Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

Healing the sick with skillful hands, reaching the pinnacle of success

As night deepened, a sense of panic spread among the people like a plague.

One after another, villagers collapsed in agony, clutching their stomachs. The groans broke the silence of the night, and a suffocating fear filled the air.

Su Yunlan's expression was solemn as she quickly moved among the patients.

She carefully observed each patient's symptoms: high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and strange red spots on the skin.

As Su Yunlan touched the patient's burning forehead with her fingertips, her brows furrowed, and the unease in her heart grew stronger.

This is definitely not your average stomach upset; it's more like...

A highly contagious disease!

"It must be the water conservancy project that angered the river god!" Liu the craftsman's sharp voice rang out from the crowd. He pointed to the irrigation canal under construction not far away, his expression agitated. "We shouldn't have disturbed the river god's dragon vein! Now the river god is punishing us with a plague, all because of Su Yunlan!"

His words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the fear in the villagers' hearts.

The villagers, who were already skeptical of the water conservancy project proposed by Su Yunlan, were now filled with even more resentment towards her.

"Yes! It's all her fault! She's the one who ruined us!"

"Get her out of the village!"

The waves of anger surged one after another, almost drowning out Su Yunlan.

Su Yunlan suddenly stood up, her gaze sharp as she swept over the terrified and angry faces.

"Absurd!" she shouted angrily. "The illness is caused by disease, not by the wrath of the river god! Listening to the nonsense of craftsman Liu will only delay the opportunity for treatment!"

Pointing to the red spots on a patient's body, she said firmly, "Look, these are typical symptoms of an epidemic, and they have nothing to do with the water conservancy project! If we don't control it in time, the whole village will be infected!"

The craftsman, Liu, was intimidated by Su Yunlan's imposing manner, but still stubbornly retorted, "What do you know? My ancestors have lived in this village for generations, and I've never seen such a disease before! You must have disturbed the river god..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, blocking Su Yunlan's path, his eyes coldly fixed on Craftsman Liu. "Lan'er is a master of medicine; her judgment won't be wrong!"

Among the crowd, Sun, a young man who supported Su Yunlan, also stood up and shouted, "I believe in Madam Su! She saved my grandfather's life!"

The villagers were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

On one side is the river god belief passed down through generations and the instigation of craftsman Liu; on the other side is Su Yunlan's professional judgment and Xiao Yuhan's support. They don't know who to believe.

Su Yunlan took a deep breath, suppressing her agitation, and looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

She knew that she needed to present more compelling evidence to convince these villagers who were blinded by fear.

“I need some medicinal herbs,” Su Yunlan said calmly, her gaze falling on Xiao Yuhan, “Yuhan…”

Without saying a word, Xiao Yuhan turned around and ran towards their residence.

Su Yunlan took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill and handed it to Sun Shaonian, "Take this, dissolve it in water and give it to the patient."

Sun Shaonian took the pills and did as instructed without hesitation.

The surrounding villagers stared intently at the patient taking the medication.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

Suddenly, the patient who was taking the medicine let out a soft groan, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his originally burning forehead began to cool down.

"It seems... I'm feeling better..." The patient's weak voice cheered up the villagers who were watching.

Su Yunlan felt somewhat relieved and turned to Village Chief Wang, saying, "Village Chief, I need a large amount of medicinal herbs to control the epidemic."

Village Chief Wang was now completely convinced of Su Yunlan's abilities and immediately ordered the villagers to collect the medicinal herbs Su Yunlan needed.

Xiao Yuhan quickly returned with a bundle. Su Yunlan opened the bundle and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs.

These medicinal herbs exude a rich aroma, and it's clear at a glance that they are top-quality.

She swiftly sorted, ground, and prepared the medicinal herbs, her slender hands flying among them like playing an elegant melody.

The villagers were dazzled by the sight, and their admiration for Su Yunlan grew even stronger.

They had never seen such exquisite medical skills, nor such precious medicinal materials.

Under Su Yunlan's direction, the villagers distributed the prepared medicinal soup to the patients.

As time went on, more and more patients recovered, and their panic gradually dissipated, replaced by gratitude and hope.

It was late at night when Su Yunlan finally finished treating the last patient.

She leaned wearily against Xiao Yuhan, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Xiao Yuhan tenderly wiped away her sweat, his deep eyes filled with affection. "Lan'er, you've worked so hard."

Su Yunlan looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Yuhan, I'm so happy to be able to help everyone."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"Lan'er," Xiao Yuhan suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with worry, "your medicinal herbs..."

Su Yunlan smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, I have my own way." She smiled mysteriously and turned to look at the deep night in the distance.

As dawn broke, golden sunlight bathed the tranquil village, dispelling the gloom that had shrouded it overnight.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of herbs, mixed with the fragrance of earth, which was refreshing and invigorating.

The villagers, who were sickly yesterday, are now full of energy, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Su Yunlan didn't sleep all night. She not only cured all the patients, but also stayed up all night to prepare preventative medicine pills and distributed them to every villager.

She explained the preventative measures in detail, her clear voice particularly distinct in the morning air: "These pills should be taken once a day to prevent the disease. In addition, pay attention to food hygiene, keep your living environment clean, and avoid reinfection."

The villagers listened intently, their eyes shining with admiration.

They had never seen a doctor with such excellent medical skills and such concern for them.

In their hearts, Su Yunlan was no longer just an ordinary exiled prisoner, but a divine healer who saved them from dire straits.

"Madam Su, you are truly a living Bodhisattva!" An old woman grasped Su Yunlan's hand, tears streaming down her face. "If it weren't for you, we would be dead!"

"Madam Su, we will never forget your great kindness!" A young father, holding his child, knelt down excitedly before Su Yunlan.

The villagers gathered around, expressing their gratitude to Su Yunlan.

Looking at the sincere faces, Su Yunlan felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

She never imagined that she could gain such high prestige in an unfamiliar time and space.

To express their gratitude to Su Yunlan, Village Chief Wang led the villagers in holding a thanksgiving ceremony for her at the ancestral hall.

Incense smoke filled the ancestral hall as villagers knelt in devout worship, chanting prayers for divine protection for the healer who had saved them from danger.

Su Yunlan stood in the center of the ancestral hall, receiving the respect and gratitude of the villagers.

She was dressed in plain clothes, but that couldn't hide the radiance she exuded.

She was like a goddess, revered by thousands.

The entire village was immersed in joy and reverence.

Su Yunlan's name is destined to become a legend in this village.

Night falls and the stars are shining.

Su Yunlan stood in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Suddenly, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a figure walked in...

Those who had previously been dissatisfied with Su Yunlan came to apologize after the villagers' gratitude ceremony.

With his head hanging low and his face full of shame, Liu the craftsman walked up to Su Yunlan and said in a low voice, "Madam Su, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have framed you like that." Su Yunlan looked up and saw that his eyes were darting away, and he dared not look her in the eye.

Su Yunlan smiled calmly and said in a gentle voice, "It's alright, it's good that you know your mistakes and can correct them." Her voice reached the ears of craftsman Liu like a clear spring, which eased the guilt in his heart a little.

Zhang Fuhu also walked over awkwardly, holding a small bag of silver coins in his hand.

He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Madam Su, I was reluctant to spend money on water conservancy projects before, and I had many complaints about you. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." Su Yunlan looked at the bag of silver coins and gently shook her head: "No need for money, just be more considerate of the village in the future." Her generosity and tolerance were seen by the villagers, who respected her even more.

Su Yunlan felt a sense of accomplishment as she listened to the villagers' ardent gazes, as if a warm current was flowing through her body.

However, just as this peaceful and tranquil scene unfolded, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar.

The sound of hooves initially resembled a faint rumble of thunder, but gradually grew louder, the "clattering" of hooves sounding like a dense drumbeat striking the ground.

Su Yunlan's ears twitched slightly, her keen hearing catching the sound.

She turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Everyone stopped talking and listened intently as the sudden sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility of the entire village.

Su Yunlan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "The sound of horses' hooves..." Xiao Yuhan walked to her side, took her hand, and looked at her warily.

They stood quietly, waiting for the sound of horses' hooves to approach, and the story ended there.
