Chapter 734 Only Nine People

The snow was still blowing, and the entire Qiuguan City was covered in snow. Although there were still people walking on the street, they were all wrapped up tightly, leaving only their eyes exposed to see the road.

Occasionally someone would fall and fall into the snow, taking a long time to climb out.

The snow was so thick that it was above the knees. When Ye Wenyan entered the city, he heard the guards say, "If this continues, will everyone be buried? It's only been a few days and the snow has piled up so thick, it's enough to bury a person. Don't let anyone die in the snow, or we won't be able to find them... Hey, you two, what are you doing? Where are you from? What are you doing in the city at this time?"

Seeing that they were being asked, Ye Wenyan took the initiative to speak: "Our boat had an accident in the river. After we got ashore, we fled all the way here. We wanted to go into the city to rest and find a doctor to check my legs." She stretched her legs forward, and the corners of her skirt were covered in blood.

The official immediately realized what was going on. "Are you from that boat? Are there still people on that boat? Come with me into the city quickly. I'll take you to the government office. Our master took people there a few days ago and hasn't come back yet! You go to the government office to rest first. We will ask the doctor to treat your leg. Don't worry, young lady. Doctor Qiu Guancheng's medical skills are still good and he will definitely be able to cure you."

Ye Wenyan was stunned when he heard this. "Have you received the news? Did the prefect go to rescue people?"

"Yes, it was His Highness's followers who reported the news. I never thought that His Highness's men were on that boat. You must have been separated by the river, right? But you are lucky to have made it to Qiuguan City in such a heavy snowstorm. It seems that you are blessed by God! Let's go into the city quickly. I see that you two are in a mess. I think you haven't eaten for a few days. Don't worry, as long as you are alive."

The official enthusiastically led the way for them, but unfortunately they could not take a carriage, so they could only walk to the yamen.

Ye Wenyan was relieved when he heard that it was arranged by the Fourth Prince. As long as Quan Qinghua was fine, Feng Zhaolian would be fine too. It didn't matter if they were separated. There would always be a day for them to reunite. The official was right. As long as everyone was still alive, it was better than anything else.

Qiuguan City is the capital city of Huaibei Prefecture. It is very large and the government office is also very impressive. Unfortunately, the former grandeur is no longer visible in such a heavy snowstorm. The officials are sweeping the snow in front of the gate. Although the snow has been falling, this is the government office and they can't let the snow pile up all the time. Even if the sweeping effect is not satisfactory, after finally clearing a path, the strong wind blows and the snow on the side is covered again.

There were officials cursing, all cursing the damn weather. There were also people with bitter faces, constantly muttering why it snowed in June, was it God's punishment for humans? But what exactly did humans do wrong?

When Ye Wenyan and his party arrived, they heard these shouts and complaints. The official who led them said, "Just sweep the snow, stop scolding, what's the use of scolding? Are you going to fight with God? Such a major celestial event is not something we mortals can control, and God is not something we mortals can count on. Instead of counting on God, we might as well count on the Emperor. Right now, only the Emperor can help us through this difficult time. Alas!"

He sighed, turned around and said to Ye Wenyan and the others, "Come with me and let's warm up in the house."

The two of them entered the government office, feeling unhappy. Mortals were counting on the Emperor, but they didn't know that the Emperor was right in front of them, and he was helpless in such weather. Who would have thought that this heavy snowstorm would make the Emperor no different from a mortal? Even someone like her who could promote flowers and attract spirits couldn't even give birth to a single spiritual power.

Ye Wenyan thought, if this was only temporary it would be fine, but if it would be like this forever, that would be the greatest sorrow.

After a lifetime of spiritual cultivation, one loses the spiritual power at the critical moment. What could be more tragic than this?

The people in the government office were very efficient. They not only prepared food for them quickly, but also invited a doctor to treat her leg. The doctor said, "This wound has been frozen in the ice and snow for several days. It should be much worse than it is now. But the girl has a good foundation and has not walked in the snow much, so the injury is not too serious. I will prescribe some medicine for internal and external application. It will be fine in a few days." After that, he asked Shi Liyuan, "Are you injured? It's not easy for me to come here once, so I will take a look at it."

Shi Liyuan shook his head, "I'm not injured, no need to worry about it." After that, he took the prescription and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Ye Wenyan. "Take a look at this medicine and see if it works."

The old doctor understood immediately after hearing this. "So the girl also knows medicine, that's even better. You can take a look at it yourself. If there is anything inappropriate, we can discuss and modify it. I am not a petty person. If someone can improve my prescription and achieve better results, it would be a blessing in life."

The old man is over fifty years old. He speaks sincerely and looks honest.

Ye Wenyan could understand his feelings: "Real doctors are willing to have more exchanges with their peers. As long as the other party is sincere, they will not be stingy with their medical skills, nor will they have the intention of not passing on their medical skills to others. Being a doctor is to help the world, not to make yourself famous. The old man is a wise man. It is a blessing for Qiuguan City to have a doctor like you."

As she spoke, she picked up the pen on the table, changed two herbs in the prescription, changed the dosage, and handed it back to him: "Take a look and see if this will be better."

The old doctor took it and looked at it, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Great! Great! I have used this prescription for half my life, and I never thought there would be such a modification. There is no need to test the efficacy of the medicine. People who understand medicine can see at a glance how much better it will be after the modification. Wait for me, young lady, I will get the medicine for you. If you are not busy later, we can talk more."

He was really happy, and Ye Wenyan could see that he was really happy, but she felt very complicated.

A good doctor is the hope of a city or even a country. She is very willing to see a doctor who has excellent medical skills, is willing to communicate with his peers, and is willing to accept his own shortcomings. Unfortunately, this person is too old. In a few years, he will die at the age of sixty. She doesn't know whether she can welcome the gathering of the five veins and break the shackles of heaven and earth before he dies.

They stayed in the government office for five days, and the old doctor did not leave. He stayed there on the pretext of treating her leg injury, and discussed medical skills with Ye Wenyan whenever he had time. He even wrote down many prescriptions, trying to write down all the prescriptions he knew, and then asked Ye Wenyan to read them and help improve them.

Ye Wenyan told him, "Prescriptions are not fixed. They need to be adjusted according to the different conditions of each patient. Your prescriptions can only be said to be general prescriptions. To truly treat the disease, we still need to see the patient to further determine the amount of each medicine, so I can't change the prescription for you. But don't be disappointed. Although I can't change the prescription for you, to thank you for curing my leg injury and for being such a kind doctor, I can teach you a set of acupuncture methods. This set of acupuncture methods is specially used to treat serious diseases. It can even use only one needle to suspend the heart pulse when the person only has one breath left. After completing the complete set of acupuncture methods, serious diseases become minor ones."

The old doctor was stunned. "There is such a method of acupuncture? Isn't that a magical method? If a serious illness is turned into a mild one, it will be easier to treat. If there is such a method of acupuncture, how many people can survive!"

He was so excited that he couldn't believe it. Ye Wenyan had already taken out a pen and paper to draw the acupuncture steps, and then carefully taught him the weight of each needle and several key acupuncture points.

After teaching the acupuncture method, the old doctor went to digest and absorb the knowledge. A soldier came in from outside and talked to her. He told her that all the people rescued from the river had returned, and asked her to go over and see if there was anyone she knew, so that they could report to each other that they were safe.

Ye Wenyan and his teacher Li Yuan hurried to the front hall, and asked the official as they walked: "I heard that the person who came to report the news was someone close to the Fourth Prince. Did that person come back with him?"

The official shook his head, "I heard about this from the prefect. He said he didn't come back and left after the government rescue arrived. Oh, by the way, he also said that the Fourth Prince was there, it's a pity that we didn't go, otherwise we could have seen what the royal prince looks like. I heard that the Fourth Prince is very good-looking and a good person. The money for treating the wounded this time was all paid by the Fourth Prince." Ye Wenyan felt a little disappointed. Quan Qinghua and the others didn't come back with her. It seemed that they still couldn't be reunited. She thought for a while and asked the official again: "Have you heard who is with the Fourth Prince? In addition to his entourage, is there anyone else?"

The official shook his head. "I don't know about that. The prefect didn't mention it either. Hey girl, why are you so interested in the Fourth Prince's affairs? Do you know him?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "I guess we know each other. We were all on the same boat. The Fourth Prince took good care of us during those days on the boat, so I naturally hope that they are all safe. In addition, I know there was a woman in the Fourth Prince's group. We got along well when we were on the boat. I'll ask my brother to help me find out if the people who went to rescue her have seen her."

"So that's how it is. Well, don't worry, I will definitely help you find out."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the front hall. Ye Wenyan recognized at a glance that this group of people was the one he had seen on the boat, but there were too few of them. After counting, there were only nine of them. There were seventy or eighty people on that boat! Could they all be dead?

The prefect of Huaibei was also there at this time, and he was personally arranging for the doctors who came to treat the wounded. At the same time, he ordered his men to prepare guest rooms so that all these people could recuperate in the government office. Not only did they have to recuperate, but they also had to avoid the wind and snow. When the wind and snow stopped and the road was easy to walk on, he would arrange for people to take them back to their respective homes.

He also said: "This is all the instructions from His Highness the Fourth Prince. This government must complete this task. You must also cooperate with this government to make things beautiful. When this government goes to the capital to receive the credit, you will also be counted as one of them."

The officers were very happy. The officer who led Ye Wenyan and Shi Liyuan here took the opportunity to ask, "Why didn't the Fourth Prince come to Qiuguan City? Sir, are the people with the Fourth Prince not injured?"

The prefect was stunned: "What do you mean those people that the Fourth Prince brought with him? The Fourth Prince only has one follower!"

Ye Wenyan's body swayed and he almost fainted...
