After leaving the space, they gathered some herbs near the canyon and then went to meet up with Uncle Xu. They descended the mountain amidst his cheerful words.

Halfway there, Uncle Xu was called away by Xu Guoqiang, who said that the production team's cow was about to give birth and asked him to go and help deliver it.

Li Xiyue had no choice but to take the herbs back by herself.

At her sixth uncle's house, Xu Dawei was already waiting in the yard. When he saw her return, he struggled to his feet and looked behind her, asking, "Where's sixth uncle?"

"The cow is about to give birth, and Uncle Liu was called by the brigade leader to assist with the delivery." Li Xiyue entered the yard and asked, "What do you need him for?"

"I'd like to get some more medicine," Xu Dawei said.

He caught a cold after being kicked into the paddy field by Xu Guoqiang, and he still felt unwell after taking medicine for two days.

"Since Uncle Liu isn't here, I'll come back later," Xu Dawei said, and was about to leave.

“Although a cold is a minor illness, it can be quite bothersome if it keeps recurring. Sit down, let me take a look at you,” Li Xiyue called out to him.

Xu Dawei looked at Xu Guoqing, who came out of the house, and Xu Guoqing said, "Sister Li's medical skills are even better than my grandfather's."

Xu Dawei hesitated for a moment, then sat back down.

"Open your mouth, let me see your tongue."

Xu Dawei was slightly taken aback, then opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

“Excessive liver fire, external cold and internal heat, is a condition of deficiency within excess and excess within deficiency. It cannot be treated by just treating the wind-cold; the internal heat must also be cleared.” After Li Xiyue finished speaking, seeing his bewildered expression, she explained, “It means alternating chills and fever, which requires taking Xiao Chai Hu Tang.”

Xu Guoqing said "oh" and went inside to get the medicine.

“Li Zhiqing, I…” Xu Dawei said with some shame, “That day I was misled by one side and almost wronged you…”

She didn't hold a grudge and even helped him get medical treatment. He didn't know what to say.

Li Xiyue got up to prepare the herbs. "I was indeed angry at how you treated me, but now I am the doctor and you are the patient. Let's keep things separate. I won't take revenge on you."

Xu Dawei had been worried that she would use the excuse of seeing a doctor to retaliate against him, but now that she had made things clear, he felt relieved.

Xu Guoqing took out several packets of medicine, which Li Xiyue took and handed to him. "Twice a day, boil two bowls of water down to half a bowl and drink it. If you feel unwell, come find me anytime."

Xu Dawei took the medicine, nodded, thanked him, and left.

Xu Guoqing squatted down in front of Li Xiyue and said, "Sister Li, you are so generous. If it were me, I wouldn't treat him."

“So you’re not suited to be a doctor; you’re too opinionated.” Li Xiyue took out all the herbs, sorting them out by type: those that needed to be dried, those that needed to be chopped, and those that needed to be dried and ground into powder.

In a doctor's eyes, there are only two kinds of people: healthy people and patients. He doesn't mix personal grudges with work.

However, there is a bottom line: enemies who harm the interests of the country and the people will not be dealt with.

Xu Guoqing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I also think I'm not suitable, but my grandfather insists that I study medicine."

Li Xiyue then asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"I want to join the army," Xu Guoqing stood up, head held high, "to be a soldier who protects our country."

Li Xiyue usually saw him as unserious, but he actually had the sentiments of a soldier.

"I want to be a great hero like my uncle," Xu Guoqing said with pride.

"Your uncle is a soldier?"

“Yes,” Xu Guoqing said excitedly, “My uncle is amazing, just as amazing as Xiangyang’s dad. My uncle even promised to take me with him to join the army when I grow up.”

Thinking of something, he lowered his eyes and sighed, "It's a pity that after Xiangyang's father had his accident, my parents and grandfather wouldn't let me join the army."

His father is a doctor at the county hospital, and his mother is a nurse. They are busy with work and rarely come home. They left him with his father when he was young, and his life is not as good as Xiaobai's.

Li Xiyue was surprised; Xu Xiangyang's father was also a soldier?

She hurriedly asked, "What happened to Comrade Xiangyang's father?"

"He sacrificed himself," Xu Guoqing said in a low voice.

Li Xiyue was stunned; it turned out that Xu Xiangyang was a martyr's family member.

“Xiangyang is very pitiful. His mother died when he was seven years old. Later, his uncle died, and then his father died... He and his uncle were the only two people left in his family.”

Li Xiyue frowned. It turned out that Xu Xiangyang had gone through so much hardship and so many setbacks. No one could have endured it.

"Sister Li, please pretend you don't know what I'm telling you. If Grandpa finds out I told you, he'll skin me alive," Xu Guoqing pleaded.
