Shen Ruoxi looked at Captain Xu in surprise: "Do you have any clues?"
Captain Xu nodded and said, "I have indeed seen someone with a water drop birthmark on his arm, but I don't know if it's the person the princess is looking for."
"Tell me about it!"
This was the first time Shen Ruoxi had seen hope of lifting her daughter's curse since returning to this world for so many days.
Captain Xu reminisced for a moment. "About three years ago, I was sent to encircle and suppress the northern barbarians' rear camp. On the way, I saved a dying girl. That girl had a teardrop-shaped birthmark on her arm."
"How old is the girl?" Shen Ruoxi subconsciously clenched her fists.
"About eleven or twelve years old..."
The age and gender match!
"So where is she now?"
Captain Xu shook his head. "She only told me she was from the Baiyu tribe. After she recovered from her illness, I sent her back to the Baiyu village. I haven't seen her since."
“White Feather Clan…” Shen Ruoxi felt it sounded familiar.
She suddenly remembered that Doctor Zhou from the clinic had once told her that in this area, only the land of the Baiyu tribe was suitable for growing herbs.
"Princess, please don't think about attacking the Baiyu people. They are not easy to deal with. I heard that no one who rashly intrudes can walk out alive." Captain Xu saw that Shen Ruoxi's eyes were flashing with eagerness to try, and hurriedly advised.
Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. Doctor Zhou had told her the same thing before. What kind of monster is this Baiyu tribe?
However, in order for her daughter to live past the age of eighteen, she had to go through fire and water.
It would be even better if she could convince the Baiyu people to cooperate with her and learn their methods of preventing desertification!
Everyone returned to the barracks, and Captain Xu personally announced that he had lost the bet, and from now on he would only obey Shen Ruoxi.
The news quickly spread in the military camp and then reached the ears of the people in the city. The people were in an uproar and started discussing it fiercely.
"What? The princess actually defeated Captain Xu and actually protected Beiyang Village from the barbarian cavalry? It's over, we all lost the bet."
"What's over? We lost a small amount of money, but we won a princess who is both talented and caring!"
"You're right. I have a feeling that our border town is about to undergo earth-shaking changes! This is the first time I've felt so happy losing money!"
Mrs. Zhou was in high spirits because of the happy event. She walked up to the organizer with a swagger and filled a whole sack with things.
He patted the sack with a smile and met the envious eyes of those around him: "Look, I gave you the opportunity to make money, but none of you cherished it. Now you regret it, right? Let me tell you, our princess is a very capable person!"
"Doctor Zhou, how can you be so sure that the princess will win? Do you have any inside information?"
The people around rushed forward and surrounded Doctor Zhou, talking to each other.
Doctor Zhou glanced at the crowd, raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"There's no gossip, but there is good news. The old problem of back pain among the people in our border town has been cured!"
"What? This is impossible!" The people looked at each other in disbelief.
Doctor Zhou pointed at the crowd and said, "Look, you don't believe what I said again. It was our princess who taught me a set of acupuncture techniques specifically for this disease!"
The people still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"This is an old ailment that has plagued our family for generations. No matter how many doctors have come, they can't cure it. How can a young princess, a girl, possibly have a cure?"
"Yes, treating an illness is like fighting a war. If you don't treat it well, people will die!"
"Doctor Zhou, you are the most trusted doctor in our city. You can't joke with our lives!"
Doctor Zhou was a little unhappy: "You don't believe it, right? Okay, I still say the same thing, don't regret it later!"
"What Doctor Zhou said is true!" The old woman's voice came from the crowd.
"Hey, isn't this Aunt Zeng? I heard she was terminally ill, but now she can walk again?"
Aunt Zeng pushed her son away, walked briskly to Doctor Zhou in the crowd, and pointed at herself.
"See? I can finally stand up straight and walk steadily. This is all thanks to the princess and Doctor Zhou. If it weren't for them, I would be dead!"
The people were shocked. Aunt Zeng was an honest person and would never tell a lie!
This is a living example!
"Doctor Zhou, please take a look at me too. My arm hurts so much that I can't even lift anything!"
"Doctor Zhou, my father has been lying at home for almost a year because of this illness. Can you please take a look at him?"
"Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou..."
Doctor Zhou raised his eyebrows proudly: "Everyone, stop crowding and listen to me!"
The people immediately quieted down.
"As everyone knows, my abilities are limited, and I can't treat everyone. Please give me some time. I'm willing to teach this acupuncture technique to those who are willing to dedicate the rest of their lives to medicine."
"Anyone who is willing to learn can come to my clinic and sign up. If you pass the assessment, you can become my apprentice."
"Not only will I pass on all I've learned throughout my life, I will also help you open branch clinics to solve the great problem of the people in our border towns having difficulty seeing a doctor!"
This is a great thing that not only allows you to learn a skill to make a living, but also benefits the people of the entire city!
"I'll sign up right now!"
"I'm going too!"
"Make way!"
…
Seeing everyone rushing towards his clinic, Doctor Zhou nodded with satisfaction. In this way, the goal given to him by the princess would be achieved in no time!
Within three years, he will ensure that all the people in the border town have access to medical treatment and medicine!
Just as Doctor Zhou was about to leave, he heard the old man's voice coming from not far away.
"Old man, I'm here to exchange my bets. I don't want anything else but wine!"
Doctor Zhou was a little surprised. Although the old man's hair and beard were all gray, he was in good spirits and had an inexplicable air of an immortal.
The most important thing is that this old man has the same vision as him and chose the princess to win!
The old man took the wine, sipped it, and smiled intoxicatedly: "I didn't expect the wine in this border town to have such a unique taste!"
Doctor Zhou looked at the old man with interest for a while, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he quickly trotted forward.
"The old man looks unfamiliar, but is he from out of town?"
"Yes, boy, where is the best wine here?" the old man asked with a smile.
Doctor Zhou scratched his head and said, "I brewed some good wine myself. If you don't mind, why not..."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up instantly: "Where is our home?"
Doctor Zhou: ...You are really not polite at all, it suits his taste!
"Old man, please come this way!"
