Chapter 126 If there's something good, of course, Mom and Dad can't be left out!
That night—
Inside the Xia family's pebbled house, there were three large pots, deep enough to boil a person whole. Below the three pots were three small stoves for burning firewood. Now, it really looked like they were going to boil a person.
Actually, the fire in the stove had already gone out, but the water was still boiling and bubbling, whether it was because it hadn't reached boiling time or for some other reason.
"Little sister..."
Xia Sange stared wide-eyed at the three large pots.
"This...this...this...Little sister, are you going to boil your three brothers?" Second Brother Xia's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out.
That's amazing.
Xia Mo urged her three older brothers to hurry up and cook.
"No, the water in the pot is still boiling. If someone sits down, wouldn't they die?"
Xia Sange shook his head and waved his hands frantically, still backing away.
Xia Mo decided to demonstrate, so she put on her clothes, jumped up, and landed in the pot.
When it's put into the pot at the end of summer, the boiling water makes a "bubbling" sound as it bursts open.
"Little sister!"
"His-"
"do not want!"
Brother Xia, Second Brother Xia, and Third Brother Xia turned pale with fright and rushed towards the pot of medicinal bath that Xia Mo was soaking in.
Xia Mo's skin instantly turned red in the boiling water, then quickly faded, then instantly turned red again, then quickly faded again, repeating this countless times. She still waved to her three older brothers with ease.
"Little sister..."
"Little sister..."
The way the three older brothers called out to Xia Mo sounded like a trembling, winding path, their voices even splitting into two, which was strangely funny.
Xia Mo blinked at her three older brothers, made a face, and said, "The bubbling water is the result of the medicinal herbs combining."
Her face turning red and then red just now was normal; it was a deal she made with her divine sense to scare her three older brothers.
Having already tried the high-end version, it's impossible for her body to have a significant reaction to this low-end version of the herbal bath.
Xia Sange scratched his head and laughed heartily, trying to make his little sister happy again.
Brother Xia and Second Brother Xia: "..."
Xia Sange stepped forward and reached for the medicinal bath water in the deep pot on another stove.
"It's a bit hot," Xia Sange said, having already taken off his outer clothes, leaving only his inner clothes, and lifted his leg to put himself into the large pot.
After Xia Sange sat down, he felt his muscles throbbing with pleasure. He leaned comfortably against the pot and let out a satisfied groan: "So comfortable..."
Brother Xia and Brother Xia Er exchanged glances and rushed toward the last pot.
The two of them reached into the pot at the same time, then looked at each other.
I could tell from their eyes that they both wanted to take a medicinal bath.
Brother Xia and Brother Xia Er quickly took off their coats and crawled into the big pot.
“No, one pot of medicinal bath can only be used for one soak,” Xia Mo shook her head.
The tea she brewed for her three older brothers was different from the tea she brewed for herself; it was gentler.
Xia Mo jumped out of the pot, quickly changed her clothes behind the stove, and said, "You guys soak first, I'll wait."
Brother Xia and Brother Xia Er exchanged glances and walked towards the large pot that Xia Mo had left empty.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors," Xia Mo suggested.
Brother Xia lost, and Brother Xia sat in the medicinal bath pot that Xia Mo had vacated.
When the three older brothers came out of the medicinal bath, they all felt that their bodies were full of energy that needed to be released.
The huge rock in the yard was a perfect opportunity for the three older brothers to vent their energy. After venting their energy, all three of them felt stronger.
Before the end of summer, she would secretly put drugs in the dishes. This time, she gave each of her three older brothers a small pill.
The three older brothers ate it without thinking.
The medicine took effect as soon as it entered the mouth. The three brothers felt a surge of energy coursing through their bodies. They comfortably half-closed their eyes and felt increasingly energetic.
Xia Mo skipped and hopped around, giving two more pills to Xia's father and mother.
She has good things, so of course her parents can't be left out.
Xia's father shook his head and said, "This medicine was given to you by your master, right? It must be very precious. Don't give it to your parents; the four of you siblings should take it."
“Master gave us a lot, just enough for one pill per person. We can’t take these randomly; we have to take them once every seven days,” Xia Mo said, taking out a large bottle to show her parents.
Xia's parents smiled and accepted the pills, but they didn't intend to eat them themselves. They planned to give them to the four children later.
Xia's parents had the best intentions for their four children, and they wanted to save money for their food.
"Eat quickly," Xia Mo urged.
Xia's father and mother exchanged glances, and the couple tacitly pretended to eat.
"Father, Mother," Xia Mo said, somewhat helplessly and amusedly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between her father and mother.
Xia's father and mother blushed, took out the pills, and this time, in front of Xia Mo, they really swallowed them.
When Xia's father and mother first ate it, their reaction was particularly strong.
As the stench emanated from Xia's mother and father, they felt as if they had been soaking in a hot spring, and let out a long, comfortable groan.
"I'm going to wash up."
Xia's mother suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to wash up too," Xia's father said, and ran out after him.
Both Xia's father and mother were a little embarrassed.
Brother Xia and his siblings are young and have fewer impurities in their bodies, while Xia's parents are older and have more impurities in their bodies, which is why they are in this situation now.
After Xia's mother finished washing, she stood in the yard wearing a not-so-thick winter coat, feeling the cold north wind. To her surprise, she found that she no longer felt as cold as before, as if her bones were about to freeze.
Xia's father felt the same way.
“I feel like I can lift something that weighs 100 pounds,” Xia’s mother said uncertainly.
Xia's mother thought that Xia's father would laugh at her for being unrealistic if she said that, but she never expected...
“I also feel that I can lift 300 pounds right now,” Xia’s father replied uncertainly, but he also affirmed Xia’s mother’s words.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Xia's mother glanced at the huge stone weights of fifty jin, one hundred jin, one hundred and fifty jin... all the way up to four hundred jin laid out in the yard, and then turned to look at Xia's father.
Xia's father nodded.
The couple's subtle actions were observed by their four children in the hallway.
Xia Mo smiled warmly as she watched, and her three older brothers, Xia Da Ge, Xia Er Ge, and Xia San Ge, who were beside her, also smiled. They wanted to get married and wanted wives like their parents.
Xia's mother picked up the 100-pound stone scale without difficulty, and then tried the 150-pound stone scale. She looked at Xia's father in surprise and disbelief, her eyes seeming to say: Is it really me who picked up the 150-pound stone scale?
Xia's father also picked up the 300-pound stone scale, which he had never dared to imagine before.
The couple exchanged glances and whispered as if one of them were speaking, "The medicine our daughter gave us is a miracle cure!"
The couple fell silent again and smiled at each other.

In Anning Prefecture, hundreds of kilometers away—
The backyard of Jishi Medical Clinic —
Lin Fengzhi's resting room—
Lying on the bed, Lin Fengzhi took the small pill that Jiang Feng handed him and swallowed it without thinking. He was immediately shocked and his eyes widened.
A surge of energy coursed through his body, dispelling the lingering death energy that refused to dissipate. In no time, he felt his strength return! His body had truly returned to its youthful state!
This……
Lin Fengzhi sprang to his feet with a swift movement, the shock in his eyes only increasing.
