Along with the shrill scream, several patrolling officers immediately came.
Several officers came into Xu Yongnian's tent cursing and began to lecture him in a harsh tone.
"Xu Yongnian, what the hell are you howling about? Will it ever stop?"
"Look, there...there's a scorpion!"
"Why is there a scorpion in this tent?"
"What else could it be? It must be because Xu Yongnian is making trouble again, damn it!"
The officers treated them as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They dodged and stretched out their feet to try to step on the scorpions to death.
As for Xu Yongnian, who had been hiding under the quilt and opened the jar containing the scorpion, his entire body was now covered with countless wounds from the stings and bites of the scorpions.
“Save…save me.”
"It's all Erya's fault. That damn girl, she wants to kill me!"
Xu Yongnian was breathing out more than breathing in, but he still did not forget to blame Si Muqiao.
"Just shut up!"
"Miss Erya is busy curing illnesses and saving lives all day long. How can she have the time to harm you?"
"You are courting death and yet you still don't forget to slander Miss Erya. Are you a human being?"
Several officers continued to curse.
They are so angry, almost mad to death!
The epidemic in Huer Lane has become so serious that Xu Yongnian, a doctor, is not only unable to help, but also makes things worse.
He is not busy, but everyone else has a lot of things to do.
You can't just hang around him for nothing, right?
What bad luck!
Although everyone was disgusted, they still reported the situation here to Doctor Xue, the person in charge of Huer Lane.
Even Simuqiao heard it.
She asked with a strange look on her face: "Were you bitten by a poisonous scorpion?"
"Could it be that the poisonous scorpion crawled out of the jar?"
"Yes, it did crawl out of the jar. How did Miss Erya know that?" asked the officer who came to report.
"If nothing unexpected happens, that jar should be the treasure I was looking for that was lost in my tent."
"There are two jars in total, one for scorpions and one for centipedes."
"Miss Erya, are you saying that Xu Yongnian sneaked into your tent while you were away and stole your two jars?"
"Yes, that's right." Si Muqiao nodded.
"Nonsense! How can such a person practice medicine if he can't even be a good person?"
"I will go over to see him first. After his injuries are healed, I will report to the police and have him arrested." Doctor Xue said angrily.
Even at this time, Doctor Xue did not forget to save people first, and then thought about reporting to the police.
As for blaming Si Muqiao? That doesn't exist!
No matter what is in Simuqiao's jar, it is his freedom.
No one else has the right to interfere.
Xu Yongnian sneaked into someone's tent and stole things while no one was around, which is illegal.
After being bitten by the stolen thing, he opened his mouth and bit Simuqiao back. This is considered to be a bad behavior.
Doctor Xue disdains to associate with such people.
Even Si Muqiao felt very regretful.
If I had known that Xu Yongnian was such a weak person and had such evil intentions, I should not have brought him to Huer Lane to delay things.
Originally, I wanted to capture him to help treat illnesses and save lives.
Who would have thought that he would end up doing more harm than good.
Don’t ask, you will regret it if you ask.
He regretted not asking Xu Wei to break his legs earlier and then leaving him on the road to fend for himself.
"Doctor Xue, not only that, I think Xu Yongnian should also compensate me for my losses."
"I spent a lot of effort to catch that jar of scorpions. I plan to use them as medicine." Si Muqiao said.
"Well, that's natural. Don't worry, Miss Erya, I will take care of it for you." Doctor Xue comforted.
"Then I would like to thank Doctor Xue in advance."
Doctor Xue went to treat Xu Yongnian's scorpion wound.
Si Muqiao went to see Doctor Gao, holding the jar of centipedes she had picked up and the snake gall that she had collected earlier.
At this moment, Doctor Gao was sitting in the tent, staring in a daze at several anti-epidemic prescriptions he had written.
"Doctor Gao, are you considering infecting yourself with the plague?"
"No, don't even think about it."
"How do you know...wait, why do you look so familiar? Who are you?" Doctor Gao stood up and stared at Si Muqiao.
"Heimlich maneuver, peanuts." Si Muqiao reminded.
"You are a concubine? That's impossible. Isn't it said in the palace that you have angered His Majesty and have been confined to the cold palace?"
"How...how come you are here?" Doctor Gao rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Doctor Gao, those are all illusions."
"My name is Arya now, and my mission is to work with everyone to overcome the epidemic as quickly as possible."
"This is the gift I collected for you on my way here. I originally wanted to bring it back to the palace, but I didn't expect to find it here."
"Lady Si, you really torture me. I..." Imperial Doctor Gao's body was trembling.
"Doctor Gao, my leaving the palace was allowed by His Majesty and kept strictly confidential. I hope you can help me keep the secret."
"Just call me Arya."
"As for this gift, I hope you will accept it. To be honest, I want to learn acupuncture from you in the next few days."
"Of course, this is not an order, it's a plea. If you don't want to, or if you want to test me first, that's fine."
"How do you think of the book I gave you before?" Doctor Gao thought for a moment and asked.
“I’ve read it all.”
"In that case, let me test you first."
"Please come in, Imperial Doctor Gao."
Next, Imperial Physician Gao asked Simuqiao five or six questions from medical books.
Si Muqiao answered without any hesitation, and his answer was particularly fluent and accurate.
Doctor Gao asked a few more questions that were not related to the knowledge in medical books, and Simuqiao only answered about 30% to 40% of them.
Doctor Gao stroked his beard and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Er Ya, you have a great talent in medicine, and in some areas you are even better than me."
"You will stay with me for the next few days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Gao!" Si Muqiao immediately stuffed the gift into Doctor Gao's arms with a happy look on his face.
"This?" Doctor Gao wanted to open the jar to check.
But he was stopped by Si Muqiao.
"Doctor Gao, be careful, there are centipedes inside, living ones."
“……” Doctor Gao’s hand holding the jar trembled unconsciously.
What is this beautiful lady thinking?
Give him a live centipede as a gift?
Are you serious?
If all else fails, you can just give me some cooked centipedes.
He thought that the jar might contain tea.
What would have happened if he had quickly put the jar under his nose and smelled it...
Ahem, I dare not think about it.
"Doctor Gao, please let me know when you are ready to go for a consultation and I will help you carry the medicine box." Simuqiao said smartly.
If you want to learn from Imperial Doctor Gao, what's wrong with helping him carry his medicine box?
"The infection rate of the epidemic is extremely high. You may die if you are not careful. Are you really not afraid at all?" Doctor Gao asked, staring into her eyes.
"I am afraid, but from the moment I decided to study medicine, I told myself that I can't back down."
"If even I, a doctor, back off, what will happen to the sick people?"
"Well, you are worthy of being a member of the Si family."
"In a moment, you follow me closely, and you must remember everything I say." Imperial Doctor Gao looked at her with full admiration in his eyes.
Among the women in the harem, who can do this?
Even the many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau began to blame each other after hearing about the epidemic in Guozhou.
Although Simianren was a woman, she dared to go alone.
This made Doctor Gao deeply touched.
The Si family is full of loyal people.
Even the women from the Si family were no different.
