Chapter 65: Less than a month to live
The mother and daughter looked at the man in front of them who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, tall and strong, with a stern look on his face.
Mother Zhong subconsciously protected her daughter behind her and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
Ye Jinmo stood behind her, looking at her mother who was defending her, and felt warm in her heart.
She has always been sensitive about family affection. Thinking about what happened at noon, she now feels that she is being a little pretentious.
No matter what, your mother loves you after all.
She shouldn't question this love because of others.
Thinking of this, she took the initiative to step forward and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Maybe it was because her attitude was too serious that the other party was a little at a loss for a moment.
The tall man in front of her took out a photo, which showed her saving someone in the morning.
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Ye. You saved our master this morning, and the master wants to invite you to his home to express his gratitude in person."
Mother Zhong glanced at the time, her face becoming increasingly gloomy. "It's already nine o'clock in the evening. My daughter can't go with you. There's no need to express your gratitude. My daughter appreciates it."
When she heard who the other party was, she began to feel suspicious.
How could he be a good person to invite her precious daughter so late at night?
As they were talking, the bodyguard who was secretly protecting Zhong's mother appeared and stood in front of the two of them.
The man was anxious: "Miss Ye, this is the case. Our master said that you only took one look at him today and knew that he was poisoned. He wanted to ask you to help diagnose and treat him."
As he spoke, the man took out a special business card with a phone number and address on it, but the name was blank.
Mother Zhong took her hand and turned to leave.
The man pushed aside the bodyguard in front of him and said in a tough tone: "You must come with me today."
Mother Zhong was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Jinmo.
"Since you found out my name, I guess your master knows my true identity."
The man nodded seriously.
"I can go with you, but I'll have to bring bodyguards."
"Of course, I just said that we have no ill intentions. We just want to ask Miss Ye for help with the diagnosis and treatment. You can bring bodyguards, and we will reward you handsomely afterwards."
Hearing this, Ye Jinmo patted Zhong's mother's hand soothingly.
Zhong's mother also calmed down. She thought that since the other party could find the Zhong family, he must be no simple person. She immediately called her eldest son and decided to go with her daughter.
It’s so late, no matter who takes her daughter away, she will feel uneasy!
Ye Jinmo couldn't persuade Zhong's mother, so she had to agree.
Zhong Shaoqing rushed over after receiving the call and surrounded the manor closest to Xi Town according to the address.
The security guard did not prevent him from entering.
After he entered the manor, he only saw Mrs. Zhong drinking tea in the living room.
"Where's Jinmo?"
Mother Zhong pointed upstairs and said, "They called her to her room."
He had already investigated the family's information on the way here.
The Tan family, a century-old incense-making family in the imperial capital.
This family is very mysterious and rarely appears in front of the media, but major perfume brands from all over the world come here to learn from them.
Simply put, this is the originator of the perfume industry!
He had always known that the Tan family was in the imperial capital, but this was the first time he knew that they were in Xi Town. The Tan family was heavily guarded. The fact that he was able to come in so openly today was definitely because of his sister's help!
In the study.
Ye Jinmo's eyes were full of vigilance. She looked at the old man not far away and said indifferently: "I don't think you need a doctor."
Along the way, although the manor we saw was not as magnificent as the Ji family's, it was also a real luxury house. It was a Jiangnan water town-style manor located in a 5A-level scenic spot. It is conceivable that the identity of the owner was prominent.
"But you are the only one who can tell at a glance that I am poisoned."
She didn't respond. Seeing is one thing, and treating is another.
Seeing that she remained calm, the old man pushed the wooden box on the table and opened it. Inside was a white irregular object that looked like a white stone and exuded a strange fragrance.
Ambergris!
Her eyes widened in surprise. He actually had such a big piece of ambergris!
You know, ambergris is the first of the four fragrances and is priceless. She had only seen a small piece in the basement of Baicaotang.
The old man saw her expression completely, and his originally cloudy eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"Little girl, my family makes spices, and I don't have anything else to give you. I just need you to help me detoxify, and this thing will be yours."
Ye Jinmo withdrew her gaze. She was indeed very tempted. This was the only spice she was missing to make the sachets.
But she did not agree immediately. When she took the old man's pulse in the morning, she found that the poison in his body was very unusual.
She took a few steps forward and took the old man's pulse again.
The air in the room was quiet.
Her face darkened gradually, her beauty was twisted, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"Girl, what disease can you diagnose?"
She withdrew her hand, thinking quickly in her mind. After a while, she looked up and asked, "Do you often feel numb, sleepy, and unable to wake up?"
"right!"
"The hospital couldn't find the cause of the disease, they only found that there was a deficiency of Qi and blood."
"That's right! Girl, you are amazing!" The old man's face was full of surprise, "And my symptoms have lasted for many years. I have taken a lot of tonics on weekdays, but they are of no use at all."
"Can you roll up your sleeves and trouser legs?" Ye Jinmo already had the answer in her mind, but needed final confirmation.
The old man did as he was told without saying a word.
Sure enough, his arms and legs were covered with bruises of varying sizes.
She examined him carefully, her face slightly changed, and she raised her eyes and said solemnly: "You have been infected with corpse poison. You will not live for more than a month. These bruises are corpse spots."
Every word she said was enough to make people tremble with fear.
The old man supported himself on the table with his arms, and it took him a long time to steady himself.
He is not afraid of death, but he cannot die, he has not found his only daughter yet!
He is already half buried in the earth, and his only obsession is to find his daughter who was lost twenty-three years ago!
"Then is there any hope for me?" he said in a trembling voice.
Ye Jinmo was silent for a few seconds, then hesitated and said, "Yes, but you are old, I can't guarantee that there will be no sequelae."
She had seen this kind of poison when she went to Miaojiang with her master at the age of ten. At that time, a young man was infected with corpse poison. Not only did he have corpse spots, but he was also in a state of unconsciousness for many years. After the Miaojiang elders helped detoxify, the young man's left arm became stiff and he could not lift heavy objects, so he was spared amputation.
Because of her interest at that time, she learned a lot, including the detoxification method for corpse poison.
The old man asked seriously: "What are the sequelae?"
"The amputation of both arms or legs will take seven days to heal, but it will be very painful. If you can accept that..."
"I can do it. As long as I live, anything is fine!" the old man said, picking up the wooden box on the table and putting it in her hand. "I believe you!"
She hugged the wooden box tightly and nodded solemnly.
She will discuss this matter with her master tonight. To be on the safe side, she needs to ask her master to come out and assist with the treatment.
Walked out of the study and went downstairs.
She was shocked by the scene before her.
Ji Sichen stood in the middle of the living room, looking exhausted. Zhong Shaoqing and Zhong's mother stood on both sides of him, seemingly persuading someone. The area around him was crowded with fully armed people.
Seeing her coming down, Ji Sichen rushed over and hugged her in his arms.
Her heavy breathing filled her ears and she could feel his nervousness.
"What's wrong?" She was suspicious.
Zhong Shaoqing rolled his eyes: "If you don't come out, this guy will use a cannon to bomb his manor!"
