Qiu Sheng was injured

The valley where the Xingxing grass grows is called Snowflake Valley. The terrain of the valley resembles snowflakes, so it was named Snowflake Valley by local people.

After a night's rest, Shi Yanqing, led by Wen Rushi, came to the entrance of the valley. What he saw was white-gray fog, and occasionally he could hear a few birds singing from the valley.

Dan Ye and Qing Ping did not follow. They went to Nanbian Town to buy the daily necessities they would need and sent a letter to Zhou Hanzhang.

As for Xi Guan, he was going to have tea and chat with the nightmare doctor, and borrow some medical books to read, so he asked his apprentice to accompany Shi Yanqing.

"Junior sister, we are now at the entrance of Snowflake Valley. The fog here is not as thick as in the valley, but we should take an antidote first just in case." Wen Ru took out a palm-sized medicine bottle from his wide sleeves. He first poured a pill into the palm of his hand and swallowed it.

Then he looked at Shi Yanqing, and after she stretched out her hand, he poured a pill into her palm.

The soybean-sized pill looked particularly small in the palm of his hand. Shi Yanqing pinched the pill and put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Brother, I want to go into the valley and explore."

Shi Yanqing didn't plan to go deep into the cave, but only explore near the entrance.

I want to see if there is anything special. It would be even better if I could find a way to suppress the fog.

Wen Rushi did not refuse her request, "It just so happens that I also want to go in and pick some herbs."

Hearing this, Shi Yanqing became curious, "Are these the herbs used to prepare the antidote?"

Wen Rushi nodded.

"The Snowflake Valley is filled with fog, but the plants grow even more luxuriantly than outside the valley. Master discovered that the herbs here can inhibit the toxins in the fog, so he collected some for experimentation."

Shi Yanqing also had this idea when he wanted to go into the valley.

She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose to prevent herself from inhaling too much mist.

The plants at the entrance to Snowflake Valley were common weeds, nothing special. If I had to point out one thing that was special about them, it would be that they were not susceptible to the poisonous fog.

About half an hour later, Shi Yanqing had finished the antidote in her hand. She estimated the effect of the medicine in her mind. When it was almost time to take the antidote, she found Wen Rushi and left Snowflake Valley with him.

Wen Rushi picked a basket of herbs inside and gave some to Shi Yanqing. "Junior sister, take these herbs too. You can try to prepare an antidote when you go back."

Shi Yanqing: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

......

Half a month later.

Someone from Daegu Village knocked on Shi Yanqing's door. He stood at the door with a cane, waiting for someone inside to open the door.

After a few breaths, Dan Ye opened the door from the inside. She had lived here for a while and knew almost everyone in the village. When she saw the village chief coming, a smile appeared on her face.

"Village Chief, why are you here? Do you have something to do with my wife?"

The village chief, named Qiu Dashan, is in his fifties and still in good health. He works in the fields during the busy farming season.

He accidentally fell down the hillside some time ago and injured his leg. Since then, he has been recuperating at home and has rarely gone out. Tan Ye only met the village chief twice in the first few days after he moved in.

So she was still a little confused about the village chief's behavior of coming to her house.

Qiu Dashan looked a little anxious. He quickly explained his intention: "Miss, my eldest son was accidentally hit on the leg by a rock just now. Doctor Xi and Doctor Wen are not at home, so I want to ask Doctor Shi to come to my house to check on my eldest son."

The village chief's son got his leg injured by a rock? They were both so unlucky. Tan Ye complained subconsciously in her heart.

"Don't worry, village chief. I'll go tell Doctor Shi right away." She said this hurriedly, turned around and ran into the house.

Seeing this, the village chief who was left at the door felt a little relieved. He did not go in, but stood at the door and continued waiting.

After a while, Shi Yanqing came out with a medicine bag on his back.

When she saw the village chief, she didn't say much and said directly: "Village chief, please lead the way."

The village chief's house was on the west side of the village, backed by a mountain. It was not far from where Shi Yanqing lived now. They arrived after walking for a few minutes.

The village chief's wife was standing at the gate of the yard looking outside. When she saw the person behind the village chief, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Hurry, Doctor Shi is here."

As the words fell, several women with women's hair styles came out.

"Doctor Shi, please save my husband. His leg was hit by a rock and has been bleeding ever since." The wife of the village chief's son Qiu Sheng cried to Shi Yanqing while wiping her tears.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will do my best to cure Qiu Sheng." Shi Yanqing patted her shoulder, spoke to her comfortingly, and then stepped into Qiu Sheng's room.

Qiu Sheng lay on the bed with a pale face. His injured left leg was stained red with blood. The small room was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was a bit pungent and a bit nauseating.

Shi Yanqing went closer to check Qiu Sheng's wound. The wound was bloody and mangled by the stone, and the clothes were stuck to it. It was impossible to pull it off by force, as it would only increase the blood loss from the wound.

"Danye, go get them to prepare hot water, boiled water, and scissors."

Danye: “Yes.”

She turned and left the room, telling the village chief and the women in his family what Shi Yanqing had said.

The village chief's wife was older than her daughters-in-law and had more experience. As early as after her son was carried back, she took her second and third daughters-in-law to boil a pot of hot water in the kitchen.

The water is boiling now, so it's time to serve it.

After a while, the village chief's wife brought in hot water and clean scissors.

During this period, Shi Yanqing first fed Qiu Sheng a blood-replenishing pill, and then used a silver needle to stop the bleeding from his wound.

She turned sideways, picked up the scissors, soaked them in hot water for more than ten seconds, then burned them on the fire for a while. After the water stains on the scissors disappeared, she waited for a while.

She waited until the scissors were no longer hot and returned to normal temperature before starting the next step.

"Danye, move the candle closer. I'm going to start cleaning the wound."

Upon hearing this, Dan Ye immediately raised the candlestick and moved closer to the end of the bed.

Shi Yanqing covered her mouth and nose with a mask shortly after entering the room. Now she stared intently at Qiu Sheng's wound, holding a needle in one hand and scissors in the other, and handled the scraps of cloth on the wound quickly and carefully.

The village chief sat aside and watched the scene nervously. Although the weather was not hot, he was sweating profusely on his forehead.

While handling the rags, the unconscious Qiu Sheng regained consciousness for a brief moment, but when waves of pain came from his legs, he fainted again due to weakness.

"Dan Ye, wipe the sweat off your face." A quarter of an hour later, Shi Yanqing sat back straight. Her shoulders and neck had become a little stiff due to maintaining the same posture for a long time. Now that she relaxed, the fatigue in her body that had been ignored instantly emerged.

Upon hearing this, Dan Ye immediately placed the candlestick on the table, then took out a handkerchief and went forward to wipe the sweat off Shi Yanqing's face.

All the rags on the wound have been cleaned off, but there are still some salt-sized gravel or other dirt on it. If it is not cleaned, the wound will become infected.

Shi Yanqing prepared some medicine powder for cleaning the wound before coming.

She poured the medicine powder into a bowl, then added boiled water. After stirring evenly, she looked at the village chief.

"Village chief, please support his legs."

The village chief, who had been sitting there watching, immediately stood up and walked over: "Okay."

Mr. Qiu was injured in his left leg, so it was easy to clean the wound now. He could get out of bed by just moving his leg slightly to the outside.

Before cleaning the wound, Shi Yanqing removed the silver needle from his leg, and blood began to flow out slowly again.

The gravel and dirt on the wound were washed away by the water, and when the water in the bowl was drained, the wound was clean.

Shi Yanqing took out the gauze bandage from the medicine bag and gently absorbed the water on the wound. After it was almost healed, she sprinkled hemostatic powder and special wound medicine on it, and then bandaged the wound with gauze.

"Okay, I'll prescribe a prescription for him, and then he just needs to rest."

After leaving Qiu Sheng's room, Shi Yanqing handed the prescription to the village chief.

"Thank you, Doctor Shi. If you hadn't saved my husband, he would have been in great pain." Qiu Sheng's wife held Shi Yanqing's hand tightly, her tone excited and grateful.

Shi Yanqing smiled softly, "He's fine now. He'll be back to normal after taking some medicine and resting for a while."

Outside the courtyard, Xi Guan and Wen Rushi walked in.

They left the village to look for a nightmare doctor, but when they came back they found Shi Yanqing and Dan Ye were not in the house. After asking Qingping, they found out that they had gone to the village chief's house, so they came to find them.

"Doctor Xi, you are finally back." The village chief was very happy to see the two of them.

Although his son had been treated by Shi Yanqing, he still wanted Xiguan to take another look, just in case there was anything wrong, so that he could remedy the situation in time.

Xi Guan saw what the village chief was thinking, but he ignored it and just stopped to chat with him for a few words.

Shi Yanqing guessed that the two men must have something urgent to tell her, so she gave Qiu Sheng's wife some instructions on taking care of things. After collecting the medical fee, she followed Xi Guan and left the village chief's house.

"Yanqing, Rushi and I made a new discovery this time."

As Xi Guan spoke, he gestured to Wen Rushi to put the cloth bag on the table, and then he took out a few herbs with purple roots from it.

"What is this?" Shi Yanqing asked.

"This is Dream Spirit Grass." Wen Rushi explained.

"The leaves of the Dream Spirit Grass can be made into a hallucinogenic drug, while the rhizome can be made into a wake-up drug. This is a herb we learned about from the Nightmare Doctor's medical books."

"My master and I speculated that Dream Spirit Grass could be used to dispel fog poison, so before returning, we went to Snowflake Valley to conduct an experiment. The juice from chewing the rhizome has a certain resistance effect against fog poison."

Shi Yanqing couldn't help but clench his fists, his expression becoming serious: "Brother, are you and Uncle-Master risking your lives to test the poison? What if the rhizome of the Purple Spirit Grass can't cure the fog poison? Wouldn't you..."

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. Master and I were conducting experiments at the entrance and didn't go deep inside." Wen Rushi explained.

Reassured? I can't be at all. Shi Yanqing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing her like this, Wen Rushi knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he looked at his master for help.

Xiguan then changed the subject: "Yanqing, I have a feeling these Dream Spirit Grasses are the key to removing the fog poison and entering the Snow Valley. I'm going to stay indoors for the next few days to research the antidote. If you have any questions, please consult Rushi. If you really can't solve the problem, come to me."

Shi Yanqing said seriously: "Yanqing will remember it."

After Xiguan closed its doors, Shi Yanqing also took the Menglingcao and began to study it, but she couldn't close the door. After all, she still had to go to the village chief's house to change the dressing on Qiu Sheng's wound, and modify the prescription according to his recovery.

During this period, she received a letter from Zhou Hanzhang.

The letter said that Han Gui took his grandfather to Shaoshan, and that Lu Jue left Yunshui County, apparently to go to the northwest to find his fiancée.

When Shi Yanqing saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It seems that these two people are still entangled.
