The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, Li Kaixin picked up his medical kit, intending to give a few more instructions before taking his leave.

Uen, lying on the bed, suddenly spoke again:

"Comrade, your good relationship with my brother Risu is your business. But I can't shamelessly let you do all this for nothing. I have something here that you might find useful."

Immediately, he turned to Risu and instructed him:

"Brother, go and get that club I found in the mountains last time for your big brother Kaixin."

"Alright, brother!" Risu put the medicine in his pocket. "Brother Kaixin, please wait for me a moment."

As he spoke, he turned around and crawled into a corner of the yurt to search.

Li Kaixin wanted to stop the person but it was too late, and he couldn't refuse again, so he could only stand there and watch.

A moment later, Risu came over carrying a cloth bag and handed it to Li Kaixin with a smile: "Brother Kaixin, take a look, this should be a good thing for you."

Li Kaixin took the cloth bag, untied the leather cord, lifted a corner, and was immediately stunned.

Inside is a wild ginseng root with a thick rhizome. Judging from its texture and size, it must be at least a hundred years old.

"This!" Li Kaixin looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Brother Wu En, this ginseng of yours is a hundred years old. It's too precious, I can't accept it."

"Has it been a hundred years?"

Uen murmured softly, then his eyes hardened. "Comrade, you should keep it! This thing is just a decoration in my hands. Giving it to a doctor like you is the best use of it."

"Yes, Brother Kaixin!" Risu chimed in from the side, "I know you wouldn't like the others, but if this is useful to you, please take it!"

Looking at the ginseng in his hand, it would be a lie to say Li Kaixin wasn't tempted.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally relented: "Fine! This time I'll shamelessly accept it."

However, he had already made up his mind to make some health-preserving medicine for Wu En before leaving tomorrow, as a way of repaying this favor.

Wu En smiled when he saw that Li Kaixin accepted the gift.

Zhou Zhiming witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice:

"My goodness, a hundred-year-old ginseng! I've only ever heard people say that only important figures in the past had it. I never thought I'd see it today."

Li Kaixin ignored his apprentice's mutterings and turned to instruct Wu En:

"Brother Wuen, you absolutely mustn't get out of bed for the next month. Just stay in bed. In about three months, your leg will be fully healed."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Uen replied solemnly.

Seeing that he had done what he needed to do, Li Kaixin said goodbye, "Brother Wu En, you should get some rest. We'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to call his apprentice to walk towards the door.

"Don't go, Comrade Kaixin, it's getting late, why don't you stay for lunch!" Tana quickly stepped forward to persuade her to stay.

Chao Ketu, who was standing to the side, laughed and chimed in, "Yiji, you really won't be able to work today. I already made plans with Brother Kaixin to have lunch at my house."

"Oh, I see." Tana looked disappointed, but still unwilling to give up, "Comrade Kaixin, are you free tonight?"

"Yiji, Brother Kaixin has to go back to our place tonight, and they have to head back first thing tomorrow morning," Bayar chimed in.

Seeing Tana's expression, Li Kaixin smiled and said, "Auntie, how about this? Next time I come, I'll definitely come to your house for a good meal, okay?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him to stay, Tana simply nodded: "Alright! Comrade Kaixin, it's a deal then. You must come here next time, and I'll definitely treat you well!"

Li Kaixin smiled and agreed, then led Zhou Zhiming out of the yurt with Chaoketu and the others.

Risu was about to follow.

"Risu, wait a moment." Amur stepped forward and called out to him.

When Risu heard his father calling him, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Amur leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "You've treated Comrade Kaixin well, kid. You can stay at the next brigade's place tonight!"

"Dad, when did you become so open-minded?" Risu asked, somewhat surprised, then teased with a grin, "Didn't you tell me to stay out all the time?"

"You little brat, you're trying to talk back to me?" Amur raised his hand as if to hit him.

Risu wasn't about to let him hit him; he slipped away and ran for the door, not forgetting to call out as he turned back, "Father, don't worry!"

Amur watched his son run off into the distance, then chuckled and muttered, "That rascal!"

At this moment, he felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders, knowing that his eldest son could stand up again.

When the herdsmen outside the gate saw Li Kaixin and Chaoketu come out, they all made way for them with smiles on their faces.

Once Chaoketu had led Li Kaixin away, they all rushed into the yurt.

"Uen, is your leg really healed?"

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Congratulations, Uhn!"

In an instant, the yurt was filled with all sorts of caring greetings and inquiries.

Uen lay on his bunk, unable to suppress his smile, and gently shook his newly set leg at everyone: "Look, I can move my leg now!"

Everyone gasped in surprise when they saw the leg that had regained its normal color.

Many others turned around and ran out of the yurt, heading straight for the brigade leader's house.

......

On the other side, Li Kaixin followed Chaoketu towards his home.

Zhou Zhiming leaned closer to his master and whispered, "Master, could you let me take a few more glances at that ginseng?"

"What, you've got your eye on it now?" Li Kaixin glanced at him.

"How could I dare to covet it!" Zhou Zhiming chuckled, rubbing his hands together. "It's just that this is the first time I've seen something so rare, and I want to take another look."

Li Kaixin didn't say anything more, and handed over the medicine box containing ginseng: "Here you go! But don't break it, kid."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Zhiming carefully took it, his eyes lighting up.

As the two were talking, Risu followed.

Soon, the group arrived at a yurt that was slightly larger than the surrounding ones.

A young woman dressed in a Mongolian robe stood at the door, looking in this direction.

"Naren, I've brought guests back!" Chaoketu shouted.

Naren's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she quickly came to greet them: "Come in, come in! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

She had heard from her husband's brother, Menghe, that he was bringing important guests home today, so she waited at the door.

As I stepped through the curtain, a delicious aroma of meat wafted towards me.

The low table was already laden with food: hand-pulled mutton, milk tofu, milk tea, and so on.

Although it wasn't as good as what we ate at Bayar's house yesterday, it was still quite a feast.

Li Kaixin felt a little guilty: "Brother Chaoketu, this is too much trouble for you."

"No trouble at all! I'm overjoyed that you could come. Come, come, sit down!" Chaoketu replied with a smile.

After everyone sat down, Naren brought in a large platter of steaming mutton, smiling broadly as she said, "Don't be shy, eat up! We may not have much else on the grasslands, but we have plenty of mutton!"

"Thank you..." Li Kaixin hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Chaoketu laughed and extended his hand to introduce, "Brother Li, this is my wife, Naren."

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Li Kaixin immediately greeted her with a smile.

Although no alcohol was consumed during the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much.

After saying goodbye to Naren, Chaoketu's wife, Fan, Li Kaixin and the others had just stepped out of the yurt.

Suddenly, a group of people walked towards them from a distance, led by a middle-aged man.
