Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 269 Doctor Long Xianlin

In the rainforest, after separating from Mo Yan, Kailin and Zhao Heng took Zixuan and followed Tianlang into the depths without delay.

"Hold on, Xuanxuan, we're almost out of the rainforest, you must be okay!" Karen said.

However, at this time, Zixuan was in a deep coma due to poisoning, and no matter how she called her, there was no response.

Finally, a ray of light was reflected from the front of the forest. As the sunlight got closer, it gave them hope.

After exiting the woods, they saw a village nestled beneath a massive tree. Though curious, Kailin didn't dwell on it. He and Zhao Heng, carrying the poisoned Zixuan, shouted along the street.

"Help! Where can we find a doctor? Langzhong will do. Our friend is dying!" she cried.

However, passers-by did not come forward to pay attention, but just stood there and watched, and some even muttered from time to time.

"These people are dressed very strangely. Are they from outside?"

"I think so, but it seems like we haven't had outsiders come here for a long time?"

"Look, it looks like the people on them have been stung by something. It's a serious situation."

"So what? You can't even take care of yourself, and you still want to meddle in other people's business?"

People were talking among themselves, as if they were worried and afraid of something. Even when Tianlang approached them to ask, they ignored him.

As more and more people watched but did not come to help, Kailin suddenly felt isolated and helpless. From the bottom of her heart, if it were not for Zixuan's condition, she really wanted to put a gun to their heads and ask them: Why don't you want to save us?

They continued forward with Zixuan, and at that moment, a middle-aged man in scholar's clothes walked out of the crowd. He had red hair that didn't fit in with the surroundings, wore glasses, and had a cloth bag hanging from his body.

He came in front of Kailin and the others, first looked at Zixuan's face, then touched her forehead: "Fever, dehydration, anaphylactic shock, this is a typical poisoning reaction."

After saying this, he first motioned for a few people to help Zixuan sit aside. Then, he began to check her wound.

He gently pulled up Zixuan's arm and saw a scratch on the back of her hand, but because the poison had penetrated deep into her body, purple spots had appeared.

"Is this... a scratch?"

At this moment, Kailin immediately nodded and responded, "We were attacked by a swarm of wasps, and Xuanxuan was accidentally scratched by the stinger of the queen wasp while escaping."

"King Wasp? No wonder it's like this."

He looked at the wound carefully. It showed signs of being cleaned, and there was a rope tied at the bottom, clearly an emergency treatment. Fortunately, the response was timely, otherwise if it had been a little later...

The man thought so, then opened his bag, treated the wound again, took out some crushed medicine and applied it on the wound.

"That should be enough." He wiped the sweat off his face gently, but still did not dare to slack off.

At this time, he looked at Kailin and the others and said, "I am a doctor. I have applied antidote herbs to your companions, but the poison has already penetrated into their bones. This alone is far from enough to help them survive the critical period. How about this, my home is nearby, if you don't mind..."

Seeing this, Kailin immediately pleaded, "Of course, as long as it can save Xuanxuan!"

"Well, then please follow me." After saying that, the man turned around and led a few people towards his residence.

On the way, he kept reminding Karin and others to be careful, and those residents who had been watching from the sidelines had slowly followed without everyone noticing.

Soon, the man led everyone to a vine tree. The door wasn't exactly shabby, but it blended seamlessly into the surroundings, looking just like an ordinary tree hole.

After opening the door, what comes into view is a medical room, but unlike reality, except for the bed and some necessary tools, most of it is naturally formed by tree roots.

The man asked a few people to put Zixuan on the bed, then he went to the table and took out a few packets of medicine powder that had been prepared long ago, then dissolved it with warm water and came to Zixuan.

"Help me, her current condition requires both internal and external application to detoxify her."

Kailin nodded, and then she and Zhao Heng slowly helped Zixuan up.

The man held the medicine bowl and approached Zixuan, placing the bowl close to her lips. Every step he took was very careful.

Seeing this, Zhao Heng cooperated and carefully opened Zixuan's mouth. The man slowly poured the medicine into Zixuan's mouth. Zixuan swallowed with difficulty, the medicine flowed down her throat, and her brows were always furrowed.

Soon the medicine was gone, and several people carefully put Zixuan back on the bed. At this time, her poisoning symptoms had obviously eased.

Seeing this, Kailin immediately showed a look of joy and said, "Look, Xuanxuan's condition seems to be starting to improve."

"Not so fast," the man said. "Your companion was severely poisoned. Fortunately, the wasp queen's stinger only scratched her skin, and you responded in time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived until now."

"No way, is it that serious?" Karen said in horror with her eyes wide open.

"So now, can Zixuan wake up?" Zhao Heng asked.

The man shook his head. "It's hard to say. It depends on the individual's constitution. Everyone's constitution is different, and the poisoning can be mild or severe. Even the prescription I prepared for this purpose was carefully formulated. Now I can only watch from the sidelines, but don't worry, after a period of quiet rest, your companion should be able to recover."

"Really? Then we can rest assured." Kailin said with a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet." Zhao Heng asked.

"My name is Long Xianlin. I just told you my identity. I'm a pharmacist in this area," said the man.

Zhao Heng nodded: "Yes, thank you for what I said just now."

At this time, Kailin's eyes were still focused on Zixuan. Although Doctor Long said that she was fine, she couldn't help but worry when she thought of Mo Yan's condition.

"Heh, I wonder how Mo Yan is doing now. Hmm?"

Suddenly the noisy sound caught her attention again.

She subconsciously looked towards the door and realized that the passersby who had come in were all outside watching. However, their faces were solemn, as if they were wary of her.

"Why are all these people following us?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Maybe they are trying to warn you. It's no wonder. After all, in a dangerous place like the rainforest, it is almost impossible for people to let outsiders set foot here." Long Xianlin said.

"What do you mean?" Tianlang asked.

After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Long said, "You may not know this, but in the past 200 years, after the rainforest was completely transformed into desert, everything here became barren. People lost the rainforest they relied on for survival, and their lives became devastated. Without food, some people starved to death."
