"Of course, my brother has a way."

People are not acclimatized, Chinese medicine has already prescribed medicine in time, and the medicinal materials are complete. The condition of several Qing Dynasty people who are not acclimatized has stabilized, and they will arrive later when they recover.It can be seen that Mr. Brown is now very respectful of Chinese medicine.It is confirmed that two Chinese medicine practitioners have been invited, a pair of masters and apprentices and their family members.

After Mr. Brown left, Mr. Jin asked Serena: "Serina, you asked Mr. Brown to find all kinds of talents from the Qing Dynasty for you two years ago. What do you think?"

"I read books and found that the unique medical skills of the Qing Dynasty, Chinese medicine, are the most suitable for recuperating the body.
