The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

The second (Sunday) breakfast was millet porridge and pickled vegetables.

Li Ruozhuo drank two bowls of porridge and pickled vegetables but didn't touch them.

Chan frowned as she cleared the dishes: "Why are you starting to be picky, sis?"

However, she didn't delve into it because her sister's mental instability meant that any behavior she did was normal.

The housekeeper's wife had also finished eating and called to Chan in the courtyard: "I'm busy with the autumn harvest, so I have to go over there. You stay home and take care of my sister. If you make her crawl into the stove pit and come back, I'll skin you alive."

All the land in Zhuangzi belongs to Jimen.

The housekeeper and his wife were quite busy at certain times, communicating with the tenants and the head steward who came up.

Chan hurriedly replied, "This servant understands."

As the housekeeper left, Li Ruozhuo grabbed Chan's hand and said, "Let's go."

Where to go?

Early in the morning.

Chan scratched her head, looking at Li Ruozhuo in confusion: "Sister, why haven't you moved for the past two days?" After thinking for a moment, she said: "I know that when the housekeeper is not around, you can go to her room to find something to eat."

Li Ruozhuo thought to herself that Sister Wei probably had never done anything before.

She shook her head and said, "Let's go up the mountain."

"Up the mountain?"

Chan's surprised expression vanished as she thought about it: "You're looking for pine nuts to eat?"

Qingyun Mountain is a place of outstanding people and abundant natural resources.

Such terrain will have many medicinal herbs.

Li Ruozhuo was anxious about her elder brother's whereabouts, but in reality, even if she used her true energy, she would be discovered by a silly maid. Even though she was a tenth-level healer, she couldn't go far.

Find herbs to restore your body.

She stuck out her tongue and nodded: "Eat, eat."

Eating only bland, oily food is not good for a growing child, even though she is often hungry.

No wonder my sister is always thinking about food; she's mentally challenged and can't think of anything else.

Chan, with a greedy look on her face, quietly instructed Li Ruozhuo, "When we go out, we can come back, but you can't get your clothes dirty and you can't let the housekeeper know."

Li Ruozhuo nodded: "She doesn't know, she doesn't know."

Zhuangzi was built against the mountain, hidden between two spurs of Qingyun Mountain, surrounded by mountains.

Their yard was also on high ground to the north.

If you go to the East Mountain, South Mountain, and West Mountain, you won't run into anyone.

Chan said to Li Ruozhuo, "North Mountain is high and dangerous, but we can still catch wild rabbits there. Sister, shall we go to North Mountain?"

Li Ruozhuo, who moved slowly, happily picked up a basket from beside the fence and handed it to Chan; "Carry me on your back."

Chan said, "We don't need one, do we? We have a cloth bag, that's enough and we can even carry things around."

Li Ruozhuo, holding up a basket, said, "Carry me on your back."

Chan: "..."

Li Ruozhuo's mental disability also affected her development. At thirteen years old, she looked only about ten years old. Ke Chan was not very strong either. She tried twice but still couldn't carry her sister on her back.

Chan looked at Li Ruozhuo with some apology.

Li Ruozhuo still let her carry the basket and then took her hand, saying, "Let's go."

A child's sweet and gentle voice can soften a person's heart.

Chan thought for a moment and smiled, "It's just a matter of taking a little longer, we can walk slowly."

Li Ruozhuo nodded.

It would take Chanzi about half an hour to walk from the village to the foot of the mountain.

"But we've finally arrived." Chan patted her forehead and looked around, but there was no one there.

She turned around and pointed to the path leading up the mountain: "It's just one path, so you'd better be careful, sister."

Li Ruozhuo asked Chan to take the basket off her back and then carried it on his own back.

Chan was very surprised: "Sister, you should give it to me. You have a hard time climbing the mountain by yourself, how can you carry a basket?"

Li Ruozhuo put his hands on Chan's shoulders from behind: "I'll carry the basket."

The next thing I'm saying is that Chan has already moved her back.

It means she carried both the basket and her sister on her back.

Chan didn't mean to not carry her sister; she really couldn't carry her.

However, since her sister insisted, she couldn't bear to refuse. She squatted down in a horse stance and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let's try again."

While Chan wasn't paying attention, Li Ruozhuo secretly exerted force by holding Chan's left hand. A peony flower the size of a cardamom bud suddenly appeared between her eyebrows, shimmering with a dark, silvery light under the mirror, lifelike.

Chan felt a warmth throughout her body, as if a surge of energy had been generated within her.

She turned to her sister and asked, "Sister, did you see a flash of light just now?"

At that time, Li Ruozhuo had already mastered the Hunyuan Gong.

Hunyuan Gong is a martial arts manual that Li Ruozhuo found hidden in his home. It is a superior martial art for cultivating true essence, which can transmit the power of true essence to others and also absorb true essence from others.

True essence is a root meridian that all martial artists are born with, located between the eyebrows.

The way to distinguish between a martial arts master and an ordinary person is through true energy.

In the State of Qi, those who possess true essence are considered superior to men and women.

Some people believe that only descendants of the ancient Tushan clan possess true essence, meaning it's not something just anyone can have.

Chan clearly has no root meridians.

However, when true energy is transmitted to an ordinary person, it can still greatly increase their physical strength.

Li Ruozhuo knew perfectly well that Chan's light was her true essence, yet she still pretended to be knowledgeable and pointed to the sky, saying, "Light."

Chan frowned: "Maybe I'm seeing things. Come on up and try again." She squatted down again, gesturing for Li Ruozhuo to climb on top of her.

Li Ruozhu hooked her neck and hopped up on her legs.

Chan, dragging her bottom, straightened up and chuckled, "It's not that heavy! Why couldn't you carry me just now? You could be a little fatter, sister."

Li Ruozhu thought to herself with disdain as the maid patted her back and said, "Da Ma, let's go."

Chan didn't know why she could "walk as fast as lightning" when she ate something for breakfast.

She carried her sister halfway up the mountain for another half hour, then found an open space by the roadside to put her down: "There's no need to climb any higher. The higher you go, the balder the mountain becomes, with cliffs and steep walls. There's a pine forest with pine cones in the middle."

Li Ruozhuo looked around and saw that there was no path leading uphill; he could only climb the rocks. Below was a valley, and beyond that, green waves stretched endlessly into the distance, without a single blemish, giving him a sense of openness and tranquility.

Zhuangzi has long since disappeared; it truly is a place for seclusion and spiritual cultivation.

Li Ruozhuo was nagging the rabbit.

Chan listened intently but heard nothing.

She told Li Ruozhu a story and then pointed to a tree stump: "There's a tree stump right in the middle, sister. If you just guard it, a rabbit will run into it."

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She looked up and asked Chan, "And you?"

Chan smiled mysteriously and patted her waist: "I'll go pick some pine nuts for you."

Chan pushed aside the thorns and found another path that led to the pine forest.

Without knowing kung fu, Li Ruozhuo could no longer see her.

正。

She was carrying a basket on her back

Pick up a pointed twig from the ground and start digging for herbs.

Qingyun Mountain is truly a place where there are probably no doctors or pharmacists, so herbs like Coptis chinensis, which grow in cold, shady places, are robust and intact.

Coptis chinensis is a common herb used for detoxification and is indispensable for clearing heat and relieving wind-heat.

Li Ruozhuo dug for a long time but found no other common medicines.

She had long forgotten about Chan.

I don't know where I am, but it's getting darker and darker. When I look up, I see a cliff face sticking out and blocking the light.

Li Ruozhuo felt like he was seeing an "old friend." Sure enough, a round-leaved licorice plant was growing on the cliff.

Licorice root is very beneficial to her as it replenishes her vital energy and strengthens her spleen.

Moreover, it's quite a coincidence that licorice grows in arid desert areas and can be found on a mountain.

Unfortunately, the cliff was five people high and located in a shady spot, covered with moss, making it both steep and slippery.

Li Ruozhu thought for a moment, then put down the basket, tucked the tree branch into his waistband, spat on each hand, and rubbed them together, saying, "Success!" He then focused his energy in his dantian, used his true qi, and used his toes to grab a protruding rock on the cliff.

Right on target.

The licorice was within her reach.

Suddenly...

"There seem to be no graves near our lord."

"If there's no grave, is there a dead person?"

No one died.

"If the resurrection thunder sounds nearby, it means someone might be resurrected. If they are resurrected, we can use the corpse to find out who it is..."

It was the voice of two unfamiliar men. One of them had a smooth, melodious voice, like the tinkling of a spring, but his words made Li Ruozhu tremble. Now that her true energy was weak, any martial arts master could easily knock her back to her original form.

But their target is clearly the Resurrection Thunder... Are they enemies or friends?

The way to
