Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Old Uncle Qiu in a Dilemma Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Old Uncle Qiu in a Dilemma Doctor Wang’s prescribed herbal decoction was already boiling, but at this moment, things had changed, and no one knew what to do with the arsenic.

After all, though arsenic can expel phlegm and arrest malaria, an indispensable catalyst in the treatment of malaria, it is also the main ingredient in refining arsenic trioxide.

If the dosage is used carelessly, it will result in death, so everyone dared not touch it and could only watch the stone anxiously.

Just then, a young girl came over and said calmly, “Arsenic won’t be processed so quickly, let everyone drink some medicine to control the situation first.”

Everyone was stunned.

“You… do you know how?”

The girl in front of them was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, looking completely unconvincing.

“Although Miss Junjun is young, she…”

Old Uncle Qiu hadn’t finished when Bai Junjun pulled at him with a smile.

“Master, this is what you taught me.”

“?” Old Uncle Qiu was bewildered.

“You just told me to smash the arsenic and wrap it in white flour, then put it in the pot to stir-fry until the white flour turns yellow, then peel it off to retrieve the arsenic stone, and afterwards add it in proper amounts to the herbal medicine. I have a good memory and I’m sure I haven’t gotten it wrong.”

Bai Junjun recited the prescription earnestly.

“???” Old Uncle Qiu was still confused.

Old Uncle Qiu didn’t understand what was happening, but the rest of the people got it.

The crowd all turned their eyes upon the elder in unison.

It had crossed the minds of the team, with the recent addition of the hunter’s family, to pay some attention.

After all, Old Uncle Qiu brought along a formidable family of nine, including four adult men and himself, and they all carried bows and arrows, tying knives to the bundles of firewood. Even the children had bows and arrows or slingshots, and compared to ordinary people, they were armed to the teeth.

That such a family could escape unharmed from the predicament just then spoke to their abilities and strength.

It was thought they were merely a highly capable hunter’s family, but who would have thought the hunter also knew the Qihuang Technique.

And from the young girl’s tone, it seemed she was not his granddaughter, but his apprentice?

If he could take on an apprentice, he must not be much inferior to Doctor Wang, right?

Thus, the way the people looked at Old Uncle Qiu changed.

Old Uncle Qiu felt even more uncomfortable under such deep, affectionate gazes from everyone.

Pretending to be calm, he coughed and said with poor acting skills, “I should discuss this further.”

Old Uncle Qiu then pulled Bai Junjun aside.

“Miss Junjun, what are you doing?”

Bai Junjun replied calmly, “As you see, the team has suffered heavy losses. Even though the Seven-Person Team took men for revenge, we still need someone like Doctor Wang, a glue to keep everyone hopeful and moving forward.

However, my age and experience are not sufficient to reassure everyone. Only with you leading, will they listen.”

“But I don’t know how.” Old Uncle Qiu was bewildered.

He could handle common injuries or minor illnesses, but this was beyond his knowledge.

“No problem, I will be by your side to give you pointers.”

Bai Junjun gave him a rare mischievous wink.

At this moment, Old Uncle Qiu felt he had no other choice but to pretend to be a skilled doctor.

However, even though he had learned the method to process arsenic, it was like a clever woman who could not cook without rice.

After all, you need white flour to process the arsenic, where would one procure white flour in these times?

“I’ll go look in the Bandit Stronghold,” Bai Junjun calmly replied.

“What?” Old Uncle Qiu’s eyes widened: “No, no, that place is perilous, how can a young girl risk such danger.”

“It’s fine, aren’t you confident in my abilities? Don’t forget, I’m the one who killed the bandit leader with an arrow.”
