Chapter 136: Use form to make up for form
The three of them walked out of the kitchen. Lizi was holding a small box containing pancakes, Xiaohuai was holding a porcelain bowl containing pig's trotter soup, and Tao Qiuyi was holding bowls and chopsticks.

In the room.

Wei Jingyuan had recovered and was reading a medical book in his hand. He looked up when he heard the voice and saw three people walking in one after another, each of them holding something in their hands.

Tao Qiuyi, who was walking at the back, was holding a bowl and chopsticks in his hands, with a helpless and depressed expression. Wei Jingyuan's eyes flashed.

It goes without saying that her younger siblings must have prevented her from carrying heavy things, but she thought she was the strongest but was holding the lightest dishes and chopsticks in her hands, and she was feeling depressed.

"Brother, it's time to eat." Li Zi shouted and put the small frame on the table.

"I'm coming." Wei Jingyuan replied, picking up the crutch beside him as usual. As soon as he stood up, he was stunned. His legs...

Xiao Huai then placed the porcelain basin on the table.

Tao Qiuyi was stunned for a moment when she put down the dishes. The table was clean. She remembered that when she went out, there were piles of melon seeds and shells on the table that had not been cleaned up.

It must have been Wei Jingyuan who cleaned up. After she left, he was the only one in the room. Tao Qiuyi turned to look at Wei Jingyuan and saw him standing there in a daze with a dull expression on his face.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Tao Qiuyi quickly walked to Wei Jingyuan's side, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Jingyuan seemed not to hear her words and stood there motionless.

Xiao Huai noticed something was wrong and quickly came over, "Brother."

"Wei Jingyuan, what's wrong with you?" Tao Qiuyi waved her hand in front of his eyes. Seeing that he still didn't respond, she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Wei Jingyuan, what are you thinking about? Come back to your senses."

His whole body stiffened, and Wei Jingyuan slowly turned his head to look at her. Meeting her worried gaze, his expression changed unpredictably, "My legs..."

"Legs...what's wrong with your legs?" Tao Qiuyi asked while squatting down to check Wei Jingyuan's legs, but Wei Jingyuan grabbed her arms and forced her to stand up.

"What are you doing?" Tao Qiuyi frowned at him.

Wei Jingyuan said: "No need to look, there's nothing wrong with my legs."

After he finished speaking, Wei Jingyuan felt again, but still felt nothing. He thought that the previous moment was really an illusion, and he walked towards the fireplace with his crutches.

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Huai looked at Tao Qiuyi with an inquiring look.

Tao Qiuyi shook his head at Xiao Huai, turned around and looked at Wei Jingyuan's back, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Huai knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law had something to say, but he didn't ask. His elder brother and sister-in-law would naturally say it when it was time. If they didn't say it, it probably meant that the time had not come yet.

Walking back to the table, Xiao Huai helped Li Zi fill each bowl with pig's trotter soup.

When Wei Jingyuan washed his hands and walked back to the table with his crutches to sit down, Tao Qiuyi was already sitting at the table, drinking half a bowl of pig's trotter soup and gnawing on a piece of pig's trotter in his hand.

While chewing on the pig's trotter, Tao Qiuyi praised Li Zi's cooking skills, "Li Zi, the pig's trotter is stewed very well. I'll go to town in a few days to buy another pig's trotter... No, buy four more pig's trotters."

"Sister-in-law, although pig's trotter soup tastes good, you can't drink it every day." Li Zi stared at Tao Qiuyi with wide eyes, a little bit unable to imagine how her sister-in-law would eat the four pig's trotters she bought.

"Pig's feet aren't just for stewing. They're delicious when braised, stewed, or served cold." Tao Qiuyi picked up a large piece of pork foot with chopsticks and placed it in Pear's bowl. "Be good, eat the meat."

Li Zi obediently lowered her head and ate the meat.

She picked up another large piece of meat and put it in Xiao Huai's bowl. When it came to Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi picked up two pieces and put them in his bowl, and said with a smile: "Like replenishes the body, you should eat more." Wei Jingyuan was stunned. Like replenishes the body, so this is why she said she wanted to buy four pig's feet.

"Don't think too much, just eat quickly." Tao Qiuyi urged, picking up a scallion pancake and starting to eat it.

Wei Jingyuan's eyes flashed as he looked at her. For some reason, he had a feeling that she knew everything.

After dinner, Li Zi and Xiao Huai cleaned the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Tao Qiuyi took a wet towel and wiped the table again. There was a fireplace in the room to keep warm, so the table dried quickly.

The herbs in the backpack were placed on the table again. Before Tao Qiuyi could start working, a glass of water was placed in front of her. Following the hand holding the glass, she looked at the owner of the hand and asked, "Anything to say?"

"Yes." Wei Jingyuan nodded affirmatively, and without hesitation, he told her what he felt just before dinner. "The moment I stood up, I felt strength return to my injured leg, but it quickly disappeared."

"When you asked me, I felt it a few more times, but I didn't have any strength at all. I thought it was just an illusion at that moment, maybe because I wanted my leg to heal so badly."

"That's not your illusion." Tao Qiuyi said affirmatively.

"What?" Wei Jingyuan looked at her in surprise.

"That's not your illusion." After repeating it again, Tao Qiuyi explained: "Not only did I increase the dosage of the medicine in the potion I made for you, I also increased the dosage of the medicine you drank."

"That's why it hurts so much when you soak in the medicine. For the next few days, do it three times a day. Be prepared."

Wei Jingyuan opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing and just nodded.

For the next few days, Wei Jingyuan drank medicinal juices, soaked in potions, and applied ointments, repeating the cycle over and over again. Fortunately, he had a great ability to endure pain and managed to endure the inhuman torture.

On the morning of the fifth day, there was no fog, so Tao Qiuyi went to the village entrance early to wait for the oxcart. She saw many people who had arrived earlier than her, including Li Yuegui and Zhou Mei.

Tao Qiuyi has been busy since she traveled here, and she doesn't like dealing with people, so she doesn't really know many people in the village.

Seeing Tao Qiuyi coming, Li Yuegui was about to curse when Zhou Mei next to her elbowed her hard. She tilted her head to look at Zhou Mei. "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Plan." Zhou Mei gritted her teeth and reminded him. This idiot has a good memory but a bad forgetfulness.

Li Yuegui immediately remembered that she had to act nice and waved to Tao Qiuyi, "Qiuyi, come over here and wait for the oxcart."

Tao Qiuyi glanced at her and ignored her.

"Qiuyi, are you going to the market in town today too?" Li Yuegui walked up to Tao Qiuyi with a warm smile. But in her heart, she was thinking, the more Tao Qiuyi ignored her, the more she would take the initiative to get close to him.

Tao Qiuyi was not killed by anger.

Pretend to be a good person. These three words popped up in Tao Qiuyi's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Aunt San is also going to the market in town?" He asked knowingly, because she would too.

"Yes." Li Yuegui patted the backpack beside her and sighed, "You know, the money and notes in our house were stolen by that thief who deserves to be cut into pieces and struck by lightning."

"We were almost unable to make ends meet, so your grandmother had no choice but to ask your aunt and me to take some of the food from home to the town to exchange for money to buy oil and salt."

"Yes!" Zhou Mei echoed, "We can not eat meat, but we can not do without oil and salt."
