Chapter 70 - 70 Explain
70 Explain
The path to Jiangyuan City would definitely be filled with plague. Bai Wutong did not plan to enter the city. After looking at the map, she planned to bypass Jiangyuan City and avoid contact with the large number of infected people and prevent the team from being infected with the mutated virus.
Cui Shiji’s heart skipped a beat when he found out that there was a plague in Jiangyuan City. He looked at the people behind him and was momentarily frightened. What if they were infected?
Cui Shize told Cui Shiji how to prevent the plague based on what Bai Wutong had said.
Cui Shiji looked through the plague prevention measures listed on the list. His hands trembled and he said in surprise, “We must thank Madam Bai well!”
Without this list, it would be impossible to avoid being infected by the plague in the now plague-ridden Jiangyuan City.
Although there was still a possibility of contracting the plague with these anti-epidemic measures, Cui Shiji had already felt more confident. The 30 families of Qinghe who had followed him to the Ling Kingdom would definitely feel much more at ease too.
He thought that this was already very good. Immediately after, Cui Shize took out two more prescriptions and placed them in front of Cui Shiji. “Big Brother, how many herbs do we have left? According to Madam Bai’s prescription, a dose of medicine every morning and night will be able to prevent the plague to the greatest extent.”
Cui Shiji was stunned by this.
Prevent the plague!
Cui Shiji’s face seemed to be questioning whether it was really feasible. Cui Shize nodded firmly and said to his eldest brother, “You have to believe Madam Bai. We contracted the plague previously and were isolated according to Madam’s precautionary measures. After taking some medicine, we recovered. It took only two days!”
Cui Shiji suddenly looked at Cui Shize, and his eyes almost popped out. He said in disbelief, “You guys recovered from the plague in two days?”
Cui Shize nodded. Thinking of how dangerous it was without the medicine at that time and how rude the villagers of the Falling Rain Village were, he had extreme admiration for Bai Wutong and said, “Yes, Madam Bai’s medicine has a miraculous effect. Teacher has already asked for Madam Bai’s permission. He plans to enter the city and hand the prescription to the government of Jiangyuan City so that the government can save the commoners in Jiangyuan City.”
Cui Shiji said excitedly, “Good, good, good! I’ll get someone to prepare the herbs now.” Then he said excitedly, “Madam Bai is our Cui family’s great benefactor!”
He only had one son, Cui Muzhi. He didn’t know it before, but now that he knew, he couldn’t wait to bring his wife to thank Bai Wutong seriously.
Cui Shiji looked towards Bai Wutong’s carriage and suddenly lowered his voice to ask Cui Shize, “Who are Madam Bai and Master Chu exactly?”
Cui Shize thought for a moment and replied mysteriously, “An otherworldly expert and a peerless doctor.”
Cui Shiji’s eyes widened. “A peerless doctor?” Chu Tianbao was powerful and so he could be considered an otherworldy expert.
How could Bai Wutong become a peerless doctor at such a young age?
Cui Shize immediately lowered his voice and looked at Yang Quanzi, who was happily analyzing the blueprint with everyone. He said, “Has Teacher ever lived so well with his thirst-quenching disease after so many years?”
Cui Shiji glanced at Yang Quanzi’s glowing face and shook his head. “No.”
Cui Shize smiled and said, “Madam Bai gave Teacher a medicine called Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pill and Teacher seems to have become decades younger. If this isn’t considered a miracle doctor, what is?”
Cui Shiji thought for a moment. “It’s possible that the prescription was obtained elsewhere.”
Cui Shize said solemnly, “She’s so young, but she can tell at a glance that teacher’s thirst-quenching disease is real. It’s also true that she prescribed the Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pill. Even if the prescription was taught to her by someone else, it was taught to her by her master. This is also her ability. Isn’t the disciple of a peerless famous doctor equivalent to a peerless famous doctor!”
“…” That seemed to make sense.
A peerless doctor, an otherworldly expert, a magical printing technique, a plague prescription… Even the commander of the Dark Guards Team, Qingfeng, was willing to follow her. The more Cui Shiji thought about it, the more he felt that Bai Wutong was hiding something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Are Madam Bai and the others going to Ling Kingdom?”
Cui Shize nodded. Cui Shiji immediately got up and walked in the direction of Bai Wutong. While Bai Wutong was grateful to them for saving Chu Tianbao, he was going to make her agree to go with them. With them taking care of each other along the way, they would definitely be able to gain a lot.
Cui Shiji explained his intentions to Bai Wutong. Bai Wutong glanced at the carriage and nodded in agreement.
If more suicide soldiers and experts came, would Chu Tianbao have to overdraft his internal energy again?
Bai Wutong did not dare to think about the consequences of not having so many people replenishing Chu Tianbao’s internal energy next time.
With Cui Shiji and the others following, even though it was a little troublesome, it was a good choice for their team.
Since Cui Shiji and the others were going to travel together, they had to pay more attention to preventing the plague.
Bai Wutong specially found Village Chief Zhao and taught them how to prevent the plague.
After dealing with the corpses of Duke Ping’s suicide soldiers, everyone from the 30 families of Qinghe drank the medicinal soup. The servants also quickly used cloth to make masks.
It was almost dusk. Bai Wutong and the others’ carriage swayed as they finally found a suitable place to stay.
Chu Tianbao was still unconscious. Bai Wutong touched his forehead. It was still hot, so she placed the heat-reducing patch on his forehead and placed a towel on it to cover it.
After changing three heat-reducing patches, the temperature on Chu Tianbao’s forehead still did not decrease.
Bai Wutong was a little flustered and did not know if she should give him medicine. However, Qingfeng said that this was a normal phenomenon after absorbing internal energy.
Bai Wutong did not understand either, so she could only worry.
Suddenly, Chu Tianbao’s eyelashes fluttered, and his hoarse voice was almost scorching. “Wife ~”
Bai Wutong held his hand and said happily, “You’re awake?”
Chu Tianbao frowned and moaned, “Wife, it’s so hot… It’s so hot…”
Bai Wutong took off the heat-reducing patch and touched it again. His forehead was terrifyingly hot. She felt his pulse again and listened to his heartbeat. Nothing was wrong, but she could not tell what had caused the heat.
Bai Wutong couldn’t tell, so she could only ask Qingfeng for help.
As soon as Qingfeng got into the carriage, she stared at Chu Tianbao from head to toe and said to Bai Wutong meaningfully, “It’s nothing serious.”
His entire body felt like it was on fire, and this was not a big deal. Did all the martial artists cultivate in Supreme Elder’s Eight Trigrams Furnace?
Bai Wutong looked worried. Then, she heard Qingfeng instruct from outside, “No one is to disturb Madam tonight.”
Bai Wutong belatedly glanced at Chu Tianbao.
She looked away in panic, clutching her frightened little heart.
Oh my!
