C9 Her Medicine be Very Bitter

Xiangling closed the door and went to find her. After walking a few steps, she saw a shadow flash past the kitchen and focused. It was Muzhao, she did not know what was busy in the kitchen, so she sighed and quickly walked over.

"Miss, you scared me to death. I thought it was my dad coming back."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I was just having a stomachache, so I used your kitchen to boil some hot water to take the antidiarrhea medicine."

Muzhao scratched her head. She was shocked, she did not want to do this, she was really forced. After eating something, her stomach rumbled non-stop, and when she first entered the toilet, she thought that she would be able to solve the problem quickly.

After going in and out a few times, her legs and stomach were still uncomfortable from the cramp. Without a thought, she could only use the powder on her body to make herself a strong stop before going out of the toilet.

But all of her medicines had a special characteristic, which was that everything that was added with a special effect would cause them to panic. Or else, Muzhao who had just come out of the toilet would definitely have a special characteristic.

When there was no water and the smell was unique, Muzhao swallowed the medicine forcefully. After exiting the door, she immediately went to the kitchen to find water.

"Miss, that's not what I meant."

Xiangling also scratched her head. Young miss was willing to use their family's belongings, she was not happy yet, how could she blame him?

"Alright, alright, we should get back to business. Is your mother awake?"

Muzhao patted her sleeves. She had Xiangling help her find some soap and water to wash her hands before following Xiangling to visit the Xiangling mother.

When he entered the house, Soongyanqing was researching on his blade. When he saw her enter, he couldn't help but turn his head and laugh.

"Where did you go?" Just a moment ago, Xiangling was looking for you everywhere. "

"I didn't go anywhere. I just went to the kitchen and got some water to drink."

The Muzhao did not pay any more attention to him and followed him to the inner room. After all, the patient was still waiting for him.

If he had to rest and react, it would not be good for him to come and talk to them again. Muzhao felt bad for the money so he quickly went in to take a look.

Xiangling helped Leefuren up and sat on her bed before he took out a cloth bag and placed it under her right hand. After doing all of this, he asked Muzhao to take a look at her pulse.

"Before, did I feel restless and unable to fall asleep? Even if I fell asleep, it would only be a little bit, and I would wake up soon?"

The Muzhao quietly checked her pulse, then made her open her mouth to look at her tongue. She guessed that she was worried about the Xiangling, and thus acted like this.

She then got Leefuren to take off her clothes and check her body's condition, but found that she was a bit resistant to it. She wasn't very cooperative so she turned her gaze towards Xiangling.

"Mother, don't be afraid. Miss wants to see your injuries. Once they heal, you won't feel any more pain."

Xiangling reacted in time after receiving Muzhao's help. He immediately comforted her mother and because he trusted his daughter, Leefuren put down his guard and obediently took off his clothes.

Muzhao laid her clothes gently to the side and carefully examined the whip wounds on her body. It was probably because of the urgent situation at that time, so he did not put up any defenses and only used his own flesh and blood to protect his daughter.

From the shoulder blades onwards, a few purplish-red whip scars appeared in front of Muzhao. Because the hands of the whip wielder were very strong, his entire back was swollen, with numerous scars.

Previously, when Leefuren was wearing an extra long robe, she did not look too different from the others. Muzhao had thought her body was round, but now that he saw the wounds on her body, he could not hold back his sobs.

"Mother, I'm so sorry. If it wasn't for protecting me back then, you wouldn't have been beaten to such a state."

Xiangling half kneeled on the ground as she cried loudly on Leefuren's legs. Previously, her mother had always been hiding it from her, not letting her know, and only told her that she had only received a few light injuries and was fine. She believed it, but she did not expect her mother to be so injured.

"It's fine, Xiangling. Mother is fine, don't be sad."

Leefuren helped Xiangling up, then carefully wiped her tears. In her heart, it was fine as long as her daughter was fine.

"Alright, Xiangling, don't be sad. Go and heat up some hot water first, I'll help Leefuren clean his wounds and then apply some medicine. It'll be alright before long."

Muzhao was also watching with tears in her eyes, but she still remembered that her mission was to treat other people's illnesses, not to watch a play, so she got Xiangling to boil some hot water.

"Madam, please wait for me to scrub and apply the medicine. It might be a little painful, so please bear with it. You can call me if my hand is too heavy."

While waiting for the water to boil and still have some time to boil, Muzhao threw Leefuren's clothes back and chatted with her for a while to let her relax.

"Your daughter is rather beautiful, and also very obedient and sensible. You are truly blessed."

"Yes, Xiangling has always been an obedient child. When we were young, her father would often not be home, and only the two of us would live together. Sometimes, when there's too much work to do, she would help me do it."

Leefuren said to Muzhao with a smile, her eyes showing her love, as if she was recalling past events, she chuckled, "Probably when she was six or seven years old, I was working in the fields, because there were too many things to do, when I got busy, I forgot the time, and forgot to come back and cook for her.

"That's so sensible. When I was six or seven years old, I didn't know anything. All I knew was that I played with my friends every day."

Muzhao could not help but feel sorry for Xiangling in her heart. She was so sensible at such a young age, if she was in the modern world, a child like her would probably still be studying happily in school with her friends.

When she talked about how sad Leefuren was, she couldn't help but blush again, "Who says that's not right. Usually, when my family's young lady is held in my hands by my parents, she's afraid of being thrown away, she's afraid of dying. Only my family's young lady is loathed by my father, and she has always been disliked."

Muzhao didn't understand much about the things between them, it was just that she had heard those peddlers gossip about it before, so she didn't say anything more. She only consoled Leefuren to stop her wild thoughts, which was detrimental to her health.

"Alright, Muxiaojie, I will listen to you."

The Leefuren wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief and revealed a bitter smile, "I heard from Xiangling that it was all thanks to you that I was able to save her from being sold in that place. I must thank you all for this."

"Madam, there is no need to be so polite. The children of the martial arts world should help others to make them happy. It is only right."

Muzhao waved her hand, gave her a few instructions, and then went out of the house.

She opened the curtain and saw that Soongyanqing was no longer in the house, she raised her eyes and saw that they were busy taking care of the flowers and grass in the courtyard.

Flowers, plants, trees, trees, not only used some famous species, but also some simple flowers, plants, bamboo, turtles, orchids, and so on. There was even a lot of mint growing in an open area, Muzhao had gone to pick some leaves and was playing with them in his hands.

"Miss, the water is ready."

Xiangling came out of the kitchen with a bowl of water and called her to follow him. Muzhao replied and followed behind her.

"There are quite a few flowers and plants planted in your house."

"Yes, mother loved flowers, so they were usually planted a little."

Xiangling was at the front and lifted the curtain for her. After she went in, she put the curtain down and placed the water on the table.

Muzhao took the handkerchief and added some medicinal powder into the hot water. He then placed the handkerchief inside, soaked it for a while, wrung it dry and started to gently wipe Leefuren's body.

The medicine was extremely bitter, and in order to let Leefuren recover faster, Muzhao had added some ingredients that he had specially made himself. Once they were placed in the room, the entire room was filled with the strong smell of medicine, and Muzhao was already used to smelling it so he didn't feel anything.

"Don't just look at the smell of the medicine, the effect is quite good. You'll know when we try it out."

The Muzhao didn't explain too much to them. Taking advantage of the heat from the water, he hurriedly scrubbed up Leefuren's wounds.

Her movements were nimble, after all, she was a professional, the Xiangling did not even have time to help her.

After cleaning the wound, it no longer looked as sinister as before. Muzhao took out a small jar that contained the antiphlogistic ointment she made.

She told Xiangling to find a clean piece of cloth and gave the ointment to Leefuren to apply. Then, she slowly wrapped the ointment with a piece of cloth.

When they were all done, Muzhao felt that she could not even lift up her arms anymore. She shook her sore arms, put the remaining ointment back into the bag.

"Alright, next, I'll change the medicine every other day. After I pass Bahnyue, I should be more or less well."

Muzhao clapped his hands and tidied up his clothes that were messed up after helping Leefuren apply the medicine. If Leefuren was in a state of sleep recently, he could recuperate and recover faster from his wounds with the whip.

"Thank you, young lady. You're such a good person."

Xiangling supported Leefuren and thanked her together. She also said that she wanted to personally thank Soongyanqing outside her room, but since her body was injured, Muzhao told her not to overdo it.

By the time he was done with all this, it was already late in the morning. The last rays of the setting sun were shining down on the green plants, and the colors of yellow and green were especially beautiful.

Soongyanqing reached out his hand to grab hold of the afterglow, then gently let go of it. The sunlight reflected off his blade incessantly, and finally stopped on a wall not far away, shining brightly like a crescent moon.

"Madam, I will help you change your medicine the day after tomorrow. You should rest first, we'll be leaving now."

Muzhao looked outside. It was getting late and she had to go home. She had been to the toilet a few times before, and her stomach was already hungry. She wanted to go home and cook.
