It was a relief when they got to an area in the woods that was filled with herbs and Song Feng was able to treat the reserved force because none of the seven reserved forces were a doctor. They had been on the road for two days heading to meet the rest after spending two days to rest and recuperate, the seven reserved forces were already feeling better, the one that kept Si Ning's bow safe swollen eye had gone down that he could now open his eye, his swollen mouth had gone down too and he could now talk properly and even crack jokes.
So far so good, the journey was going so well and they haven't encountered any of Xilie's soldiers, the only encounter they had was with an elder farmer and his daughter picking herbs, Si Ning neither stop nor try to engage with them, after seeing that they were just ordinary people with fear written all over their faces as they stood frozen to their spot probably expecting Si Ning and his men to harass them but Si Ning and his men only passed by.
