If someone's body is diseased, festering, should the rotten flesh be cut away, to allow for regeneration in pain, or should they consume dose after dose of bitter medicine, believing in a cure?
If it is a skilled physician, they would employ both methods, both excising the rot and nourishing the body with medicine and food, only then can recovery be swift.
If the patient is weak, then one method must be chosen, but starting treatment now will always be effective.
But what if the patient is unwilling to have the flesh cut away or to consume medicine?
Marching through frost, Han Mofeng, the Flank General of the Martial Army from Qinghai State in Da Chen's Hanhai Path, lifted his head and saw the overcast sky at the Northern Border clear.
The brilliance of the sun spilled over distant ridges onto the Ice Forest, forming dazzling halos at the tips of the ice.
