Chapter 394
They found the village's most severely ill patient, determined to use this as a starting point. Wan'er bent down to carefully examine the patient's condition, and relying on her extensive knowledge accumulated from years of studying medical books, she astutely determined that this strange illness originated from the bite of an extremely rare poisonous insect in the mountains. The insect's venom was ferocious; after being bitten, the toxin spread rapidly throughout the body, eroding the patient's bodily functions. After much thought, she finally remembered that a mixture of several common plants might be able to counteract the poison. Without a word, the young man shouldered a bamboo basket and headed into the deep mountains, painstakingly searching for life-saving herbs among the thorns. Ye Jiuchen stayed in the village, calming the anxious villagers while methodically preparing the tools needed for treatment.
For several days, they worked tirelessly, repeatedly experimenting with the proportions of the medicine. Finally, a potion with a pleasant herbal fragrance was prepared. After the patient took it, their condition gradually stabilized, the redness began to fade, and the itching slowly subsided. The villagers witnessed this miraculous turn of events, and soon, cries for treatment rose and fell. Wan'er and her two companions worked tirelessly for several more weeks in the small mountain village, treating each patient and carefully preparing medicines. Seeing each patient gradually recover, smiles of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
With the last patient recovered, the mountain village finally returned to its former peace and joy. Smoke curled from chimneys, and children's laughter once again echoed through the valley. Wan'er, Ye Jiuchen, and the young man, amidst the villagers' grateful farewells, packed their bags and embarked once more on their journey of healing and saving lives, a journey filled with uncertainty yet brimming with unwavering determination. Their figures gradually disappeared along the mountain paths, leaving an indelible mark on the villagers' hearts and continuing to write a moving chapter of compassionate healing in this vast world.
Time slips through our fingers like sand, fleeting and unnoticed. In the long river of years, several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Feng and the renowned doctor, with their medical book imbued with countless hours of effort and wisdom, have risen to prominence in the medical world, shining like a dazzling star. Their clinic is bustling with activity, a constant stream of patients seeking treatment. From the first rays of sunlight in the morning until the deepest night, the clinic's doors remain open, welcoming every patient tormented by illness and bringing them hope for life.
On a cloudy, drizzly day, the sky was as dark and heavy as a leaden plate, oppressive and suffocating. Fine rain, like silver needles, fell in a flurry, splashing the ground. In the stillness, the clinic's door was slowly pushed open with a soft creak. A thin, haggard-looking young man carefully helped a frail elderly woman into the clinic. The young man's figure appeared particularly thin in the rain; his clothes were soaked and clung to his body. His face was etched with anxiety and worry, his brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes revealed profound helplessness and despair. The moment he entered, he could no longer contain his inner pain and fear. He knelt down before Mu Feng and the renowned doctor, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded tearfully, "Two divine doctors, please have mercy and save my mother! This illness has tormented her for far too long. We have searched everywhere for doctors and medicine, traveled all over the country, and visited countless famous doctors, but to no avail. I have heard that your medical skills are superb, like Hua Tuo reborn, and that you can surely bring her back to health and free her from the torment of her illness. I beg you two to save her! I kowtow to you!" As he spoke, he repeatedly kowtowed on the ground, the sound of his forehead hitting the floor echoing throughout the clinic.
Seeing this, Mu Feng and the renowned doctor were filled with pity and sympathy. They quickly stepped forward, gently helped the young man up, and softly comforted him, "Young man, don't worry, get up. We will do our best to treat your mother. Please relax and let us examine her condition first." Then, the two immediately began their intense diagnostic work. Their expressions were focused, their eyes revealing professionalism and meticulousness. First, they carefully observed the old woman's complexion; her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, as if the light of life was slowly fading away. Next, they carefully examined her tongue coating, scrutinizing its color, thickness, and texture—not overlooking a single detail. Finally, they cautiously took the old woman's pulse, their fingers gently resting on it, feeling the weak and erratic beat, not missing any subtle symptom. Time seemed to freeze at that moment; a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire clinic. After a detailed and thorough examination, Mu Feng and the renowned doctor's brows gradually furrowed, their eyes revealing a hint of seriousness. They realized that this was another extremely difficult and intractable disease, and conventional treatments would likely be ineffective, making it a tough challenge.
A surge of anxiety and unease welled up in Mu Feng's heart. He knew time was of the essence; every minute and every second was a matter of life and death for the old woman. He hurriedly turned around and rushed back to his study, rummaging through the mountain of books. His hands moved rapidly through the pages, his eyes revealing urgency. Finally, he found the medical book that represented years of their hard work. The cover was yellowed, and the pages were somewhat fragile, but in Mu Feng's eyes, it was a treasure. He carefully placed the book on the table and began to examine it meticulously, not missing any potentially useful information. The renowned physician, meanwhile, continued to observe the old woman's condition, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding slightly, pondering treatment methods. His eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if telling everyone that he would not give up easily.
After careful comparison and research, Mu Feng and the renowned doctor discovered that the old woman's symptoms were quite similar to a condition described in a medical book, yet with some subtle differences. These differences, though seemingly insignificant, could have a crucial impact on the treatment. The two sat together, earnestly discussing treatment options. They shared their opinions, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each possible treatment method. After a heated discussion, they decided to first try the prescription in the medical book as a trial treatment, hoping to find a cure. After all, it was the most likely effective method they could think of at the moment.
