I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 56: The Difficulty of Medicine Cabinets: The Challenge of Collapse of Trust
Baona's eyes were burning, as if she had discovered a new world.
"Pharmacist Yuwen! He might know where to find this herb!" Pharmacist Yuwen, a solitary herb collector, knows all kinds of herbs well and is nicknamed the "walking pharmacopoeia."
Bao Na immediately sent someone to find Pharmacist Yu Wen.
However, Pharmacist Yuwen said that this herb grows on the Cliff of Broken Souls - an extremely dangerous place that ordinary people dare not approach.
What's worse is that this herb is rare, and even if you go to the Cliff of Broken Souls, you may not be able to find enough.
"Soul-Breaking Cliff? This name sounds very unlucky..." Warrior Da Xi touched his head with a worried look on his face.
"What are you afraid of! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk! Hurry up, brothers, charge!" Wumeng Tianlong was excited and rubbed his hands, as if he was going to turn into Spider-Man in the next second and climb to the Cliff of Broken Souls.
Zhaoyang Ruyue held her forehead helplessly: "Can you be more steady..."
Under Bao Na's persuasion, Yu Wenyaoshi finally agreed to lead the way.
The group got ready and headed towards the Cliff of Broken Souls.
The journey to the Cliff of Broken Souls was indeed extremely dangerous, with steep cliffs and rugged rocks. If you were not careful, you would fall into the abyss.
With his rich experience, Pharmacist Yuwen led everyone through the dangerous cliffs.
After a difficult journey, they finally found the herb.
However, reality gave them a blow - the amount of herbs was far from enough!
Moreover, during the collection process, Yuwen Pharmacist accidentally fell while trying to save someone, and his arm was scratched by a sharp stone, and blood was flowing.
"Oh my god! This is too unfair!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but swear.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Back in the village, Doctor Changsun began to experiment with simple preparations using a small amount of new herbs.
He crushed the herbs, soaked them in mountain spring water, and then slowly boiled them over a fire.
The whole process was cautious and meticulous, like some kind of sacred ritual.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with a faint herbal aroma.
Finally, the medicine was ready.
Doctor Changsun poured the medicine into a bowl and handed it to a patient with a less serious condition.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the patient nervously.
After the patient drank the medicine, he miraculously opened his eyes after a long time, and his originally pale face gradually regained a hint of redness.
"It works! It really works!" Doctor Changsun was so excited that he burst into tears.
When the news spread, the whole village was in an uproar.
Desperate patients saw hope, and the once lifeless village regained its vitality.
However, just as everyone was rejoicing, Priest Yuanhong stood up and shouted, "This is all witchcraft! It's the devil's trick! Only God can save us!"
His words were like a thunderclap, instantly calming everyone down.
Some patients who were originally full of hope for the new herbal medicine also began to hesitate, looking at Baona and others with eyes full of suspicion and fear.
"Priest, you..." Baona was about to explain but was interrupted by Wumeng Tianlong.
Wumeng Tianlong walked to the side of Yuwen Pharmacist and carefully tore off a piece of clean cloth. His movements were surprisingly gentle, as if he was treating a precious piece of porcelain.
"Old Yu, bear with it. This thing looks scary, but it's actually no big deal." As he spoke, he skillfully bandaged the wound of Pharmacist Yu Wen.
With those steady movements and concerned eyes, where is there any trace of the previous "Spider-Man"'s recklessness?
Pharmacist Yuwen has always been a loner and rarely gets close to others, but at this moment he felt a warm current surge in his heart.
He nodded silently, and his impression of Wumeng Tianlong also changed quietly.
The hope that was finally obtained is swaying like a candle in the wind.
Priest Yuanhong's incitement was like a cancer, taking root and sprouting in the hearts of the villagers.
Although the herbal medicine has proven its efficacy, some villagers still distrust the rescue efforts of Zhaoyang Ruyue and others.
They were whispering and looking away, as if they were plotting something.
That night, something unexpected happened.
The makeshift medical clinic was destroyed and some important medicinal materials were stolen.
Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the messy scene and trembled with anger.
"Who did this?! This is outrageous!" She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Wumeng Tianlong comforted her from the side: "Don't be angry, Sister Yue, calm down, we will definitely find out who is behind this."
The Da Xi warriors were furious and wanted to find the saboteurs immediately and give them a good beating.
He shouted in a rough voice: "Who is so bold as to destroy the clinic? Stand up!" However, the scene was silent and no one dared to stand up and admit it.
The Da Xi warrior was about to take tough measures but was stopped by a hand.
He turned around and saw it was Bao Na.
Baona shook her head, signaling him to stay calm, then slowly walked to the center of the crowd... "I know what you are afraid of," Baona's voice echoed in the night sky, "but..."
"I know what you're afraid of," Baona's voice echoed through the night sky. "But fear won't solve the problem! Instead of hiding in the shadows and trembling, why not join us and find the light?" She paused, her gaze sweeping across the terrified faces. "I know some of you have been bewitched by Priest Yuanhong and believe we are 'demons' who bring disaster. But think about it, if we truly were demons, why would we go to so much trouble to save your loved ones and friends? We could just walk away and let you fend for yourself!"
Baona's words were so powerful that they resonated like a thunderclap in the hearts of the villagers.
Some villagers who had been bewitched began to waver. They looked at Baona's sincere eyes and listened to her powerful words, and a glimmer of hope gradually rose in their hearts.
Warrior Da Xi also changed his previous recklessness and said to the villagers in a surprisingly gentle tone: "Fellow villagers, I know you are afraid, but please believe us. We want to defeat this epidemic as soon as possible just like you. Please give us a chance and let us work together!" This cute contrast left many villagers stunned.
"Oh my god, this guy Da Xi actually has such a gentle side?" Wu Meng Tianlong muttered softly, but was elbowed back by Zhaoyang Ruyue: "Shut up and watch carefully!"
Unexpectedly, the taciturn Yuwen Pharmacist also stood up. He took out a herb from his arms and showed it to the villagers: "This is the new herb I picked today. It can effectively relieve the symptoms. I am willing to share my knowledge and experience with everyone and fight the epidemic together with everyone!" This move was unprecedented and stunned everyone present.
Upon seeing this, the Queen also stepped forward to express her full support for the rescue work and called on traditional doctors in the kingdom to join in.
Now, the few old doctors who were originally on the sidelines could no longer sit still and expressed their willingness to contribute their strength.
After all, who doesn’t want to cling to the Queen’s lap?
Just when everyone was working together to prepare for a great effort, a weak voice broke the brief harmony: "It's useless... We are all dead..." The lonely patient looked at the sky in despair, his eyes empty and lifeless.
Baona's heart sank suddenly. She walked over to the patient, squatted down, and held his hand: "Don't give up hope, we will find a way!"
At this time, Doctor Changsun ran over hurriedly, his face pale and panicked: "Oh no... medicinal materials... not enough medicinal materials..." As soon as Doctor Changsun said this, the atmosphere froze instantly, like a basin of ice water poured over one's head, extinguishing the fire of hope that had just been ignited.
"What? There are not enough medicinal materials? Are you kidding me?" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but swear, but fortunately he braked in time and didn't blurt out more excessive internet memes.
Zhaoyang Ruyue held her forehead with her hands, feeling her temples throbbing. What she feared was bound to come true.
"What exactly happened?" The Queen's voice was full of majesty, suppressing the buzzing discussions of the crowd.
Doctor Changsun wiped his sweat and explained tremblingly, "I originally thought that the herbs would be enough to last for a while, but...but the new doctors who joined, they...they use different prescriptions than the previous ones, and they need some relatively rare herbs...Now there are no more in the warehouse..."
"Huh? Is that even possible?" Wumeng Tianlong was confused. "Playing connect-the-dots? I need to put together a set?"
These newly joined doctors are all old scholars. Although they have superb medical skills, they are all very stubborn and insist on using their own "secret recipes handed down from their ancestors".
They thought that modern treatment methods were simply "heretical" and "unorthodox", and even wondered what a "woman" like Zhaoyang Ruyue knew about medicine, and scoffed at her suggestions.
"They are just a bunch of old stubborn people!" Zhaoyang Ruyue was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't just confront them directly. After all, now was the time when she needed people.
Baona took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
"It's come to this, complaining is useless. Pharmacist Yuwen, where else can I find these herbs nearby?"
Pharmacist Yuwen frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "There is a medicinal herb called 'Dragon Blood Grass' that is very effective in controlling the disease, but... it grows in the Broken Soul Valley..."
Valley of Broken Souls!
Just hearing the name sends chills down one's spine.
It is a well-known dangerous place. It is said that most people who enter it will never be able to get out.
"This..." The Da Xi warrior swallowed and subconsciously touched the sword at his waist.
Suddenly, the patient Dugu grabbed Baona's hand, and a strange light ignited in his eyes: "I'll go! I'll go to the Valley of Broken Souls! My life is worthless anyway..." His voice was hoarse and with a hint of madness, "If I can find the 'Dragon Blood Grass', maybe... maybe I can save others..."
Before Baona could stop him, the patient Dugu struggled to his feet and staggered out of the village... "Wait!"
