"Brother Chang, all the medicines in this prescription are warming and nourishing, so you can rest assured,"
"Little brother Zhang, I have another question for you. Considering my condition, how long do I need for a full recovery?"
Zhang Xiaobei pondered for a moment, "Six months!"
"Ah! Six months, isn't that a bit long? Is there any way to shorten the time? I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but your brother here just can't enjoy himself without 'wine'."
"Brother Chang, there are no shortcuts when it comes to treating an illness; it has to be done step by step. Sure, there are ways to see immediate effects, but the disease could rebound very severely, and if things go wrong, you might pay with your life!"
"Ah! Well... well... let's forget about it then? It's just six months of being a monk; I'll just take it as a rest!"
