During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Qin Shuangshuang knew that few people present were willing to believe her claim that the leaf could save lives.

She then analyzed the situation with Lin Zheng, saying, "These leaves can indeed heal people. If things go wrong, we can give it a try and see if we can cure the person's illness. If we can, then we can put our skills to use."

However, Lin Zheng then said directly to her, "No need to try. As long as you're sure about it, I think it's worth a try."

There are still some people in this temple who are on their deathbeds; let them try it first.

The imperial court's medicines haven't arrived yet, so I brought some with me. It's only enough to tide us over; I don't know which ones can save lives, but I do know they can dispel poison.

So now I'm thinking we can try using the medicinal herbs we brought to treat one group of people, and then use the method you suggested to treat another group, to see which methods are best combined. We're sure we'll find the most suitable solution among them.”

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and turned to Lu Jun, saying, "Let's quickly boil these leaves we brought back, and then give them to the Qin couple to drink."

There are still some seriously ill people in this dilapidated temple. Let them drink the medicine that Lin Zheng brought. The two Qin family members weren't exactly good people to begin with, so it's good to let them try it out first.

It would be better to give the good medicine to the seriously ill refugees; that way, I would feel better about myself.

Lu Jun agreed, finding it feasible. "Your mind is so pure, yet you are so vengeful. I'll quickly take these herbs and brew them."

Qin Shuangshuang nodded, "I'll go with you."

The two then went to a nearby place where they could brew medicine and put tree leaves directly into the chipped clay pot.

Jin Danian also took a handful of medicinal herbs and put them into a small, broken clay pot next to him, and they started to cook them at the same time.

Before long, two bowls of different colors were placed in front of Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng looked closely and asked, "Which bowl is it?"

Qin Shuangshuang said, "This bowl that I am holding in my own hands is it."

After Lin Zheng nodded, Qin Shuangshuang took the medicine in her hand and gave it to the old lady Qin, who was convulsing on the ground.

Old Lady Qin was already somewhat unwilling and struggled a lot, so several constables hurriedly stepped forward and subdued her.

Qin Shuangshuang then poured the medicine into the old woman's mouth, and after she drank it, she collapsed to the ground and remained motionless.

Similarly, Lu Jun and Jin Danian handed the bowl of medicine they were holding to a few refugees nearby and gave it to them to drink.

Qin Shuangshuang then instructed Lu Jun to fetch some snowballs and ice blocks for Old Lady Qin to hold in her mouth. The ice gradually melted in Old Lady Qin's mouth.

Qin Shuangshuang waited and waited until late at night, only to find that his convulsions had stopped, the water in the corner of his mouth had gradually dissolved, and his eyes were no longer as cloudy as before.

Even her high fever was gradually subsiding.

Lin Zheng and Jin Danian walked in at this moment. The people around them were shouting and wailing over and over again.

As soon as Lin Zheng entered, he looked at Qin Shuangshuang and asked her with a question, "How is it? It seems that Old Madam Qin is recovering quite well. If so, then this medicine can be used."

Jin Danian then said to Lin Zheng, "Sir, Qin Shuangshuang, this medicine does indeed look much better than the one we brought. Although our medicine can temporarily stop convulsions, their fever persists for a long time."

This proves that Qin Shuangshuang's medicine does have some merit, so it's best to trust her and use it.

However, Qin Shuangshuang then raised her hand and said to him, "We don't know how the old lady's symptoms will be tomorrow. If she wakes up and seems to be better tomorrow, we'll use that medicine."

However, you must keep this prescription a secret. I've also added other ingredients to the medicine, and I'll have to figure out exactly how to prepare it myself.

I estimate that even if someone were to take over, they might not be able to cure the person using my formula.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng asked curiously, "What formula was used?"

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang deliberately dodged the question again, "It is my own exclusive secret recipe, how can I take it out? However, please rest assured, sir, wherever there is a need for my recipe, I will definitely use it and will not keep any for myself, after all, it is a matter of saving lives."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng realized that Qin Shuangshuang was hiding something, so he didn't think much of it and left with Jin Danian.

After watching the two leave, Lu Jun stepped forward and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "I was the one who brewed that medicine, and you even gave those old ladies a piece of ice. I think you're up to what you were thinking before."

Qin Shuangshuang smiled. After all, she couldn't rely on it. This could be a good way to make money in the future. Right now, she certainly wouldn't charge, but in the future, or if she were to collaborate with others, she would definitely charge. Therefore, she couldn't let this news out now, nor could she let them think that just a few leaves could make it happen. She didn't want to risk other people's lives, so she knew her place and had to keep it a secret. Lu Jun smiled. "Don't worry, with me here, the news definitely won't get out. Let's wait until tomorrow to see how things develop. The next day, when you wake up, everyone around you will already be up." As before, some were vomiting blood, others were convulsing. Lu Jun was still resting nearby. He had taken turns watching over the area last night, helping Jin Danian and Lin Zheng treat the patients. Qin Shuangshuang hadn't disturbed him after waking up. He went closer to Old Lady Qin, who was watching him. His face was slowly recovering, looking like a normal person's. Now, looking at his performance, he seemed just like a normal person; he was even snoring evenly. Qin Shuangshuang smiled and quickly went over to shake Lu Jun awake. "Come here, I have good news for you!"

Lu Jun opened his eyes and saw Qin Shuangshuang's happy expression. Curious about what was going on, he followed her to Qingdao. Looking at the person on the ground, he realized they were acting just like a normal person, even snoring loudly. Lu Jun exclaimed happily, "Looks like we'll really have to rely on your folk remedy this time!" Qin Shuangshuang laughed, "Quickly go tell Lin Zheng this news. Lin Zheng, where are they resting now?" "In the delivery room next door," Lu Jun said. The two hurried to the delivery room. After knocking, they entered. Lin Zheng had already been washed. He turned to Qin Shuangshuang and asked, "Is it time to see the results?" Qin Shuangshuang nodded, "Yes, it's the folk remedy that can cure people. It seems we will definitely be able to cure everyone from this rat disease. Of course, you can rest assured." With just these words, Lin Zheng couldn't hold back his tears and knelt down on the ground, saying to Qin Shuangshuang, "I thank you, Miss Qin, on behalf of all the people in the city. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have been able to survive."
