This matter has to start with Zheng Yuannai, a devout believer in Cihang Temple.

Late at night that day, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Zheng family's villa in Nandu City.

When the doorman opened the door, he found that it was General Zheng's most trusted attendant.

"Where's the young master? I have something urgent to report to him!"

The servants did not dare to delay and immediately went to call Zheng Yuannai.

Zheng Yuannai had already fallen asleep at this time and was woken up when he was called.

When he heard that there was an urgent matter in Yangzhou, he went straight to the reception room without even buttoning his clothes.

Fortunately, the military generals’ families don’t have so many requirements.

When he walked into the reception room, he saw his father's trusted aide Fan Dayong rubbing his hair with a towel. His clothes were also wet and dripping.

Obviously he came here in the heavy rain.

"Uncle Yong, what happened?"

Zheng Yuannai asked somewhat uneasily.

It must be a big deal that could make my father's confidants so anxious.

Fan Dayong threw the towel away, and knelt on the ground with red eyes:

"Master, you have to think of a solution! The general was leading troops to suppress bandits a few days ago, and was accidentally slashed by the pirates. Now his teeth are clenched and he has difficulty eating. The military doctor said that he might have tetanus."

(The name of tetanus was first seen in the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Shenghui Fang")

tetanus!

Zheng Yuannai involuntarily took a few steps back.

He was born into a family of military generals, and although he had never been on the battlefield, he was very familiar with external injuries.

The most feared thing about being wounded by a sword is contracting tetanus.

This disease is said to be caused by external evil entering the blood through a wound.

Sometimes the patient has no injuries to any vital parts of the body and is fine at first, but after a few days, he suddenly finds it difficult to open his mouth. Soon, his teeth clench, and then his face, neck, and even the whole body will twitch frequently.

Later, even the slightest light or sound would cause it to twitch uncontrollably.

Within ten days, he will die from suffocation or high fever.

This is an incurable disease!

Zheng Yuannai felt great pain in his heart.

The father who had spoiled and loved him since childhood and protected him from wind and rain like a towering tree will soon die!

Seeing that he was pale and about to fall, Fan Dayong quickly stood up and supported him:

"Master, you can't be in any danger. The master is counting on you to save his life!"

After many battles, Fan Dayong knew very well how to cheer people up quickly.

As expected, Zheng Yuannai quickly suppressed the grief in his heart:

"I... I don't know any medical skills, how can I save my father..."

"Cihang Temple! Didn't you come back during the Dragon Boat Festival and say that the abbot of Cihang Temple can cure all kinds of diseases and injuries? Go and ask the abbot for help!"

As General Zheng's confidant, Fan Dayong knew about Cihang Temple.

Zheng Yuannai was so anxious just now that he didn't think about this matter at all for a moment.

Hearing this, I was greatly excited:

"Yes, I was so confused that I forgot about the abbot! I will go and ask him to save my father right away!"

Zheng Yuannai did not dare to delay at all. He packed up a precious offering and rushed to Cihang Temple immediately regardless of the fact that it was late at night and there was a heavy rain outside.

After hearing this, his wife Wei only gave him symbolic advice and said that she would also go with her husband to seek medicine.

After all, my father-in-law is the towering tree of the entire family. If he falls, the entire Zheng family will immediately decline.

"I can go by myself, you stay at home and take charge of the situation."

Zheng Yuannai made a decisive statement and immediately got on a carriage and rushed to Cihang Temple in the heavy rain.

The mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk on, and when he arrived at Cihang Temple, it was already after breakfast.

This time, Chen Qingzhu rarely went to practice before finishing his meal.

Instead, he went to inspect the Salesian Hall not far from the Taoist temple.

The main reason for this is that she recently found that her cultivation speed was getting slower and slower, but last night she completely recovered to her previous speed.

The speed bonus is completely gone.

Thinking that she initially gained the speed bonus because she saved those babies, she decided to go to the Salesian Church.
