Tianlong Village, the grain drying ground.
The villagers had just returned to their houses when Tian Xiaoyang called them back.
Tian Xiaoyang's words were vague and incomplete, leaving many villagers confused and only knowing that they were related to the plague.
Since it was related to their own illness, they certainly didn't delay and quickly gathered together.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Village Chief Tian had already prepared his own set of words, and he stood on a small platform in the threshing ground.
He said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I have gathered you all here today because there is something that concerns our village's recovery that I have to tell you."
As soon as Village Chief Tian finished speaking, a villager shouted, "You'd better hurry up and tell us what happened, stop keeping us in suspense!"
The speaker was Tian Daqi, from Tianlong Village, who was most dissatisfied with Tian Dalong becoming the village chief.
Tian Dalong was interrupted but didn't mind, and continued, "It's like this, the female doctor who came to treat the villagers today said that there is one more medicinal herb to treat the patients in Tianxin Village, which the government did not provide when we came."
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers began to discuss it amongst themselves.
At this point, a villager asked, "What kind of medicine is it?"
Tian Dalong had been waiting for this very sentence, and he said, "Ginseng."
The crowd was in an uproar. They used ginseng to treat illnesses, but after farming for half their lives, few of them even knew what ginseng looked like.
Not to mention the delusion of using ginseng to cure one's illness.
That's not healing, it's just drinking money down your throat.
How much good karma must one have accumulated in their past life to have such a destiny in this life!
"What should we do? I've heard that ginseng is very valuable. One ginseng can feed a whole family for a lifetime."
"Hmph, who knows if the government has given them to us? If someone has bad intentions and keeps them for themselves, who will know?"
"I don't think so. Don't you think about the kind of person our magistrate of Heshun Prefecture is? He's a money-grubber himself. How could he let others take his wealth?"
"So tell me, did they keep some for themselves? Or did the government never provide this medicine at all?"
The man couldn't answer. Both explanations are possible. Otherwise, how did the villagers of Tianxin Village recover? Could it be that ginseng isn't needed to cure diseases at all?
They've been farmers for half their lives, so it's already quite remarkable that they could think of these things.
This was actually the result of a bunch of mediocre people coming together to come up with it.
The villagers discussed it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a convincing guess.
Just then, Tian Dalong gave Tian Xiaoyang, who was at the front, a wink.
Tian Xiaoyang immediately understood, "Why don't we go and beg those doctors? They have ways to save the people of Tianxin Village, and they can definitely save us too."
The illness in Tianxin Village is much more serious than ours; half the village died, but they were cured. We will definitely be able to leave the village alive too.
After Tian Xiaoyang finished speaking, the villagers seemed to be injected with adrenaline, instantly perking up and realizing that Tian Xiaoyang's words made sense.
"Why don't we go now? I think that female doctor is quite nice. Let's beg her together, she definitely won't let our whole village die."
"Yes, let's go now!"
With encouragement from many people, the villagers worked together to walk towards the courtyard where the doctors lived.
At this moment, Lu Qiqi was unaware of what had happened; she was discussing the prescription with Doctor Luo.
“The villagers in Tianlong Village have mild symptoms, so we need to reduce the dosage of their medicine. Otherwise, without ginseng to replenish the deficiency, I’m afraid they will quickly exhaust their bodies.”
Lu Qiqi offered her own perspective, while Doctor Luo had a different opinion.
"I think it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Their illness hasn't reached their lungs yet, and the damage isn't that severe."
Perhaps, by taking a gamble and not changing the dosage, it might actually benefit the villagers.
Dr. Luo's words made Lu Qiqi fall into deep thought.
Dr. Huang then poured Dr. Luo a bowl of tea. This wasn't the first time he had seen Dr. Luo's willingness to try anything and take risks.
This made him admire Dr. Luo, who, having lived half his life, had mostly sought stability, unlike Dr. Luo who, at his age, lived a carefree and insightful life.
"Female doctor."
Lu Qiqi was pulled back to reality when she heard someone calling her from outside, and her gaze turned to the gate in the courtyard.
Li Changlong also heard the sound. He had experienced the scene of many people rushing into Tianxin Village and was still in shock.
I dared not look at the door again.
Since the call was for Lu Qiqi, it was naturally Lu Qiqi who went to open the door.
She arrived at the courtyard gate and, through the crack in the gate, saw a person standing at the entrance.
It was Village Chief Tian, standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"What is it?" Lu Qiqi asked.
Village Chief Tian said, "I have already told the villagers what the female doctor asked me to convey today. There are still some things I would like to discuss with you."
If we're here to discuss something, it's not right to keep people out.
Lu Qiqi couldn't just rely on her sixth sense or personal likes and dislikes to stop Village Chief Tian from entering the house just because she felt something was wrong.
After that, there wasn't even a chance to ease the situation.
So she opened the door.
There was indeed only Village Chief Tian standing outside the door, so Lu Qiqi invited him into the courtyard.
"please."
The village chief had just stepped into the courtyard, and Lu Qiqi hadn't even had time to close the gate, when suddenly a large group of villagers appeared outside.
With so many villagers gathered together, Lu Qiqi lowered her eyes and opened the door wide.
He stood at the door, waiting for the villagers to explain their purpose.
As she hoped, Tian Xiaobin stood at the front and, encouraged by Tian Xiaoyang, said, "Doctor, you are a living Bodhisattva. Please save the villagers of Tianlong Village."
So it turns out they're trying to morally blackmail me.
