Chapter 254: Burnt Jem
Gu Qingshi had never expected that this kind of ginseng could actually be a way to make a fortune. Mr. Meng was straightforward, so Gu Qingshi didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
Under the witness of Doctor Wang, Mr. Meng and Gu Qingshi exchanged the money and the goods. Fortunately, Mr. Meng brought cash with him.
"I wonder if you can give me a contact method. I might need to look for you in the future. This ginseng, especially this good kind, can save lives at critical moments."
"Sure." Gu Qingshi left his contact information.
When Gu Qingshi came out, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw her, "What good thing happened?" He could see that Gu Qingshi was happy at a glance.
"I sold a ginseng." Gu Qingshi supported Lu Yuan out of habit, "Let's go home first."
"Well, go home." He likes the word home.
Lu Yuan has been homeless since his grandfather passed away. Although the Lu family accepted him as their own, he has traveled all over the country over the years, and the Lu family has become more of a home for Lu Ziyu.
When Lu Yuan heard Gu Qingshi talk about going home, his heart warmed up and the words came out of his mouth naturally.
"Qingshi, my head is a little itchy."
"Do you want to wash your hair? But your wound can't touch water. I'll help you wash it when we get back."
"Thank you for your help then." Lu Yuan's mouth curled up wildly.
After returning and making some simple arrangements, Gu Qingshi helped Lu Yuan wash his hair, and Lu Yuan just needed to lie down.
It felt good to wash my hair, especially when Gu Qingshi helped me wash it. Unfortunately, when Fang Wen came over again, Gu Qingshi was washing Lu Yuan's hair with foam on his hands. Fang Wen did not miss Lu Yuan's expression of happiness: "."
Lu Yuan washed himself before being discharged from the hospital. The wound should have healed faster after being discharged, but he regressed and no longer knows how to wash?
Fang Wen was secretly groaning. Lu Yuan gave him a look of disdain, feeling disgusted by his interruption. "What's the matter again?"
This word "又" is very soulful, and it gives a feeling that if you are fine, you will die.
Fang Wen rolled his eyes silently and said, "Something happened." He found Jem.
Fang Wen didn't say it out of consideration for Gu Qingshi, but Lu Yuan knew from Fang Wen's expression that he really had something to say, "Wait a moment."
"Okay, I'll go out and play with Dahuang for a while." Fang Wen and Dahuang are friends, so he talks to Dahuang about everything.
Lu Yuan came out fifteen minutes later. Fang Wen stroked Da Huang's head and said directly, "We found Jem."
"Is the person dead?"
Fang Wen was silent for a moment, "Not dead yet, but almost dead."
After hiding for so long, Jem was finally found, and in a very bad condition. He was directly abandoned in a simple house. According to clues, he was abandoned by Juliet.
Juliet followed Jem back. It was probably she who rescued Jem in the first place. But Jem was injured and did not go to the hospital for treatment, which was a big problem. Juliet thought something was wrong, so she abandoned Jem and ran away.
"We found him, but he's not moving yet. The news is that Jem has a lot of wounds on his body, the wounds are festering and maggots are growing in them, he has a high fever and has started talking nonsense, talking about ghosts and magic."
It's hard to describe what Fang Wen said. Jem was in such a state, but he was still alive. He was quite lucky. However, his brain was probably burned out, otherwise why would he scream like a ghost? And he even had magic.
Lu Yuan: “.”
Fang Wen didn’t understand why Jem shouted like that, but Lu Yuan knew that it was most likely because of Qing Shi.
Qingshi must have caused quite a trauma to Jem at that time. Keeping such a person would be a disaster. Unexpectedly, God had eyes and burned him stupidly.
As for those festering and maggoty wounds, he deserved it. The girls he had cheated suffered injuries similar to his, so he could just consider it as paying off his debt.
"Don't worry about him, just let him fend for himself." Whether he can survive depends on his fate.
He has been burned stupidly, but his body is still the same. Maybe death is the only relief.
However, Jem did not die. Fang Wen did not let anyone take care of Jem, but Jem was fortunately found and sent to the hospital.
After treatment in the hospital, Jem managed to escape, but because of the high fever, there was indeed a problem with his brain. He was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. He kept saying nonsense and was still shouting about magic ghosts.
For Jem, being sober was much more cruel than being confused. He kept remembering the festering wounds and maggots on his body, how he was injured, and how he was disabled. Once he woke up, he screamed and scratched his wounds desperately to get rid of the maggots.
The wound had clearly been treated, but in his eyes, it was still as horrific as before with maggots and festering.
Being sober is the real punishment for Jem. Every day he is in an endless cycle of waking up, then being hit by reality and falling into confusion, or simply passing out from self-harm.
When I am confused, I talk nonsense and slap my head to wake myself up. When I really wake up, I force myself to be confused again. It never ends.
When Gu Qingshi accompanied Lu Yuan to the hospital again, Jem happened to be sent to the same hospital, and they met again in the end.
There was a girl taking care of Jem. She was very gentle and polite. She pushed Jem in a wheelchair. Jem, who was grinning and patting his head all the time, met Gu Qingshi face to face.
Gu Qingshi didn't notice the show at first, it was Jem who discovered her first.
"Oh ghost, magic, witch!" When Jem saw Gu Qing, he was like seeing a ghost. He shouted in fear and rolled under the wheelchair, holding his head and started to hide.
Gu Qingshi: “.”
Ghost? Witch? What strange names are these? But seeing Jem like this, I feel really good.
"Is Jem stupid?" Gu Qingshi admired Jem's appearance for a while and confirmed with Lu Yuan.
"About the same. He is not sober very often, and when he is sober he will hurt himself. This behavior of hurting himself when he is sober may continue for a long time."
Gu Qingshi nodded, "But how come there is someone to take care of him? The little girl who pushed him before."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you think you are taking care of him? I don't think so."
Gu Qingshi looked at Lu Yuan inquiringly, "Is there anything else I don't know? Tell me what's going on."
"Now that Jem has become like this, I asked Fang Wen to pass the news to the girls who were harmed by him." They were too cautious to use the law to protect themselves, nor could they take revenge and punish Jem. However, if they knew that Jem had ended up like this, they would be happy, and they would feel more comfortable and get over the harm caused by Jem sooner.
After delivering the message anonymously, Fang Wen stopped caring about it, for fear that the girls would think that they were trying to blackmail or threaten them.
Unexpectedly, after the message was sent out, a girl actually came in person to see what happened to Jem. After seeing it, she did not leave and said that she was Jem's former friend and took on the responsibility of taking care of Jem.
Of course, this is only on the surface. It can be said to be care, but according to Fang Wen's observation, it is better to say that he came to take revenge personally.
Because she felt that what Jem had done was not enough, she wanted to take revenge personally and vent her hatred.
