Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 9 Life is in danger

On the bustling streets of Yunyan Town, a plump woman was speaking loudly and enthusiastically, like a cheerful bird:

"My daughter is so pretty! She's the same age as the little doctor. It would be a perfect match for them to be married! My family is quite wealthy, and we have meat to eat every month!"

"Hehe! With your looks, it would be a rare thing for you to give birth to a pretty girl!" A person next to him said with a laugh, a teasing look on his face.

"Yes! Yes!" There was a sudden burst of boos all around. The aunt's face flushed with shame when she heard so many questioning voices. She covered her face with her hands embarrassedly, as if she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Little Miracle Doctor! Do you want a wife? I guarantee she'll be young and beautiful!"...

Suo Chao seemed oblivious to the words of the spectators. He walked briskly, like a breeze, towards Shopkeeper Zhang, who was running towards him. He had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were clear and determined.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you did a great job this time!" Suo Chao said with a smile, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of panic, and said:

"Little doctor, you are embarrassing me by saying this. It's all your credit!" His expression was very sincere, and his eyes were full of respect for Suo Chao.

"My ability is limited. It's a great merit that you can make the prescription benefit more people!" Suo Chao looked at Shopkeeper Zhang and said seriously, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Thank you for your kind words, young doctor. I am just going with the flow and trying to promote your medical skills." Shopkeeper Zhang said modestly, his face full of respect.

"This is all thanks to your prescription! It's really effective!" Shopkeeper Zhang said sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude towards Suo Chao.

At this time, the streets were still bustling with people and noise, but the two of them seemed to be in a quiet corner, communicating attentively.

Shopkeeper Zhang hasn't suffered any setbacks lately, enjoying both fame and fortune. He's also made a good profit selling medicinal herbs. While he hasn't hoarded them or driven up prices, thanks to the large volume of sales, he's made a killing in the past two weeks.

Shopkeeper Zhang was in a good mood and acted generously. For those who couldn't afford the medicine, he hired them to resell the herbs in his own town. This way, they not only paid off the medicine bills, but also saved a considerable amount of living expenses.

Suo Chao nodded with satisfaction:

"Manager Zhang, I'm leaving Yunyan Town this time and may not be back for a long time! Today I'm saying goodbye to you!"

Shopkeeper Zhang's face was gloomy as he looked at this magical little baby. He knew in his heart that a small ditch could not hide a real dragon after all.

"Is it so urgent? Little doctor, if I have something urgent, where should I go to find you?" Shopkeeper Zhang said as he looked at Suo Chao anxiously, his eyes full of worry and anxiety, and his hands were unconsciously clenched together, showing his inner tension.

"Don't worry! I'm going to Yandu County in Guangling County. You have performed well during this period! I will write a few more prescriptions for you!" Suo Chao said with a smile in a very gentle tone.

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and the gloom on his face disappeared. He was beaming, like someone who had suddenly won a big prize. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were sparkling with excitement. He was so excited that his hands were shaking:

"Little Miracle Doctor, how can this be possible! That magic prescription is a priceless treasure!"

The prescriptions he'd been given previously had already made him a lot of money. If he could find a few more miraculous ones, he believed he could amass a substantial fortune. However, Suo Chao didn't take it seriously. He felt that these prescriptions could help more people, and that was what mattered most.

"It's okay. As long as you continue to treat people's illnesses and prescribe medicine based on your conscience, you deserve this prescription!" Suo Chao encouraged.

Suo Chao asked Zhang for a piece of cloth and a pen, and the two of them went to the back compartment and wrote down four prescriptions: one for diarrhea, one for burns, one for coughs, and one for urticaria. These were all for common ailments.

For diarrhea: decoct Schisandra chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Coptis chinensis in water and drink.

For burns: egg yolk oil method.

For cough: Ephedra, perilla leaves, earthworms, honey loquat leaves, fried perilla seeds, cicada shells, Peucedanum chinense, fried burdock seeds, Schisandra chinensis, decocted in water and taken orally.

For urticaria: Boil some maple berries and two duck eggs in water and drink.

During this era, the popularity of Caihou paper was not high, and many books were still mainly written on bamboo slips. Some important information could also be written on cloth.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the prescriptions with a look of surprise. His heart was as excited as if thousands of deer were running around in panic.

"Little Miracle Doctor, you're just going to hand over such an important thing to me like that?"

Suo Chao didn't know if he could find all the herbs, so he spent some time explaining the prescriptions. He also helped him find alternative herbs for the ones he couldn't find. Shopkeeper Zhang thanked him repeatedly:

"Little Miracle Doctor, I will definitely run this pharmacy well. I will strive to spread your medical skills and reputation."

After explaining everything, Suo Chao was about to say goodbye to the shopkeeper. Before leaving, Shopkeeper Zhang took out a package from the side and said:

"Little doctor, here is one gold coin. Please accept it. These prescriptions are priceless, and this one gold coin is far from enough to buy them. This is my little token of appreciation!"

Suo Chao looked at Zhang the shopkeeper and didn't refuse. He took the package he handed over, which contained a thick winter coat. He tried it on and found it fit him perfectly. He secretly sighed that this shopkeeper was very thoughtful. In the interlayer inside, there was also a gold coin and 300 coins of five-zhu coins.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you are so thoughtful."

Shopkeeper Zhang was overjoyed and happily escorted Suo Chao out the door. He shouted:

"The fact that this epidemic was cured is entirely due to the efforts of the little miracle doctor. Let us bid farewell to the little miracle doctor together!"

Suddenly, a large group of people knelt down and thanked!

"Thank you, little doctor!" "Little doctor, take care on your journey!"

The people of this era are simple and honest. As long as they have enough food to eat and are not starving to death, they will not rebel. Those who can keep them alive are their adoptive parents!

"Fellow villagers, please get up quickly! You are embarrassing me! I am not that great. This is all thanks to Manager Zhang. Without him, I would not have the energy to treat so many people."

Zhang and Suo Chao quickly helped the elderly villagers to their feet. They stood in a row and watched Suo Chao leave.

Suo Chao bowed deeply to them, then quickened his pace and walked out of the town.

As I walked to the suburban shelter I'd been to last time, a crisp system notification chimed in my head. The treasure map hadn't been updated in the past two weeks, and I'd thought the system had vanished.

[Ding, a treasure chest is detected nearby, do you want to open it? ]

Suo Chao cursed angrily:

"You damn system, where the hell have you been? Didn't you promise me three treasure maps every day? Where are the treasure maps I've been looking for these days?"

[Beep, there's a system bug! We'll update and restart later.]

[Alarm, alarm, the host's current lifespan is minus 3 days. If no lifespan is gained within a quarter of an hour, the host will be wiped out.]

"What?" Suo Chao's anger disappeared and his face was full of surprise.

[Beep, beep! 15 minutes left before the automatic restart! All abnormal data will be restored after the restart!]

[Beep, beep! Detected a normal treasure chest. Open it?]

Suo Chao's head was swollen with black lines. What choice did he have? It seemed he still had 15 days to live. It was just that the dog system had disappeared for so long, I thought I was cured. Now I can start playing around. I didn't expect there was an erasure mode!

【Open! 】

[Congratulations to the host, you have received a 200g roasted sweet potato]

"What? That's it? My life!"

Suo Chao continued to examine the remaining two treasure maps, both of which were in the town. Fortunately, the distance between here and the town was not too far. One of the treasure maps was buried under the archway of Yunyan Town.

"Dog system, can the treasure map reveal a longevity item?"

[Beep! Beep! Alarm, 14 minutes left!]

Suo Chao was speechless. He immediately activated his swift movement, thankful he hadn't used it, or he'd be dead. Afterimages trailed by, Suo Chao quickly reached the memorial archway. Inscribed on it were three large, gilded characters: "Yunyan Town."

[Beep! A common treasure chest has been detected. The system has entered energy-saving mode and cannot be opened automatically. Please dig it out automatically.]

"What the hell? Is this even possible?"

Suo Chao found a flattened log and dug small holes without adjusting his steps. Fortunately, it was not a concrete floor, otherwise he would have been in danger.

"Search, search, search, dig, dig, dig"

The people around also gathered together out of curiosity, looking at Suo Chao, watching the scene with a look of excitement on their faces.

"Go and see! The little doctor is playing with mud on the cardboard!"

Yan's Restaurant is very prosperous these days! Yu'er stared at the sky outside the window with an angry look on her face. She was very unhappy when she heard that her brother, the genius doctor, had left without saying goodbye!

"Yeah! That's right, they said that the stinky little brother hasn't left yet? He seems to be playing in the mud at the card head!"

Yu'er hurried out of the room and ran towards the archway on the street.

"Hey, what did they just say?"

Yu'er covered her mouth and laughed as she ran:

"Stinky little brother, wait and see how I deal with you. You dare to leave without saying goodbye!"
