Chapter 62: Life-saving Medicine

"Sister Jiang, don't worry, I might be able to help you."

As she spoke, she waved to a little maidservant, asking her to fetch some paper and ink, amid the two people's puzzled and expectant gazes.

After writing the letter, she handed it to the maid beside her.

"Go outside the second gate and give this letter to the servant. Ask him to give it to the people in Zhang's house. Then tell him to go to other houses and tell them that it was me who asked them to find me a herb called white peony."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

After the maid left, Jiang Xueying immediately stood up and thanked Chen Simin.

The Chen family is the largest medicinal herb dealer in the city, so they naturally have many more ways to obtain medicinal herbs than they do. With Chen Simin's help, it will definitely be much better than them running around like headless flies. They just hope they can find white peony as soon as possible.

"Sister Simin, thank you so much. We really have no other choice. If we can't find this medicine, the prescription will be useless. I thank you on behalf of those who are waiting for the medicine."

Jiang Xueying's words were full of gratitude. She had not expected that after accidentally running into Chen Simin, she would have such an encounter today. It was indeed fate's arrangement.

Doctor Li also thanked him and felt grateful that he had met a noble person.

Looking at the serious expressions of the two people, Chen Simin chuckled.

"Okay, don't be so polite to me. Sister Jiang, you saved my life back then, and I still think there's no way to repay you for saving my life! Since this medicine can save lives, it's worth it even if I spend more time looking for it. Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to ask, and there will be news soon. You've been running around for this medicine for so long, take a rest first."

Fortunately, the Chen family has extensive connections, and they eventually found Bai Shao through Chen Simin’s good friend.

After getting the medicine, Jiang Xueying was naturally grateful. She said that she had saved Chen Simin in the beginning, but in fact it was all by accident. She didn't do anything at all. Now that she had received such great help from Chen Simin, Jiang Xueying still felt a little guilty.

"To be honest, Sister Simin, we are looking for these medicines to save the people in the village. Some time ago, our village was flooded, and the houses and crops were submerged. Later, an epidemic broke out in the village, and the road to the village entrance was blocked. Doctor Li and I had a hard time getting here from the mountain. All in all, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."

After all, they no longer had time to go to other towns to look for Bai Shao, and even if they went, they didn't know if they could find her, so Chen Simin helped a lot this time.

"So many things have happened. So... Sister Jiang, is the situation in your village still serious now?"

Chen Simin didn't expect so many things would happen after she separated from Jiang Xueying. She felt that she and Jiang Xueying were destined to be together from the beginning. Now that Jiang Xueying had found her home by accident, it seemed like it was really God's arrangement.

Since Chen Simin asked, Jiang Xueying didn't intend to hide it from her and told her the current situation in the village.

Upon learning that they had encountered a dead body on the road, Chen Simin couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a really difficult time. I've heard that many people were drowned and died of illness in this flood, but I didn't expect your village to be so seriously affected. Sister Jiang, why don't I go back with you and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Chen Simin had been staying at home and had never gone out. After hearing about the situation, she expressed her willingness to go over and help.

Jiang Xueying immediately shook her head and refused, "No, there are many patients there, and you will get infected if you are not careful. It is better for you not to go."

"Oh, Sister Jiang, my family sells medicinal herbs, and I've been exposed to them since I was a child. How can I just stand by and watch something like this happen? I'm going back with you this time. One more person means more strength. If I can save as many people as possible, I'll save them. Maybe there's still room for me to help."

After hearing what Chen Simin said and looking at her enthusiastic and irresistible look, Jiang Xueying could no longer object.

Doctor Li was even more impressed and praised him repeatedly.

"Miss Chen is so kind and righteous. I really admire you. But it's getting late. We have to go back quickly."

They have already wasted a lot of time today looking for Bai Shao, so the sooner they can go back, the better.

Jiang Xueying nodded repeatedly. It was getting dark, and it would be best if she could return to the village before dark.

"What Doctor Li said is true. We have to go back as soon as possible."

So the three of them returned along the same route with the herbs.

After returning, Doctor Li did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately found the village chief and put on the table the medicinal herbs that he had collected with great difficulty.

"Village chief, we have already bought the herbs. It would be best if we could boil the herbs right away so that everyone can drink them."

"Okay, I'll find someone to do it right away!"

When the village chief heard that they had already bought the herbs, the stone in his heart fell immediately.

He had been waiting in the village, but there was no sign of them after a whole day. He was worried and wanted to send someone to look for them. Fortunately, they came back in time and brought back the herbs.

The village chief immediately arranged for people to find a pot and another group of people to build a stove. In a short while, the pot was set up.

After a while, the aroma of medicine wafted out of the pot.

When the villagers smelled the fragrance of the medicine, they felt at ease and were full of anticipation.

Chen Simin and Jiang Xueying took preventive measures. They went door to door, constantly reminding people not to eat food soaked by the flood, let alone dead food.

"Oh, how dare we eat it now? We threw away all the moldy food."

The villagers were very cooperative. They also knew that Jiang Xueying was thinking about them. What she said before was not to deceive them but was the truth. Moreover, with so many lessons learned before, everyone valued their lives.

"That's good. By the way, we have already boiled the medicine in a big pot. You all need to go to the village chief's house to get the medicine. Everyone must drink it. We cannot be careless about this."

Jiang Xueying looked serious.

Chen Simin on the side also said, "Yes, Sister Jiang is right. Everyone must drink it to prevent the spread of the disease. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

The villagers nodded repeatedly. How could they dare not cooperate now? After all, some people had already died.

After all, there are many people who are afraid of death, so they dare not disobey cooperation. Word of mouth spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. As a result, a lot of people soon gathered in front of the village chief's house.

After notifying all the households in the village, Jiang Xueying immediately rushed to the village chief's house. Seeing so many people gathered together, she couldn't help but frown.

This disease is easily contagious, and with so many people staying here, it is easy to cause cross infection.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xueying turned to Chen Simin and said, "Sister Simin, I'll go to the front to help. Please help me arrange these villagers. Let them line up one by one. There must be some space between them. They can't be too close together, otherwise it will be easy for cross infection to occur."
