Chapter 708 The Protection of the Dead
Qiu Linshan's grandmother, who is also Mrs. Qiu's mother, passed away more than ten years ago.
When Qiu Linshan was little, her parents were busy and her brother had to go to school, so she was practically raised by her grandmother.
Therefore, among her grandchildren, the old lady doted on Qiu Linshan the most.
The safety buckle they just mentioned was one of the dowry items the old lady brought with her, and she wore it her whole life.
Although it wasn't particularly valuable, it was an old item she had worn her whole life, and its value in the old lady's eyes was self-evident.
Before she passed away, the old lady gave it to Qiu Linshan, hoping that her most beloved granddaughter would have a smooth and peaceful life.
Qiu Linshan nodded with a complicated expression: "After my grandmother gave me that safety amulet, I've always carried it with me."
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "Things left behind by the deceased, if they are accompanied by heartfelt wishes, will at least carry some of the protection that the deceased left for their descendants."
If the deceased was a virtuous and benevolent person in life, the protection and blessing would be stronger than that of ordinary people, which in a sense can be considered a blessing for future generations.
When Ye Wanxi came in, she glanced at Qiu Linshan and her aunt and found that the two of them had more or less benefited from the golden light of good deeds. It seemed that their ancestors were all good people who did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and their blessings naturally protected their descendants.
Otherwise, given Qiu Linshan's condition, she would probably be dead by now.
"However, the deceased is gone, and this protection will gradually lose its effectiveness over time. Have your wounds been reopening more frequently lately?"
Qiu Linshan nodded. Not only were her wounds recurring more frequently, but the pain was also becoming increasingly intense.
Otherwise, the family wouldn't have been so anxious to have the aunt take her to find someone to buy more medicinal mud as soon as they learned that the mud her aunt brought back was effective.
After hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Madam Qiu was shocked, but she actually believed most of them and became increasingly anxious about Qiu Linshan's injuries.
“Miss Ye, now that we know Linshan’s injury is related to that corpse poison, will Linshan’s wound recur in the future… Is there any way to cure it once and for all? Money is not a problem, as long as it can alleviate Linshan’s pain, we are willing to go bankrupt…”
"Aunt Qiu, you flatter me. Since you are my friend, you are also my elder. I will definitely help if I can."
"The ghost fire that injured Miss Qiu came from a Yin Sha ghost. Fortunately, I didn't see any ghostly energy on Miss Qiu, which means that the Yin Sha ghost didn't entangle her after attacking her. Therefore, to heal Miss Qiu's injury, we only need to kill and eliminate the corpse poison in the wound."
As Ye Wanxi spoke, she glanced at the medicine box that Madam Qiu had placed to the side.
"The medicine I just gave you contains an herb that is specifically designed to treat all kinds of poisons and malevolent spirits. As you can see, after applying it, Miss Qiu's wounds have already shown signs of healing. This is a sign that the corpse poison on the surface of Miss Qiu's wounds has been killed by the herb."
"However, there's a saying that even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. Corpse poison only needs a tiny bit to resurface and spread. That's why I just told you to carefully apply it to every part of your body to ensure that all the corpse poison on Miss Qiu's body is eliminated. To prevent a relapse, just to be on the safe side, Miss Qiu should apply it every three days for the next month. This is both for disinfection and for recuperation. Some ingredients in this ointment can accelerate the coagulation of wounds into scars."
“A month later, Aunt Qiu will bring her back for me to take a look. If she recovers well, I will prepare another ointment for Miss Qiu to remove her burn scars.”
When Qiu's aunt and niece heard that Ye Wanxi was willing to help, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little grateful. They were also touched when Ye Wanxi mentioned that there were other ointments that could remove the burn scars.
Even Qiu Linshan, who had long since given up on her appearance, couldn't help but gasp for breath, and Mrs. Qiu was so excited that she almost knocked over the plate in front of her.
"Miss Ye, do you have any medicine that can remove Linshan's scars?"
"Yes, but the process may take a little longer and the recovery will be more difficult."
“That’s not a problem at all!” Madam Qiu stared at Ye Wanxi with shining eyes. “May I ask, to what extent can she recover?”
"Hmm..." Ye Wanxi looked Qiu Linshan up and down. "At least you won't have to go out fully armed like this anymore. If you recover well, you might be able to continue doing what you like. It's just that you might have to wear a little more makeup in the future. But that shouldn't be a big problem for you."
Because Qiu Linshan herself has a rather mature and sophisticated appearance.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful..." Madam Qiu's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and her eyes even reddened by the end of the reading.
Qiu Linshan appeared to be calmer at the time, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that her entire upper body was stiff.
Perhaps they were too shocked, or perhaps they were too overjoyed to process it.
But no matter what, Ye Wanxi has already explained all the benefits, and now it's time to settle the accounts.
"Ahem, these ointments are definitely effective, it's just that the medicinal ingredients used are quite precious, so the price..."
Mrs. Qiu seemed to wake up from a dream: "Of course. Miss Ye's ointment is very effective, and it's obvious that it's not an ordinary product. It will definitely be much more expensive than ordinary ointments, and we are prepared for that. But could you tell us in advance how much you need so that we can make preparations in advance?"
Considering the relationship between the other party and Aunt Feng, Ye Wanxi offered a relatively reasonable price: "That box of ointment was a month's supply. Since you and Aunt Feng are like sisters, I'll give you a 20% discount, making it four million."
"If there are no problems afterward, you'll need to apply two courses of treatment, which is six months' worth of medicine. Each course lasts three months, costing ten million per month. That's a total of sixty-four million. You can choose to pay in full upfront and take all the ointment, or you can choose to pay each month when you come to collect it from me. Is that acceptable?"
After hearing this, Madam Qiu took another deep breath, not out of financial pain, but purely because of the timeframe Ye Wanxi had given her.
Just now, Ye Wanxi said that it would take a long time, and she thought that it would take at least three to five years for Qiu Linshan's scars to heal.
Who would have thought that it would only have been six months, plus the month of detoxification beforehand, making it only seven months?
This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qiu Linshan will be able to return to normal and live a normal life in seven months!
"Yes, yes, we can accept that! Don't worry about the money, we'll definitely prepare it in advance and there won't be any delays."
Sixty-four million is certainly a lot, but in exchange for Qiu Linshan's new life, it's practically a bargain.
