Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
522 I'm Not Afraid
The old man looked at his two sons and said, "We will treat it. We will sign the agreement. If there is anything wrong with the child, we will never cause trouble to the Sun family or Ping An. We, the Bai family, will keep our word."
Both brothers nodded.
Besides this, is there a better way?
What's more, the chance of cure is more than 60%, and there is a 90% chance that there will be no danger, which should be the best result.
Venereal disease has been an incurable disease since ancient times.
If Jiaming can be cured this time, he will be very lucky.
Ping An took out the agreement, which was in duplicate with all the clauses written down. All the Bai family needed to do was to look at it and then both parties would sign it.
"Second Master Bai, please ask someone to invite the Second Madam over. Bai Jiaming is her son. As a mother, she has the right to know about this matter."
"Okay, I'll call her over right away."
Master Bai Er hurried to the backyard. He still wanted to make things clear with his wife there.
When the father learned that Jiaming went to those places to play because his wife and mother secretly stuffed a lot of silver bills into his pocket, he was extremely angry and flew into a rage, and confined both of them.
My mother became so angry about this incident that she fell ill. Even after she recovered, she was unwilling to leave the small Buddhist temple and recited sutras every day to pray for the Buddha's blessing.
But the lady pointed the finger at her father as the source of the accident.
It's really unreasonable.
A 15-year-old child, away from his family, free and with a lot of money, wouldn't that definitely mean he won't learn well?
But things have already happened, and it is no use pursuing them any further.
The father and son of the Bai family looked at Ping An who was sitting below the master, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They were boys of the same age, but one had passed the imperial examination with six top marks and was also an excellent doctor, while the other was suffering from an ugly disease and his life was in danger.
It's more than just one in heaven and one in hell.
After a while, Mrs. Bai hurried over with her husband.
"Master, Young Master Ping'an, can't we find a servant to give it a try? Then wouldn't my son be a drug tester? What if something goes wrong? Even a 10% risk is still a risk."
Sun Sicheng's face darkened. "Madam Bai, I have just told your husband that this medicine is very precious. We only have a small bottle at the moment, and we have to give it to the patient once every seven days, a total of three times a course of treatment. It won't be enough if we waste even a little bit. It may be two months before the next dose of medicine is ready."
Peaches were available at that time, but Ping An also said that oranges were better.
But by the time oranges are ready to eat, it is already autumn.
"My dear, my wife doesn't understand these things. You don't have to care about her words. My son is definitely willing to be treated."
Master Bai Er looked at his father and elder brother's livid faces and felt angry. Is a 10% risk still considered dangerous? You could fall to your death while walking.
The second wife has been under house arrest for some time, and she is becoming increasingly angry.
"Why can't I tell my son? This is the first time that the eldest son has used this medicine. Isn't it like testing the medicine on my son? Am I wrong?"
"Shut up, second brother, and divorce her."
"Old Master, Master Bai, Second Master Bai, we, the master and disciple, will not interfere in your family affairs. You should think about it. I will take Ping An back first. Goodbye."
Lord Bai hurriedly stopped him, "Sicheng, please wait a moment for my sake. Second brother, go and tell Jiaming about this. If he is willing to be treated, you should apologize to Sicheng and Young Master Ping'an and ask them to treat your son. You are so foolish and ignorant to call such a precious medicine a trial. Jiaming was harmed by you, and now you want to harm him again. How many days can Jiaming live without treatment?
Sister-in-law, if you keep making mistakes, even your father can divorce you. Jiaming’s last name is Bai, but he is a member of the Bai family.
The second wife started crying and was dragged away by Master Bai Er.
"Sicheng, marry a virtuous wife. I married a blind wife for your second son. Please forgive me." The old man sighed.
Sun Sicheng was in high spirits, but was disturbed by this woman and he didn't want to treat her anymore.
But because of the old man and Lord Bai's face, he had to sit down.
Ping An was angry with Mrs. Bai Er, and at the same time lamented that the status of women in ancient times was really low.
After a while, Bai Jiaming followed his father over.
Bai Jiaming has become so thin that he looks unrecognizable. He used to be a handsome young man, but unfortunately he made a mistake that led to everlasting regret. Ping An has no idea whether he can ever turn back.
He looked rather gloomy, silent and in a gloomy mood.
"Master, I want to check for him so I can know more."
Sun Sicheng shook his head: "Let me do it."
Ping An smiled and stood up: "It's okay, I'll do it."
There are only a few ways that syphilis can be transmitted, mainly through sexual transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and blood transmission.
In addition, saliva and clothing are also contagious.
But he would definitely wear protection and not put himself in danger.
Bai Jiaming suddenly spoke up, "Ping An, aren't you afraid of getting infected? I'm going to die anyway, so I'll be kind and not hurt you."
There was a bitter tone at the end of his voice. Mr. Bai wanted to scold him, but his eyes turned red and he couldn't utter a word.
Ping An smiled lightly: "Do you want to die? Bai Jiaming, but it's not easy to die with this disease. You have to let your body rot away little by little before you can die. Do you want to see yourself like this?"
Bai Jiaming couldn't help but tremble. He was scared, scared to death.
"But my master and I are now very confident that we can save you. The success rate is about 60%. Even if the remaining percentage is considered incurable, it won't be much worse than your current condition.
I don't want to hide the truth from you. According to your current condition, if you don't have a new and useful prescription, you won't live for half a year. But if you use the new medicine, you will most likely see a great improvement in two or three months. After half a year, you will be able to live healthily under this sky. After a year of recovery, you will be able to study, get married and have children.
In other words, there is a high possibility of successful treatment, but there is also a possibility of failure.
If you are really so unlucky, that is your fate. A healthy person may fall to death while walking, or choke to death while eating. Accidents can happen to anyone at any time, so I think the bad possibility is nothing.
Bai Jiaming, do you dare to treat him? "
"Ping An, is there really such a good medicine? I will treat it, I am willing to treat it.
Fu An is your friend, I'm with him, are you still willing to treat me?"
"Bai Jiaming, I actually didn't want to mention this matter. It makes people angry. What you wanted to do to Fu An was too vicious. Who knows if this isn't retribution from God?
Bai Jiaming, my master and I are willing to save you, first because of your grandfather, your uncle and your father. They really love you and can't bear to lose you.
Secondly, my master is soft-hearted and feels sorry for you because you are too young, the same age as me, and it just so happened that he got such a prescription by chance.
But you have to promise us today that after you recover from your illness, you will be a sunny young man and stop having dirty thoughts of harming others. Just think that the Bai Jiaming of yesterday is gone, and what survives is the new you, okay?"
Bai Jiaming looked at Ping An infatuatedly: "I promise you, as long as I survive this time, I will never hurt anyone again in my life, and I will study hard and become a useful person in the future."
He fell to his knees with a plop: "Jia Ming, please ask the eldest master and Ping An to save me, help me."
All three members of the Bai family cried.
Sun Sicheng also shed tears. This brat is very eloquent and good at sentimentality.
"Get up. I believe your father has told you that before giving you the prescription, you have to sign an agreement. In fact, all surgeries require you to sign an agreement. Although yours is not a surgical procedure, this is a new medicine.
But you don't have to be afraid, we will use a small amount on you first to see if you have an allergic reaction, it won't be life-threatening."
Bai Jiaming stood up and said, "Young Master, I am safe. I am not afraid. I am willing to sign. If anything really happens, the Bai family will not cause you any trouble."
