They had a traditional Chinese wedding, so Lu Jinfeng in the photo is not wearing a wedding dress, but a very festive bright red wedding gown.

In the photo, she hasn't yet been battered by life or experienced the burdens of family, so she smiles brightly with a sparkle in her eyes.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhao Dazhu felt a pang of sympathy for her. Her face was haggard and her complexion sallow.

However, Lu Jie was right there on the bed, staring at him longingly. So he coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment, banished the random thoughts from his mind, strode over to the bedside, and grabbed Lu Jie's wrist.

"Xiao Lü, don't move. I'll examine you now. You might experience a burning or stinging sensation, but that's normal. Don't worry," Zhao Dazhu said.

Lu Jie quickly replied, "I'm not worried, I'm not worried. Uncle Zhao, please examine me quickly. I've been dreaming of getting better!"

"I've been a burden to Jin Feng for so many years, dragging her down like a burden. I can't go on like this!"

Zhao Dazhu said, "I know, I know. Don't get agitated. Just lie still and cooperate with me."

Lu Jie then shut his mouth and lay motionless on the bed. Lu Jinfeng watched him with a mixture of anticipation and worry, barely daring to breathe.

The next moment, Lü Jie felt a surge of heat enter his wrist and spread to his arm, shoulder, chest and even his whole body.

Before long, he felt his whole body getting warm!

Moreover, a slight stinging sensation occurs, and it spreads throughout the entire body!

Zhao Dazhu had given prior notice, so Lü Jie only found it amazing and wasn't flustered.

A few minutes later, Zhao Dazhu's expression became somewhat troubled.

"How did the checkup go? Will my husband... will he recover?" Lu Jinfeng asked anxiously.

Lu Jie, of course, also wanted to know the answer to this question, so he stared at Zhao Dazhu without blinking, his anticipation in his eyes was beyond words.

Zhao Dazhu hesitated only slightly before nodding vigorously and saying emphatically, "Yes! It's definitely possible! Theoretically, it is!"

"What do you mean by 'theoretically able to recover'? Old Zhao, don't try to fool us, tell us something we can understand!" Lu Jinfeng said anxiously.

Zhao Dazhu couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He pointed to Lü Jie's waist and then said, "Lü Jie's waist injury has healed in terms of bones and soft tissues, but there is one thing that cannot heal: his spinal nerves."

"That's right, his spinal nerves were severed, which is why he is paralyzed on one side. So, to help him recover, we must repair his severed spinal nerves. There is no other way."

Lu Jie quickly asked, "Then can you repair my... what kind of nerve?"

"Yes, but there's a prerequisite: we need the right medicinal herbs," Zhao Dazhu said.

After a pause, Zhao Dazhu continued, "I need to concoct a elixir called Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment to repair your severed nerves. However, concocting this ointment requires a rare medicinal herb called Black Jade Three-Leaf Flower, so... that's where the problem lies."

"If I can find this medicinal herb, you can recover. If I'm unlucky and can't find it, then things will be much more difficult."

Hearing Zhao Dazhu's words, Lü Jinfeng felt a mix of joy and worry, as did Lü Jie on the bed.

Suddenly noticing Lü Jinfeng constantly giving him meaningful glances, Zhao Dazhu immediately understood what she meant.

Regardless, the first priority now is to stabilize Lü Jie's mental state and absolutely not let him despair.

Otherwise, the suicide by hanging might happen a second time.

Then Zhao Dazhu slapped his forehead and said, "I...I think I remember now, I've seen this rare medicinal herb on the back mountain! Lü Jie, you'll definitely recover, I can guarantee it."

"But I can't remember exactly where that black jade three-leaf flower grows. I need to look for it carefully, but don't worry, I'm 100% sure I'll find it. It's just a matter of time."

As soon as Zhao Dazhu said this, Lü Jie became excited, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling.

Lu Jinfeng's face also showed a strong look of joy.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhao!"

Lu Jie trembled with excitement, grabbed Zhao Dazhu's hand, and continued, "If you really heal me, then... then you'll be my savior! Whatever you ask for, I'll do it for you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"Okay, I'll remember that. If I ever need you to do something for me in the future, you can't refuse." Zhao Dazhu said cheerfully.

"Uncle Zhao, you can rest assured, I, Lü Jie, am not a man of my word! I keep my promises, I will never go back on my word!" Lü Jie said firmly.

After leaving Lü Jinfeng's house, Zhao Dazhu said to her, "Alright, go home and be with your husband, don't bother seeing me off."

"I have something to tell you," Lü Jinfeng said somewhat shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Then...then you can give me a ride," Zhao Dazhu said casually.

So Lü Jinfeng followed Zhao Dazhu and walked towards his house.

But neither Zhao Dazhu nor Lü Jinfeng walked very slowly, like snails crawling.

There's nothing we can do about it. Xinghua Village is such a small place, and Lü Jinfeng's house isn't far from Zhao Dazhu's. If she walks a little faster, she probably won't have to walk more than three or four minutes to get home.

"Ask whatever you want," Zhao Dazhu said, taking the initiative.

Lu Jinfeng brushed a strand of hair from her forehead before saying, "You just said you saw that black jade flower in the back mountain..."

"It's a black jade three-leaf flower. I've never seen it in the back mountain. I saw you winking at me, so I said that to keep your husband calm and prevent him from hanging himself in despair again," Zhao Dazhu said irritably.

"Oh, I see... So are you confident you can find that medicinal herb?" Lu Jinfeng asked again, casting an expectant look at Zhao Dazhu.

Zhao Dazhu thought for a moment and said, "Of course, there's no absolute certainty. Although the back mountain of our village is quite magical, full of medicinal herbs, I can't say for sure whether we can find the Black Jade Three-Leaf Flower. All I can say now is that I will try my best to find it, using all sorts of methods, and try my best not to disappoint you two."

Hearing Zhao Dazhu say this, Lü Jinfeng was somewhat moved.

Looking around, I made sure there was no one nearby, and there was a small hill of straw piled up not far ahead.

So Lü Jinfeng grabbed Zhao Dazhu's hand and dragged him into the haystack.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Dazhu asked.
