The next day, when Qin Shaofeng got up, Old Master Liu had already left.
The people of Yanhuo Village knew Old Master Liu had left, but nobody thought much of it.
This sort of thing was quite common.
Over the years, Old Master Liu had often left Yanhuo Village for a while to gather medicinal herbs, sometimes for just three or five days, other times for as long as three months.
And this time, with Qin Shaofeng, a physician, around, the villagers wouldn't have to worry about being without a medicine maker, even if Old Master Liu was gone for a long while.
It wasn't that the people of Yanhuo Village no longer worried about Old Master Liu. They had simply grown used to this sort of thing.
On the day Old Master Liu left, Liu Xiaowan didn't come out of her room once.
Qin Shaofeng knew why.
Although this wasn't the first time Old Master Liu had gone out alone, this time he seemed likely to be gone for quite a while.
A year or two!
Old Master Liu had probably explained everything to Liu Xiaowan the night before. Now the little girl was feeling down.
But once the day had passed, Liu Xiaowan appeared before Qin Shaofeng again. There wasn't the slightest trace of sadness on her face, and she seemed to have returned to her usual self.
But Qin Shaofeng could tell that a trace of sadness still lingered in the girl's eyes.
That told Qin Shaofeng that Old Master Liu's long journey this time probably wasn't as simple as taking care of one matter.
Qin Shaofeng suspected that even if Old Master Liu hadn't spelled things out to Liu Xiaowan, he must have entrusted her with many things.
And those instructions had probably left Liu Xiaowan
