Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen received the medical book, their hearts filled with gratitude. They deeply understood its invaluable worth and the elder's kind intentions. They bowed deeply to the elder, expressing their heartfelt thanks. After bidding farewell to the townspeople, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, carrying the medical book that embodied hope and trust, embarked on a new journey. They knew that countless people in this vast world awaited their help. The path of medicine was long, but they would never stop, using their medical skills and compassion to bring more hope and warmth to the world.
On a beautiful, sunny day, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen walked together into a lush, verdant forest. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, creating a symphony of nature. They strolled leisurely along the winding paths, enjoying the rare tranquility and beauty.
However, a painful groan abruptly shattered the tranquility. The sound was weak yet filled with agony, like the desperate howl of a wounded beast. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with vigilance and concern, and quickened their pace involuntarily, urgently searching in the direction of the sound.
Beside a hidden thicket, they found the source of the sound—a hunter lay on the ground in agony. His face was ashen, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with pain and despair. Blood flowed freely from his leg, spreading across the ground to form a gruesome pool. The wound was deep enough to expose bone, the stark white bones appearing particularly horrifying against the backdrop of blood.
Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er's heart tightened. Without hesitation, she pulled out the precious medical book from her bag. Her hands trembled slightly as she quickly turned the pages, her eyes revealing anxiety and focus, trying to find a solution within the book. Ye Jiuchen, on the other hand, displayed his calmness and decisiveness. He quickly knelt down, tore several strips of cloth from his sleeve, and skillfully performed simple first aid to stop the hunter's bleeding. His fingers were nimble and strong, every movement filled with professionalism and focus, as if performing a sacred ritual.
"Found it!" Dongfang Wan'er suddenly exclaimed with delight, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Following the medical texts, she quickly searched the surrounding mountains and forests for the necessary herbs. She moved among the grass and trees, carefully identifying each plant, not overlooking any possible clue. Finally, she gathered several herbs, chewed them without hesitation, and then carefully applied them to the hunter's wounds. Ye Jiuchen, meanwhile, used acupuncture to assist in the treatment. Holding silver needles, his eyes were focused and determined. The needles moved like nimble sprites in his hands, accurately piercing the hunter's various acupoints.
Time passed slowly, and with their combined efforts, the hunter's complexion gradually improved. His once deathly pale face regained some color, and his pained expression eased. The hunter slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with gratitude and admiration. He struggled to his feet, picked up his prey from beside him, and wanted to give it to his two saviors. "My two benefactors," the hunter said weakly but with utmost sincerity, "if it weren't for you, I would probably be dead today. Please accept this prey; it's a small token of my appreciation."
Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen exchanged a smile and politely declined the hunter's offer. "It's what we should do. Please take good care of your injuries; we have other things to do," Ye Jiuchen said with a smile. After speaking, the two turned and left, leaving the hunter standing there watching their retreating figures for a long time, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
After bidding farewell to the hunter, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen continued their journey. They walked along the winding mountain path for a long time before finally arriving at a village. However, the village was shrouded in gloom. A pungent medicinal smell permeated the village, and most of the villagers were pale, emaciated, and coughing incessantly. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if they were living in endless darkness.
Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's hearts sank; they knew the village was ravaged by disease. Without hesitation, they quickly devised a detailed treatment plan based on medical texts and the village's specific circumstances. They busied themselves in the village, working day and night to prepare medicine and administer acupuncture. Dongfang Wan'er meticulously prepared herbs for each villager; her hands were blistered from the scalding pot, but she paid no heed, continuing to concentrate on stirring the herbs. Ye Jiuchen tirelessly performed acupuncture on the villagers; his forehead was covered in sweat, and his arms ached from the prolonged needling, but he never stopped.
After many days of effort, the epidemic in the village was finally brought under control. The villagers' conditions gradually improved, and smiles returned to their faces. The villagers were extremely grateful to Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, regarding them as deities. They came to the two of them one after another, offering their most precious food and items to express their gratitude. But Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen simply smiled and refused.
After staying in the village for a while and confirming that the villagers were all out of danger, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen packed their bags and set off again. They knew that there were still many more patients waiting for them in the distance, and many more lives that needed to be saved. The medical book was like a beacon, illuminating their path and guiding them forward on their journey of saving lives.
Since leaving the village ravaged by plague but now restored to peace, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's journey has become increasingly arduous, like stepping into a thorny wilderness. The winding mountain path, like a sleeping giant python, lies before them, every step fraught with hardship and danger. Not only are the roads rugged and difficult to traverse, but they are also frequently battered by severe weather. Howling winds sweep in, threatening to engulf their frail bodies in endless darkness; torrential rain pours down, large raindrops relentlessly pounding against them, blinding them. However, these difficulties do not deter them from their progress. Supporting each other, relying on unwavering faith and tenacious perseverance, they steadily advance through this arduous journey.
