The next day.
Qin Yi woke up early, preparing to go to work.
Before he could leave, he received a call from Huang Shi, who informed him that there was news about Jin Yan Hua.
Without hesitation, Qin Yi abandoned his plans to go to the company and headed out to meet Huang Shi.
Jin Yan Hua and Chong Sui Cao were the two most crucial ingredients for treating Qin Lei's facial scars. The sooner he found them, the sooner Qin Lei could regain her beauty!
Qin Yi watched Qin Lei leave for work wearing a mask every day, and it pained him deeply.
Arriving at the pharmacy owned by Huang Shi, Qin Yi, upon meeting him, directly asked, "Where can I buy Jin Yan Hua?"
Huang Shi replied, "Mr. Qin, Jin Yan Hua is too rare. Currently, no pharmacies have it for sale..."
"Hmm?" Qin Yi interrupted, "If it's not for sale, what did you mean by having news?"
"It's like this, Mr. Qin. I received news last night that some untended wild Jin Yan Hua has been discovered in Yonghe Village!"
"Where is Yonghe Village?"
"It's a small village under Haicheng. It takes about two to three hours to get there by car from the city."
"Understood, thank you, Elder Huang!"
Qin Yi thanked Huang Shi and prepared to take a taxi to Yonghe Village himself.
"Mr. Qin..." Huang Shi called out, "Let me go with you. The shop has an assistant watching it, and I have nothing else to do!"
Qin Yi thought for a moment and did not refuse.
So, Huang Shi drove out one of his personal cars, taking Qin Yi to Yonghe Village.
...
In the car, Qin Yi learned that Huang Shi knew about Jin Yan Hua growing in Yonghe Village because he had a student working at a hospital in a town near Yonghe Village.
The news came from that student.
Huang Shi drove Qin Yi to the town first, picked up the student, and then, under the student's guidance, headed to Yonghe Village.
After all, Huang Shi had never been to Yonghe Village before and needed someone familiar with it to lead the way.
Huang Shi's student was in his thirties, wore glasses, and had a gentle demeanor. His name was Yu Xianhui.
Under Huang Shi's introduction, Qin Yi and Yu Xianhui got acquainted.
Seeing Huang Shi's respectful attitude towards Qin Yi, Yu Xianhui found it very strange and wanted to ask Huang Shi several times, but he held back each time.
"Teacher, Jin Yan Hua is on the cliff behind Yonghe Village. Because it grows in a concealed location, it's hard for people to find. I stumbled upon it the last time I did a rural visit to check on the village elders..."
In the car, Yu Xianhui explained to Huang Shi how he discovered the Jin Yan Hua.
Jin Yan Hua is a rather rare medicinal herb, with each plant valued at tens of thousands. If the one in Yonghe Village hadn't been growing on a cliff, it would likely have been picked long ago.
After some time, the car arrived outside Yonghe Village, at the end of the road. Huang Shi parked the car by the roadside, and the three of them walked into the village.
Led by Yu Xianhui, they walked through the village towards the cliff behind the mountain.
As they passed through the village, the villagers of Yonghe Village greeted Yu Xianhui enthusiastically.
"I often come down to measure blood pressure and blood sugar for the village elders and check their health, so I'm familiar with everyone here!"
Yu Xianhui explained to Qin Yi and Huang Shi.
The two understood.
"Xianhui, with your abilities, you could have transferred to work in a county or even a city hospital long ago. For so many years, you've insisted on staying at the town hospital. It's truly a sacrifice for you!" Huang Shi said with emotion.
Yu Xianhui shook his head, "What sacrifice is there? Actually, I'm quite content staying at the town hospital. It doesn't have the same pressure as city hospitals!"
"Moreover, there are many elderly people and left-behind children in the countryside who also need doctors. If everyone goes to city hospitals, it will be even harder for them to see a doctor!"
Huang Shi said nothing more, only reaching out and patting Yu Xianhui's shoulders heavily.
Qin Yi, walking beside them, listened to their conversation and couldn't help but glance at Yu Xianhui again.
His good impression of Yu Xianhui surged, and he even felt a sense of admiration.
For the sake of the rural elderly and left-behind children, Yu Xianhui was willing to give up a promising future and stay in a small town to work. It was truly remarkable!
After walking for over twenty minutes, the three arrived at their destination.
"Teacher, the Jin Yan Hua is right there!"
Yu Xianhui raised his hand and pointed to a cliff about twenty meters high in front of them.
Qin Yi and Huang Shi followed his gaze and saw, near the center of the cliff, in a crevice, a pale red flower nestled among a clump of weeds.
Despite the distance, both Qin Yi and Huang Shi recognized it at a glance as Jin Yan Hua.
Qin Yi became somewhat excited and immediately quickened his pace. At the base of the cliff, he made a move to climb up and pick it.
"What are you doing???"
Yu Xianhui quickly caught up and stopped him.
Qin Yi was forced to halt and replied, "Of course, I'm going up to pick the Jin Yan Hua!"
His purpose for coming today was the Jin Yan Hua.
Yu Xianhui said with exasperation, "Little Brother Qin, look carefully. The Jin Yan Hua is growing in a crevice in the middle of the cliff. You don't have any tools. Aren't you afraid of falling if you climb up like this!"
Huang Shi walked over and nodded in agreement, "Mr. Qin, I think the crevice is nearly ten meters above the ground. It's too dangerous for you to go up like this!"
"Why don't we go back and borrow some tools from the villagers, or ask villagers who are good at climbing to help pick it? We can offer them compensation afterward!"
"No need for such trouble. I can climb up this height directly!"
Qin Yi shook his head and refused.
Then, before the two could react, he stamped his right foot lightly and leaped onto the cliff.
Huang Shi and Yu Xianhui then watched in astonishment as Qin Yi clung to the cliff, like a gecko, swiftly climbing towards the crevice.
Qin Yi moved on the steep cliff as if walking on level ground!
In just a few seconds, he reached the crevice and carefully plucked the Jin Yan Hua from it with one hand.
Having picked the Jin Yan Hua, Qin Yi turned around on the cliff face and, with a leap, jumped down.
Thump.
From a height of nearly ten meters, Qin Yi landed steadily, his feet causing the ground to tremble slightly.
But he was completely unharmed.
"!!!"
"???"
Huang Shi and Yu Xianhui were stunned, their mouths involuntarily opening into 'o' shapes.
Yu Xianhui snapped back to reality and pointed at Qin Yi, exclaiming, "Little Brother Qin, you, you..."
Qin Yi carefully put away the Jin Yan Hua, "I've practiced before, so this height is nothing to me!"
Huang Shi closed his mouth and marveled, "Mr. Qin, I never expected that besides your excellent medical skills, your martial arts are also so superb. Amazing!"
Qin Yi smiled and waved his hand.
Hearing this, Yu Xianhui blurted out, "Teacher, Little Brother Qin also knows medicine?"
