Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

With these fresh ingredients, Xu Mingjie returned to the courtyard, full of expectations and hope. He sorted out the ingredients and began to prepare dinner. He hoped that these nutritious foods would help Lou Xiaoe recover as soon as possible.

At the same time, Xu Mingjie's feelings for Lou Xiao'e became deeper and deeper. He had imagined her pain many times and tried to help her in various ways. He knew that this pain was not only physical, but also a psychological blow. He admired Lou Xiao'e's strength, but also worried about her.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of stew, as Xu Mingjie cooked chicken and herbs into a thick soup. As he worked, he thought about how to convey his concern to Lou Xiaoe. He knew that although he tried his best to help her, her psychological recovery might take longer than her physical recovery.

That night, Xu Mingjie walked into Lou Xiao'e's room carrying a bowl of hot chicken soup. Lou Xiao'e leaned on the bed in the room, her face slightly pale, but when she saw the soup in Xu Mingjie's hand, a hint of gratitude appeared in her eyes.

"This is a tonic I prepared specially for you. I hope it can help you." Xu Mingjie said softly, his voice full of concern and warmth.

Lou Xiao'e took the bowl of soup, took a sip, and gradually showed a satisfied smile on her face. "Thank you, Mingjie. This soup tastes great and is really heartwarming."

Xu Mingjie felt a little comforted when he saw her reaction. He sat beside her bed and asked softly, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but her tone remained strong. "I'm not feeling too uncomfortable, just a little tired. Your concern makes me feel much better."

Xu Mingjie felt a little more relaxed. He knew that although these foods could not change everything immediately, they could at least make her feel a little warmth and care. He hoped that these small efforts could provide some help for her recovery.

As night fell, Xu Mingjie still couldn't calm down completely. He knew that although he was helping Lou Xiao'e, he still had too many things to deal with in the face of complex situations and unknown challenges. The enemy in front of him had not completely disappeared, and he still needed to continue to explore and solve it.

As the night deepened, Xu Mingjie's thoughts kept swirling. His heart was filled with anxiety and hope for the future. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to go on firmly, reveal the truth behind it, and buy more time and opportunities for Lou Xiao'e and his master.

He continued to study the ingredients he brought back from the market, trying to find a better way to improve Lou Xiao'e's recovery speed. He knew that every detail could affect her recovery, and he had to do his best.

At this time, the chef walked into the kitchen and saw Xu Mingjie busy at work, and smiled. "Mingjie, I am very touched by your attentiveness and dedication. Although the current situation is still very difficult, your efforts and care have given people hope."

Xu Mingjie looked up and saw a hint of encouragement in his master's words, and his heart was filled with gratitude. "Thank you, master. Your support is very important to me. I will continue to work hard to uncover the truth as soon as possible and buy more time for Lou Xiao'e and everyone else."

The master nodded, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes. He knew that Xu Mingjie's persistence and hard work would bring about changes, and he would do his best to support him. In this challenging time, the trust and support between them became each other's greatest reliance.

In a busy morning, Xu Mingjie left the courtyard early with a clear goal - he was going to buy a bicycle. As the investigation deepened, he found that the bicycle could not only improve his efficiency, but also help him reach various investigation sites more conveniently. Running between the market and the courtyard every day, although the distance was not far, the frequent walking made him feel a little tired. The bicycle was undoubtedly the most practical tool he needed.

Xu Mingjie walked on the busy streets, and the shops on the roadside looked particularly lively in the sun. The people on the street were bustling, some were buying daily necessities, and some were busy on their way. But his heart was always focused on one goal - to find a suitable bicycle.

He passed several bicycle shops and finally walked into a shop that looked a bit old. There was a simple wooden sign hanging at the door of the shop. Although the space inside the door was small, various types of bicycles were neatly placed. Xu Mingjie walked in and saw a middle-aged man in the shop wiping an old mountain bike.

"Excuse me, are there any bicycles suitable for daily riding here?" Xu Mingjie walked forward and asked politely.

The middle-aged man looked up with a warm smile in his eyes. "Of course. What kind do you need? Long-distance riding or short-distance transportation?"

Xu Mingjie pondered for a moment and replied, "It is mainly used for short-distance transportation, so that I can move quickly between places."

The middle-aged man nodded and took Xu Mingjie to a corner of the store where several relatively light bicycles were placed. "These bikes are suitable for your needs. They are light and durable. If you like, we can try them out."

Xu Mingjie looked at these bikes with hope and expectation in his eyes. He knew that this was not just a bicycle, but also a powerful assistant for his future actions. After some selection, he finally decided to buy a bicycle that met his needs.

After the transaction was completed, Xu Mingjie walked out of the store pushing his newly bought bicycle. The sun shone on his face and the air was filled with the scent of early autumn. He felt a little relieved, as if this small purchase could bring some comfort and hope. Although he knew that the complexity of the investigation would not change because of the arrival of a bicycle, at least it meant that he could devote himself to the next work more efficiently.

Back at the courtyard, Xu Mingjie parked his bicycle in the corner of the yard, feeling satisfied. Seeing it there, his fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot. He decided to install a basket on the bicycle immediately to make it easier to carry items when traveling in the future.

In the kitchen, Xu Mingjie found the toolbox and began to install the basket. His movements were skillful and firm, and he tried his best to make every detail perfect. In the process, his thoughts kept swirling: he hoped to optimize his work through these details and further promote the progress of the investigation. Although these tasks seemed trivial, he knew that each step could have an impact on the final result.
