Lin Xiaodong looked at the mysterious ice coffin in the center of the room and vaguely saw a young woman with long hair reaching her waist lying in it.
Bai Yuquan walked to the ice coffin and said with a sad look on his face: "This is my daughter. When she was seriously injured and dying, she was about the same age as Lan Ruo now.
"Lin Xiaodong followed and saw that Bai Yuquan's daughter's eyebrows did have some resemblance to Lan Ruo, and she was considered a beauty.
It's just that she is lying motionless in the ice coffin, as if she is asleep, without any reaction to the sounds from the outside world.
As soon as Lin Xiaodong saw her like this, he knew that this was a very difficult situation.
If there is no special medicine to treat him, there is nothing he can do even if he takes action.
Bai Yuquan stroked the ice coffin, looked at his daughter through it, and said: "She had her cervical vertebra broken in a battle a few years ago, and she had many other injuries, large and small.
I took her to look for countless saints in the apricot forest, but the answers I got were that she had no cure, and they all advised me to take her home and bury her properly.
But how can I be willing to do so?
This is my only precious daughter! Fortunately, she has a strong will to survive, but she fell into a long-term coma. I asked an old friend for this mysterious ice coffin, and sealed her here for me to find.
Time for treatment.”
Lan Ruo poked Lin Xiaodong, asking him to think about whether there was any way. If he could think of a way, it would be a good thing for both him and Bai Yuquan.
As long as Bai Yuquan's daughter is saved, he will definitely be grateful to Lin Xiaodong, and he will definitely agree to the parchment matter.
However, Lin Xiaodong shook his head and said: "Her injuries are too serious, and it has been so many years. My medical skills alone cannot save her. I must prepare other things..." Although Bai Yuquan is old, his ears
She was still quite sensitive and listened to his words.
"It seems that you are just like Lan Ruo said. Your medical skills are quite good. You can know the general situation at just one glance.
My daughter really needs some special medicine now to save her."
"What medicinal materials?"
Bai Yuquan looked at his sleeping daughter and said, "Dragon Snake Grass."
Dragon Snake Grass is an herb that grows in swamps. The growing environment needs to be very humid, and Qianshui City just meets this condition.
When Bai Yuquan came to Qianshui City, he heard that there were traces of dragon snake grass here, so he came here specifically to look for it.
Unfortunately, after several years of searching, we still haven't found its whereabouts.
As long as you have Dragon Snake Grass, any injury can be easily cured. Legend has it that it can even revive the dead and make flesh and bones white. However, the output is too rare, so few people know about it.
Even the Fu family, a well-known alchemy family, only made simple records of it and had never seen it with their own eyes.
Lin Xiaodong thought for a while, he did know about the dragon snake grass, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't even have one on him! "This dragon snake grass, I'm afraid it is quite difficult to find..." Hearing this, Bai Yuquan's
The back suddenly seemed much older: "Yes, I have been in Qianshui City for a few years, and I have visited all the places where Dragon Snake Grass may grow, but I haven't found anything.
I also visited every family that might have a collection of dragon snake grass, but found nothing."
Lin Xiaodong thought to himself, this is a sure thing. The efficacy of dragon snake grass is so incredible. Even if people have it, it has been passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. How could it be given to you?
Bai Yuquan was secretly sad. After spending so many years, he still got nothing. It really made him physically and mentally exhausted and despairing.
You know, he is his daughter's only relative in the world, and after so many years, he is getting old. Seeing that the possibility of saving his daughter is getting smaller and smaller, how can he not despair?
"Hey, look at me, guests always talk about sad things like this when they come.
Forget it, let's go sit in the living room, I heard that you still have something to ask me for help, right?"
The three of them came to the living room and sat down, and then Lin Xiaodong said: "Yes, senior, I have something I want to ask you for help with.
I heard that you traveled around the world when you were young and knew many places, so I would like to ask you to help me take a look at this thing..." After saying that, he took out the parchment and handed it to Bai Yuquan.
In fact, he still felt a little uneasy at this time. If even Bai Yuquan didn't know the inside story about the parchment, then no one else in Qianshui City might know.
When the time comes, the world is so big, where can we find the news about this parchment?
Fortunately, Bai Yuquan took the sheepskin scroll and glanced at it a few times, then asked in surprise: "Where did you get this sheepskin scroll? It must not be a normal way, right?"
You should know that there is still a strong corpse smell on this sheepskin roll, and it must have been dug out of the soil recently.
So, Lin Xiaodong told him about Lao Liu's tomb robbery, body touching, and later being hunted down, and Bai Yuquan felt relieved.
"As long as you didn't dig it up yourself, I despise those who disturb the peace of the corpse the most.
In that case, let me help you take a look!"
Bai Yuquan took the parchment and looked at it for a long time, but his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He actually thought that the contents of this parchment would be easy to decipher, but later he realized that he had overthought it.
Although the writing on this parchment looked very familiar, it was not that at all. It was probably a variation of some writing he knew.
Of course, it is also possible that the ciphertext is compiled using this kind of text, which would be more complicated and cannot be figured out in a short time.
In short, he couldn't decipher the text for a while now, so he had to say: "The text on this parchment is more complicated than I thought. It may take me some time to decipher it."
Seeing that he really had some insights into the parchment scrolls, Lin Xiaodong said excitedly: "Then I'll leave it to you, senior, time is not a problem, as long as you know the information on it!"
Bai Yuquan hesitated for a moment and said: "Although I can help you for Lan Ruo's sake, I will still charge the most basic fee."
Money is not a problem for Lin Xiaodong. In addition to his own savings, Qin Shaoyuan also gave him a lot of money before. It can be said that he is not short of money at all now.
He was about to say yes, but was interrupted by Lan Ruoxian.
"It's okay, senior, money is not a problem at all. Even if Lin Xiaodong can't afford it, I can help him pay it off.
