Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"Is this Yunshan wood the one that only grows near the Yunshan River?"

Several other people standing nearby couldn't help but speak, and the room became noisy for a while.

"I……"

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong..."

"Is Doctor Cai home?"

Cai Cheng was about to explain when there was a knock on the door which had just been closed by Yu Shui.

"Here I am."

Cai Cheng barely mustered the strength to respond, and Yu Shui very attentively ran to open the door.

Then as he opened the door, he saw a bright red.

"Dr. Cai! Dr. Cai! Thank you so much!"

"If you hadn't helped me yesterday, my child would have died from that damn strange disease."

Before the door was fully opened, a gorgeously dressed woman walked in with a smile on her face. Behind her followed a man holding a banner with eight large characters written on it.

Medical genius!

Wonderful rejuvenation!

Seeing this scene, Tang Yi, who had been sitting silently by the side, finally closed his eyes.

What a ruthless move!!

The bright red color entered the house, but the atmosphere here instantly fell to the bottom.

But when the elegant lady actually walked into the house, she found that the atmosphere inside was a little wrong.

Cai Cheng could only stand up, take the banner, and say apologetically:

"Thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way here, but I have some trivial matters here today, so I won't invite you to have a cup of tea."

"Okay, okay." The woman smiled and nodded, then glanced at the others in the room one last time. "Then I'll be leaving first. Doctor Cai, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me. If I can help, I will do my best to help you."

After saying this, the woman hurriedly left with her servants.

But when Cai Cheng returned to the house, he found that the atmosphere seemed to have become even more depressing.

"Cousin, do you really have no medicinal herbs here?"

A young man who looked only slightly younger than Cai Cheng couldn't help but ask first.

"No more. I went to the military camp yesterday to treat the general. This is the last bit of bark I have."

Cai Cheng sighed and replied.

"But I remember there was a time when we ran out of herbs. How did you get them then?"

Cai Cheng's cousin then asked.

Upon hearing this, both Tang Yi and the other two players felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

coming.

Finally asked this question.

I guess this is the scene that the demon who caused today's events wants to see the most.

Cai Cheng could only smile bitterly now.

If the people in front of him were just ordinary patients, he could just say a few polite words to fool them, but now, the people in the room are all his relatives.

There is his cousin who he grew up with, his great aunt who has always been kind to him, and his late wife's sister-in-law.

He looked at these people's faces and thought about his situation during this period.

I could only sort out my thoughts in my head and then explain:

"That time I personally went to the Yunshan River to collect the herbs."

"But these past few days, my friends and I discovered that this strange disease was actually spread in the city intentionally by someone in order to kill some people they wanted to get rid of."

"And now they can't wait to get rid of me, a doctor who can treat this disease."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the scar on his face that had not yet healed.

"This is the scar left when they attacked me in the west of the city yesterday."

"So now, I can't leave the city."

The room fell silent again.

The expressions of Cai Cheng's relatives were also a little subtle.

"Can we ask someone else to help collect herbs?" my wife's sister-in-law couldn't help but ask.

"Who would go?" Cai Cheng said with a wry smile. "Yunshan wood looks very similar to ordinary trees. Except for experienced herbalists, ordinary people can't find Yunshan wood at all."

"Besides, we have to go to Yunshan River to collect herbs, and the enemy is watching us covetously outside the city."

"Even if the herb collectors took a detour to Yunshan River, how would they get back after collecting the herbs?"

He and Tang Yi had already discussed this method this morning.

Tang Yi even thought about asking the players in the gathering place to collect herbs and then have them send them to the city.

But Cai Cheng also told him that the biggest difference between this Yunshan wood and normal trees is that there is a green paste on the inside of its bark.

But there are so many trees in the valley. If you are not a person who collects herbs frequently, do you have to cut open every tree to check its bark?

This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Then...then what should we do?"

Cai Cheng's sister-in-law was also a little anxious, then she seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly looked back at Cai Cheng.

"Is there...is there a possibility...I mean...possibly..."

"This disease actually happened by chance. You say someone spread it on purpose. Then why didn't the mayor arrest him?"

"Right, isn't that right?"

Cai Cheng's sister-in-law seemed to have convinced herself, and her speech became faster and faster.

"And you were attacked in the west of the city yesterday. Maybe... it was just a coincidence."

"It's always a mess there, with people often trying to steal things. Maybe I was just unlucky and happened to run into a robber?"

"And this medicine is relatively rare, so it's normal for it to be out of stock in town."

"Right……"

After my wife and sister-in-law finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

Except for Cai Cheng's great-aunt and sister-in-law, who were now looking at him with expectant eyes.

Cai Cheng didn't even dare to look back and meet their gaze.

"I...let me think of another way." This was all he could muster out.

Finally the relatives left.

But this is only the first day. This disease will torture the patient for three days from onset to death.

And three days were enough to wear down the spirits of him and his relatives bit by bit.

"I have a proposal."

After being silent for most of the day, Tang Yi finally spoke:

"We need to go find that Qin Sima. I need to talk to him."

Chapter 39: Speaking of Cao Cao, did Cao Cao really come?

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Before Tang Yi finished speaking, there was another knock on Cai Cheng's door.

But this time the voice did not sound hurried, but rather calm.

Obviously not a patient.

Tang Yi looked back at Cai Cheng and found that his eyes were full of confusion. It was obvious that he didn't know the identity of the visitor.

"I'll open the door."

Tang Yi stopped Yu Shui's actions, then stood up and walked towards the door.

It is not yet known whether the newcomer is a friend or foe.

If it is an enemy, he needs to stop the other party outside the door as soon as possible.

He walked slowly to the door, then gently pushed it open a little and looked out.

The person outside the door was wearing a black robe, a hood on his head, and a mask on his face. Tang Yi could only tell from his figure that it should be a man.

However, this kind of attire is not uncommon on the streets of Yunhe Town. After all, in today's world, too many people do not want to reveal their identities and whereabouts.

But it is a bit abnormal for someone dressed like this to come to the door now.

"you are?"

Tang Yi did not express his hostility directly, but seemed not to care about the other person's attire.

At the same time, his hand hidden behind the door quietly grasped the hilt of the iron sword.

"it's me."

The man in black robe did not explain too much. After seeing Tang Yi, he pulled down his mask with his right hand.

Although his face was still hidden in the shadow of the black robe, it was clear enough for Tang Yi, who was standing in front of him, to see it clearly.

Qin Tan! ?

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously glanced at the system panel.

There is no prompt.

That means the person in front of me is either a demon or me!

But why did he come here suddenly?

But even if he had a lot of questions, the front door was not a good place to ask them.

He immediately opened the door sideways and let Qin Tan in.

After Qin Tan walked into the house, he lowered his hood, took off his mask, and quickly looked around.

Yu Shui and Erwuzai, who were originally on guard, also widened their eyes immediately.

what?

Speaking of Cao Cao, did Cao Cao really come?

Cai Cheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and went to greet him.

"Sima Qin? What are you doing..."

"I'm here to get out of town with you guys."

After Qin Tan confirmed that it was safe here, he didn't even sit down. He first looked at the four people in the room, and then quickly turned his gaze back to Cai Cheng.

"And we need to leave now and as soon as possible."

"Why?" Cai Cheng asked subconsciously.

When asked this, Qin Tan glanced at Yu Shui and Erwuzai who were sitting silently beside him.

"They are all family members, and they will leave the city together when the time comes." Cai Cheng understood Qin Tan's meaning and explained immediately.

Qin Tan nodded.

"Because there are traces of high-level fire-attributed demons in the south of Yunhe Town, I received military orders this morning to lead troops to reinforce them immediately."

"That……"
