"Help them inside first."

Seeing Dr. Huang's condition, Lu Qiqi could not care about anything else and could only go back to the room to talk about it later.

Li Changlong stepped forward to help, and together with Lu Da, they helped Doctor Huang into the house.

Be careful.

Lu Qiqi was worried that Doctor Huang might be injured and that Li Changlong and the others might accidentally cause him further harm.

Dr. Huang sat in the chair, listlessly looking up at Lu Qiqi, muttering the word "help" over and over again.

Lu Qiqi poured a bowl of water and fed it to him.

"What happened?" Li Changlong asked anxiously.

Li Changlong's heart was burning with anxiety. Doctor Huang and Doctor Luo, along with Zhou Yi, had left together this morning, but only one of them had returned; the other two were nowhere to be found.

The man who returned was covered in wounds and was still crying for help; how could he not be anxious?

Lu Qiqi patted Doctor Huang's back and then took Doctor Huang's hand to check his pulse.

Dr. Huang slapped his thigh, looking pained, and said, "Dr. Luo and Zhou Yi fell off a cliff!"

"What!" Li Changlong's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing.

When he finally realized what was happening, he angrily said, "Didn't Qiqi tell you long ago that you should take the villagers with you when you go into the deep mountains? The deep mountains are dangerous. How could you be so careless!"

Dr. Huang lowered his head, his face full of regret, but he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

Lu Qiqi calmly said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to take us to see where the incident happened."

"Is his injury alright?" Li Changlong asked, pointing to the bloodstains on Doctor Huang's body.

"It's nothing serious, just a superficial injury," Dr. Huang stood up. "I'll take you there right away."

Then, with slightly trembling steps, she walked outside.

Lu Qiqi said, "Brother Lu, let's go first. Could you help us find a few men and a long rope?"

Lu Da nodded, and the group parted ways as soon as they left the courtyard.

With Li Changlong's support, Dr. Huang's steps were not slowed down.

The three walked further in, and as evening approached, night gradually fell.

Lu Qiqi suddenly spoke up, "It's too dark to see the road clearly, and it's too dangerous to go deep into the mountains."

Li Changlong helped Doctor Huang up as they looked at the woods ahead. The trees were dense and dark, and the road was indeed difficult to travel.

"Zhou Yi and Dr. Luo are still inside. We have to go and rescue them!"

Li Changlong turned to Lu Qiqi and said.

"To save people, we must first ensure our own safety," Lu Qiqi said. "Let's wait for Brother Lu and the others to arrive."

With things having come to this point, there was no better way, so Li Changlong settled Doctor Huang under a big tree.

Dr. Huang was panting heavily from the journey, so Lu Qiqi gave him a heart medicine to relieve the shock he had experienced that day.

Seeing that Doctor Huang had swallowed the medicine, Lu Qiqi said, "I haven't asked about your recent trips to the deep mountains. Now that Doctor Luo and Zhou Yi's fates are unknown, I should know why."

Lu Qiqi's voice was cold and clear, but there was already a hint of anger in her chest.

These three had completely forgotten what she had told them before, and only realized they needed to go back to find her now that something had happened.

Doctor Huang could easily understand Lu Qiqi's unspoken message. He said, "After going around this mountain, there is a cliff. Doctor Luo found a resurrection herb on the cliff, and then the two of them went down the cliff."

Lu Qiqi has captured important information.

Resurrection Grass?

It grows on cliffs and was called the "resurrection herb" by the ancients. After thinking about it, there can only be one kind.

That's Dendrobium.

Ancient books record that a single resurrection plant can be worth a thousand gold pieces.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi's voice became even colder, "You're willing to risk your lives for a resurrection herb?!"

"No, no, no," Doctor Huang shook his head, using all his strength to deny it.

"Dr. Luo said the resurrection herb has extremely high medicinal value, and it's rare for it to grow in such a place after living for so many years. He refused to give it up no matter what, and Zhou Yi and I couldn't persuade him otherwise. We also couldn't just leave this old man like him to fend for himself, so..."

Lu Qiqi felt a headache coming on and interrupted Doctor Huang, asking, "Have you and Zhou Yi seen the Resurrection Grass?"

This question completely baffled Dr. Huang. He blinked and thought carefully, realizing that he had only heard Dr. Luo's account of the entire process.

None of the three of them had ever seen the Resurrection Grass, let alone knew what it looked like.

Through the moonlight, Lu Qiqi could vaguely see Doctor Huang's expression, which made her liver ache with anger.

With a hint of anger, she answered Dr. Huang's question, "How could an old man like him have eyesight as good as Zhou Yi? Even Zhou Yi couldn't see the resurrection herb, how could he possibly see it clearly!"

She cursed Doctor Luo in her heart, that old geezer who actually tricked two idiots into accompanying him to find medicine.

At that moment, a fire broke out in the distance.

The firelight gradually moved and soon arrived in front of them.

Lu Da led a dozen or so villagers over, and Zhao Xiaodong walked all the way to Lu Qiqi.

With a "plop," he knelt down.

"It's all my fault. He asked me to borrow a rope on Monday, and I gave it to him."

Zhao Xiaodong regretted his actions; he should have asked more questions first, and he would have been able to stop Zhou Yi.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi's temples throbbed, and her stomach churned as if in a raging storm.

You're going to die!

I'm starving, I want to punch someone!

Before Lu Qiqi could speak, Lu Da kicked him and said, "Get up quickly, saving lives is the priority."

After saying that, he led the villagers into the mountains.

As he walked in, Lu Da loudly reminded the villagers to watch their step.

These villagers have been climbing and rolling on this mountain for countless years, but even now, at night, they dare not let their guard down.

Lu Qiqi rubbed her stomach and followed the villagers into the mountains, planning when to pull a radish from her spatial storage to fill her stomach.

Just as she was lost in thought, a piece of cake suddenly appeared in front of her.

This is a timely help!

Lu Qiqi acted faster than she spoke, taking the pancake first before saying thank you.

Lu Da said, "I don't know when we'll find anyone. Let's have something to eat first. I'll go and distribute some to the villagers."

Only then did Lu Qiqi notice that Lu Da was holding a large bag of flatbread.

After eating the flatbread, everyone filled their empty stomachs and made their journey on the mountain path much faster.

We crossed a hill and walked for about fifteen and a half minutes.

Dr. Huang's round trip took Lu Qiqi at least five or six hours.

We are still in the golden window of opportunity to save them, and even though it is getting dark, we must go to the cliff to check the situation.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Lu Qiqi heard a sound.

"We've arrived."

A villager shouted from ahead, and the people behind stopped in their tracks.

Lu Qiqi pushed through the crowd and walked forward, where she saw a rope tied to a large tree on a cliff.

The ropes on the other side were all piled up on the ground.

Lu Qiqi squatted down and glanced at the end of the rope.

If the rope cannot withstand the weight of the two people, it will show signs of breaking.

She said, "Bring the torch closer to help me light the way."

The firelight was bright, and the end of the rope was clearly visible.

There was no sign of the rope breaking as Lu Qiqi had guessed.
