The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 145: Chapter 131, Injected with Chicken Blood_1

“What’s gotten into you today, have you had chicken blood?”

After being knocked to the ground by Yan Wenkai for the third time, Su Hongxin found it somewhat unbelievable.

You know, it used to be him who always suppressed the two Yan brothers!

Not only was Su Hongxin astonished, but so was Dong Yuanxuan.

Because he too had been punched in the face by Wentao, and was now grinning through the pain!

He was aware of the Yan brothers’ situation and had considered whether to have his family’s doctor prescribe some medicinal bath recipes for the two. However, such prescriptions are generally expensive, and the brothers were not willing to discuss it with their family, having little silver on them. Considering their pride, he had hesitated to bring it up.

After all, boys of their age are quite concerned with face, and if he accidentally hurt their sensitive spirits, he would be doing harm with the best intentions.

Xiao Yeyang, who was sparring with the instructor, also glanced their way, surprised, “Wentao and Wenkai’s strength has improved!” As the esteemed Little Prince, who always had others to handle his affairs, he was completely unaware of the Yan brothers’ predicament.

Every time he saw them arriving last, he felt a bit of disdain.

“Little Prince, focus, concentrate. When engaging in combat, the last thing you want is to be distracted; one mistake could lead to a fatal crisis,” the instructor’s cold voice rang out.

Xiao Yeyang refocused on his sparring, but not before receiving a kick from the instructor for just a moment’s distraction.

Here on the martial arts field, he wasn’t treated as any Little Prince. With the instructor’s stringent discipline, every sparring session was full contact, real strikes.

He would say that being strict with them now would spare them losses in the future.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang got serious, the instructor felt satisfied and, while defending himself, also took a moment to look over at the Yan brothers.

As the instructor, no one knew the students’ conditions better than him.

The reason he hadn’t inquired before was to see how long the Yan brothers could hold out, of course, ensuring their bodies weren’t damaged in the process.

The brothers had been practicing martial arts for several months, and their perseverance had earned his approval. He had already planned to find an opportunity soon to discuss health maintenance with them, but it seemed these two had already started taking medicinal baths on their own.

Judging by their appearance, the medicinal baths seemed to be effective.

Since they had already taken care of it themselves, there was no need for him to get involved.

In the following period, after each training session, the Yan brothers would take a medicinal bath.

As a result, the martial arts field saw two more vigorous figures, to the misfortune of the other sparring students.

Even though everyone took medicinal baths, the effects varied. Even Xiao Yeyang, who was under constant care of the Imperial Physician, couldn’t say his body was in peak condition every day.

During the break, seeing the Yan brothers, still full of energy after having taken down five or six people, Xiao Yeyang gave Dong Yuanxuan a weird look.

“Do you think they’ve secretly consumed some Ten-Complete Revitalizing Pills?” That vigor seemed a little too excessive!

Dong Yuanxuan was curious as well, “Shall Little Prince ask?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “That’s a good idea. After all, we’re classmates. If they’ve ingested something wrong and harmed their bodies, that would be troubling.”

After class, as the Yan brothers prepared to return to their room for a bath, they encountered Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan blocking their path.

“Little Prince, Brother Dong, is there something you need?” Yan Wenkai approached them naturally; after training and attending classes together for some time, they had become quite familiar.

As long as they kept a sense of proportion, a little informality wasn’t a problem.

Dong Yuanxuan smiled, “We do have something. You see, Little Prince and I have never visited your quarters; we were thinking of taking a look. You wouldn’t turn us away, would you?”

Yan Wenkai hesitated, “Of course, we would not turn you away, but could we possibly choose another time?”

Dong Yuanxuan narrowed his eyes, “Why is that? Could it be that you have some unspeakable affairs to attend to?”

Yan Wenkai became anxious, “What unspeakable affairs? It’s just that my third brother and I were about to take a medicinal bath. It wouldn’t be convenient for you to be there, right?” they couldn’t just bathe in front of others.

Xiao Yeyang, not wanting to waste words, simply strode past everyone and led the way, “Less talking, lead the way!”

Seeing their resolve, Yan Wenkai helplessly glanced at Wentao, “Looks like we’ll be going to bed late tonight!”

Wentao didn’t seem to mind much, “If the Little Prince and Brother Dong want to sit with us for a while, then a later bedtime it is.”

…

Soon, the group arrived at the Yan brothers’ room, and upon entering, everyone could smell the faint scent of herbs permeating the space.

Unlike the slightly unpleasant smell of the medicinal concoctions they had been soaking in, the scent of these herbs wasn’t offensive at all, on the contrary, it carried a faint fragrance that made one feel refreshed upon smelling it.

At this moment, Tieshou and Tietou had already prepared hot water, just waiting for the Yan brothers to come back so they could place the herbal pouch in the water to soak.

“You guys go ahead and leave. We will soak later tonight,” Yan Wenkai told the two to remove the water.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at them, puzzled, and said, “Don’t you guys simmer your medicinal baths?”

Yan Wenkai scratched his head. “Do we need to simmer it? We just soak it directly in hot water!” They lived in a communal dormitory, which didn’t offer a kitchen to boil water and herbs.

Dong Yuanxuan also looked puzzled, “What kind of herbs are you using that just soaking in hot water, it would have medicinal effects?”

“How could it not!” Yan Wenkai showed them a pack of the herbal mix.

Xiao Yeyang took the herbal pouch and examined it.

The herbal pouch was sewn by Daohua with white fine cotton fabric, and when she made it, she considered that her two brothers might not be able to simmer it, so she ground the herbs into a fine powder.

That way, when poured over with boiling hot water, the medicinal properties would still be released.

Yan Wenkai proudly said, “This is specially prepared by my eldest younger sister for me and my third brother, I tell you, it’s really comfortable to soak in.”

Dong Yuanxuan puzzled, “Then why didn’t you guys soak before?”

Yan Wenkai was choked up, looking somewhat sheepish.

Yan Wentao laughed and took over the conversation, “That’s because he was worried the bath might spoil his body!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan both looked over.

Yan Wenkai felt uncomfortable, “The herbal pouch was prepared by my eldest younger sister, isn’t it normal for me to worry?” he said, looking toward Xiao Yeyang.

“My eldest younger sister said to share some with the Little Prince. Little Prince, do you want some?”

Xiao Yeyang felt delighted at the mention of Daohua preparing it for him, but soon looked at Yan Wenkai with some dissatisfaction. “Since Daohua said to share it with me, why haven’t you given it to me until now?”

Yan Wenkai scratched his head, “I was afraid it might spoil you, wasn’t I?”

“It seems you just can’t bear to part with it!” Xiao Yeyang snorted coldly, and seeing Yan Wenkai standing idly by, he immediately urged, “My portion, aren’t you going to hurry up and bring it over?”

“Oh~”

Yan Wenkai moved sluggishly, filled with regret. Why had he foolishly told the Little Prince that he had a share?

As there weren’t many herbal pouches left, if they gave some to the Little Prince, he and his third brother would not have many opportunities to soak.

After dawdling for quite a while, Yan Wenkai finally brought over five herbal pouches to Xiao Yeyang. Seeing Dong Yuanxuan’s eager eyes, he reluctantly handed one to him.

“Big brother Dong, I’m not being stingy, but this one… You take it and try the effects,” Yan Wenkai said with a pained expression.

Seeing Yan Wenkai’s reluctant gesture, Dong Yuanxuan nonchalantly snatched the herbal pouch from his hands, laughing, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give it a good try.”

The robust energy of the Yan brothers in the past few days was evident to everyone, and Dong Yuanxuan also wanted to see how effective their herbal baths were.

That day, Xiao Yeyang returned to his residence and handed the herbal pouch over to the Imperial Physician for inspection.

It wasn’t long before the Imperial Physician, well over sixty, arrived spryly in front of Xiao Yeyang.

“Little Prince, where did you get this herbal pouch from?”

Seeing the excitement of the Imperial Physician, Xiao Yeyang curiously asked, “What’s the matter, is there a problem with the herbal pouch?”

The Imperial Physician shook his head, “There’s no problem with the pouch, not at all. On the contrary, it has very strong effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and strengthening the body, most suitable for body conditioning.”

“Not only is the herbal pouch suitable for when the Little Prince practices martial arts, but the army can use it too! I came to ask if there’s a prescription for it? It might be useful for the Governor!”

Xiao Yeyang was startled, “Are you sure?” The Imperial Physician was his uncle’s man, and his uncle was currently in charge of military affairs for the northern three provinces, including Zhongzhou Province, to eradicate bandits remaining from the period of drought.

He understood that the strength of his troops was the key to better combat capabilities and knew that families like his maternal grandfather’s relied on their own groups of experts.

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a while, “I’ll have to ask about this. I’ll let you know once I have news.”

The Imperial Physician was a little disappointed not to get an immediate answer because the herbs in the pouch had been ground into powder, and although he could identify some of the herbs used, he couldn’t estimate the proportions.
