Not long after Ye Zhaoyu left, someone brought a letter to Ling Yunjue. "Boss, this is a letter Huo Jian'an wrote to his sister-in-law."

"Okay, I'll give it to her. Thank you for your help." Ling Yunjue accepted the letter and expressed her gratitude.

After everyone left, Ling Yunjue wanted to open the letter.

They're already divorced, why are they still writing letters? Do they want to maintain a lingering connection or remarry?

Or maybe he could take a look and see what Huo Jianan wrote. They're husband and wife; it shouldn't be a problem if he sees it!

Ling Yunjue hesitated, afraid that Ye Zhaoyu would be angry, and also afraid that Ye Zhaoyu would agree to remarry Huo Jian'an.

Sigh, I wish their marriage was real.

How can I make a divorce certificate real?

Forget it, let's get this sorted out quickly so we can get into the mountains to find Ye Zhaoyu sooner.

Ling Yunjue secretly hid the letter in a book that Ye Zhaoyu had read.

Hmm, he forgot where he put it.

That's right, I forgot.

Ling Yunjue put the letter away and went out to attend to her work.

For six days in a row, all the work was piled up at once, and everyone was on edge.

There's nothing we can do; the boss seems to be sexually frustrated, and he's incredibly irritable.

After exhausting everyone to the point of near death, Ling Yunjue finally managed to handle everything.

Touching his full beard, he couldn't go to see Ye Zhaoyu like this.

Ling Yunjue went back and tidied himself up, looking at his handsome self in the mirror.

Yes, it's still Ye Zhaoyu's favorite face, the one she even dreams about.

But dark circles under the eyes? Looking outside, it's still dark; it's only 10 p.m. I'll rest for a bit and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning.

On the other side, Ye Zhaoyu was very happy looking at the abundant harvest of precious medicinal herbs.

I don’t know if it’s because no one comes in here, but there are many rare wild medicinal herbs that are quite old. We dug up three 50-year-old ginseng plants and one 100-year-old ginseng plant.

Besides this, a venomous snake was also caught near the century-old ginseng.

I even encountered a deer with antlers, and the antlers were so good that I could harvest them right away. It really depends on luck.

In addition to these, there are some other rare medicinal materials.

Ye Zhaoyu is familiar with the properties of medicinal herbs and knows which places are most likely to find rare medicinal herbs.

In addition to these, they also collected some rare poisons they came across.

This trip was very rewarding.

During their evening rest, the group chatted idly, and Shanmao asked Ye Zhaoyu, "Sister-in-law, how long have you been studying medicine?"

"I started recognizing medicinal herbs and reciting herbal formulas when I was 4 years old, and it's been 19 years now," Ye Zhaoyu roughly counted.

"It's been almost 20 years, I can be considered a veteran Chinese medicine doctor," Hu Zi said.

“That’s different. Before I was 10, I mostly memorized texts. After I turned 10, I started seeing patients with my mother. It took time to go from seeing patients with her to seeing patients independently. To be precise, I haven’t been able to see patients independently for 10 years. Compared to those experienced TCM doctors, I’m still far behind,” Ye Zhaoyu said modestly.

That's the truth. Memorizing and being familiar with the properties of medicines can't be counted as experience; it only means you're an apprentice.

Compared to a seasoned traditional Chinese medicine doctor with over 20 years of experience, she definitely has shortcomings.

"That's amazing! I heard you can even perform surgery. My brother heard that all the doctors said he was beyond saving, but you saved him. You have no idea how excited we were when we heard that," Lynx said admiringly.

The three of them chatted around the fire, and as they talked, the topic turned to Ling Yunjue. "Sister-in-law, when the eldest brother is with you, is he particularly cold and serious?"

"No, he's quite nice to talk to." Ye Zhaoyu didn't think Ling Yunjue was cold at all.

“I knew the eldest brother knew how to cherish his wife. He’s the kind of guy who usually waits for others to cook for him when he’s out, but he’s going into the kitchen for his sister-in-law. How could that not be love?” Mountain Cat said to Beard immediately after hearing Ye Zhaoyu’s words.

“But he was quite cold the day we set off, as if he wanted to freeze everyone in place.” Beard still didn’t believe it.

"I'm going to sleep, you two can chat." Ye Zhaoyu quickly slipped away. If they asked her what the reason was, she couldn't very well say that her uncle had come!

Lynx wanted to ask Ye Zhaoyu more questions, but Ye Zhaoyu slipped away quickly, so he had to give up on that idea.

A new day has begun. After Ye Zhaoyu has figured out which way is north, south, east, and west, she continues her search for medicinal herbs.

Ling Yunjue got up just as dawn was breaking and he could see things a little better. Thinking that Ye Zhaoyu hadn't had his breakfast for five days, he got up and made more than 50 egg pancakes, which he carried up the mountain.

We eat a lot of meat on the mountain, so we need to eat some vegetables too.

Following the marks left by the lynx whiskers, Ling Yunjue caught up with them around noon.

"Comrade Ye, I've arrived," Ling Yunjue said solemnly to Ye Zhaoyu.

"Ah, you're here. Help me dig up some medicinal herbs." Ye Zhaoyu said to Ling Yunjue with particular solemnity.

Can't you see she's busy?

"Okay, sure."

Ye Zhaoyu found a patch of wild astragalus and was digging it up when Ling Yunjue said this.

The four of them quickly dug up the small patch of astragalus. Ye Zhaoyu saved some seeds, which would grow again the following year.

You must not dig up extinct species; this is a major taboo in herb gathering.

Ye Zhaoyu always leaves seeds when she gathers herbs, and she doesn't pick herbs that aren't old enough immediately.

"Now that the boss is here, sister-in-law, Hu Zi and I will take these herbs back first, you two continue." Mountain Cat looked at the sack of herbs that Ling Yunjue had prepared for him, picked up a sack of herbs, and prepared to go downstairs.

Beard picked up the rest, left them a tent, and then left.

Ye Zhaoyu wanted to say something, but they left too quickly and there was no time for anything.

"Are you done with your work?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue.

"Nonsense, I'm not finished with my work, why would I come here?" Ye Zhaoyu felt she was being a bit foolish.

"Well, I'm done with my work. I saw you hadn't come back yet, so I came to check on you. I brought you some egg pancakes. Do you want some?" Ling Yunjue looked at the somewhat thin Ye Zhaoyu.

I haven't seen him for six days, and he's gotten so thin from hunger.

Lynx and Beard really didn't put in as much effort as I did; they only had one woman, yet they managed to fatten her up to be thin.

Ye Zhaoyu's eyes lit up when she heard about egg pancakes. "I want to eat them! I want to eat them! You don't know, I've been eating meat for the past few days, and I'm almost getting a sore throat."

"Didn't you bring a pot? Why don't you cook some vegetables?" Ling Yunjue asked, puzzled.

"No, we all forgot. We only remember bringing salt, nothing else." Ye Zhaoyu didn't want to complain, but the meat the three of them grilled wasn't very tasty, barely edible.

Ling Yunjue suddenly thought of those two people's cooking skills. They could cook well with a pot, but without a pot, their food was barely edible.

No wonder she lost weight in just six days.
