Yu Lian and Xiao Xu took turns driving and finally arrived in Yuncheng before dawn.

"Sister Nian, where should we go first?"

Yu Lian glanced at the three people fast asleep in the back seat and whispered, "Let's go to the pharmacy first. I happen to have the keys with me."

"OK."

After arriving in Rucheng, Xiao Xu drove towards the pharmacy, but the further he drove, the stranger it seemed. There were very few people on the street, whereas usually this time the street would be packed with people.

"Go to the pharmacy first, then you can inquire."

Xiao Xu nodded, thinking to himself that the boss was indeed worthy of his title, knowing even what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the pharmacy.

Yu Lian had just gotten out of the car and was about to open the door when someone rushed over.

"Excuse me, can I see a doctor here?"

Xiao Xu quickly stepped forward and pulled the old man's hand away from his boss.

"Sir, look at the notice on the door. We won't open until the beginning of next month. We haven't found a doctor yet."

Upon hearing this, the old man slumped to the ground, counting on his fingers. After receiving the answer, a single tear rolled down his cheek in despair: "Next month... next month my grandson will die. Please, please help me!"

No one expected that the old man would suddenly change his posture, kneel on the ground, and kowtow heavily.

Xiao Xu pulled the old woman up before she could hurt herself again, and found that the old woman's body was limp.

"Sir, please explain the whole story clearly. If it's truly an emergency, we'll help you. I promise you."

In a short while, He Ningze had taken out a stool from inside.

The group helped the elderly woman sit down on a bench and let her rest for a while.

The old woman was panting, her body trembling slightly.

"I live in Shijia Hutong in the east of the city. Since yesterday and the day before, people in the west of the city have been getting sick. At first, no one was alarmed, but then more and more people got sick, and they were all children, so the neighborhood committee told everyone to be careful. Who knew that when I sent my grandson out to get a bottle of vinegar, he also got infected."

"I quickly separated my daughter-in-law, who is in postpartum confinement, from the baby, but after visiting all the nearby clinics and hospitals and taking medicine for two days, there was no improvement. Today the medicine ran out, but now all the children in the city are seeing doctors, and I, an old woman, can't squeeze in at all... My grandson even vomited blood..."

The old woman broke down in tears at the end.

Yu Lian thought it was serious, but she absolutely couldn't take out the spiritual spring water. The situation was grave; if she let a child live for no reason, thousands upon thousands of people would come, and it was possible that it would cause panic and unrest.

She glanced at the pharmacy, her mind racing. It would obviously take several days to get the medicine from Xiangshi, but the child's symptoms described by the old woman couldn't be delayed.

"Grandma, don't panic, let me think of a way. I didn't open this pharmacy because I know medicine, but don't worry, I will definitely find a doctor today."

The old man knew he was putting others in a difficult position, but the later it got, the more precarious his grandson's life became.

"Auntie! My grandpa can do it!"

Old Jiang looked at his granddaughter in horror, then glared at the little girl he was holding hands with: "Don't talk nonsense, Grandpa is a veterinarian, not a human doctor."

Ya Ya said earnestly, "Grandpa is lying! I saw it with my own eyes! You're the one who saved Erzhu's mother; she vomited a lot of blood!"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, pleading, "Brother, please! Please have some compassion and help me. Don't worry, I will definitely make up for the medical expenses in full, even if I have to sell my possessions."

Old Jiang glared angrily at his meddlesome granddaughter.

"Girl, stand up. How can I talk to you if you don't stand up?"

"Brother, my name is Chen Ermei. May I ask your surname?"

"Just call me Old Jiang. Let me make this clear first, I'm just a country veterinarian with rudimentary skills. I can go with you to see him, but don't get your hopes up too high. And I'll only handle the examination; the medicine is with me..."

Yu Lian spoke up promptly: "Sir, there's plenty at the pharmacy."

Old Man Jiang burst into laughter: "Alright! Then come with me!"

Yu Lian suddenly grabbed the two children: "Grandpa, I won't let the children go."

Old Jiang patted his head: "You young people are so thoughtful, I almost forgot. I'll leave Yaya to you."

Watching Grandpa Jiang walk away with the old woman, Yu Lian asked curiously, "Your grandpa is amazing! Ya Ya, does your grandpa treat patients in the village?"

Ya Ya ate the candy in her mouth, carefully tidying up the candy shells in her hand and putting them into her bag: "No, Auntie, the people in my village say my grandpa is crazy, that he's a quack doctor, and they won't let him treat patients."

"What about just now...?"

"What I just said is true. But what you don't know is that Grandpa forbade Erzhu's mother from telling anyone, and he also forbade me from telling anyone. Hehe, but I couldn't help myself."

Yu Lian chuckled and patted her head: "So smart."

It seems that this old man has encountered something that has caused him to deliberately conceal his strength.

However, being a doctor, he couldn't bear to see suffering.

"Xiao Xu, drive back and investigate first. If the situation is serious, contact the head office immediately and call the research institute to send two professors and a fixed amount of medication to address the symptoms."

"Sister Nian, I'm going right now!"

After Xiao Xu left, Yu Lian closed the door of the pharmacy. She was afraid that she couldn't handle it alone and that her two children, who had just settled down, would suffer an unnecessary disaster.

She had just brought her child back into the yard when someone knocked on the door. It was a steady stream of knocks, so she guessed they must have seen her close the door.

Having no other choice, Yu Lian braced herself and opened the door a crack: "I'm sorry, the pharmacy isn't open yet, and we don't have a doctor."

Upon hearing this, the group cried even harder. Yu Lian looked at the people running around with the child in their arms and realized this wasn't a solution.

"However, if you have a prescription, you can come to me to get the medicine. I'm really sorry."

One of them pulled out a stack of things from his pocket and said, "Could you please grab some of these for me?"

Yu Lian pulled her outstretched hand back.

The woman in front of me is a typical example of someone who is desperate and will try anything, even if her child is perfectly healthy, she'll make sure the food causes problems.

"Sister, you can't let your anxiety harm the child... You need the prescription..."

Just when she didn't know what to do, Old Man Jiang returned.

"Sir, how are you?"

"It's a sure thing."

Seeing the old man's confidence, Yu Lian thought to herself that she had really made the right bet.

"Sir...would you like to see these?"

"Open the door and let them in. No... I need to check the medicine in your shop first."

The old man pushed through the crowd and entered the shop.

Having just sensed a glimmer of hope, four or five people outside became restless, knocking on the door every now and then to urge them on.
