Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Chapter 196 Searching for Snake Scale Grass

The voice of General Nguyen Licha burst out from the crowd. After a short while, the Vipers and quickly retreated and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Then, a strong man wearing a bamboo hat, over two meters tall, with his eyes covered by the hat appeared and walked silently into the depths of the valley.

Nguyen Van Cha hesitated, then immediately followed.

After entering the valley, a cold air made people shudder. As they moved forward, the valley was like hell, with many human skulls and skeletons scattered around.

In the valley, there was a middle-aged man with unkempt appearance, messy long hair and a gloomy face, who was cooking a pot of dark soup.

If you look closely, you will see something that looks like a child's arm in the stew.

The man took a bite, grinned and declared it delicious.

The Jiaozhi soldiers present could not help but feel nauseous when they saw this horrific scene.

The sloppy man turned to Nguyen Van Cha and asked what was going on with a strange smile on his face.

Nguyen Van Cha almost asked the omnipotent Cha Zan for help to improve Jiaozhi's unfavorable situation in the war.

Chazan laughed heartily upon hearing the request, and seemed not to care about the war.

But Nguyen Van Cha promised that if Cha Zan could help, they would be willing to fulfill any of his wishes.

Chazan demanded one hundred babies as a condition.

Nguyen Van Cha was hesitant, but Cha Zan immediately made a cold threat, making Nguyen Van Cha realize that he needed Cha Zan's help.

After a conversation, Chazan forced Nguyen Van Cha to swallow a small insect, claiming that it was not only harmless but would also increase his strength.

Nguyen Van Cha was horrified at this time, but at the same time realized the danger of dealing with Cha Zan.

Chazan then gives a hint and a snake with golden eyes appears and wraps itself around Chazan's arm, leaving marks on Chazan's hand with its fangs.

Overall, the story revolves around Jiaozhi's plight during the war, as Nguyen Van Cha seeks help from a powerful but somewhat corrupt master, Chazan, and in the process experiences Chazan's disturbing and dangerous abilities.

In this version, some adjustments have been made to the plot and characters, but the original story structure and important plots have been retained.

Instead of running away, Chazan seemed to enjoy being bitten by the golden cobra.

"Just let it pass. Bring the snake to the border of the Seeding Country and it will move on its own."

Chazan said.

"This? Just relying on this snake?"

After hearing this, Ruan Wen was filled with doubts.

"Hehe, it's a crown snake. Just one bite will cause rigidity to spread among people. As long as the skin touches, the rigidity mark will be applied, and then the whole body will become rigid and die after experiencing seven days of extreme pain."

Chazan explained.

"That's true."

When Ruan Wen heard this, he was delighted. If such a weapon really existed, it would be truly extraordinary.

It only takes one soldier from the Sowing Country to get infected, and with their huge numbers, the disease will spread and eventually infect the entire army.

Master Chazan is an expert in black magic, so it is unlikely that anyone else can decipher this kind of black magic except him.

Nguyen Van and his entourage took the crown snake and left.

Late at night, they carefully arrived at the border of the Sowing Country, released the crown snake, and then left quickly.

...

At the border beacon camp, a small group of soldiers were on patrol. Suddenly, one of the soldiers felt pain under his feet, and then a slight itch, but he did not take it seriously. Since coming to this southwestern land, mosquito bites have become commonplace, and they have become accustomed to it.

The next morning, several soldiers on guard began to vomit and have diarrhea, with unbearable pain in their abdomens and frequent groaning.

"Quick, medical officer, someone come quickly."

As soon as the call was made, the soldier himself began to feel unwell.

It seemed as if scales began to grow on their bodies, giving them a disgusting appearance and causing severe itching. However, when they reached out to scratch, the itching seemed to come from deep in their bones.

Soon, the entire battalion of soldiers fell ill.

A team of doctors led by Tong Xiaomei rushed over, and because they thought it might be an infectious disease, the doctors took sufficient protective measures and did not dare to be careless.

But after some examination, the doctors found no clue as to what illness the soldiers were suffering from.

Tong Xiaomei took off her gloves with a wry smile, felt the patient's pulse, and examined the conditions of other patients.

"Xiaomei, don't worry about your life, put on your gloves quickly."

Zhou Xiaoming on the side called out hurriedly.

Tong Xiaomei looked pale and put on her gloves again.

She said to everyone, "Listen to me, this incident is extremely serious. These patients may have been cursed. This kind of black magic can be transmitted through the skin. Snake scales will grow on the body. If the black magic is not resolved after seven days, the patient will die. So we have to isolate the patients immediately."

"Doctor Tong, do you understand what you are talking about? What is black magic? This is modern society, and what you are talking about is superstition."

A middle-aged doctor questioned.

"Doctor Zhang, I am responsible for every word I said. This is indeed a descending spell, and it is a snake descending spell. Now we must isolate the patient and find a good medicine to relieve the descending spell."

Tong Xiaomei said seriously.

"Then tell me, how do you solve it? Do you know how to do it? And it involves black magic."

The middle-aged doctor had a look of disdain on his face. As a western doctor, he disdained traditional Chinese medicine the most.

Nonsense, he didn't believe in any black magic at all. If these things really existed, how could it be possible?

"This is true. It is indeed a black magic."

At this time, a slightly hunched, white-haired old man walked out of the dense forest.

"Who are you, sir?"

The middle-aged doctor quickly questioned the old man.

This is an important military camp. How did an old man get here?

If Chen Mu was present at the time, he would immediately recognize that the old man was the ghost doctor whose medical skills once made countless people in awe.

As his life was coming to an end and he hoped to have a disciple to carry on his legacy, the old man packed his bags and traveled around the world.

However, during an adventure in the southwest, he accidentally discovered a miracle created by nature - a rare red fruit that grew on the edge of a volcano. It was both magical and fascinating.

When the ghost doctor saw the red fruit, he recognized it instantly. Without a second's hesitation, he picked the treasure and swallowed it decisively.

This classic experience made him feel as if he had been reborn and regained his youth.

The peace and stability vanished in the blink of an eye.

The reason for the rekindled hope was that his vow included a clause: he would dedicate himself to alleviating suffering, rather than using his medical skills to cause harm.

Therefore, he has been committed to helping people living in remote areas over the years, and thus has a very high reputation among the people.

This time, I came to the southwest to look for rare animals that could be used as medicine, but I unexpectedly heard about a mysterious "Golden Snake Descent".

, which led him to the location of the field hospital.

But what made him very regretful was that the golden snake he was tracking disappeared here.

What is unexpected is that all the warriors here have been affected by the Golden Snake.

The old man introduced himself: "I am just an old doctor who goes around curing illnesses and saving lives."

He stroked his beard, and at this moment his face spoke of justice and mercy.

"Respected elder, could you please tell us how to relieve them of the suffering caused by the black magic?"

Tong Xiaomei asked hurriedly.

“This is a very dangerous golden snake. The reason why I came here in pursuit of the snake was that I did not expect to see them already troubled by the snake.

If we want to do this, we need to start looking for snake scale grass, but seeing how deeply poisoned these soldiers are, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. We need to try to stabilize their situation first."

The old man answered.

"let me try."

Tong Xiaomei took over the conversation, took out her silver needle, and silently remembered the ghost gate needle that Chen Mu had shown and explained to her before.

She was convinced that she could do it, so she immediately put her skills to use.

As the thirteen silver needles fell quickly and accurately pierced the important acupuncture points of the suffering soldiers, the soldiers who were originally suffering from pain immediately felt relief.

"Ghost Gate Needle? Little girl, do you know Chen Mu?"

The old man saw through the acupuncture technique used by Tong Xiaomei at a glance, and a hint of surprise emerged on his face, because in the inheritance of this mace, apart from himself, Chen Mu was the only known master of it.

"Brother Chen Mu is my teacher, senior, have you heard of him?"

Tong Xiaomei was a little surprised by the old man's words.

“What a coincidence. If I hadn’t met him, my life would have been ruined. I owe him a favor.

Little girl, you've done a great job. Well, in that case, let's stabilize these seriously ill patients first, and then continue to look for the life-saving snake scale grass."

"of course."

Tong Xiaomei immediately agreed with the old man's suggestion. In the face of the current emergency, saving people is the top priority.

The middle-aged doctor was silent at this moment, because the effect of Tong Xiaomei's silver needles was already obvious, and any further rebuttal on his part would only bring humiliation upon himself.

The old man and Tong Xiaomei began to work intensively and orderly, and other medical staff quickly came up to help.

The old man observed Tong Xiaomei's precise acupuncture skills and secretly admired her in his heart. This little girl was extremely talented. She had mastered such advanced medical skills at such a young age. It was a pity that she had already become Chen Mu's disciple. Otherwise, he would even consider taking her as his successor.

After a busy morning, Tong Xiaomei was already sweating profusely. If she had not followed Chen Mu in practicing martial arts every day to strengthen her body, she might have been unable to keep up. But in the end, she successfully stabilized the situation.

"Xiaomei, you've worked hard. Come and have some water."

Zhou Xiaobai handed Tong Xiaomei a glass of water and gave the old man a pot, "Old senior, you should also take a rest and drink some water."

The old man took the kettle with a kind smile on his face.

Soon, lunch time arrived and Zhou Xiaobai once again sent a lunch box to the Ghost Doctor. The Ghost Doctor did not refuse and started eating with the doctors on the battlefield.

After dinner, Tong Xiaomei went with the ghost doctor to look for herbs.

She asked: "Teacher, how should we find snake scale grass?"

The ghost doctor replied, "Didn't your master teach you the basics of collecting herbs? You have to look for them based on their properties and growth characteristics.

Snakes like dark and humid environments. Everything in nature complements each other. Where poisonous snakes live, there are often corresponding antidotes.

Although this golden snake is artificially raised, their habits are not much different."

Then, the ghost doctor pointed out: "Snake scale grass is usually distributed near water sources and in places with little light, like here."
