The wicked doctor was not only loved by the villagers, but also amassed a lot of wealth. He recorded in medical books that the wine-tail flower could cure all diseases, which gained everyone's approval.
When the villagers he had treated relapsed, foaming at the mouth, collapsing to the ground, with dark circles under their eyes, and dying in convulsions, everyone panicked.
The evil doctor was also panicked, not expecting things to turn out this way. Moreover, the flowers he was growing were multiplying very quickly, completely submerging his land, and even absorbing all the other herbs he was growing.
Not only did everyone discover that the quack doctor was unreliable, but some healthy villagers were also infected with the poison of the wine-tail flower, experiencing the same symptoms as before, thus exposing the quack doctor's true intentions.
They were furious at being deceived, so they arrested the evil doctor and forced him to reveal the antidote.
The wicked doctor always believed in his medical skills, but his unfulfilled ambitions were due to his lack of recognition. Suddenly, he couldn't bear the blow and went mad, laughing foolishly all day long, even forgetting the poison of the flowers.
Many villagers died, turning it into a village of death.
Later, a handsome and charismatic doctor passed through the area and, seeing the villagers suffering from illness and misery, stayed. He personally ate the petals of the wine-tail flower to test the medicine on himself. After a month, he finally found the antidote and saved the villagers' lives.
He instructed everyone to burn the wine lees, and the villagers listened to his advice and burned the lees overnight.
They wanted to thank the miracle doctor, but he disappeared into thin air, leading the villagers to believe he was a deity.
Even today, there may still be ancient books that record the existence of the wine-tail flower, but the claim that it can cure all diseases is utter nonsense.
This flower is extinct; it is highly toxic, has little medicinal value, and is easy to propagate, so the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
No one has ever seen this flower before; they have only seen it in ancient books, in records written by a quack doctor from that time.
No one knows better than that wicked doctor how to treat the wine-tail flower. He himself was harmed by the wine-tail flower, so who can be sure that it can be used as medicine?
"Achoo." Qiao Yanzhi sneezed and saw Tang Yaoyao circling a pot of flowers. She asked curiously, "Yao'er, what are you doing?"
Tang Yaoyao turned around: "Mom, this is a potted plant I brought back from outside."
Qiao Yanzhi couldn't help but take a second look: "This flower is a bit strange. It's too bright red. I've never seen a flower with such red petals before. It's making me sneeze."
“Some flowers bloom bright red in an attempt to attract people to them,” Tang Yaoyao said. “But they are actually very poisonous.”
Qiao Yanzhi said, "You're saying this flower is poisonous?"
Tang Yaoyao hadn't figured out the specifics of this flower yet: "If you're not careful, it can be poison; if you're careful, it can be an antidote. That's roughly the idea."
Qiao Yanzhi had never seen Tang Yaoyao with such a serious expression: "Yao'er, where did this flower come from? If it's dangerous, throw it away."
"We can't throw it away from Brother Shi's air base for now; I still need to study it."
Tang Yaoyao was still wondering how the divine doctor had neutralized the poison of the wine-tail flower.
At that time, she was just a fox who happened to witness this, but the divine doctor seemed to have never used any other antidote; the antidote was made from the wine-tail flower itself.
Some people can turn it into poison, and some people can turn it into an antidote.
That's the difference.
Therefore, this flower should not be underestimated.
Qiao Yanzhi asked somewhat unhappily, "You went to see Lao Shi, why didn't he tell me, his mother, when he came back? And you two, why didn't you take me with you when you went to see him?"
“I don’t even know if he’s lost weight or not. I haven’t seen him for a year and a half. Has he forgotten about me, his mother?”
Qiao Yanzhi, who resembled Fu Xitan, said, "No, now that I'm back, I want to see him. What strange and wonderful things did he bring?"
This potted plant made her sneeze several times.
Tang Yaoyao didn't want to lie to Qiao Yanzhi, nor did she want to tell Fu Xitan the specifics, so she took her hand and said, "Mom, Tenth Brother needs to rest."
From the moment they returned, Qiao Yanzhi sensed something was wrong. They left in a hurry and returned with a somber expression, hardly like someone who was happily working: "Tell Mom honestly, is something wrong with your tenth brother? Don't try to lie to me."
She couldn't hide it for long, and she couldn't bear to: "Tenth Brother is sick."
Qiao Yanzhi was taken aback at first and didn't quite react. In their family, Fu Xiqin was the one with the best physical condition. As astronauts, they had regular physical examinations and exercise to ensure safety when going into space. How could he have gotten sick? "How did he get sick? He's never had any serious illnesses in his life."
"About ten days ago, after returning from space, he developed a headache. I didn't dare to bother him and didn't even get a chance to speak to him."
When they arrived, Fu Xitan was in a deep sleep. They heard that he needed to rest for at least twelve hours a day to alleviate his symptoms.
Therefore, he even has difficulty going on missions.
Qiao Yanzhi clenched her hands tightly, a little worried: "Was it from radiation or something?"
She didn't want to visit Fu Xiqin immediately; she didn't want to cause him any trouble.
Perhaps he didn't want her, as his mother, to know, for fear of causing them worry.
So I only told my brothers and sisters.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll figure something out." Tang Yaoyao hugged Qiao Yanzhi, giving her enough confidence.
Qiao Yanzhi patted Tang Yaoyao on the back and said calmly, "I'm not worried. Fu Xitan has always been in good physical condition. He will definitely pull through. I know my son, and I believe in him."
It's rare that she doesn't want other parents to be impatient, because being impatient won't help, so she has to find a solution.
"Madam, someone is here. I saw an aviation department logo." The maid was new and didn't know who it was.
When he walked in, Tang Yaoyao knew he was a very important leader in the aviation department, named Li Tianxiang.
He was the first person to go into space, and many people remember him. He made a great contribution to the country's space exploration.
