"Keng!"

Chen Sanshi let out a long breath and put down the spear in his hand.

Another night of looking out, and the east begins to lighten with the pale dawn.

He stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance.

These ten days passed peacefully.

Not a single person was seen on the grassland.

He actually hoped that a small group of cavalry would attack, so that he could hone his marksmanship in actual combat and help absorb the energy of the spirit grain.

But these things can't be forced.

Fortunately, after such a long period of working myself to the bone, my medical skills are almost up to par, so taking more tonics won't hurt.

Mao Shi.

Feng Baihu arrived on time to relieve the garrison.

Chen Sanshi rode his white swan horse back to camp with his soldiers.

Lately, I've been riding horses back and forth a lot, and feeding them myself has also improved my proficiency. My horsemanship skills are about to reach the next level.

[Skill: Horse Riding (Beginner)]

Progress: (150/200)

I'm just curious, since horses are primarily a means of transportation, how much more advanced can they be?

Back at the military camp, Chen Sanshi went straight to the pharmacy, only to find a familiar figure at the entrance of the camp.

Wang Zhi has returned from visiting relatives in the prefectural city.

"Stone."

Wang grinned, showing his teeth, and leaned closer: "How have you been lately? I mean, which of the sentries came?"

"The young master and daughter of the Grand Marshal."

Chen Sanshi jumped off his horse: "By the way, Miss Sun was looking for you."

"them……"

Wang Zhi tentatively asked, "What did they say?"

"Ms. Sun says she doesn't know you. Commander Wang, you've changed your name, haven't you?"

Chen Sanshi said, "You asked me to plead for you, but you have to tell me what you did in the past, right?"

"I……"

Wang Zhi looked troubled and said with a wry smile, "Shi Tou, I've suddenly changed my mind. You don't need to speak up for me anymore. In the future, when you see Supervisor Sun, don't mention me. Just say that you picked up the martial arts manual on the street."

After saying that, he fled as if he were running away.

"?"

Chen Sanshi found it all very strange.

Are you so afraid of Sun Li and her brother?

If Wang Zhi really had committed a serious crime, how could he still be alive today?

unreasonable.

Unable to figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and went straight to the pharmacy.

"Commander Chen really doesn't rest at all."

Physician Jiang found it frightening.

This young man isn't afraid of working himself to death.

"I dare not rest."

Chen Sanshi was already quite skilled at it, and he helped sort the medicinal herbs and then added water to boil the medicine for the military officers.

In addition, he has a photographic memory.

He memorized the efficacy and pharmacology of every medicinal herb that appeared in the pharmacy, and he firmly remembered the formulas and secrets of every tonic medicine that the pharmacy had prepared.

at last.

The panel surged.

[Skill: Medicine. Basic (Entry-level)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effects: Proficient in medical theory, able to identify prescriptions upon seeing medicines]

[Understanding Prescriptions by Seeing Medicines: Deciphering Prescriptions from the Sight of Ordinary Medicines]

Cracking the recipe?

That's quite a skill.

It just seems like we don't need it for the time being.

At least within Poyang County, there's no such thing as a special formula.

Many pharmacies pre-mix the medicine in pre-portioned doses, which you can then take home and boil with water.

But since martial arts manuals are often kept secret, truly advanced medicinal formulas must also be kept as family heirlooms.

Therefore, not needing it now doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future.

It's all just a sample matter.

At this moment, Chen Sanshi looked at the earthenware pots on the stove, which were no longer just filled with black liquid, but contained detailed recipes.

He knew exactly how much each medicinal herb cost, how many years old it needed, and whether it was fresh or dried.

Just in time, the silver my senior sister gave me was almost used up.

Practicing martial arts is a bottomless pit.

The best long-term solution is to obtain the medicinal herbs and prepare the medicine yourself.

"call……"

After traveling back and forth for ten consecutive days, it's impossible not to be tired.

Having finally achieved this milestone, Chen Sanshi breathed a long sigh of relief and rode his white swan horse home.

I pushed open the door, but there was no one there.

He guessed she was doing needlework in her bedroom.

really.

Moreover, Sun Li was also in the bedroom.

She had heard the commotion beforehand and had already packed everything away: "Junior brother, why didn't you say anything before you came in?"

Chen Sanshi said, "Senior Sister Sun, please forgive me, I didn't know you were here too."

"Ah."

Sun Li suddenly realized that this was someone else's house: "Junior Brother has been working very hard lately, so I won't disturb your rest."

She picked up the knife from the table, bowed, and left.

"Brother Shi, look at you, you're covered in dust and dirt."

Gu Xinlan tidied up her needlework tools: "Let me go get you something to eat first."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi asked curiously, "What are you two embroidering?"

He opened the storage box and found handkerchiefs, embroidered shoes, purses, and other items inside.

There are also several obvious loose threads and distorted patterns.

"Li-mei is actually a pitiful person too."

Gu Xinlan said slowly, "I heard her say that she didn't actually like martial arts, but since she had no older brother and wanted to share her father's burdens, she had no choice but to pick up a knife."

"Is it."

Chen Sanshi is different.

Although practicing martial arts is tiring, he genuinely enjoys the feeling of improving himself.

He opened his arms and asked Lan Jie'er to help him remove his armor.

Then, without even taking off her inner lining, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I slept soundly until dawn the next day.

After finishing his business at the military camp in the morning, Chen Sanshi went to his old house in Yanbian Village, gathered all the spoils of war together, and then carried them up the mountain again.

Even if you cover the chimney, the smell of medicine will still travel far when you brew it at home, so that's definitely not good.

We still need to find a secluded place.

Fortunately, Tiger Head Mountain is vast and boundless, with many remote and desolate areas.

Chen Sanshi quickly found a deep cave on a cliff face in a desolate mountain.

The surrounding area is mostly rocky and barren, with virtually no prey or vegetation, so people rarely come here. Moreover, the cave is located halfway up a cliff, making it quite secluded.

After confirming that everything was in order, he began to organize his things.

"These medicinal herbs, if added together, would be worth at least several thousand taels of silver!"

"In addition to most of the ingredients for blood-nourishing soup and vital energy-nourishing soup, there are also many ingredients for bone-nourishing soup and medicinal bath."

"Enough for me to use for a month!"

"It doesn't matter if we run out of supplies, we can just sneakily borrow some more from the men's houses later!"

"Anyway, I won't be struggling to make money on my own anymore."

"Unfortunately, the blood-nourishing soup and the vital energy-nourishing soup are not very effective for me now. I'll wait for the right opportunity to use them."

Chen Sanshi set up his stall and began preparing the medicinal herbs.

They prepared ten doses each of the bone-nourishing soup and the medicinal bath, and then began their cultivation in the cave.

They didn't go down the mountain until it was getting late, and they also caught some goats and pigeons to take home for dinner.

"what sound?"

Chen Sanshi could hear noises and fighting coming from the military village from a great distance.

And it's quite familiar.

"Wang Zhi and Sun Buqi?!"

He hurriedly dropped his prey in front of his house and rushed over to check the situation.

In front of a courtyard, Sun Buqi stood with a spear in his hand, blocking the gate and preventing the fat, armored officer in front of him from entering.

He was usually lazy and relaxed, but now his eyes were fierce, his anger burning, and even his voice trembled: "You, Tang Ruoshan! I thought you were dead! Turns out you're hiding here, clinging to life!"
