The backyard was still brightly lit, and Su Ruyi was momentarily dazzled when she entered from the darkness.
When she stood still in the backyard and looked closely, she realized that the room that caught her eye was the one where the box that had fallen off Su Zhenzhu was kept.
Golden light shone through the window, glittering.
This is the root cause of the anomaly!
She pushed open the door with suspicion and went inside, only to find that the light source was the mysterious box.
With a thought, the box lid opened.
In an instant, golden light filled the entire room, and then gradually faded away.
Su Ruyi tried placing her hand on it and turning a page.
It can be opened now!
She held her breath and looked at the first page of the book. There was only one line of text—
"On the 19th day of the fifth month of the year Yimao, one out of every hundred villagers was saved by acupuncture."
May 19th, Year of Yimao?
This year is the year of Yi Mao, and the date in the lunar calendar is the 19th day of the fifth month.
She roughly translated the sentence in her mind: "On June 27, 1974, acupuncture saved the lives of 101 villagers."
The font in the book is a very elegant small regular script, neat and orderly.
What kind of book is this?
She had no idea that Su Yin had found this book in his previous life, and that he had built his wealth empire using the ten prescriptions inside.
Therefore, she had no idea what the book contained, as it was completely different from her previous life.
Actually, this is a book of merits.
A merit book exclusively for Su Ruyi.
In her previous life, due to a twist of fate, she did not obtain this Book of Merit, and Su Yin, who did obtain it, could not see its true contents, but only the illusions it displayed.
Even if it's an illusion, it's an opportunity that's hard for ordinary people to find.
Su Ruyi turned the pages one by one, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
This is a book that is about seventy or eighty pages long.
However, apart from the first line on the first page, all the other pages were blank!
Su Ruyi turned to the last page and finally found another line of text—
"Now that this book is finished, you may return home!"
Su Ruyi read the line of text several times, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Because it means—"When this book is filled with words, you can return to your original world!"
The original world...
Su Ruyi felt that some memories were as if they were seen through a thin veil, appearing and disappearing, but she could never reach them.
When this book is filled with words...
The first line records her deeds of healing and saving lives.
Before she rescued the villagers, she had also saved Su Tong, Zhong Misu, Shen Guoliang, and Wang Youliang.
However, she didn't know that Su Tong and Zhong Misu were not considered valid because they were related to her.
Shen Guoliang's illness has not yet been cured, so he was not included in the statistics.
Wang Youliang's merit has been incorporated into today's meritorious deed.
Su Ruyi was still frowning as she tried to recall—if she remembered correctly, she had saved 14 villagers, not 101…
Of course, she didn't know that if those 14 people died, the total number of people whose fates were drastically altered would be exactly 101.
The merits are meager, but the standards are very strict.
As she was thinking, Su Ruyi's eyes suddenly lit up!
She finally understood—what was recorded here was merit!
It was her good deed!
Therefore, Zhong Su or Zhong Misu is right. She needs to continuously heal the sick and save people to accumulate merit in order to return to her original world!
However, judging from the font size, this first page alone could hold more than a dozen more entries.
To fill seventy or eighty pages of a book with all that information... she would need to accumulate far too much merit. Could this book ever be filled in her lifetime?
At this moment, Zhong Su's words began to echo in her mind again—"In your five previous lives, you were the Divine Physician Su, and in this life, you will definitely be the Divine Physician Su again..."
Yes, to become a miracle doctor!
Su Ruyi understood—she had to become famous!
Only by becoming a divine healer can she have a steady stream of patients seeking her treatment, allowing her to accumulate more and more merit!
At this moment, the red mole on Su Ruyi's palm burned hot once more.
She opened her palm, and saw that the red mole shimmered with a dazzling golden light, which took a long time to fade.
Su Ruyi was filled with excitement.
Just then, the door to Huichuntang on the first floor was knocked on again; her patient for the day had finally arrived.
Su Ruyi hurried to open the door.
That night, she was busy until late again.
After so many days, the panic she used to feel when facing patients had completely disappeared.
Unbeknownst to her, her eyes were now filled with composure and confidence.
Merit...accumulating merit...she murmured to herself thoughtfully as she took a bath.
The next morning, after administering acupuncture to Shen Guoliang, she made a request.
"What? Your master back home wants you to treat a hundred difficult and complicated cases and then write them down as a medical record book for him?"
Shen Guoliang stroked his chin, grimacing slightly, "Dr. Su, you'd better think this through. If I spread the word for you, you'll be in for a lot of trouble!"
These days, he did not mention Su Ruyi to anyone, and he also gave a stern warning to Jiang Chunlai and all the soldiers who knew about it.
He was afraid of causing trouble for Su Ruyi.
First, if too many people go to visit her, it will affect Su Ruyi's life. Second, he is worried that there may be people with ill intentions among them who might do something to harm Su Ruyi.
Furthermore, some illnesses are truly bizarre, and he wasn't confident that Su Ruyi could cure them.
However, if the master has such requirements for the disciple, then that's a different story...
He stroked the bluish-gray stubble on his chin and began to think seriously.
A moment later, his eyes lit up: "I can actually find you a patient here—the mother of one of my old comrades. I don't know what's wrong, but half a year ago she suddenly became a different person. She stopped moving and talking, and would only open her mouth when food was fed to her. She usually just lay there stiffly. She's seen many doctors, but none of them can figure out what's wrong with her! Can you cure this?"
Su Ruyi listened with a frown, unable to immediately determine the problem. She replied, "I need to see the patient to know if there's any possibility of a cure!"
"Fine! I've already introduced him to four doctors and none of them worked, so one more won't make a difference!" Shen Guoliang blurted out, then realized his mistake, "Dr. Su, that's not what I meant!"
Su Ruyi smiled and said, "I understand. You're worried that I might cause trouble if I don't treat the patient well. You're trying to tell me that this patient won't cause me any trouble, right?"
Shen Guoliang clapped his hands repeatedly: "That's right! Wait here, let me make a call first! Do you have time right now?"
Su Ruyi nodded: "I asked the captain for a day off when I left this morning."
This day is even a holiday with double work points.
Because of the new captain, Su Ruyi specifically asked Ding Youliang for leave before being picked up by Xiao Zhao, the guard, in the morning.
