The city was empty, Ning Rongzhang was missing, and Ji Yuan was seriously injured. She was so distressed that she was numb. Tears fell unconsciously and hit her shirt.

Then she walked out without looking back. Hongye hurriedly followed her, speaking anxiously. Seeing that she was leading the horse, she hurried forward to stop her, "Girl, what are you doing?"

Ji Mengshu turned around and said, "Brother is seriously injured. He will die if he continues like this... I will find a doctor for him."

There was dust on Hongye's face from somewhere, her hair looked a little messy, and her clothes were wrinkled from walking on the road. "Miss, I will go with you."

The horse neighed twice, and Ji Mengshu pulled the reins and rode away. Before leaving, she said, "Take good care of my brother for me."

-

Deep in the forest.

Surrounded by poisonous snakes and insects, the matches were peeling, driving away the snakes and insects that wanted to approach tentatively. A small pot of medicine was placed above the matches. A woman in a simple dress with one or two plain hairpins on her head was concentrating on her work.

The color of the medicine soup has turned black, and it gradually becomes less as it cooks.

The woman took a look at it, without frowning, and poured the medicine into a porcelain bowl after it cooled slightly.

This dense forest was very quiet. In the past, there were only the sounds of insects and birds chirping. She lived here alone, so she became even less talkative.

After being distracted for a moment, the woman in silk clothes brought the bowl of soup into the house. On the roof of the hut, there were two red poisonous snakes hovering, seemingly fighting.

The originally narrow room seemed even more cramped because of the presence of a tall man lying inside.

She leaned over and touched the man's forehead, muttering to herself, "You're lucky." She had picked up this man deep in the woods. He was wearing armor and was covered in blood. The strong smell of blood also attracted many poisonous insects and snakes, which almost devoured him alive. If she hadn't seen that he was still breathing, she would not have bothered to care about him.

She was leaning her chin up and looking at the pale man on the bed when she heard a sound of something wet sliding at the door. If it weren't for her good hearing, ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear it.

A small red-necked snake poked its head over the threshold and looked over. The woman in silk clothes said, "Xiao Wu, go back quickly!"

After he finished speaking, the little red-necked snake turned around and crawled back obediently.

The woman in silk clothes took the bamboo tube and effortlessly fed the man the medicine. Just as she was about to stand up, a strong hand suddenly covered her wrist.

"Let...let go!" She reached out and patted him. The man on the bed did not wake up, but had a superficial consciousness. Perhaps her movements were too big, and she woke him up instead.

"Who are you?" He opened his eyes, but did not loosen his grip. A pair of long eyes looked at him warily, and his body ached.

"Who else could I be? Just look at me carefully, but I saved you!" She was almost in a bad mood. The residents near Li Nan knew how poisonous the dense forest was, but there were also one or two merchants who didn't know. She had saved several people in the past, but none of them had a temper as bad as hers.

The man rolled his eyes slowly, and when he saw a somewhat shabby roof, he loosened his grip and repeated, "You saved me... cough! cough!!"

"Oh - okay, since you are injured, I won't bother with you." After she said that, she stood up and ignored him.

The beautiful sunlight outside set, and the man stood up, feeling waves of pain on his back and chest, but fortunately he could still bear it, so he stood in front of the door step by step. The sun was so scorching that his eyes narrowed slightly.

Qingjun's profile was exposed in the sunlight, it was Ning Rongzhang who had disappeared.

He had quietly looked around. There were herbs drying outside the courtyard, a medicine stove, and insects and snakes that dared not approach. "You are the God of Medicine, right?"

Seeing that he was still somewhat conscious, the woman in silk clothes turned her back to him and said, "Go now. Since you are awake, I will not keep you here."

"Please ask the miracle doctor to come out and treat my brother's injuries. I..." Since Ning Rongzhang saw that she was alone in the dense forest, he thought that she was not the kind of person who could save the world. The promise was nothing but a passing cloud to her.

"Saving you is an opportunity, but I'm afraid I don't have this opportunity with other people." She was flipping through the medicinal herbs outside. It didn't matter to her how many people died outside.

Ning Rongzhang choked and continued, "Miss, you are in this deep mountain forest. Have you ever known that our dynasty fought with Xinrong and the Linan City was almost burned to ashes. The flames shot up to the sky. Countless casualties were caused on both sides of the army and the city was deserted. Could it be that these are also insignificant to you?"

The herbs in her hands had been dried for who knows how many days. They were slightly crispy and gave off a pleasant medicinal aroma. The woman in silk clothes kept moving, "This chaotic world cannot be changed by one's own strength." She turned around and said to the people, "I live in seclusion here because I don't want to get involved in such mundane affairs... I won't keep you here, you can go."

She chased them away several times, but Ning Rongzhang was not discouraged. "Miss, you are in the dense forest, but you are also a citizen of our Dali Dynasty. The soldiers in the army are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight against the new army. Since you are willing to save me, you have good intentions. Why don't you give me acupuncture to save lives?"

There seemed to be a bee buzzing in her ear. The woman in silk clothes tilted her head slightly. She hadn't felt such a noisy sound for a long time.

-

Inside Linan City, the personal guards brought by Ji Mengshu were still checking the people among them. Some of them were still alive, so they carried them into the house and gave them medicine to prolong their lives.

Hongye stood at the city gate, looking at the uninhabited area ahead, feeling very nervous. The girl had been gone for a long time and had not come back until now. Could something dangerous have happened?

But the girl wouldn't let her follow.

Ji Mengshu held the reins. The horse was tired and would occasionally lower its head to nibble on the tender grass. In the vast land, she didn't know where to go.

The woman on the horse sobbed from time to time, and looked up at the sunset from time to time, not knowing which way forward or which way back.

"Miracle doctor."

When the man called her like this for who knows how many hundred times, the woman in silk clothes finally frowned and closed the door, "Goodbye!"

Ning Rongzhang was locked outside and sat down on the edge of the stage. "It's late at night, why doesn't the miracle doctor want to save people? There must be a reason, right? Money, medicine, fame, fortune, I can offer them all, I just ask the young lady to help."

There were several soybean oil lamps lit in the house. The woman in silk clothes snorted coldly and said, "Originally, I would not save the official family. If I hadn't really felt sorry for you dying tragically outside the dense forest, do you think I would have saved you?"

Ning Rongzhang suddenly smiled and said, "The girl is kind-hearted..."

Perhaps she knew what Ning Rongzhang was going to say next, so the woman in silk clothes turned away.
