All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Hahahaha!

Chapter Nine: The Coincidence of the Chosen One

Liu Bang's visit lasted only about ten minutes, and no one noticed.

Seeing the full water jug ​​next to Yi Xiaochuan, Liu Bang's lips curled into a sinister smile of triumph.

Han Chunming didn't point it out, not because he wanted to see Yi Xiaochuan die.

There were two reasons. The first was that he wanted to verify his guess and see if the miracle doctor Cui Wenzi would appear in a coincidental way after Yi Xiaochuan was infected with the plague.

In the original drama, when Yi Xiaochuan was dying, Yi Xiaochuan wanted to eat a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. In order to fulfill Yi Xiaochuan's wish, Lü Su went to the city to inquire whether the dish was available.

As a result, Cui Wenzi unexpectedly ran into Gao Yao, who worked as a chef in a small restaurant. Even more "coincidentally," Cui Wenzi stayed at his restaurant for two days, and Gao Yao "coincidentally" remembered that there was such a doctor in his restaurant.

So they invited Cui Wenzi to treat Yi Xiaochuan, and there were too many "coincidences" involved.

So Han Chunming wanted to try it out: if there was no Lü Su in this world, only Lü Zhi, would he also coincidentally meet Gao Yao, and then coincidentally meet Cui Wenzi in the end?

If his guess is correct, no matter how the plot is changed, Cui Wenzi will eventually appear by coincidence.

That only proves one thing: all these coincidences are not real coincidences, but rather seem to be controlled by an invisible force.

Regardless of whether Cui Wenzi was the mastermind behind it all, she was at least one of the most important pawns, and perhaps even one of the architects of the scheme.

As for the second reason he didn't reveal, it was the reason why Liu Bang poisoned Liu Bang.

It's very simple; he can also cure this plague.

Countless plagues occurred in every dynasty in ancient times. Many diseases were not as serious as imagined, and most were caused by poor hygiene.

The plague that is now appearing could be completely cured in one course of treatment in later generations, but in this era, it can be cured in just two or three days with the help of special herbal medicine.

Han Chunming did not try to become a miracle doctor and demonstrate his miraculous medical skills. In this era, he did not yet have much of a sense of identity.

The most crucial point is that he is still somewhat unfamiliar with this world and doesn't feel a sense of security. He's not afraid of real weapons, but he's most afraid of the unknown.

This world is currently unknown to him, and the unknown inevitably makes people feel insecure.

The next morning, Yi Xiaochuan naturally opened the kettle and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water to rinse his mouth.

He then downed a few more mouthfuls of water. The kettle was quickly emptied, which made Liu Bang stare wide-eyed. Yi Xiaochuan noticed the strange look in Liu Bang's eyes and quickly joked with him.

"Brother, let me tell you, you need to drink more water. Doctors say that an adult must drink eight glasses of water a day. A glass of water in the morning cleanses the intestines and keeps you feeling refreshed all day!"

As he spoke, Yi Xiaochuan stretched and embraced the sunlight outside the dilapidated temple.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bang immediately put aside his worries and began organizing everyone to pack their luggage in preparation for departure.

Lü Zhi stepped out from behind the partition and walked over to Yi Xiaochuan in a very familiar manner, giving him a sweet smile. Upon seeing Lü Zhi, Yi Xiaochuan sighed and began packing his luggage, preparing to leave.

Lü Zhi rushed over to help, but Yi Xiaochuan ignored her. He was determined to get rid of Lü Zhi, but she clung to him like a leech, leaving him helpless.

Lü Zhi was still dressed as a man. Lü Zhi's personality was such that once she set her mind on something, she would definitely achieve her goal.

Lu Zhi didn't feel embarrassed at all by Yi Xiaochuan's current resistance to her. She believed in herself and was sure that she could make Yi Xiaochuan fall in love with her and eventually marry her willingly.

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's attitude towards Lü Zhi, Liu Bang's earlier feelings of guilt vanished instantly.

This pretty boy is so lucky, he doesn't know how good he has it. He must die!

One person's love story, a drama involving three people, Han Chunming, with a blade of grass in his mouth, watches the show unfold.

Liu Bang led his men on a quick journey, but instead of hurrying along, he made an excuse about having diarrhea and dawdled for most of the day before finally setting off again.

Throughout the journey, Liu Bang kept observing Yi Xiaochuan's every move, hoping that he would contract the disease soon.

Persistence pays off. Less than ten miles from the dilapidated temple, Yi Xiaochuan clutched his stomach and cried out in pain, forcing everyone to stop again.

Yi Xiaochuan hurriedly ran to the grove, and after a long time, he walked out of the grove weakly. When Lü Zhi saw this, she felt sorry for him and went to help him up.

Yi Xiaochuan was completely exhausted and unable to resist. He was helped by Lü Zhi to sit down and rest.

And so, the group set off once again, but Yi Xiaochuan's complexion grew worse and worse. His face turned pale, his lips cracked, and there was even a foul odor emanating from his mouth and nose.

Yi Xiaochuan was completely dejected, and Lü Zhi was supporting him with great difficulty.

Around noon, Lü Zhi perhaps remembered that Han Chunming knew medicine, and begged him to take a look.

Han Chunming already knew the outcome. He had collected a lot of herbs along the way, but now was not the time for him to take them out.

He stepped forward pretending to check, then turned to the crowd with a stern face.

"It's highly likely that Ogawa has contracted the plague!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, everyone took three steps back. Liu Bang's lips unconsciously curled up when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal, then turned into a look of grief, throwing himself in front of Yi Xiaochuan and shouting.

"Brother, brother, you can't die! Brother, you should rest well first, and I'll go and fetch a doctor to treat you right now!"

After saying this, Liu Bang wiped away his crocodile tears, then stood up and shouted to the crowd.

"I'll go fetch a doctor for my brother first. Everyone, please eat and rest here for now, and we'll set off this afternoon!"

The laborers had mixed feelings and could only obey Liu Bang's arrangements.

Although she knew that Han Chunming was a very good doctor, Liu Bang said he would go to the city to fetch a doctor, and Lü Zhi did not stop him.

Upon hearing that Yi Xiaochuan was infected with the plague, Lü Zhi was completely stunned.

She still refused to believe it and wanted Liu Bang to invite other doctors to confirm it!

Han Chunming remained calm and composed, showing no anger, and let them go.

Liu Bang already knew that Yi Xiaochuan was the source of the plague, but he still pretended to go to the city in person to invite a doctor. Besides trying to win people's hearts, he also wanted to confirm it once again.

Once the city doctor confirms it's a plague, he'll have an excuse to abandon Yi Xiaochuan. Otherwise, abandoning Yi Xiaochuan now would make everyone somewhat uncomfortable.

After two hours of back and forth, Liu Bang finally managed to bring over a doctor from the city.

The doctor bent down and began to examine Yi Xiaochuan's body. Liu Bang did not mention that Yi Xiaochuan had been infected with the plague at first, but only said that he had suddenly fallen ill.

The doctor took his pulse, frowned slightly, and then began to touch his forehead. Just as he was still somewhat puzzled, Yi Xiaochuan suddenly shouted hoarsely at him.

"Doctor, how...how is my illness?"

The doctor was so frightened by the stench emanating from Yi Xiaochuan's breath that he fell to the ground and quickly crawled back several meters before covering his mouth and nose and shouting at him.

"This person is infected with the plague! Why don't you throw him away quickly? There's no cure for this disease. If you wait any longer, you'll all get infected!"

After saying this, the doctor hurriedly walked out, ignoring Liu Bang who was shouting loudly behind him.

Liu Bang called out twice, and seeing the doctor walking further and further away, he quickly turned back with a distressed expression and said to the crowd.

"My poor, dear brother, you've contracted the plague at such a young age. I'm so sorry!"

Then Liu Bang continued.

"For everyone's sake, we have no other choice but to resort to this measure. When I return from Xianyang, I will definitely build you a new grave to fulfill my wish as your elder brother."

With tears in his eyes, Liu Bang's emotions were so deep and sincere that they moved everyone who heard them to tears, and the laborers all praised Liu Bang's benevolence and righteousness!

Seeing that the performance was almost over, Liu Bang turned to Lü Zhi, who was already heartbroken, and said...

“Young Miss, my brother is beyond saving. You should come with us as soon as possible. Once we reach Xianyang, I will take you home.”

At this moment, Lü Zhi was utterly despondent. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan lying on the ground, waiting to die, the grief and despair in her heart made her unable to think.

Why is God so unfair?

She had finally managed to be with Young Master Yi, but the time was so short. Overwhelmed with grief, Lü Zhi was somewhat disoriented.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bang quickly summoned two men to pull Lü Zhi away from Yi Xiaochuan.

Liu Bang swiftly cut the hemp rope with his sword, hurriedly told everyone to start their journey, left Yi Xiaochuan under a tree, and then hastily departed.

But no one noticed that Han Chunming had quietly left the crowd.

When Liu Bang discovered that Han Chunming was missing, he was only slightly surprised and then paid no further attention to it. In any case, he had already achieved his goal, so it didn't matter that the passerby was gone.

Han Chunming gave Yi Xiaochuan some water and then left him to his own devices, letting him lie under the tree in a semi-conscious state.

He wanted to see if so many coincidences would occur if he didn't save Yi Xiaochuan.

Han Chunming lay down on the trunk of a large tree not far away and began to wait quietly.

They waited until late at night, until around midnight, when a figure stumbled over and fell in front of Yi Xiaochuan. The person lay on top of Yi Xiaochuan and cried for a long time.

But at this moment, Yi Xiaochuan was barely breathing and had long since lost consciousness.

The person who arrived was none other than Lü Zhi. Han Chunming looked at the scene below and was immediately puzzled. Were the Lü sisters both so sentimental?

He didn't show himself either, and continued to observe.

After crying her fill, Lü Zhi struggled to carry Yi Xiaochuan on her back and began to stagger forward. When they arrived at a dilapidated temple, Lü Zhi began to settle Yi Xiaochuan in.

Despite being a lady from a prominent family, Lü Zhi displayed a strength and willpower that moved Han Chunming.

She began searching for wood, and using a half-broken earthenware pot she had found, she started cooking millet porridge. She also began boiling water to wipe Yi Xiaochuan's body clean.

Lü Zhi took meticulous care of Yi Xiaochuan, just like a wife.

Unfortunately, Yi Xiaochuan is now in a coma, and he knows nothing about Lü Zhi's good intentions.

Han Chunming would occasionally take advantage of the gaps when Lü Zhi was away to check on Yi Xiaochuan's physical condition.

Of course, he couldn't possibly let Yi Xiaochuan die right now. The two had no grudges against each other, and besides, they were both modern people, so Han Chunming wouldn't just stand by and watch.

He's now just using Yi Xiaochuan as bait to see if anyone will take the bait.

As long as Yi Xiaochuan is still alive and can be saved, he will not make a move. He is waiting to see if those coincidences will actually happen.

Three more days passed, and Lü Zhi did not give up on Yi Xiaochuan during these three days, successively going to the city to invite three doctors to come.

But after the money was spent, all the doctors who saw Yi Xiaochuan's condition were scared away.

She didn't have much money to begin with, and now she's pawned all her jewelry. Meanwhile, Yi Xiaochuan's illness is getting worse, and he's been in a coma for most of the time lately.

Han Chunming was also puzzled. Yi Xiaochuan was about to die, but the expected coincidence still hadn't occurred.

Han Chunming decided to wait another day. If Cui Wenzi didn't show up, he would rescue Yi Xiaochuan.

He had already realized that Lü Zhi had also been infected and was now only holding on by sheer willpower.

The next day, Yi Xiaochuan finally woke up slowly. He was somewhat disoriented and unsure how long he had been unconscious. When he got up, he saw someone lying next to him, none other than Lü Zhi.

When Lü Zhi saw that Yi Xiaochuan had regained consciousness, she quickly called out with joy.
