188 You Can Hear This?

Hearing that Shen Yao’s leg would recover in three months, Zhao Lanhua’s excitement was obvious. “Ah Tao, can that person really treat my son’s leg?”

Zhao Lanhua was really worried that they would have false hope!

“Mother, I think we have to have confidence in Immortal Crane!” Ji Zhao quickly encouraged her. “Also, we have to believe in Shen Yao. As long as he can actively cooperate with Immortal Crane to treat him, I think his leg illness will definitely recover!”

“Yes! You’re right! No matter what the outcome is, we have to have hope!” Zhao Lanhua said with a smile. “Ah Tao, we’re almost done wrapping the wontons. Shouldn’t we start a fire?”

“Yes, thank you, Mother!”

At a quarter past seven in the morning, everyone except Second Sister-in-law Shen, who was still in recovering, sat around the table in the central room.

In front of everyone was a bowl of fragrant seaweed shrimp wontons!

Apart from that, Ji Zhao also made some pot stickers.

Just as the Shen family was about to put down the bowls, Immortal Crane arrived late.

“This fragrance is too tempting.”

In the past, Immortal Crane would sleep until late in the morning. Even if the gods came, he would never wake up early!

But today, he made an exception.

The Shen family’s breakfast was simply too fragrant.

After Immortal Crane had his fill, he raised his chin at Shen Yao. “Follow me.”

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and went over as well.

“Senior, I was worried that you weren’t full, so I specially prepared an extra serving of red bean pastry for you,” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

“Alright, sit down and listen together.”

“Thank you, Senior!”

Immortal Crane was silent for several minutes before his gaze finally landed on Shen Yao’s face.

“If you don’t use the numbing medicine, you’ll definitely have to endure the pain of your bones being broken. Have you really made your choice?” Immortal Crane confirmed again, “I originally wanted to wait for someone to deliver the numbing medicine before treating your injured leg. Of course, if you’ve already decided not to use the numbing medicine, I can start treating you this afternoon.”

“I believe in you. If enduring the pain can resolve it once and for all, then why should I use the numbing medicine?” Shen Yao smiled and asked softly.

“Not many people in the world can withstand the pain. If you insist on not using the numbing medicine, you have to sign a statement first. This way, even if you die from the pain during the treatment, I won’t have to take responsibility.” Immortal Crane suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him. “Look at it carefully. If there’s no problem, sign your name on the bottom right corner.”

“I’ll go back to sleep first. You have to give me an answer before noon.”

“…Okay.”

Ji Zhao felt like her head was about to explode when she saw the densely packed notes.

However, when she thought about how Shen Yao had to endure the pain of having his bone removed, she could not help but feel her heart ache.

“Why do you insist on not using the numbing medicine?” Ji Zhao glanced sideways at the silent Shen Yao and asked with concern, “I don’t want you to take the risk.”

“I don’t want to leave any symptoms behind.” Shen Yao slowly looked up and reached out to caress her little face. He chuckled and said, “Ah Tao, I hope I can recover.”

He wanted to stay by Ah Tao’s side as her husband.

He did not want Ah Tao to endure the strange gazes of others in the future.

More importantly, he hoped that he could recover. Even if he only had a 10% chance, he would try his best!

“I will accompany you,” Ji Zhao said firmly.

“Mm.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Immortal Crane was not surprised to know Shen Yao’s final decision.

In his eyes, although Shen Yao was crippled, his eyes were filled with ambition.

Moreover, although he had not participated in the imperial examination, he had already obtained the favor of that master.

In the future, if he was willing to continue choosing the path of imperial examinations, he would naturally soar!

Of course, this was all in the future. There was no need to mention it for the time being.

Ji Zhao hoped that Immortal Crane could let Shen Yao suffer as little as possible, so she specially sent a few sweet and sour dishes over for lunch.

Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, honeyed lotus root, and braised pork.

In the end, Immortal Crane expressed his satisfaction with his actions.

After noon, Immortal Crane gave Ji Zhao another piece of paper.

“In an hour, prepare everything on it.” Finally, he walked back to his room to take an afternoon nap.

“You sleep after you eat, eat after you sleep. Why aren’t you fat at all?” Ji Zhao looked at the thin back and muttered softly.

“I’m a divine doctor. I naturally have a good way to maintain my thin body!”

“You can hear that?” Ji Zhao exclaimed and subconsciously covered her mouth.

“My hearing is very good!”

After Immortal Crane said this arrogantly, he left.

Ji Zhao looked at his back and couldn’t help but have some thoughts.

Actually, she was quite interested in medicine. She had to think of a way to acknowledge him as her master!

“You want to acknowledge Immortal Crane as your master? Beg him to teach you medicine?” After hearing Ji Zhao’s thoughts, Shen Yao was shocked. “Ah Tao, are you serious?”

“Do you think the expression on my face looks like I’m joking?” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly. “Shen Yao, help me think of a good way to make Immortal Crane accept me as his disciple.”

Living in this world, it was always better to learn a few more skills!

“He loves delicious food. Ah Tao, you’re good at cooking. Why don’t you cater to his taste?” Shen Yao thought for a moment and gave a very pertinent suggestion.

“That’s right!” Ji Zhao immediately snapped her fingers and was overjoyed. “I also think that this is a good idea. Let’s do that! But before that, we have to split up and prepare the items on this.”

“The things here aren’t difficult. But these two herbs written at the end.” Ji Zhao pointed at the bottom of the paper and scratched her head anxiously. “What herbs are the Snow Grass and Dragon Bone?”

She had never heard of it before!

“Ah Tao, don’t be anxious.” Shen Yao quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her gently.

“No, we can’t waste any more time!” Ji Zhao made a prompt decision and asked Zhao Lanhua to bring Shen Yao to prepare other things. She returned to the kitchen and picked up a plate of snowflake pastry. She turned around and knocked on Immortal Crane’s door.

“Senior, I specially made snowflake pastries. They taste very good. Do you want to try them?”

“Bring it in!” Immortal Crane, who was writing prescriptions, replied.

After tasting the unique snowflake pastry, Immortal Crane went straight to the point and asked, “Did you encounter any difficulties?”

“Senior, can you tell me what dragon bone and snow grass are?” Ji Zhao asked sincerely. “Also, where are we going to find these two medicinal herbs?”
