The Great Doctor Girl

In the long and brutal confrontation, our strength is almost exhausted. Every resistance is like a tug-of-war with fate. If we relax a little, we will be doomed.

But even so, we still gritted our teeth, and with our tenacious will and mutual trust, we finally succeeded in curbing the opponent's offensive.

However, before we could catch our breath, new crises came like a surging tide.

The ground within the tea space suddenly shook violently, as if the earth were being shaken by an invisible giant hand, roaring angrily. Cracks crept wildly from the ground, like a ferocious beast with its bloody maw gaping, ready to devour everything. Instantly, a black mist surged from the cracks, filled with a sickening, rancid stench, as if emanating from the depths of hell, instantly enveloping us.

"This is... the power of darkness!" Qingyao's face turned pale in an instant, and she screamed in horror.

It turns out that before being sealed, Huang Junhao had insanely initiated a dark ritual in an attempt to awaken the dark power sleeping underground in order to completely destroy us.

The dark force surged like a raging black tide, rapidly decaying and crumbling wherever it passed. The exquisite murals on the walls instantly peeled away, crumbling into fragments; the tables and chairs instantly turned to ash. The entire space seemed cursed by darkness, edging closer and closer to destruction.

"We cannot let the dark forces succeed. We must stop them!" I roared, my voice filled with determination and resolve, a dedication to protecting this land. Then, I once again mobilized all my strength. The fiery power of the blood-red lotus surged through my meridians, the mysterious power of the Yijing flowed through my body, and the power of the Four Symbols Soul-Calming Needles gathered at my fingertips, attempting to counter this demonic force of darkness. Qingyao and Bixuan joined the battle without hesitation. Qingyao's hands danced rapidly on the Fuxi Qin, the sound sharp and piercing, like flashes of lightning, instantly tearing through the thick, inky darkness. Bixuan was enveloped in the light of the Black Tortoise Armor. The solid armor, like an indestructible mountain, steadily withstood the dark forces' wave after wave of frenzied attacks.

In this fierce, almost hopeless battle, we gradually discovered that the core of the dark power was a massive black crystal. This crystal exuded a terrifying, intense dark aura, as if it were the endless source of darkness, constantly devouring all life around it. We knew that only by destroying this crystal could we completely sever the root of the dark power and prevent its rampant spread.

"I'll destroy it!" Without a moment's hesitation, my eyes gleaming with fearlessness, I charged towards the Dark Crystal with all my might. However, the Dark Crystal was surrounded by a terrifyingly powerful dark force. Every step forward felt like sinking into an endless quagmire, bearing immense pressure, as if countless invisible hands were desperately pulling me back. Just as I neared the Dark Crystal, a dark force powerful enough to crush me roared towards me like a ferocious ancient beast, instantly sending me flying. I fell heavily to the ground, my internal organs seemingly dislocated, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.

"Mom!" Jing Suo and Yining cried out simultaneously, their tender voices filled with worry and fear, piercing my heart like sharp arrows. Yining's eyes gleamed with a golden light as she struggled to crawl toward me, her tiny body struggling desperately within the swaddling clothes. Her determination was both heartbreaking and moving. Jing Suo's face flushed red from crying, her tiny hands frantically clawing at the air, as if trying to grasp the dark force that had hurt me and avenge me.

Looking at the children, a warm current surged in my heart. It was the warmth and strength from family love, which made me cheer up again in this desperate battle. I gritted my teeth, struggled to stand up, took a deep breath, and prepared to launch another attack.

At this moment, the golden halo on Yining's body suddenly became brighter, and the light shot towards the dark crystal like a laser, actually tearing a hole in the solid barrier of dark power.

Jing Suo seemed to be inspired, and he let out a loud cry. This cry seemed to carry some mysterious and ancient power, causing the dark forces to temporarily stagnate. The dark forces seemed to be shocked by this sudden change, and their offensive weakened slightly.

"Now!" I shouted, seizing the moment the dark power showed a flaw and concentrating all my strength in my hands. My body felt like a wellspring of power, every cell ablaze, gathering strength for this final battle. Then, I fiercely smashed down on the dark crystal.

With a deafening roar, a roar that seemed to shatter the entire world, the Dark Crystal was finally destroyed. The dark power instantly dissipated, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye. The tea room gradually returned to calm. The once decayed walls began to regenerate, and the crumbling tables and chairs slowly returned to their original state.

After this thrilling battle, we finally achieved victory. However, we all know that this is only a temporary respite. This was a fatal blow to Huang Junhao, but his power still exists, like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to strike again at any time. More challenges will surely await us in the future.

But we are not afraid, because we have each other, the strength and wisdom left by our mother, and our two children, Jingshuo and Yining, who are full of potential. They are our hope and the driving force that keeps us moving forward.

In the days that followed, we began to rebuild the tea space. This was my mother's hard work, and it was my mission to pass it on. Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked together.

I was responsible for repairing the damaged ancient books of Qimen medicine, Qingyao used her power to repair the architectural structure of the tea space, and Bixuan searched everywhere for precious medicinal materials and mysterious props to prepare for possible crises in the future.

At the same time, we are also constantly researching and exploring, hoping to find a way to completely eliminate the poison and dark forces, and relieve the suffering of more people who have been poisoned.

After this battle, Jing Suo and Yining's mysterious powers seem to gradually awaken. Every subtle change in them fills us with anticipation. We look forward to their growth and believe that in the days ahead, they will become our strongest support, fighting alongside us to protect this land we love so deeply.

I dragged my exhausted body back home. As soon as I pushed the sandalwood door open a crack, the familiar scent of ambergris hit me. I saw Huang Junze pacing anxiously in the living room. Hearing the noise, he turned his head sharply, his eyes instantly fixed on me.

He walked towards me quickly, his steps so hurried they almost stirred a gust of wind. His black shirt was wrinkled, a few buttons undone, and his usually impeccably groomed hair was now a little disheveled, as if he'd scratched it countless times.

"You're finally back!" He hugged me in his arms, his voice trembling unconsciously, "Do you know how worried I am? Why don't you let me participate in the birth of our two children? It was so dangerous this time, you've been out for so long, and there's no news at all, I..." He paused here, and his arms tightened subconsciously, as if he was afraid that I would disappear in the next second.

I leaned into his embrace, feeling his pounding heartbeat. I wanted to offer some comfort, but he beat me to it. "Look at you, covered in wounds. What happened?" He gently cupped my face, carefully examining the scrapes. His eyes were filled with distress, his brows knitted tightly into a "chuan" shape. His fingers gently caressed my wounds, his movements so gentle that it felt as if even the slightest pressure would hurt.

I was overwhelmed with guilt and emotion. I opened my mouth, wanting to explain, but I didn't know where to begin. I caressed his violently heaving chest, feeling his warmth. As his trembling lips pressed against my bloodstained temple, Bixuan's sigh drifted through the window: "The Black Tortoise Armor sensed that Junze has been guarding outside the courtyard for three days..."

"Honey, I'm sorry, I was afraid..." Before I could finish my words, his lips were on mine, and a warm current flowed through my body. Huang Junze bent down and held me in his arms until we rolled onto our big bed...

As the last drops of the midnight water clock dried up, I opened my eyes deep in my bed. A silk handkerchief with a star map, snatched by Jing Suo, lay on my pillow. Yining's curled hands clutched a half-broken peach wood talisman. The Jiuxiao Huanpei zither, left behind by Qingyao, sat on the desk, playing its own tune of peace and tranquility. The morning dew condensed on the strings reflected a rainbow of colors.

"Mother…"

"Mother…"

Jing Shuo and Yining kept shouting with bubbles in their mouths like little fish.

I picked them up and kissed them, and I really didn't want to put them down.

"Babies, do you miss your mother?"

"You're so strong, little bastard!"

"Little Princess Yining, you are beautiful again"...

In the bronze mirror, the half-moon mark of the poison on my collarbone faded to a mere ink mark. I put on my clothes and opened the window. Outside, the sun was warm and the breeze was gentle. The house was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.

I picked up my phone and saw that two days had passed. Did I sleep for two days?

My husband came out of the study and looked at me. "Since you were sleeping so well, I didn't wake you up. I wanted you to get enough sleep."

"Thank you, husband. I feel like I'm rebuilt." I raised my hands above my head and stretched.

"Honey, why didn't you go to work?" I asked him as I walked towards the restaurant.

"I'm working from home with you, come and have dinner."

"Okay, I'm going to the clinic after dinner." I was afraid that he would have an opinion, so I deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice to him.

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

I didn't expect that he didn't stop it. Mr. Huang is really getting more and more savvy.

I saw Xin Xin leading the medicine boy to set up the Bagua formation in the medicine drying area in the courtyard of the medical clinic to dry the cassia seeds.

Xia Ruoxi walked out of the corridor holding the account book, and the mugwort pinned in her hair suddenly rustled.

As soon as I stepped into the medical hall, a familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere hit me. "Xia Ruoxi, Xin Xin!" I called out with a smile.
