Chapter 139: Things Go Wrong
Yao Qian was once bitten by a scorpion while filming. She was waiting for a night scene deep in the mountains when she dozed off. A stinging pain jolted her awake, and she found herself staring eye to eye with several scorpions each the size of her palm. Yao Qian will never forget that cold, sinister feeling.
When Yao Qian heard that she was going to use scorpions to treat her illness, she shuddered.
Shen Jiang hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the patient, but she thought scorpions were actually quite okay. Some people even eat fried scorpions, so at least they count as a delicacy. They were clearly much more acceptable than things like ren zhong huang (Chinese peony root) and ren tui (Chinese peony root).
Shen Jiang tried to persuade the patient who was full of resistance: "We can also do without scorpions."
Yao Qian breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Shen Jiang: "The difference is that using scorpions for three or four doses can detoxify, while not using scorpions takes three or four months. It doesn't matter. It depends on you."
Yao Qian: “…”
Shen Anlian sat opposite, looking at Xiaogu with amusement, thinking that this girl would persuade the patient seriously and patiently. But she didn't expect that she would persuade him in this way.
That's a solution.
Shen Jiang smiled and waited for the patient to make his own decision.
This trick really worked. Yao Qian took a deep breath and asked, "Can you really heal my face?"
Shen Jiang nodded: "If you cooperate well, you will see the results soon."
Yao Qian nodded vigorously, she would definitely cooperate!
Shen Jiang casually said, "When you have time, bring all the cosmetics and skincare products you've used here so I can take a look."
Yao Qian looked puzzled. This was the first time she heard a doctor make such a request.
Shen Jiang: "Don't you want to know what made your face look like this?"
Yao Qian certainly wanted to, but could she really tell the problem just by looking at it? She was a little confused. Could Chinese medicine understand those chemical raw materials?
Shen Jiang seemed to have heard her thoughts and said directly, "Just bring it with you, don't worry about anything else. Don't use these things for the time being."
If there really is something wrong with those things, she will be able to tell it at a glance, so why not just let her take them for inspection then?
Shen Jiang thought for a moment and, instead of prescribing a mask, prescribed her a decoction and then a bottle of Kangfuxin Liquid for her to apply to her face. He instructed her, "Apply three times a day, especially to wounds and ulcers. Come back to see me after you've finished taking the medicine."
Yao Qian confirmed: "There are no centipedes in the face lotion, right?"
If possible, she wouldn't want to put centipedes on her face.
Shen Jiang laughed: "Don't worry, I promise not to!"
If Ellis were here, he'd definitely say, "That's just a black, sweet-smelling thorax beetle! It can even heal burns. This guy's facial wound is nothing."
After Yao Qian put on her sunglasses and mask again and left, Shen Jiang got up to open the window. She squinted and saw a familiar beautiful figure standing under the loquat tree and talking to Godwin.
Eh? Who's talking to Godwin?
Shen Jiang moved closer to the left front, trying to see the man's appearance clearly.
Godwin had been living in this world for a few days and had adapted quite well. He didn't seem to be that interested in this world. He didn't like going out, nor did he like to ask Shen Jiang questions.
Shen Jiang was worried that he had no idea about the world's armed forces, so he found him a lot of videos to reinforce his understanding. He emphasized the importance of being a law-abiding citizen. But Godwin didn't like watching these. He preferred TV shows with strong storylines. This morning, for example, he was fascinated by a mustachioed detective solving a locked-room murder case.
The person who was talking to him was none other than Su Qing.
Shen Jiang was stunned. She turned to look at her grandmother, who was looking down at a medical book. Because of her age, even with her reading glasses, she had to lean in closely to see the words clearly. She was absorbed in her reading, practically burying herself in the book as soon as the patient left. Her serious yet calm expression was as if this were just another ordinary day.
Shen Jiang suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, a bad feeling rising. She calmly closed the window, suppressed her anxiety, and said calmly, "Grandma, I'm going to the bathroom."
Shen Anlian seemed to have heard it and nodded without raising her eyelids.
As soon as Shen Jiang walked out of the clinic, he started jogging towards the yard.
Her mind went blank.
Before she even got close to Godwin, she heard Su Qing angrily say to Godwin the words she least wanted to hear:
"Believe it or not, if you didn't have those herbs in your hands, you would be nothing in front of her!"
Shen Jiang stopped.
Godwin had been very obedient these past few days. She worked while he watched TV, they ate together at dinner time, and went for a walk in the park after dinner. She felt that her boss must have a lot of confusion in his heart, but he never asked, so she never said anything.
Shen Jiang would go to the other world as usual at night. She asked Quick to take her to find the silver dragon Perrin. At first, they were all unsuccessful, until yesterday when she finally saw the dragon.
No dragon could bring Godwin here except the silver dragon Perrin. So Shen Jiang asked Perrin to bring Godwin back, believing her world wasn't suitable for a dragon. But Perrin told her that Godwin meant business, sacrificing all his treasure for a chance to be with her.
Perrin showed her the glittering treasures, feeling a little troubled. "See how determined he is? No one can bring him back unless he's willing."
Perrin even turned around and asked Shen Jiang, "You two are in love, aren't you? You said you liked him too. I used to think Godwin was just an ignorant little dragon, but he took the initiative to take this step for you, which shows that he has grown up. Are you still dissatisfied with something?"
Shen Jiang was speechless. Godwin had actually exchanged Long Xue's favorite sparkles for tickets to see her.
Before Su Qing revealed the secret, Shen Jiang really thought for a moment that he should just live this simple life.
She would try to earn more money and buy Godwin new shiny things.
Shen Jiang hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.
Godwin looked terrifying from behind, with some dark and unpleasant elements emanating from his body.
When Su Qing saw Shen Jiang and saw her pale face, she couldn't help but feel proud. She guessed right!
She knew that Shen Jiang was deliberately approaching and trying to please this man because of those expensive medicines.
Su Qing's tone was inexplicably excited: "Senior sister, we are talking about you. You said you were the same, why did you sell the medicine that people worked so hard to dig so cheaply."
Shen Jiang wanted to hit her very much.
But before she could, the tall man radiating dark energy took the first step.
Su Qing still had a bright smile on her face, but her body was thrown into the air like a rag doll. Her eyes quickly turned into horror and confusion, as if she couldn't believe that a scene that only appeared in special effects movies was happening to her.
Soon, the rag doll fell to the ground due to gravity without any sound.
"It's so noisy," said Godwin impatiently.
Shen Jiang trembled all over. She glanced at Su Qing who was motionless, as if she had foreseen her fate.
She's finished.
Godwin turned around and saw the believer standing there like a quail. He recognized her footsteps as she ran towards him.
From the initial haste to the hesitation in the last few steps.
Shen Jiang noticed that the usual nonchalant expression on Godwin's face disappeared, replaced by a blank expression.
The boss, with an expressionless face and emitting dark energy, had just beaten Su Qing into a rag doll with his bare hands.
Shen Jiang is so useless that he wants to kneel down.
