After Leng Ruoli finished administering the antibiotic to the old woman, she prescribed several packets of cough medicine and antipyretic analgesics for her to take.
At this moment, someone knocked on the old woman's door from outside. Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Chu Mingxuan walking into the room.
"Consort, how is the old woman? Do you need any help?" Chu Mingxuan glanced at the old woman sleeping on the bed and then asked Leng Ruoli.
Actually, Chu Mingxuan had also heard the old woman's cough earlier, but being a guest, he did not immediately follow the old man out. Instead, he quietly listened to the sounds from the old woman's room.
However, when he did not see the Cold King and his consort return to the room where they were staying, he guessed that Leng Ruoli must have stepped in to treat the old woman.
"Currently, I don't need your help. I have already finished administering the medicine to the old woman," Leng Ruoli said calmly.
"The old woman coughed so severely; she must have lung disease, right?" Chu Mingxuan asked casually.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoli nodded slightly.
At this moment, the old man also brought the congee he had cooked into the old woman's room.
"Old grandpa, I have already given the old woman medicine. These packets of medicine are prescribed separately. The paper contains small pills, and you don't need to decoct them. You just need to prepare a cup of plain boiled water and let her take the medicine on time. Within half a month, the old woman's illness will be cured," Leng Ruoli instructed the old man.
"Good, good, good. Thank you, young lady, for saving my wife's life."
The old man was so moved that he could not express his feelings, almost wanting to kneel before Leng Ruoli and kowtow. However, he was quickly supported by Leng Ruoli.
"Old grandpa, you don't have to do this. Saving lives and helping the injured is my duty as a physician," Leng Ruoli said calmly.
"Young lady, with such kindness, you will have good fortune your whole life," the old man said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoli smiled faintly.
"Oh, since the old woman is asleep, I will feed her later. Young lady, young master, please go to the house over there to eat." The old man said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Leng Ruoli and the others politely declined.
Immediately, Leng Ruoli remembered something else.
"Old grandpa, although the old woman's lung disease is not severe, I cannot guarantee that it is not contagious. I should give you a vaccination. Chu Mingxuan and Yin Chen will also need to be vaccinated to prevent them from contracting this lung disease," Leng Ruoli said seriously.
Although the old man and Chu Mingxuan did not understand what the vaccine Leng Ruoli mentioned was, they looked at Leng Ruoli's clear, bright, and beautiful eyes and did not ask any questions.
Fearing that the two would be scared, Leng Ruoli asked the old man and Chu Mingxuan to close their eyes and quickly administered an injection. Then, she also administered an injection to Yin Chen and the other two who were in another room.
"Consort, what kind of water was in that white tube with an embroidery needle that you were holding just now?" Chu Mingxuan asked with great curiosity.
When he and the old man were getting their injections, Leng Ruoli had asked them to close their eyes. But now, when she was injecting Yin Chen and the other two, he had seen the tools Leng Ruoli used to inject them very clearly.
Fortunately, Leng Ruoli had asked him and the old man to close their eyes before injecting them. Otherwise, he would have felt queasy just watching Leng Ruoli inject him.
At night, to facilitate taking care of his wife, the old man went to the old woman's room early after dinner to look after her.
Leng Ruoli had also specifically instructed Yin Chen and Yin Yi to hide in the corners of the old woman's room to protect the old couple, as they were certain that someone would come to assassinate them that night, which was why they made such arrangements. The four of them rested in the room they were staying in during the day.
In the latter half of the night, after sleeping for a while, Leng Ruoli and the others heard movement in the courtyard.
A group of men in black, divided into two groups stealthily, went to the old woman's room, while the other group went to the room where the four of them were staying. It was exactly as they had guessed that these people would divide into two groups because anyone could guess that not all of them would live in the same room.
When Leng Ruoli and the four of them heard these people getting closer to the room where they were resting, they immediately prepared to draw their swords. Leng Ruoli took a mini pistol from her sleeve, fitted it with a silencer, and aimed it at the room's entrance.
Immediately, the door of the house where Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan were staying was kicked open by the men in black.
However, before the men in black could react, they were sent flying by a palm strike formed by Jun Mohan's large hand.
In an instant, the men in black were sent flying by the palm strike and crashed heavily onto the ground in the courtyard, emitting continuous screams.
Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan, along with the other two, immediately flashed out. Holding their swords, they lightly slashed at the necks of the men in black lying on the ground.
Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan eliminated more than half of the enemies in one go, and then they quickly went to reinforce Yin Chen and Yin Yi, whose fight was also very fierce.
However, with the addition of Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan, Yin Chen and Yin Yi quickly eliminated more than half of that group of men in black.
But at this moment, a masked man in black, holding a dagger, put it to the old man's neck and slowly walked out, grabbing the old man's collar.
"You all stop! Otherwise, I'll kill this old man," the man in black shouted at Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan.
"Yu Chengli, for the sake of our twenty years of master-disciple relationship, I advise you not to commit any more evil deeds," the old man said with a look of disappointment.
"Hmph! You old good-for-nothing, back then I asked you to lend me a hand to stabilize my position in the Jade Merchants Association, why didn't you help me?" Yu Chengli said with resentment.
"Wicked disciple, I taught you from childhood that learning the art of jade carving cannot be rushed or be too eager for quick success. But you just wouldn't listen. As a result, you didn't learn carving well and secretly ran out to learn bad habits from others," the old man said with a heavy heart.
"Hmph! Was it that I was too eager for quick success and too impatient, or were you too selfish to teach me your true skills? I studied carving with you for over ten years, yet you made me pick jade for you every day," Yu Chengli said coldly.
"Didn't I tell you? To learn carving well, you must first learn to select materials. If you can't even select materials, how can you learn carving?" the old man said helplessly.
