The old man's complexion gradually changed; his once sallow face slowly regained its color, and his previously barely perceptible breathing became steady and strong. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise and gratitude. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but his overwhelming emotions choked him up. The surrounding crowd, seeing this, were astonished, and a burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.
As the number of people they treated increased, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen's reputation spread far and wide. Not only did the people of the city praise them highly, but people from surrounding towns also heard of their deeds. Some high-ranking officials and nobles, having heard of their reputation, came seeking their medical help, bringing generous gifts and valuables, hoping to receive priority treatment. However, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen remained unmoved by money; they steadfastly adhered to their original intention, prioritizing the treatment of only the poor and needy.
Their actions provoked the ire of some powerful figures. These individuals, accustomed to a life of luxury and privilege, were naturally furious at being ignored by Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen. They gathered in a dark corner, secretly plotting to seize the remaining spiritual herbs. They dispatched their henchmen to spy on Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen's whereabouts, hoping to find an opportunity to strike.
However, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen had already sensed this. They were well aware of the greed and ruthlessness of these powerful figures, so they acted with even greater caution. They skillfully maneuvered among the henchmen of these powerful individuals, using their wisdom and connections to evade their schemes time and time again.
In the end, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen used all the medicinal herbs to treat the people. The city's inhabitants were deeply grateful and spontaneously organized to protect them. Whenever suspicious individuals appeared, the people would immediately warn Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen, allowing them to be on guard.
In the bustling capital city, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen won the heartfelt love and support of the people through their selfless acts of serving the public and practicing medicine. However, this highly praised achievement, like a blinding light, attracted the jealousy and resentment of some powerful figures. They harbored deep hatred for Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen and did not give up. Instead, they secretly racked their brains to plot one conspiracy after another.
One day, a mysterious figure arrived in the city, claiming to be a wealthy merchant from out of town. He wore a magnificent brocade robe, a priceless jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his every move exuded extravagance. Behind him followed a large group of servants, carrying many exquisite chests. The merchant, beaming, paid a visit to Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen, expressing that he was deeply moved by their charitable deeds and had brought many rare treasures to donate to them in order to help the poor.
Faced with this sudden "kindness," Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen couldn't help but feel suspicious. Knowing the complexities of human nature, they were wary of the wealthy stranger's motives and initially intended to refuse without hesitation. However, when the merchant ordered the boxes to be opened, the dazzling light instantly drew their attention. The boxes were filled with rare treasures: crystal-clear jade, luminous pearls shimmering with an unusual glow, precious spices from exotic lands, and exquisite handicrafts. Any one of these treasures was priceless; they could indeed be exchanged for a considerable amount of food and medicine to help more people struggling in poverty. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hesitation. Ultimately, out of compassion for the people and the consideration of helping more people, they chose to accept.
However, they never imagined that this was all a carefully laid trap by the powerful and wealthy. At night, when the entire mansion was enveloped in silence, the dazzling treasures from the daytime began to emit a strange fragrance. This fragrance, like an invisible thread, permeated the air and slowly seeped into Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen's room. After inhaling the fragrance, the two felt their bodies go limp and powerless, as if all their strength had been drained in an instant. Realizing something was wrong, they tried to struggle to their feet, but found their limbs unresponsive, and even their cries for help became extremely weak.
Just as they were sinking into despair, a cacophony of footsteps shattered the silence of the night. The powerful figures, accompanied by a group of menacing-looking henchmen, appeared triumphantly, torches in hand. The leader, his face contorted with rage, let out a chilling laugh. "Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Today, we'll take these elixirs." With that, he ordered his men to search for the so-called "elixirs," displaying an air of absolute certainty.
Just when they thought everything was under control and they were about to succeed, a large number of people suddenly surged out from all around. It turned out that the people were deeply grateful to Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen, and had been keeping a close eye on their every move. When this mysterious wealthy merchant appeared, the people sensed his suspicious behavior and had been secretly observing him. Tonight, seeing the unusual situation inside the mansion, a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts. Fearing for their benefactors, they grabbed sticks from their homes and rushed out without hesitation.
"You greedy bastards! If you want to harm our benefactor, you'll have to get past us first!" The people shouted angrily, their voices rising together like rolling thunder, echoing through the night sky. Their eyes shone with determination and fearlessness, showing no sign of being intimidated by the powerful figures. The powerful, caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, were thrown into a panic. They had never expected the people to be so united, to be willing to fight against them to protect Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen.
Seeing the people rushing to their aid, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen felt a surge of warmth and hope. They took the opportunity to take the antidote they had prepared beforehand, and after a short while, their strength gradually returned. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with tacit understanding and determination, and then fought alongside the people, together repelling the powerful and their henchmen.
After this battle, the powerful and wealthy finally witnessed the high regard in which Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen were held by the people, and understood that the will of the people could not be deceived. From then on, they dared not harbor any more ill intentions. Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen, on the other hand, continued to uphold the benevolence of doctors, steadfastly walking the path of practicing medicine and helping the world, using their own strength to bring more warmth and hope to the people.
From then on, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen became true miracle doctors in people's hearts. They packed their bags and continued their journey through the world, practicing medicine and helping the needy. Wherever they went, they left behind warmth and hope, and their story was passed down by word of mouth, becoming a legendary tale.
