After making all the arrangements, he picked up the heavy medicine box alone and left in a hurry.

After all, there is a large group of patients outside who are anxiously waiting for treatment. Time is tight and there is no room for delay.

Ni'er stood in the distance, looking in the direction where her master was returning.

Not long after, she saw the familiar figure of her master walking towards her.

However, the fact that the master came back so quickly was somewhat beyond Ni'er's expectation. She observed the master's expression carefully and found that there were not many obvious changes on his face. He was still as calm and composed as usual.

Moreover, the Master's footsteps seemed quite brisk, without any sense of heaviness at all.

From this we can see that this outing should not have encountered too much trouble.

Thinking of this, Nier's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

After all, grandma had suddenly fallen ill and the condition was extremely critical. Even she herself was worried whether grandma could survive.

Fortunately, it seems now that grandma is really lucky.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Nier's stomach, which had been aching slightly, miraculously stopped hurting.

So, she happily ran a few steps in the direction of her master, soon came to her master's side, and naturally adjusted her pace to walk side by side with her master.

"Master, what happened?" Ni'er asked impatiently, looking at her master with her big eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Zhao Jincheng smiled slightly and considerately slowed down his pace so as not to make it too difficult for Ni'er with her short legs to keep up.

He replied softly: "Don't worry, it's okay now."

Hearing the good news, Nier felt relieved and a bright smile appeared on her face.

She looked up at her master, her eyes full of admiration and respect, and praised sincerely: "Master, your medical skills are really superb! I was just about to rush over, and you have already cured my grandmother! Your admiration for you is like a torrent of water..."

Although he had heard countless people praising his medical skills and his ability to bring people back to life, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard such praise coming from his little apprentice.

The originally fair face was now slightly flushed.

"Alright, alright, stop talking! Did you eat all the dried meat? Don't worry, once this matter is settled and we can buy fresh meat, I will definitely make you some more."

In order to prevent his little disciple from noticing his slightly awkward appearance, he unconsciously quickened his pace while speaking.

However, Nier, who was following closely behind, seemed to be struggling because of the sudden increase in pace. She gritted her teeth and simply stretched out her two short legs to chase the figure in front.

At this time, Nier raised her head and glanced at the other person, and happened to catch a glimpse of the master's slightly red cheeks. As smart as she was, she immediately understood the reason - it turned out that the master was shy.

Thinking of this, Nier's mouth corners could not help but slightly rise, outlining a sly smile. Hehe, in this case, why not take advantage of this opportunity to tease the master?

Therefore, Ni'er not only did not stop praising, but she became more and more eloquent: "Master, please don't misunderstand my intentions. I really just want to praise you, and it is absolutely from the deepest part of my heart! Look at your superb medical skills, which are unparalleled in the world..."

After hearing the young apprentice's series of words praising him to the heavens and the earth, Zhao Jincheng felt as sweet as eating honey. However, at the same time, a strong sense of shame surged in his heart, making him want to find a crack in the ground to hide in. Not long after, his face turned red, so red that it seemed like blood could drip out, and he simply couldn't show himself like this anymore.

So, Zhao Jincheng simply stopped and no longer moved forward, so that his little apprentice could take a chance to rest for a while.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that according to his apprentice's normal walking speed, he would never have reached the position he was just at.

Could it be that she had been running out of breath and exhausted, or even had a stomachache, so she stopped to rest for a while? Thinking of this, Zhao Jincheng couldn't help but regret it and secretly blamed himself for walking so fast.

With a heart full of guilt and worry, Zhao Jincheng hurriedly lowered his head and looked carefully at Ni'er's face.

Seeing that her expression was as calm and natural as usual, without showing any sign of abnormality, Zhao Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.

Then, he whispered to his young apprentice, "Okay, go back to work. If you're still worried about your grandma, you can go check on her, but she's already asleep."

Nier nodded obediently, and she already understood the things she wanted to know.

It is obviously not a wise move to go and visit at this moment. After all, he is already asleep. If I go there rashly, not only will I disturb him, but I might even be scolded. That would be asking for trouble.

Besides, since Master said it was fine, then it must be correct. I will go over and take a look when the time is right.

Besides, I am my grandmother's granddaughter. If my father knew that I had not visited my sick grandmother, he would be very sad.

Fortunately, I was able to inform my master of the news in time, thus saving my grandmother's life. This is the most I can do.

As for the follow-up, just do some superficial work to deal with it, no need to be too serious. Thinking of this, Nier said softly to the master: "I know, Master, I will go back to work now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away with brisk steps.

Zhao Jincheng stood there quietly, staring at his apprentice's figure as he walked away. The thin and petite figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

He shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and murmured to himself: "This child, at such a young age, has to bear so many burdens and responsibilities. It really makes me feel distressed."

Zhao Jincheng was well aware of the hardships and tribulations that his young apprentice had experienced during this period of time. The pressure that should not belong to this age group was now all placed on her thin shoulders.

However, despite facing numerous difficulties, the young apprentice always gritted his teeth and persisted without a single complaint. This strength and courage made Zhao Jincheng both pleased and distressed.

He thought to himself that after everything here was settled, he would definitely reward this hard-working little apprentice.
