Chapter 354 No Hope
Feng Aoqing, who rarely panicked about this matter, also began to panic.
"Qing, don't be anxious, let's wait and see." An Jinge comforted.
"This isn't right, I..."
As Feng Aoqing was speaking, someone knocked on the door.
Yuan Zhenkuan saw a woman about forty years old, wearing a very gorgeous dress, swaying up the stairs.
"Aunt Chonglou." Yuan Zhen said politely.
"Sir, do you recognize me?" Chonglou stood at the door.
"I don't recognize you. But when I heard Uncle Huo mention you, I thought it must be you, with such a powerful tone." Yuan Zhenkuan replied.
By this time, he had calmed down.
"Let me go in and take a look! If something happens to someone here, I have to take care of it." Chonglou smiled.
Yuan Zhenkuan knocked on the door. When An Jinge opened it, he whispered, "Sister, the owner of Tougu Town is here."
Chonglou didn't wait for someone to inform him, but reached out and pushed the door open.
An Jinge would never give in, and the two of them started fighting with hands and kicks in the crack of the door.
"No, no! You two!" Yuan Zhenkuan hurriedly persuaded, "Sister, we won't cause trouble! Aunt, we are not bad people, my sister is just anxious."
"Let her in!" Feng Aoqing said.
Only then did An Jinge let him out.
"What can I do for you?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"I heard that you know medical skills, so I just came to see if you can handle the poison." Feng Aoqing said in a firm tone, but Chonglou was not angry.
Someone around Chonglou said, "Our aunt is the most powerful poison master in Nankang."
Hearing this, Feng Aoqing offered her seat beside the couch and said, "Please take a look. It was poisoned by the insect. I used medicine, but she still hasn't woken up."
She picked up the handkerchief with the insect's mouthparts on it from the table and handed it to Chonglou.
Chonglou took a look at the mouthparts and nodded: "It's a Zhichong."
Feng Aoqing handed over the medicine she was using.
She looked, smelled, and tasted first, then nodded again: "It's also suitable for the symptoms."
"Is there anything I missed? Please tell me." Feng Aoqing didn't know whether the other party had real skills, but there was no other way now.
Chonglou raised her pretty face, which still retained its charm, and just smiled.
"Don't give me advice in vain, just name your price." Feng Aoqing thought, since this is a place for business, there is nothing that can't be settled with money.
"The incense you use." Chonglou replied.
"Hmm?" Feng Aoqing raised her head and looked at Chonglou.
"I've made rose incense before, but it's not as good as yours. I want your recipe for it."
As Chonglou spoke, he was about to move closer to Feng Aoqing, and An Jinge took a step forward.
The two started fighting again in the house.
"Okay." Feng Aoqing immediately stood up and walked to the table to write the recipe.
After hearing her words, An Jinge had no choice but to stop.
"Why is this kid so belligerent? He fights at every turn. He will suffer a loss in someone else's territory!" Chonglou shook his head.
"Try and try to move one of them, I'm afraid you can't bear it!" An Jinge sneered.
While the two were bickering, Feng Aoqing had already written the recipe and handed it over.
Chonglou happily put away the paper, walked to Siyan and looked at the wound.
Only then did Feng Aoqing see that the wound was almost invisible when it was first discovered. When she checked it not long ago, it was only the size of a fingernail, but now it has expanded to half the size of a palm.
She felt bad.
"If you had come to me earlier, it wouldn't have come to this." Chonglou stood back into the body.
"I shouldn't take it out, right?" Feng Aoqing murmured. Unexpectedly, her normal operation became Siyan's death warrant.
Chonglou nodded and told them the situation.
This insect was raised by a herbalist in Nankang State. There was a companion insect inside its body. The mouthparts were not broken, but were deliberately inserted. If the method of pulling it out was incorrect, the companion insect would remain in the body.
It is extremely small and will find blood vessels and then flow along them to other parts of the body.
"How to save him now?" Feng Aoqing gritted her teeth. After all, her knowledge was too shallow.
"It's been so long, I don't know where he is anymore. He can only wait to die. Your medicine can only last for three to five days." Chonglou shook his head.
"Is there no way at all?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"It's too late even if there is one."
"You can say whatever you want."
"You need to find a pest applicator. Each one has his or her own unique medicine that can draw out the worms."
Feng Aoqing, An Jinge and Yuan Zhenkuan looked at each other, all three of them looking anxious.
"Is there any other way?!" Feng Aoqing's voice was hoarse.
Looking at their expressions, Chonglou probably knew that the person had been killed by them.
The last time Yuan Zhenkuan cried was when his father died. He didn't expect that Siyan, who loved him so much, would also die in front of him.
"I'm useless! It's all my fault! If I knew martial arts, I would have killed that Pei guy at that time, and then nothing would have happened later! I'm useless!" He fell to the ground against the door.
An Jinge was used to seeing life and death, so her heart was naturally much colder. She patted Yuan Zhenkuan's shoulder with an expressionless face.
"Yi!" Feng Aoqing stood up.
Yuan Zhenkuan looked at her with tears in his eyes and said, "She likes the peony-colored one the best. I'll get it for her to change into. I'll also keep the hairpin and earrings. She loves beauty..."
"No, I still have the clothes I wore that day!" Feng Aoqing interrupted him.
She thought of the few pieces of clothing she had kept in the space. She kept them because she wanted to study them when she had time to see what ingredients in them could attract those poisonous insects.
After hearing Feng Aoqing's account of the situation, Chonglou was shocked. "You want to identify the medicine and then make an antidote based solely on smell?"
"What do you think, Auntie?"
"If you can tell, of course you can, but..."
"I need a quiet place, even a run-down, deserted one will do. Aunt, please be kind and I can name your price."
Chonglou became interested because he saw that she seemed very confident.
In her more than 40 years of experience in poison therapy, she had never heard of anyone being able to identify drugs by smell alone, especially after a period of time.
She thought for a moment and said, "Move to my place. My medicine pool can extend your life for a few more days and buy you some time."
"Aunt, you are so kind. I will remember this."
Since Chonglou had spoken, no one dared to object, and everyone helped move Siyan into the Guishan Tower.
Chonglou placed Siyan on the wooden rack above the medicine pool.
An Jinge thought that the person was immersed in medicine, but only then did she realize that he was placed on a rack for fumigation.
The smell of medicine in the whole house was not strong, but rather refreshing and pleasant.
The room was very large, with a medicine pool on one side and medicine racks along the walls, as well as a table and chairs.
Chonglou felt that this place was the most suitable, so he said: "You can all stay here. There is a couch behind the screen where you can rest. Young Master..."
"No need to bother with any arrangements, Auntie. I want to stay here and watch over my sister."
"Okay, then I'll have someone bring in two more couches."
An Jinge handed a small bag of gold to Chonglou: "We don't owe you any favors. This is the deposit. Thank you for preparing three meals a day. Once you are cured, you can decide how much to pay."
Chonglou weighed the bag and accepted it without saying anything.
"I live in the next room. Call me if you need anything. If you need any medicine, call me. I have the most comprehensive medicine store in Kyushu."
She was itching to stay in the room and see how Feng Aoqing did it, but she was afraid that others would not let her watch, so she had to leave first.
