Save the Family Doctor (15)
“Beep, beep, beep—!”
!
The phone rang, and Jiang Yuanshi suddenly woke up and sat up, completely unaware that a creature in his chest was bounced away by his big movement.
Jiang Yuanshi frantically searched his entire body and finally found his cell phone next to his pillow.
Fan Dian’s phone call.
"Hello, Mr. Fan, what happened?"
Jiang Yuanshi's own pounding heartbeat was particularly obvious in his ears, almost drowning out the other person's voice. He tried hard to stay awake and calm his heartbeat before he could hear clearly. However, after such a long time, he knew what was going on without thinking. Fan Dian's call proved that something had happened to Li Pu.
Fan Dian: "Oh no, Brother Jiang, something happened in Lipu."
Jiang Yuanshi: "What happened to your wife?"
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Just when Jiang Yuanshi thought it was a bad signal, Fan Dian spoke up, "Brother Jiang, something bad has happened. Li Pu seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. Come quickly!"
?
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes, rubbed his face, and pressed his ears.
Strange, I heard it right.
"Okay, Mr. Fan, I'll do it as soon as possible."
"I've sent someone over. It's an emergency, sorry, brother. I'll get you a new door when the time comes!"
So you knew it... Jiang Yuanshi complained in his heart.
After the phone call ended, Jiang Yuanshi thought that it was a fixed plot anyway, so he just lay back down and waited for someone to lift him up. But halfway through lying down, he suddenly felt like something was missing, and he looked left and right.
Where's his snake?
"I'm the host here." Z01's voice came from somewhere. Jiang Yuanshi followed the sound and successfully found the system snake with difficulty moving in the gap between the cabinets opposite the bed.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yuanshi wondered as he moved the cabinet to scoop up the snake. "Do snakes prefer dark and narrow places?"
Z01: …
Z01 didn't explain, but simply thanked him and wrapped his arm around his host's wrist. Jiang Yuanshi quickly went to the bathroom to wash his face and then rushed back to bed. Z01 didn't quite understand his strange behavior: "Why don't you go out?"
Jiang Yuanshi said confidently, "Since those guys are going to break in and carry me out again, I might as well try a more comfortable position. It was really uncomfortable when they pinched my armpits last time. It's better to be carried out the first time."
Z01 felt helpless but since it was Jiang Yuanshi, it was normal.
Z01 chose to continue quietly holding the host's wrist.
Within a few seconds, explosions were heard and a group of people rushed into the room. Jiang Yuanshi took the initiative and was carried out with peace of mind.
Fandian Villa
Doctor Jiang, who had put on his work suit again, went up to the second floor with his medicine box. Before he could knock on the door, a huge man rushed out and met his face. It was Fan Dian. Before Doctor Jiang could say anything, Fan Dian was like seeing a savior: "Brother Jiang, you are finally here. Come and see what happened to Li Pu!"
In the past, Fan Dian would have rushed him in, but this time, Fan Dian hid behind Jiang Shi as if he had seen a ghost. Doctor Jiang didn't quite understand what had happened to make Fan Dian so panicked. He even stopped calling him his wife and addressed her by her full name, "Mr. Fan, may I ask what happened to Mr. Li?"
"He's possessed! Go check it out!"
Doctor Jiang:?
He is a doctor, not a Taoist priest.
The bedroom was very large. Jiang Yuanshi had already discussed with the system whether to exchange some talismans to exorcise evil spirits from a distance of a hundred meters. However, when he got to the bed, he saw Li Pu wrapped in a quilt with several leather belts tied around the outside of the quilt. His eyes were a little dazed and his face was flushed. His gaze bypassed Dr. Jiang and locked onto Fan Dian behind him, which made Fan Dian tremble with fear.
Fan Dian urged with difficulty: "Doctor, please take a look at him and see what's wrong with him."
At this moment, Jiang Yuanshi began to wonder whether he was thinking too much or the other party was a fool.
Anyone with eyes knows that spring has come, but it's not quite normal.
Z01 checked and replied in his mind: "Host's judgment is correct. This character has been drugged. Prohibited words have been detected and blocking mode has been activated."
Sure enough, Fan Dian is a fool.
"Mr. Fan, based on our current judgment, Mr. Li should have been drugged." What exactly is being blocked?
"What!?" Fan Dian was shocked. Jiang Yuanshi was speechless. He wanted to know the reason: "Mr. Fan, what strange behavior did Mr. Li do that made you think he was possessed?"
Fan Dian frowned, his expression 70% shocked, 20% bewildered, and 10% excited. "That's so weird! He usually avoids me. If I hadn't been so persistent, I wouldn't even be able to hold his hand. But guess what? Not long after dinner today, he actually started rubbing against me. From time to time, he looked at me with that look, the kind with red eyes that makes people angry. Do you understand? He's like a vixen. She can't be my wife. What else could she be if not possessed? He doesn't like me at all. I forced him to do it!"
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
Z01: ………
Jiang Yuanshi: You could say he's stupid, but he's also a bit smart. If you say he's smart, he's only a bit smart.
Z01: It may be due to insufficient funds, which leads to the incomplete character.
For the first time, Jiang Yuanshi felt that the system was quite good at scolding people.
Jiang Yuanshi could no longer understand how this couple got along, but he only knew one thing, that is, Li Pu was really flirting with a blind man.
Jiang Yuanshi once again played the role of a doctor. He opened the medicine box and asked Mr. Fan to untie Mr. Li. I need to give him an injection. After knowing the correct answer, Fan Dian said "Oh oh oh" and stepped forward. Under Li Pu's resentful eyes, he apologized like a young wife and dragged the man's arm out.
Doctor Jiang expertly injected the patient with glucose solution. "It will take some time for the drug to be excreted after this injection. During this time, you can drink more hot water or exercise, if you can."
Fan Dian nodded, and like a good student, he applied what he had learned to another question: "Then, doctor, if he can't do it, can I do it?"
Jiang Yuanshi: Where the hell is your brain?
"Well... Mr. Fan, the method you mentioned is actually the best solution, but Mr. Li is still recovering..." Dr. Jiang, facing the fiery and resentful gazes of Fan Dian and Li Pu, sighed casually and said, "Excessive exercise is not recommended. Moderate exercise is the main approach."
Fan Dian was delighted: "Thank you so much!"
Li Pu smiled: "Excuse me, doctor."
Enough is enough, he wants to go home.
But no matter how the original plot is changed, it will eventually circle back. Jiang Yuanshi really wants to know how Li Pu took the Chinese medicine after that, but when he asked them, they themselves didn't know how they took it. After thinking about it, Jiang Yuanshi asked: "Excuse me, did Mr. Li eat anything of unknown origin during this period?"
Fan Dian: "No, I don't think so. We had an argument this morning and he was so angry that he smashed his meal. He was busy all day, so when he came back from the hospital I gave him some old duck soup. I made it this morning, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"But the housekeeper was still there in the morning." Jiang Yuanshi quickly realized this.
"Our housekeeper's on vacation, so there's nothing..." Fan Dian suddenly realized, his face flushing with excitement. "Oh, you mean those bastards from the Li family, right? Hey! I forgot about that! Wait for me to find someone to do some tests, and on the way I'll stop by his house to find someone to beat him up again."
Fan Dian slapped his forehead, making a loud bang. Jiang Yuanshi looked tired and said, "If that's the case, don't drink the soup anymore."
"No more. I drank what he left."
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
Fan Dian: "Wait, why am I okay?"
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and took out the syringe: "Mr. Fan, please extend your hand."
Fan Dian was puzzled but held out his hand: "But I'm really fine."
"Your face is red and your breathing is rapid. Maybe you were too nervous just now and your wife forgot." Jiang Yuanshi gave an injection to the thick and strong arm. The skin on Fan Dian's arm was wheat-colored, but his face was two shades darker than his arm. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell that it was red.
Black and red.
Fan Dian and Li Pu thanked Dr. Jiang again. Dr. Jiang smiled politely and quickly moved his upper body horizontally without moving to avoid seeing any unspeakable scenes.
A random door appeared outside the villa. Jiang Yuanshi decisively opened the door, confirmed that it was his own home, and immediately went in and closed the door.
When Jiang Yuanshi returned home, he relaxed his strength, went from standing at attention to half-bent on a crutch, and limped to the sofa. He leaned his head against the backrest, raised his right hand, looked at the snake on his wrist, and asked, "System, you said Li Pu's plot hasn't escaped, is mine about to end?"
Z01 could come up with the answer without having to analyze it: "Yes, most of the quests in the novice world are guided, which is unavoidable."
Jiang Yuanshi wondered, "What does this Chinese medicine for shielding actually teach? Is it supposed to teach about human sexual behavior?"
The host's words were violent and blunt. Z01: "...The probability of this answer happening is 0. The plot usually involves guiding the host on how to use his willpower, etc."
After Z01's reminder, Jiang Yuanshi remembered that he had asked Z01 to exchange the card and items. Z01 did not refuse: "What do you need to exchange?"
Jiang Yuanshi opened his mouth and said, "First, two powerful sleeping cards, and then a bottle of sleeping pills."
Z01: "...Host, the mission world does not support self-destruction."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I'm already dead, where else can I go? I just thought that if I really can't escape the Chinese medicine, I'll get the injection and then knock myself unconscious. I might even wake up after a good sleep and have defecated and be fine."
It makes a lot of sense and logic, but the behavior is quite scary.
"But you may have forgotten that no matter how powerful a function card is, it will automatically become ineffective if it encounters the next plot."
"It's not like another one will come right after I finish this one." Jiang Yuanshi calculated, "I see that the domineering CEOs in novels take at least a day and a night to deal with it, which is enough for me to digest."
Z01: "..."
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy and a little hot. "But I didn't touch anything strange, so how can I trigger the plot? If it really happens, it's better to do it now, otherwise it will be a disaster if something goes wrong outside."
“…”
Jiang Yuanshi held his forehead with one hand, his eyelids too sleepy to open, his hands and feet weak, and his speech slowed down: "System... why... aren't you talking?"
The air was very quiet. After a long while, the system's voice rang in Jiang Yuanshi's ears: "Host, you have taken Chinese medicine."
"oh."
…
…………
………………?
Jiang Yuanshi pried up his eyelids and stood up: "Wait, how come I didn't do anything?"
The system was silent for a long time, and finally uttered two words. Its calm tone was filled with an inexplicable sense of guilt. It only said:
"Snake venom."
