A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Upon hearing the words "Little Sheep Village," Zhou Ruo unconsciously tightened her grip on Zhao Jinzhong's neck.

Zhou Ruo leaned on Zhao Jinzhong's shoulder and didn't say another word until they returned to the general's mansion.

Zhao Jinzhong escorted Zhou Ruo back to Lanxiang Courtyard. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Zhou Ruo grabbed him, holding a lemon in her hand.

"Brother, Little Sheep Village... lemonade, and that spirit worm can't move."

Zhao Jinzhong paused, turned back to look at Zhou Ruo, his eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Ruo Ruo, you have a solution?"

Although Zhou Ruo was very scared these past few days, she never gave up on the people of Little Sheep Village.

In her previous life, when Zhou Ruo was afraid of spirit insects and hid away, her master would spray the spirit insects with the juice of sour jujubes.

The spirit insects that come into contact with the jujube juice will soon lose consciousness, and then the master will eliminate the immobilized spirit insects.

Zhou Ruo nodded with a smile, a smile that conveyed a sense of relief.

Zhao Jinzhong thought that Cao Lin had given Zhou Ruo five baskets of lemons before, so he could send two or three baskets to Little Sheep Village first.

Let the villagers drink some lemon water to alleviate their symptoms.

He walked to the Lanxiangyuan storeroom, opened it, and found that there were less than half a basket of lemons left out of the five baskets!

Zhao Jinzhong was stunned. These lemons were all for Zhou Ruo; no one else would take them.

Besides, most people wouldn't eat this stuff on its own.

So, all those lemons that disappeared were eaten by Zhou Ruo alone?

Can such a small body digest so many lemons?

Zhao Jinzhong couldn't understand it, but he respected it for the time being.

Zhou Ruo didn't sleep a wink all night. She's so young and already suffering from insomnia. The Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with sleep deprivation) is really too cruel!

The next morning, Zhou Ruo appeared at Wude Academy with dark circles under her eyes.

Zhao Jinzhong also didn't sleep well all night. He kept thinking about where to get so many lemons.

If the insects in the reservoir haven't been eliminated, does that mean we need to divert clean water to Little Sheep Village?

Although there are no other villages near Little Sheep Village, there will inevitably be other people and other creatures who drink the river water.

What about these "other" ones?

Zhao Jinzhong thought about it until late at night and finally came up with a solution: first, he would go to Cao Lin and transport lots of lemons to Little Sheep Village.

When Cao Lin brought lemons last time, he mentioned that there were many lemon trees planted in their village.

First, let the villagers drink lemon water to control the spirit insects in their bodies.

However, when Zhao Jinzhong felt that his idea was logically sound and told Zhou Ruo about it...

Zhou Ruo held up her little index finger and waved it in front of his eyes, rejecting his proposal.

Zhao Jinzhong had been thinking of a solution all night, but Zhou Ruo rejected it. He felt a little disappointed, but also wondered what method Zhou Ruo could use.

"Isn't it said that lemon water can disable venomous insects?"

Zhou Ru patted her tummy and said, "Yeah! The lemon is right here on me!"

It took Zhao Jinzhong a while to realize what was happening.

But he was shocked by his discovery.

"Ruoruo, you didn't actually eat all those baskets of lemons and then use them to provide 'lemonade,' did you?"

Zhou Ruo gave him two thumbs up, "As expected of my brother, so smart! Just as smart as me!"

Zhao Jinzhong: "..."

"But how can your body handle eating like this?" Zhao Jinzhong's eyes were full of worry.

Zhou Ruo patted her chest, "Don't worry, brother! I know what I'm doing!"

Eating lemons like this is something no mortal body can withstand.

However, Zhou Ruo used his spiritual power to contain the lemons and spent several days refining the lemons he ate into a sour state.

These acidic gases and cinnabar gases interact to produce unexpected power.

Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo boarded the carriage to Xiaoyang Village.

He was worried about not having enough manpower, so he specially arranged for more than twenty guards to follow him.

Zhou Ruo sat in the carriage, yawned several times, and then fell asleep because she was so sleepy.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped west of Xiaoyang Village, about a mile from the reservoir.

Zhou Ruo woke up with a start as the carriage approached Little Sheep Village.

She sensed a large number of spirit insects in the village reservoir, and goosebumps instantly rose all over her body.

"Brother, hug me!" Zhou Ruo threw herself into Zhao Jinzhong's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably again.

When Zhao Jinzhong held Zhou Ruo's trembling little body, he felt as if a piece of his heart was empty.

He suddenly regretted it.

Zhou Ruohui is skilled in medicine and is the only one who can save the villagers, but she is also a child who is not even five years old!

If she's so afraid of those spirit insects, why force her to face and deal with them?

Zhao Jinzhong wondered if he had made a mistake. Should he have been so insistent on guiding Zhou Ruo to save the villagers?

After all, everyone has their own destiny.

"Ruoruo, if you're really scared, then we'll give up on treatment and go back."

Zhou Ruo suddenly stopped crying, looked up at Zhao Jinzhong, her face a mixture of snot and tears, her tearful eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"Huh? Go back? You're not going to treat me?"

Zhao Jinzhong said firmly, "Yes, I won't treat it."

"It won't work, will it?" Zhou Ruo wiped away her tears, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I'm terrified of those bugs, but I can wipe them out. I won't die, but the villagers will... and..."

Zhou Ruo left Zhao Jinzhong's embrace, slowly sat up straight, and said, "Besides, healing the villagers will also increase my spiritual power..."

Zhao Jinzhong: "?"

Zhou Ruo glanced in the direction of the small river and said, "Well... since we're already here, let's get it treated..."

Zhao Jinzhong: "...?"

Zhou Ruo waved her hands, using her spiritual power to create a protective shield for herself.

At the same time, he silently chanted in his heart: "You bugs! I'm not afraid of you! I will represent the people and wipe you out!"

It was called a protective shield, but it didn't really serve any purpose of self-defense, since those spirit insects couldn't harm Zhou Ruo.

But with this protective shield, Zhou Ruo felt a greater sense of security.

Zhou Ruo pulled Zhao Jinzhong off the carriage.

The group headed straight for the reservoir.

Zhou Ruo held Zhao Jinzhong's hand tightly the whole way, and the closer they got to the reservoir, the tighter Zhao Jinzhong's grip became.

Shivering, Zhou Ruo finally reached the edge of the reservoir and peered into the water.

"Master, save me!" Zhou Ruo cried out and suddenly jumped onto Zhao Jinzhong.

This shout made Zhou Ruo feel as if she had returned to her previous life for a moment.

In her previous life, when Zhou Ruo faced the spirit insects, she also clung tightly to her master and refused to let go.

Her master would gently pat her back to comfort her, saying, "Ruo'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

At that moment, Zhao Jinzhong was also patting Zhou Ruo's back to comfort her.

Zhou Ruo came to her senses and whispered, "Ruo'er is not afraid, Ruo'er is not afraid."

She stood by the reservoir again, closed her eyes, and forced herself not to think about what those spirit insects looked like.

Instead, they focused their attention on the circulation of spiritual energy.

She gathered the elixir's energy, mixed with acidity, in her palm and then struck the reservoir with it.

The force of the impact sent her staggering back several steps, but Zhao Jinzhong quickly steadied her.

The insects in the reservoir were trapped by this energy, instantly losing their strength and becoming unable to move.
