Chapter 388
Time passed, and many years later, a young man brought his seriously ill mother to the clinic. His eyes were filled with anxiety and expectation as he earnestly told Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen about his mother's condition, hoping they could save her. Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were moved by the young man's filial piety, and they resolved to cure his mother's illness.
They conducted a thorough examination of the boy's mother, tried every known treatment imaginable, and exhausted all their efforts. However, the condition showed no improvement; instead, it worsened. Watching the boy's mother grow increasingly weak, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen felt utterly frustrated and desperate. Just when they were about to give up, Dongfang Wan'er received an inspiration in a dream. In the dream, an elderly man with white hair taught her a miraculous remedy she had never used before. Upon waking, Dongfang Wan'er was skeptical, but she decided to give it a try anyway.
Following the revelation in her dream, she concocted a new medicine. After feeding it to the boy's mother, a miracle occurred again. The mother's condition began to gradually improve, and she recovered day by day. The boy wept with joy, expressing his deepest gratitude to Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen.
From then on, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's fame spread far and wide. They became synonymous with divine doctors in people's hearts, and their story was passed down by word of mouth, forever remembered in the annals of medical history, inspiring generations of doctors to work tirelessly to save lives.
Years passed quietly, and the world seemed peaceful on the surface. But no one could have foreseen that an unprecedented and rare epidemic, like a surging black tide, would sweep in without warning. Wherever the epidemic reached, countless people contracted this ferocious and strange disease without any protection. Those afflicted became extremely weak, suffered from persistent high fever, and were covered in dense red rashes. Accompanied by violent coughing and difficulty breathing, their painful groans echoed through the streets and alleys, and the entire town was shrouded in the shadow of death.
Doctors from all over stepped forward, trying to save people suffering from illness. However, faced with this strange and inexplicable epidemic, they all seemed powerless. Previously effective treatments were completely useless against this epidemic; all their efforts were like stones sinking into the sea, utterly fruitless. Watching vibrant lives perish before their eyes, the doctors were filled with helplessness and despair, and could only shake their heads and sigh.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, far away, were filled with worry and anxiety. They knew that the people were suffering terribly and desperately needed help. Without hesitation, they packed their belongings, took the necessary medicines and medical books, and rushed to the epicenter of the epidemic.
When they arrived in the land ravaged by the plague, the scene before them was horrifying. The streets were deserted; the former bustle and prosperity were gone, replaced by deathly silence and desolation. From the houses came the painful groans of patients and the cries of their families. Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, disregarding their long journey, immediately threw themselves into the rescue work.
They meticulously examined each patient, recording their symptoms and the course of the illness in detail. However, as their understanding deepened, they discovered that this epidemic was extremely bizarre, unlike any disease they had ever encountered before. Their previously accumulated extensive experience in treating illnesses was largely useless at this time. Faced with this thorny problem, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen did not back down; they decided to start researching this mysterious disease from scratch.
In their makeshift clinic, the two worked tirelessly day and night. They consulted medical books and tried treatment after treatment, but the results were always disappointing. With so many people falling ill and no effective cure found, the death toll continued to rise. Every time they heard news of someone's passing, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen felt as if their hearts were being torn apart. They were frantic, desperately wanting to find a cure for the plague and save these innocent lives.
Just as they were feeling extremely anxious, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly remembered a dream she had received years ago that revealed a miraculous remedy. In that dream, she was guided by an old man and successfully cured a critically ill patient. This experience ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart; perhaps she could also gain enlightenment through a dream this time. Therefore, she suppressed her anxiety and unease, calmed her mind, and prayed devoutly every night, waiting for the dream to return.
Finally, on a quiet night, Dongfang Wan'er drifted off to sleep once more. In her dream, the white-haired old man appeared as promised. The old man's face was kind yet solemn, and he earnestly told Dongfang Wan'er that the key to this epidemic lay in a special herb that grew in a treacherous valley. Only by finding it could a cure for the epidemic be developed.
Upon waking, Dongfang Wan'er was overjoyed and immediately told Ye Jiuchen about her dream. Without any delay, the two quickly packed some essential items and embarked on their journey to find the herbs.
The valley was located deep in the mountains, with extremely treacherous terrain and rugged mountain paths. The mountains were filled with jagged rocks and overgrown with thorns, threatening to injure one if not careful. Moreover, thick fog often shrouded the valley, severely reducing visibility and making it difficult to discern directions. But Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were not deterred by these difficulties; they supported each other and trudged forward step by step.
During their search for herbs, they encountered countless dangers. Once, Ye Jiuchen accidentally slipped and nearly fell off a cliff, but fortunately, Dongfang Wan'er reacted quickly and pulled him back. Another time, they lost their way in a valley and wandered for a long time in the dense forest. Just when they were feeling hopeless, Dongfang Wan'er, with her keen observation skills, spotted some familiar markings, which led them out of their predicament.
After several days and nights of arduous trekking, they finally discovered the special herb in a secluded corner of the valley. Looking at the herb before them, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were moved to tears. They carefully collected a large number of samples and then rushed back to the epicenter of the epidemic.
Back at the clinic, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen immediately threw themselves into the intense work of developing the potion. Following the old man's instructions in their dream, they meticulously processed and decocted the herbs. After countless trials and adjustments, they finally succeeded in creating the potion.
