After the sentimental farewell from Nuan, Mei Deng was in better spirits and actively wanted to help the procession in anyway he could. Considering the fact that they had been travelling for more than six days, it wasn't uncommon for someone to have gotten hurt or caught a cold. Hence he opted to help, but Kuángrén was just twice better and twice quicker than he was in administration and diagnosis.
To worsen things, whenever he tried to get with the general, he was blocked off by Pangling who stuck to the General's side, rubbing heads together on food rationing and choosing a travel route.
Thanks to the maps they had stolen from the bandits, the general was able to map out the areas safest from the attacks, and hence avoid any more confrontations.
Naturally Mei Deng was grateful for the good progression, according to the word going around, they would arrive at the Wang family house in a day, which meant they were nearing their final destination.
