Chapter 510: Superior

Yu Youyao leaned closer to her cousin. “Cousin, the benefits of Myrrh and Frankincense are great. As the foreign country’s medical care is far inferior to ours, they’ve used the effects of Myrrh and Frankincense to the extreme. As long as it’s not a critical disease, ordinary illnesses, such as cold, injuries, and so on can be treated through Myrrh and Frankincense. They have a wide range of uses, so they are treated as divine medicine. As the production of these two ingredients are decent, they’re treated as precious herbal ingredients and came to us through sea trade.”

It was also because of this that she was interested in Myrrh and Frankincense and even spent a lot of effort researching them.

Fortunately, all her efforts were worth it.

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Each place nurtures its own inhabitants. It’s like agarwood. It’s an expensive medicinal ingredient and most incense recipes and prescriptions use this medicinal ingredient.”

The cold-repelling incense was made of agarwood.

Yu Youyao agreed deeply. “I found out in the medical book that using Myrrh to brew wine, it can help to strengthen Qi and circulate blood. It can also reduce the cold and dissipate pain. It is as effective as the ointment. I followed the recipe and brewed some. It will take another three days before it can be drunk. ”

By consuming the medicine internally and using it externally, her cousin’s leg will definitely get better.

Not long after, Chang An brought the medicine bag over.

As long as the medicine packet was placed in water and boiled, it could be used after drying for a while when the temperature was suitable.

Zhou Linghuai took off his shoes and socks, lifted his inner leggings, and

soaked his legs in the wooden bucket.

His leg was very red and swollen. After being properly taken care of for more than half a year, it did not look as dry as before, but it was still so thin that it made one’s heart ache.

Tears welled up in her eyes!

Yu Youyao wiped it casually and held back her tears. However, her voice was hoarse and trembling, making it hard for others to bear. “Did Uncle Sun say when your leg will completely recover?

Zhou Linghuai’s gaze darkened. “Two years at most!”

When Yu Youyao heard this, her eyes turned red again. She sniffed hard and said in a low voice, “It’s still going to take so long. Is Uncle Sun even reliable…”

It wasn’t that she had underestimated Uncle Sun, but sometimes, he was really quite unreliable.

Previously, the Essence Protection Pill was only made after her reminder.

Zhou Linghuai stroked the top of her head. “Even if he’s not reliable, don’t I still have you? The medicinal oil that Cousin made previously healed my leg a lot. I think the effect of the ointment will be even better.”

He already knew that Yu Youyao understood his personality and would not fall for his evasive approach, so he comforted her in another way.

Indeed!

Yu Youyao, who had been a little dejected just now, immediately perked up.

“You are right. Cousin, use the ointment and the medicinal wine brewed with

Myrrh first. If it doesn’t work, I can modify a better prescription.” The success of the ointment undoubtedly gave her great confidence.

“Okay!” Zhou Linghuai smiled.

The young lady squatted in front of him and took a handkerchief. She carefully wiped his leg, as if she was afraid of hurting him. Then, she gently massaged his leg according to the acupoint massage method she had learned from Nanny Xu.

He could already feel some sensation in his leg. After being massaged by her, he felt that his entire leg was sore, numb, and painful.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair. Only then did he barely control his trembling body and swallow the moan that was about to reach his mouth.

However, in this way, his breathing inevitably became heavier.

“Cousin, you have to relax. Don’t tense up.”

In the past half a year, Yu Youyao had not often massaged her cousin’s legs. Occasionally, she would do it. She was much more familiar with the technique and was no longer as inexperienced and strenuous as the first time.

The force gradually increased from slow to fast, and then to light and heavy.

After a while, Zhou Linghuai’s breathing became tighter and tighter. Soon, he snorted softly and couldn’t help but say, “Cousin, that’s enough.”

He was worried that if this continued, he would definitely lose his composure on the spot. Although this was nothing, he did not want her to see him lose control and be in a sorry state.

Yu Youyao pinched her cousin’s leg. It was not as swollen and stiff as before, so she lifted his leg and placed it on the small stool. She took a dry towel and wiped it clean.

“After the massage, the meridians in your leg are relaxed. I’ll give you some ointment. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in advance.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded in agreement.

Yu Youyao picked up a spoonful of red ointment and rubbed it in her hand. She applied it evenly on his legs and massaged his acupuncture points again.

Not long after, Zhou Linghuai felt that something was different.

His leg was hot and spicy. It was as if he had eaten a handful of peppercorns. It was pungent and numb, burning his throat until it burned into his bones. His swollen and painful leg suddenly felt much easier.

Half an incense stick of time had passed. Zhou Linghuai’s face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and there was bean-sized sweat on his forehead.

He clenched his fists tightly. The veins on the armrest of the wheelchair bulged out, and the intersecting meridians and blood vessels on the back of his hand could be seen.

Yu Youyao pushed the ointment while paying attention to her cousin’s condition. Seeing her cousin’s huge reaction, she was a little worried. “Are you feeling unwell?”

If she had known, she would have used the ointment without the spiritual dewdrop on her cousin first.

After there were no problems, she would then try to use the ointment with the spiritual dewdrop. Only after confirming that the ointment had a good effect on her cousin, she would increase the use of the spiritual dewdrop.

Zhou Linghuai opened his mouth and snorted softly. He barely held back the

moan that followed. “The ointment is indeed very effective. It’s the first time I’m using it, but I can feel that the pain has lessened a lot. The reaction is probably a little stronger since it’s the first time. It’s fine. Don’t be nervous.”

Myrrh was an antidote for pain, and Frankincense was used to circulate blood. Yu Youyao said that this medicine was extremely good and was correct about his leg disease. He believed her, but also not too much.

However, after using it, he realized that this medicine was far better than he had imagined.

This could only mean that Yu Youyao had spent a lot of effort on the ointment.

Yu Youyao relaxed a lot and finally smiled. “Cousin, you’re sweating a lot. Unbutton your cloak a little to dissipate the sweat so that it won’t enter your body and chill your body.”

Zhou Linghuai did as he was told.

When the incense stick was gone, Yu Youyao’s hands were sore. She quickly helped her cousin wrap up his leg, put down his pants, and was about to help him put on socks…

Zhou Linghuai took the sock from her hand. “I’ll do it myself.”

Yu Youyao did not insist. She asked Chun Xiao to bring hot water over. She cleaned her hands and applied flower dew on them before applying goat’s milk cream.

Thinking of the snake oil her cousin had given her just now, Yu Youyao took it out of her purse and applied a layer of snake oil. Her hands felt much fresher now..
