Chapter 60: The accomplices and patients have finally recovered some of their physical condition.
Let me see your hands.
Gu Baobao gestured for him to extend his hand.
Lu Zhanming did as instructed and extended his previously injured right arm.
Gu Baobao magically produced silver needles from her spatial storage, disinfected them, and quickly inserted two needles into several acupoints near the wound on his arm.
The needle tip trembled slightly, carrying the unique gentle energy of the spiritual spring water, further promoting local blood circulation and wound healing.
After doing all this, she stretched out her hand in front of Gu Dongguo and Lu Zhanming, palm up.
The next second, a white porcelain teacup appeared out of thin air in her fair palm!
The cup was filled with a clear, transparent liquid that rippled slightly and emitted a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Even though Gu Dongguo and Lu Zhanming were already mentally prepared and had heard the story of the magical spring, they were still shocked to witness this illogical scene of turning empty hands into something!
His pupils contracted from the shock, and his worldview was once again severely impacted!
This...this is what the baby was talking about, being able to get things from that place?
Gu Baobao handed the cup to Lu Zhanming, her eyes clear:
"Lu Tuan, drink it. It will help you recover."
Lu Zhanming took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. Without hesitation, he took the cup and drank the spiritual spring water inside in one gulp.
The cool, sweet liquid slid down his throat, instantly transforming into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones, quickly replenishing the energy he had just expended.
The bone setting relieved the slight discomfort he had experienced, making him feel completely comfortable and invigorated.
The effects are immediate!
This spring water...it's amazing!
Gu Baobao retrieved the empty cup, and with a thought, the cup disappeared. Then, she turned her gaze to Gu Dongguo, who was staring in disbelief and instinctively shrank back.
A sweet, innocent smile appeared on her face, and her voice was as soft as cotton candy:
"Brother, it's your turn. Lie down."
Gu Dongguo: "!!!"
Looking at his sister's gentle smile, and then recalling the miserable state Lu Zhanming had been in when he was being manipulated with those "crackling" sounds, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!
"Baby...baby, how about...I think I've recovered pretty well, so I don't need to..."
He tried to struggle.
"Brother~"
Gu Baobao drew out her words, with a hint of coquetry, but her eyes held an undeniable seriousness.
"If you don't heal these hidden wounds, you'll suffer when you get older. Listen to me, lie down."
Gu Dongguo: "..."
He resignedly closed his eyes, let out a silent wail, and laboriously moved to the edge of the bed, where he lay down with a death-defying resolve.
"Brother, relax, don't tense your muscles so much."
Gu Baobao placed her little hand on his shoulder.
Gu Dongguo was on the verge of tears. How could he possibly relax?!
Immediately afterwards,
"Ah—! Ouch—! Be gentle... Snap! Ouch, my back..."
Crack! Crack!
"Legs! Legs! My dear sister! Those are your brother's legs!"
Crack!
In Gu Dongguo's room, a symphony of even more miserable sounds than what Lu Zhanming had just experienced suddenly erupted, a mixture of screams and groans, along with a tooth-chilling "crack" sound!
Gu Baobao's technique remained swift, accurate, and ruthless. Combined with her examination, she conducted a more comprehensive treatment of Gu Dongguo's leg injuries and other chronic ailments, which meant a more intense and painful bone-setting treatment.
Lu Zhanming sat on the chair next to him, slowly sipping the cup of spiritual spring water that Gu Baobao had conjured up again, watching Gu Dongguo grinning and grimacing.
The miserable state of wanting to scream but being afraid of being embarrassed and only being able to groan, made the little shadow in my heart caused by the pain of bone setting inexplicably dissipate a lot, and even... I felt like laughing a little?
Well, it seems he's not the only one suffering this sweet torment.
However, looking at Gu Baobao's focused and serious profile, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and seeing how hard she was working for them, Lu Zhanming felt nothing but heartache and tenderness.
His little girl has really gone to great lengths for them.
After Gu Dongguo had also undergone a brutal ordeal, lying drenched in sweat on the bed, too exhausted to even move a finger, Gu Baobao finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Alright, bro. You should have some water too."
She fed the magical spring water she had conjured to Gu Dongguo's mouth.
Gu Dongguo drank it listlessly, and he also felt that magical power repairing his body and relieving the pain.
Looking at the two men, one sprawled on the bed and the other sitting in a chair, both looking disheveled but with clear eyes and noticeably improved complexions, Gu Baobao nodded in satisfaction.
Her fellow patients have finally recovered some of their physical health.
Next, she would help them disguise themselves, and then... begin her new life on the island, as well as her research and teaching plans!
As for that shadowy figure lurking in the dark, filled with resentment?
Gu Baobao doesn't have time to think about it right now.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
With a spiritual spring, medical skills, a system, and these two reliable allies, she believed that she could live a wonderful life in this era.
However, she didn't notice that Lu Zhanming's gaze towards her, after experiencing the shock of the miracle and the excruciating bone-setting, not only did not fade, but became even more profound and focused, with the emotions surging within it almost overflowing.
His little girl was indeed a treasure trove; every time he got closer, he became more and more infatuated and determined to have her.
While enjoying the comfort brought by the spiritual spring water, Gu Dongguo's mind was also racing:
[Grandma... Fifth Uncle... Come quick! If you don't keep a close eye on her, our precious little fairy is going to be taken away, pot and all!!!!]
