Chapter 219: Once You Get It, You're Not Worried Anymore
"Lu Hei..." Xi Lin's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Lu Hei is staying at home well, what could happen to him?"
As if feeling his words were not convincing enough, he continued with a helpless tone, "After all, his leg is injured, and it is inconvenient for him to travel now. He stays at home every day and rarely goes out."
This is the truth, and it is what he heard from street interviews.
They said that before the accident, Lu Hei was a very good man. Not only was he kind, but he was also filial to his parents and cared about his wife and daughter. He usually saved the money and food distributed by the army and took them back home.
But since the accident, he has changed completely from head to toe. He is irritable and violent, not only refusing to cooperate with taking medicine, but sometimes even scolding his wife and daughter when he gets crazy.
Even neighbors like them who came to visit would be scolded out by him and not allowed to stay in the yard.
When Xi Lin left the silver and left, he heard Lu Hei's mother sitting in the corner crying and saying, "My son, it's good that you're gone. At least you don't have to suffer anymore."
For a mother to say such words, one can imagine how miserable Lu Hei's life must have been.
Doctor Li frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Heizi, the man with a crippled leg who lives in Tonghua Lane?"
Seeing Xi Lin nod, he couldn't help but sigh, "He was a good kid, very brave in killing the enemy on the battlefield. He should have been promoted after the war for his meritorious service, but something like this happened."
Song Yanxi said coldly: "There is no room in the army for someone with a broken left leg."
Xi Lin's eyes flickered, and he said in annoyance, "If I had come back earlier, I would not have let Zhuang Shihan do what she wanted."
Doctor Li frowned and asked, "Did you really see Lü Heizi?"
"Are there two Lu Heizi in Tonghua Lane?"
"That's not the case."
Doctor Li paused, caught a glimpse of Song Yanxi's cold eyes, and suddenly understood something.
He asked in a deep voice: "Is Heizi gone now?"
Xi Lin forced a smile, "They're living well, why are you all always hoping for something bad to happen to them?"
"When did we ever say he was dead?" Song Yanxi asked coldly.
Doctor Li sighed again and said, "If you had really seen him, you would have known that he lost his right leg, not his left."
Hearing this, Xi Lin was stunned. The words kept turning on his lips for a long time but he didn't know how to start.
Seeing his reaction, Doctor Li felt angry and distressed for a moment, and it took him a long while to speak.
"How could this Heizi be so hopeless? His daughter seems to be still a baby. If he leaves her like this, how will the orphan and the widow survive?"
"I heard from the neighbors that Lu Hei once left a letter asking his wife to take their young daughter and remarry, and the three tiled houses in his family could be used as a dowry."
Squeezing out the last word with great difficulty, Xi Lin even thought of running away immediately.
If he hadn't stayed outside the city, had returned earlier, or hadn't eaten the fruit greedily and become poisoned and drowsy...
There are no assumptions.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and regrets are useless.
Looking at Xi Lin's face full of guilt, Song Yanxi couldn't say anything to persuade him. The two faces she glanced at at the city gate appeared in front of her eyes.
Lu Hei is dead, leaving behind the poor mother and daughter. How are they going to live in the future?
Why was he so depressed? Was it because he felt sorry for his wife and children's hard life, or was it because he heard what happened at the city gate and was worried that Zhuang Shihan would bear a grudge and take revenge on him someday?
"Tell me, what is going on?" Doctor Li looked at Zhuang Shihan who was being surrounded by people and walked out, and was so angry that he punched the pillar with his fist.
He said bitterly, "I don't know what kind of magic potion she has fed these people. They only recognize me as a doctor and don't believe anything others say.
If the prince were here right now, it would be great. His words would surely be effective."
Xi Lin glanced at Song Yanxi, who looked unhappy, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Li, please take us to see other patients quickly to avoid delays."
Doctor Li wiped his eyes and said, "Come with me, there's a little girl who just moved in last night. I'm worried about how to give her medicine.
Fortunately, the princess came, otherwise, at such a young age, if she had a high fever in the middle of the night, it would have been troublesome."
When the three of them finished their work and met in the yard, it was already sunset.
Fortunately, they all brought good news.
Except for the two shopkeepers with the most serious illnesses, the conditions of the others were more or less better, and they were willing to eat something after acupuncture.
Although it is not much, it can barely meet the body's needs and prevent one from starving to death.
"The most agonizing thing about the epidemic is the inability to eat. If you force yourself to swallow even a little, you'll vomit and have diarrhea, dragging a healthy person to death. Fortunately, the princess's acupuncture method can help suppress it."
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and sighed, "With just this set of needlework, it won't last long."
Doctor Li's expression was solemn. "My Lady, there's no need to blame yourself. It's already great if we can alleviate some of the symptoms and make the patient feel better.
On the bright side, the silver needle acupuncture method doesn't damage the root cause. If we can delay the situation for one more day, fewer people will die in the city, and we'll have more time to develop a prescription."
He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a flash of red around the corner of the corridor not far away. He shouted coldly, "Who dares to eavesdrop?"
Zhuang Shihan walked out confidently, her eyes glaring with disdain as she said, "Don't flatter me. I just came here after my consultation to see how the patient is doing. I'm not interested in hearing your outdated treatment methods."
She looked at Song Yanxi with hostility, "According to General Xu's arrangement, the military doctors have their own responsibilities. I should be solely responsible for the patients here. You're overreaching a bit.
Or do you think that things are more valuable when they are snatched away, and once you get them, they are no longer valuable anymore."
When she was taking pulses outside just now, she was actually waiting, waiting for the two restaurant owners to die, so that everyone in the city would know that Song Yanxi and Xi Lin had killed people because of their poor medical skills.
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, especially when it comes to one's own life.
No matter how they and the three old guys explained and tried to save the city, the people in the city would not risk their lives.
At that time, the only person they could trust and rely on would be her.
But she waited and waited, but no one came out from the backyard, and not even a trace of unusual movement was heard.
If her men had not been watching them closely, she would have even suspected that the two had seen through her plan and taken the opportunity to escape over the wall.
Hearing her harsh words, Doctor Li's face darkened. Unable to bear it any longer, he retorted, "Both the Princess and Divine Doctor Xi were invited by me. Princess Shihan's words are so harsh. Could it be that she's trying to say that I'm not qualified?"
Damn old thing!
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but curse in her heart, and ignored him as she walked towards the room where the two shopkeepers lived.
Judging from the time, those two people must have been dead for a long time.
But when these three people saw her, they were not at all panicked or guilty, but looked as if they were confident.
She had checked carefully early in the morning and it was clear that the two men were doomed to die. Even if modern high-end precision instruments were used, they might not be able to survive.
She wanted to see what they were up to!
