Chapter 101: Perhaps No Return
tyard.The kitchen was also stocked with fine ingredients, featuring abalone and sea cucumbers. With a deft flick of her wrist, she gingerly gathered everything from the cabinets, even emptying the pot..."Master Chu, we're about to leave soon. Do you have anything for me"
Ginger stood there with a bewildered expression. If the little fairies in the room had eyes, they'd definitely be rolling them.
Chu Xiaojun raised his eyes to look at the pretty girl in front of him. Even though she was already married, Jiang Wan wasn't very old.
At this moment, Shui Lingling's eyes were filled with confusion, which made Lao Chu feel pity and he couldn't bring himself to say the words that were on his lips.
Ginger: ...
She let out a soft sigh. "Is Elder Chu worried about not having enough Huixin Pills I'll write you a letter when I get there, and have someone send some Huixin Pills back to you."
"No."
Elder Chu shook his head and said directly, "Song girl, I'll just ask you one question."
"Mr. Chu, please speak."
The more polite Jiang Wan was, the more guilty Lao Chu felt. He actually asked a teenage girl to go on such a dangerous mission
That's so inhumane!
Though there are so many people in Kan County, Lao Chu wouldn't give up on even the slightest hope.
So last night he tossed and turned, finally deciding to come to Ginger's door and ask her about it.
“You are skilled in medicine, could you possibly cure smallpox”
"Measles"
Jiang Wan stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "Who caught the plague"
"Answer my question first."
Chu Lao stared straight at Jiang Wan. If an ordinary person were to be looked at like that, their legs would probably turn to jelly and they would say anything.
Ke Jiang was different. She had completed so many missions in her past life, her mental fortitude was extraordinary.
My master had indeed come up with a few recipes, but they lacked practical application.
But my master is a skilled doctor, and I believe the formula he researched can cure smallpox!
Ginger confidently opened her mouth, leaving Old Chu a little dazed. He excitedly stood up.
"Do you really have a way to crack the sky flower"
"I can't say too much, I have to try the master's recipe."
This wasn't Ginger deliberately dragging her feet, but rather those ancient prescriptions were all memorized by her.
Back then, smallpox had already been eradicated, so she had to give it a try.
This statement caused the glimmer in Lao Chu's eyes to gradually fade. "How confident are you"
About nine out of ten.
If ginger noodles don't change color, Chu Lao Gang almost spit out the water in his mouth. His lips trembled.
"How much do you say"
"Nine out of ten."
Ginger sighed helplessly, this old Chu doesn't seem to have a good acceptance ability.
But she didn't know how excited Old Chu was. If it weren't for the fact that men and women shouldn't be too familiar, he would have even wanted to grab Jiang Wan's hand and ask:
"There are people infected with smallpox in An County now. Would you be willing to follow me to An County"
Actually, Lao Chu was uncertain in his heart. After all, for such a dangerous matter, it is estimated that few people would be willing to go.
For example, the sixth prince who intends to hide.
"As a doctor, I naturally want to help the people of An County. However..."
Ginger hesitated for a moment, embarrassedly saying, "But I'm an exile now and can't leave without permission."
Besides, the officials are also waiting to complete their tasks. I can't possibly hold up everyone else because of my own delay.
He's right. Elder Chu felt touched. This child is even more kind than the Sixth Prince. He comforted Jiang Wan and said:
"Child, as long as you are willing to help the people of An County, leave these worries to me to solve."
He then said to Pan Hongyan, who was just as excited beside him, "Go and call the Sixth Prince and the leader of the officials."
"Yes, master."
After Pan Hongyan left, Jiang Wan and Lao Chu chatted idly for a few more moments, of course, all centered around Tianhua.
The more Yue said, the more he trusted Jiang Wan. He wished to bring Jiang Wan to An County immediately.
When the sixth prince and Ren Bang learned that Ginger was going to An County, both of them wore expressions of disapproval.
"Mr. Chu, how could a woman possibly crack the Heavenly Flower!"
The Sixth Prince thought that Old Chu must be crazy to believe the words of this lowly Ginger Wan!
Who doesn't know that she used to never leave the main gate of Kyoto How skilled could a lady confined within her own home possibly be in medicine
Ren Bang also had other concerns, and it was indeed for Jiang Wan's good, "Now everyone is waiting to set off, this trip cannot be delayed."
It's not just because of this personal bias. As someone who saved her life, Ginger is truly concerned for her safety.
Of course, at such a crucial moment, Ginger chose silence. This wasn't a conversation for a small fry like her to participate in.
Anyway, with Elder Chu around, sure enough, Elder Chu was furious. He almost pointed at the Sixth Prince's nose and scolded him.
"It's understandable if you're afraid to go, and no one would blame you. But Ginger is a kindhearted child, and I believe in her." Πb.γ
Chu Lao controlled the anger in his heart and said to Ren Bang, "I will write a letter explaining what happened along the way."
As long as both I and the Sixth Prince sign, those in Manhuang shouldn't dare to make things difficult for you.”
It's obvious that even if they delay their journey and arrive in the wasteland, they won't be blamed.
Furthermore, if ginger really could cure smallpox, he would petition the emperor for clemency for the Song family's crimes.
"This..."
Ren Bang looked at Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan cleverly lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze.
But the sixth prince was about to explode, "Elder Chu, this isn't a small matter, don't joke around."
He wasn't worried about Jiang Wan, but about Old Chu. If Old Chu had something happen to him, it would be a big loss for him.
After he saw things clearly, the sixth prince changed his tune. “Song lady is kind-hearted and willing to help the people of An County.”
I am happy and support your decision.
That's about right.
Chu Lao let out a sigh of relief, but the next words from the Sixth Prince almost made him furious.
“Though the elderly Chu is advanced in age, it’s still safer for him to remain with us. I will send Mrs. Song to An County.”
As soon as Jiang Wan left, he ordered the exiled troops to continue their journey. After all, it was a one-way trip, and there was no need to wait for her return.
"I'm going to Anxian County, nobody can stop me!"
Lao Chu was also a stubborn person. Feeling his anger, Jiang Wan thought of Song Jiubian and the others, her eyes turning as she said:
"Sir, leave this matter to me. Rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you have assigned."
"If you're truly worried, send Master Pan to me. You can see what I do with him."
If Old Master Chu went to An County with her, the Sixth Prince might find ways to bully Song Jiubian and the others.
But if Lao Chu stayed here, for her sake, Lao Chu would also protect them a few points.
Hearing this, Elder Chu fell silent. Facing Jiang Wan's earnest gaze, he sighed:
"Are you really 90% sure"
"Yes!"
Ginger, full of confidence, eventually persuaded Lao Chu to allow Pan Hongyan to escort her. As for those being exiled, they were to wait in place.
When Ginger told the Song family about this news in a low voice, she was met with opposition from everyone.
"No, Wanwan, that's a rash! You can't go."
Song Daniu's lady had witnessed the horror of measles once, when she was just a few years old.
It is said that back then, almost everyone in the entire county was wiped out. The sheer power was terrifying.
Song Jiuli also cried with a gloomy face, "Sister-in-law, don't go, okay Big brother, quickly persuade sister-in-law."m the smallpox pustule.Song Jiubian: ...What is this forSong Jiubian was full of question marks, but Jiang Wan had no time to answer him. She just said, "Don't move."Having said that, she pricked seve...
