As it turned out, this was medicine that he had made himself? A new thought occurred to Li Man. She grabbed the medicine bottle from it, opened it, brought it to her nose, and sniffed it. “En, it’s quite fragrant. But, how could anyone know if it’s actually effective?”
The old doctor took a deep breath and did his best to suppress the anger in his heart. If he didn’t put a stop to this, he might be angered to death by her. “Rotten brat, this old one will resolve to see this through no matter the cost. I’ll leave the medicine here for him to use. I guarantee that in three days, in only three days, his wound will scab over. If my words are false, you can come to my house to look for me.”
After saying this, he picked up his medicine bag and stormed out.
Li Hua and Li Yan hurriedly followed after him.
“Doctor, we’ll bring you to where you want to go,” said Li Hua politely.
“No thanks.” The old doctor stroked his beard and glowered.
However, once again, Li Yan used brute force to carry the old doctor onto his back. “How could I let you walk? Oh yeah, do you want to go home, or to Chen Village?”
The old man made threatening gestures, but sure enough he still said, “Chen Village. I don’t know if Little Four’s family’s old sow has successfully given birth yet.”

After the others had departed and only three people remained in the hut. Li Mo lightly pinched Little Five’s hand and said, “Little Five, oldest brother is thirsty, go boil some drinking water for me.”
“En.” Little Five immediately agreed and went out.
Only Li Man and Li Mo were left in the room as well as the thick scent of medicine.
Li Man felt a bit hesitant. Should she leave or stay? She could tell that Li Mo wanted to talk to her. She actually had words of her own that she wanted to tell him too, but he was seriously injured…
She decided to wait for an opportune, but just as she was going to leave, he called out to stop her, “Man-er…”
Li Man’s back stiffened when she heard him calling her in such such a soft and light tone. He actually addressed her in that way?
She looked at him with a strained expression. “Yes? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”
Li Mo’s head was resting on his arm. He slightly leaned to the side and said to her, “No, sit down. I have something I want to tell you.”
It was as she had guessed. Li Man paused, but she still picked up the stool in the corner, brought it over, and sat down by the bed, so that he could easily look at her while speaking.
Her silence led Li Mo to have misgivings. However, his misgivings weren’t important. Right now, he just wanted to tell her the truth.
“Man-er, fourth brother told me that you forgot everything after that incident by Goddess’s tree. Is that true?”
“En.” Li Man lowered her eyes and nodded. She had thought he was going to ask her why she had wandered off. She pondered whether or not she should tell him that she knew the truth.
Li Mo’s eyes showed guilt. “I’m sorry. It’s our fault for failing to protect you.”
“No, it’s fine. It’s all in the past.” It was her soul that occupied someone else’s body, so of course she wouldn’t have the original owner’s memories. It wasn’t anyone’s fault.
Li Mo took a deep breath and continued, “Actually, I asked you to stay here because I want to tell you something.”
“What?” Li Man suddenly thought she already knew what he was going to tell her; it was what Mudan had told her.
