Fang Zilan and Awan prepared a large cart of medicine, and then they drove together to the plague-ridden villages and towns near Mushan Pass. Lieutenant General Cao originally wanted to find some soldiers to go with them, and some soldiers spontaneously wanted to accompany them, but they were all rejected by Fang Zilan.
"With such a large cart of medicine, it's very difficult for just the two of us." A Wan sat next to Fang Zilan, her two slender calves dangling, and the whip in her hand was shaking. "Why do you insist on not letting anyone go with you?"
Fang Zilan held the reins in her hands with an indifferent expression, "That's not necessary."
Awan curled her lips helplessly, "I know what you're thinking. The pirates in Mushan Pass have not been cleared yet, so you don't want to let soldiers go with you, but at least we can find a few more doctors to go with us, right?"
"Most of the doctors are weak and unfit to travel with us." Fang Zilan said nonchalantly, "What's more, in a chaotic situation, most doctors are in short supply, and Mushan Pass is no exception."
"That's it." Awan looked at her curiously, "What about me? Why did you bring me along?"
Fang Zilan said confidently: "Didn't you come here yourself?"
Hearing this, Awan groaned, and her mood suddenly dropped a little. Fang Zilan glanced at her and said, "Awan, have you ever heard a sentence?"
"What are you talking about?" Awan followed her words and asked, only to hear her faintly say: "Only the one you love the most can be given up, because you won't feel indebted."
"What kind of fallacy is this?" Awan said in shock: "You mean, you love me the most, so you take me with you, and even if I have some shortcomings, you will have no regrets and peace of mind?"
After she finished speaking, before Fang Zilan could answer, she sneered, "Fang Zilan, even if you lie to me, you should tell a decent lie. Such a lame lie really doesn't suit you."
"Yeah, it's obviously full of flaws, but he spoke it so grandly." A coldness flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, and Awan tugged on her sleeve, "Who is he you are talking about? Who said this to you?"
"It's nothing, it's all over." Fang Zilan looked forward with deep eyes, "I will never believe his words again."
She didn't tell Awan that this was what Ji Ningtian once said to her.
For some reason, perhaps because the future was unclear, or perhaps because of the complicated affairs of the past few days, she always recalled the past inadvertently.
If she had compromised from the beginning and not chosen to become a sword, would the road today not be so difficult?
At this moment, she was shaken badly.
Awan didn't pay attention to her emotions, but just shook his head and said: "Fang Zilan, just admit it. You brought me with you, not to abandon me, but to ensure that I am safe and sound, right?"
"Yes." Fang Zilan nodded without hesitation, and Awan looked like she knew it. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly sighed softly, "This road is really difficult to walk."
Awan looked at the bumpy road in front of him and casually agreed: "It is indeed difficult to walk. But if we go further, it will be much easier to walk closer to the villages and towns."
As she spoke, she came closer to Fang Zilan, looked at her gloomy face, and said with a smile: "You don't regret it, do you?"
When Fang Zilan was told the central issue, she subconsciously blurted out: "What did you say?"
"There's no point regretting it. After all, it's your choice." Awan raised the whip in her hand, "Instead of regretting, it's more important to choose an easy path again. It's more important to take the chosen path well, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and Awan pushed her to the side and moved her position, "If you regret it, we might all arrive. If you want to be in a daze, just sit aside and I will drive the car."
Fang Zilan let her move while listening to her talk, "When I was imprisoned in the Mushan Pass Prison, you still remembered to let me look at the stars. Why do you think the road is not easy to walk now when I want to catch a car..."
Fang Zilan looked at the struggling but serious look of the little figure in front of her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. Awan was right. No matter how shaken she was, there was no room for regret anymore. She might as well continue to risk everything and go down this path.
"I'll do it." She held Awan's wrist and took the whip in her hand. "You take a break first and think about whether there is any way to cure the epidemic."
"Speaking of epidemics, I still want to ask you." Awan suddenly remembered something and asked, "I see you have prepared a lot of bitter mugwort, golden mugwort and so on, but what do you know?"
"I also heard about it." Fang Zilan said after considering it: "I heard a doctor mention a similar disease before. At that time, the doctor said, 'take a handful of Artemisia annua, soak it with two liters of water, wring out the juice, and drink it. This can cure this disease."
Awan repeated the treatment method she mentioned, with doubt on her face, "Why have I never heard of this method?"
"The world is huge, and there are always things we don't know." Fang Zilan said with a firm expression, "The plague is dangerous, even if there is a one in 10,000 chance, it is still worth a try."
"You're right." Awan crossed his arms and let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you have a way."
Fang Zilan listened to her voice and heard it intermittently, "Actually, ever since I heard Miss Yan'er talk about the epidemic that day, I have been thinking about ways to cure it. But I am ashamed to say that what I have learned is limited. I didn’t think of anything today.”
Her voice was a little lower, "Two days ago, you said you were going to the plague-infected villages and towns to see the situation, and I pestered you to come with you. I said it was because of your illness, but in fact it was my selfishness. Even if you don't take me Colleagues, I am going alone."
When she saw Fang Zilan looking sideways at her, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I know what you are thinking, but it is not what you think. I am different from the master. The master must go and see any difficult and complicated diseases he sees. I looked at it last time. I am different. I don’t have such a strong curiosity. If it weren’t for my patient and the risk of my life, I wouldn’t have to look at it.”
She paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's because I'm not that confident in my medical skills. The more illnesses I see, the more I feel that I can't do anything about it. I know there are always people in this world that I can't treat well. There are always people who are sick that I can’t save. For example, I don’t have much confidence in you.”
"In that case, why are you still traveling with me?" Fang Zilan grabbed the reins and slowed down the carriage, turned around and looked at Awan steadily, her expression and tone were rare and gentle, "You have no reason to go. .”
"Because the patient is there." Awan smiled brightly, "Although I know that as a ghost doctor, I can't help the world by hanging a pot, but I still hope that I can save one more person."
She was a little embarrassed by Fang Zilan, "I guess you must think my idea is ridiculous now, but it doesn't matter. I'm young anyway, so you can't laugh at me."
"I don't think your idea is ridiculous. On the contrary, I admire your idea very much." Fang Zilan said every word carefully, "Knowing the consequences but still not giving in, and being willing to risk your life for it, is worthy of admiration. .”
