On a cold winter day, the cold wind swept away all the surrounding vegetation.

Rong Su squatted on the ground, concentrating on giving acupuncture to the patient. His forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't feel cold at all, but cold sweat appeared on his palms.

Only after the last needle was inserted into the patient's acupuncture point did the patient finally wake up completely.

When she saw the patient wake up, she stretched out her hand and signaled the servant to give her the liquor. However, the servant was surprised that she had saved the patient and stayed where he was.

Rong Su went over and took the liquor, and the servant came to his senses and hurriedly put the hot water aside.

She took the soju and took a sip herself. She felt her body warm up a little and exhaled a sigh of relief.

At this time, the patient was able to speak, but his throat was hoarse and unpleasant due to excessive coughing.

"Are you a doctor?"

When Rong Su heard him ask this, she nodded, put down the wine, reached out and pulled out the needles one by one, and washed them one by one in hot water.

"Although your consciousness has been restored after the acupuncture, your symptoms have not been eliminated. You will need to take medicine for a few days before you can gradually recover."

When the patient heard that there seemed to be a chance of his recovery, he looked at her in disbelief, with an expression of excitement and half-belief and half-doubt on his face.

Seeing his concerns and disbelief, Rong Su said calmly, "You don't have any other choice now. Why don't you listen to me and give it a try? If it works, then everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, then it won't be any worse than it is now. You're already halfway to hell."

Her words were actually a fact. There was nothing worse than death. After hearing this, the patient sighed and said, "I'll listen to you, doctor."

Seeing that he was willing to listen to her, she took out a prescription from her sleeve, which was the prescription that she and Gu Yun had improved, and handed it to him.

"You must take this prescription for three days. After three days, you can come to find me in the small wooden house on the west side of the east alley. My name is Rong Su."

After the patient took the prescription, his eyes were still a little confused, but he also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Rong. My name is Li Duoshou."

She nodded to show that she knew his name.

Li Duoshou saw Yan Liang standing aside, bowed to him, and then slowly left the place.

Yan Liang saw all this, and the way he looked at Rong Su changed, from being disrespectful at the beginning to being respectful now.

He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Rong Su: "Doctor Rong, I am sorry for being rude. I actually neglected you."

Rong Su didn't care much for such empty formalities and waved her hand. "I originally sought out City Lord Yan to help the people of the city escape their suffering. Now, after what happened, I think City Lord Yan should believe that I have a way to cure lung disease, right?"

The contempt he had shown towards Rong Su before now lingered in Yan Liang's mind, and he felt really embarrassed and ashamed. He smiled sheepishly.

"I believe it, I believe it. Previously, I also invited many doctors to treat the people who were infected with the disease. Those doctors were either infected themselves or could only say that the disease was difficult to cure. But Doctor Rong can make a patient who has fallen to the ground wake up in a moment and be able to walk normally again."

"On this point, I also believe you, Doctor Rong!"

He mentioned that it is difficult to cure the disease with medicine. Rong Su herself felt a little ashamed of her own self-harm. She had said the same thing when she was treating the calf.

If it weren't for Gu Yun's perseverance, she wouldn't be able to bring the prescription to help the people in the mining town today.

"The discovery of a cure for lung disease isn't entirely my credit. It also goes to Dr. Gu Yungu. It's his tireless work and refusal to give up that has led to the current method."

Rong Su didn't want to take all the credit on herself. If it was her credit, she would acknowledge it. If it wasn't her credit, she wouldn't acknowledge it, otherwise she would get into trouble.

"Oh? Doctor Gu. If I'm lucky, I hope to have the opportunity to meet this Doctor Gu." Yan Liang began to have a little interest in Gu Yun.

"Yes, then City Lord Yan, can you hire me to treat the people in the mining city now?" Rong Su was still concerned about the treatment of lung disease, and asked Yan Liang.

Yan Liang smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course you can. I have seen that Doctor Rong is a very skilled doctor, so I will definitely agree."

Seeing that he agreed, Rong Su had some ideas in mind and expressed her thoughts first.

"Then please, City Lord Yan, send people from house to house in the city to gather all the people who have been infected with lung disease, or those who have symptoms such as coughing and high fever. This will make it easier for me to prescribe the right medicine and treat them."

He felt that this matter was not difficult to handle, so he nodded and replied, "Okay. This matter is not difficult."

"Then, we'll post notices telling the people in the city to prepare some liquor and sprinkle it around their homes from time to time."

After hearing this, Yan Liang was a little confused: "Why do you want to pour wine?"

Rong Su patiently replied, "The alcohol content is high, so it can eliminate viruses. So it can help prevent some infections."

"So that's how it is. Don't worry, I will have someone take care of this matter." After Yan Liang understood, he agreed readily.

Thinking of something, Rong Su added, "City Lord Yan wants to see Doctor Gu, so can I bring a few people to help me? After all, I can't take care of all the patients by myself, and I don't know how many patients there are."

After hearing this, Yan Liang understood Rong Su's meaning, smiled softly and agreed readily.

"That's great. My guards are all ignorant of medicine, and I'm afraid I can't help Doctor Rong. If someone wants to come, that would be great. Will Doctor Gu come by then?"

Rong Su saw that Yan Liang seemed to be a kind and benevolent person, and would not care about anything. She smiled and said, "I will come. Then I will go back and prepare. I will bring people here at noon tomorrow."

Seeing Rong Su was about to leave, Yan Liang didn't want to keep her any longer. He also had important matters to attend to, and the things Rong Su requested also needed to be arranged one by one, so he clasped his fists towards Rong Su.

"Okay. After I arrange for the patients in the city, I will send someone to find Doctor Rong and let you know the location."

Rong Su nodded, then put away the silver needle and turned to leave.

After watching Rong Su leave, Yan Liang narrowed his eyes and muttered softly: "They really look a bit like each other."

The attendant beside him heard Yan Liang's words and was a little confused: "City Lord, what do they look alike?"

"It's okay. You also heard what Doctor Rong said. Quickly send people to go door to door in the city to gather the patients, and then take them to Huimenxuan. It just so happens that the inn has been abandoned." Yan Liang whispered.

The attendant responded, then whispered, "City Lord, I don't think I've ever heard of Doctor Rong. Didn't we seal off the city quite a while ago? How come a Doctor Rong suddenly appears in the city?"

After being reminded by his attendant, Yan Liang also realized that something was wrong. He touched his chin with his hand and pondered for a moment.

"And have someone check the register of people entering the city."

The attendant lowered his head and said, "Yes."

The mining city borders Dongzhou and Zhongzhou. The winter weather is similar to that of Dongzhou, with occasional heavy snowfall.

Summer will be like that of Nakasu, with scorching heat and occasional rain.

It is now the end of October, and at night, a thin layer of frost crystals occasionally begins to form on the vegetation.

Rong Su, wearing a cloak, got off the carriage lightly and went to the kitchen of the cabin.

He walked to the stove, rummaged around, and found some herbs in the basket.

Take out the herbs you need one by one, clean a medicine jar, and put them into the wooden basin one by one according to the required proportions and wash them clean.

She went to light the fire again, and seeing that it was already started, she stood up, picked up the medicine pot and placed it on the stove, then put the washed herbs in one by one.

After covering the lid, she would sit aside and stare at the fire. If the fire was too small, she would fan it with a palm-leaf fan to increase the firepower.

When the medicine in the bottle starts to boil and feels like it is about to overflow, she will extinguish the flame and open the lid to take a look.

When you see that there is less water in the medicine pot, add more water, then continue to light the fire and continue to cook.

She repeated this process until eight bowls of water were boiled into one bowl, and then she put out all the fires.

When she was about to pour the medicine, she heard Shen Peiqing's voice.

"It's the middle of the night, and you're not resting. Are you just feeding mosquitoes here?"

This guy never said a nice thing, she was used to it, so she didn't intend to waste words with him.

Shen Peiqing felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that she ignored him, but he just felt that she was ungrateful. In the past, countless wealthy ladies rushed to talk to him.

Although he was sad, he was still very curious why she didn't rest so late at night.

When I got closer, I saw her cooking some medicine. Something occurred to me and I became nervous. "What's wrong with you? Why are you cooking some medicine?"

She didn't notice Shen Peiqing's nervousness and thought he was just picking on her out of boredom at night. She glanced at him and said, "I know you hate me, but I didn't expect you to want me to feel uncomfortable so much?"

He clearly cared about her, but she thought this of him. Shen Peiqing was immediately filled with resentment and anger, and sneered: "That's right, you always tease me and torture me. Of course I hope so, but you are like a tumbler that can't be pushed down, how can you be so strong?"

Strong? Rong Su looked at him with an expression she didn't know what to make. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was praising her or mocking her.

After pouring the medicine soup, Rong Su put down the medicine pot, lowered his head to smell it, felt that the smell of the medicine was suitable, and turned around to look for something.

Shen Peiqing stood aside and saw her looking for something. He looked at the bowl of black medicinal soup again. His eyes turned and he saw a soup spoon. He grasped it with his slender fingers, picked it up and handed it to her.

Just as she was about to look for a spoon, Rong Su saw a soup spoon being handed to her. She looked up and saw that it was Shen Peiqing who handed it to her. She took it and said, "Thank you."

Then, she took a spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The concentration was just right, so she made a mental note of the heat and time required to boil the medicine.

Shen Peiqing watched her do all this and became more and more confused about why she did this.

"This bowl of medicine is a prescription for lung disease. Why are you cooking it? Is there something wrong with the prescription?"

Rong Su was a meticulous person when it came to prescriptions. She shook her head and said, "It's not the prescription that's wrong. I went to see City Lord Yan today, and he agreed to let me try to treat the people in Mining City who have contracted lung disease. I'm just trying to make sure the prescription can deliver the desired effect more accurately. I'm just researching its efficacy."

After hearing what she said, Shen Peiqing's eyes fell on her beautiful profile. She continued to change the medicine pots and light the fire to boil the medicine without blinking. She did not feel tired at all during the whole process and even seemed to enjoy it a little.

That heart that had been beating steadily was now beating a few beats faster. He lowered his eyelids slightly, with a sparkling glint in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he, like her, had his favorite thing to do, which was to study the affairs of the court, and he always thought in his heart that one day he could become a wise king.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Now I am just a wanted criminal, a desperado, and I don’t know when I can do what I want to do again.

Rong Su was cooking the second medicinal soup and fanning the fire. When she turned her head, she found that Shen Peiqing had been standing there doing nothing. She frowned slightly.

Why is this guy still here?

"I'm not resting late at night, so why aren't you resting late at night?"

Rong Su's voice pulled him back from his wandering thoughts. He looked at her. She was sitting by the fire pit. In the reflection of the red and yellow fireworks, her profile was dyed with a layer of bright colors, vivid and lively.

"I can't sleep. I'll just get up and walk around."

Hearing that he didn't intend to say it, Rong Su didn't ask anymore. She had no interest in prying into other people's privacy.

In this way, Shen Peiqing leaned against a wooden pillar on the side, while Rong Su kept boiling the medicinal soup until the herbs were used up.

The two of them lived in peace and were quiet and silent until the sky gradually brightened and the egg yolk-like sunlight slowly rose from the east.

Yulan was the first one to get off the carriage and come to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Shen Peiqing. She was about to say hello, but then she saw Rong Su again. She looked back and forth between them, then lowered her head and walked in.

"I'm here to make breakfast for everyone."

Rong Su could clearly see Yulan's expression. It was obvious that she had misunderstood something, but she didn't intend to explain and just replied with an "OK".

Lately, it seems that everyone’s breakfast is made by Yulan, and occasionally by Daniu.

At first, Gu Yuer was eager to help, but Yulan's cooking skills were even better than those of the chefs in restaurants outside, so she just handed it over to her, and Gu Yuer would occasionally help out.

Rong Su stood up and gave her seat to Yulan. She cleaned up the cooked medicinal soup and put all of it into a large medicine jar to avoid waste. This medicinal soup can be drunk after being re-cooked. Although the efficacy is not as good as that of a freshly cooked one, it is still okay.

Then you can feed it to some livestock and it can also prevent diseases.

When she looked up, Shen Peiqing was no longer in the kitchen.

Rong Su didn't care much about it. Just as she was about to walk out, she saw Gu Yuer running towards her excitedly.

"Sister Rong, Sister Rong, City Lord Yan sent someone to pick us up and take us over to have a look."

Upon hearing this, Rong Su went over to greet him: "Okay, you go and call Shang Guyun and Shen Peiqing. Shitou will stay and look after the calf with Daniu."

Gu Yuer nodded after remembering it, but then she thought of something and looked towards Yulan who was making breakfast in the kitchen. She couldn't help but whispered to her, "Sister Rong, where is Sister Yulan?"

Speaking of Yulan, Rong Su didn't know how to treat her, and she still couldn't fully trust this person.

"She should stay and look after the calf as well." Then she turned to Yulan and said, "Yulan, there's some medicine in that big medicine pot. You can drink some for prevention, and you can give the rest to the big calf and the stone."

I originally wanted to give it to livestock, but after thinking about it, I felt that the livestock couldn't drink it all, so it would be better to let them all drink some as a precaution.

The biggest benefit of this prescription is that it can not only treat lung diseases in the early, middle and late stages, but also has a preventive effect.

Yulan didn't seem to care whether she brought her or not, and nodded in response: "Okay."

Afterwards, Rong Su took Gu Yun, Shen Peiqing and Gu Yuer to Huimenxuan.
