After bringing the person back, Shen Zhiheng took Luo Qi'an out to work and didn't return until evening.
Upon entering the courtyard, they encountered Shen Xingmian, who was on his way to distribute supernatural abilities. So the grandfather and grandson knocked on the doors of the three injured patients together.
Li Xun responded loudly, "Please come in quickly!" as he was about to get out of bed and open the door.
However, before he could get out of bed, the door was already pushed open, and sure enough, it was their general who came in.
Before the three men could even put on their cotton-padded coats, they excitedly knelt down, clasped their hands in greeting, and shouted in unison, "General!"
Shen Zhiheng quickly stepped forward to help the person up and gently advised, "Your body isn't fully recovered yet, don't torture yourself like this, get up quickly."
After helping everyone back to bed, Shen Zhiheng, unusually, put aside his fierce and authoritative demeanor from his time in the army and sat down gently next to Li Xun.
"How are you feeling? You can get out of bed, so you must be almost fully recovered. Come, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, the one who rescued you this time."
Shen Xingmian stepped forward and greeted the three men with a sweet smile: "Hello, uncles. Please extend your hands so I can help you with your follow-up examination."
The three of them were stunned.
Where is the white-bearded old man I imagined?
Even if it wasn't an old man, it should have been a middle-aged person, so how could it be a little girl?
This child still looks like he hasn't reached the age of marriage; how could he possibly be the one who saved them from the brink of death?
Although the general's tone and expression were gentle, he didn't seem to be joking with them at all...
Could it be that their deadly injuries were actually healed by this young girl in front of them?
Li Xun suppressed his doubts and took his hand out of his sleeve. Shen Xingmian placed his fingers on Li Xun's wrist, pretending to take his pulse.
But she didn't actually understand traditional Chinese medicine at all; she was just doing this to transfer her supernatural abilities into the other person's skin through contact.
However, to increase credibility, she pretended to feel the pulse for a while, and when the power was almost distributed, she smiled and withdrew her hand without saying a word.
Then, she used the same method to help the other two people strengthen their foundation, took out a small porcelain bottle she carried with her, poured out three chocolate beans, and distributed them to each of them.
"Take this medicine, and you should be able to move around freely tomorrow. Then I'll entrust my grandfather to you three uncles!"
To maintain the mystery, Shen Xingmian didn't say anything more and left the room directly.
Even after she closed the door and completely disappeared, the three people inside were still in a daze.
They had obediently eaten the chocolate beans like puppets, but they still doubted whether they were dreaming and had not fully woken up.
Shen Zhiheng knew they were deeply shocked, but he offered neither explanation nor comfort. After all, their injuries had indeed healed, hadn't they?
Faced with such irrefutable evidence, all seemingly unbelievable facts will eventually be accepted.
"You can stay here without worry. Now that you're all better, come with me tomorrow."
Shen Zhiheng told him to "get some rest" and then eagerly followed his darling away.
After quickly catching up, he hurriedly asked, "Sweetie, how are you? Are you exhausted today?"
He was really worried that his granddaughter was working too hard to cure the person and was harming her own body.
Shen Xingmian shook her head repeatedly: "No, although this is exhausting for me, it is also good training. In the future, if I encounter similar injuries, I will be able to help them recover to near full health without spending a whole day on them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiheng felt relieved. That was good. He was worried that spreading the title of "Goddess" would cause trouble for Mianmian.
"With you here, it's truly a blessing for the soldiers of the Northern Border. Every battle results in a large number of wounded. Some of these wounds are beyond the capabilities of ordinary doctors, leaving them to suffer and die. Now that we have Mianmian, these people finally have a chance to live."
Shen Xingmian patted her grandfather's arm and comforted him, "Old injuries can be treated too. Grandpa can have someone bring them back later."
Shen Zhiheng exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, great!"
"Did you see that imperial envoy today, Grandfather? He's been lording it over this northern border for so long, it's time to teach him a lesson."
Shen Xingmian was eager to try, wishing he could personally go over and smash the imperial envoy's head.
After seeing how badly injured the three men were, she felt that the imperial envoy's arrogant and domineering behavior was even more despicable than that of the dog emperor.
It would be a disservice to the soldiers of the North who had suffered so much if they didn't subject him to a great deal of torment.
"Not yet. He was slacking off today, staying in his residence all day without coming out. It seems he already knows I'm back and doesn't dare to show his face easily."
"That's true. These kinds of people are the most cowardly. They usually do whatever they want because of their status, but now that someone can deal with them, they immediately turn into rats in the gutter, hiding and running around. It's really laughable."
"It's alright. I've already taken care of things in the military camp today. Let him live one more day, and I'll send him on his way first thing tomorrow morning."
When Shen Zhiheng mentioned this person, his tone was very cold, and it was also filled with a chilling killing intent.
Shen Xingmian wanted to jump up and clap her hands in approval. She grabbed her grandfather's arm, shook it affectionately, and said in a fawning tone, "Grandpa is awesome!"
"By the way, Grandpa, after we deal with that imperial envoy, shouldn't we hang his head at the gate of the military camp and show it to the soldiers?"
Shen Zhiheng, both amused and exasperated, poked Shen Xingmian's forehead: "You little brat, you've got some nerve, hanging someone else's head up there. Do you really dare to look at it yourself?"
Shen Xingmian thought about that scene and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. You know, she used to be a little girl who would tremble with fear when walking alone in a dark stairwell. How could she dare to say such vicious things now?
The environment has a truly significant impact on people.
Recalling the night she escaped the exiles and fought the assassins, she felt that she should be able to face bloodied heads.
So he nodded decisively: "Grandpa, I think I can do it. Besides, the soldiers have suffered so much, we have to give them an explanation."
"Yes, we need to give everyone an explanation, especially since many of them have relatives at home. Not all of them are in the North. We want them to pass on messages to their families and come over slowly. Of course, we need to give them enough security and support."
Shen Xingmian agreed, but still hesitated, saying, "Should we wait a little longer? It's freezing cold now, and even if they come over, they won't have anything to do. Besides, I'm worried they might freeze to death on the way."
Shen Zhiheng laughed and patted his granddaughter's head: "Of course, that's for next spring. As for this winter, let's focus on solving the problems of food and cotton clothing first."
