The old man's medical skills were quite good; he quickly cleaned and bandaged Gu Linchao's wounds.
"Your wound is very deep, it's down to the bone. Don't let it get wet for the next few days. I'll prepare some medicine for you; remember to change the dressing every two days. Also, you need to decoct the medicine and take it orally twice a day." As he spoke, the old man wrote out a prescription and went to get the medicine himself.
Wen Nongnong helped Gu Linchao put down his sleeves. Seeing that the old man seemed to have good medical skills, she had a thought and followed him.
"Doctor, have you ever heard of the poison called 'Bone-Scattering Incense'?"
Upon hearing this, the old man paused in his work of preparing the medicine, turned around and glanced at her. "Why do you ask, young lady?"
Wen Nong Nong observed his expression and realized that he seemed to know about this poison. Overjoyed, she did not hide anything from him. "My husband has been ambushed by a villain and has been poisoned by this poison. I wonder if the doctor has any way to cure him?"
Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at Gu Linchao, who looked weary, stroked his beard, and asked in return, "Since you are husband and wife, why do you need to find another antidote?"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant.
He meant that since she and Gu Linchao were husband and wife, there was no need to find any other way; they could just sleep together.
Although the doctor's words were rather veiled, once Wen Nongnong understood them, even someone as thick-skinned as her couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But since she had already asked the question, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "To be honest, doctor, this young master and I are actually engaged, but we haven't gone through the wedding ceremony yet. We're just saying we're married for the sake of convenience on our journey."
The old man suddenly realized and pondered, "The Bone-Dispersing Incense is not actually a poison. It is a drug used to enhance sexual pleasure in the bedroom, but it is more potent than ordinary aphrodisiacs and lasts longer. It takes effect intermittently, and if the person who is poisoned does not eventually get relief, it may harm their body and cause problems for their health in the future."
Wen Nongnong didn't quite understand the meaning behind his words, but when she heard that it would be harmful to her body, she became anxious. "Doctor, please think of a way to cure my husband of this poison."
The old man shook his head. "I've only heard of this medicine, but I've never actually used it. I'm afraid I can't help you." He paused, and seeing how anxious she was, he gave her a suggestion. "Although this town is remote, it has everything you need."
Wen Nongnong was completely confused. What did that mean?
"Doctor, could you explain it more clearly?"
The doctor said meaningfully, "If it is inconvenient for you to detoxify your fiancé yourself, turn right after you go out and walk straight. There is a brothel at the end of the road. You can help your fiancé there and think of a solution."
Wen Nongnong finally understood what he meant. Her peach blossom eyes widened slightly as she stared at him in disbelief.
The old man seemed like a nice person; I never expected him to give her such a terrible idea.
If it weren't for his advanced age, she would have definitely plucked his beard.
What? He actually asked her to help Gu Linchao go to a prostitute? What was he thinking?
She glared at him angrily, "Disrespectful to your elders." Then she walked back to Gu Linchao's side.
Gu Linchao had already overheard her conversation with the doctor. His handsome face flushed slightly. Seeing her angry expression, he reached out and tugged at her sleeve. "Don't overthink it."
"Am I overthinking it? It was clearly this old man who came up with this terrible idea." Wen Nongnong sulked, taking her anger out on him. "Honestly, do you have the same idea?"
