Chapter 1227 I Have Everything You Want
In the pitch-black night, amidst the howling wind, Shen Zheng secretly browsed the system.
Fortunately, the system doesn't make any noise, otherwise Shen Zheng wouldn't know where to send Hua Duo.
Bathed in blue light, Shen Zheng's fingertips slid rapidly across the screen, and virtual medical books scrolled before her eyes.
—"Secret Prescriptions from the Mountains and Fields", 65 points.
—Treatise on Emergency Treatments of External Diseases, 42 points.
—"Complete Collection of Simple and Effective Medical Prescriptions", 40 points.
—Guangji Yanfang, 55 points.
—The Collection of Medicine Kings, 95 points, redemption attempts: 1, only 5 points are needed to redeem again.
Shen Zheng looked at the scrolling text below "The Collection of Medicine Kings" and was deeply moved.
But the Medicine King Collection is too thick; it takes time to read through it, and it's not easy to hide it if you take it home.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zheng added "The Collection of Medicine Kings" to her shortlist and continued to browse through the systematic medical books.
"master?"
Just as Shen Zheng's gaze was fixed on a book titled "Complete Record of Detoxification," Hua Duo's voice came from behind her: "Are you alright?"
Shen Zheng's fingers trembled, and she quickly shook the torch, replying loudly, "I'm fine, don't worry. Keep an eye on the surroundings, don't let anyone see me."
After a moment, Hua Duo's voice came again: "Alright, Master, call me when you're ready."
Shen Zheng casually hummed in agreement and clicked on the cover of "The Complete Record of Detoxification".
The book's synopsis is just a short sentence: "Want an antidote? I have everything you need, spanning ancient and modern times."
Connecting the past and present!
Everything you want is here!
How arrogant!
Shen Zheng was tempted again, but when she looked down at her redemption points, she suddenly calmed down—ninety-six points.
It costs one more point than "The Collection of Medicine Kings".
Although she is now a wealthy woman with more than 8,700 points, it should be noted that nearly 8,000 of those points are still frozen.
In other words... if she exchanges her points for this "Complete Guide to Detoxification," she'll only have a little over six hundred points left...
Shen Zheng fiddled with the torch stick.
Should we switch to "The Collection of Medicine Kings" or "The Complete Record of Detoxification"?
Time waits for no one, so Shen Zheng only gave herself five breaths to think.
Five breaths later, her fingers had already made the decision for her—"The Complete Record of Detoxification".
Exchanging this book would not only solve the immediate problem, but also make Li Shiyuan smile, and incidentally promote the cooperation between Tong'an Medical Clinic and the National Medical Administration. It's a win-win-win situation, so why not?
As her fingertip touched the screen, the numbers on the screen flickered, instantly deducting ninety-six points from Shen Zheng's account. At the same time, a book appeared in her hand.
The book is not thick, only about one-fifth the thickness of the Medicine King Collection.
Using the firelight, Shen Zheng directly found the "Insect Poison - Insect Poisoning" section in the catalog, and followed the page number guide to find the corresponding antidote.
—"Swarming locust poison: The foul toxin congeals in the skin and does not dissipate when heated. Ingestion causes vomiting, diarrhea, delirium, and in severe cases, death. Antidote: 3 qian of garlic, 5 qian of licorice root..."
"garlic?"
Looking at the first two words on the prescription, Shen Zheng couldn't help but ask in confusion.
But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem wrong at all—the idea that garlic kills poison is a widely circulated folk belief.
"Garlic it is then." Looking at the medicinal herbs such as "licorice" after "garlic," Shen Zheng chose to believe in the prescription and silently made a note of it.
"Sister Shen!"
Just as Shen Zheng was silently memorizing the prescription, Yu Nanshu's voice came from not far away: "Sister Shen, where are you?"
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Zheng stuffed the book into her bosom and looked up to call out to Hua Duo.
Hua Duo outside immediately responded, "Miss Yu, over here!"
Immediately afterwards, the rustling sound of fallen leaves being crushed came, and Shen Zheng stepped out of the crevice in the mountain wall.
"Sister Shen, Xin Ji's father is extremely worried and sent us to find you." Yu Nanshu and Cui Jinyin, holding torches and panting heavily, arrived in front of Shen Zheng.
......
When Shen Zheng returned to the burning pit, the air was filled with wailing.
The people of Yanzhou already knew that the locusts had been wiped out.
This should have been a good thing, but for them, it no longer meant much.
They didn't even quite understand.
Why was Yanzhou the one affected by the disaster?
"How was Fuzhou able to retain all its grain?"
even......
"Lord Shen, why couldn't you have gone to Yanzhou sooner? If you had been there, wouldn't everything have been different?"
Faced with these questions, Shen Zheng could only sigh.
Xin Shunyun approached Shen Zheng, his face filled with anticipation: "Lord Shen, do you... remember now?"
Shen Zheng nodded and immediately dictated: "Three qian of garlic, five qian of licorice root..."
"Please wait a moment." Xin Shunyun pulled out a pen and paper from somewhere. "Okay, please say it again."
Shen Zheng repeated it again.
A moment later, Xin Shunyun tucked the prescription into his robes. He glanced at the incinerator and made a difficult decision: "Lord Shen, I must go to Yanzhou myself. I'll leave Fuzhou to you..."
Jiang Zhiming had just arrived when he heard this, and immediately said aggrievedly, "Lord Xin, I'm here too..."
He was completely ignored tonight.
Xin Shunyun was taken aback upon hearing this: "...I'll leave it to you as well."
A seemingly perfunctory remark, yet it made Jiang Zhiming beam with joy.
Just as Xin Shunyun was about to mount his horse, Shen Zheng suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Lord Xin, there is something else I hope you will keep in mind."
Xin Shunyun paused, first turning to order his attendants to count the farmers in Yanzhou, then turning back to ask Shen Zheng, "Lord Shen, what is it?"
“There is something called ‘Spirit Powder’…” Shen Zheng lowered his voice and explained the matter of “Spirit Powder” in a few words. He added, “After I return to my residence, I will continue to investigate this matter. Once the matter in Yanzhou is settled, I hope that Lord Xin can lend a hand.”
Xin Shunyun's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened: "Such a vile and poisonous substance exists? I have never heard of it before! Lord Shen, rest assured, once things have stabilized in Yanzhou, I will personally go to Liuyang Prefecture to discuss this matter with you in detail!"
With Xin Shunyun's promise, Shen Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The support of the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner is far more important than the support of the surrounding Prefects.
As the night breeze began to rise, Xin Shunyun mounted his horse and approached the weeping farmers from Yanzhou: "Come back with me. I will plead your case regarding your escape and will not let the government punish you severely."
Upon hearing this, the farmers hesitated to act.
Some people continued to sob softly, while others slowly rose, their eyes filled with confusion.
Looking at the silent crowd, Shen Zheng finally couldn't bear to speak: "Go back now. I will send someone to negotiate with your Prefect Wei. If nothing unexpected happens, next year... you will also be able to grow high-yield rice."
A simple sentence, yet it resounded like a thunderclap among the crowd.
