Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze fell on Zhou Xiangrong. “You said you can cure the plague-infected victims?”

Zhou Xiangrong raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jin quickly before lowering her eyes again. “Yes. I have already discovered the root cause of the patient’s disease. As long as the root cause is removed, the disease will be cured. Yesterday, I have already begun treating the patients in the city. Before I came over this morning, I also went to the dilapidated temple to verify that those patients who took my medicine yesterday have already shown clear improvements.”

Unlike Wei Zhongming, Xiao Jin wasn’t skeptical about Zhou Xiangrong’s ability. He only asked, “What medicine did you give them?”

Zhou Xiangrong took out a prescription from her dress. “Sir, please take a look.”

Xiao Jin didn’t know medicine, so he only glanced at it. “Do you know what illness it is?”

“My Lord, I’ve never encountered this illness before either. However, I discovered that the heart vessels of these patients are damaged. Because the symptoms of the stomach are more serious, it’s easy to overlook the condition of the heart vessels during treatment. As a result, the patients cannot receive timely treatment, and they will suddenly die when the illness acts up.”

Zhou Xiangrong’s words were clear and logical, and they did not seem like lies, but Xiao Jin naturally would not believe her easily.

“Are there any other doctors here?” Xiao Jin asked.

Wei Zhongming said hurriedly, “Yes, yes. Go. Summon the other doctors here.”

The official walked towards the tent and soon brought two white-haired doctors over.

“Greetings, Lord Wei.”

Wei Zhongming told the two of them to rise. “Just now, this woman said that the disease was caused by the damage to the patient’s heart vessels. What do you two think?”

The two doctors raised their heads to look at Zhou Xiangrong and said, “My Lord, how could this young girl know any medical skills? The patient’s stomach was clearly the most severely damaged, so how could it have anything to do with the heart vessels?”

After listening to them, Wei Zhongming displayed a smug expression that implied that he expected this reply. “I know that many people want to make a name for themselves by taking advantage of this natural disaster. However, you should also be clear about the situation and assess your own capabilities. Don’t harm innocent people for your own selfish desires. Enough. Leave this place quickly. Don’t come here again henceforth.”

Zhou Xiangrong frowned. “My Lord, you have to give me two days. If the seriously sick patients don’t get better in two days, I will definitely leave.” “What if they die? Can you afford to bear the responsibility?”

“I can bear it,” Zhou Xiangrong said confidently.

Wei Zhongming didn’t expect Zhou Xiangrong to answer in such a forthright manner. For a moment, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, an official ran to them with a pale face and said anxiously, “Doctor, doctor! Save him! Save him quickly. There’s a patient who’s about to die!”

Before the two elderly doctors could react, Zhou Xiangrong turned around and rushed over.

Xiao Jin looked at Zhou Xiangrong’s departing figure and thought for a while before following her.

Wei Zhongming didn’t want to get close to this place at all, but since Xiao Jin was walking in, he could only brace himself and follow him.

However, Xiao Jin only stood outside the tent.

The conditions in the tent were also very rudimentary. The ground was simply covered with a layer of straw and leaves. The patient was lying on the straw. At this moment, a child who looked to be about ten years old was lying on the ground and convulsing. He looked like he was about to die.

Zhou Xiangrong took out a silver needle and inserted it into the patient’s hand between the thumb and the index finger. Then, she took out a pill and stuffed it into the patient’s mouth. Thereafter, she turned his face to the side so that the white foam he vomited out would not flow back into his wind pipe.

After doing all these things, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the foam from the child’s mouth and nose. Her expression was earnest and gentle and it attracted people’s attention.

Zhou Xiangrong’s movements were as smooth as flowing water. It was obvious that she was an experienced doctor. She definitely knew medical skills.

Not long after that, the child’s convulsions stopped, and his stiff and tense muscles gradually relaxed. He lay weakly on the straw, motionless.

The two elderly doctors who had rushed over sighed heavily when they saw the child’s symptoms. “Such a poor child. To think that he is going to perish at such a young age.”

They had already been here for a few days. Every time a patient showed such symptoms, he was not far from death.

It wasn’t that the doctors hadn’t thought of saving them before, but every time they tried, they couldn’t save them at all. They were more or less disheartened. “What do you mean?” Xiao Jin turned to them and asked. free webnov el.com

“My Lord, based on my experience, whenever a patient displays such symptoms, there’s no hope for him. The heart vessels are rapidly weakening, and the person will die within fifteen minutes. Even if the God Almighty descended from the heavens, he won’t be able to save this patient.”

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the child on the ground suddenly coughed and opened his two eyes slowly.

The two doctors widened their eyes in shock and walked forward to check the child’s pulse in disbelief. When they found that his pulse was getting stronger and stronger, the astonishment in their eyes could not be hidden.

“How… how is this possible!”

“That’s right. Just now, it was clear… it was clear…”

“Just now, Miss Zhou saved this child and he got better,” the official who had gone to deliver the message suddenly spoke.

The two elderly doctors looked embarrassed. “This shouldn’t be… That’s impossible…”

“Actually, this illness is not difficult to treat. As long as the damaged part of the heart vessel is repaired first, this illness can then be treated like an ordinary stomach discomfort. Earlier, I fed him the medicine to treat the heart vessels.” Zhou Xiangrong took out a black pill.

After Zhou Xiangrong finished speaking, she raised her eyes and met Xiao Jin’s probing expression. She returned his gaze boldly without any timidness.

A trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Jin’s eyes. “I’ll give you two days. Can you cure two seriously ill patients?”

A confident smile flashed across Zhou Xiangrong’s eyes. It added a dash of dazzling radiance to her pale-colored dress. “Yes, as long as the patient does not have other serious illnesses. If it is the plague, I can definitely cure them in two days.”

“Alright. Lord Wei, you have to supervise this matter properly.”

Wei Zhongming quickly replied, “Yes, I will pay attention to the patients’ conditions at all times.”

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, turned around, and left the area where the patients were placed.

Wei Zhongming followed him ingratiatingly. “My Lord, it’s getting late now. Why don’t we return to the city first? I’ve already sent a messenger to the mountain. I believe that it won’t be long before they bring that impostor back.”

Xiao Jin looked in the direction of the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly. “I want to enter the mountain now. Lead the way.”

Wei Zhongming had no choice but to lead the way.

Wei Zhongming only knew that his men had brought Su Ying to the foot of this mountain, but he didn’t know in detail what they had done or where they had gone.

The sun had already set in the west, and the multicolored light illuminated the entire sky until it turned orange.

Wei Zhongming looked at the mountain range behind him and said humbly, “My Lord, the sky is getting dark. Why don’t we come back tomorrow? It’s dangerous to go into the mountains at night.”

Xiao Jin looked at the mountain range.. He had a strong feeling that he was getting closer and closer to Su Ying!
