Over there, Meng Jing was in Wu Erxiao's car, and the two of them drove up the mountain.
Jiang Mian rode a tricycle with He Yubai directly to the entrance of Uncle Wen's shop.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Jiang Mian was already shouting at the top of her lungs, "Uncle Wen! Are you there?! My friend twisted his ankle!"
In the back seat, He Yubai's face flushed slightly upon hearing these words.
I was just too embarrassed.
Although there weren't many people passing by, Jiang Mian's shout drew the attention of quite a few.
Jiang Mian jumped out of the car while shouting, and glanced at the back seat before entering the door.
He Yubai had his head slightly lowered. The wind blew along, and although his clothes, which had been soaked by the water, were no longer clinging to his body, they inexplicably added to his sense of weakness after his illness.
She's just so special... I feel sorry for her!
As expected of the noble young master He, if someone else fell into the water and slipped, they would probably be scorned for being so dirty.
But he was different. Even though he looked a bit disheveled at the moment, his appearance made him stand out at first glance.
If he were assigned to be a male model, he would look like someone who has been ravaged and broken.
Ha, those rich women will probably fight over him!
Rich people have good genes!
After Jiang Mian finished expressing his feelings, he realized that he wasn't so bad after all!
Hmph~
After being arrogant for a moment, he thought about turning around and going into the store, but Uncle Wen had already put on his glasses and came out: "Mianmian, who twisted their ankle?"
The two almost bumped into each other at the door, but Jiang Mian managed to stop in time and led Uncle Wen to the tricycle: "This is my friend. He asked you to brew some Chinese medicine for him yesterday because he was suffering from water and soil incompatibility. Do you remember?"
Uncle Wen gave him a reproachful look: "Of course I remember. I may be old, but I don't have dementia yet!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Wen, you're the best! I just wanted to test you."
Jiang Mian chuckled.
He knew that although Uncle Wen always liked to joke with them, he was actually young at heart despite his age.
You can joke with him about anything else without any problem, but if the topic of his age comes up, he'll always have to seriously defend himself.
He just wanted to prove himself. Even though he's getting old, his skills haven't declined at all; they're still top-notch!
Jiang Mian couldn't help but chuckle; this old man was indeed getting more and more childish as he got older.
No wonder people say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!
Upon seeing Uncle Wen, He Yubai nodded slightly to him: "Uncle Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"What trouble or not? It's just a sprained ankle. It's no big deal."
Uncle Wen said nonchalantly, and then, after learning that He Yubai had sprained his right ankle, he reached out and touched He Yubai's right ankle.
He pressed on several areas with his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
When the other person pressed down with testing force, He Yubai frowned slightly: "A little."
Seeing that he looked normal, Uncle Wen knew what was going on: "It's nothing, just a slight misalignment of a bone, a bit of a strain, just wait and see."
Uncle Wen turned around and went back into the shop. When he came out again, he was holding a small white porcelain bottle.
The stopper was removed, and a strong yet strange medicinal smell wafted out.
He Yubai frowned, but with Uncle Wen in front of him, he couldn't just cover his nose directly, lest he upset the other party.
Jiang Mian didn't care about any of that. She immediately covered her nose, her brows furrowed deeply: "Uncle Wen, what is this? It smells like medicine, but it stinks so bad!"
"This is really good stuff!" Uncle Wen chuckled. "I made this liniment myself from herbs. When you have a sprain or rheumatism, just apply this stuff, massage it in, and it'll make you feel incredibly comfortable!"
Even though the other party said that, Jiang Mian still covered her nose.
Uncle Wen's lifelong hobby was this. When he was young, the town had not yet been developed into a tourist destination, and the mountains were covered with all kinds of vegetation.
Driven by his passion for traditional Chinese medicine, he would carry a basket all over the mountains to collect herbs, and when he returned home, he would take out medical books and try them out himself.
Driven by his interest, he taught himself for over ten years and managed to keep his traditional Chinese medicine shop afloat.
Although there has been no official verification and it is uncertain how skilled Uncle Wen really is, he has been practicing medicine as a barefoot doctor in the town for many years thanks to his self-taught skills.
Whether he's reliable or not, we've all relied on him for treatment over the years.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and he is still living a vibrant and energetic life.
But before hearing Uncle Wen's explanation, Jiang Mian thought that he had added the five poisons to the liniment.
Although the Five Poisons' remedy probably smells even worse, the liniment in this little porcelain bottle is just as good!
Uncle Wen poured some liniment into his palm, and as soon as the stuff came out, the stench became even stronger.
Even though Jiang Mian covered her nose and inhaled very little, she almost vomited.
On the other hand, He Yubai's face turned pale from the stench, but the young master was still stubbornly holding on.
He couldn't stand it any longer and simply reminded him, "He Yubai, if you think it smells too bad, you can cover your nose! If you faint from the stench later, I won't have the strength to lift you out of the car."
These words made He Yubai's face turn even redder, but all he could do was reply, "Shut up!"
Well, this young master has so many problems!
Jiang Mian covered her nose as she watched Uncle Wen spread the liniment in his palm and then massage He Yubai's ankle.
While doing it, Uncle Wen explained, "First, massage the strained meridians to loosen them up, and the pain won't be so bad when you set the bones later."
