I am the famous Madam Wen Xiang. If I run into a bad guy, he will be the one who suffers!"
"Is it necessary for you to worry?"
Shen Ming bowed and apologized: "Yes, yes, you are the best."
After leaving Green Shade Valley, Shen Ming summoned his trusted aides: "Pick ten skilled guards to secretly protect Madam Wen Xiang!"
After settling everything, he should have rested, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so I simply put on my clothes and sat up.
"Somebody come!"
A guard pushed the door open and walked in: "Sir!"
"Ask Cheng Su to come see me!"
"Yes!"
A moment later, Cheng Su hurried over, bringing in a gust of night wind: "Sir, what do you want to see me about?"
Looking at the armor Cheng Su was wearing, Shen Ming frowned: "It's so late, what are you still busy with?"
Cheng Su's voice was filled with excitement. "Sir, we just received news that the North Vietnamese commander has gone missing. Our men are planning a surprise attack tonight, which will surely inflict a heavy blow to the North Vietnamese!"
"What did you say? Who's missing?"
The man who was originally sitting on the bed suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Su like lightning, with one hand pressing tightly on Cheng Su's shoulder.
Cheng Su suddenly felt a pain, and when he realized what was happening, he hurriedly shouted, "Sir, sir, please let go! My shoulder is about to break!"
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his strength remained undiminished: "Tell me, who is missing?"
Cheng Su's face was pale, and he spoke with difficulty: "It's...it's the North Vietnamese commander, Shen Nanxing."
Before he could finish his words, his eyes flashed again, the force on his shoulders was removed, he felt weak all over, and sat down on the ground.
"What...what happened?"
But there was no one in the room.
Only the open door was blowing cold air into the house.
