Xiao Yuan also sought out many kinds of medicinal herbs in the city. He was busy every day preparing medicine and prescribed it for everyone, requiring each person to drink a bowl of medicinal soup daily.
After all, the journey had taken a toll on everyone, adults and children alike. Now that they were about to arrive at their destination, everyone could finally relax a bit and needed to recuperate quickly, otherwise it might affect their longevity.
