I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 183 Lotus Tower (9)
The autumn wind carried fallen leaves, swirling on the empty official road.
Qiao Wanwan was wearing a light blue dress with a medicine basket hanging around her waist, and she walked side by side with Li Xiangyi.
The sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, casting dappled shadows on them.
**Qiao Wanwan** looked up at the sky and said softly, "Xiangyi, let's stop in the town ahead today."
**Li Xiangyi** nodded, glanced around, and said, "Okay. Sister, look at how beautiful the wild chrysanthemums are blooming by the roadside. I'll pick some and make you some tea tonight."
As he spoke, he flashed to the side of the road and bent down to pick the fruits.
**Qiao Wanwan** Looking at his busy figure, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a warmth surged in her heart.
In the afternoon, they came to a small town called "Qinghe Town".
The town is quite lively with people coming and going.
Li Xiangyi found a clinic and said to the owner, "Shopkeeper, my sister and I are new here and would like to offer free medical treatment for a few days. Could you please lend us your precious space?"
The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties. He looked Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan up and down. Seeing that they were dressed simply but had extraordinary temperaments, he stroked his beard and said, "Practicing medicine to help the world is a good deed. How can I not agree? Please do as you please."
Qiao Wanwan thanked the shopkeeper: "Thank you very much for your help, shopkeeper."
So the two of them set up a stall in front of the clinic.
Qiao Wanwan was responsible for taking the pulse and prescribing medicine, while Li Xiangyi was responsible for picking and decocting the medicine.
Before long, many people came to seek medical treatment.
Qiao Wanwan carefully took the pulse of each patient, asked about their condition, and then prescribed medicine.
With her superb medical skills and kind attitude, she quickly won the trust of the people.
Li Xiangyi was busy on the side. While preparing medicine, he asked people around him about the local customs and habits, as well as the major and minor events that had occurred recently in the martial arts world.
A middle-aged woman came to Qiao Wanwan holding a pale child and said anxiously, "Doctor, please take a look, what's wrong with my child?"
She gestured to the woman to place the child on the makeshift examination table. She reached out to feel the child's pulse, her brows slightly furrowed.
After a while, she said to the woman, "Your child has caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for him. If you give it to him on time, he will be cured in three days."
Upon hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.
Li Xiangyi picked up the medicine, handed it to the woman, and said, "Auntie, this medicine needs to be boiled over a low fire for an hour. Remember not to use high heat."
The woman took the medicine, thanked him again, and left with the child.
An old man, leaning on a cane, tremblingly walked up to Qiao Wanwan and said, "Miss, my legs have been inconvenient for many years. I wonder if you can treat it?"
Qiao Wanwan carefully examined the old man's legs and said, "Old man, you have been suffering from rheumatism for many years. I will give you acupuncture and moxibustion first, and then prescribe some medicine for you. If you take it regularly, it will be relieved."
As she spoke, she took out a silver needle and began to give the old man acupuncture.
Li Xiangyi stood aside, looking at Qiao Wanwan's focused expression, his heart full of admiration.
In the evening, the setting sun dyes the sky golden red.
Qiao Wanwan and Li Xiangyi packed up their things and prepared to leave.
The shopkeeper came over and said, "You two have worked hard today. Why don't you stay at the clinic? This will save you from having to look for an inn."
Li Xiangyi declined politely, "Thank you for your kindness, boss. We have already found a place to stay."
Qiao Wanwan also said, "Yes, shopkeeper, thank you for bothering me today. We will visit you again when we have the chance."
The two men said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left the clinic.
They walked on the street, watching the bustling crowds and feeling the atmosphere of the world.
Li Xiangyi said, "Sister, our journey together, helping the weak and fighting the strong, saving the world, I think is very meaningful."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Yes, it's a very happy thing to be able to use what I have learned to help others."
The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward.
They did not leave their names, but their good deeds left a deep impression on the people.
Legends about two young heroes began to spread in the martial arts world. They were chivalrous and had superb medical skills, but they never left their names.
Two years passed like a flash.
Qiao Wanwan and Li Xiangyi traveled westward, passing through countless mountains and rivers, and experiencing various customs and cultures.
Qiao Wanwan's medical skills became more and more sophisticated, and even her martial arts skills improved day by day. Her Mingyu Gong had reached the fifth level. Her appearance was even better than before under the influence of the skills. In order to avoid trouble, she could only cover her face with a veil.
That day, Qiao Wanwan went out of the city alone to collect herbs.
It was early summer, the mountains were lush with vegetation, and various medicinal herbs were in full bloom.
Qiao Wanwan carried a medicine basket and shuttled through the mountains and forests, carefully identifying each herb.
Suddenly, she heard a faint groan coming from the grass not far away.
Qiao Wanwan was startled and quickly followed the sound.
I saw a man in black clothes lying in the grass, his face was as pale as paper, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Qiao Wanwan went forward to check and found that he had multiple wounds on his body, and the skin around the wounds was a strange purple-blue color.
She reached out to take the man's pulse, her brows furrowed.
"Oh no, he's been poisoned!"
Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself with a serious expression.
She didn't dare to delay and quickly took out silver needles and some commonly used herbs from the medicine basket.
Qiao Wanwan carefully felt the man's pulse, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"This is... 'Seven Steps Heartbreaking Powder'!"
Qiao Wanwan exclaimed, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.
Seven-step Heart-breaking Powder is an extremely rare and deadly poison. The poisoned person will die within seven steps and there is no cure.
But the man in front of him had obviously been poisoned for a long time, but he could still maintain a trace of consciousness, which showed how profound his internal strength was.
"Fortunately, you have deep internal energy and were able to protect your heart meridians temporarily. Otherwise, you would have died long ago."
Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself, and she quickly took out the silver needles she carried with her, and first acupunctured several major acupoints on the man to block the path of the poison's spread.
Then she took out some herbs from the medicine basket, crushed them on the spot, and applied them to the man's wound.
After doing all this, Qiao Wanwan was already sweating profusely.
She sat next to the man, observing his condition and thinking about how to detoxify him.
"Although the Seven-Step Heartbreaking Powder is extremely toxic, it's not completely untreatable. However, the antidote formula has long been lost, and several key ingredients are extremely rare. Creating it would be incredibly difficult..."
Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself, her brows furrowed as her mind raced through all the medical books and prescriptions she had ever learned.
She recalled an ancient acupuncture method Dr. Xu had once mentioned to her: the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. It was said that this acupuncture method could stimulate the body's inherent potential, open blocked meridians, and even bring the dead back to life.
"Maybe... we can give it a try..." A hint of determination flashed in Qiao Wanwan's eyes.
