The situation on the winding mountain road of the Zamo Highway became complicated after Yang Lin forcibly conscripted four passing white-legged wild oxen.
On one side was the overturned bus, on the other, the wild oxen, and then Yang Lin and his group preparing to commence rescue operations.
Just as Teacher Xiao Liang and the other two appeared somewhat at a loss, Yang Lin retrieved a tow rope from the bus.
"Stop standing there like fools, help me secure the rope."
"Huh? Secure the rope? Where?"
"Where else? To their necks, of course," Yang Lin replied matter-of-factly.
"To their necks!"
Although they had suspected as much, as soon as the task was at hand, the group panicked. This was especially true after seeing the robust bodies of the white-legged wild oxen.
They had no doubt that a single kick from a wild ox could instantly send them to the afterlife, without even a moment to feel pain.
"Director Yang... perhaps you should handle this. We're scared."
After much hesitation, Teacher Xiao Liang remained visibly apprehensive.
He dared to approach the animals in the zoo, but he truly didn't dare to touch wild oxen.
Seeing the three hesitant to approach with the rope, Yang Lin had to snatch it from them.
"Fine, I'll do it. You two are responsible for tossing the rope over the tree trunk up there to create a simple pulley system, and then tie the other end of the rope to the bus."
Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, the three were as if granted a general amnesty.
"Alright, we'll get on it right away."
As soon as they spoke, the three took the rope and proceeded as Yang Lin instructed.
In just two minutes, the tow rope was secured to the wild oxen, the large tree, and the bus.
Once all preparations were complete, Yang Lin gave a pat on the hindquarters of each of the four wild oxen.
The next second, the oxen slowly began to walk forward.
Tremendous force was instantly transmitted through the rope.
Witnessed by the four present, the bus, which had been lying on its side, was gradually being pulled upright.
At this moment, everyone held their breath until the bus was completely upright.
The moment all four of its wheels touched the ground, Yang Lin shouted for the four white-legged wild oxen to stop.
Instantly, the wild oxen, who had been exerting force, immediately ceased.
Seeing this scene, Teacher Xiao Liang and the other two were left speechless, only managing to exclaim, "Awesome."
"Director Yang, your influence is indeed great. I never expected the animals of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to show you respect."
"Your reputation must have spread throughout the animal kingdom by now."
"Alright, alright, stop with the flattery. Let's focus on rescuing people first."
"Right, right."
As they spoke, the four quickly sprang into action.
Upon opening the bus doors, they immediately rescued the people inside.
However, the four soon discovered a grave problem: the injuries of several passengers seemed to be quite severe.
If not treated immediately, they might die on the spot.
Realizing this, Teacher Xiao Liang and the other two immediately turned their gaze to Yang Lin.
Under their stares, Yang Lin immediately felt a sense of unease.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm a veterinarian, I can't treat people."
"No, no, Director Yang, don't be modest. You've cured so many severely injured animals before, your medical skills are recognized online."
"Exactly. Humans are just a more advanced form of animal. If you can treat animals, you can surely treat people."
"It's no time to distinguish between human and animal, let's save them first. Don't worry, no one will pursue you for practicing without a license."
"It's not about practicing without a license..."
Before Yang Lin could finish speaking, a severely injured passenger coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Looking at the injured minor, a flicker of unbearable pain crossed Yang Lin's brow.
He truly wanted to save these people, but unfortunately, the treatment skills granted by the system could only be used on animals other than humans; they were ineffective on humans.
"No, although active skills can definitely be used on humans, other skills might be able to help them."
Suddenly, Yang Lin recalled a new passive effect that had been added to the skill "Child of the Mountains and Forests."
This passive effect granted him a new ability: a special perception of plants.
Among the vast array of plants, there was a special category: medicinal herbs.
With this thought, he glanced at the dense forest bordering the highway.
Undoubtedly, this dense forest contained a large number of rare traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.
When injured in the wild, some animals would naturally seek out beneficial medicinal herbs to treat their wounds.
Even domestic dogs possessed this ability.
"Alright, I'll try my best, but I need to go collect some medicinal herbs nearby. I'll be back soon. You call for rescue first."
After saying this, Yang Lin, accompanied by the four wild oxen who had completed their rescue task, headed into the surrounding dense forest.
Once inside the dense forest, the passive ability of "Child of the Mountains and Forests" immediately came into play. The entire forest was within his perception.
Soon, some wild animals living in the forest began to appear around him.
By questioning these animals, he quickly found some plants beneficial for treating injuries.
Furthermore, as he collected these plants, information would automatically appear in his mind.
This information included the plant's name, growing conditions, toxicity, and various effects.
With the information provided by the animals and the passive ability of "Child of the Mountains and Forests," Yang Lin had effectively become a herb collector intimately familiar with the medicinal properties of various plants.
In just a few minutes, he had gathered a large pile of medicinal herbs, including a Ganoderma lucidum the size of a human face.
When he returned to the highway with these herbs, Teacher Xiao Liang and the others showed no surprise.
"Director Yang, and you say you don't know medicine."
"Stop kidding. Quickly, do as I say and process these herbs."
"Apply this seed to the wound to stop bleeding, extract the juice from this one for the patient to drink, grind this one into powder..."
Although Yang Lin was unaware of the pharmacological principles, he was fully aware of the efficacy of these herbs.
After his interventions, the severely injured patients immediately showed signs of relief, at least temporarily preventing them from dying.
Seeing that all his treatment methods had produced results, Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
He had been worried that his haphazard use of medicine might have killed someone.
"Indeed, traditional Chinese medicine passed down from our ancestors is still potent. It seems I need to systematically study pharmacology when I have time. Combined with the abilities granted by the system, perhaps I can truly treat people in the future."
As Yang Lin's thoughts wandered, time also ticked by. To his surprise, before the rescue team arrived, a torrential rain began.
