Chapter 357
Tang Yuchen slightly curled his lips upward and asked him, “How long will it take to cure it?”
“It will take some time, at least half a year.”
“It’s okay, I’ve endured many years—half a year more won’t make a difference.”
Liang Weiming nodded, “Yes, I hadn’t expected that there would be hope for curing your illness. Come and get your medicine in a few days; I’ll prepare a month’s worth for you first. The detoxifying medicine is a bit strong, so if you feel discomfort, you must come back for an examination.”
“Toxicity?” Tang Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Liang Weiming nodded, “Yes, we’re using poison to fight poison. We have tried everything in the past, except for this method. We didn’t dare use poison on you before, because you had a lot of residual poison in your body. If you were poisoned again, your body certainly wouldn’t be able to take it. Now that I have cleared the residual poison to the lowest level, even if we use poison on you, it won’t cause harm to your body.”
The man nodded understandingly, looking at the elder who had worried about him for many years, and couldn’t help but express his gratitude, “Uncle Liang, thank you.”
“What are you thanking me for? You’re too polite, kid.” Liang Weiming patted his shoulder, looking at him with the same affection as one would look at their own child.
Tang Yuchen just smiled and said nothing more.
The kindness Uncle Liang had shown him, he would remember for a lifetime. When the time came that Uncle Liang needed his help, he would stand up for him, so he refrained from any more superfluous words.

Spring’s weather is lovely.
The sun is bright, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.
An Ruo had been cooped up at home for several months, doing rehabilitation exercises every day, and longed to go out for a walk, to clear her mind.
Before she had the chance to mention it to Tang Yuchen, he took the initiative to suggest taking her out to enjoy the spring.
It turned out they were on the same wavelength; An Ruo naturally agreed with delight.
With some snacks and essentials packed, just the two of them set off in the SUV.
They arrived at a popular countryside retreat, where Tang Yuchen parked the car, and then wheeled An Ruo for a stroll through the woods.
The forest here was artificially cultivated and had considerable aesthetic value.
Along the way, it was full of blooming flowers.
An Ruo, sitting in the wheelchair without having to walk, continuously took photos with her phone, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Tang Yuchen had been to this place before. As he walked, he described the scenery to her.
Although it was all man-made, it was still pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the spirit.
Because it was a weekday, there were barely any visitors at the retreat. Tang Yuchen had specifically chosen such a quiet time to bring her out.
On the weekends, it would certainly not be this tranquil.
Arriving at a stream, An Ruo noticed many plump fish in the water.
The stream wasn’t deep, probably only knee-high, and the water was clear to the bottom, yet it was baffling to see so many large fish swimming around.
Tang Yuchen explained with a smile, “These fish have been deliberately put in the water so guests can choose to fish with rods or try catching them with their hands. The fish caught can be taken to the kitchen to be cooked; each person can eat one fish for free.”
“Really? That’s amazing.” An Ruo was both surprised and delighted, “Then let’s catch a couple of fish and have the kitchen cook them.”
“Alright,” the man agreed with a smile, curling his lips.
He settled An Ruo on the shore, then took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pant legs to step into the stream.
As he stepped in, the fish around him scattered.
Tang Yuchen stood still in the center, waiting for the fish to swim by him.
He had already set his sights on a fish that looked to be about two pounds and was ready to catch it.
