Chapter 262: No Delay in Burying
Seeing that someone was taking care of him, Jin Congcong got up from the ground, rolled up his sleeves, handed his wrist to his master, and whispered something in his master's ear.
Then, everyone saw Doctor Du's pupils trembling non-stop...
Bubu frowned and said, "Mom, what do you think Senior Brother is whispering to Grandpa? Is he hiding some silver and wants to tell Grandpa where it is? But it's okay if he tells Bubu, because Bubu still needs to buy a coffin for Senior Brother."
Bu Ruo smiled and picked up her daughter, racking her brains to explain: "Bu Bu, your brother is not going to die. It's not just dying that means he can't do it. There are other things that can be impossible."
"What else? What's the matter, brother?"
Bu Ruo: ...
Xiao Yulan also picked up his son and said, "Do you know what happened to your senior brother today?"
Xiao Jin turned her head, an unnatural blush flashing across her face: "I know now, I can read now, I saw it in my grandfather's medical book."
Although the two kids had become Dr. Du's disciples, they still called him Grandpa, simply because Dr. Du said calling him Grandpa was more intimate and would minimize his memories of the not-so-pleasant days when he taught someone.
After a long moment, Doctor Du looked at someone in shock. "Poisoned? You're actually poisoned? Jin Congcong, you bastard, are you actually poisoned? Do you still have any shame? No... do you still have any shame for me?"
Doctor Du looked around, and finally rushed to the wall, picked up a broom and swung it over: "You are my last disciple, you are the last disciple of my great doctor, and you were poisoned just for attending a palace banquet on my behalf. What are you still alive for? I will beat you to death."
"I'm so angry, I'm really so angry. If I didn't have two of my last disciples, Jiner and Bubu, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes until I die."
Jin Congcong held his head and howled, "Ouch... I can't... I can't close my eyes... but... it won't delay the burial."
"Besides, that idle girl said she would return my money, but how could I have known that she would poison me? I didn't do it on purpose."
When Doctor Du heard what Jin Congcong said... he swung the broom even more roundly, as if he was going to clean the house.
After an incense stick of time, Jin Congcong begged for mercy, hugging his master's thigh and refusing to let go no matter what. "Wuwu... You are my master. I have beaten you, scolded you, and I am almost done with my anger. Now, can you please tell me, is there any hope for me?"
Doctor Du threw the broom to the ground and snorted softly, "Although the brain is hopeless, the poison can be cured. As for you... it's really hopeless. It has nothing to do with the poison. I can't cure it. I guess this will be the rest of your life."
Jin Congcong was stunned and burst into tears: "It's really useless? Are you lying to me, old man? You can cure the emperor, so why can't you cure me? Why don't you try again, try again, just in case it works?"
"Wuwu...ah...I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore."
Bu Ruo stopped laughing and coughed lightly: "Alright, stop howling, Grandpa Du was just trying to scare you, you'll be fine by tomorrow morning."
Jin Congcong looked bewildered: "Tomorrow... tomorrow morning...? What do you mean? What do you mean tomorrow morning will be enough? Ruo'er..."
"Yes, I did it."
Jin Congcong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and finally remembered that Bu Ruo seemed to have slapped himself a few times in the main hall of the palace. Could it be that it was because of those slaps that he couldn't do it?
Jin Congcong looked at him in shock: "Ruo'er, why...why?"
Bu Ruo curled her lips: "Isn't it for your innocence? It's a one-time thing, how great! This way, no one will worry about your innocence anymore."
"Then why didn't you tell me? You almost scared me to death, don't you know?"
"Why didn't I tell you? It's because I wanted you to remember this lesson! Today she tricked you into giving her a few taels of silver to clear your name, but what about next time? Will she take your life?"
Jin Congcong had no way to refute it because what the other person said was right.
"But... that's not my fault. Eight taels of silver is a lot. It took me a long time to save up eight taels of silver."
Bu Ruo didn't want to talk to him anymore: "Let's go, let's go back. I'm tired after half a day and I want to rest."
Jin Congcong wanted to ask something, but seeing Bu Ruo's disgusted look, he couldn't ask in the end. He could only go back to his yard, looking back every few steps.
Doctor Du looked at Bu Ruo and said, "You are so soft-hearted. If it were me, I would make him suffer for several years and make him not care about his life for money."
Bu Ruo was also helpless: "In his previous life, he was the lowest-ranking sweeping immortal. Whether it was immortal status or treatment, he was the lowest. He was obsessed with elixirs in his previous life and obsessed with money in this life. It's also human nature."
"But... the lesson he should be taught still needs to be taught, to prevent him from losing his life one day."
Doctor Du turned around and continued fiddling with the herbs. "Yes, we must teach him a lesson and detoxify him, right? I'll start detoxifying him tomorrow and help clear his mind of all the crazy thoughts."
Sure enough, when Bu Ruo woke up the next day, she saw Jin Congcong running around the yard, with a dog chasing after him.
Bu Ruo: ???
Bubu ran to Doctor Du and said, "Grandpa, what are you doing, brother?"
Doctor Du smiled and picked up Bu Bu: "Little Bu Bu, you've woken up. Grandpa is detoxifying your senior brother."
"But why is Da Huang chasing after Senior Brother? He looks like he wants to bite Senior Brother to death. But Da Huang is obviously very docile. He can understand whatever Bu Bu says to him, and he can even help Bu Bu get things."
Doctor Du glanced at the person running away howling. "Because Grandpa Du put Da Huang's cub on your senior brother's bed last night, Da Huang is very human. He saw that his cub was lost this morning and was looking for it everywhere. He just happened to smell the scent on your senior brother, so... he is chasing your senior brother to ask for the child."
Bu Bu nodded: "Well...Grandpa did the right thing. If Da Huang hadn't chased him, he wouldn't have run as much as today this year. Senior brother is really lazy."
Jin Congcong was running outside, and Bu Ruo was eating breakfast in the house. Before he had taken a few bites, Bi'er came in.
"Princess, Guo Lu is outside and wants to see you."
Bu Ruo chuckled, "She must have discovered that the border map she stole was fake, so she's been abandoned and is about to surrender?"
"Indeed, the Third Princess has arrived for the marriage, and something like that happened in the palace last night. If nothing unexpected happens, the Third Princess will definitely be ruined. I just don't know what cards Guo Lu has in her hand. This princess is very curious."
"Let her wait a while. Let her in after we finish eating, otherwise the food will get cold."
