Chapter 340
After Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen left the vast, vibrant grassland, they traveled to a bustling, lively town. However, what greeted their eyes was not the town's former prosperity, but a scene of gloom and despair. A somber atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys; the people wore expressions of pain, some lying in their homes, others huddled in street corners, coughing incessantly, feverish, and weak. The entire town seemed shrouded in a gloom, the rampant disease causing unbearable suffering.
Seeing this, Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were extremely anxious and immediately threw themselves into the work of treating the epidemic. They tirelessly traversed every corner of the town, going door-to-door to examine the patients, carefully observing their symptoms, and diligently inquiring about the progression of the disease, leaving no detail overlooked. However, the deeper their understanding, the more their brows furrowed, and the heavier their worries became. This epidemic was fierce, with complex and varied symptoms, and was highly contagious. Their past experience and knowledge seemed somewhat inadequate in the face of this epidemic, and the rather difficult situation plunged them into deep sorrow.
Just as they were racking their brains for a cure for the plague, the familiar sound of hooves approached from afar. Looking up, they saw the intelligent and brave young man they had met on the grasslands, dressed in strange clothes, riding towards them at breakneck speed. The young man's face showed a mixture of anxiety and concern. After his horse came to a stop, he quickly dismounted and walked to Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen. Before they could ask any questions, he said, "I heard about the plague outbreak here and was worried, so I brought some special herbs from our tribe to help. These herbs are from a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors, and they have remarkable effects on some difficult-to-treat illnesses. Perhaps they can help with this plague." With that, the young man unloaded a package from his horse and carefully opened it. Inside were herbs they had never seen before, with strangely shaped leaves, vibrant and unique colors, and emitting a faint, mysterious aura.
A flicker of surprise and hope crossed Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's eyes as they accepted the herbs and examined them carefully. The young man explained in detail the properties and effects of the herbs, as well as the methods and experiences used in their tribe. The three sat together, working collaboratively to develop a prescription based on the symptoms of the epidemic and the properties of the herbs. After careful consideration and discussion, they finally determined a preliminary method for preparing the medicine. Wan'er and the young man then quickly began decocting the medicine, while Ye Jiuchen continued to examine the other patients, recording every subtle change so that the treatment plan could be adjusted as needed.
However, despite their best efforts, some patients, weakened by the prolonged illness, were beyond saving, their conditions too advanced for even the best medicine. Watching those lives slip away before their eyes, Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were filled with grief and helplessness, but they did not give up. Ye Jiuchen knew that conventional treatments might not be enough to save these critically ill patients, so he decided to take a risk and try acupuncture to stimulate their acupoints and unleash their potential, hoping to salvage a chance of survival. Wan'er assisted him intently, handing him the needles, wiping away his sweat, and constantly monitoring the patients' reactions and Ye Jiuchen's expression, her eyes filled with trust and support.
In these difficult times, time seemed to stretch endlessly. The three men worked tirelessly, day and night, staying by the patients' sides, waging a breathtaking life-or-death battle against the epidemic. After several days and nights of arduous effort, their sacrifices finally began to pay off. The patients' conditions gradually came under control; their fevers began to subside, their coughs lessened, and their previously weak bodies gradually regained some vitality. As more and more patients recovered, the gloom in the town slowly dissipated, and a glimmer of hope shone once more on this land.
When the people learned that the epidemic had been brought under control, the entire town erupted in jubilation. People cheered and wept with joy, flooding the streets to express their deepest gratitude to Wan'er, Ye Jiuchen, and the young man. To commemorate their life-saving act, the people spontaneously raised funds to erect a monument in their honor. The monument stands in the town's central square, inscribed with their heroic deeds of bravery and selflessness, becoming a permanent landmark in the town and etched in the hearts of every resident.
However, Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen did not linger too long amidst the joy of victory and the people's hospitality. They knew that many places in the world were still shrouded in disease and disaster, and countless lives awaited their rescue. After a brief rest and regrouping, they bid farewell to the grateful town and set off once again into the unknown. The kind and brave young man was deeply moved by Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's compassionate hearts and superb medical skills. He expressed his willingness to follow them for a period of time to learn more medical techniques so that he could better help his people in the future.
As the first rays of sunlight bathed them in the morning glow, it seemed to drape them in a golden light. Facing the rising sun, the three walked with firm and powerful steps towards the next place where they were needed. Their hearts were filled with anticipation for their future medical journey, their eyes revealing unwavering determination and courage. They knew that the road ahead might still be full of thorns and challenges, but their burning hearts as healers would forever guide them forward, dispelling the shadows of illness, bringing more light and hope to the world, and continuing to write their own legendary chapter.
Mountain Village Dispelling Misfortune
Following the winding and rugged path, they trekked all the way and finally arrived at the remote mountain village forgotten deep in the mountains. Surrounded by green mountains like a fortress, the village was isolated from the outside world. The lack of transportation made it seem like a paradise, but it also kept the villagers in a quagmire of poverty and ignorance.
As soon as they stepped into the village, cries of agony pierced their hearts like sharp arrows. A strange disease was raging in the small village, covering the bodies of the afflicted with red rashes that resembled the marks of a hideous demon. The intense itching tormented every patient, and those with severe cases would eventually die from ulceration all over their bodies, a gruesome sight too painful to behold.
Wan'er was frantic and immediately stepped forward to treat the villagers. However, the villagers looked fearful and resistant, firmly believing this was punishment from heaven. They considered mortal healing to be disobeying the will of the gods, an act that would anger them and bring even greater calamity. Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen gently persuaded them, patiently explaining the principles of the illness to the villagers, trying to break the shackles of superstition in their hearts. The clever boy then took out the herbs left over from their journey, demonstrating their miraculous healing effects. Although the villagers still had doubts, a glimmer of hope began to appear in their eyes.
