Yu Baitian said to them earnestly, "With the participation of Dr. He, we will definitely be able to find clues soon."
Yu Xunting agreed, "Dr. He is very knowledgeable. With him, our next work will definitely go more smoothly."
He Hongchi stopped joking and said seriously, "Don't worry, we will definitely complete this mission."
After everything was discussed, everyone went to bed early as they would rush to the valley early the next morning.
Yu Baitian and the Wen family's parents handled the matter of their absence. They claimed that they had gone to a nearby village to treat a seriously ill patient, and Yu Xunting was accompanying them to protect them.
They know about this, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, because there are always spies hiding nearby.
The next day, they got up in the late night and arrived at the valley early while it was dark and no one was around. This time they brought a lot of things, including pots and pans, dry food and grains in addition to spare clothes.
Three people and one monkey, carrying three backpacks, quietly went out under the moonlight in the sky.
After leaving the village and walking on the mountain for more than half an hour, Yu Xunting finally took out the flashlight from his backpack and said, "Divine Doctor, please slow down. We are already at the top of the mountain. No one will see us going up the mountain. We are in no hurry."
He Hongchi wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn't help but feel out of breath after walking such a short distance up the mountain. "How long will it take to walk from here to the valley?"
Wenwen looked at He Hongchi a little worriedly, "Almost two hours."
"Master, why don't we rest for a while before continuing on our journey? There's no rush. It's still very early."
He Hongchi waved his hand, "No need. You really think your master is so useless. He walked the 18,000-mile Long March back then. I don't care about such a short distance. It's just that he's old now, so we can just walk slower."
"Master, you are so amazing. I can only read these from books. I know that people in your generation had a hard life. They had nothing to eat and nothing to wear, and it was extremely difficult. But it seems that you can't be defeated, and you become more courageous as you fight." She really admires the spirit of the old Red Army soldiers.
He Hongchi was very emotional when he mentioned this. "Yes, we became more courageous as we fought, because we knew that if we collapsed, our country would be gone. So many Western powers were eyeing us and wanted to divide our land. No one wanted to be a slave of a conquered nation, so we had to stand up."
Yu Xunting listened quietly to the master and disciple talking about the past, and the journey was not boring at all.
He Hongchi was in high spirits. He said, "Actually, your master has experienced a lot. When I was young, I even went to the Miao area. In order to cure a patient of poison, I found that their land is full of strange things."
Wenwen became interested after hearing this and asked, "Master, are there really poisonous insects in Miaojiang? Do they really raise those strange insects? From what I read in the books, they seem so magical and powerful."
She only knew that in the ancient mysterious world, Gu poison was a terrifying existence. It was a poison made from poisonous insects, herbs and other materials, and was believed to have mysterious powers and deadly toxicity.
I didn’t expect that my master had come into contact with this mysterious Miao poison.
He Hongchi fell into reminiscence and said, "At that time, I was less than 20 years old and had just graduated as an apprentice. I was an old patient of my master, a successful person with a very high status.
He suddenly fell into a coma and vomited and had diarrhea before falling into a coma. My master used acupuncture and detoxification pills on him, but it was useless and he just couldn't wake up.
My master sent me to the Miao area to find a way to remove the poison. After going through untold hardships, I found the place and entered the Miao Gu Village, where there was a miasma swamp forest.
Well, although I was young at the time and had a little talent, my medical skills were not superb, but I was more than capable of dealing with these camphor trees. I didn't expect that the swamp would be the most difficult to deal with. There were actually many poisonous snakes in it. I almost died in the mud."
Wenwen was stunned. "It's so thrilling, just like reading a novel."
Yu Xunting shook his head when he heard this, "Novels can't express that feeling of life and death."
"Have you been to a place like this?" Wenwen looked at him.
He nodded. "There are too many things like this on the Yunnan-Myanmar border. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things."
Wenwen agrees that the Dai people in later generations still like to raise little ghosts.
"Master, did you find a way to cure the poison?"
He Hongchi sighed, "I found it, but unfortunately, the patient died before I could return to Beijing. According to my master, the patient's body was full of worms."
Later it was discovered that the patient's enemy spent a huge amount of money to buy the poison from a wizard, and then bribed one of the patient's servants to poison him.
Wenwen shook her body in disgust. The person who had cast the curse on her was so vicious.
She suddenly remembered, "Master, I heard from the older generation that the schistosomiasis that appeared in 1958 was attributed to witchcraft. Is this true?"
He Hongchi shook his head. "That's ignorant talk. Saying it's witchcraft is an exaggeration. This is a disease caused by parasites. It took our country more than a decade to control it."
"I checked the information. This kind of blood-sucking worm was first discovered in the United States in 1904, and appeared in our country three to five years ago. Is it possible that the Japanese brought their blood-sucking worms here to harm us?" Wenwen was indignant.
He Hongchi and Yu Xunting were stunned. "How do you know it was first discovered in Xiaori Country?"
Wenwen certainly couldn't say that these things were recorded in later generations. "I saw it in a magazine. It should have been reported by a reporter from some country. I haven't seen it since."
He Hongchi sighed, "It's really possible. The Japanese pirates are so despicable, there's nothing they can't do. I remember in 1948, when the war was at a critical moment, tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly became infected. At first they thought it was gastroenteritis, but after repeated examinations by doctors, they confirmed it was schistosomiasis."
All of our doctors worked tirelessly day and night, and finally developed potassium antimony tartrate enteric-coated tablets and quinine antimony hydrochloride, which played a crucial role in treating schistosomiasis.
During those more than ten years, more than 4,000 villages were wiped out due to schistosomiasis. In many places, there were even widow villages, coffin fields, and deserted villages. This shows how tragic the situation was at that time.
Yu Xunting's veins bulged when he heard this. "These damned Japanese pirates, they will be destroyed sooner or later. Not only did they bombard us with artillery fire, they also used biological bombs to harm our people. Is there anything they can't do?"
Wenwen also clenched her fists, "Master, we must unlock the secret of the valley as soon as possible."
He Hongchi strode forward, "Hurry, let's get to the valley before the sun rises. Only if we find the answer sooner can we feel at ease."
