The Little Lucky Girl.
Chapter 223 A rare guest arrived on the third day of the Lunar New Year
Just when everyone was busy, the housekeeper came running over, with a hint of urgency and respect on his face, and announced loudly: "Miss, your three brothers are here!"
"Ah, my senior brother is here?" Su Qing exclaimed in surprise, his previously calm eyes instantly lighting up. He put down the ingredients he was preparing for lunch and stood up slightly. "Uncle Li, please welcome him in!" His words were filled with joy and anticipation, as if he was thinking back to the happy times he had spent with his senior brothers in the past.
Senior Brother Mo Yunxiao stood tall and majestic, like a verdant pine or cypress. His dark robe swayed gently in the breeze, accentuating his imposing presence. His face was chiseled, with distinct features. His sword-like brows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were deep and intense, as if harbouring boundless wisdom and majesty. His nose was as sharp as a peak, and his lips were slightly pursed. He exuded a cool, imposing aura, his every move revealing the composure and dignity of the owner of Jishantang.
Second Senior Brother Dongfang Chenyi had a complexion as fair as jade, clad in a moon-white robe that flowed like an immortal, a light blue ribbon tied around his waist. As he moved in the breeze, he exuded a sense of unrestrained elegance. He had delicate features, eyes as gentle and shimmering as stars. His smile was like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, spreading layers of warmth. His dark hair was neatly tied back, secured with a jade hairpin. He exuded the elegance and wisdom of the Master of Medicine King Valley.
Third Senior Brother Ouyang Hexuan was a sturdy figure, his tight-fitting crimson garb emphasizing his agility and competence. His thick eyebrows and large eyes, a sharp and fiery gaze, like a firefly flickering in the night sky, exuded a keen intelligence. Beneath his high nose bridge lay a mouth perpetually beaming with a brilliant smile, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth that seemed to dispel any gloom. His hair, casually tied in a high ponytail, swung freely with his movements, radiating a sense of energy and uninhibited spirit.
The three of them stepped into the courtyard, and Su Qing hurried to greet them. Senior Brother Mo Yunxiao spoke first, his voice deep and mellow: "Junior Sister, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well." His eyes were full of concern and relief.
Second Senior Brother Dongfang Chenyi then said gently: "Junior Sister, I brought some rare medicinal herbs that were newly acquired from Medicine King Valley with me this time. They will definitely be of great use to you." As he spoke, he signaled the disciples behind him to present the medicinal herbs.
Third Senior Brother Ouyang Hexuan grabbed Su Qing's arm and said with a grin, "Junior Sister, you missed us so much. There have been a lot of interesting patients coming to the Divine Doctor Valley recently. I have a lot of stories to tell you."
Everyone chatted happily and entered the house together. Su Qing hurriedly ordered tea to be served, and the room was immediately filled with the aroma of tea. After Senior Brother Mo Yunxiao sat down, his expression grew slightly more serious. "Junior Sister, a strange disease has recently appeared in the martial arts world. The patient suffers from disordered pulses, general weakness, and no medicine can cure it. My Jishan Hall has taken on several such patients, but we have no clue what to do. I came here this time to discuss it with you."
Su Qing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This disease sounds quite difficult. I need to check the detailed medical records of several patients before making a decision."
Second Senior Brother Dongfang Chenyi nodded in agreement: "Junior Sister, what you said is absolutely right. Medicine King Valley is also doing its best to find the cause of the disease. I have brought the relevant information with me, and Junior Sister can study it carefully later."
The third senior brother Ouyang Hexuan was rubbing his hands together, "What are you afraid of? With us here, we can definitely find a solution. If this strange disease dares to act arrogantly in front of us, we will expose its true colors." Everyone was amused by his bold words, but his eyes showed firmness and determination. It seemed that a battle with the strange disease had begun.
At that moment, Doctor Yue, hearing the commotion in the pharmacy, left and entered the room where the noises were coming from. Doctor Chen and Doctor Lu followed closely behind. As soon as the three of them entered, Doctor Yue frowned and raised his voice, saying, "You three unfilial disciples, do you still have eyes for me, your master?" His expression seemed angry, but in reality, it revealed a hint of intimacy and anger, a long-awaited reunion.
"Oh, Master, Uncle-master, and Uncle-master are all here!" The third disciple Ouyang Hexuan reacted quickly and hurried forward with a smile on his face. He first bowed to Doctor Yue, then turned around and greeted Doctor Chen and Doctor Lu. His movements were playful yet respectful, and he tried to use this warmth to dissolve his master's "resentment".
Divine Doctor Yue snorted lightly, but didn't continue his scolding. Doctor Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "You kid, it's been a long time since we last met, and you're still so clever and eccentric." Doctor Lu, on the other hand, looked at everyone in the room and said, "It's quite lively today."
"Hello, Master, Uncle, and Grandfather!" The three disciples greeted them one by one!
"Mmmmmmm!"
"Master, my fellow apprentices and I are discussing a strange disease that has recently appeared in the martial arts world!" The eldest disciple, Mo Yunxiao, bowed slightly and spoke solemnly. His voice was deep and rich, echoing throughout the room and drawing everyone's attention.
"Yes, yes, Master!" the four disciples said in unison. Su Qing and the other two brothers looked at Divine Doctor Yue firmly, their eyes full of respect for their Master and hope for a solution to this problem.
"Oh? What strange disease?" Doctor Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression, which was originally slightly reproachful, instantly turned into focus and concern. He took a small step forward, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, but he unconsciously clenched his fists slightly.
"The patient has disordered pulses, general weakness, and no medicine can cure him. My Jishan Hall has taken over several such patients, but we have no idea what to do. I came here this time to discuss it with you and Junior Sister." Mo Yunxiao frowned and described the patient's condition in detail, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness. Jishan Hall is quite famous in the world, but now it is helpless in the face of this strange disease, which makes him feel a great sense of responsibility.
"Oh! Then we'll go to Jishan Hall!" Doctor Yue replied without hesitation, his eyes sharpening instantly, like a general about to go to the battlefield, already mentally planning a response. His years of medical experience had taught him that this strange illness was no ordinary one; the root cause must be discovered quickly, otherwise the martial arts world would be plunged into a huge crisis.
"Yes, Master, I'll trouble you then!" Mo Yunxiao bowed respectfully, feeling a little relieved. With Master's help, perhaps there was a glimmer of hope for a solution to this strange disease.
After a brief preparation, everyone headed to Jishan Hall. Along the way, everyone remained silent, each pondering various possibilities regarding the mysterious illness. Inside Jishan Hall, the patients lay on their beds, their faces haggard and their breaths nearly gone. Doctor Yue felt the pulses of each patient one by one, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He shook his head, pondered for a long time before slowly rising and saying, "This illness is extremely peculiar and by no means has a single cause. I need to carefully discuss the prescription with you, and search for similar cases in ancient texts. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough." The apprentices nodded in agreement, each assigning their own tasks: some to browse medical books, others to organize medicinal materials, all working to conquer this mysterious illness with all their might. Su Qing assisted Doctor Yue and said softly, "Master, I think this strange disease may be related to the recent climate changes, or there may be some new poison at work in secret." Doctor Yue nodded slightly and looked at her approvingly, "Qing'er is right, we need to investigate further." In the Jishan Hall, a tough battle against the strange disease officially began. No one knew what difficulties, dangers and medical mysteries were waiting for them ahead.
Divine Doctor Yue paced back and forth in Jishan Hall. Suddenly, he stopped and said to his disciples, "Yunxiao, you should review the detailed records of these patients' whereabouts before they became ill and see if you can find any commonalities. Chenyi, you should take some people to explore the surrounding mountains, forests, and water sources. Perhaps the cause of the illness is hidden there. Hexuan, you should help me remix some commonly used prescriptions in the hall and try different combinations to see if they can alleviate the symptoms."
The disciples took their orders and left. Mo Yunxiao quickly gathered the staff of Jishantang and carefully questioned each patient, not missing a single detail, recording every detail in his records. Dongfang Chenyi, accompanied by several disciples skilled in light martial arts and outdoor exploration, headed for the mountains and water sources, carefully examining any unusual plants, poisons, or changes in water quality. Ouyang Hexuan busily moved between the medicine cabinets in the hall, meticulously preparing prescriptions according to his master's instructions, beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead.
After a while, everyone returned. Mo Yunxiao was the first to report, "Master, these patients come from different places. Some are passing merchants, some are local residents, but most of them had stopped at a market on the outskirts of the city before falling ill." Dongfang Chenyi continued, "Master, we didn't find any obvious abnormalities in the mountains and forests, but we did find some aquatic plants with a faint odor in the water source near the market. We've brought back samples." As he spoke, he presented the aquatic plants.
Divine Doctor Yue took the waterweed, examined it carefully, and sniffed it. His brow furrowed even further. "This waterweed may seem ordinary, but it may hold the key. Hexuan, crush it and mix it with the several medicinal prescriptions we prepared earlier. Make a medicinal decoction and feed it to a few patients with milder symptoms. Observe the effects."
Ouyang Hexuan immediately did as he was told. Everyone waited nervously. After a while, a patient slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "I... I feel like I've regained some strength." Everyone's faces were filled with surprise. Doctor Yue remained calm, "This is only the initial effect. We need to further adjust the prescription to completely eradicate the root cause. This aquatic plant may have been eroded and mutated by some evil toxin, causing this strange disease to spread. We must quickly find a way to neutralize the toxin. In the meantime, Chen Yi, tell the people nearby to stay away from that water source for the time being to prevent more people from contracting the disease."
Dongfang Chenyi nodded and left. Doctor Yue turned to Mo Yunxiao and Su Qing and said, "The two of you will follow me back to the study. We need to consult more medical texts to see if there are any similar case histories. We must develop a perfect antidote as soon as possible to prevent this poison from causing further trouble in the martial arts world." With that, the three of them hurried to the study, leaving Ouyang Hexuan alone in the hall to continue tending to the patient. The decisive battle against the strange disease had entered a more critical moment.
