Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Passing by (2)

"Since you can’t see with your eyes, how did you manage to find the herbs? And how were you able to spar with me?"

Yuan Yuan tilted her head in thought, as though struck by a realization: "Hmm, I don’t know either. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled many different herbs, but my heart told me that some herbs shouldn’t be mixed together, or they would cause symptoms of severe vital energy damage. As for sparring with Uncle Changqing, it was just a natural response from my body; I’m not really clear on how it happened."

Li Changqing was shocked; among the herbs he had, there were indeed some that shouldn’t be dried together. Because he was tired after picking herbs this morning, he had carelessly piled them up here, planning to sort them out after waking up from sleep. He didn’t expect that a blind little girl could identify the types of herbs just by smell.

Moreover, judging by her combat moves, this girl Xiao Yu was definitely someone with extensive fighting experience.

"Girl Xiao Yu, could you possibly detect which herbs are present in this courtyard by smell?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Mi’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Li Changqing indignantly: "Uncle Changqing, aren’t you making things difficult for her? Xiao Yu is not a doctor; she..."

"Polygonum multiflorum, wild ginseng, astragalus, angelica, dahurian angelica root..."

Ah Mi’s mouth hung open in astonishment as she watched Xiao Yu rattling off a long list of herb names, some she had heard of and others she had not, like pouring beans. And with each name Xiao Yu mentioned, Uncle Changqing’s face showed more and more delight.

When Xiao Yu had named all the herbs, Li Changqing could guarantee with his own integrity that this little girl was unquestionably a medical prodigy before she lost her memory!

"Girl Xiao Yu, since you can smell these herbs, do you know what kind of injury you have suffered?"

Xiao Yu nodded in confusion and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know, but there’s something wrong with my memory, and I’m worried I might diagnose myself incorrectly."

"Very well! Come with me to talk in detail about your diagnosis, and I’ll help you confirm it."

Having said that, Li Changqing turned to leave, but then his steps halted suddenly, and he awkwardly straightened his shoulders and coughed lightly.

"Ahem! Follow me!"

Xiao Yu gave a faint smile, tugging at Ah Mi’s little hand, leading the stunned girl by following Li Changqing’s breathing, step by step, making their way to the room’s entrance.

"Watch the step."

Li Changqing’s caution made Xiao Yu stop in her tracks. She could sense his presence and the path to take, but her eyes truly could not see the steps and stones. If not for Li Changqing’s kind reminder, she might have stumbled and fallen face first into the dirt.

At that moment, Ah Mi, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality. Looking down at the steps beneath her feet, she broke out in a cold sweat. With Xiao Yu’s keen senses, she was still blind, and these steps would surely cause her to fall and hurt herself.

"I’m sorry, Xiao Yu. I was just too shocked earlier. Here, let me help you."

Xiao Yu smiled softly and, guided by Ah Mi’s direction, climbed the steps carefully, step by step, crossing the high threshold.

Li Changqing stood just inside the door, watching her. A young girl, facing both amnesia and blindness, yet remaining so calm and composed, just this level of detachment alone meant that Xiao Yu was far from ordinary.

The three of them took their seats, and at Li Changqing’s gesture, Xiao Yu extended her right hand onto the table.

Li Changqing lightly placed three fingers on her pulse, then slowly closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes with a frown, stood up, and walked behind Xiao Yu.
