The 89th Call: Doctor Qin Wan'er

  Shaanxi Medicine King Mountain, a girl with a medicine basket on her back, jumping between cliffs like a monkey, occasionally picking a herb from the cliff and putting it in the basket. This person is actually Qin Wanyan, a descendant of Bian Que's Qin Yue people, who heard that Medicine King Mountain has many spiritual herbs, so she rushed over to pick herbs, lingering here for several months already.

  Qin Wan'er had just dug up a few rare medicinal herbs and was feeling delighted. She returned to the residence in Yao Wang Valley, intending to plant the spiritual grass in the medicine garden. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside and looked up to see her distant nephew rushing over, saying: "Wan'er, what's going on?"

  Qin Hui Zhi was a teacher, and the Qin family was worried that Qin Wan Er, being a young girl, would encounter difficulties while traveling outside, so they sent him to follow her. Although Qin Hui Zhi was Qin Wan Er's nephew, their ages were similar, and upon hearing her inquiry, he hastily said: "Auntie, something big has happened! I heard news in the county that Wu Guo Shi is currently searching for you everywhere!"

  Qin Wan'er was stunned for a moment, covering her mouth and laughing: "Alright, he wants to catch me, I'll just go see him then."

  "Whatever is Aunt saying? That Wu Guo Shi is a lecher, he has 88 concubines just for practicing the evil art of absorbing yin to supplement yang! If Aunt falls into his hands, she will definitely be at a disadvantage!"

  Qin Wan'er chuckled and said, "The technique of 'caibu' is not an evil art, but a classic of my medical family. It's recorded in the 'Huangdi Neijing' and 'Suwenjing'. What Wu Guoshi practices can't compare to the depth of my skills. If he dares to force me, I'll have to use 'caibu' on him!"

  Qin Hui muttered: "After all, it's a loss. Auntie's reputation is ruined in his hands... How can she marry someone in the future..."

  Qin Wan'er didn't care about these things, and was determined to go see if Wu Song's practice was the medical technique of "cai bu", so she immediately left Yao Wang Shan and arrived at the county town of Yao County, directly finding the government office and saying: "I am Qin Wan'er, the one your national teacher is looking for."

  The county official did not dare to slack off and immediately ordered someone to quickly report to the prefecture. That night, two yamen runners arrived from Xi'an. Qin Wan'er looked at the men who had come and saw that they were two jailers carrying iron chains on their backs. When they saw Qin Wan'er, they were overjoyed and said: "Dà Niú and èr Niú pay their respects to the young lady!"

  The two men asked Qin Wan'er and Qin Hui to board two wooden kites, and they also boarded two, heading towards Shandong overnight.

  Qin Wan'er looked at the wooden kite and chuckled: "So it was Gong Sun's sister thinking of me, not Wu Guo's teacher wanting to take advantage of me."

  Qin Hui said in a low voice: "It's unbearable for Gongshu to resist the bandits' plunder, please go and share the burden, this is what people worry about..."

  Qin Wan'er ignored his petty heart, and the four of them didn't arrive in Qingzhou until the evening of the second day. As soon as they got off the wooden kite, they saw Gong Shu Yanran and a man with an extremely powerful aura coming to greet them. Qin Wan'er didn't go to catch up with Gong Shu Yanran first, but instead sized up the man and praised him, saying: "What a fine man, it's a pity he's not a young boy."

  Wu Song listened and was perplexed, starting to suspect the woman's eyesight: "I'm clearly a virgin, but she says I'm not a child, is this chick fake?"

  Gong Sun Yaner pulled Qin Wan'er's hand, chattering and reminiscing about old times. The two girls whispered to each other for a long time. Wu Song overheard Qin Wan'er asking Gong Sun Yaner: "Good sister, how are you still a virgin? Wu Zhi's reputation is so bad, why didn't he touch you? I know, it must be because you used the mechanical beast to beat him up, right?"

  Gong Shu's face turned red, she spat out a mouthful of words and told Qin Wan'er about Chen Liqing's situation. Qin Wan'er immediately wiped the smile off her face and said seriously: "Since there is a patient, let's go see them first, other matters can be discussed later."

  Wu Song hastily invited her to Chen Lijin's room, Qin Wanyi took a look and saw that Chen Lijin had no skin or flesh on one hand and one foot, only the skeleton was connected, and she was unconscious. She couldn't help but exclaim: "How cruel! Who could have injured her so badly?"

  Wu Song and Gong Sunlian exchanged a glance, and told the story of Chen Liqing cutting flesh to repay her father. Qin Wan'er praised: "She's really an extraordinary woman, worth my rescue. Fortunately, I found out early, if I came a few hours later, these hands and feet would not have been saved!"

  Wu Song couldn't help but feel both shocked and delighted, saying: "Can her hands and feet be restored?"

  Qin Wan'er said in surprise: "If it's not to restore her limbs, why did you ask me to come? If it's just to keep her from dying, you can just invite any doctor."

  The girl's heart was filled with joy and she said: "If you can cure her hands and feet, no matter what you ask for, Wu will grant it to you!"

  Qin Wan'er's eyes lit up and she said with joy: "Really? Why don't we study the art of nourishing and supplementing together, what do you say?"

  Wu Song was stunned, Gong Xuan covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing, Qin Wan'er glared at her fiercely and casually wrote a prescription, saying: "First select a large wooden barrel, boil the medicine water, put the patient in it, this way can protect her vitality from dispersing, bones from dying, after finding the good medicine later, it will be convenient to rescue and treat."

  Wu Song hastily ordered someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription, saying: "What other medicines are needed? If they can't be found locally, go buy them in the capital. If they can't be found in the capital, search for them nationwide!"

  Qin Wan'er smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, this medicine is just to ensure that her skeleton is fine, the most important thing is yet to come. To make her muscles regenerate, lively and energetic like before, two things are needed. These two things cannot be bought with money."

  Qin Wan'er raised her finger and said, "The first is the blood of Xian, and the second is the crystal horn of a tiger carp. With these two things, not only can you regenerate your limbs, but your body will be even better than before."

  Wu Song looked at Gong Shubao, and Gong also shook his head. Can Xian and Hu Yujiao had never even heard of it, nor did they know where to go to get it.

  Qin Wan'er smiled and said, "I know the origin of these two things, they are in the Golden Mountain of Juye, Shandong. To capture these two little things, we can't have too many people, or we will scare away the Xian. We only need two or three people. I must go, another one is Guoshi, and there is one more person..."

  "I'll go too!" Gong Xuan hastily said.

  Wu Song shook his head and said, "You must stay here to prevent Chen Huijian from returning with reinforcements. If Chen Huijian launches a surprise attack, Lu Junyi and Zhang Qing alone will not be able to defend Qingzhou."

  Gong Shu Yanran had no choice but to pull him aside and whispered, "You're with Qin Wanyan now, you must be careful. You don't know the art of seduction, but she's an expert!"

  Wu Song laughed and said: "She's just a young girl, how can she take advantage of me, a big man?"

  Gong Shu Yan rolled her eyes at him and muttered: "You're not like you've never been taken advantage of before..."

  Qin Wan'er sneered continuously on the side, pouting her mouth and saying: "So petty!"

  Gong Shu's face turned red as she said to Qin Wan'er with a hypocritical tone: "Sister, you're not married yet, and you're still living alone? Why don't I introduce you to a good man? In the Tianji Pavilion, among the martial artists, Yan Qing is the most outstanding. Among the strategists, there are also many handsome men..."

  "Petty!"

  ……

  Wu Song helplessly watched the two girls arguing, suddenly saw Qin Wan'er bring a young man with a dignified appearance and elegant demeanor, and hastily asked: "Who is this young brother?"

  "This is my nephew Qin Hui, a useless scholar who used to run a private school at home."

  Qin Hui hastily made a bow and said, "Greetings, National Master. My humble name is Qin Hui, styled Huizhi, who was a successful candidate in the imperial examination last year and is preparing to take the advanced examination next year."

  "Are you Qin Hui?" Wu Song furrowed his brow, carefully sizing him up several times, and saw that Qin Hui was dignified and refined, quite handsome, looking like a well-read scholar at first glance.

  Qin Wan'er said: "My nephew has written a good poem, not inferior to that of Cai Jing. If he doesn't pass the imperial examination, the national teacher will give him an official position, so he won't have to sing every day 'If I get 300 mu of water field, this time I won't be a monkey king.'"

  Qin Hui's face turned red as he stuttered: "A gentleman in poverty does not eat food that comes from a sigh, does not eat food that comes from a sigh!"

  "Shut up!" Qin Wan'er glared at him and said to Wu Song, "Let's go, Jinshan is near Yuan Cheng."

  Wu Song and Qin Wan'er rode a wooden kite, flying to Jinshan, the parrot stood on Wu Song's shoulder, shaking the bell on its neck.

  When the sun sets, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there were several farmhouses. The two of them pretended to be a couple and stayed in one of the farmhouses, asking if there were any tiger pufferfish and ginseng in the mountains.

  The host's family was an old lady, a noblewoman appointed by the imperial court, called Lady Tang. Her husband was Tang Tianzhu, the commander of the Dragon and Horse Camp, and her son was Tang Meng. However, Tang Meng had also joined Chen Xizhen and became one of his tiger generals.

  Wu Song heard that she was actually the mother of the rebel, and couldn't help but want to capture her and take her to Qingzhou, so that Tang Meng would surrender. Several times he wanted to take action, but was stopped by Qin Yuanni.

  The woman, unaware of the fierce man in front of her, smiled and said: "There are indeed tigers and fish in the mountains, living deep in the pool for over 300 years. Now they can actually climb ashore to eat people. The few old tigers in the mountain have been eaten by it. Even ferocious beasts like bears have also been eaten by it."

  When the tiger shark was playing in the deep pool, many people saw a doll standing on its head, and no one knew what kind of monster it was. Later, a Xu Gongfu came from the mountain, who was a high-ranking Taoist with great magical powers. He said: 'That doll is actually a Xian (Immortal)! If you can learn the secret method of the medical family, eating it will make you live forever and immediately become a Lu Xing Xian (Land Traveling Immortal)!'

  Xu Mengfu came to guard for three years, but he couldn't catch the Xian either. That kid was very clever and would disappear into thin air whenever things didn't look good. Later, the local hunters became obsessed with catching it and went to the mountains to hunt it down, only to be eaten by tigers and fish until not even a single bone was left! Are you two also here to catch the Xian? I advise you to go back...

  That woman chattered on for half a day. Qin Wan'er smiled and said, "Two little things, how can they eat us?"

  Wu Song thought it would be better to be cautious and said: "Gong Sun, how big is that tiger puffer fish?"

  "It was about fifty or sixty feet long and short, with its head exposed above the water's surface, resembling a small green boat."

  Wu Song glanced at Qin Wan'er and said, "Little thing?"

  Qin Wan'er felt a bit guilty and muttered: "It's not very big anyway, only about 50 or 60 feet. Besides, the Participating Immortal is very small, only one foot tall..."

  Wu Song was so angry that he almost died, saying: "Five or six zhang is still a small thing, what is a big thing?"

  I'm going to sleep.

  Qin Wan'er slipped into the room and poked her head out, giggling: "Husband, let's go to bed together and practice our skills tonight!"

  "Sleep with a big-headed ghost!" Wu Song said irritably, "Tomorrow I'm going to have a great battle with the five or six zhang 'little thing', I need to conserve my energy and don't have time to go to bed with you!"

  Qin Wan'er stuck out her tongue and went back to sleep. Tang Gongren gave Wu Song a thumbs up, saying: "You're a good man, you've really got it! You can rival my late husband! My late husband had to conserve his energy for battle, so he didn't touch me for a whole year. I thought he was a hero, but later I heard that he kept a concubine outside...

  Tang Gongzi was about to nag again, Wu Song hastily said: "Gongzi should go to bed early, I also need to sleep, tomorrow we will dive into the water and kill that tiger pike."

  The woman finally stopped nagging and was supported by the maid back to her room. Wu Song also returned to his room to rest.

  On the second day, Wu Song and Qin Yan'er got up early. They hired a guide in the village. Qin Yan'er treated Wu Song as a porter, letting him carry a bucket of wood shavings and a bucket of five-spirit oil.

  The mountain road is rugged and winding, and it's not easy to arrive at the deep pool in the old forest. There's a waterfall like a silver river hanging down, crashing into the deep pool, and the water is emerald green, with no visible bottom.

  The guide only took the two of them to a place one mile away from the waterfall and refused to go any further. After taking their money, he said: "That place is so terrifying that even I don't dare to go there. Originally, the tiger fish were just in the water, but when they encountered people on the shore, they would jump up to attack them. Now, after living for over 300 years, they have become monsters and can crawl onto the shore to eat humans. No one who has seen them has ever survived!" After saying this, he turned around and ran down the mountain.

  Qin Wan'er sneered and said: "Ignorant people!"

  The two of them walked forward, and from a distance they saw a huge skeleton lingering by the pool, which was the skeleton of a large fish, about six feet long, with scales like those of a tiger or leopard on the outside, densely packed with patterns.

  Wu Song pried open the big fish's mouth with force, stood inside it, and looked up to see rows of sharp teeth like inverted thorns. He furrowed his brow and said, "Is the tiger fish already dead?"

  "Not." Qin Wan'er smiled carelessly, "But it's molting. This kind of demon beast, after molting, will turn into a brocade single-horned golden money leopard. You and I want the crystal horn of this little thing, its medicinal properties are even better than that of the tiger shark!"

  "How big is this 'little thing'?"

  Qin Wan'er was somewhat uncertain and said: "Probably a little bigger than a tiger pufferfish..."
