Medicinal materials just picked from the mountains cannot be used directly.
It also needs to be processed with special techniques to stimulate the medicinal properties and remove toxins as much as possible before it can be used as medicine.
Li Qingniu did not hesitate and took a group of servants to concoct the medicinal materials himself.
Su Xian was "supervising" from the side.
As the sun sets and dusk approaches, all preparations for the medicinal bath are finally completed.
In the courtyard where Su Xian and the others lived temporarily, a room was vacated and used as a special bathroom for Yang Zhilan's medicinal bath, with a bathtub placed in it.
The white mist fills the air and the aroma of medicine hits your nose.
"Miracle doctor, can we start?" Su Xian glanced at the sky. The sun was about to set.
"It's time to start. Remember, take a medicated bath for half an hour, no more, no less... After the medicated bath, notify me to check your pulse."
After Li Qingniu finished his instructions, he waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and left with a leisurely step. Naturally, he couldn't stay here.
Zhou Wei also left.
After watching Li Qingniu go away, Su Xian put his hands on Yang Zhilan's thin shoulders, pushed her towards the bathroom, and said seriously:
"Zhilan, let's go in. It's getting late. We'll come out just in time to eat after taking a dip."
"Yeah." Yang Zhilan nodded.
Tang Shujing grabbed Su Xian's arm, pulled her back, took Su Xian's place, and said loudly: "Nvxia Yang is taking a bath, why are you going in? Stay outside!"
"..."
boom!
Before Su Xian could say anything, they had already entered the bathroom and closed the door tightly.
Su Xian pursed his lips and blushed slightly. He was so embarrassed that he was so concerned that he actually wanted to go in and take a bath with Yang Zhilan.
Suddenly, he found someone next to him staring at him with burning eyes.
Turn around and look.
It's actually Yan Dashan...
Yan Dashan immediately ran away and said casually: "I'll find an incense burner and light another incense so that I can calculate the end of the medicinal bath."
"..."
The sky gradually darkened.
Looking up, the sky is filled with stars.
The night in Butterfly Valley is particularly quiet. In the distant mountains and forests, the faint sound of wild beasts neighing, always reminds Su Xian that this is a wild place far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
However, you can occasionally hear the crow of cocks and the barking of dogs, and the smell of a well blows into your face.
Finally, the hour is coming.
Su Xian and Yan Dashan always stood outside the bathroom, staring at the incense in the incense burner. When there was still the last bit of incense left, Su Xian was shocked and ordered to Yan Dashan:
"The time is coming, go and ask the miracle doctor to take Zhilan's pulse immediately."
"yes."
Yan Dashan left quickly.
Su Xian couldn't sit still anymore and walked back and forth in front of the bathroom door. Suddenly, there was a creaking sound and Tang Shujing helped Yang Zhilan out.
"Finally finished soaking. Go next door quickly and wait for the miracle doctor to come and check your pulse."
Su Xian quickly looked at Yang Zhilan and found that her face was rosy and her complexion was indeed better. She couldn't help but feel very excited. It seemed that the medicinal bath was effective!
After coming to the next door and sitting down, Su Xian immediately asked: "Zhilan, how do you feel?"
"Very good, very comfortable!" Yang Zhilan was in a really good mood, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.
At this time, Li Qingniu arrived.
Su Xian pulled him and quickly checked Yang Zhilan's pulse.
The room fell silent instantly.
Everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing Li Qingniu's diagnosis.
After all, whether medicated bath therapy has any effect depends on the diagnosis results later.
Although Yang Zhilan looked very good and rosy after taking a medicinal bath, and she herself felt good...but Li Qingniu's diagnosis results still had to prevail.
Li Qingniu sat there with his eyes closed, his fingers neither light nor heavy resting on her wrist, motionless.
Suddenly, Su Xian and others discovered that although Li Qingniu's eyes were not open, his brows were slightly furrowed.
Boom!
Everyone's hearts suddenly sank. Could it be that something was wrong?
Su Xian, in particular, glared and really wanted to grab Li Qingniu's shoulders and shake him violently. What is the situation? You should speak up!
Fortunately, he still had sense and was not reckless.
After a while, everyone noticed that Li Qingniu's slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed and returned to normal. Finally, he opened his eyes and checked his pulse.
"What's the result?" Su Xian asked immediately.
"Not bad! So far, it seems that the efficacy of the medicated bath has exceeded my expectation. Miss Yang has already extended her life by one month after taking this bath!" Li Qingniu twirled his goat beard and talked eloquently, looking like a master from this world. .
"Zhilan, did you hear that? It's working!"
Su Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed that their journey of thousands of miles was not in vain, and now they finally saw the dawn of hope.
Everyone thanked Li Qingniu.
But Li Qingniu didn't care, yawned and warned:
"At this time tomorrow, we will continue with the medicinal bath for half an hour...Okay, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'm sleepy too."
After waving his hand, Li Qingniu left with a leisurely step.
After watching Li Qingniu go away, Su Xian quickly ordered a sumptuous table of good wine and food to be put on the table. In order to prepare for the medicinal bath, they had not had dinner yet.
After drinking and eating, everyone took a bath and went to bed.
Everyone was very tired from preparing for the medicated bath today. In addition, the medicated bath was effective, and Yang Zhilan's old illness was expected to be cured. In a good mood, everyone fell asleep quickly and slept soundly.
Only Su Xian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Because he suddenly remembered what Li Qingniu said after taking his pulse, and there was a key word in it: "Looking at it now."
Su Xian instinctively felt that this word was famous.
In addition, Li Qingniu "has committed a crime". This bad old man is very good at lying. Could it be...
After much thought, he finally came to a conclusion——
Li Qingniu probably didn’t try his best!
Deliberately keeping one hand open.
As for the purpose... of course it is to squeeze more things out of him, such as the "little insect theory".
However, in the past two days, Su Xian had already explained the "bug theory" in detail in order to coax Li Qingniu. He had to come up with another "gimmick".
Got it!
In the darkness, Su Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered secretly: "It seems that in the next two days, we will have to find a way to build a set of distillation equipment to distill high-level disinfectant alcohol..."
"..."
However, the idea of building a distillation plant never came to fruition.
because--
On the second day of the medicinal bath, Li Qingniu's diagnosis was excellent and Yang Zhilan's life was extended by another month. So far, Yang Zhilan has lived for more than two months.
On the third day of the medicinal bath, Li Qingniu's diagnosis was excellent and Yang Zhilan's life was extended by another month. So far, Yang Zhilan's life span has been more than three months.
On the fourth day of the medicinal bath, Li Qingniu's diagnosis was excellent and Yang Zhilan's life was extended by one month. So far, Yang Zhilan's life span has been more than four months.
On the fifth day of the medicinal bath, Li Qingniu's diagnosis was excellent and Yang Zhilan's life was extended by another month. So far, Yang Zhilan has lived for more than five months.
…
It was like this for five days in a row.
Although the overall effect is still slow, it only takes five days to live for five months, but it is still better than "life span is less than half a month".
If things continue like this, Yang Zhilan's old illnesses will surely be eliminated!
Su Xian and others had been worried for more than half a month and finally got relief.
