Half a month later, the number of mosquitoes in Qinghua Kingdom decreased sharply.
It turns out that the seeds of the silver heart centipede have sprouted one after another in the past two weeks. Although they have not yet flowered, they already have the ability to repel mosquitoes and even kill them.
Dean Xu also ordered the guard teams from various regions to harvest a batch of silver heart centipede leaves to make a new type of insecticide.
Because silver heart centipede grass is being cultivated nationwide, the raw materials are relatively plentiful.
After producing a sufficient quantity of the new insecticide, the plane sprayed it again over Qinghua Country, which initially alleviated the insect infestation.
Due to the significant reduction in mosquito populations, there are almost no new HZ virus infections in Qinghua Country, so many people now dare to remove their face veils, which used to be an eyesore.
However, there are still a few people who resolutely refuse to accept it, namely those who are disfigured.
However, thanks to the scar removal cream, their facial skin no longer looks so scary, and it's believed that they will be able to return to their previous lives soon.
Moreover, under the guidance of the Qinghe Alliance, the entire Qinghua Kingdom has completed its autumn planting. Although the crops planted by each person are not exactly the same, at least they can have a harvest.
Because everything was getting better, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan received a notice in mid-October that they would be back to work the following Monday!
Upon seeing this message, Bi Qiaoan was stunned. "This is so sudden! So sudden that I'd forgotten I even had a job. I've already..."
Bi Qiaoan counted on her fingers, "It's been four or five months since I last went to work. It's so hard to get back to work all of a sudden!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's okay. If you're not used to it, neither are they. Everyone's the same."
Bi Qiaoan nodded. "Should we go see Grandpa Lin before we go to work? It's been a while since we last saw him."
Shen Yanming estimated the time; the old man's skin should be mostly healed by now. He then nodded to Bi Qiaoan.
However, Shen Yanming still went into the space and used the medicinal herbs that grew in the space to prepare a box of scar removal cream. After thinking for a while, he added a drop of spiritual spring water to it.
The two prepared some snacks and went to the hospital the next morning.
"Oh, what brings you two here? Visiting this old man?" Old Master Lin was very happy to see Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, after all, they were the only people who had visited him during his hospitalization besides his family.
"Look at what you're saying, it sounds like you don't welcome us," Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome! How could we not welcome you? Little girl, please have a seat."
Seeing that Old Master Lin's face was still covered by a veil, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Why are you still wearing a veil? It's so inconvenient."
Grandpa Lin subconsciously touched his face, then smiled and said, "I'm not fully recovered yet, I'm afraid of scaring the patient too much."
Although Grandpa Lin was smiling, Bi Qiaoan could tell that he was forcing a smile, and it seemed that the old man still cared a lot about his appearance.
At this moment, Shen Yanming handed the bag he had brought to the old man, "These are some snacks for you, all made by Qiao An, so please feel free to eat them. There's a bottle inside with an upgraded scar removal cream; you can try it."
Grandpa Lin raised an eyebrow in surprise, took out the small bottle from the bag, opened it, and found that it was similar to the one he used.
"How exactly does this upgrade work?" Old Master Lin asked.
Shen Yanming said, half-jokingly, "The prescription is the same, but this one uses better medicinal herbs and contains some energy rainwater, so the effect will be better."
In fact, Grandpa Lin had also considered using the energy rainwater to improve his skin, but after trying it, he realized that if he wanted to fully recover, he would need a huge amount, and the amount he had at home was definitely not enough. Moreover, he needed to save the rest for his life.
Therefore, the old man solemnly thanked Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, and without any hesitation, removed his veil in front of them and applied the upgraded scar removal cream to his face.
When Bi Qiaoan saw the old man's face, she was really shocked. She didn't expect that his face was not only uneven, but also had different shades of color.
Grandpa Lin was naturally observing their expressions. Shen Yanming remained calm because he had seen even more terrifying things before, while Bi Qiaoan's pupils shrank subconsciously.
However, she remained calm and did not cry out. The old man was quite satisfied with their performance.
After applying the scar removal cream, Grandpa Lin put his veil back on and said to Bi Qiaoan, "Were you scared?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "No, it was just that I wasn't on guard for a moment. I had never seen it before, so I was subconsciously a little scared."
"But once I've seen it, I won't be afraid anymore. You can walk around in front of me without your veil on."
Grandpa Lin was amused by Bi Qiaoan's words. "Although what you said makes some sense, I've decided not to go out and scare people."
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan became anxious, "No, you're not scary, really not scary. If it's because of me, I'll feel guilty and uneasy."
"It's not because of you. Compared to others, you're actually doing well. You have no idea how many people have been crying and running out to see other doctors lately. I already had few patients, and now it's even more deserted."
Old Master Lin's voice was tinged with bitterness and grievance. He truly loved this job, but if he lost all his patients because of his face, he felt that life would have no meaning.
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan quickly comforted him, "It's okay. Just think of this period as a vacation. After you finish using the scar removal cream that my Yanming gave you, believe me, you will definitely become the most handsome old man in Haishi Hospital. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people lining up to seek treatment from you."
"Oh, you little rascal!" Old Master Lin chuckled and shook his head. "Since you're here, put your hand out."
Bi Qiaoan knew what Grandpa Lin was going to do, so she obediently stretched out her hand, "I should be quite healthy, hehe!"
Old Master Lin glared at him. "Whether someone is healthy or not is not for you to decide. But, oh?"
Shen Yanming became anxious after hearing only half of the old man's words, "What's wrong, Grandpa? Is there something wrong with Qiao An's health?"
Grandpa Lin withdrew his hand, then sternly asked Shen Yanming, "How can you be such a husband? You didn't even notice that your wife's period was more than half a month late?"
"Huh?" Shen Yanming was stunned by the question. During this period of not working, the two of them often stayed in the space, and it was common for them to lose track of time.
If not reminded, Shen Yanming really wouldn't have noticed that Bi Qiaoan's period hadn't started this month.
Seeing the old man's stern expression, Shen Yanming didn't dare to consider the possibility of a baby. His voice trembled as he asked, "What illness does my wife have?"
