Chapter 296: Chapter 295 Talent Selection_1

Considering that Qin Yi had been busy all day, Su Pan’er presumed that he must have been tired. So, she didn’t think much of his strange behavior and went to sleep after washing up.

Whilst she was fast asleep, Qin Yi’s eyes suddenly shot open. He silently observed her, his look complicated. After a long while, he let out a gentle sigh and closed his eyes to sleep.

As dawn broke across the sky, Su Pan’er left her room.

As was her usual routine, she went for a jog outside. When she returned, the day had just begun to brighten, and there was already a crowd in front of the old Qin family house.

They had come for the cowpox vaccination.

Without any pretension, she quickly ate her breakfast, then resumed yesterday’s routine with Qin Yi, one drafting the life-or-death statement and the other performing the vaccination.

Perhaps her discourse from yesterday had shifted everyone’s focus. The number of people seeking Su Pan’er to administer the cowpox vaccine was still large, but there were even more people under the ruins not far from the old Qin family house.

The clan leader and Su Hai hadn’t rested since last night. Both of them had dark circles under their red, sleep-deprived eyes, yet they looked extremely excited.

After the two of them returned home last night, they were incessantly pestered by their clansmen.

Understandably so, as this was a great opportunity to learn medical techniques - especially one as vital as vaccination. Who would want to miss out?

Luckily, not many clansmen were literate, so even though the quarrelling was intense, it was not fatal.

It wasn’t easy for them to finally pacify their clansmen. Once the villagers living nearby heard the news, they rushed over too.

In the middle of the night, the clan leader and Su Hai’s houses were knocked on. The two of them were forcibly pulled from their beds and discussed matters for quite a while.

Thankfully, the two of them were shrewd and handled the situation smoothly, naturally including various distribution of benefits.

The details were not worth mentioning to outsiders!

As dawn broke, the two of them hurriedly brought their selected ten candidates to Su Pan’er.

Unexpectedly, on their way, they were surrounded by people from the surrounding villages who had heard the news overnight...

Compared to them, Jun Ruochen, who also had a quota of ten people for the vaccination study, seemed much more relaxed. He had calmly had a good night’s sleep.

When it was bright, he finished washing and left his room. His eyes lit up immediately.

Last night, it was late, and he didn’t have enough time to take a careful look. Only now did he realize that this residence was somewhat unique.

Although the residence was only just beginning to take shape, the expansive area it covered, the towering walls, the unusually and exquisitely designed houses, the flowing water under the small bridge, and the sporadic rockery of the garden could be observed.

Even if it were only half-finished, it was enough to show the elegance and simplicity of this house.

"Truly incredible! I can’t believe that such a house could be built in such a rural area!"

Even though Jun Ruochen had grown up in the bustling city of Shengjing, he couldn’t help but admire the uniqueness of this house!

"The house is indeed nice, but the location seems to be a problem."

Hwa Diexiang looked troubled as she pointed to the mountain behind them: "Deicide Mountain erupts with a surge of beasts every sixty years. Building a house here, once the beast tide erupts, I’m afraid it will be the first to bear the brunt. This isn’t very good!"

Jun Ruochen looked carefully for quite a while and nodded, "You’re right. It’s a pity, a real pity."

What’s the most important thing when building a house?

Naturally, it’s to have a good location.

This place is close to Deicide Mountain, and Deicide Mountain is a dangerous place. Even if the house is built beautifully, it can be destroyed by a beast tide. Why should one spend so much manpower and resources in building it?

"Perhaps Mr. Qin and Doctor Su have their considerations!"

Jun Ruochen casually spoke: "That’s right. Yesterday, Doctor Su mentioned selecting ten people to learn the method of vaccinations. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

"Do we need to select? Just release the message that those who learn the method of vaccinations can get vaccinated first. After learning, they can go to several nearby villages and Lin County to vaccinate the villagers. If they are willing to register and can read and calculate, they can register. We can then select the best."

Hwa Diexiang stated simply.

Which made Jun Ruochen nod repeatedly: "Fine, we’ll do as you said!"

Three groups of people went their separate ways, and were each surrounded by people. The selected candidates were first decided, then disrupted by sudden newcomers, then decided again, and then disrupted again.

Watching the sunset, the final candidate had not yet decided.

No matter how many people in nearby villages, they would eventually be exhausted.

After being busy yesterday, by evening, the line of people waiting for vaccinations in front of the old Qin family house was significantly reduced.

On the contrary, the groups around the clan leader and Su Hai were almost mountainous.

Both of them were equally tired, but the smiles on their faces were brilliantly bright, just like chrysanthemums blooming in the autumn wind, blooming against the wind.

Such adoring treatment from the crowd had indeed made them feel very content!

The moon rose and set, and a night slowly passed.

By the time the third day came, all three groups appeared in front of Su Pan’er with their respective candidates.

At first glance, Su Pan’er saw that most of these thirty people looked like scholars, thin and weak, yet full of vitality.

Su Pan’er nodded her head, turned around, and whispered to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi then stepped forward, thought for a moment, and posed a question for the final test.

"The sentence ’If it’s not right, don’t promise hastily. If you promise hastily, you’ll make mistakes in your progress and retreat.’ - where does it come from? Write it down and explain its detailed interpretation. Don’t stand there, take the brush and start! Remember to leave your name on the paper."

Qin Yi spoke clearly and decisively.

This sentence is a warning phrase in the "Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child", the meaning of which is "Do not promise hastily to requests that are unreasonable and things you cannot do; if you promise hastily, you’ll put yourself in a dilemma."

Su Pan’er’s intention was straightforward. Although learning the method of vaccinations seemed ordinary, it was after all within the realm of medical techniques. Being literate was a must. The "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child" are all starter books of this era. Those who could write them from memory were at least not entirely uneducated.

All thirty people rushed forward, each grabbed a brush and ink, and began writing fervently.

There were people who scrambled and cheated in the process, and Su Pan’er took note.

Jun Ruochen, Su Hai, and the clan leader understood her intention and did not speak.

Qin Yi walked slowly behind the people who were writing with his hands clasped behind his back. He quickly remembered the situations of everyone in his mind.

Once everyone had handed in what they had written, he carefully checked it over again.

He then approached Su Pan’er, and the two discussed quietly for a while, and the final candidates were decided.

"Your Excellency, learning this vaccination method may appear simple, but indeed it falls under the category of medical techniques. Though we don’t need them to be scholars, they must at the very least be able to read. This is the most basic requirement."

Su Pan’er handed over the list of selected candidates: "Everyone understands the question that Qin Yi just posed. It’s a simple phrase from the basic enlightenment textbook, the ’Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child’. Twenty-three people successfully wrote it from memory, they pass in the name of medical rigor. The people who successfully wrote it without missing a word are Zhang Liang, Lu An..."
