"It's not like that, Auntie. I've had poor health since I was young, so I can't gain weight," Ye Ling said as she ate another bun and quickly felt full.
Once Sun Li's family finished eating, Ye Ling prepared to leave. Sun Li initially wanted Min Nan to accompany Ye Ling home, but Ye Ling hastily refused, saying, "It's not necessary, Auntie. I know the way, and Big Brother Min Nan doesn't need to send me."
In reality, Ye Ling was worried about people gossiping if they saw Min Nan accompanying her home.
Wan Hai whispered to Sun Li, "Mom, don't worry. They haven't confirmed their relationship yet. Let's not give the villagers anything to talk about."
"Then how about asking Wan Xue to escort Lingling back? It's already dark outside, and Lingling would surely be afraid to go alone," Sun Li frowned and suggested.
Wan Hai found it amusing. "How is that any different from having Min Nan send Ye Ling home? Here's what we can do, I'll ask Wan Xue to follow Ye Ling from a distance without drawing attention."
"That's a good idea." Sun Li finally felt relieved.
After leaving Sun Li's house, when Ye Ling saw Wan Xue trailing behind her, she felt somewhat helpless. Auntie Sun was truly concerned about her. She wasn't a child, yet she still had to be escorted by Wan Xue from a distance for such a short distance.
Did Auntie Sun think that her relationship with Min Nan was something special? This was a major misunderstanding.
As Ye Ling walked back to the dormitory along the small path, she suddenly noticed a plant with grayish-white leaves growing out of a crevice in a rock.
Ye Ling walked closer to examine it carefully and realized that it was a rare plant recorded in the Ye Family Medical Code. It was called the Silver Grass. This grass looked very similar to weeds and had no obvious medicinal effects. The growth conditions were also very harsh, and it was rarely seen in the wild.
The Ye Family's Medical Code naturally did not record useless plants. According to the book, when Silver Grass was mixed with several other common herbs, it could be used to create an exceptionally effective hemostatic medicine, surpassing regular hemostatic drugs by four to five times in efficacy.
Ye Ling's eyes lit up with excitement. She carefully placed the wooden basin on the ground and climbed onto the rock. She used her fingers to dig out the soil next to the Silver Grass, then uprooted the Silver Grass and carefully placed it in the wooden basin.
Ye Ling turned her head and noticed Wan Xue still following behind her. She waved her hand from afar and said, "Wan Xue, I'm almost at the dormitory. You can go back now!"
Wan Xue hesitated for a couple of seconds but seeing that Ye Ling was indeed close to reaching the dormitory, he left with a sense of relief.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Ye Ling locked the door and held the Silver Grass in her palm. Concentrating her focus, she entered the small world.
After planting the Silver Grass next to the stream, Ye Ling spent nearly two hours studying the Ye Family's Medical Code and memorizing over ten rare prescriptions before leaving the small world.
Before departing the small world, she noticed that the Silver Grass had grown a little taller.
Over the next few days, Ye Ling visited the valleys and fields near Willow Village to search for herbs. Once she found them, she uprooted them and transplanted them into the small world when she returned home.
Within the small world, she created a large herbal field. The environment in the small world seemed to have a magical catalytic effect on plants. In just a few days, some herbs with shorter growth cycles matured rapidly and grew much larger than their real-world counterparts.
On the other hand, Ye Ling also established an "orchard" where she planted fruit pits. She speculated that the special environment of the small world could enhance the size and sweetness of the fruits, providing her with an abundance of them.
While Ye Ling was busy developing her "herbal field" and "orchard" in the small world, the village chief came to Willow Village to look for her.
This time, the village chief informed her about participating in training.
"Ye Ling, if you want to become the pharmacy manager, you have to pass an exam. They will select two out of thirteen candidates. Starting tomorrow, we will organize a week-long training, and I expect you to attend."
After conveying the message, the village chief added, "By the way, Liu Lin heard about your enrollment and signed up as well."
"Liu Lin also signed up?" Ye Ling pressed her lips together, not revealing any signs of surprise, and expressed her gratitude to the village chief for the information.
Once the village chief left, Ye Ling began to contemplate the situation.
Why did Liu Lin also sign up? Could it be that since Ye Ling arrived in Willow Village, Liu Lin had no opportunity to interact with her, prompting her to sign up together?
The next day, Ye Ling woke up early, dressed in slightly worn clothes, and walked for over two hours along the mountain road to reach the training venue, Renyi Medicine Store in town.
As soon as she entered the entrance of Renyi Medicine Store, Ye Ling spotted a familiar figure.
Liu Lin's face lit up with surprise. She walked over and held Ye Ling's arm. "Lingling, I've missed you so much since you left. When are you coming back?"
