Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 29 Coma again

The group entered the dark dungeon, which went downstairs, with lights hanging on the walls of the staircase.

Qingying carefully reminded her, "The lighting is poor, Miss Long, please watch your step."

Qingsong, Qingying, and Qingyang walked in front, Xiao Han followed behind her, and Qing Tong and Doctor Yuan brought up the rear.

Xiao Han stepped forward and took her arm: "It's dark and damp here, and the steps are prone to growing moss. Let me help you down."

Long Chuqing wasn't one to be pretentious; she genuinely had difficulty walking, so Xiao Han helped her as they walked towards the dark prison.

They arrived at the cell where Afu was being held. Danzhu and Afu were being held separately; previously, she had been imprisoned directly without her hands or feet being bound.

Because Long Chuqing said she wanted to get close to them today, Qingsong chained her up in the morning to prevent her from being hurt later.

The group arrived at the place where she was being held. When they reached the cell door and looked inside, they saw a woman with disheveled hair and covered in injuries, kneeling with her hands chained to the sides and her feet chained as well. Her head was hanging down.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly raised her head and looked at the crowd. She seemed to have no strength left, her eyes filled with exhaustion and resentment.

When Long Chuqing saw her, her mind went blank. She remembered herself; she had been chained up like this before. That dark memory came crashing down on her like a tidal wave, and fear instantly filled her nerves.

She suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over. She reached out to hold onto the railing, her breathing rapid and labored.

Everyone sensed something was wrong: "Miss Long, what's wrong?"

Someone asked a question, and her mind went blank. After a dizzying moment, Long Chuqing fell into darkness and lost consciousness.

The cane hit the ground with a loud thud, and then Long Chuqing's body went limp and he collapsed.

Xiao Han, who was standing behind her, caught her as she was about to fall. "Miss Long."

Everyone panicked and rushed over to check on her, wondering what had happened and why she had suddenly fainted.

Doctor Yuan hurriedly said, "Let's go outside first and talk about it later."

Xiao Han carried her, and the group left the dark prison, taking her back to Qiushui Pavilion, where Doctor Yuan took her pulse.

After taking Xiao Han's pulse, Doctor Yuan looked serious, stood up, and glanced at him: "Let's talk outside."

Xiao Han instructed Zi Guang to take good care of her, and then went down to the pavilion with Doctor Yuan.

Qingying, Qingyang, and Qingtong were all waiting on the first floor.

After the two sat down in the living room, Dr. Yuan said, "Her pulse is erratic and she is restless. She must have fainted due to stimulation."

Qingyang asked, puzzled, "Stimulation? Is it because the dark prison smells bad and the air is thin?"

The underground dungeon was poorly ventilated, and being a prison cell, the air quality was naturally bad.

Dr. Yuan continued, "It's not caused by the smell. Some medicinal herbs have a very unpleasant smell, and she comes into contact with them, doesn't she?"

Qingying pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that she remembered something bad? I was standing next to her at the time, and when she first saw the maid, her pupils dilated. She was very surprised, no, she was terrified. I happened to see that."

Doctor Yuan looked at Qingying: "Are you sure?"

Qingying nodded with certainty: "I'm sure, I saw it very clearly, it was that look of despair and terror in their eyes."

Doctor Yuan pondered, "Perhaps seeing the maid's appearance suddenly reminded her of something, which triggered her brain, causing her to breathe rapidly and faint."

"We shouldn't make wild guesses. Let's wait and see when she wakes up, and then we can ask her again."

Long Chuqing was once again plunged into that boundless darkness.

She sat in the darkness, cross-legged, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, mentally reviewing the events.

No, no, how could this happen? Where did things go wrong? I clearly stopped caring about that matter and had already forgotten about it, so why am I still feeling so upset?

She rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought, then suddenly clapped her fist with an expression of understanding, and said to herself, "Perhaps it's because I was stuck in that memory while I was unconscious some time ago, going back and forth, which deepened the memory. Hmm, that must be it."

In fact, those days in the dark prison were always her inner demons, a darkness she could never forget. She had been deliberately avoiding it, telling herself that it was okay, that it was all in the past, that she would soon forget it, and that if she was happy in the future, she could cover up the unhappiness of the past.

Many things happened afterward, but the memories of the dark prison were particularly vivid. Perhaps it was because it was the first time I had experienced darkness, so much so that the injuries I suffered later were not worth mentioning.

After she fell into the Heavenly Void Abyss, she would dream of the Dark Prison every night. Every time she woke up, she would tremble all over and be covered in cold sweat, so much so that she dared not sleep, because those scenes would appear as soon as she closed her eyes.

In the Heavenly Void Abyss, she met Fei Feng and Feng Yu, who saved her; otherwise, she would have died long ago.

After escaping from Tianxu Abyss, she came to the human world. She tried to numb herself with hard work, learning all kinds of knowledge and trying all kinds of jobs. As long as she was busy and tired enough, she had no time to think about things.

She drifted along aimlessly for over a decade, and gradually, she stopped consciously trying to recall those days.

She decided to go somewhere else, so she opened a time tunnel and randomly entered a place.

It is the period of an ancient dynasty. When you first learn about this era, you see the decline of imperial power, political darkness and chaos, frequent wars leading to rampant epidemics, social unrest and economic recession.

She transformed into a middle-aged swordsman and began to travel and learn. Before she had traveled to many places, she learned that the country was ravaged by an epidemic that had lasted for nearly forty years and was still spreading.

She had seen the despair in the eyes of those infected with the plague.

I saw the fear and terror in the eyes of a child who had lost both parents.

I've seen the lonely, waiting-to-die look in the eyes of elderly people living alone.

I've seen battlefields strewn with corpses.

I've witnessed families torn apart, wives and children separated, and so on...

At that moment, she suddenly felt relieved. She felt that the past was no longer important. At least she was still alive, and she wanted to live well, try to live a more meaningful life, and if possible, be happier.

Because she has not only witnessed the joys and sorrows of human life, but also seen green mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, snow-capped mountains and grasslands, famous mountains and rivers, and the vast sea where the sky meets the water.

She knew what she had to do. She disguised herself as a traveling doctor and began to venture into the epidemic area to treat patients.

When she was in Tiandu, she studied at the Tian Hospital. It was there that she met Qianyang, who was often injured. She was the one who bandaged his wounds, and they gradually became friends.

She was young then and didn't study hard. She drifted aimlessly for the first few years. Her medical skills weren't good, so she made up her mind to study hard.

She studied while also caring for patients who had no relatives. She was not susceptible to the disease, so she was not afraid.

They treated patients' wounds, prepared and administered medicine, and lived and ate in the epidemic area.

They consulted medical books, sought advice from local barefoot doctors and practitioners, and discussed and researched together.

Gradually, her medical skills improved significantly, and she also spent time in many epidemic areas.

Later, she heard that there was a Mr. Zhang in a distant place who was very skilled in medicine. She went to visit him and learned a lot from him.

Mr. Zhang conducted numerous field investigations and summarized his experiences. Under his leadership, the epidemic was gradually brought under control. Later, the medical books he wrote became famous and benefited people from all walks of life.

After the pandemic ended, Long Chuqing left this place.
