A Shocking Dream

Qin Rongchen nodded slightly, then turned and left. His heart was still filled with doubts. Who was this mysterious woman? Why did she feel so familiar to him? What was her relationship with the former Wu Nian Mechanic Master? These questions kept swirling in his mind, and he couldn't let go.

Qin Ruoyu watched his uncle leave with a worried look on his face. He knew he had to find a solution as soon as possible, so he decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Lin Wunian, asking her to be more cautious and not reveal any flaws.

"Kankan, remember not to mention our identities to anyone. If someone asks you, just say I am your sister. We are relatives of the Liu family in the east of Beijing City and are from Linjiang." Lin Wunian seriously reminded Kankan as soon as he entered the centralized isolation area.

There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes, and her white hair stood out against the dim light. Lin Wunian frowned slightly, knowing full well that their current situation was fraught with uncertainty, and that they could be in danger if they weren't careful.

Kanan nodded obediently, a hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes. "I understand, sister." Her voice was crisp and childish, yet it also revealed a hint of determination.

Lin Wunian looked at Qianqian, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. In this strange world, they relied on each other and supported each other. "We must be careful. We can't let anyone discover our true identities."

A tense atmosphere permeated the quarantine area, and people's faces were filled with fatigue and worry. Lin Wunian knew that they had to keep a low profile and not attract unnecessary attention.

"Doctor Wu Nian has returned. Could you please describe the source of this epidemic in detail? We are the imperial physicians sent by His Majesty to treat the people of Linzhou." The imperial physician, standing outside the quarantine area, saw Wu Nian and spoke eagerly. His eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety. After all, this epidemic had plunged countless people into suffering.

Lin Wunian frowned slightly, pondering how to respond. She knew the source of the epidemic remained a mystery, but she couldn't let these doctors lose confidence. She sighed softly and said, "My dear doctors, the source of this epidemic is still unclear. But I have been diligently searching for clues, hoping to find a solution soon."

Lin Wunian's gaze swept across the faces of each imperial physician, seeing the worry and fatigue in their eyes. She knew they, too, were making tremendous efforts to combat the epidemic. She continued, "All we can do now is to do our best to treat every patient and control the spread of the disease. At the same time, we also need to strengthen research on the disease and find effective treatments."

The imperial physicians nodded in agreement, knowing full well that Lin Wunian's words made sense. One of them asked, "Doctor Wunian, do you have any specific treatment plan?"

Lin Wunian pondered for a moment and said, "Currently, we're primarily using herbal treatment and isolation measures. For patients with mild symptoms, we're giving them herbs that clear heat and detoxify to help them recover. For those with more severe symptoms, we're implementing more rigorous isolation and treatment. Since it's inconvenient for you to come in, let's discuss this at a nearby clinic later. I need to wash up before I can see you." Lin Wunian was also considering another treatment option. Her eyes revealed determination and resolve. Despite the weariness evident on her face, her sense of responsibility for treating the epidemic patients remained undiminished.

Lin Wunian leaned slightly to the side, looking at the suffering patients in the isolation area, a wave of pity welling up in her heart. She knew that time was running out, and every minute and every second could mean the difference between life and death. She had to work with these imperial physicians to come up with a better treatment plan as soon as possible, to bring hope to these innocent people.

The imperial physicians nodded in understanding. They looked at Lin Wunian with admiration. Although this woman looked frail, she possessed a strong heart and superb medical skills. They believed that under her leadership, they would be able to find a way to defeat the epidemic.

Lin Wunian turned and walked into the isolation area. Her figure seemed particularly tall in the sunlight. She knew that the road ahead was still long, but she would not give up.

In the evening, everyone arrived at a nearby clinic. The clinic was located on a quiet street. The wooden door looked a bit old, yet it exuded a sense of simplicity. The four characters "Ji Shi Medical Clinic" on the door plaque were vigorous and powerful, as if telling of the clinic's long history.

Upon opening the door, a faint herbal aroma wafted into the air. The lobby was spacious and bright, furnished with several wooden tables and chairs for patients to wait and rest. The walls were covered with various herbal illustrations and famous medical quotations, adding a touch of academic flair.

On one side of the lobby stood a neat row of medicine cabinets, crafted from dark wood and intricately carved. Each drawer was labeled with the name of the herb, making it easy for the physicians and herbalists to retrieve the medicine. Several herbalists bustled around in front of the cabinets, fetching herbs as directed by the physicians.

On the other side of the lobby are several consulting rooms, their door curtains draped in light blue, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Simple tables, chairs, and beds are placed inside, and medical instruments like silver needles and cupping jars hang on the walls.

The clinic's backyard is a small garden planted with a variety of herbs and flowers. A stone path winds through it, and the flowers and plants on either side sway gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance. In the corner of the garden lies an ancient well, its water clear and sweet, used for decocting herbs and washing utensils.

In this quiet clinic, Lin Wunian and the imperial physicians will continue to discuss plans to treat the epidemic and work hard for the health of the people of Linzhou.

Qin Rongchen and Qin Ruoyu, knowing they were going to discuss this, also came along. Qin Rongchen's expression was stern, a hint of inquiry in his eyes; he was always curious about the mysterious Doctor Wunian. Qin Ruoyu frowned slightly, worried about the development of the epidemic and whether Lin Wunian's identity would be discovered.

Zeng Mu hadn't wanted to come, but since the Crown Prince was already here, he had no choice but to come. He followed reluctantly, muttering to himself about the troubles this epidemic had caused. The three of them walked into the clinic together, only to find that some of the imperial physicians were already waiting for Lin Wunian. The clinic was filled with a faint herbal aroma, which calmed people down a bit.

Qin Rongchen glanced at the imperial physicians and nodded slightly. Qin Ruoyu then stepped forward to speak with them, inquiring about the current situation. Zeng Mu stood aside, looking somewhat uneasy. He had no idea what the outcome of this discussion would be, nor what role he would play in it.

In this tense atmosphere, everyone was waiting for Lin Wunian's arrival. They were filled with anticipation, hoping to find a better way to treat the disease from this discussion.
