It Really Works

"But can you guarantee that those who know how to farm will definitely succeed in growing these crops, doubling or even multiplying the yield severalfold, producing harvests several or even dozens of times greater than the original seeds?" Lin Nannan asked earnestly and solemnly.

Having known hunger herself, she felt deeply for the issue and was eager to change it.

Zhang Shengguo, clueless about crops, was once again at a loss for words. But he still refused to give up, thinking this was a rare opportunity for change that must be seized.

If he couldn’t change Lin Nannan’s mind, then they would have to adjust and cooperate.

No man could resist the appeal of guns.

After Zhang Shengguo pleaded and Lu Hang persuaded her, Lin Nannan eventually spent the day putting together the remaining guns. During this time, she still insisted on going up the mountain daily to gather herbs, process them, and brew medicine for Lu Hang. Otherwise, the work would have been completed even faster.

Zhang Shengguo would normally protest about other matters, but since this concerned Lu Hang’s health, no matter how impatient he felt inside, he didn’t dare push her openly, afraid of angering Lin Nannan.

Zhang Shengguo had asked Lu Hang and learned that the medicine was meant to regulate his body, so he didn’t think much of it. After receiving the modified guns from Lin Nannan, he kept the one she was most satisfied with and took the rest back alone, leaving behind the men he’d brought without a second thought.

Fortunately, the village chief took care of those men, arranging food and lodging for them. Otherwise, they might’ve thought they were being sold off.

After drinking the medicine for over ten days straight, Lu Hang showed no reaction, making Lin Nannan wonder if the Healing Solution had gone bad.

Even though she only gave him one drop a day, this was a high-efficiency Healing Solution—it should have had some effect. Yet Lu Hang showed no response at all, as if it were completely useless, making her second-guess herself...

Lu Hang had grown accustomed to the bitter medicine. Though he suspected his wife might be doing it on purpose, he didn’t want to upset her, so he forced himself to drink it all.

This time, after finishing the medicine, his mouth still bitter and numb, he noticed Lin Nannan staring at him thoughtfully, her serious look hard to miss. He asked, "What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Lin Nannan looked at him resentfully and said, "You’re the problem!"

"Me?" Lu Hang was surprised. "What did I do?"

He had been obedient and done nothing wrong—how was it his fault?

"After drinking the medicine for so many days, you really feel nothing at all?" she asked seriously.

Realizing what she meant, Lu Hang immediately said, "I’m not sure, but I think I felt a quick warmth in my lower back—just a fleeting sensation, like an illusion."

Hearing this, Lin Nannan thought for a moment and said, "Take it easy for now. Later, I’ll check if it was real."

"Alright!" Lu Hang was more on edge than she was. He hadn’t dared bring it up earlier, afraid of being disappointed.

An hour later, after pushing Lu Hang back inside, Lin Nannan had him lie face down and began examining him inch by inch, starting from his shoulders. At first, Lu Hang felt nothing, but when she reached the most severely injured area—where he had long lost sensation—a jolt of pain hit him, making him suck in a sharp breath. Instantly, he grew excited.

"Nan Nan, it’s working, isn’t it?" he asked.

Lin Nannan ignored him and kept checking further down. Finally, she sighed in relief and said, "If it didn’t work, we’d stop the medicine."

"That’s amazing—it really works!" Lu Hang lit up with joy. He’d hoped even a little progress would let him get in and out of his wheelchair alone.

Not like now—stuck helpless, needing help for everything.
