Charred

They climbed directly up the mountain behind them and saw Liu Xiuyuan sitting on the ground with a dark expression.

Zhou Wanwan patted his shoulder, and he trembled in fright, saying, "Master, you're finally back! I thought those people were here again!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Liu Xiuyuan:

"They must be foreigners. I don't know what they're using, but they keep throwing rockets at us. Those rockets are incredibly powerful."

Several houses here are on fire, and so are the trees.

Fortunately, you had the people in Luban Village make more than 200 fire extinguishers.

Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy casualties today; even now, two young men are seriously injured.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Take me there to have a look!"

Liu Xiuyuan led her directly into the house. Zhou Wanwan looked at the two young men in front of her, her teeth itching with anger. "This is outrageous! I'd like to see who dares to be so bold."

The two men lay on the bed, their faces and bodies charred and twisted, patches of skin turning outwards.

Even in the best modern medical care, this injury is completely incurable.

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave, before turning to Lingbao and asking, "Tell me... can I use energy on those two?"

Lingbao was taken aback, then quickly shook his head. "Energy should only help plants, it has no effect on human flesh, right?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said:

"I remember there was a book in my family that contained a method for repairing skin and flesh."

I need to think about how to repair skin and flesh using energy.

She frowned, pondering whether there was any way to redirect the plant's energy.

For example, could we find an intermediary to act as a medium? Or could we adjust the method used to activate the energy?

After all, plants and humans are both living things, so perhaps the underlying principles are the same; we just need to find the trick to build that bridge.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to make sense.

"Isn't the essence of all energy the same?"

It's simply... the usage is different...

Perhaps I can use those fresh medicinal herbs that can promote tissue regeneration and improve blood circulation as a transit point!

Her eyes suddenly lit up; plant energy could nourish medicinal herbs, making them more potent—that much was certain.

Once the medicinal herbs have absorbed enough energy, apply them to the wound, ensuring they adhere to the skin and flesh.

Wouldn't the energy then slowly seep into the skin and flesh through the roots and veins of the medicinal herbs?

This is just like using a pipe to draw water; it prevents the energy from being too strong and hurting people, while still allowing spiritual energy to be sent in to heal wounds!

Zhou Wanwan went and collected more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, then applied them all to the two people, saying, "This idea is good, but whether it will actually work, I don't know."

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Zhou Wanwan slowly channeled energy into the medicinal herbs, and at first she didn't feel anything.

But gradually, Zhou Wanwan discovered that the energy of the medicinal herbs applied to their bodies was slowly seeping into their bodies.

Zhou Wanwan called out softly:

"Lingbao, come quick! Does it really work?"

If that's the case, can I use this method for my future treatments?

Simply apply the medicinal herbs to their bodies, and then use energy; the energy will directly enter their bodies.

Lingbao nodded and said, "Really! I just don't know if it can cure them."

Two hours later, Zhou Wanwan finally opened the medicinal herbs.

The person who was burned black all over has now completely recovered their skin.

It's just a bit redder than before.

Zhou Wanwan called out to the Old Scholar Tree outside, "Uncle Scholar Tree, turn them over."

The Old Scholar Tree simply used its roots to turn them over.

Zhou Wanwan then covered their backs with medicinal herbs again, and continued to replenish their energy with these herbs.

It's actually replenishing their energy.

An hour later, Zhou Wanwan brought the medicinal herbs down.

These medicinal herbs contain absolutely no nutritional value.

The nutrients, or rather, all the energy, from the medicinal herbs flowed into their bodies.

Zhou Wanwan woke them up abruptly, saying, "Hey! Wake up, don't sleep."

One of the young men rubbed his eyes and said:

"Master, waaaaah, you're really back? We've been bullied so badly!"

I don't know what weapons they used, but we were all burned.

Another young man burst into tears:

"I was almost scalded to death. When my fiancée saw me, she was so scared that she fainted and even wanted to break off the engagement."

I don't want it to be like this either!

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Your fiancée? Is she also from our mountain stronghold?"

The young man shook his head and said:

"It's not from our mountain village, it's from the neighboring Jujube Grove Village."

However, since we can eat our fill here, I brought her directly to the mountain stronghold.

Little did she know that I was burned like this last night, and when she saw it, she said I was a monster.

She said she didn't want to marry me anymore, and that she wanted to leave.

The young man was crying his heart out. Zhou Wanwan looked at him sympathetically and said, "It's alright, don't cry. Since she doesn't want to stay here, let's send her away!"

The young man looked dejected. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Alright, everything's fine now, you guys should go back to sleep early!"

As for the girl, we'll send her away first thing tomorrow morning. Tell her to pack her things today.

The two returned home dejectedly, while the villagers looked at them as if they had seen a ghost. "Who are you two? How did you manage to break into our village?"

The two young men were completely dumbfounded. Liu Fugui looked at his father and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Don't you know who I am?"

Liu Shugen was also stunned. "Oh right? I am Liu Shugen!"

Liu Fugui's father slapped Liu Fugui across the face and said:

"Bullshit! Who are you? Tell me or not!"

Tie him up, you son of a bitch! How dare you pretend to be my son? Is my son as fair-skinned as you?

Everything's burnt to a crisp today, completely burnt. Do you know what that means?

Look at you, you're so pale!

Liu Shugen let out a loud "Aow!" which frightened the surrounding villagers so much that they trembled.

Liu Shugen looked at Liu Fugui and said, "Why are you so pale? Are you still Liu Fugui? You used to have delicate skin, but you look burnt!"

Liu Fugui, belatedly realizing what had happened, cupped Liu Shugen's face in his hands and exclaimed, "Oh my god, Liu Shugen! You used to be so fair and delicate, how did we both end up like this?"

The two ran straight to the pond and looked at their reflections again and again.

Liu Fugui was overjoyed. "Wow! My skin is so fair, tsk tsk tsk..."

Liu Shugen chuckled as well:

I thought I was never going to live.

We never expected our master to heal us! Our master is truly amazing!

"Fugui, do you still want this marriage?"
