Not only the three of them, but even the girl who had been curled up in the corner as if she didn't exist couldn't help but raise her head and look at Qin Sheng with hopeful eyes.
It was as if they were waiting for a verdict: whether it would be salvation or descent into hell, all depended on Qin Sheng's answer.
Qin Sheng pursed her lips slightly and gently shook her head: "Not for now."
It was as if a colossal hammer had fallen from the sky, slamming heavily into the hearts of the four, causing their faces to turn pale. Song Yu, in particular, staggered back two steps until he managed to steady himself by bracing himself against a wall.
He couldn't help but let out a few heavy breaths.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he straightened up and walked towards the stairs.
Song Yanzhi caught him with lightning speed.
"Where are you going?!" The tone was harsh, but the eyes were full of undisguised concern and worry.
A flash of pain crossed Song Yu's eyes. He raised his hand to pry Song Yanzhi's hand off his, as if he wanted to cry but also seemed to be laughing. He said, "I promised your mother that I would spend the rest of my life making up for what I owed her. I can't let her bear this pain alone."
so what?
So, should I buy a bottle of sulfuric acid, take a bath myself, and suffer with her?
Song Yanzhi was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. Not only did he not let go, he pulled the man back even more forcefully: "Song Yu, are you out of your mind? Get back here! If you think of any more of this nonsense, I... I..."
Song Yanzhi's voice was thick with sobs as she abruptly released Song Yu's hand and cried out, "I'll go with you if you want!"
Qin Sheng: "..."
Is this the legendary "family should be together"? So even disfigurement has to be done in groups?
She couldn't help but rub her temples, her voice tinged with irritation: "What kind of tragic CEO script is this? You were good at grasping the key points just now, but why can't you do it now?"
She looked at the father and son, their eyes brimming with tears, and felt a little weary: "I said no for now."
Wen Shiyun had already reacted first, and quickly slapped his son-in-law and grandson on the head, saying in an annoyed tone, "I told you to read more medical books in your spare time, learn about medicinal herbs, and understand their basic medicinal uses. You're always so busy, you don't know anything and you're acting like you're going to die. Can't you learn from Sheng Sheng and be a little more composed!"
Although it was a bit embarrassing for someone of his age to be reprimanded in public by his father-in-law, Song Yu couldn't care less about that at the moment. He looked at Qin Sheng and saw that she had a blank expression on her face, so he felt a little guilty and could only ask his father-in-law, "Dad, do you mean that A-Yun's injury can still be treated?"
Wen Shiyun snorted coldly.
“Safflower gentian, hairy holly, hibiscus mutabilis, frost-covered red, rock fig…” Wen Shiyun rattled off a long list of medicinal herbs, while waving the list he was still holding, saying, “These are all the medicinal herbs on the list compiled by Sheng Sheng, most of them are for treating burns and scalds.”
"If I'm not mistaken..." Wen Shiyun paused, looking at Qin Sheng with a complicated expression, "You're planning to develop a drug on the spot?"
Qin Sheng responded, her brows furrowing slightly: "I do have several medications for treating burns, but for an injury of Teacher Wen's severity, those medications can only make it barely noticeable from a distance. Up close, the marks will still be quite obvious."
"To cure it, we need to develop a new, more effective drug."
It's not just about developing new drugs.
As far as Qin Sheng knows, there are no medicinal materials currently used in the Chinese medicine industry that can achieve this effect.
She rummaged through her long-forgotten memories and combined them with fragmented information she had seen in ancient books before she came up with two potentially effective ancient medicines.
The process of finding and cultivating medicinal herbs is a massive undertaking.
Even Qin Sheng wasn't sure how long it would take to achieve the desired effect.
If all else fails...
Qin Sheng ran her right fingertips across her palm, her gaze deepening slightly.
But at this moment, neither Wen Shiyun, Song Yu, nor Song Yanzhi noticed her sudden change; all three of them were stunned.
After a long while, Song Yanzhi finally found his voice: "Cure... heal?"
He looked at Qin Sheng, unable to hide his excitement and disbelief, and couldn't help but ask to confirm, "You mean there's still hope for my mother's injury to heal?!"
Qin Sheng glanced back at him, looking rather strange: "Otherwise, why are you all acting like you're trying to kill yourselves?"
Isn't it just that you're worried about Wen Muyun's injury not healing properly?
Are they really satisfied if they're cured 70-80% and stop trying to kill themselves?
Little did she know, that was exactly what they thought!
Both Song Yu and Song Yanzhi had seen Wen Muyun's injuries up close. From that moment on, their hearts sank. They thought that as long as they could save his life and heal the injuries to the point that they wouldn't be so obvious and wouldn't affect their normal lives too much, they would be satisfied.
As for a complete cure, I don't even dare to think about it.
Although I am not interested in studying medicine, I still have the most basic medical knowledge.
They had never heard of anyone being splashed with sulfuric acid or burned without leaving a single mark.
Even Wen Shiyun couldn't do that.
Upon hearing this news, the two of them were so excited that they didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.
Song Yanzhi almost knelt down before Qin Sheng!
Waaaaah, Sister Sheng is truly my Sister Sheng, she's practically my second parent!
Song Yanzhi snatched the list from Wen Shiyun's hand and said excitedly, "Qin Xiaosheng, what else do you want? Just tell me! Whether it's food, drinks, daily necessities, or clothes, as long as you can think of it, I'll find a way to get it for you!"
"Waaaaah, Qin Xiaosheng, as long as you can cure my mom, you'll be my real mom from now on. I promise I'll never mess with you again, I promise I'll never kick your chair again, I promise... I promise I'll do whatever you ask, because you'll be my real mom!"
Qin Sheng: "...I just want you to shut up."
Song Yanzhi immediately stopped talking, behaving unusually obediently.
The girl's voice was cold and irritable, clearly indicating she had little patience, but Song Wen and the other two felt that the girl was kind and approachable no matter how they looked at her.
Wen Shiyun, in particular, regretted that Qin Zheng hadn't kept his daughter by his side; otherwise, he would have definitely taken her to the Wen family!
If someone else had said those words today, Wen Shiyun would have at least some distrust, even if he didn't scoff at them.
But the one who said this was Qin Sheng... no, it was Shi Fang.
The god of medicine, known throughout the ten directions.
Nothing could be more convincing than her words.
Wen Shiyun's heart, which had been hanging over him ever since Wen Muyun's accident, finally settled down, and he finally had time to pay attention to other things.
He glanced at the girl huddled in the corner and said to Song Yu, "Leave the treatment to Sheng Sheng. I will fully cooperate. What you need to do now is think about how to handle this!"
