The little girl kept praising Lan Jingtang, probably forgetting that not long ago she was questioning his medical skills.
"Enough! Miss An, you flatter me. I am unworthy of such praise."
An Yuan'er chuckled sheepishly, "Yes, yes! But you absolutely mustn't go back on your word."
"The Lan family never makes promises lightly, but once they do, they never break their word."
This time, An Yuan'er was truly relieved.
With her long-held wish fulfilled, An Yuan'er could no longer hold on. Her eyelids felt heavy and her body could no longer bear the weight, so she fainted.
Lan Jingtang took An Yuan'er's pulse: "Oh no. The venom is about to spread to her heart. This idiot, she wasted so much time just now asking him to treat her leg."
Lan Jingtang dared not delay and went out to collect herbs with his basket on his back.

The area at the bottom of the cliff is empty and deserted, with no one living there and no food available. Only a few small animals such as pheasants and rabbits hop around.
Fortunately, there were no large or dangerous animals. Lan Jingtang found a lot of herbs and picked some wild fruits before hurrying back.
He was worried about An Yuan'er's condition and dared not linger outside for too long.
When he returned, An Yuan'er was still unconscious, but fortunately her condition had not worsened.
Lan Jingtang lit a fire, used a coconut shell as a container, and began to brew the herbs.
He found some herbs that could counteract snake venom, but these herbs were very slow to take effect. The environment here was too poor, and there were no conditions to help An Yuan'er recover.
Moreover, if this is delayed, the toxins will take effect before the herbs can work.
They needed to find a medicinal herb that would produce immediate results. While thinking, Lan Jingtang saw the snow lotus that he had spent so much effort picking.
When snow lotus is ground into powder and mixed into medicine, it has an excellent detoxifying effect.
Lan Jingtang broke the snow lotus into pieces, ground it, and mixed it into the medicine he was making for An Yuan'er without much hesitation.
He had risked his life to obtain the snow lotus, and he was reluctant to waste it. Unexpectedly, it eventually turned into a bowl of antidote.
Lan Jingtang wasn't so heartbroken about Xue Lian anymore; all he wanted was for An Yuan'er to recover and be lively and energetic again.
He suddenly realized his extraordinary concern for An Yuan'er, and in order to convince himself, Lan Jingtang began to find reasons for it.
"You're the one who saved me from poisoning. If I couldn't save you, how could I live up to my reputation as a divine healer?"
It must be like this; it's not some other strange thing.
However, this reason was too flimsy and seemed unable to conceal Lan Jingtang's anxiety and worry at this moment.
"Get well soon!" Lan Jingtang thought. Every soft moan she let out in pain felt like a punishment and torture to him.
The medicine was almost ready, and An Yuan'er, who had been in a deep sleep, began to mumble in her sleep.
"Ah Li, Ah Li..."
"I want to go home, and I miss you too."
Lan Jingtang walked over and heard An Yuan'er's babbling.
Who is Ali?
"Is that her friend's name?"
For a moment, Lan Jingtang found it difficult to tell whether the name belonged to a boy or a girl.
Rolling around—
Before I knew it, the medicine was ready and boiling.
Lan Jingtang presented the medicine and went to An Yuan'er's side.
He gently patted An Yuan'er: "The medicine is ready. You won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it."
"Hmm~" An Yuan'er responded groggily.
An Yuan'er opened her hazy eyes, and in a daze, the person in front of her had somehow become the person she was thinking of.
She instinctively reached for the person's hand and said coquettishly, "Ah Li, I feel so awful. The medicine is bitter, Yuan'er won't drink it."
