Chapter 803: Chapter 806: Medicine King Valley
Medicine King Valley, just from the name it sounds like a very mysterious and prestigious place, probably a valley filled with herbs and many doctors studying medicine and herbs.
As soon as you approach Medicine King Valley, the air feels different, a very fresh scent hits you, slightly fragrant, making you feel relaxed and joyful.
Xiaoxiao breathed in deeply, exclaiming, "The smell of nature is just so different, so comfortable."
With the window open, looking outside, those patches that look like a sea of flowers might be the so-called herbs, but Xiaoxiao doesn’t know herbs; seeing them is pointless since she knows nothing about them. She has to make sure not to eat or touch them randomly to avoid poisoning.
Soon, the carriage came to a stop, and Yang Ming said, "Honey, get off, we’ve arrived."
Upon hearing Yang Ming’s voice, Xiaoxiao opened the door, holding the child as she got off the carriage, seeing the gate of the so-called Medicine King Valley.
"Who are you?" The gatekeeper saw Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming, asking.
"Brother, we’re here seeking medical help, hoping you can let us in." Yang Ming spoke up.
"Do you have a letter?"
"What letter?" Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
"Who recommended you here? Our Medicine King Valley requires a recommendation letter to enter," the guard explained.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, not expecting Medicine King Valley to have such a rule. Who made it so unempathetic, refusing to treat the sick, isn’t this going to cost many lives?
"Brother, could you please help report us? We’ve come a long way. It wasn’t easy finding this Medicine King Valley; the child at home is sick, we’ve seen many doctors but none could help, that’s why we’re here." Xiaoxiao decided to plead tearfully.
But the gatekeeper refused without a second thought, "No, it’s the rules of Medicine King Valley, can’t break them. If the child is sick, you should quickly find another doctor, Beijing is just ahead, there are many doctors there too."
"Brother, look, we’ve come all this way, and the child’s illness can’t wait. If we go to Beijing now, I’m afraid the child won’t hold on, can you make an exception?" Xiaoxiao pleaded, holding up the child for the gatekeeper to see, hoping he would sympathize.
But the gatekeeper remained unmoved, "No, no, if you don’t have a letter, leave quickly."
Seeing this gatekeeper so rigid and unempathetic, Xiaoxiao became anxious, looking to Yang Ming, unsure what to do.
Faced with this outcome, Yang Ming feared they might not be able to enter Medicine King Valley, so he asked, "Brother, is the Divine Doctor Xue in Medicine King Valley?"
"The Divine Doctor Xue is not here."
This single "not here" felt like a severe blow; they couldn’t enter Medicine King Valley to see if the child was poisoned, and the Divine Doctor Xue wasn’t there, so what should they do? Are they really supposed to go to Beijing as the gatekeeper suggested?
"Brother, do you know where the Divine Doctor Xue went?"
"The Divine Doctor Xue is always wandering outside, we don’t know exactly where," the gatekeeper replied, gesturing again, saying, "You should leave; without a letter, you can’t enter Medicine King Valley."
Seeing the gatekeeper was resolute, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming had no choice but to leave the Medicine King Valley gate, returning to their carriage. "Husband, what do we do now?"
