Chapter 68
If Doctor Wei could have left, he would have left long ago.
But he was feeling guilty. The Sixth Young Master was haunting him like a ghost. Although Madam Luo promised not to let him disturb him again, what if he failed to keep an eye on him?
He is just a weak doctor who can be killed by a pinch. What can he use to compete with others?
What if he gets so angry that he orders someone to tie him up and then kill him if he doesn't serve me? Will Madam Luo ask her own son to pay for his life?
Although it seems that Mrs. Luo is not very supportive of her son, what if it is just an appearance?
It's a terrible thing to have such a good life, but end up having to drink three glasses of wine as punishment.
After much thought, Doctor Wei didn't dare to take the risk, so he decided to stay and hide in the courtyard of the Seventeenth Young Master to avoid the limelight.
As the saying goes, only in desperate situations can one find life.
He is staying here. Could he rush in and kill him?
Doctor Wei had planned everything well and wanted to show off his reputation as a famous doctor, but who knew that none of these two brothers were normal, they were all crazy.
Doctor Wei didn’t dare to leave.
If you stay, you'll lose face.
Doctor Wei, who had figured it out, waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Seventeen? How can I leave before I finish treating the patient? I just went to consider the prescription and thought about my mistakes. After being comforted by Zheng Xiaoniang, I have come to my senses now.
As a doctor with excellent medical skills, Mr. Wei is indeed too immodest and imprudent. Under the worldly fame, he has forgotten that his original intention of practicing medicine and saving lives is to do every business that requires money and life at stake. Now he is blindly obsessed with a rich life and has done many rude things. He even needs the young master to remind him. This is really wrong. Mr. Wei is ashamed.
Please also forgive this lady."
Doctor Wei said this and bowed to Shen Jiao, looking very sincere.
Shen Jiao ignored his hypocritical look and murmured in disbelief, asking:
"One hand hands over money, the other hand hands over life... Are you a business doctor, Wei Qian?"
"It's Wei!" Wei Qian raised his head with some complacency.
"Is it the merchant doctor Wei Qian who relieved the suffering of the epidemic in three counties without leaving his house and only relied on horses to deliver letters?" Shen Jiao was skeptical.
"It's nothing to worry about!" Wei Qian puffed out his chest.
"Is it the doctor named Wei Qian who can sell a prescription for three hundred gold?" Shen Jiao's eyes lit up.
"I didn't collect enough!" Wei Qian's legs began to tremble.
"Which traitor of Xuanhu Hall is this - the doctor from Shang Dynasty, Wei Qian?" Shen Jiao stood up and cheered happily.
"Then..." Wei Qian lowered his head, his chest shrank, his legs stopped shaking, and he became much more obedient. He argued, "That...that's just a rumor...a rumor."
Shen Jiao didn't listen. She smiled so brightly, and it was no exaggeration to say that the look she gave him was full of affection.
Xue Shun: "What nonsense? Is he famous?"
"He's not only famous, but also very valuable," Shen Jiao said, clutching her pounding heart and staring at him intently. "Xuanhu Hall offered 30,000 gold for his head. Many people in Jiangnan Road have been looking for him, but he's been missing for over a decade. Who would have thought he'd end up here?"
One gold is ten taels, one hundred gold is a thousand taels, one thousand gold is ten thousand taels, ten thousand gold...that's one hundred thousand taels!
Thirty thousand gold is - three hundred thousand taels!
Xue Shun's gaze towards him also became ambiguous and lingering.
In the ancestral hall.
After being beaten with fifty sticks, nearly to pieces, and then being locked up in the ancestral hall and ignored, Xue Lang struggled to crawl to the table, wanting to drink a sip of water. However, at this moment, he heard the system alarm sound like a kettle boiling, accompanied by a loud voice like thunder -
[Alert! Alert! The target Xue Shun's favorability towards others is about to exceed 60!]
[Alert! Alert! The favorability of our capture target, Xue Shun, is about to exceed 70!]
[Alert! Alert! The target Xue Shun's favorability towards others is about to exceed 80!]
[Alert! Alert! The favorability of Xue Shun, our capture target, has reached a new high, reaching 88. This is an auspicious number for fortune. What is this? This is love!]
[Just because I glanced at him casually, he was hopelessly in love with me at a value of 88! You useless thing, how dare you drink water? Your man is about to run away, his heart has been given to someone else, and now you have a child and a warm and happy family, and what about you? You're still drinking water? What kind of water are you drinking? Are you thirsty?]
Xue Lang, his lips split open, asked in a trembling voice: "What else?"
[What do you mean? Are you asking for my opinion? I suggest you go and win his heart back immediately.]
The system calmed down and the voice became dead again.
Xue Lang could only hear one meaning in this calm voice, which was that it had no humanity at all.
"Hey, my friend, look at my back. I can even make meatballs out of it by rubbing it. And you still want me to capture Xue Shun?"
"I didn't ask you to memorize the strategy," the system disagreed. "That's too cold. Humans usually prefer face-to-face conversations, and your back isn't pretty right now."
Xue Lang: ...
The system added: [It’s a bit creepy.]
Xue Lang: ...
He didn't even have the energy to be angry, he just said tiredly:
[You know I'm locked up, right?]
System: [Can't you find a way out? ]
Xue Lang: [If I could get out, would I just wait here to die? That cruel old witch didn't even give me a bottle of medicine. Every day she feeds me eggs and seafood, all kinds of irritating foods, as if she's afraid they'll kill me. Can't you see that?]
【I saw it, so what?】
"So, can't you get me some medicine or food? I have to survive these six months before I can go on the raid."
[Half a year? That's enough time to raise a child... You're so useless.] The system couldn't hide its disappointment.
Xue Lang swallowed his anger and said, "At worst, I can just change my target. So, can you please get me some medicine and food?"
[This service is not yet enabled.]
Rejection as usual.
Xue Lang: ...
"Are you actually a fake system? Otherwise, why can't you ever produce anything? Are you just my alter ego, or a figment of my schizophrenia?"
System: [You are truly badly injured, but this can be proven.]
「What…wait, no! Ahh ...
A bolt of lightning spread across his body, and Xue Lang's rotten flesh gave off a burnt aroma.
He silently blew out a smoke ring.
System: [Do you believe it now?]
Xue Lang scratched his curly hair: [I believe it, I believe it. Let's stop talking about these unpleasant things. Show me who he gave his favorability points of over 80 to.]
System: [Okay, which one are you asking?]
Xue Lang's eyes were dull as he asked, "...Anything else? But you only warned me once."
“Yes, but you didn’t ask,” the system said. “It’s a free service, what’s the point? Or will it be unavailable in the future?”
Of course not.
It all depends on inquiries, no amount of points will be enough.
Xue Lang said humbly: [No, no, just release them all.]
Two names suddenly appeared in Xue Lang's mind.
One is Shen Jiao from 82.
One is 88 Wei coins.
