The next morning, Jiang Wan was woken up by Chen Yuezhi.
"Mom, what is it? I'm so sleepy."
Chen Yuezhi said, "Your Grand-Master mentioned you yesterday. I thought I'd bring you along to keep him company."
Jiang Wan rubbed her eyes and got up. Not having slept enough, she had no appetite for breakfast. After changing her clothes, she slumped onto Chen Yuezhi's shoulder and fell back into a deep sleep.
Chen Yuezhi couldn't bear to wake her, so she let her sleep. She packed breakfast into a food box, took it, and got into the carriage.
The carriage swayed for half an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain where the medical clinic was located.
By then, many people seeking medical help had already gathered at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Pan parked the carriage by the roadside, took Jiang Wan from Chen Yuezhi, and carried her up the mountain.
Upon seeing the little chubby girl on Jiang Pan's shoulder, Divine Doctor Jin was a little displeased. "The child isn't even awake, and you brought her along?"
Jiang Wan groggily sat up, looked at Divine Doctor Jin with sleepy eyes, and waved her chubby little paws. "Grand-Master, good morning."
After speaking, she buried her head on Jiang Pan's shoulder and continued to sleep.
Divine Doctor Jin felt something strike his heart, and his voice involuntarily softened. "Why don't you quickly take the little girl to the back? Is it comfortable sleeping on your shoulder like that?"
Jiang Pan quickly carried the child into the back room where Divine Doctor Jin rested. There was a comfortable low couch there.
The moment Jiang Wan touched the couch, she involuntarily turned over, spread her limbs, and fell into a deep sleep again, not caring at all if her sleeping posture was elegant.
Divine Doctor Jin, who had followed, looked at the little person who was like a ball of dough with eyes full of affection. He personally brought a thin blanket to cover her, then habitually took the little girl's wrist to check her pulse.
"Not bad, you certainly know how to raise a child."
The little one's pulse was steady and strong, indicating she had never been wanting since childhood.
When Jiang Wan woke up, she found herself in a very unfamiliar room. The air was filled with the scent of medicine, which immediately told her where she was.
She climbed up from the low couch, preparing to go out and find her Grand-Master. However, just as she reached the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
Yan Li and Gu Chenzhou were momentarily stunned to see Jiang Wan in the room, thinking they had come to the wrong place.
Jiang Wan was also taken aback but quickly reacted, greeting them with a smile. "Hello, little brothers."
The master and disciple walked past her without a word and went straight into the room, finding a place to sit.
Jiang Wan decided not to leave and returned, settling back onto the low couch, stroking her chin as she scrutinized them.
These two seemed very familiar with her Grand-Master, otherwise, why would they enter and exit so casually?
The master and disciple were also sizing her up, wondering how this little girl ended up in Divine Doctor Jin's room.
Just then, Divine Doctor Jin hurried over.
He ran while feeling annoyed. He was getting old and forgetful. Today was the day he had arranged to meet that master and disciple. For this, he had specifically sent away all the servants in the courtyard, only to forget about it himself.
He hoped they hadn't arrived yet, or that the little girl wasn't awake.
However, upon entering the room, he saw the three of them staring at each other. Divine Doctor Jin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
But he quickly concealed his expression and asked Jiang Wan with a smile, "Little girl, have you had enough sleep?"
Jiang Wan nodded obediently. "Grand-Master, you have guests."
Divine Doctor Jin ruffled her hair. "Mm, then why don't you wait outside for Grand-Master?"
Jiang Wan cooperatively jumped off the low couch and skipped away. At the door, she looked back at Gu Chenzhou and said, "Little brother, can you give me a ride when you go back later?"
Gu Chenzhou turned his head away, silently refusing.
Jiang Wan pouted. Just you wait, one day you'll be begging me!
After she left, Yan Li asked, "Old Jin, how did that little girl end up with you?"
Divine Doctor Jin raised an eyebrow. "You know each other?"
Yan Li nodded. "Her family is now our neighbor. Furthermore, General Gu's two horses were found and healed by her family."
Divine Doctor Jin was a little surprised. "Such a coincidence?!"
Yan Li's mouth twitched.
"The little girl's mother is my newly accepted last disciple. She is now my grand-disciple."
Yan Li's mouth twitched even more. This was truly a coincidence.
Divine Doctor Jin waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this. Come, Chenzhou, let me see how your injury has recovered."
Gu Chenzhou handed over his hand.
A moment later, Divine Doctor Jin stroked his beard and nodded. "The internal injuries have almost healed. I'll prescribe two more doses of medicine to consolidate your foundation. Don't rush into practicing martial arts yet; rest for a few more days."
Yan Li said, "Old Jin, Chenzhou had an episode a few days ago, but he recovered very quickly this time, in less than half an hour. Do you think his condition is improving?"
Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Jin quickly grabbed Gu Chenzhou's hand again and examined him carefully.
After examining him for a while, he couldn't figure anything out. "His illness is a psychological one. When he's not having an episode, he's no different from a normal person. The next time he has an episode, bring him to me, and I'll personally assess the situation before making a conclusion."
After writing the prescription, Divine Doctor Jin sent the two of them away without dispensing the medicine.
When he came out of the courtyard and returned to the front hall, he saw Jiang Wan squatting seriously in the corner, looking at the few sickly-looking medicinal herbs.
"Little girl, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Wan pointed to the herbs in the pot. "Grand-Master, what are these? Why are they growing so poorly?"
Divine Doctor Jin said, "These are rare medicinal herbs from the Western Regions. I shamelessly asked the Emperor for them when I retired. I originally intended to cultivate them, but these Western Region herbs don't adapt well to our climate and have always looked like this."
"It's a pity. These herbs are extremely rare and possess powerful effects. If they could be successfully cultivated, it would be a great benefit to the people."
Jiang Wan's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this. "Grand-Master, I have a way to make them thrive, and to ensure they reproduce generation after generation, infinitely!"
Divine Doctor Jin didn't believe her. "You're a little girl who can't even distinguish between grass and medicine, how would you know how to grow medicinal herbs?"
"I really can!" Jiang Wan said earnestly. "Grand-Master, just give me one pot, and within ten days, I'll return a pot to you that looks ten times better than this. How about it?"
Divine Doctor Jin took it as a child's playful whim. Looking at the dying herbs, thinking they would die sooner or later anyway, he nodded. "Alright, you can have one, but you have to promise me one thing."
