Chapter 115 - 112 Unforgettable First Watch of the Night
Li Xianglu returned to her room before she realized her arm was hurting, a burning pain. She carefully took off her cotton-padded jacket and overshirt, rolled up the sleeves of her thermal shirt, and saw that the area around her upper arm joint had turned red. Touching it gingerly, she winced and sharply inhaled out of pain—it was ruthless.
She pulled out a spray can of Dian Nan Bai Medicine from her Storage Ring and sprayed it on her arm while looking in the mirror. A cooling sensation spread instantly, soothing the intense burning pain.
After swallowing a blood circulation pill, she barely managed to pull on her thermal shirt, then put on her cotton-padded jacket and went out.
Grandpa Li had already heard that his granddaughter had been hit with a stick. When he saw her come out, he hurriedly carried over a bowl of Sichuan Cangdang ginseng that he had prepared, urging her to drink it quickly to help with blood circulation and disperse clots, so she would heal faster.
Li Xianglu eyed the soup medicine, which was the same color as the muddy water of the river, and muttered with a bitter face, "Grandpa, are you sure this is drinkable?"
Mr. Li thought for a moment before responding, "It should be fine. These two herbs promote blood circulation. Although they are not mixed with others, the individual properties of them will do the job. Drinking it won’t be an issue, and it will help clear the bruise on your arm."
Li Xianglu smelled it, found the scent peculiar, but drank it anyway to reassure her grandfather.
With her arm injured, she could no longer wrap dumplings, but fortunately, the dumpling fillings were all prepared, and all the dough was mixed and ready; only the wrapping was left. Mr. Li could take care of it, but both were somewhat absent-minded, worried about how Qin Xi was doing.
Although they both knew that Qin Xi was a person who knew when to stop, what if she accidentally went too far and seriously injured someone?
Inside, Grandpa Li was continuously sorting through the various connections he had in the county and province, calculating how to protect this child even if Qin Xi made the worst out of the situation.
If Li Xianglu knew that Grandpa Li’s concern was not about what Qin Xi would do, but how to deal with the aftermath, she would probably jump up in shock.
