Qingshan Town.

About a mile from the official road, a courtyard with stone walls and green tiles stands at the west end of the village. It is quiet and peaceful, as if isolated from the world, broken only by the occasional crowing of chickens and barking of dogs.

Xueyao and her companions dismounted and walked along the path toward the courtyard. The sunlight shone on them, illuminating their determined steps and faces filled with anticipation. They knew this journey wasn't just about fulfilling a promise, it was also about saving a life.

Arriving at the courtyard gate, Xueyao knocked gently. After a moment, the door creaked open, and a pale, thin little boy poked his head out. Then, a woman wearing a dark blue headscarf came out.

"Sister-in-law, is this Yin Hong's family?" Xue Yao asked the woman with a smile.

The woman was a little shy, her face flushed, and she said, "You... who are you?"

"I am the doctor invited by Lin Hao. You can just call me Xueyao." Xueyao still smiled and said softly.

"Oh, yes, this is Yin Hong's family. Please come in and sit down." Hearing that it was a doctor, the woman seemed to let down her guard.

Xue Yao and her group followed the woman into the house. The furnishings in the house were simple and tidy, exuding a simple atmosphere.

They were led to a bedroom, where they saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed. He looked haggard and was obviously seriously ill.

Xue Yao walked to the bedside and saw that the man's eyes were closed and his face was pale. It was obvious that he was terminally ill.

After a careful examination, she discovered that the man had sustained multiple injuries and a weak pulse. His condition was more serious than she had imagined. His injuries had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and the prolonged delay and lack of proper treatment had made his condition even more serious.

But a glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that she was on this trip to save this life, and no matter how difficult it was, she would do her best to treat him.

She asked everyone to disperse, leaving Suxin to help, and then began to treat the man.

She first released an ice-blue mist to clear the man's meridians. Then she took out the silver needles she carried with her and accurately inserted them into the man's acupuncture points.

Su Xin took out the medicine box and began to prepare medicine for the man according to the prescription Xue Yao gave.

As time passed, beads of sweat began to form on Xueyao's forehead. But she did not stop what she was doing. She knew that she had to go all out to save this life.

An hour later, the man's pulse began to become strong and his complexion gradually returned to its rosy color.

Seeing this, Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief.

When the man woke up, he saw Xueyao and Suxin, his eyes filled with gratitude. He struggled to sit up, bowed deeply to Xueyao, and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, doctor. I, Yin Hongju, have no way to repay you, so I can only repay you in my next life!"

Xue Yao waved her hand and smiled, "That's not necessary. This is what we should do."

Yin Hongju never thought that his illness would get better one day, and he was extremely happy.

His wife had heard that Xueyao and others were coming, but even so, since she heard that they were coming from the capital, she always thought that it was so far away and they might not come.

So, when she saw Xueyao and others really coming, she was still a little bit unbelieving.

About a cup of tea later, Yin Hongju woke up and Xueyao and the others were about to leave to do something for the town. Yin Hongju's wife refused to let them go and insisted on having them stay for dinner.

As he was speaking, he heard a voice coming from the gate of the courtyard, "Ms. Xueyao, you are here." The voice was full of joy and gratitude.

Xueyao looked up and saw that it was the young man who helped Yin Hongju find Xueyao.

That day, in the capital, several groups of people went to Li's house to visit Xueyao and ask her for medical treatment.

Among the group of merchants, there was a young man, the one in front of us.

Everyone rushed to tell Xueyao why they had come. He suddenly stood up, a look of determination on his face. He said, "Miss Xueyao, I'm not here for myself. I have a good friend who lives far away. He was seriously injured in an accident and has been in a coma ever since. We've searched for famous doctors, but none have been able to wake him up. I've heard that you have extraordinary medical skills, so I've come to ask for your help."

Xueyao was moved when she heard this. She immediately agreed and asked him to leave her address, saying she would visit him in a few days.

Today, Xueyao and others followed the address he provided and found this remote Qingshan Town.

The young man's name was Lin Hao. He was a fellow townsman of Yin Hongju and also his good friend for many years.

At that time, she heard Lin Hao say that the patient's name was Yin Hongju, and he was not from the capital. He had traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find her, a doctor, for his good friend, so she wanted to give Yin Hongju a chance.

Now, Yin Hongju's illness is about to get better.

Xue Yao would certainly not forget the promise she made. Although she did not say it out loud, the promise was only in her heart, but she had to fulfill it and do what she promised.

With this idea in mind, Xueyao would naturally not feel at ease if it was not fulfilled.

So, after dinner, at Yin Hongju's house, Xue Yao said to Yin Hongju and Lin Hao: "You two are both virtuous people. I will teach you the high-yield planting and breeding in Qingshan Town first, and then you can teach everyone else."

Before the two of them could react, she continued, "Don't worry, I will arrange for people to deliver food, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. to each household. There will be seeds among them. You just need to follow my method to teach everyone."

Xueyao's words surprised and delighted Yin Hongju and Lin Hao. They had not expected that Xueyao was not only a skilled doctor, but also so generous as to send so many items and such valuable planting and breeding techniques, and was willing to teach them to this remote town.

Tears welled in Yin Hongju's eyes. He excitedly bowed to Xue Yao, "Miss Xue Yao, you are my savior and the savior of Qingshan Town. How can I...how can I repay your kindness?"

Xue Yao smiled and shook her head. "No need to repay me. As long as you can pass on these techniques to the residents of this town and let them live a better life, that will be the best reward for me."

Lin Hao was also very excited. He knew very well how important these technologies were to the town. He immediately said, "Miss Xueyao, don't worry. Brother Yin and I will definitely teach your technology to everyone in the town so that everyone can live a prosperous life."

Xue Yao nodded with satisfaction. Once these technologies became popular in the town, they would surely bring earth-shaking changes to the residents here.

Xueyao also taught Yin Hongju and Lin Hao some medical knowledge and the usage of common herbs. She also distributed the herbs from the secret garden to them and taught them how to grow them.

Both Yin Hongju and Lin Hao felt deeply honored.

This medical knowledge and herbs will be a great asset not only to them but also to the entire town. They promise to make good use of these resources to bring health and well-being to the residents of the town.
