Yingbao gently stroked Dahei's ears and fed it a medicinal pill made from honeysuckle, atractylodes, astragalus, and ephedra.
Dahei wagged its tail even more happily and licked its young master's hand affectionately.
Yingbao went to check on Zhang Yuying and Zhang Xiaolang, then went to inspect their well.
The water level in the well was nearly up to the brim, while the water clarity was far from ideal.
Yingbao asked her aunt to boil a pot of water and sanitize all the bowls, chopsticks, and containers in the house. After washing her hands, she finally picked some herbs from her medicine box to brew.
She did it quietly herself, replacing the boiling water with water from the Pupil Spring.
She prepared two doses of herbs in two separate pots, boiled down from five bowls of water to one. Yingbao then poured the medicinal liquid into another container for her aunt to feed to the two children.
