Chapter 5 — My Best Friends and I Go Back to Ancient Times

＜Chapter 7＞ The next day, I was woken up by the sound of talking outside the door. It was already morning until noon outside, but Thinh Lang Han was still sleeping next to me and hadn't woken up yet. I gently left his arms and was about to sit up and change clothes, but I didn't expect to be hugged tightly. Thinh Lang Han is also awake. He wanted to hug me and sleep a little longer, but the noise outside the door made it impossible for him to continue sleeping. All I could do was pull me up and change my clothes. I heard that the person making noise out there is Murong Tuyet Niem. I knew she would use every trick to deal with me and my best friend in the future, but I didn't expect her to be so inconsiderate. I finished putting on my inner shirt and was just about to help Thinh Lang Han put on my outer coat when Murong Tuyet Niem pushed open the door and walked in. Behind her, there was also a guard who failed to stop her and failed to take responsibility, bowing his head and waiting to be punished. Murong Tuyet Niem did not feel that there was anything wrong with her actions. She carried a tray of food and walked in expectantly.

"Brother Lang Han, we haven't seen each other for many years. Tuyet Niem really didn't expect you to become so sleepy. I've cooked porridge for you, hurry up and eat."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently pulled the last curtain covering the bed where Thinh Lang Han and I were sleeping. When she saw me behind Thinh Lang Han, her gentle face immediately flashed with surprise. As if completely unexpected, she slightly covered her mouth, looking full of regret.

"Sorry brother Lang Han, I didn't know my sister Thu Nhan was also here."

"It's okay, since we're here, let's have a meal together."

Thinh Lang Han finished speaking and immediately pulled me up and got out of bed, without any hesitation. I don't need to turn my head to imagine Murong Tuyet Niem's unsightly face. Now I have absolutely no idea what Thinh Lang Han is thinking in the end. The only thing I'm sure of is... I don't want to play this fake love game with them. Looking at the hot breakfast table, even though there were dishes I liked, I still didn't have any taste. I only ate a few bites, then stared blankly at the rustling fallen leaves outside. I just hope this breakfast ends quickly, so I can go see my best friend early. At that moment, Thinh Lang Han picked up a piece of braised fish and put it in my almost untouched bowl of rice, patiently reminding me:

“Don't lose concentration while eating.”

I just glanced at the braised fish and said casually:

“I'm full.”

“Eat some more.” Thinh Lang Han gently ordered.

At that moment, Murong Tuyet Niem suddenly laughed teasingly:

"Brother Lang Han, we girls are very careful when it comes to eating. If we're full, if we try to eat more, our bodies won't be able to handle it."

I didn't expect her to suddenly be so kind, I couldn't help but glance at her. Meeting my eyes, Murong Tuyet Niem smiled extremely gently.

“Sister Thu Nhan, look at how beautiful the fallen leaves are out there.”

"I heard brother Lang Han say that you like dancing the most. I just finished eating, how about we go out for a dance?"

I don't believe she simply wanted to dance with me. But I also want to see what trick she plans to play in the end. So I followed her out. Thinh Lang Han was good at playing the piano, so he let him play the piano as an accompaniment for me and Mo Dung Tuyet Niem. And she and I stood under the tree where the falling leaves rustled, Follow the sound of the instrument and dance gracefully. At first, she and I each danced in our own way, not interfering with each other. Gradually, Murong Tuyet Niem intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to me, and even performed a few difficult spinning and jumping movements, rushing straight towards me. Sure enough... the fox's tail was exposed. I immediately realized that she wanted to harm my best friend, but now she was planning to play her old tricks on me. I turned around and walked past her. Before she could pretend to twist her leg, I twisted my leg and fell to the ground first. This is called being one step ahead, leaving the enemy with no way to proceed. Seeing this, Thinh Lang Han immediately stopped playing, walked over to me, squatted down, and checked the situation:

"Why are you so careless? Is it serious?"

I shook my head:

“Didn't hit a dangerous spot.”

Thinh Lang Han knew that my medical skills were high, and I understood this small matter, so he breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, there was suddenly a strong "thump" sound from behind. It was Murong Tuyet Niem who fell. She hugged her leg, looking at Thinh Lang Han with a painful expression.

“Brother Lang Han... my leg hurts so much.”

Thinh Lang Han stood up, walked to her, and asked:

“Can you still move?”

Murong Tuyet Niem looked up at him, her deer-like eyes filled with tears, and said desperately:

“My leg was injured before... I'm afraid I'll never be able to stand up again.”

“Don't be afraid.”

Thinh Lang Han comforted and gently picked her up, anxiously ordering:

“Quickly tell the doctor!”

At that moment, for some reason, I suddenly felt the bone-chilling cold of the autumn wind. The moment Thinh Lang Han picked up Murong Tuyet Niem, I saw that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her legs. It's just that Thinh Lang Han was so worried that he was confused and completely forgot that I was the one who understood medical techniques. He kept vigil next to Murong Tuyet Niem, until the royal physician rushed over from the palace, diagnosed her illness and prescribed medicine for her. Medicines prescribed by Thai doctors are also medicines to nourish the body. It seems that everyone is an experienced person, sees through but doesn't say anything. But Murong Tuyet Niem was taken away all these years, and must have really suffered a lot. Long-term nutritional deficiencies caused her to develop weakness. This condition was also diagnosed by the doctor, but in the end, how to use medicine to cure it completely became a problem. Just when the royal physician was helpless, Thinh Lang Han finally remembered that there was still me here - a highly skilled medical person. He asked me if there was any way to cure Murong Tuyet Niem. Her weakness, if put in modern terms, is nothing more than anemia due to malnutrition. Of course I have a way to completely cure it. But Murong Tuyet Niem did hateful things to her best friend, I really don't want to waste medical skills on her. At that moment, I suddenly remembered that the fake-death medicine I was researching still lacked a lead drug. That medicine is called Ham Nhuy Thao, which grows on cliffs in the extremely dark and humid region of the South. Wanting to get it is as difficult as reaching heaven. I was having a headache and didn't know what reason to get this herb, so I took the opportunity to treat Murong Tuyet Niem and said the name Ham Nhuy Thao. I said that only by having this type of grass can Murong Tuyet Niem be cured. Unexpectedly, Thinh Lang Han agreed to go find him without saying a word. I originally thought he would send someone to look for him Ham Nhuy Thao, who would have thought that because of Murong Tuyet Niem, he would personally go. Ten days later, Thinh Lang Han safely brought Ham Nhuy Thao back. He was covered in dust and wind, and must have lived in anxiety and worry for the past ten days. I was just about to tell him to rest and give me the herbs. But he had to see with his own eyes that I put Ham Nhuy Thao into the decoction for Murong Tuyet Niem before he was willing to leave. He said Ham Nhuy Thao had disappeared, this was the last plant he could find. He must have seen me finish preparing this bowl of medicine with his own eyes. There was no other way, I could only cut Ham Nhuy Thao into small pieces and put it in Mo Dung Tuyet Niem's medicine pot, then watched Thinh Lang Han quickly run to her with the medicine. I knew at that moment… I had completely failed.
