Chapter 22

【Mutter the Saito website three times, do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "You guys go wash your faces quickly, it won't be comfortable when the oil dries."

Upon hearing this, Du Mengnan and the others immediately reacted, screaming as they rushed into Zhao Xinyu's room. They were all beauty-conscious, but now they were in this state....

After about ten minutes, Du Mengnan and the other five came out of the room. Zhao Xinyu noticed that Yu Mo, who had been very lively earlier, was now looking down, seemingly troubled by something.

After applying a layer of seasoning, Zhao Xinyu smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Yu Mo? Didn't she get enough to eat?"

Du Mengnan kicked him, "Don't talk nonsense. Yu Mo had an accident a few years ago."

The next moment, Du Mengnan seemed to think of something. She glanced at Zhao Xinyu and then turned to look at Yu Mo, "Yu Mo, this guy used to have many scars on his face, and half of his face was black. He has a recipe that might help your face return to its original state."

Yu Mo's delicate body trembled. She looked up at Zhao Xinyu, her eyes brimming with tears, and a glimmer of hope shone in them. Zhao Xinyu also noticed the light, pale black scar on Yu Mo's face.

Thinking about the effect of the water from his space, Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly and handed his cheap phone to Du Mengnan, "Go and show Yu Mo what I used to look like."

Yu Mo and the others looked with curiosity. When they saw the photo of Zhao Xinyu right after he was discharged from the hospital, their eyes were filled with shock. They couldn't believe that the guy who was now making them barbecue was the same ugly person in the photo.

"Zhao Xinyu, can I really recover?"

"Probably, if I could recover from that, your scars should be gone in about a month," Zhao Xinyu said softly.

"You guys don't know, he was the only survivor in last year's serial killer case. When he was sent to the hospital, the doctors had already given up on him, but he survived. They even said he would be permanently disabled, but look at his legs now."

When Du Mengnan said this, Yu Mo and the others were filled with astonishment. "Zhao Xinyu, who gave you the prescription?"

Du Mengnan giggled, "He's a student of traditional Chinese medicine. He treated himself, so if you have any minor illnesses in the future, just come to him."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "I've become a miracle doctor. The wild rabbit is ready, get the plates."

When Han Li and the others returned to the courtyard, Du Mengnan and the six of them had already eaten a wild rabbit and three wild chickens. Knowing how much they had eaten, Du Mengnan and the others were amazed, but they knew it was because the wild chicken and rabbit that Zhao Xinyu had barbecued were so delicious.

They wanted to introduce Zhao Xinyu to Han Li and the others, but when they saw Han Li and the others return, they got up to say goodbye.

After Du Mengnan and the others left, Han Li hugged Zhao Xinyu, "Boss, you have Du Mengnan, can you introduce me to one of the others?"

Zhao Xinyu's face turned dark, and he pushed Han Li away without a word. In his heart, he knew that the friends of Du Mengnan, who could afford to drive a luxury car, were all wealthy or noble. How could they be interested in them, who were just poor guys? Besides, he and Du Mengnan had no relationship, and he was still single. Even if he did, he would keep it for himself.

"Xinyu, that girl is really nice. I see that she's quite familiar with you, seize the opportunity," Han Tianliang said with a smile.

"Grandpa Han, don't listen to Han Li's nonsense, there's nothing going on."

"Just admit it. How many times has Du Mengnan come here? If there's nothing between you two, who would believe it?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head and ignored them, starting to barbecue for them....

When it was time to eat, Han Li and the others were even more enthusiastic. The remaining wild chickens and rabbits almost all ended up in their stomachs.

"Xinyu, your cooking and barbecue skills are amazing. If you opened a small restaurant, it would definitely be popular," Han Tianliang said after tasting the wild chicken and rabbit that Zhao Xinyu had barbecued.

Zhao Xinyu smiled bitterly. He knew his cooking skills were good enough to run a small restaurant, but he had his own reasons. Although his cooking was good, he didn't want to become a chef. He wanted to fulfill his grandfather's wish, which was why he had chosen to deliver food and collect waste instead of applying for a chef job.

But things often went against his wishes. His favorite field of traditional Chinese medicine was gradually moving away from him, and now he had become a genuine farmer.

"Grandpa Han, let's talk about this later."

Han Tianliang sighed. He could tell from Zhao Xinyu's words that he didn't want to become a chef. Considering the income from the vegetables Zhao Xinyu was growing and the leisure time he had, he didn't say anything more.

After Han Tianliang and the others left, Zhao Xinyu barbecued the remaining wild rabbit for himself and Heifeng, and they both had a hearty meal.

After cleaning up, he suddenly thought of the scar on Yu Mo's face. He quickly mixed the herbs he had bought but hadn't used yet. However, he smiled bitterly, as he didn't even have Du Mengnan's phone number, despite being friends with them.

But just as Zhao Xinyu was watering the vegetables, Du Mengnan and the others returned. As soon as they entered, they asked about the prescription, clearly coming specifically for Yu Mo's scar.

Knowing the effect of the water from his space, Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "I can give you the prescription, but the process of making it is quite complicated. If the heat isn't controlled properly, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Yu Mo was slightly taken aback, "You mean, you can help me?"

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "I've already mixed the herbs. I'll go and make the ointment and decoction for you."

As Zhao Xinyu said, they watched him make the ointment repeatedly. Not only Yu Mo, but even Du Mengnan and the others felt overwhelmed.

As the ointment was almost ready, Zhao Xinyu started making the decoction, first having Yu Mo drink it.

After drinking it, Yu Mo frowned, "Zhao Xinyu, it doesn't seem to have any effect."

Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but laugh, "Traditional Chinese medicine is slower than Western medicine. Even if you took Western medicine now, it wouldn't show immediate results. The effect will come after you apply the ointment."

About ten minutes later, Zhao Xinyu handed the ointment to Du Mengnan, asking her to help apply it to Yu Mo's face, not just the scarred side but the entire face.

After applying the ointment, Zhao Xinyu smiled and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"It feels cool. The scarred area is hot and a bit painful."

Zhao Xinyu felt relieved. Yu Mo had been injured for a long time, and although the water from his space was effective, he was still worried it might not work. Hearing Yu Mo's words, he knew the ointment and decoction were effective. Even if the scar couldn't be completely removed, it would at least be significantly reduced.

Hearing this, Liu Ruoxi's eyes lit up, "Zhao Xinyu, can you help me? I've been feeling very tired and lack energy lately."

Zhao Xinyu smiled, "Let me take your pulse, but don't blame me if I'm wrong."

Liu Ruoxi giggled and extended her arm to Zhao Xinyu. Zhao Xinyu chuckled and placed one finger on her wrist, which surprised Du Mengnan and the others.

Although they weren't very familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, they knew that doctors usually used three fingers to take a pulse. Zhao Xinyu using only one finger was a complete departure from their understanding of pulse diagnosis.

After a moment, Zhao Xinyu took his hand back, "There's nothing serious. Don't stay up so late in the future. You were probably soaked in cold water when you were young, and you have menstrual cramps every month, which is due to the cold and dampness entering your body at that time."

"Ahh," Liu Ruoxi's face turned bright red. She indeed had menstrual cramps every month, and they were quite severe. This was something she wouldn't normally talk about, especially to a young man of her age, which made her feel embarrassed.

She had seen many doctors, but none of them had helped. What surprised her even more was that Zhao Xinyu mentioned that she had been soaked in cold water when she was young, something she had almost forgotten.

When she was young, she had been playing and accidentally fell into a lake. If there hadn't been someone nearby, she might not have survived. After that incident, she felt that her body was not quite right, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

She had seen many doctors, but none of them had mentioned this. Today, a young man of her age had pointed it out, which left her astonished.

"Can it be treated?" Liu Ruoxi asked softly, lowering her head.

"Yes, with acupuncture and decoctions. We need to expel the cold and dampness from your body."

"Quick, treat me," thinking about the upcoming period, Liu Ruoxi didn't want to endure the pain again.

Zhao Xinyu chuckled and quickly wrote a prescription, looking at Du Mengnan, "Help her get a seven-day supply, and I'll do the acupuncture."

After Du Mengnan left, Liu Ruoxi's face turned red again. She asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Do I need to take off my clothes?"

When she said this, Yu Mo and the others burst into laughter, making Liu Ruoxi even more embarrassed.

"No, just lie on the bed. It will take about half an hour."

When Liu Ruoxi lay on the bed, Zhao Xinyu looked at her curvaceous figure and felt a sudden urge, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took out a box of silver needles and disinfected them with alcohol. In the next moment, a series of silver flashes appeared, and before Yu Mo and the others could react, twelve silver needles had already been inserted into Liu Ruoxi's body.

Then they saw Zhao Xinyu quickly tap the end of each needle, causing them to hum. Liu Ruoxi, lying on the bed, suddenly said, "It's so hot."
