Chapter 453 Supplements
“Yes, we wouldn’t say we’ve traveled the whole world, but we’ve certainly seen a bit of the world. We’ve never heard of any Brahma King being so fond of beautiful women.” Yan Daoxin replied casually, as if he had only heard some rumors about Brahma King, in a teasing tone.

The farmer sighed with worry: "There's a family around here whose son is an apprentice in the capital. He came back to visit his parents before and mentioned some rumors about the capital."

When those rumors were mentioned, his expression immediately became somewhat mysterious: "Some people say that those beauties who were gathered from all over the country and sent to the capital to the Brahma Palace were only seen being sent in, but no one ever saw any of them come out."

"This... isn't surprising, is it? Once she enters the manor, she'll be the prince's favored concubine! If she's not kept in the inner quarters, does she have to constantly show herself in public for outsiders to see?" Yan Daoxin said with an attitude that she didn't take it seriously.

“You’re right, that’s true. I’ve only heard people talking about it; we don’t really know what’s going on.” The farmer grinned ingratiatingly at Yan Daoxin, not daring to argue with him too seriously. “That kid said that many people in the capital are talking about it in private.”

They said that our prince had contracted some strange illness and, in order to save his life, he had resorted to some evil magic that nourished yin and replenished yang, thus requiring many women to help him prolong his life.

They said those beauties were brought into the Prince's mansion not because they were favored by the Prince, nor were they to be his concubines. The Prince was too old to indulge in nightly revelry, and those women... those women were all... devoured by the Prince, used as nourishment..."

The farmer himself seemed to believe the rumor to some extent. At this point, he couldn't help but shudder, then continued, "Actually, this kind of story sounds rather creepy, and many people don't really believe it, but..."

But what happened next is something you've all witnessed.

Where would we, in our tiny Brahma Kingdom, find so many beauties?

When they couldn't find beautiful women, they started randomly grabbing young, unmarried girls.

Later on, even young, unmarried women became hard to find; those men even started abducting other people's young wives...

That's why everyone's getting more and more scared. Except for elderly mothers who might still dare to go out for a short while, all the other daughters, sisters, and wives have to hide themselves.

Everyone can dig cellars and make secret rooms in their homes, but as you just saw, they even ransacked my cellar just because of a piece of clothing my wife wore when she was alive…”

The farmer sighed heavily and shook his head: "If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no women left in our Brahma Kingdom..."

“No wonder,” Lu Qing nodded after hearing his reflection. “When we were at the pass, we saw notices posted there seeking medical help.”

However, we are all of a carefree and unconventional nature, and we don't like to associate with those royal relatives, princes, and ministers. We only glanced at them briefly and didn't pay them much attention.

"That's right! Luckily, none of you had that intention, otherwise I would have had to advise you not to covet any great wealth or mountains of gold and silver!" The farmer patted his chest. "If it's a curable illness, why would we need to go around grabbing women to prolong our lives?"

Don't be fooled by how generous they seem, how much gold and silver they're willing to give. If they can't cure the illness, they might lose their heads!
I see that you all possess extraordinary bearing and kind hearts, and I do not wish to see you in any danger. Our Brahmaland is far from peaceful right now. Why don't you all pass through here, bypass the capital, and head directly elsewhere?

Let me add one more thing: after you leave here, don't ever tell anyone outside that you're a doctor!
"If they really can't catch the woman, and then they turn around and look for doctors, then you'll be in danger."

“It seems we haven’t encountered any doctors along the way,” Lu Qing said to Yan Daoxin, seemingly agreeing with the farmer’s suggestion.

“If you had come a year earlier, you would have met at least seven or eight doctors along the way, if not every one of them, who had heard the news from elsewhere and rushed here specifically to find a doctor,” the farmer sighed. “I didn’t see anyone actually coming out to arrest doctors, but…”

For the past six months or so, there have been almost no doctors traveling great distances to treat the prince.

Yan Daoxin looked at the farmer and saw that he was genuinely worried. This worry had nothing to do with his children; it seemed that he really didn't want them to encounter any misfortune in the territory of the Brahma Kingdom.

So he rummaged in his sleeve for a while before pulling out a gourd, counting out five pills, and handed it to the farmer: "Your son doesn't have any serious illness. Judging from his pulse, it's just that the pain of losing his mother is too heavy for the little boy to bear, so his qi can't be released and it's all stagnant."

Crush this medicine yourself, roll it into small pills, ten pills in total, and store them carefully. Dissolve them in hot water each day and give them to him while they're still hot. Once he's finished them all, he should be almost done.

The farmer was overjoyed. He thought that after the commotion, Yan Daoxin would no longer try to help him take a look at his child, probably because Yan Daoxin didn't want to get involved in this matter and he was too embarrassed to ask again.

But looking at the medicine, he hesitated, "Miracle doctor... how much... is this?"

“Take it if I give it to you. When did I tell you I was selling medicine?” Yan Daoxin glanced at him. “I travel around. Wherever I go, I charge rich people more when I practice medicine. I don’t charge those who are poor but kind-hearted.”

The farmer was stunned. He hadn't expected that the other party would not only have a preconceived notion about his child's condition, but also generously offer him medicine. Overwhelmed with joy, he felt as if he had been given medicine by heaven, and he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down on the ground.

Yan Daoxin pulled him up abruptly: "What are you doing kneeling! I only gave you a few pills, your son hasn't even taken them yet, and it's not even certain if they'll work. And you're already in a hurry to kneel and thank me?!"

Get up quickly! If the child really gets better after eating, have him come and thank me in person the next time we pass by here!

The farmer was so excited that his face turned red, and he nodded repeatedly, choking back tears.

Over the past two years, he has been both anxious and saddened as he watched his youngest son. He feared that the child would live a muddled life, constantly clinging to his deceased mother's clothes, or else he would cry and refuse to eat or drink. What would become of him then?

Unexpectedly, he received medicine from a traveling doctor by sheer chance today, which undoubtedly rekindled a glimmer of hope for him.
