The captain was surprised. He had always thought that Zhong Guochang just knew a little bit of Chinese medicine and some herbs, and his medical skills were probably not much different from those of an ordinary barefoot doctor. But now, after hearing what Deputy Captain Song said, he realized that Zhong Guochang was a very powerful person.

Even Xu Jiaojiao, who had followed all the way to inquire about the situation, was surprised. She knew that Zhong Guochang was knowledgeable in medicine, and that Xu Shuiping was able to become a barefoot doctor because he learned from Zhong Guochang. However, she and the team leader thought that he was about the same level as an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner.

Zhong Guochang was a little dazed. He didn't know how many times he had dreamed of these words and thought he would never hear them again in his lifetime.

"Mr. Zhong!" Song Yun called out when she saw him in a daze.

Zhong Guochang came back to his senses. He looked at Song Yun, a little embarrassed. "Can I really do this? I haven't made medicine in years."

Song Yun said, "Some things are etched in our bones. We won't throw them away even if we don't use them for years. They just become rusty. But what does it matter? We can just pick them up."

No one knows Zhong Guochang better than himself. After he was framed, he was exiled to the mines. During those years in the mines, he experienced life and death several times. Later, he saved a leader. In order to repay the life-saving grace, the leader worked for him and brought him here to live in the cowshed. Although life was still hard, at least he was alive.

Over the years, no matter how hard or difficult it was, he never gave up his lifelong pursuit of pharmacy. The knowledge and experience that he knew by heart in the past were still ingrained in his mind now. Without paper and pen, he would use a wooden stick to write down his thoughts and insights on the open ground, recalling the ancient prescriptions passed down from generation to generation by the Zhong family. Without the conditions to make medicine, he would close his eyes and simulate making medicine, never slacking off.

"Do you believe me?" Zhong Guochang asked.

Song Yun smiled, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be here."

Zhong Guochang laughed, tears welling up in his eyes, and then he said in a resounding voice, "Okay, I promise you, bring the sample over here, and I will definitely make sure this thing is done."

Song Yun shook her head. "I came here today just to inform you in advance so you can be mentally prepared. I've already reported the matter of researching miasma to my leader, and he agreed to my request. There should be news in the next few days, so just wait patiently."

Zhong Guochang's hands trembled slightly. "You mean, you don't want me to do this here?"

Song Yun nodded. "Xiaozhu can't remain in obscurity forever. Your abilities shouldn't be wasted in a place like this. I believe the higher-ups will see your abilities through this opportunity. Mr. Zhong, you must seize this opportunity. It will be a turning point in your life." It was also a turning point in the lives of sisters Luo Qing and Peng Xiaozhu.

Zhong Guochang understood her meaning and was very excited and moved, even to the point of tears.

He and Song Yun had never met before, but she had helped him so much that it was no exaggeration to say that she had saved his life.

Now that she has secured such an opportunity for him, he doesn't know how he will repay her in the future.

Without giving Zhong Guochang a chance to say anything sentimental, Song Yun waved goodbye to him and turned away.

As soon as Song Yun left, the team leader's attitude towards Zhong Guochang changed drastically. He told him not to work in the fields anymore and to go back and rest.

Zhong Guochang did not go back to rest, but picked up the hoe and continued his previous work. On the surface, he looked no different from before.

It's not that he doesn't like working, it's just that he's feeling very emotional right now and needs to do something to ease his mood. Besides, there's no real conclusion yet, so it's not wise to enjoy privileges now.
