An hour later, Mr. Ren came over, happily carrying a bowl of herbal medicine and calling out loudly.
"Jiaojiao, Fang Yu, the medicine is ready! Just as you instructed, Jiaojiao, I simmered three bowls of water down to one."
Gu Jiaojiao had just finished removing the silver needles. "You're amazing, Grandfather! Let's go wait in the courtyard. He can drink it once it cools down a bit."
Ren Fangyu gazed at the bowl of pitch-black medicine with anticipation. No matter how it tasted, he would drink every last drop.
"Cousin, are you feeling a little more comfortable?"
"After three treatments with the silver needles, I feel much better," Ren Fangyu answered honestly.
"Okay, go boil a bucket of water now and let it cool. You might need to take a bath after you drink the medicine."
"Okay, I'll go boil the water now." With that, Ren Fangyu left.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to check on the kitchen. Your cousin probably doesn't know how to start a fire."
