Every winter marks the busiest time for Qin Liuxi, who is engaged in preserving winter snow for brewing wine and carrying out charitable deeds at the Daoist Temple. This year is no exception and has been even busier than before.
Teaching disciples, refining medicine, crafting talismans, and attending to the business matters of the shop, all day long she was so busy that she had no time for the genteel art of burying snow to brew wine.
On this day, Qin Liuxi administered acupuncture to the Song siblings and adjusted their prescriptions.
"For the General, sticking to this prescription for half a year should suffice. As for Lady Song, continue for ten more days before switching to this Peace Formula."
After a major upheaval, Song Liu's whole person seemed thinner than before, her eyes deeply sunken and somewhat dim and lusterless.
Her look was that of one whose spirit had dried up.
