Hearing this, Chaoge turned around hurriedly, poured a cup of warm water, went to the bedside, and helped the weak leader up.
I brought the cup to my mouth and took a sip. I thought I would feel a dull pain in my stomach like a needle prick, but I took another sip and before I knew it, I had finished the whole cup of sweet space stream water and didn't feel any pain in my stomach.
The chapped lips, tongue and burning throat felt much better in an instant, as if a dead tree had come back to life in spring.
"More...more..."
"Okay, okay, just lean against the back of the bed and I'll get it to you right away."
After helping the gang leader up and letting him lean against the back of the bed, Chaoge immediately went to fetch him a glass of water.
Only after drinking three glasses of water in a row did the gang leader's eyes gradually become focused.
His eyes fell on Chaoge's face wearing a mask. Only then did he pay attention and carefully look at the person who was serving him in front of him.
"Are you hungry? If you can, I advise you to eat something. Don't worry, I secretly made some nourishing millet porridge for you. Try to eat a little, and you will slowly regain your strength."
"For a dying person, what does it matter whether he eats or not? I thought I would be in the underworld when I opened my eyes, but I didn't expect that I could still lean on the back of the bed and say these words."
It might be because of the stream water in the space. After three cups of stream water, although the gang leader's voice was still weak, he was at least a little more energetic and could speak such a long paragraph.
At this time, the gang leader was also very curious about who was the person serving him.
This house was still his house, but he had never seen this masked woman before. Even the way she served him did not seem like a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, who were so humble that they did not dare to speak loudly and even their expressions were cautious.
There was no humility in this woman, but rather a genuine concern.
"If you don't want to die, and I give you medicine to treat you, you will have no problem living for at least another three to five years.
Even if you have a good attitude, you can live another ten or twenty years."
Listening to Chaoge's words, the gang leader's thin face and a pair of empty eyes revealed a hint of self-mockery.
"I'm afraid this is the last gasp of my life..."
"No, I was the one who pulled you back from the brink of death. You're overthinking it. Besides, I don't treat just anyone. I've treated people before, and the consultation fee alone started at a thousand taels of gold. Do you think my medical skills are just a boast?"
Listening to Chaoge's words, the gang leader slightly raised his eyelids and looked at her. His appearance was unclear under the silver mask, but the gang leader knew, from Chaoge's tone, that this was not someone who wanted to threaten his life or make a deal with him.
The Beggars' Sect would not have someone with such great medical skills. If this person really had such abilities, how could he be relegated to the Beggars' Sect and not even be considered an elder?
"Are you the miracle doctor they found?"
Miracle doctor?
How could there be a miracle doctor in this world? Chaoge didn't believe that there was a miracle doctor in this world.
"No, I am the new leader of Baiping Hall in Harbin, Luji League, Beiping."
"Bai Pingtang?"
The gang leader's voice sounded a little surprised and excited. Even though he could speak for such a long time in one breath, it was obvious that he was just holding on.
"Well, so I can be considered your subordinate. So, boss, can you eat something now?"
Chaoge used some precious ingredients and space stream water in the small kitchen of the hospital to slowly cook millet porridge. She hoped that the man would drink some of it.
Even though her stuff couldn't cure his illness, it could at least help him regain his energy and spirit, and control the deterioration of his condition.
"I didn't expect that at the end of my life, I was saved by the people of Bai Ping Tang. Haha, what a mockery."
"Boss, do you also feel that you are being too stingy with Bai Pingtang? Their living conditions are already difficult, so how much funding do you allocate to them each year?
Now that I, Bai Pingtang, have pulled you back from the brink of death, do you feel a little unbelievable, and that guilt has awakened a little bit of your conscience?"
When Chaoge finished speaking, he felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him intently.
Looking into the gang leader's eyes, Chaoge looked at him with disdain.
"Don't look at me like that, even though you are the gang leader, I am telling the truth.
To tell you the truth, the Beggars' Sect is ready to hold a competition the day after tomorrow, and the purpose is naturally to select a new leader, so I am here for your position as leader too?"
"Just you? Hehe..."
Obviously, Chaoge was too casual, and the gang leader couldn't see any trace of a master in her.
"It's just me, why do you look down on me like that?
If it weren't for me, do you think you could wake up?
Don't worry, if I become the leader of the Beggars' Sect, I will definitely clean up your scattered Beggars' Sect."
Hearing this, the leader of the Beggars' Sect could not help but chuckle, "Okay, then bring the millet porridge to me. I want to live two more days, until I can personally hand over the position of the Beggars' Sect to you."
Chaoge would never take this man's words seriously.
She could see that this man didn't want to die, and he didn't even want to give up the position of gang leader so easily.
But so what? His illness was still there. Without her space stream water and the nutrient solution at the beginning, he would not be able to say so many words now. Even if he was asked to urinate and defecate by himself, he would not be able to do it.
Chaoge brought a small bowl of rice porridge. Looking at the man's skinny wrists and the fact that he had to gasp for breath after speaking a few words, she had no choice but to be a good person and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
"It's funny to say that I haven't even served my father like this, but I have served you well. It's a good thing that you can eat a bowl of rice porridge. At least you can recover your energy and eat by yourself tomorrow."
"It is my honor. The ten elders should be very curious about my situation. Are they all hoping for my death?"
"Are you asking even though you already know the answer? I don't know whether they have it or not, but I kind of hope that you'll just leave it at that. That way I'll still have a chance to fight for the position of gang leader.
But you know what, Elder Xue cares about you very much. I'm also new to the Beggars' Sect, so I wonder what the relationship between you two is?
But you are in this condition now, thanks to Elder Xue, who strongly requested and supported me to treat you. If you can get better, you might as well be nicer to others. "
Listening to Chaoge's undisguised inner thoughts, the gang leader curled his lips and smiled, not angry.
"You are honest, indeed, even you hall masters have come here just for the position of gang leader.
However, don’t tell them that I can eat for now. Just say that I am still the same and my condition has not improved.
Elder Xue... Never mind, you are not old enough, but you are full of gossips. I don't want to talk to you."
