Chapter 176 The Shocking Duo, Goodbye to Ji Zizhou
After taking the medical book and the scrap paper, Jiang Yuchuan sat down at the empty table next to him.
Spread out the books and lay out the paper.
After only a quick glance at the medical books, Jiang Yuchuan immediately began grinding the ink, dipping his brush, and starting to write.
The two people who were observing Jiang Yuchuan's every move never expected that he would write so quickly and decisively.
Faced with the young man's questioning gaze, the old doctor even wondered if he had picked up the wrong medical book.
But after thinking it over carefully, the old doctor realized that he hadn't taken the wrong one!
The medical book handed to Jiang Yuchuan contained information on intractable diseases that had troubled countless medical texts.
His intention was to deliberately make things difficult for Jiang Yuchuan, hoping to make him give up because he couldn't pass the test.
But Jiang Yuchuan's expression and actions clearly showed that he was confident and in control.
This immediately left him completely bewildered.
Although Jiang Yuchuan's calm expression and flowing handwriting filled the old man and the young man with confusion and curiosity, neither of them went to check beforehand.
And so, after an incense stick had burned out, Jiang Yuchuan finished writing the last character and put down his brush.
At this moment, what was placed on the table was exactly ten pages of draft paper filled with writing.
"Young friend, have you finished writing everything?!"
The old doctor asked, somewhat incredulously.
Jiang Yuchuan nodded and replied with a smile, "I have written down everything I know. Please review it, sir." With that, he stood up and spread out his ten answers one by one in front of the old doctor.
The old doctor immediately lowered his eyes to look at the ten sheets of scrap paper on the table, and was immediately struck by Jiang Yuchuan's beautiful and vigorous handwriting. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"—Excellent calligraphy! Excellent calligraphy! I never imagined that you, young friend, would have such skill in calligraphy at such a young age! It's truly incredible!"
The young man who quietly approached was also nodding in astonishment.
In his opinion, Jiang Yuchuan's calligraphy was not only no less than that of established calligraphers, but was even better.
This made him even more curious about Jiang Yuchuan's answer, and he immediately began to examine it carefully with the old doctor.
The two began reading from the first page of draft paper. Their expressions shifted from serious to puzzled, then from puzzled to thoughtful, and finally from thoughtful to enlightened. After the enlightenment, they revealed deep surprise and shock.
Almost every answer Jiang Yuchuan wrote down was vastly different from what they knew. But after careful consideration, the two discovered that Jiang Yuchuan's new prescriptions and the different treatment steps and plans he listed were far more effective and convenient than anything they had ever known!
Such an answer came from the hand of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and it was written in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn—it's simply astonishing!
If they hadn't witnessed the whole thing with their own eyes, neither of them would have believed it.
"May I ask, young friend, have you seen any of the illnesses described in this book before?"
The old doctor could hardly contain his excitement and asked Jiang Yuchuan in a trembling voice.
Jiang Yuchuan shook his head and said frankly, "I have never seen it before. However, I have treated similar symptoms before."
"I see……"
The old doctor sighed.
Even so, Jiang Yuchuan's talent and knowledge in medicine were enough to shock and even terrify the old doctor.
At such a young age, to possess such superb medical skills is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!
"Perhaps, this person really might find a way to solve the plague?!"
Although the old doctor thought this way, he still couldn't help but regret his decision.
If something were to happen to such a gifted junior in Xichuan Town, he would be a sinner against the medical profession. Even if others did not pursue the matter, he would blame himself to death.
Out of a desire to nurture talent, the old doctor pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made a decision that went against his own principles.
Jiang Yuchuan looked at the old doctor in front of him, whose expression was constantly changing, guessed what the other was thinking, and spoke first:
"Sir, have I passed this test?"
"Passed! Absolutely perfect!"
Before the old doctor could speak, the young man beside him excitedly answered Jiang Yuchuan's question first.
Jiang Yuchuan laughed after hearing this, "Then can I enter Xichuan Town now?"
"since--"
The young man had barely opened his mouth when the old doctor's hand suddenly flew out and tightly covered it.
After covering the young man's mouth, the old doctor gave Jiang Yuchuan an awkward smile: "In that case, young friend, would you like to reconsider?"
Jiang Yuchuan shook his head and said firmly, "I appreciate your kindness, sir, but I absolutely must go to Xichuan Town."
Just as the old doctor was about to speak again to persuade Jiang Yuchuan, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Dr. Gu, as an elder, you should keep your word. Since this young friend has passed the test smoothly, we should not stop him anymore. Let him in."
The old doctor sighed, released his hand from the young man's chest as if all his strength had been drained, and waved his hand.
"Give him the sign. He's already spoken, so I have no right to interfere anymore."
The young man nodded, turned around, took out a bronze token from the cabinet, and handed it to Jiang Yuchuan.
"Please accept this token, young friend. With it, the guards will no longer stop you."
"Thank you."
Jiang Yuchuan took the token, turned around, and left the tent.
After showing his token, Jiang Yuchuan successfully passed through the numerous guards and entered the sealed-off area of Xichuan Town.
Before officially entering Xichuan Town, Jiang Yuchuan turned around and glanced in the direction of the camp behind him. He could clearly sense that a gaze was watching him from there.
The owner of that gaze was none other than the owner of the voice that had just rang out—the Grandmaster-level expert stationed here.
This person had been secretly watching him from the moment he entered the tent, so Jiang Yuchuan was neither surprised nor bothered by the other's spying.
After withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Yuchuan officially stepped into Xichuan Town.
At this moment, Xichuan Town was filled with a desolate and somber atmosphere. The streets were deserted, and not even a single animal could be heard.
Everywhere you look, there are tightly closed doors and windows, white banners hanging outside the doors, and tattered paper money scattered along the roadside.
Jiang Yuchuan walked straight into the town along the road beneath his feet.
After passing through two empty streets, Jiang Yuchuan caught a whiff of medicinal fragrance carried on the wind.
Just then, a figure appeared in Jiang Yuchuan's line of sight.
"why you?"
The visitor was clearly very surprised by Jiang Yuchuan's appearance.
Jiang Yuchuan looked at the man and smiled, "I didn't expect to meet a young lady here."
This person was the woman from Dayong who had passed the test before Jiang Yuchuan at the Linghu Chamber of Commerce.
"You actually remember me?"
Xi Yun looked Jiang Yuchuan up and down with a surprised expression, clearly not expecting that he would still recognize her after so long. Then, as if remembering something, she spoke again:
"You've come at the perfect time! You know Jizizhou, right?"
Jiang Yuchuan nodded. "Of course I recognize him. If you ask this, does that mean Brother Zizhou is here too?"
Xi Yun sneered upon hearing this, "He's not just here; he's completely integrated into the villagers now. Soon he'll be burned to ashes like the villagers who died of illness! Before you came, he talked about you all the time. Now that you're here, come with me to see him. Maybe this will be the last time you two see each other!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Yuchuan's reply, she immediately walked forward.
Jiang Yuchuan then followed in the other person's footsteps, turning left and right before entering a small courtyard.
Xi Yun pushed open the door, but did not go in herself. She said to Jiang Yuchuan, "The person is lying inside. Go and take a look."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As soon as Jiang Yuchuan lifted the curtain and entered the room, he saw Ji Zizhou, who looked weak and pale, lying flat on the bed covered with a thick quilt.
Jiang Yuchuan's entrance startled Ji Zizhou from his deep sleep.
After slowly opening his eyes, Ji Zizhou looked towards the doorway. After seeing who it was, his slightly narrowed eyes slowly widened.
"Brother Jiang?! Am I dreaming? How did you end up here?"
