Xiao Lei, my dear sister, I hope you are doing well.
It's been more than a month since I left home. All is well. Please do not worry.
I have had an infirm body ever since I was a child, and it has caused you much trouble. I left in an attempt to give you a happy life without having to worry about me. Again, don't worry. I won't commit suicide or hurt myself.
Because of my legs, I was a burden to our father and brother before they died, and now I'm a burden to you. For more than two hundred years, we went from one doctor to another, and my legs never improved. I only feel bottomless guilt and shame from this.
But we don't have to worry about my legs anymore. I'm helping out with a clinical trial for a confidential project of the Alchemy Commission.
The alchemist in charge of my section told me that they tried very hard to get the Six Charioteers to allow for the development of new medical treatments, aimed at managing the various chronic diseases that afflict patients for hundreds of years on Xianzhou.
However, it is a requirement that participants must not divulge any relevant information until the research has made significant progress, so I have to keep this letter in my pocket for the time being. I will send it to you when I have the opportunity to go out.
These treatments are indeed effective. I used to need crutches to walk, but now I am fleet of foot. Even those alchemists were amazed at my recovery speed. They said I'm a miracle.
Actually, the medicine they use is rather weird. I asked the chief alchemist the name of this medicine, and they only smiled and said: "This is the gift of the Merciful Medicus." I don't quite understand, and they didn't explain it more.
But at least the medicine is effective. That's a good thing.However, this comes at a price. Every time I take the medicinal pellet, I feel sharp piercing pain all over my body and my memories get all confused.
Let's not talk about these unhappy things. I want to tell you a great piece of news. The Alchemy Commission will give me a lot of money after the clinical trial is over.
By then I will have both a healthy body and a fortune. We will have enough money to buy an inn in a good location.
A location near the port in a big city would be the best. That way, we can receive tourists, and you won't need to work anymore. We'd have money! I'll hire a few people to take care of the business with me. All you need to do is pursue your dreams or do whatever you want in the big city. You deserve the best.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Your loving brother, Xiao Ju
