Chapter 79: Local Snake
With soft hands around her waist, her body felt lighter. While climbing over the wall, Cheng Weiyao went straight to the point.
"It's not clear yet. Let me pick you up first. There are medical boys taking care of you at the clinic." Wen Chengyun felt warm in his heart. Although he was worried about his younger brother's injury, he also saw Cheng Weiyao's injury.
The poison in Wen Chengming was very familiar, and the identity of the person who attacked him was not difficult to guess. Given the situation at the time, if Cheng Weiyao hadn't protected me with her life, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the poisonous hand long ago...
After successfully entering the town, the two immediately returned to the clinic where Wen Chengming was.
"Who sent this? He looks half dead. If he dies, it will tarnish the reputation of our clinic..."
At the clinic, the doctor came back from his consultation and saw Wen Chengming, who had been breathing heavily recently, in the lobby of the clinic. His brows were immediately furrowed. Looking at the deep wound on his back that was poisoned, the doctor simply took his pulse and decided to give up treatment.
Cheng Weiyao and Wen Chengming happened to hear these words. When the medicine boy saw Wen Chengyun, he felt as if he had seen a savior: "This young master sent it..."
"Let me be frank. The wound on this child's back is very deep, but the most fatal thing is the poison infected by the wound. I'm afraid the poison is so deep that it has already affected his internal organs. I'm afraid even I can't save him. You two should arrange his funeral as soon as possible..."
The doctor stroked his gray beard and shook his head with regret.
Before he could finish his words, Wen Chengyun picked up Wen Chengming and walked away, not forgetting to say, "Quacks are misleading!"
However, the town is so small that the clinic would not dare to accept the patients who were rejected by the clinic. At the critical moment, a familiar figure appeared before them.
"Damn old man, did I give you face? Who asked you to treat my illness? And you still have the nerve to ask me for money? I'm not sick to begin with, but you're trying to blackmail me. I think you're tired of living!"
In a restaurant on the street, an old man was kicked out by a burly man. The old man rubbed his buttocks which were broken into eight pieces and cursed and complained that young people nowadays have no martial ethics.
The next second, when he looked up, he saw Wen Chengyun and Cheng Weiyao carrying Wen Chengming on their backs. He was impressed by these people and they were quite generous. It was a pity that he was not lucky enough to get a share of the wealth.
The old man got up and turned to leave, but the next second, Wen Chengyun and Cheng Weiyao attacked from both sides and blocked his way. The old man's face changed slightly: "What are you doing? I didn't take your earrings. Go ask your officials for them. Don't disturb me from my medical practice..."
"Look at what you said. I am here to bring you wealth. Please be patient, old man, and take a look at our little brother's injury."
Cheng Weiyao didn't waste any words. She grabbed the old man's hand and secretly stuffed a few pieces of silver into his hand. Although the barefoot doctor looked a little sloppy, judging from the way he treated Wen Liyu, his medical skills were indeed good.
As soon as he got the silver, the old man's face changed instantly. He smiled and asked Wen Chengyun to find a flat ground to put Wen Chengming down, while still bragging about himself.
"You're lucky to have caught up with me. If you were at another clinic, you'd probably be kicked out. Those hypocritical doctors there can easily treat headaches and fevers, but I'm the only one who can handle such difficult and complicated cases..."
He joked a few times, but after actually looking at the wound, the old man's face became serious. He listed a long list of medicines and asked Wen Chengming to get them.
It's clear that the child received a certain degree of treatment immediately, but acupuncture can only relieve the pain and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The child is young, and the amount of medicine must be controlled. Too much or too little will be very troublesome...
"Who did you offend? You're so cruel to a child! This is a highly toxic drug, rarely seen in the capital..."
Seeing Wen Chengyun walking away, the old man slowly took out his needle bag from the lapel on his chest. Twelve silver needles of different lengths were neatly arranged and gleamed with cold light.
"I don't know. Maybe he's jealous of our wealth... Is this old man acupuncturist? It's a shame to have such advanced medical skills as a barefoot doctor..."
Cheng Weiyao's eyes flickered slightly. It was true that the masters were among the common people, the great hidden in the city. She vaguely guessed why the old man had sent Wen Chengyun away. This row of silver needles piercing his back would scare anyone, let alone one of his own family.
As for what the old man said, we can only infer one point indirectly: the person who can get such a rare poison and harm the Prince Qingping's Palace must be a noble and powerful person.
The old man's hands were very steady. When he removed the silver needles one by one, Wen Chengming spat out a large mouthful of black blood. Although he still had not regained consciousness, his complexion had obviously improved.
"As a woman, you have a lot of knowledge. The child is fine. If the poisonous blood can be forced out, he's out of danger. The remaining poison will be slowly expelled by drinking the decoction. Whether he has a root cause of the disease in the meantime depends entirely on his rest..."
Once the most troublesome poison was removed, removing the arrow would be easy. As he was speaking, the old man exhaled, rubbed his hands together, grabbed the arrow on Wen Chengming's back, pulled it back cleanly and neatly, and threw it away.
The process happened a little suddenly. When Cheng Weiyao reacted, the arrow had already been pulled out. The old man had already started to stop the bleeding and shake out the medicine powder in an orderly manner.
"This medicinal powder is very precious. The price is separate. Please give me some extra consultation fee later..."
Cheng Weiyao's mouth twitched slightly. This old man was not suitable to stay in the clinic. He asked for exorbitant prices and was likely to be beaten...
When Wen Chengming came back with the medicine, the old man had already happily taken the silver and gone out to drink. Only Cheng Weiyao was left there to guard Wen Chengming.
At the same time, a group of people wearing official tokens on their waists came to the city gate. They were Wang Gang and his group who had just entered the city.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
A carriage in the city was rushing towards Wang Gang and his group. The coachman on the carriage shouted to back off, showing its unstoppable momentum. The carriage stopped in front of Wang Gang. A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes got off the carriage, saluted gracefully, and then complimented Wang Gang.
"I, Li Dabao, welcome all the officials to my precious place. I have prepared fine wine and delicious food for you in advance. Please come to my humble abode and rest for a while."
After hearing this arrangement, the officers looked at each other and finally agreed after Wang Gang's nod. They then went to Li Dabao's house in a mighty procession.
A group of people sat down in Li's house. The exiles were told to rest in the courtyard and fend for themselves, while the officials were treated as guests of honor and enjoyed wine and meat.
"How did you know we would come here?"
While drinking and eating, Wang Gang asked about Li Dabao who was entertaining the officials with dinner.
