In this way, Nangong Zhe spent every day in the medicinal bath and acupuncture treatment.
Slowly, the effects of the medicine came into play. Nangong Zhe's physical fitness began to improve steadily.
Not only strength, but also flexibility, cell activity, and other indicators began to rise. Originally, Nangong Zhe mainly relied on brute force to defeat ten people. At the same time, he also used some speed-type sword techniques. However, the skill-based sword skills had always been a shortcoming for Nangong Zhe.
Because Nangong Zhe did not start practicing from a young age. At the age of 11 or 12, although his muscles and bones were not completely shaped, he was still not as flexible as those who started practicing since childhood.
The medicinal bath prepared by A Weng and the medicinal liquid on the golden needles during acupuncture had greatly stimulated Nangong Zhe's tendons, meridians, and bones that had already been shaped. It made up for Nangong Zhe's original shortcomings.
Moreover, Ah Weng seemed to have developed a prescription to balance his internal strength and sword energy.
In the past few days, Nangong Zhe's internal strength and sword energy had reached a balance. Without using internal strength and sword energy, Nangong Zhe's signs of being possessed by the devil had stabilized after using the medicinal bath.
"Young man … In the past few days, your physical condition has generally stabilized, right?"
Ah Weng asked after removing the needles from Nangong Zhe.
"Thanks to Ah Weng's tireless efforts in recuperating my body these days, I am indeed much better. Moreover, my mental state is not as irritable as before. "
Nangong Zhe sat up from the bamboo bed, picked up his clothes on the stool next to him, and put them on. After feeling his physical condition, he answered Ah Weng's question.
"Very good, then this will be the last acupuncture treatment I will give you!"
Ah Weng nodded and put away the golden needle in his hand.
The last time? Nangong Zhe was suddenly a little confused. Was Ah Weng going to change the treatment method?
"What do you mean?"
Nangong Zhe asked.
"I've already done all that I can with my medical skills. The effects of those medicinal baths and liquids have already reached their limits. So, there's no point for you to stay here. "
Ah Weng stroked his beard and said indifferently.
"So … whether or not I can break free from this demonic state will depend on my own luck?"
Nangong Zhe mumbled to himself. Then, Nangong Zhe supported himself on the bamboo bed and stood up. He bowed deeply to Ah Weng.
Ah Weng didn't stop Nangong Zhe. He just looked at Nangong Zhe and waited for Nangong Zhe to say something.
"Thank you, sir! Actually, you and I are not related, but Sir has been very considerate of me. If it weren't for Teacher stopping me when I was about to leave, persuading me with reason and emotion, and even explaining the dangers of becoming a demon for me, I wouldn't have been able to escape. My life and my relationship with Mashiro would have been in an unsalvageable situation! "
Looking at Nangong Zhe's current state, Ah Weng didn't say anything. But his eyes were filled with emotions.
If Yun 'er didn't die early, perhaps Ah Weng would have his own children. Presumably, he would have a grandson as old as Nan Gongzhe, right?
"Young man, actually, I have a presumptuous request!"
After hesitating for a long time, Ah Weng finally opened his mouth.
"You're my savior. If you need any help, I'll naturally help. There's no need to say any presumptuous request! "
Nangong Zhe heard Ah Weng's words and quickly agreed.
"I've been studying medicine all my life, so I've long been open to life and death. Life and death is just a way of living, and I'm not that stubborn. But, after all, I'm still living in this world, and there are some things that I can't let go of. " Ah Weng turned around and opened a window in the medicine hut. In the courtyard, Mashiro was playing with Ling 'er.
Nangong Zhe followed Ah Weng's line of sight and saw Ling 'er.
"You're saying?"
Nangong Zhe already had some guesses in his heart.
"That's right. Actually, my time is almost up! At most, I can only struggle at death's door for one or two years … "
Although he was clearly talking about his own life and death, Ah Weng didn't seem to be the least bit strange. Instead, it was as if he was talking about someone else's matter.
"So, you hope that I can take care of Ling 'er?"
Nangong Zhe roughly guessed Ah Weng's meaning.
"Ling 'er and I don't have any blood relations. Back then, I came to this village to practice medicine. There's a huge outbreak of plague here. Nine out of ten houses are empty, and many people have died. The rest of the people also ran away. When I passed by, I wanted to collect some samples to study the characteristics of this plague. I wanted to use my medical skills to eliminate the source of the plague and make this place habitable again. "
"However, when I walked to the door of Ling 'er's old house, I heard a burst of baby crying. Ling 'er's house wasn't in the densely populated part of the village. Instead, it was a bit remote. So when the people in the village fled, they didn't find that there was a baby in this house. "
"So I brought Ling 'er out. I don't know what her real name is. But I saw a string of bells on her hand, so I called her Ling 'er. "
"Over the years, Ling 'er is really like my granddaughter. But the ninja world has always been turbulent! When I was still here, the people of various countries would give me a little face. Plus, the strategic value of this village is not great, so Ling 'er can have a relatively safe living environment. But if I leave, I'm really worried about Ling 'er's safety. You're a Wood leaf ninja, and your strength is also very outstanding. I hope I can entrust Ling 'er to you and let you take good care of her! "
When talking about his own life and death, A 'weng was very indifferent, but when he talked about his concern for Ling' er, his love overflowed. The love and care in each of his fists was truly touching!
"You can rest assured that Ling 'er is your granddaughter. These days, whether it's me or Mashiro, we've been infected by Ling 'er's naive kindness, and we treat her as our own sister. Even without your entrustment, we will do our best to protect Ling 'er! "
When A 'weng heard Nangong Zhe's words, his whole person seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and relaxed a lot.
"With your words, I'm relieved. These years, Ling 'er has accompanied me to treat patients, and can be regarded as a beginner in medical skills. I'll tidy up the books and entrust them to Ling 'er. It can be regarded as a continuation of our lineage. Let Ling 'er also have some skills to eat. "
After that, A 'weng ignored Nangong Zhe. He turned around and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to organize the medical books.
It was such an ordinary scene, but Nangong Zhe didn't know why his heart ached.
