The woman in the carriage took a deep breath and let out a long sigh before waking up.
"Qin Niang!" the man choked and called.
The woman looked at him with blank eyes. Then she remembered what happened and sat up with a scream, "My son——"
The man hurriedly hugged her and pointed to his side: "Xiao Dou is here."
The woman lowered her head and saw her son lying in the car. He was not being held in her arms. The carriage was jolting——
"He, I." The man looked at his son, "His body is full of needles -"
The woman saw her son's appearance clearly. There were gold needles on his chest and legs. She shouted "my son" again and was about to pull out the gold needles, but the man stopped her.
"Why did you stop me?" the woman cried. "What did that woman do to her son?"
The man stopped her: "Qin Niang, I don't know what she did to our son, so I don't dare to pull out these golden needles. If I do, my son will die immediately."
The woman also thought of this, covered her mouth and cried: "But if my son is like this, he will die, right?"
The man hesitated: "I kept watching, and my son didn't seem to be panting as much as before -"
The woman looked at her livid son and cried, "Are you stupid? If you don't breathe, you will die." Then she reached out and hit herself in the face. "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of my son. I shouldn't have taken him there."
Picking wild fruits, I killed him."
The man choked and hugged his wife: "We are about to enter the city. We are about to enter the city. We will find the doctor. Don't worry."
But how could he not be anxious? Of course he knew that being bitten by a poisonous snake was a life-threatening emergency, but he was stopped again on the way——
"Qin Niang." He hugged his wife and looked at his son, his eyes empty and filled with hatred. "I asked someone to report her to the official. If my son dies, I don't care who she is. I will sue her."
The gates of Wudu were still strictly checked. The man was not a nobleman. Looking at the crowd, he came forward to beg for help. The guard heard that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake and looked at the doctor. He only glanced inside the car and let him go immediately.
He asked if he was familiar with Wudu. When he heard the man said that although he was from Wu, he had been out of town, so he sent a soldier to guide them to the medical center. The man thanked him profusely and became even more determined to report to the official——
The soldiers and horses guarding the city were so understanding, how could they sit back and watch the robbers do nothing.
Because there were soldiers leading the way, I entered the hospital and heard that it was an emergency. Other patients with mild symptoms hurriedly got out of the way, and the doctor from the hospital came forward to see -
"Bitten by a poisonous snake?" he asked, "What kind of snake?"
The man took out a snake from the servant's hand and held it up: "This." He killed the snake firstly to vent his anger, and secondly because he knew that he needed to have a doctor look at it to get the right treatment.
When the doctor saw the snake, his eyes widened: "It fell down in seven steps - there is no way to save it!"
The woman's eyes turned black and she was about to fall down. The man said urgently: "Doctor, my son is still alive. He is still alive. Please save him quickly."
The doctor said: "How can you be alive? You have been bitten for so long - eh?" He looked down and saw the child, and was stunned for a moment, "Has this - been treated?" Then he reached out and opened the child's eyelids.
He whispered again, "He's really alive."
The man couldn't say anything anymore, he just knelt down and kowtowed. Seeing that the man was still alive, the doctor concentrated on treating him. While he was busy, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door.
"Who reported to the official? Who reported to the official?" "Why did you put people to death?" "The governor is here!"
The busy doctor was startled and stared at the man and woman: "Can I save you? You were bitten by a snake. You can't blame me if you die."
You actually send people to the hospital and report to the official at the same time? What kind of world is this?
Sheriff Li, who was about to go out for inspection and happened to bump into the servant who came to report to the police, also looked majestic when he heard this.
"Such unruly people will not be allowed under the emperor's feet." He shouted coldly.
That's right, now we are at the feet of the Emperor. When the King of Wu left, he did not leave. He had to protect the capital of Wu for the King of Wu. After all, the emperor was still there and they couldn't all just leave.
Now he works hard day and night, even patrolling the streets himself - he must let the emperor see his achievements, and then he, a minister of Wu, can become a court official.
There is no problem with this. Chen Liehu said that there is no longer a king of Wu, so of course they don’t need to be ministers of Wu.
After receiving the news from the reporting officer about the human life, County Sheriff Li personally followed him. Unexpectedly, what he brought here was the medical clinic - was this going to cause trouble? This is not allowed under the emperor's feet.
"No, no." The man explained hurriedly, "Doctor, I am not suing you. Even if my son cannot be saved, it has nothing to do with you, doctor. Sir, sir, listen to me. What I want to sue is that there are robbers outside the capital.
——”
The doctor didn't care anymore. With the government around, he couldn't falsely accuse him, so he concentrated on rescuing people. Here, County Sheriff Li and the city guards became more vigilant when they heard the word "robber" and took him aside for questioning.
"The King of Wu has just left, but the Emperor is still here. There are actually robbers in our Wu capital?" Commander Li was eager to lead people to catch the robbers immediately. "Tell me what's going on? I will investigate strictly and go to eliminate them myself."
The city guard also had a solemn look on his face. Most of the soldiers and horses from Wu Du had left. When the Wu soldiers left, robbers appeared. Doesn’t this mean they don’t take the imperial soldiers and horses seriously? We must frighten these robbers.
!
The man's anxiety and panic calmed down a lot. After entering the city, he was lucky enough to meet the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the governor of the capital. There were high-ranking officials and soldiers. His complaint was indeed correct.
"Sir, Master Bing, it's like this." He said hoarsely with tears in his eyes, "My son was bitten by a snake. I hurriedly went to the city to find the doctor. When I walked to Peach Blossom Mountain, I was stopped by someone who insisted on watching my son get bitten.
She treated us indiscriminately, and when we resisted, she arrested us. My son——"
Thinking of the scene at that time, his heart twitched in pain again. What kind of person could do such a thing and take human life as a trifle? Do they have the heart?
Before he finished speaking, the county guard and the general asked simultaneously in his ears: "Peach Blossom Mountain?"
The man nodded: "Yes, it's not far outside the city, at Peach Blossom Mountain, at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain -" He saw the governor's face become strange.
"Nonsense." Sheriff Li's expression returned to normal and he shouted, "The robbers at the Emperor's feet are passers-by since they are encountered on the road. If there is a quarrel, don't come and falsely accuse the robbers -
—Do you know how serious a crime it is to make a false accusation?"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves.
"Absurd! It won't happen again!"
The man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted: "Sir, I——"
Commander Li had already walked away without touching the ground. The general glanced at him and turned around and walked out. In a moment, all the officers and soldiers of Commander Li left, leaving him standing in the hall——
What's going on? Why did he make the false accusation? Ridiculous? He hasn't finished speaking yet!
Sheriff Li urged his horse to gallop far away from here before slowing down. He stretched out his hand and patted his chest. You don't have to listen to the end, it must be that Chen Danzhu!
"What has Miss Danzhu been doing lately?" he asked the servant next to him in a low voice, "I heard that I was going to open a drug store. Why did I get accused of robbery again?"
The officer heard the news and whispered: "No one buys medicine for consultation when Ms. Danzhu opens the medicine shop. She blocks the road at the foot of the mountain. Everyone who passes by here has to buy her medicine - no one dares to scare her over there."
After passing by, this family of outsiders, I don’t know, fell into the hands of Miss Danzhu.”
Tsk tsk tsk, so unlucky.
Commander Li was speechless. What could he say? He couldn't say anything, but he didn't see the soldier from the imperial court turning around and leaving without asking a word when he heard about Peach Blossom Mountain.
Miss Danzhu, who dares to take care of this?
"Let's go and continue patrolling the streets." Sheriff Li ordered, putting the matter aside as soon as possible.
The man chased him out and stood at the door when he saw the government team disappearing on the street. He could only turn around in confusion. Was the robber so powerful that he didn't even care about the government officers and soldiers?
Who is he?
At this time, a woman's cry rang out in the hall. The man's legs went weak and he almost fell down. His son——
"Okay." The doctor's voice also sounded, "You are lucky and have great fortune, so you can save your life."
Saved? The man rushed over with trembling legs and saw his son lying on the table. The woman was holding him and crying. The son was soft and his eyelids were trembling, but he slowly opened them.
The man knelt down and kowtowed to the doctor.
While the doctor was wiping his hands, he looked at the gold needles that were put away by the waiter.
"You don't have to thank me." He said, "I had the opportunity to save your son's life mainly because of the expert before. Without him, I would be a god and unable to save his life."
The kowtowing man was confused again and asked: "Who is this master?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He took the box of gold needles and handed it to him: "It's the master who used gold needles to seal the poison for your son - he should also give you the antidote. What kind of medicine is it? I have limited knowledge and can't tell.
He can't come out, but he can detoxify snake venom, he is really an expert."
The man stared blankly at the golden needle handed to him - an expert? An expert?
