Chapter 556: The Magical Herb: Wangyou Grass
"This foolish boy!"
Yang Cheng was a bit speechless and said to Kong Lingwen, "I’ll bandage her wound first, then you soak the towel in hot water to wipe her body, and dress her afterward."
"Okay."
Kong Lingwen nodded and poured hot water into the basin.
After a while, Yang Cheng finished re-bandaging Yue Ying and quickly walked out the door.
Da Shan waited at the door, looking a bit shy. When he saw Yang Cheng coming out, he rushed forward to ask, "Brother Cen, when will Yue Ying wake up?"
"You go with me to the mountain to gather herbs, she’ll wake up after drinking the medicine."
Yang Cheng asked Da Shan to lead the way, and the two headed to the nearby mountain for herbs. Meanwhile, he looked around to see if he could find the location of the Purifying Spirit Spring.
If there was a Purifying Spirit Pool nearby, Spiritual Energy should be very abundant, but he couldn’t sense any, confirming the Purifying Spirit Pool wasn’t on this mountain.
Just as the two returned home from the mountain, they saw many people gathered at Da Shan’s house entrance.
Yang Cheng took a glance at the time; it was not yet two o’clock. He said helplessly, "Didn’t we agree on three o’clock? You all came too early."
"We came early to queue, Divine Doctor, don’t mind us, continue with your work."
The middle-aged woman in front smiled happily; she was the one who previously asked Yang Cheng for help.
Yang Cheng nodded slightly towards everyone and went inside to start brewing medicine for Yue Ying.
"This medicine needs to simmer for an hour; take me to see your parents first."
They had been at Da Shan’s house for quite a while, and Da Shan’s parents’ room had been closed without any movement. If he hadn’t sensed the presence of living people inside, he would’ve thought they were gone.
"Brother Cen, you’ve been tired all day, why not take a rest before going?"
Da Shan had long wanted him to diagnose his parents, but with Yue Ying injured, Yang Cheng had been busy, and Da Shan felt embarrassed to ask.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly take me there."
Yang Cheng frowned slightly; he wouldn’t be in such a rush if he hadn’t perceived that the couple’s condition was grave.
Da Shan quickly nodded, walked to the room on the side of the yard, and pushed open the door.
The villagers knew Da Shan’s parents had moved to the west room since they got sick, worried about infecting their son.
Their illness worsened gradually; they barely went outside, and their meals were delivered to the door by Da Shan.
As the door to the west room opened, the crowd curiously peeked inside, only to smell an unpleasant odor.
Da Shan hurriedly opened the doors and windows to let the smell out, feeling embarrassed. He said, "Brother Cen, maybe wait a bit before coming in."
The couple on the bed was pale-faced, with black lips. Upon hearing the noise, they slowly opened their eyes, weakly saying, "Da Shan, why are you here? Go away, don’t catch the sickness."
The old village doctor checked their pulses several times but couldn’t identify the cause. Since both got sick, it was suspected to be infectious, and they were advised to avoid going outside.
"Mom and Dad, there’s a guest at home; his medical skills are excellent and can surely cure you."
Da Shan feared his parents couldn’t hear well, so he spoke loudly.
The villagers watching were surprised to hear Yang Cheng would treat Da Shan’s parents.
If anyone’s illness was strangest in this village, it would definitely be Da Shan’s parents. The once healthy couple suddenly fell ill, getting worse day by day.
"Da Shan, you’re serious? The Divine Doctor will treat your parents?"
The crowd curiously asked, squeezing into the yard to see if this young man could truly cure this mysterious ailment.
"If the Little Divine Doctor can cure Da Shan’s parents, treating our minor illnesses should be simple."
More people crowded the yard, craning their necks to see inside.
Yang Cheng approached the door, the smell inside making him frown.
Since the couple was immobile and Da Shan was often outside working, he couldn’t care for them daily, so they had to relieve themselves indoors.
But the smell wasn’t only from excrement; there was an unusual bitter scent, which he found odd and suggested treating them in a well-ventilated area.
"Da Shan, find some people to move your parents’ bed outside; I’ll treat them in the yard."
Once Yang Cheng spoke, several strong young men came without needing Da Shan’s call.
They worked together to move Da Shan’s parents to the yard; seeing the couple’s appearance, the spectators gasped in shock.
"Oh heavens! How did healthy people become so ill?"
"A few months ago, I saw Da Shan’s mom; she wasn’t this frail."
"They’re only fifty, but look like they’re seventy or eighty; what kind of illness is this?"
Yang Cheng went over, observed them for a moment, and touched their throats.
Upon hearing the Little Divine Doctor would treat Da Shan’s parents, even healthy villagers gathered for the spectacle, all eyes fixed on Yang Cheng.
"Does the Divine Doctor just need to feel with his hands to determine the illness?"
A young man beside asked, puzzled.
"Shush... don’t speak. Brother Cen is a Divine Doctor; we’re not doctors and wouldn’t understand."
Da Shan firmly believed in Yang Cheng’s medical skills. If Yang Cheng couldn’t heal them, sending them to the hospital would be pointless.
Doctors from the city are different; their diagnostic techniques are so unique.
At this moment, Yang Cheng was using True Qi to assess their condition and scanning their bodies with X-ray Vision, revealing black-red patches in their stomachs, with severe damage in their esophagus and intestines.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "They aren’t sick; they’re poisoned."
"What?"
Da Shan was astounded, never imagining his parents were poisoned.
"Little Divine Doctor, that’s impossible; how could they be poisoned?"
"Was it something they ate? If so, why is Da Shan fine?"
Everyone wore puzzled expressions.
They didn’t disbelieve Yang Cheng but found it difficult to accept the poisoning result. Previously, the old village doctor suspected an infectious disease.
Yang Cheng didn’t explain immediately, instead taking out Silver Needles and quickly applying them to the couple.
Seeing this, the crowd quieted down, watching his nimble fingers and swift needle work, exclaiming in awe.
"Da Shan, hand me the basket."
As Yang Cheng requested, Da Shan promptly handed over the basket.
Yang Cheng rummaged inside and found two small Forgetting Worry Herbs.
These were herbs he collected casually on the mountain; Hu Zi previously encountered danger because they went to the deep mountains for Forgetting Worry Herbs.
Yang Cheng’s search for Hidden Cloud Village relied on the Ghost Doctor’s Tome identifying Forgetting Worry Herbs, which helped determine Hidden Cloud Village’s general location.
Forgetting Worry Herb is a unique medicinal plant that relieves pain, stops bleeding, and reduces inflammation, commonly used for external injuries. But if ingested by an uninjured person, it causes euphoric sensations.
