Xu Zhengyong, now dressed in clean clothes, walked out looking clean and fresh.

“Ruo… Miss Wei!” He was just about to call Wei Ruo “Sister Ruo’er,” but upon noticing Wei Jinyi in the courtyard, he quickly corrected himself.

With a smile on his face, Xu Zhengyong appeared full of energy, showing no signs of having been trapped for hours before being rescued.

“Major General Xu, don’t move around too much. You’ve just spent a night in the cold,” Wei Ruo gave him a sharp glance, warning him not to act too carefree.

Xu Zhengyong shrank his neck and, still smiling, sat down across from Wei Ruo without making any more bold moves.

“Miss Wei, don’t worry too much about me! I’m strong and fit. A little cold can’t take me down!” Xu Zhengyong said with a grin, his expression full of pride.

Although he couldn’t move around much, he could still playfully boast.

“Major General Xu, you only have one body. If you damage it, there’s no replacement. It’s better to be careful. As they say, “better to be safe than sorry,” Wei Ruo smiled back, reminding him.

“Miss Wei, you don’t know this, but I have a nagging little sister at home who’s been giving me medicinal tonics since I was a kid. Every time she gets something good, it goes straight to me. She’s fed me until I’m as strong as an ox! I hardly ever get sick!” Xu Zhengyong said proudly.

“Major General Xu, say less and take your medicine. Then go rest,” Wei Ruo placed the medicine bottle in front of him, leaving him to take it himself.

Not daring to refuse, Xu Zhengyong picked up the bottle, skillfully poured two pills into his hand, and downed them with a bowl of water.

Wei Jinyi, observing from the side, took note of the seemingly distant yet affectionate exchange between the two.

Soon after, Wei Mingting also came out.

Xu Zhengyong quickly stood up and moved to the side, amusing himself by playing with the chickens in the courtyard.

Wei Mingting was doing quite well, given his years of martial practice and battle experience. His physical condition was far better than the average person’s.

Sitting across from Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting sincerely expressed his gratitude, “Ruo’er, although giving thanks might feel a bit formal, I still must say it. Thank you. If it weren’t for you today, Major General Xu and I might not have survived. You saved our lives.”

“Father, there’s no need to be so formal with me. It’s what I should do,” Wei Ruo replied.

Even though she was not Wei Mingting’s biological daughter, and even though she was just an ordinary citizen of Xingshan County, there was no reason not to help in this situation.

Wei Mingting gently shook his head. “There is nothing you are obligated to do. In such cold weather and such a dangerous situation, it is truly admirable that you and Jinyi came here to search for us without regard for your own safety.”

Wei Ruo merely smiled and didn’t respond.

Wei Mingting looked at her with kindness and asked, seeing her fiddling with something, “Ruo’er, what are you doing?”

“I brought some medicine with me, thinking it might come in handy. However, some of the ingredients were separated during preparation to maintain their effectiveness, so they need to be mixed together before use,” Wei Ruo explained.

“You’re really thoughtful, Ruo’er,” Wei Mingting praised.

“Father, you must have caught a cold yesterday. Wait for me to mix the medicine well, and you should drink a bowl too,” Wei Ruo said.

“Alright.” Wei Mingting smiled, feeling warmth in his heart as he watched his daughter prepare medicine for his cold.

After Wei Ruo mixed the medicine, she dissolved it in boiling water.

Although this method was not as effective as preparing it fresh with water, it was simple and practical.

The prepared medicine was divided into five portions, one for each person who had been trapped yesterday, and Xu Zhengyong couldn’t escape it either.
