In this chapter, we learn that the bamboo rat has been badly injured, and that the huantong siblings have been trying to catch him, but that they have been unable to do so because the rat is too small to catch them. The herbs are still there, and the doctor is worried that he will lose his primordial essence if he keeps doing this. He tells us that he is a healer, not a scientist. He says that he would never be a doctor if he did not do his duty of healing the injured, saving the dead, and doing good deeds. He explains that the herbs arrived in time for him to refine nine transformation cleansing pills. After the patients absorb the pills, their bodies produce antibodies that eliminate the pandemic. The citizens of the hospital have gathered to thank the doctor for saving their family. They want to thank all of the doctors in person, but the doctor says that all the doctors are exhausted after fighting the pandemic for two days. They would like to thank him as a token of their appreciation. The doctor tells them to take the bungalow as their own small thank you, and to take it easy. He reminds everyone to wash their hands frequently and to do more exercise.
