Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Mr. Zhang nodded, agreeing with Jiang Xue's words. "Master Xue, Miss Jiang Xue is right. We should find a more humane and effective way to deal with this plague, rather than taking such extreme and cruel measures. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find a solution."

"So, I advise you not to die in vain. With your limited medical skills, can you really cure the plague that no one has been able to cure since ancient times?

“That’s hard to say!

After the conversation just now, Jiang Xue became more determined to give it a try.

"Master Xue, I appreciate your kindness." Jiang Xue said firmly, with a hint of imperceptible warmth in her tone, "But as you said, plague has been an untreatable disease since ancient times. But precisely because of this, it is even more worthy of our exploration and attempts. Behind every 'incurable', there may be secrets and hopes waiting to be discovered. I am willing to be the one to lift the veil."

Master Xue looked at Jiang Xue's eyes that flashed with determination, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved. He knew that not everyone had such determination and courage. So he sighed softly and finally decided to respect Jiang Xue's choice.

"Well, since you are so determined, I won't say anything more." Master Xue said slowly, "But you have to remember that safety always comes first. I will take you to see Doctor Zeng, who is one of the most experienced doctors in town and may be able to provide you with some help. However, you have to be mentally prepared, because even he may not be able to give you a clear answer."

Jiang Xue nodded to show her understanding, her heart was filled with gratitude. She knew that Master Xue's worry was not unnecessary, but it was very rare that he was willing to provide her with such an opportunity.

As the announcement sounded outside the door, Doctor Zeng appeared in front of everyone. He was an old man in his sixties, with a kind and majestic face, and his eyes revealed the depth and sharpness unique to doctors. When he saw Jiang Xue, he showed a bit of curiosity and appreciation, as if he saw the shadow of his youth in her.

"Doctor Zeng, this is Miss Jiang Xue. She intends to go to the epidemic area in the east of the city to find a way to cure the plague." Master Xue introduced to Doctor Zeng.

Doctor Zeng nodded slightly, his eyes stayed on Jiang Xue for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Miss Jiang Xue is courageous, I admire her. However, the plague is serious, you need to be fully prepared. Let me tell you about the situation in the epidemic area and my many years of medical experience, maybe it will be helpful to you."

In the following time, Dr. Zeng had an in-depth communication with Jiang Xue. He described in detail the condition of the epidemic area, the symptoms of the patients, and the treatment methods he had tried. At the same time, he also taught Jiang Xue some basic protection knowledge and first aid skills. During the communication, Jiang Xue felt Dr. Zeng's rigor and dedication, and strengthened her determination to move forward.

Finally, when Doctor Zeng learned that Jiang Xue was about to leave for the epidemic area, he was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly said, "Yesterday I picked up a cat infected with plague on the road in the east of the city. Now the cat has been isolated. If the girl has any ideas, you can try it first."

Jiang Xue couldn't help but sigh that although Mr. Zeng was a doctor specially appointed by the government, he didn't seem to fully agree with some of the government's practices. However, she also understood that Dr. Zeng's medical skills were limited after all.

Hearing this news, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked anxiously: "Where is the cat now?"

Doctor Zeng smiled and replied, "Come with me, girl." After that, he took Jiang Xue to a simple hut.

"I have currently placed this cat in a safe place. Let's go there now." Doctor Zeng said as he turned around and motioned Jiang Xue to follow him.

Jiang Xue heard this, and a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in her eyes. She knew that although this cat was just a small life, it could be the key to solving the mystery of the plague.

After passing through several narrow streets, they came to a simple but clean little house.

When Dr. Zeng opened the door, a faint herbal scent filled his nose. The room was dimly lit, but on a wooden table in the middle were various tools and herbs. It was obvious that this was a temporary place for isolation and treatment.

"The cat is inside." Master Xue pointed to a corner of the room, where a simple small compartment was surrounded by wooden boards and curtains.

Jiang Xue gently lifted the curtain and saw a skinny cat curled up in the corner, its eyes full of fear and helplessness. Its fur was disheveled, and there was still some dried blood and dirt on its body, which showed that it had been struggling and suffering for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, little one." Jiang Xue comforted the cat softly while approaching it carefully. She carefully observed the cat's symptoms and noticed that its eyes were bloodshot, its breathing was rapid, and it made faint groans from time to time.

"This is indeed a symptom of the plague." Jiang Xue judged secretly in her heart, but she did not feel frustrated or afraid. On the contrary, she felt an unprecedented sense of mission and responsibility. She knew that she had to find a way to cure the plague as soon as possible, not only for this poor cat, but also for the people who were suffering from the disease.

Jiang Xue stayed in the house for a whole afternoon. Although she did not find a way to cure the plague, the information she collected was what she needed most urgently.

In fact, after careful observation just now, she had already roughly conceived a prescription in her mind. If she didn't feel that the effect of the medicine was not strong enough and needed to be further enhanced by adding spiritual springs, she would even want to find a patient to try it immediately. "Here are five bottles of alcohol and one hundred masks. Except for Doctor Zeng, no one else is allowed to enter here. I will live here for the next few days." Jiang Xue said.

"But..." Xuan Yuchen looked embarrassed, as if he had some concerns.

"Achen, be good and listen to me." Jiang Xue said gently. Hearing this, several people who knew the true identity of the prince were shocked that this girl actually called the emperor by his name.

"I understand." Xuan Yuchen nodded, then turned to the people around him and ordered: "All of you retreat. No one is allowed to disturb Jiang Teshi these few days." Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"

Only after he left the house did beads of sweat appear on Master Xue's face. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, turned his head and looked at Master Zhang, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness: "Master, did I do something wrong just now?"
