The man sat on the edge of the bed with a blank look in his eyes, muttering, "I'm not going to the room, I want to go home, why did you take me back to the room? What are you going to do?"
Jiang Sheng glanced at Yang Er and said softly, "Go out and guard. Don't let anyone in. I need to study this man's illness carefully. There's no rush to leave this town."
"...Third Young Master, you mean his illness is caused by the silkworm poison?"
"It's just a guess. We'll have to wait and see to find out."
The man seemed to have just come to his senses and stretched out his hand to struggle weakly. Jiang Sheng pinched his wrist and saw that his nails were indeed turning black and becoming sharper and sharper.
Jiang Sheng was distracted and was freed by him. He watched him run towards the door, but he accidentally tripped over a stool and fell directly onto the table.
A cup of tea slipped and fell to the ground, spilling the tea all over the floor.
The man fell directly to the ground, and when his hand touched the tea, he screamed as if he had touched hot oil. He quickly retracted his hand and looked at the ground in horror.
Jiang Sheng looked down and saw nothing on the ground except traces of tea. He asked in confusion, "Brother, what happened to you just now?"
"Since I said I'm a doctor, there must be a way to save you. You're poisoned now, so don't rush out, okay?"
"It hurts. It hurt so much just now."
"……pain?"
Jiang Sheng squatted down and touched the tea on the ground. It was still warm but he didn't feel anything. He looked at the shivering man and grabbed his hand and pressed it towards the tea on the ground.
The man screamed, "Ahhh, it hurts. It hurts so much."
He let go of his hand and watched the man scream. An idea flashed in his mind. He stood up and looked towards the door, shouting, "Yang Er, go down and ask someone to bring a bucket of water."
"I need both cold and hot water, and two wooden buckets."
Yang Er left quickly, leaving only two people in the room.
Jiang Sheng raised his lips slightly and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I just wanted to see what hurt you. Where is your wound? Let me take a look."
Without caring whether he agreed or not, she tore off his clothes and looked at the wound on his shoulder that was still bleeding. She squinted her eyes and moved closer, and sure enough, she saw the red thread still moving in the flesh.
It’s just that the quantity is very small, not as much as my brother said in the letter. With his hands behind his back, he took out a small thing from the space.
I approached the wound and picked out a silk nematode. As soon as it left the wound, it was visibly shrinking and completely motionless.
The man winced in pain and said weakly, "Doctor, you really need to heal me. Why is my wound bleeding again?"
Jiang Sheng lit the tinder and burned the thing, then stood up and said calmly, "It's okay, I just saw that your wound was a little black. I peeled it open and saw that it was nothing serious."
It's nothing serious for now. According to what my brother wrote in the letter, there aren't many silkworms at first after being infected, but if you don't control them, your body will be full of them.
People can also become very aggressive. This person looks different. Could it be because he was just bitten by a rat?
"Brother, can you tell me when your shoulder was bitten?"
The man sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, away from the puddle of tea on the ground, and whispered, "It was around dawn. I didn't notice it at first, I just felt a pain in my shoulder."
"When I reached out and touched it, I felt blood and realized I had been bitten by a rat."
Jiang Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Sheng opened the door and motioned for someone to come in. The waiter glanced inside the room and asked in confusion, "Sir, why is the teacup broken?"
"Oh, it's okay. This guy was feeling unwell and dizzy, so he accidentally broke it. It's okay. I'll pay you the money and you can go down now."
The person sitting on the ground had a dull mind, staring blankly at one place without saying a word.
Seeing this, the waiter said nothing more. He took the silver and went out to close the door. After Jiang Sheng and the others left, he said, "Stop the man's mouth and put him directly in the barrel."
Yang Er paused and didn't ask any questions. He picked up the man and was about to put him in the water when the man struggled violently.
As if he had seen something horrible, his eyes were filled with fear, and he shook his head frantically: "No, I don't want water. Hurry and put me down, or I'll call for help."
Jiang Sheng and the other person looked at each other and signaled with their eyes.
Yang Er nodded, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it directly into the man's mouth, then put him into the water. As soon as the man entered the water, he seemed to be scalded and struggled frantically.
Blood oozed from the wound on his shoulder. Jiang Sheng pressed the man down, soaking the wound in the water. The man's struggle became weaker and weaker.
Then he brought him out by the collar, tore open his clothes and looked at the wound on his shoulder. Bright red blood flowed out and the color of the wound was much better than before.
Yang Er took a closer look and whispered, "Third Young Master, this person's aura is much stronger than before. Could it be that the silkworm is afraid of water?"
"This... How can it be so simple? There's no need for medicine. I can just use water to expel it."
Jiang Sheng stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. The pulse under his fingertips was getting stronger and stronger. It was obvious that he was in a much better state than before, like a living person. He looked like a living person.
"Well, that's what it looks like at the moment, but we still need to see if there's anything unusual."
"Wait for him to recover a bit and then continue soaking until he is fully recovered. Once it is confirmed, send a letter as soon as possible and have your brother take action as well."
Yang Er nodded, understanding what he meant. Looking at the wilted man, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes. He was a medicine man who was sent to his door for free.
Jiang Sheng waited for half a day, and seeing that no one was abnormal, he completely let go of his worry. He began to write a letter and asked someone to send it to Pingcheng as soon as possible. The silkworms there were the most powerful.
The man woke up after sleeping for half a day. When he saw strangers in the room, he sat up straight and looked at them warily.
"Who...are you and why are you in my room?"
"Brother, don't be afraid. I'm a doctor. When you came downstairs today, you weren't feeling well, so I supported you and took your pulse. I found that you were poisoned."
Meng Shi's eyes were a little dazed, and it was obvious that he didn't remember these things clearly. He muttered, "How much is the consultation fee?"
Jiang Sheng smiled and looked very approachable: "If the medicine doesn't cost much, just give me ten copper coins. Consider it fate that we met."
"Oh, only ten coppers?"
"Yes, only ten copper coins. I have a connection with you, so naturally, these are enough. We will meet again in the future."
Meng Shi took out ten copper coins and watched him leave with the coins. He tore open his clothes and looked at the wound on his shoulder, which had already been treated and bandaged.
My mind also felt much clearer, and I muttered quietly: "I am really lucky. I met a noble person this time."
