Chapter 57 Pay the Medical Fee
Pars is a country west of the Great Gan Kingdom. Its people have brown eyes and curly hair, and they have trade relations with the Great Gan Kingdom. You can occasionally meet them in the capital.
People have only heard of Ming'an County, a remote place, but have never actually seen it.
Lu Qingqing thought that must be a Persian.
Seeing that Fu Leng looked constipated and couldn't answer, she looked at Mo Lang.
Mo Lang felt at that moment that he might not be so smart after all.
Just as he was blushing and about to say he didn't know either, he heard Lu Qingqing ask, "A rooster has two legs, how many legs do two rabbits have?"
Mo Lang hesitated and held up four fingers, then, thinking it wasn't right, added four fingers from his other hand.
"Correct! I knew you were smarter than Fu Leng!"
Is that so?
Mo Lang's poker face finally showed an expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a grin.
Suddenly, the cool and handsome guy turned into a goofball.
Fu Leng: "..."
Is this fucking fair?
Lu Qingqing just couldn't stand him!
He denies it!
Fu Leng glared at Mo Lang and stormed off.
When Fu Leng returned in the evening, he said that the people had been found, but they had all been arranged in another place.
He also told Lu Qingqing that the blood transfusion technique was little known and it was best to keep it a secret to avoid attracting the attention of the Holy Doctor Sect.
The Holy Physician Sect is not as sacred and noble as rumored.
After thinking it over, Lu Qingqing didn't let her father and Sixi follow her, and went with Fu Leng to a courtyard at the corner of the city.
There were already twelve people waiting in the courtyard.
They were all blindfolded, dressed in rich clothes, handsome, and tall and strong.
They are between their teens and twenties.
Two masked men with knives were guarding the area.
This is the blood donor that Fu Leng found.
They were kidnapped!
However, Lu Qingqing didn't dare to say anything. They had a secret, and she had better protect herself and pretend to be deaf and blind.
She began drawing blood for testing.
Of the twelve people, five were compatible with Xu Rui's blood type and did not experience any clotting.
She then selected the two people in the best physical condition from the five.
These two are the best looking, and their builds are similar to Xu Rui's.
Fu Leng was fairly satisfied.
He released the others, leaving only the two behind, and warned them in a different voice.
"You only need to stay here for a month, and you will be released unharmed!"
If you disobey, you will bear the consequences yourself.
The consequence was that the family suffered.
Those two masked men were truly terrifying; they could chop a table with their bare hands.
One of the young men was probably startled and reached out to grab Lu Qingqing's arm.
"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen, I promise." Lu Qingqing lowered her voice and patted the man's hand.
The long, clean, and strong hand slowly released its grip.
A slight smile appeared on the young man's lips.
“It’s your good fortune to have been chosen!” Fu said coldly.
If it weren't for his and Mo Lang's incompetence, would we still need their blood?
Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him.
Nobody wants this kind of good fortune!
Next, we'll begin preparations for a blood transfusion.
Lu Qingqing grasped Xu Rui's hand and rubbed the veins on the back of his hand.
Perhaps he was nervous, because he grabbed Lu Qingqing's hand in return, but only for a moment before letting go.
Knowing that being nervous is a good thing means that he no longer has the negative emotion of letting things take their course.
Lu Qingqing nodded to him in encouragement.
The toxic blood in Xu Rui's body has reached a delicate balance. If it is not possible to break this balance and cause the poison to flare up, it can only be cleared away piece by piece.
Therefore, it needs to be done in several sessions.
Introduce new blood to draw out toxic blood.
Once the toxins have diluted, medication can be used to break them down.
One night passed.
Lu Qingqing returned to the county government office.
Only Sixi was waiting for her in the inner courtyard of the county government office; Old Man Lu had already gone home.
Cui Shitou came to pick him up, saying that Lu Feng had some carpentry work he didn't know how to handle and asked him for advice.
“It’s no big deal, why did you have to go to the trouble of calling your grandpa back? I was even thinking of taking him around the county town!” Lu Qingqing said.
"Auntie, stop shopping for now, I have something to tell you..." Sixi leaned in and whispered in her ear.
"This county government office is very poor. That cook came and then left; she quit!"
She said the county magistrate owed her several months' worth of wages and wouldn't pay them!
We need to get the consultation fee out quickly.
Lu Qingqing laughed heartily.
What kind of ghost story are you telling?!
If a jailer embezzles several taels of silver, how could a county magistrate be short of money?
Deliberately withholding money from people, that's really despicable!
"Auntie, really, everyone knows that you have to pay the consultation fee before you receive treatment, so why didn't they pay?"
I must say, Sixi makes a lot of sense.
Fu Leng wouldn't be trying to get something for nothing, would he?
Money first!
It's best to secure the profits.
After Lu Qingqing praised Mo Lang for being smart, Mo Lang also started to gravitate towards Xu Rui.
He started taking over Fu Leng's jobs.
Fu Leng was so angry that he cursed at him.
"Even if you move closer, the young master won't pay you any attention!"
Mo Lang: "They're both my flesh and blood."
Fu Leng: "..."
That's a complete idiot, a total idiot!
They're just servants, yet they treat everyone like servants, as if they were the sons of a young master?!
This is so worrying!
Why is this guy mixed in with the Eighteen Guards?
"Then let's ask the young master to judge this matter and see if you're really that clever!"
Fu Leng pulled Mo Lang to find Xu Rui.
Xu Rui was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. He felt his strength return after just one blood transfusion.
The cold, heavy feeling, like being tied to a stone and falling into a river, suddenly lessened.
As the old saying goes, feeling light and refreshed.
My body felt lighter, and my suppressed mood gradually lifted.
He really was pulled out of the abyss.
He stared at his hands, recalling the hands that had turned decay into magic.
"Young master, I have two questions. Could you please tell me which one is more difficult?"
Fu Leng came in and raised the first question.
Even now, he still believes that Lu Qingqing deliberately made things difficult for him, and that such a thing simply doesn't exist.
However, Xu Rui immediately gave the answer.
“See, you’re the stupid one,” Mo Lang said, seizing the opportunity.
Fu Leng: "..."
Suddenly I felt very wronged.
It's actually quite simple.
Lu Qingqing wasn't talking nonsense.
"What's wrong? What's the second question?" Xu Rui asked gently.
The second question...
Even a dog could answer that!
Ugh! Isn't that insulting the young master as a dog?
Let's not ask!
Only Mo Lang gave this answer.
Mo Lang is a dog!
"Excuse me, may I come in?" came Lu Qingqing's clear voice from outside.
Xu Rui subconsciously straightened his already upright body and touched his crown.
Lu Qingqing is now considered a great doctor by the three of them, and Mo Lang opened the door even faster than Fu Leng.
Fu Lengqi gritted his teeth.
No one expected that Lu Qingqing had come to ask for medical fees.
"Five hundred taels for a life, that's reasonable, isn't it?"
Please pay in advance. My family is short of money. Summer is approaching, and our house is leaking. We want to get it repaired.
My dad was beaten recently. He's old and his health is slow to recover, so he needs ginseng to nourish him.
There's also a baby at home who's still breastfeeding; the baby was premature and weak, and it's very expensive.
They still owe money and haven't paid it all back. My older brothers are working day and night, their eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion.
