By the time Song Yan retrieved the needle, the commander had already fallen asleep. The people inside tiptoed out of the room.
Secretary Fang and Song Yan shook hands for a long time without letting go. "Commander, you haven't slept a wink since yesterday. Comrade Song, your medical skills are truly admirable."
"It's only a temporary relief, not a cure," Song Yan said truthfully.
"Is there a way to cure it completely?" Secretary Fang now felt that Song Yan could cure it.
"The commander's illness is caused by liver stagnation due to emotional distress. Liver stagnation can be cleared, but if the emotional distress persists, liver stagnation can recur. This is the principle behind treating mental illnesses with mental medicine. Whether he relapses after treatment is up to him," Song Yan said solemnly.
Secretary Fang sighed. The army commander would probably never be able to let go of that matter. An old doctor had said something similar before. "What should be the next step in the treatment? The commander can't stay here too long."
"Seven days of acupuncture is ideal, at least two more sessions. Drink the herbal decoction for seven days! I'll also prepare some medicinal tea for you to drink year-round. It won't cure the problem, but at least it will lessen the pain and reduce the frequency of flare-ups. Using some medicinal diets would be even better." After saying this, Song Yan asked the head doctor for paper and pen to write down the prescriptions, the herbal tea recipes, and two medicinal diet recipes. He then carefully explained the usage and precautions for the prescriptions, the herbal tea, and the medicinal diets.
After examining the leader, Song Yan left as soon as possible because she felt the gemstone pendant was getting hot.
Song Yan went into the bathroom, closed the door, and immediately went into the space to check.
"Girl, have you been thinking about me?" A familiar voice came from afar.
"Old man, is that you? Where are you?" The voice was so familiar that it made Song Yan's heart burn with excitement.
"You can't see me. It's already a miracle that I can even talk to you. Time is running out, so listen to me. I really didn't expect you could open this sealed treasure. I was very worried when I sensed you opening it. With it, you can steal anything. Although stealing something can shrink it, giving the contents of the space to others to eat or use can make it grow back."
I was afraid you'd become consumed by greed. I didn't expect you to do so well. Remember, never let greed take hold. If you can't control your greed, it will eventually backfire on you. That would be truly worse than death. Always remember what I said!
"I understand. I will not take what does not belong to me."
"One should not covet things that are unclaimed."
"Oh? I took quite a lot, I took whatever I saw!"
"Don't worry, what you took is just a drop in the ocean! The things in the space were all cultivated by you slowly, which is good. These can be used for you. Although you won't lose anything by taking other people's ill-gotten gains, try not to take them."
“I’ve taken ill-gotten gains once, and I certainly won’t do it again. Is the reason I feel light and have particularly quick reflexes now because of the space?” Song Yan asked.
"Yes, this space can cleanse one's marrow and refine one's essence. Since you are not a cultivator, this is the only benefit you can receive. Your physical functions have basically reached their peak. Your stamina is insufficient, so don't be fooled by that person this afternoon."
How did you know?
"I've been waiting for you this afternoon! I just used the merit from your healing to activate it and give you this hint."
"Are you doing well? Are you able to eat and stay warm?"
“I’m doing well. I started benefiting when you reopened this spiritual object. Remember, control your greed. If you take something that already has an owner, it will shrink. If you take something that doesn’t belong to you and demand too much, the space will darken.”
"Old man, why don't you take it back? What if I get greedy someday?" It would be a pain to return such a magical treasure, but it's not yours.
“I didn’t misjudge you. Whether in the past life or this life, you have always stayed true to yourself. I can’t take it back. The brighter the ruby shines, the more I benefit.”
"I've sold quite a few things from the space, does that mean it's still not enough?"
"Hahaha, scared? Everything produced in this space is at your disposal. This is a use that cultivators would normally look down upon. By the way, you cannot bring anyone into this space before the two springs appear, or that person will surely die. Moreover, the allure of this space is too great; it's hard for anyone who sees it not to covet it. For your own sake, you'd better keep this secret."
"I understand. I'll treat it like my own estate from now on, growing flowers, grass, grains, and medicinal herbs."
"It's time. Take care, girl!"
"Old man, will you come again?"
"There will be other opportunities when the time and place are right, I will come! I'm leaving now!"
"Old man, take care!"
"knew!"
"Old man, where are you now?"
There was no sound!
The old man left after only a short while. Song Yan sat on the pile of straw.
It was like watching the old man weave baskets under the spring sunshine…
"It's getting late, let's go back for dinner!"
"No, I want to hear a story!"
"Your grandparents should be calling you for dinner."
"No, they won't come looking for me."
"Then I'll tell you a short one, and you can go back after you finish listening."
"good."
…
When Song Yan returned, her grandparents had finished eating and gone to rest. The food was still in the pot. Song Yan put the food in a basket and took it to eat with the old man. She wanted someone to eat with her and talk to her while they ate.
The old man would ask her, "When are you going to school?" After she started school, he would ask again, "How did you do on your exams?" Song Yan worked hard to get first place so that when the old man asked her, she could proudly say, "I did really well! I got first place!"...
The first time she did this, she probably hoped her grandparents would contact her.
From then on, Song Yan knew that no one would look for her.
Does she hate? Does she resent?
No!
Because there's always food for her at home, cotton-padded clothes in winter, skirts in summer, and she can even go to school!
She knew her grandparents were old, and the grief of losing their son had drained them of their energy. As long as they were there, she had a home!
Therefore, Song Yan thought that Wei Ping and Wei An were not only children who had food to eat and clothes to wear, but also children who had someone looking for them!
My eyes are a little sore; I can't think about it anymore. It's only been a few months, and I've probably shed all the tears I could in my past life.
…
The spring water gurgled and bubbled, its source marked by shiny, round stones, flowing gently into a nearby pool. The surrounding area was a vibrant green. In a few days, the wheat and corn would turn golden, and the harvest would come again. Song Yan needed to manage this place well…
