I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The trip to the dungeon went surprisingly smoothly. Perhaps because more and more people from the underworld were visiting the sect, the pseudo-White Horse Sect disciples were tired and exhausted from receiving them, so Mr. Mo's men just gave them some sleeping pills, and they all fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness.

Jin Yanyu had been taking care of her mother day and night for the past few days, and she was exhausted. She couldn't help but fall asleep. However, she woke up soon because something was on her mind, and suddenly she found a person squatting in front of her mother's bed.

She was so shocked that her first reaction was to shout for help. But her recent experiences had helped her improve, and she let the sound roll back and forth between her lips a few times before finally swallowing it.

With the help of the dim yellow oil lamp outside the prison door, she could vaguely recognize that it was a woman based on her figure and hairstyle.

Of course there are female disciples in the Baima Sect, but they are all locked up in the cells next door. As for those vicious villains who are as fierce as wolves and tigers, they are all men.

Who could be the woman who appeared here at this time, wearing the attire of a White Horse Sect disciple?

Jin Yanyu gently picked up the pottery bowl beside the couch, slowly stood up and moved behind the woman, holding it high.

The shadow swayed in front of Luo Qianhuai, but she was only focused on taking his pulse and did not look back.

"Yanyu, it's me." She whispered, "I'm late, but it seems I'm still in time."

"Sister?" Jin Yanyu was stunned. She slowly put down the bowl in her hand, walked forward and looked at her carefully. She recognized the pair of clear black and white almond eyes, and her eyes gradually turned red:

"The White Horse Gate is now a dangerous place, you shouldn't have come. I heard that the Wuxiang Sword Sect will also come to preside over important events in the next two days - those people are cruel and ruthless, sister, please leave quickly and don't worry about us!"

"It's too late. The Ancient Sword Sect has already arrived." Luo Qianhuai said calmly: "Leaving now will attract attention. Let's talk about your mother's illness first."

Jin Yanyu's attention was immediately drawn to her: "My mother... can she still be saved?"

"Chronic gastritis and intestinal abscess. I need to check again to determine the location and severity of the intestinal abscess. I hope Madam will cooperate."

As Luo Qianhuai spoke, he pressed on Jin's mother's abdomen.

In fact, Jin's mother had woken up a long time ago. She had been ill in bed for a long time, and she was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. She was also drowsy due to the fever, but she knew in her heart that Luo Qianhuai was helping her diagnose her pulse, so she didn't say anything.

It was not until she heard the conversation between her daughter and her that she realized that the woman in front of her was the benefactor who rescued her daughter in Zulongtan. She immediately struggled to sit up, but she was so weak that she lay down again after only two struggles.

"Madam, you're welcome." Luo Qianhuai said soothingly, exerting force with his palm, constantly changing the position of pressing. When he pressed somewhere on the left side of the abdominal cavity, Jin's mother suddenly groaned in pain.

It was not a colon abscess, which is what later generations called acute appendicitis. Luo Qianhuai breathed a sigh of relief.

There are no conditions for surgery here. If you really get the disease, you can only have surgery reluctantly and hope for your life.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jin only suffered from small intestinal abscess. In fact, acute appendicitis is often caused by overeating. Mrs. Jin's stomach and intestines are so weak, so this may be smaller than that of ordinary people.

However, for gastrointestinal diseases, the accuracy of taking the pulse is far less than that of a colonoscopy.

To be on the safe side, Luo Qianhuai activated the system.

She had promised it last time to activate it at least twice within a month. She couldn't go back on her word, otherwise she didn't know how deep a hole the system would dig for her next time.

"System, please help me scan Mrs. Jin's gastrointestinal tract for lesions."

"The wish has been received. We are working hard to calculate the shortcut according to the host's needs..."

"Ding! Shortcut calculation is successful! Use the shortcut system to reach the peak of life. Thank you for your trust and support for the shortcut system version 1.4!"

A three-dimensional image of the gastrointestinal tract appeared in front of Luo Qianhuai.

It also comes with a preliminary diagnosis.

"Chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia."

"Jejunal gas cyst, with two colon polyps."

Luo Qianhuai's heart was completely in his stomach. Although the stomach problem was not light, it was not critical. She had a special prescription for atrophic gastritis. As long as he left here and slowly recuperated, he would be cured in about a year.

As for the cyst in the jejunum, it was the culprit that caused Mrs. Jin to have a high fever. If it were in her previous life, she would have taken medicine to reduce inflammation first, or if that didn't work, she would have had surgery to remove it.

And she just happened to have the most suitable medicine.

The system was silent for a second, then became noisy again.

"The task of detecting the disease is complete. Now we are evaluating the effectiveness of this shortcut route. Ding, the evaluation is complete, the total score is 97, the evaluation is excellent."

"Analysis of the specific situation. This execution is divided into two parts: the system formulated an excellent plan and executed it perfectly, with a score of 95, which is an extremely outstanding performance; the host was able to face up to his own shortcomings and seek help from the system in a timely manner, with a score of 2."

Luo Qianhuai: "...Thank you for your affirmation!"

"The host has no objection to the evaluation results, and now issues the top-level execution rewards as follows:

1. Score 2000 points. System Upgrade/

2. A pure gold nameplate

3. Tell the truth (can be used on anyone, tell the user everything within ten minutes) once

4. One chance to win the intermediate lottery

"The reward will be distributed soon. Do you want to withdraw it now?"

Luo Qianhuai was not interested in other rewards, but the intermediate lottery still made her excited.

"Let's draw the lottery first, and then we can talk about the other things."

The huge roulette wheel appeared again, filled with all kinds of eye-catching prizes.

Start, spin rapidly, and stop.

"Ding, the lottery is complete. I got a copy of the 'Geographical Distribution Map of High-Quality Herbs in Dayu'."

This is really a good thing. Luo Qianhuai knew that this was not the time to look at this picture, but he still couldn't help but open it and take a look.

The 3D map is densely packed with all kinds of medicinal herbs, with their names and years, and marked with different colors according to their scarcity.

Just click on any place and you can zoom in to see the exact location.

The system also thoughtfully prepared several small tools, such as a conditional search box, which allows her to easily search for specific herbs and even add year requirements; another example is optional tags that only display the distribution locations of specific herbs, etc.

Luo Qianhuai was so happy after seeing this that she almost forgot where she was. When Jin Yanyu saw her lost in thought and speechless for a long time, she thought that her mother was seriously ill and could not be cured.

She didn't understand what atrophic gastritis was, but she knew what intestinal abscess was.

In this era, no matter what kind of intestinal abscess it is, it is an incurable disease and one cannot dare to have any lucky thoughts.

She waited for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say, "Sister, how long can mother hold on? Just tell me... I'm ready."

"Huh?" Luo Qianhuai came back to his senses and looked at Jin Yanyu's nervous expression and Mrs. Jin's indifferent expression on life and death, and he realized that they had misunderstood.

"Do you believe me, sister?" She said confidently, "Back then, I was able to kill the dragon and break through the barrier in Zulongtan. Now, I can also cure your aunt's illness."

"Intestinal abscesses are not a terminal disease, but they were not treated properly before. But from now on, it will be different."

As she spoke, she took out a small bottle of Xihuang Pills from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Jin Yanyu: "Take one pill at a time, twice a day."

The medicines that Luo Qianhuai had carried with him had long since drifted away along the Wei River. Now these were brought back together with the medicine box by Wei Ying when he caught up with the boat to pack up their belongings.

She only had a few common medicines in her sleeve pocket, while the ready-made medicines in the box were more complete.

Xihuang Pills are an excellent medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine for clearing away heat, reducing swelling and treating carbuncles. They are made from natural bezoar. In later generations, they can even cure cancer. How could Luo Qianhuai not prepare them?

"Be patient and we will rescue you as soon as possible." Luo Qianhuai left this sentence before leaving.

Behind her, Jin Yanyu tightly grasped the porcelain bottle in her hand, and her eyes gradually showed a little bright light.
