Chapter 60 Shulan faintly smelled what seemed like blood.



Madam Cao changed her clothes.

Even though the room had been cleaned, it still had an unpleasant smell.

"Open the windows to let in some fresh air, so they can come in."

Shulan picked up a pen and paper and began writing a prescription. When she learned that she could come in, Cao Yaozu and his wife's children entered.

She had two sons and a daughter. The eldest daughter was thirteen years old, the second son was ten years old, and the youngest son was only five years old.

As soon as they entered, they rushed to Madam Cao's bedside, weeping and calling out, "Mother."

Even though Cao Yaozu wanted to go forward, he ultimately hesitated because of his status.

Looking at Shulan, who was writing a prescription, he cautiously asked, "Dr. Shu, how is Wanshu's condition?"

"She is out of immediate danger, but her internal organs are severely damaged. It is unclear whether she will experience any complications later."

Cao Yaozu, who had initially appeared relaxed, turned pale again.

Shulan handed him the written prescription: "I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine here. You can decoct them for her to drink. If anything happens, go to Shu's Medical Clinic to find me immediately, or bring her to the clinic."

Looking towards the bedside, he said, "Whether she can live or not ultimately depends on her own will."

Cao Yaozu also knew that this was indeed the case.

He nodded, bowed to her, and expressed his deepest gratitude.

At the same time, the steward was instructed to deliver one hundred taels of silver: "Dr. Shu, I will have to trouble you to make a few more trips later."

Now, Wan Shu's life depends entirely on this miracle doctor.

Looking at the ten silver ingots, Shulan felt comfortable from the silvery light: "Sure, just let me know if you need anything."

As long as the money is in place, that's fine.

In consideration of the 100 taels of silver, Shulan wrote down several recipes specifically for Madam Cao to nourish her body.

He then explained some precautions, and after preparing the medicine, he watched as everyone fed it to Madam Cao.

He took her pulse again, told everyone to keep a close watch on her, and then left.

It was already dark by then, and Cao Yaozu asked the driver to take them home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the mansion, they saw a tall figure waiting there. Even though he was casual in demeanor and not wearing armor, he exuded an air of majesty and composure that inspired respect.

Behind him was Jingfeng, pawing the ground and swinging his ponytail.

Upon seeing Shulan, it let out a small hiss, clearly recognizing her.

When Shulan saw him, she was quite surprised: "Why has the General come?"

Cao Yaozu did not recognize General He after he shaved his beard, but he was familiar with his beloved horse.

While he was filled with surprise and doubt, upon hearing Shulan's words and observing the way the two interacted, a flash of shock crossed his eyes. However, being someone who was often away from home, he quickly concealed it well.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble subject greets the Great General."

He Fengmian nodded and said, "No need for formalities. I'm just here to take my wife home."

Upon hearing the word "Madam," Cao Yaozu's pupils dilated in shock, but he dared not show it at all. He simply smiled and said, "Today, thanks to the General's wife, Wanshu was able to escape danger. I will personally visit her to express my gratitude one day."

He had always wanted to build a good relationship with the divine physician's apprentice, and now that he knew she was the wife of a great general, he was even more eager.

He Fengmian knew exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

He had the He family's carriage take Huang Qi and the others back to the clinic, while he and Shu Lan rode together on Jingfeng towards the General's Mansion.

Shulan asked curiously, "Why has the General returned?"

He Fengmian didn't let Jingfeng run too fast. He strolled slowly in the moonlight. When he heard the little woman in front of him ask a question, he calmly replied, "There's nothing going on in the camp lately, so I came back."

"oh."

Liu Moyang, who was forced to handle official business in the camp, sneezed.

He wiped his nose, and by the candlelight, resumed handling his official duties.

Sighing and cursing inwardly, she thought, "Why can that bastard He Jianxing go around with young ladies while I have to be his slave?"

Meanwhile, a carefree general, with a beautiful woman in his arms, was in a very good mood.

Shulan felt very comfortable as the night breeze blew through her.

These past few days have been getting hotter and hotter. The weather is quite hot during the day, but it becomes very comfortable after nightfall, and I can almost hear the croaking of frogs.

Only then did I realize that the Dragon Boat Festival was almost here, and that I had been in this border town for more than a month.

A deep voice in my ear: "What are you thinking about?"

Shulan spoke her mind, looked at the full moon in the sky, and smiled, saying, "I didn't realize I'd been here so long."

Hearing her say that, He Fengmian asked, "Would you like to see the night view of the border town?"

"May I?"

"certainly."

Then they controlled Jingfeng and headed in another direction, the same direction they had gone hunting before.

However, after passing the village, they headed in another direction.

Once outside the inner city, Jingfeng's speed increased, but he ran very steadily.

The night breeze was very comfortable. Shulan was gently embraced by He Fengmian, her back against his hot chest—it felt just like riding a motorcycle.

Pretty cool.

Seeing that they seemed to have arrived at the back mountain of the mansion, she asked, "Have we arrived at the back mountain?"

"yes."

But Jingfeng turned another corner, and when it stopped, Shulan heard a clear croaking of frogs.

She also saw clearly that there was a large lake here, not as big as the one in the mountains they had gone to before, and from the shadowy tree shadows, she could tell that it was a lake in the forest.

Under the moonlight, the lake surface shimmered, reflecting the star-studded night sky, creating a beautiful scene.

"Huh?" Shulan exclaimed in surprise as she watched many fluorescent lights dancing in the air.

On the lake and its banks, many fireflies were dancing leisurely, making the place truly beautiful and dreamlike. I couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"

Seeing how much she liked it, He Fengmian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's beautiful here during the day, but the view is even more stunning at night." She didn't know why she had decided to bring him here, but she knew he would love it.

"It's beautiful. Looking at these things makes me feel much better." She never expected to see such a beautiful night view in the border town.

The two of them quietly gazed at the beautiful scenery.

The fireflies flew past them from time to time, creating a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere that made them feel relaxed and happy.

Then, while gazing at the beautiful scenery, Shulan suddenly had an idea and asked with concern, "Are there fish in this lake?"

He Fengmian: "..."

Helplessly: "Yes."

"Then let's have grilled fish next time." Grilled fish goes perfectly with beautiful scenery.

This made her excited, saying, "Next time, let's invite Commander Liu and the others together. Their grilled food is delicious."

"Okay." The originally quiet atmosphere was now slightly enhanced by these words, carrying a hint of fragrance.

Seeing that it was getting a bit chilly by the lake, he said, "Let's go back, maybe next time."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed Shulan, leaped back quickly, and shouted warily and sharply, "Who?"

At the same time, Shulan faintly smelled what seemed like blood...
