The group arrived at a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the alley. Although the courtyard was old, it was clean and tidy. Some semi-dried spiritual herbs were drying in the courtyard. Chu Wanwan smelled the fragrance of the spiritual herbs in the air. These should be some spiritual herbs used for healing.
There were three thatched houses in the courtyard, none of them very large. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the middle house. It must be Uncle Si's residence.
As soon as Si Mingye entered the courtyard, without waiting for the Chu brothers to lead the way, he strode towards the thatched hut in the middle.
The interior of the thatched hut was also very simple. Apart from a wooden bed, there was only a set of bamboo table and chairs. The table and chairs were crudely made and woven by the Chu brothers themselves from bamboo.
Lying on the wooden bed was an old man with white hair and beard. His face was pale, and his breath was weak, clearly indicating that he was nearing the end of his life. Beside his bed was a medicine bowl that had cooled down and contained half a bowl of yellow soup. A medicinal aroma emanated from the bowl, mixed with a faint, almost imperceptible bitterness. It was the ginseng soup that the Chu brothers had prepared for Uncle Si, but they had obviously been interrupted by something halfway through feeding him.
"Oh no! I was so overjoyed to see my sister that those people took the ginseng!"
Chu Wenze walked angrily to the small table, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup, and continued with a frustrated expression, "I'll go heat it up for Uncle Si." Then, Chu Wenze turned and walked out.
"I'll go help too..." Chu Wenyu said, and also left the room...
Si Mingye slowly walked to the bedside, looking at the old man's aged and haggard face, his anger and anxiety surged like a tide. He turned to look at Chu Wanwan, his eyes filled with expectation and inquiry.
Chu Wanwan walked to the bedside and gently comforted him, "Si Ye, don't worry, I will do my best to save Uncle Si."
Si Mingye didn't speak, but stared straight at the old man on the bed. His father looked much older and more haggard than when he left.
Looking at his father like this, Si Mingye felt a slight sting in his eyes...
Chu Wanwan gently placed her fingers on Uncle Si's pulse, her brows furrowed.
Indeed, Uncle Si's condition is not optimistic. His internal organs are severely damaged, and his vitality is slowly fading away.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Chu Wanwan looked up at Si Mingye, whose eyes were red and swollen.
Si Mingye nodded upon hearing this, but still remained silent.
Chu Wanwan took out a pill that shimmered with a faint golden light from her spatial ring. This was a pill she had refined a few days ago, named "Rejuvenation Pill," which had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
The medicinal herbs inside are extremely precious and rare. It takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to refine one pill, but at this moment, in order to save Uncle Si, she did not hesitate to put the pill into Si Nantian's mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a powerful life force rapidly spread throughout Si Nantian's body. His previously pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and his weak breathing became steady and strong.
Si Mingye stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Chu Wanwan: "My father, the Emperor..."
Chu Wanwan, who had been sitting by the bed taking Si Nantian's pulse, said, "He's fine. His internal organs are repairing rapidly, but if we want him to wake up, it will probably be tonight..."
"Yes! Thank you! Wanwan, this pill must be very precious!" Si Mingye looked at Chu Wanwan, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Chu Wanwan smiled slightly and shook her head. "Although the pills are precious, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, Uncle Si doted on me the most when we were in the mortal world. I am willing to give the medicine to Uncle Si!"
"Don't be so coy!" Chu Wanwan said, afraid that Si Mingye would say something polite again.
Si Mingye understood Chu Wanwan's intention and said nothing more. He just gave her a deep look before turning back to continue watching Uncle Si on the bed.
Chu Wenze had just finished heating up the ginseng soup and carefully brought it in. Seeing that Uncle Si's complexion had improved considerably, he exclaimed with delight, "Wanwan, you're amazing! Uncle Si looks much better!"
Si Mingye took the ginseng soup and gently fed it to Uncle Si.
Chu Wanwan finally had time to take a good look at her youngest brother. When she left, he was only a little over ten years old, but now he has grown into a handsome and mature young man.
He was dressed in gray cloth, but that couldn't hide his naturally handsome and dashing air.
Chu Wenze's features were deep and three-dimensional, his eyebrows like distant mountains, his eyes like bright stars. Even in simple clothes, his extraordinary elegance could not be concealed. His face was like a finely sculpted work of art, every line so perfect and harmonious.
Although simply dressed, Chu Wenze's charisma was undeniable. He was like a dazzling pearl, shining brightly even in the most humble surroundings. Seeing her younger brother grow into such an outstanding man, Chu Wanwan was filled with pride.
Chu Wenze felt a little uncomfortable under Chu Wanwan's gaze. He touched his face and asked with a smile, "Wanwan, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
Chu Wanwan chuckled and teased, "Little brother, you're getting more and more handsome. I'm afraid the girls who want to marry you will line up from our doorstep all the way to the city gate!"
"You! You're always teasing Third Brother. And you? How are you doing now? Have you found someone you like?"
As Chu Wenze spoke, he glanced at Si Mingye, who was sitting by the bed feeding Si Nantian medicine.
Si Mingye felt Chu Wenze's gaze, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan said nonchalantly, "What person do you mean by 'favorite'? Your sister has been very busy since arriving in the Immortal Realm, how could I have time to think about such things?"
