Chapter 327, come on!
Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately threw themselves into the intense rescue work. Dongfang Wan'er quickly opened her medicine box and, relying on her superb medical skills and rich experience, began to busily prepare various medicines. Her eyes were focused and firm, and the medicine scales and spoons in her hands seemed to come alive under her manipulation, accurately measuring each ingredient. Ye Jiuchen, on the other hand, fully demonstrated his composure and efficiency, helping to maintain order at the scene and ensuring that the patients could receive treatment in an orderly manner. At the same time, he also carefully cared for those patients who were more seriously ill and unable to take care of themselves, giving them water and medicine, wiping away their sweat, and providing them with emotional support.
However, as the rescue efforts progressed, they discovered that the epidemic was far more severe and challenging than they had imagined. The medications they carried were quickly running out in the face of the overwhelming influx of patients. This situation caused the two men to furrow their brows, their hearts filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Just as they were deeply troubled by this matter, an elderly woman with gray hair and a hunched back emerged shakily from the crowd. She clutched a yellowed medical book tightly in her hands; the pages looked fragile, as if they would crumble at the slightest touch. The old woman handed the book to Dongfang Wan'er, saying in a hoarse voice, "This is my family's ancestral medical book. Perhaps it will be of some use against this epidemic. Young lady, please take a look." Dongfang Wan'er, with a glimmer of hope, took the book with both hands and gently turned the old pages. It contained detailed records of the combined uses of several extremely rare medicinal herbs, which, according to the book, might effectively control the epidemic.
A renewed flame of hope ignited in their eyes. They immediately began searching for the medicinal herbs, following the descriptions in the medical texts. The process was fraught with difficulties; they traversed mountains and valleys, visited numerous places, and even encountered some minor dangers, but fortunately, they eventually gathered all the necessary herbs. Immediately afterward, Dongfang Wan'er devoted herself entirely to the preparation of the new medicine. She carefully mixed the herbs according to the prescribed proportions and then meticulously brewed it using her unique method. Once the new medicine was ready, they quickly administered it to the patients.
Time passed slowly amidst everyone's anxious wait, and finally, a miracle occurred. The patients' conditions gradually began to improve; their pale faces regained some color, and their painful groans gradually subsided. Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles of contentment appeared on their faces.
After days and nights of tireless struggle, the epidemic in the small town was finally brought under control. The villagers were deeply grateful, their eyes filled with respect and gratitude. Some brought fresh vegetables and fruits they had grown themselves, others gave them hand-sewn clothing, and still others held their hands, repeatedly expressing their thanks, reluctant to let go. Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er politely declined most of the villagers' gifts, accepting only some simple provisions and water. Filled with a sense of accomplishment, they set off again for the next place where they were needed. They knew that on this vast land, many people were still struggling with illness, waiting for their help. Therefore, they continued steadfastly on their path of healing and saving lives, their steps never faltering, their faith growing ever stronger, all for their initial aspiration and mission to save lives and heal the wounded, so that the light of warmth and hope could illuminate more corners of the world.
They endured wind and rain, sleeping in the open, until they finally arrived at that remote mountain village, seemingly forgotten by the world. Towering mountains embraced the village like giants, with only a winding, rugged path barely connecting it to the outside world, like a thin thread maintaining this fragile link between the land and the outside world.
The moment they stepped into the village, a chorus of coughs descended like dark clouds, each sound piercing the hearts of Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen. Without the slightest hesitation or delay, the two quickly threw themselves into the work of diagnosis and treatment. However, the scene before them only made their hearts grow heavier—the rudimentary medical conditions, the scarce medicine reserves, and even the most basic medicinal herbs were nowhere to be found, undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Just as they were feeling conflicted, Ye Jiuchen's gaze was suddenly drawn to a strange green hue on a distant mountain. He strode forward, examined it closely, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the plant was remarkably similar to a medicinal herb he had once glimpsed in an old woman's medical book as a substitute. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er's eyes flashed with determination. Although she knew the risks of using this unfamiliar substitute, looking at the villagers suffering from illness, she resolutely decided to give it a try.
After careful collection and meticulous preparation, the medicinal soup was served to the patient. Time seemed to freeze; everyone held their breath, watching intently as the patient drank the soup. After a moment, the patient's breathing gradually stabilized, and the pained expression began to ease. The tightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and it truly had a miraculous effect! As the treatment proceeded methodically, one patient after another gradually recovered, and laughter and joy dispelled the gloom that had hung over the village like the warm spring sun.
At this hopeful moment, an elderly man approached with faltering steps. Time had etched deep lines on his face, yet the light in his eyes revealed the wisdom and compassion of a former healer. It turned out that the old man had once been a doctor, but illness had robbed him of his ability to practice. With trembling hands, he handed a treasured notebook to Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen. It was the culmination of his life's work, meticulously recording unique treatments for many difficult illnesses and years of accumulated medical experience.
Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen received the notebook, their hands trembling slightly, their hearts filled with surprise and emotion. They knew that this notebook carried not only medical knowledge, but also a responsibility and a legacy, which would become a beacon of hope for saving more patients in the future.
Saying goodbye to the warm and grateful mountain village, the two embarked on their journey once more, heading towards the unknown lands in the distance. Carrying their newly acquired valuable knowledge and shouldering the unwavering commitment and mission of healers, their figures gradually receded into the sunlight, leaving behind shining footprints of hope on this land, as if proclaiming their steadfast vow to save all living beings, continuing on their journey, never ceasing.
