After leaving the cave, Su Mu continued his journey towards the Southwest. The rugged mountain path gradually transformed into a gentle country road, filled with the fragrant scent of earth. After walking for about half a day, Su Mu spotted a small village in the distance, with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys and the sounds of chickens and dogs creating a peaceful scene.
As Su Mu approached the village entrance, he noticed a group of villagers gathered under a large tree, their faces etched with worry and sighs escaping their lips.
Inquiring about their troubles, Su Mu learned that a strange illness had recently swept through the village, infecting many residents. Symptoms included persistent high fever, extreme fatigue, and relentless coughing; in severe cases, some had even fallen into unconsciousness.
In this tranquil village, an unexpected wave of illness cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. The only doctor in the village appeared helpless against such an unusual ailment. Upon hearing this news, fear and unease quickly spread among the villagers, enveloping the entire community in a heavy gloom.
However, in this moment of despair, a young man named Su Mu stepped forward. Though not from the village, his compassionate heart as a healer compelled him to take action. He resolutely decided to stay and do everything he could to help these suffering villagers.
Following the anxious villagers, Su Mu hurried to the home of the resident who was most severely ill. There he found the patient weakly lying on a simple bed, his complexion as pale as paper, devoid of any color; his breathing was rapid and irregular, as if each breath was a desperate struggle against death. Even more distressing was that he had completely lost consciousness and was deeply in a comatose state.
Su Mu dared not delay for even a moment and immediately began to carefully observe the patient's symptoms. He first checked the patient's tongue and pulse for basic signs before asking the anxious family members detailed questions about the onset of symptoms and past medical history. After thorough contemplation and analysis, drawing on his years of medical experience, Su Mu initially deduced that this was likely a respiratory disease caused by some unknown mysterious virus.
However, this preliminary judgment was far from sufficient; to truly find an effective treatment method, it was essential to determine the specific characteristics and transmission routes of this virus. Therefore, Su Mu resolved to personally venture into the mountains to collect relevant herbal samples for further research. Despite the potential difficulties and unknown dangers that lay ahead, he felt no fear because saving lives was his undeniable responsibility as a healer!
Based on records from the Medical Compendium, he found several herbs around the village that might be related to this illness. He brought these herbs back to the village, ground them carefully, and soaked them in spring water before applying the infused liquid to the patient's wrist to observe any reactions.
After repeated trials, Su Mu finally discovered an herb that could alleviate the patient's symptoms. He mixed this herb with several others to brew an Herbal Decoction for the patient.
A few hours later, the patient's high fever gradually subsided, and his breathing became much steadier. Seeing this improvement brought some relief to Su Mu's heart; however, he knew that this was merely treating the symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. To completely cure this illness, he needed to find its source.
Su Mu continued his research and discovered that the disease primarily spread through air and water sources.
He speculated that the nearby water source in the village might have been contaminated, leading to the outbreak of the virus. Thus, he followed the small stream in the village upstream, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Eventually, Su Mu discovered a polluted water source upstream. It turned out that a small workshop had been discharging untreated wastewater directly into the stream, contaminating the water supply.
Su Mu immediately approached the owner of the workshop, explained the situation, and demanded that he cease the discharge of wastewater. Initially, the workshop owner was uncooperative, but under Su Mu's insistence and the pressure from the villagers, he eventually agreed to stop polluting.
After resolving the source of pollution, Su Mu taught the villagers how to purify their water using herbs and guided them on how to prevent such diseases.
With Su Mu's help, the mysterious illness in the village was effectively controlled, and the villagers gradually regained their health. They were immensely grateful to Su Mu and began to refer to him as "Divine Doctor."
Su Mu politely declined the villagers' heartfelt invitations to stay and continued on his Medical Journey. He knew that there was still a long road ahead, and this place was not where he would linger.
