Chapter 67

Old Man asked, and Jiang Xingchen pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said, "We need a corpse that died from illness, and it can't have been dead for long..."

Old Man's eyes widened, clearly not understanding Jiang Xingchen's meaning. He asked in surprise, "Why do you need a corpse?"

"This disease... it's definitely a problem inside the body. To treat it, we need to figure out the exact location of the lesion..."

As Jiang Xingchen explained, Old Man suddenly understood, "So we need a corpse that died from abdominal pain to determine the location of the lesion!"

At this point, Old Man's eyes lit up, "You want to cut open the abdomen and apply the medicine directly to the lesion... Right, why didn't I think of that!"

Jiang Xingchen smirked, thinking to himself, "Cutting open the body, you wouldn't think of that... But applying medicine to the appendix won't work; even if it gets better, it could recur in the future!"

Then, Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "Not applying medicine to the lesion, but cutting it out directly!"

"What?" Old Man's eyes bulged, his mouth slightly open, looking utterly incredulous, "Cut it out? Are you crazy? How can you cut out internal organs and still expect the person to live?"

The idea of cutting out internal organs was too radical for him to comprehend or accept.

"You're the one who's crazy. This is my plan. Are you in or not?" Jiang Xingchen couldn't explain much more; the more he talked, the more complicated it got. He wasn't a professional, and if he was pressed for details, he would definitely be exposed and might even be suspected.

Old Man hesitated, then said, "Well... I won't interfere... Can you do it yourself?"

"Sure!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and smiled, "I'll talk to Xin'er later and tell her that the old man doesn't want to save her... Then we can add two more episodes to the original six-episode story, where the great physician of the empire refuses to help, destroying the hope of curing the terminal illness..."

"Ah!" Old Man's body trembled, the veins on his forehead forming a star shape, his eyes twitching, and his hand shaking as he pointed at Jiang Xingchen, "Kid, you're really ruthless!"

"Whatever!" Jiang Xingchen's lips curled, and he turned to leave.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Old Man gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe..." Jiang Xingchen's face lit up with a victorious smile, "Old Man, don't worry. As long as we can confirm the location, I can make precise incisions. You just need to deal with the wound infection, and there's a 60% chance of curing Xin'er!"

Old Man's face was grim; he couldn't imagine how to use medicine after cutting out an organ. Could you apply the medicine to the wound? Would that work...

"Kid, don't joke around! Tell me the truth, can a person really survive after cutting out an organ?" Old Man became serious.

"Sure!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, his tone firm.

"Alright!" Old Man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll trust you this time... But finding a recently deceased corpse won't be easy."

"I know!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, "We can explain to the family that this is for the advancement of medical science, to help future generations escape the torment of abdominal pain. We can offer more money..."

"That's not the issue! Offering money and contributing to a cause, someone will definitely agree... The problem is that this small town only has a few thousand people, and the chances of finding one are slim. Even in Hongyuan City and the capital, it's not easy to find a recently deceased patient... Xin'er's condition is quite serious!"

Jiang Xingchen said, "So, Old Man, you'll need to put more effort into controlling Xin'er's condition... As for the corpse, we'll have to search slowly; we can't rush it!"

"I'll do my best! But you need to get some Cold Yuan Ice Flowers; we need to increase the dosage! The little bit left by Du Rui is not enough to last long!"

"Alright!" Jiang Xingchen, though not short of money, still felt a bit reluctant to spend tens of thousands of yellow crystals. However, after a brief hesitation, he agreed. Since he had decided to help, he would see it through. If he asked Du Rui for money, he might run off into the vast mountains again.

"But he must pay me back in the future!" Jiang Xingchen added to himself.

"I'll contact Chuxue and have her send letters to the capital and the major lords, asking the large pharmacies to search..." Old Man paused, then continued, "But even if we find one, it will take time to deliver. Will it still be useful?"

"It's better than nothing!" Jiang Xingchen nodded quickly. No matter what, as long as they could identify the appendix and confirm its location, it would be helpful.

"Alright! Let's write the letters right away!" Old Man nodded.

Jiang Xingchen took out a piece of white silk and wrote to Mo Hongxian, asking for help in the search, including the purchase of Cold Yuan Ice Flowers, essential medicines, and the creation of surgical instruments like scalpels, forceps, scissors, and clamps. He also asked Zhao Danqing to bring more catgut sutures.

After finishing, Jiang Xingchen thought for a moment and said to Old Man, "If we find one, send it directly to my territory!"

"Huh?" Old Man was taken aback, "Your territory is remote, and the necessary supplies are incomplete. It would be better to stay here or return to Hongyuan City!"

"We don't know how long it will take. Staying here or returning to Hongyuan City isn't a solution... Don't worry, Old Man, going to my territory won't be a problem. I've prepared everything I need."

As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen turned to Mei'er and asked for a messenger bird, tied both letters to it, and released it...

The next morning, the group set off again. The lord of the small town, with a smiling face, led a group of people to see Jiang Xingchen off for a long distance. Although his rank was high, he didn't show any airs in front of Jiang Xingchen. Not only because Jiang Xingchen was a favorite of the marquis, but also because he had given him a significant favor by leaving the assassins for him, clearly to help him gain favor with the marquis.

Thinking of the marquis patting his shoulder and praising him loudly, the lord's eyes narrowed, staring at the departing convoy until it disappeared. Finally, one of his subordinates couldn't bear it anymore and woke him from his reverie.

"Prepare yourself, take the assassins to Hongyuan City!" The lord waved his hand with authority and turned to leave...

"Is he really only sixteen years old, and so mature in his actions... No wonder Chuxue described him as warm and refined!" Old Man looked at the shivering Jiang Xingchen and thought to himself.

Jiang Xingchen felt a bit uneasy under Old Man's gaze, frowned, and moved closer to Mei'er.

"Hey~ What's that look on his face? Am I that detestable!" Old Man's eyes widened, and he silently grumbled, "Warm and refined is just this bastard's facade; his heart is extremely sinister, cunning, and dark... Hmm, why am I using the same words as that little bastard..."

Three more days passed, and the journey was smooth without any further incidents. However, the weather remained gloomy, with occasional snowflakes falling, though not heavily. Old Man's brows furrowed with worry.

Xin'er's condition was relatively stable under the care of Cold Yuan Ice Flowers and Old Man. But the most crucial point was that Jiang Xingchen no longer gave Xin'er any greasy food.

This made the old man very frustrated. Is abdominal pain related to greasy food? Fine, even if it is, why can't I eat it? Even more unforgivable, why can you and Mei'er eat it...

On the sixth day of leaving Hongyuan City, at noon, Mei'er pointed ahead and said happily, "Brother, look, we're almost home!"

Jiang Xingchen followed Mei'er's finger and saw a canyon ahead, with two small mountains on either side, now covered in snow, only the outlines visible.

"Mei'er, do you think it's okay to change the name of the territory?" Jiang Xingchen put his arm around Mei'er's shoulders, looking ahead, where his future home lay.

"Huh?" Mei'er was taken aback, turned to look at Jiang Xingchen, and asked, "Brother, isn't Qing Shan Village a good name? Why change it? What to change it to?"

Surprised, Mei'er asked three questions in quick succession.

"No!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, shook his head, and gently patted Mei'er's head, "Qing Shan Village is a good name! But I prefer to call our territory Xingchen Territory!"

"Oh... Ah!" Mei'er responded, then suddenly realized, covering her mouth. Her mind was filled with the words "Xingchen Territory" echoing!

"Brother, is this because of me... Not only changing your name but also the territory..." Mei'er's eyes misted over, and she was instantly enveloped in happiness, feeling warm and cozy, the winter chill dispelled!

"Little girl, what are you thinking! I like stars, I've told you before!" Jiang Xingchen was speechless at the little girl's words and gently tapped her head.

"Hmph!" Mei'er pouted, "Don't try to fool me, brother, you used to hate stars the most..."

Though she looked annoyed, her tone sounded like she was pouting, and her eyes involuntarily narrowed into two caterpillars. She mumbled, "I like stars the most, I don't know why you're embarrassed, loving your sister is nothing to be ashamed of..."

"Alright! Stop looking, it's cold with the curtain open!" Jiang Xingchen patted Mei'er.

"I'm not cold, brother's sleeping bag is very warm!" Mei'er turned her head and winked playfully.

"You're not cold, I am! Do you think I'm like Old Man, getting more energetic in the cold? Put it down!"

"Kid! If you keep involving me in your nonsense, see what I do to you!" Old Man's angry roar echoed in the carriage.

"Hehe..." Mei'er laughed, stopped joking with her brother, and prepared to lower the curtain.

But at that moment, many black dots suddenly appeared amidst the white snow, quickly approaching their carriage.

"This is... the villagers!" Mei'er paused, watching the growing figures, and suddenly shook Jiang Xingchen's arm, pointing ahead and shouting, "Grandma Yun, Grandpa Fu, Uncle Shiwazi... they've come to welcome brother!"
