Chapter 97: At worst, I can go back to Xiao Jiwu and continue to live
After leaving the restaurant, Yun Qingshi rode his horse towards Danxia City without stopping.
He started his journey just after noon and rode for more than two hours before arriving at Danxia City.
He then continued to ask around and search until the evening when he finally found the clinic where Doctor Shi Zizhen was practicing, Derentang.
He tied up his horse and went straight into the clinic, but he didn't expect that at this time, there were still many people waiting for treatment in the clinic.
I guess they all came here because of its reputation.
Yun Qingshi was not in a hurry. After taking the number plate and looking around, he went to the door to buy a candied haws, and then returned to the clinic to eat while waiting.
We waited until dark.
Yun Qingshi was the last one to arrive, so naturally he waited until the end.
Seeing that the man in front of him had also taken the prescription to get the medicine, Yun Qingshi went to sit in front of the doctor very consciously. He pulled up his sleeves and placed his wrist on the pulse pillow with familiarity, then opened his mouth and said, "Hello, doctor, I'm here to see you."
He has done this process more than a hundred times in the past few days and is now very familiar with it.
Shi Zizhen was also amused by Yun Qingshi's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "You are quite interesting, young man. Aren't all the people who come to me here to see a doctor?"
Doctor Shi stroked his long beard and asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Yun Qingshi had high hopes for Dr. Shi Zizhen, and he also wanted to describe it more accurately, hoping that it would be helpful for the diagnosis.
But unfortunately, he really didn't feel anything strange.
Even the wound on my abdomen hasn't itched much in the past few days.
Yun Qingshi finally shook his head and said, "I'm not feeling unwell. Doctor Shi, please feel my pulse."
Seeing that Yun Qingshi seemed to have something to hide, Shi Zizhen didn't say anything more. He just rolled up his sleeves, put his fingertips on Yun Qingshi's wrist and began to carefully feel his pulse.
The hope that had been finally found made Yun Qingshi unusually nervous at this moment. He couldn't help but look at the other party with a little anxiety.
As time went by, Shi Zizhen's expression gradually became hesitant and stagnant.
After a moment, he gestured to Yun Qingshi: "Change your hand."
"Yeah." Yun Qingshi frowned slightly, and quickly changed to his left hand after hearing what he said.
Shi Zizhen also continued to stretch out his hand to diagnose the pulse.
After another moment, he frowned slightly and withdrew his hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi knew that the other party must have noticed something, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Doctor Shi, how is it?"
Shi Zizhen looked at Yun Qing steadily, sighed, and then slowly spoke: "There is a dormant poison in your body, hidden very deep and difficult to detect. If you take the antidote on time after a few days, your body will not be affected much. But if you stop taking the antidote..."
Having said this, Zizhen paused for a moment before continuing, "If the antidote is not available, the poison will inevitably take effect, and there will be excruciating pain. If the antidote is not available in time, the final result will be the rupture of all the internal organs, and death from pain."
Yun Qingshi listened quietly, and his heart sank after hearing the last sentence.
Burning inside, how painful it must be...
As expected, he knew that Xiao Jiwu, that bastard, would never be able to coax the secret guards with candy beans.
Seeing Shi Zizhen suddenly speechless, Yun Qingshi's long eyelashes drooped, and she had already sensed something.
But he still held onto some hope and asked again, "Then, Doctor Shi, do you have any way to detoxify?"
Hearing this, Shi Zizhen was silent for a moment before continuing, "This poison is rare, and its preparation must be extremely complicated. If I had the recipe, I could still research it. If not, I can't help you. I've been practicing medicine for many years, but I don't have a deep understanding of poisons. It's my incompetence."
Yun Qingshi had already anticipated this result, so even though he was disappointed, he did not lose his composure too much.
He just lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then silently took out a silver ingot from his purse and placed it on the table. He said "thank you" and stood up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Shi Zizhen stood up hurriedly and took the silver, intending to return it to Yun Qingshi: "I was unable to help you, please take the silver back."
But when he ran out of the clinic, there was no one on the street.
It was completely dark, and looking at the empty streets, Shi Zizhen couldn't help but sigh again.
It is really sad to see such a smart person end up like that.
Even though he was used to seeing life and death, he didn't want to see that scene.
I just hope God will be more merciful...
————
As for Yun Qingshi, he had already bought another candied haws and was eating it while walking with his horse, while looking for an inn to stay for the night.
To say I wasn't disappointed would be a lie.
After so many days out, Shi Zizhen was the only doctor who could diagnose that he was poisoned, but he also couldn't detoxify him.
With only a few days left, it would be difficult to find a skilled doctor, let alone detoxify him.
But it’s not that desperate.
The worst result is to go back to Xiao Jiwu and continue to hide.
Although he was unwilling, at least he could keep his life.
At worst, when it was time to block the knife, he would just hide behind Xiao Jiwu and let Xiao Jiwu block the knife for him.
As for the subsequent plots, we can only take it one step at a time.
But that’s all in the past. The most urgent thing is to find an inn to stay in.
After dark, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets, which is really unsafe.
But now, when looking for an inn, Yun Qingshi didn't dare to be as casual as before. After all, it would be a trouble if he accidentally stayed in Xiao Jiwu's inn again.
He doesn't want to be followed by a bunch of people he can't get rid of.
After hesitating for a while, Yun Qingshi decided to stay in a more ordinary inn.
No matter how extensive Xiao Jiwu's business is, it is impossible for him to open every inn.
He guessed that the shops under Xiao Jiwu should be more high-end. After all, the restaurant he had lunch at today was quite high-end.
Yun Qingshi led the horse for a while and then chose an inn.
This inn doesn't even have first-class rooms, only upper rooms.
Compared to the inns he had stayed in before, it was already very simple.
After being brought into the guest room by the waiter, Yun Qingshi felt even more disappointed.
Because it is indeed much worse.
But he had no choice, he still wanted more freedom.
Yun Qingshi still had the waiter bring him dinner. Although the inn was a bit simple, the food tasted quite good.
After eating, taking a shower and applying medicine, Yun Qingshi continued to lie on the bed and study the map.
Today is his sixth day out.
There are only four days left.
And on the last day, I had to get the fox fur back to Beijing.
