Chapter 565: Using Medicine
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Meatbail rarely urged Ah Yu to do missions anymore because it had carefully chosen a few growth-type missions for Ah Yu. These missions provided no rewards in the early stages, but there were generous rewards in the later stages. For example, promoting scientific education (opening a women’s academy), solving the plague (completing a basic mission once, but not completely resolved), improving the livelihood of the people (waiting for the Wang Family to completely rise and expand its influence), and promoting peace (uniting the countries with her status of a noble of West Wind Nation). These were all long-term missions.
Ah Yu did not have to worry about food and drinks now, so she naturally did not need to work hard for missions that rewarded few points. Meatbail paid more attention to Ah Yu’s knowledge and skills reserves, as well as her line of thinking.
“Are we going to save Big Brother Ah You?” All Yu did not care what mission the elf gave her. After interacting with it for many years, she trusted the elf the most.
She trusted it even more than she trusted Grandma.
[The description of this mission is more complicated. In any case, you just need to save him.]
Without Meatbail saying anything, Ah Yu had already begun to command Chi Jia. “Teacher Chi, please bring Big Brother All You to my house first—Tang Yuan, tell Grandma first.”
Chi Jia had already carried Qin Huai and walked around Ah Yu’s main room, placing him on the bed in the guest house.
“Miss Ah Yu, should we invite a doctor?” Chi Jia asked.
The reason for this question was that back in Hundred Flowers County, Qin Huai had given All Yu the title of a little divine doctor.
Although the name of the rumored little divine doctor was not given, it couldn’t be hidden from this group of people.
Moreover, they did not intend to hide it.
The Big Brothers of the Wang Family had long known that Ah Yu was not ordinary, but they never probed further or asked further. It was not that they were afraid that their willpower would be weak, but they were afraid that they would be used by someone with ulterior motives in the future and harm their sister.
The Crimson Guards had been trained from a young age. They would never investigate things they shouldn’t know. They wouldn’t look at things they shouldn’t see.
Of course, they would not think too deeply about things that they shouldn’t.
In that case, he would treat Miss Ah Yu as a little divine doctor. Now that something had happened to the Young Master, he naturally had to ask for her opinion first.
If they invited a doctor, it would definitely alarm some people.
If they could resolve it themselves, they could cover it up.
Ah Yu thought for a moment. “Go and invite Doctor Wen first. Tell him that 1 have a caught a cold and want to ask him to help prescribe a medicine.”
Chi Jia: “Yes.”
Doctor Wen was an acquaintance of theirs. His mother was Grandma Wen, the neighbor of Nanhe Town, and Wenwen’s father.
In the past few years, Old Madam Wang had deliberately interacted with them. She usually invited Doctor Wen to the Wang Estate to treat their ailments.
Doctor Wen sighed with emotion many times. Their family’s physique was good, and almost no one fell sick.
In the eyes of outsiders, their Wang Family was the same as ordinary families. They also had to fall sick and call for a doctor.
After Chi Jia left, All Yu revealed the anxiety in her eyes.
On the bed, Qin Huai was already unconscious. All Yu patted his face and called out to him a few times, but Qin Huai did not respond.
She took out the nutrient fluid and poured it in, but Qin Huai’s teeth were gritted tightly and he could not swallow it at all.
[His situation is special. Drinking the water is not very useful.]
“Elf, what’s wrong with Big Brother Ah You?” Ah Yu probed Qin Huai’s forehead and realized that one side of his forehead was cold and the other was hot. Clearly, something was wrong.
Not only that, his acupoints were bulging, as if a small person was living inside his veins and puffing out their cheeks.
[Wait, it’s being scanned.]
In order to prevent Ah Yu from becoming a widow, Meatbail couldn’t be bothered about the points and gave Qin Huai a full-body checkup package.
Because the checkup was very detailed, it took longer.
While waiting, a few people followed behind Old Madam Wang and entered the guest house one after another.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Ah Yu was so anxious that her face was covered in sweat, Old Madam Wang took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. Then, she looked at Qin Huai. “Why does he look so pale? Did he eat something bad?” No wonder Old Madam Wang had such a reaction. The Wang Family, Qin Huai, and even the Crimson Guards had all drunk the water from the spatial pocket.
Their physiques had already reached the highest level. They usually did not suffer from illnesses and were not easily tired.
Even ordinary poison had no effect on them.
Therefore, in spring, Madam Ma and Liu Shi would go to the mountain to pick mushrooms. They could pick any mushroom. In any case, in their opinion, it was fine to eat these mushrooms.
The water could also make one’s ears and eyes sharp. It was extremely good for children who studied literature and martial arts.
Therefore, Old Madam Wang did not expect Qin Huai to fall sick or be poisoned.
“Big Brother All You suddenly vomited blood just now and fainted. He hasn’t woken up yet. Grandma, his forehead is hot and cold. Is he poisoned?” All Yu spilled the beans and told Old Madam Wang what had happened.
Hearing All Yu’s description, Old Madam Wang leaned closer and pulled Qin Huai’s eyelids open. She then raised his hand and saw that his nails had turned dark red. Her pupils instantly constricted.
“Mother, what’s wrong? Did you see anything?” Wang Chuanman craned his neck outside and asked loudly.
“All of you, get out. Are you squeezing in here to watch the sideshow? Wang Chuanman, have you finished everything in your manor? Wang Chuangui, if you can’t pass the imperial civil service examination this year, scram to Hu Family Village. And you—”
Old Madam Wang glanced around. All the people who came to watch the show dispersed like birds and beasts and busied themselves.
Liu Shi was about to follow them out when she was stopped by Old Madam Wang. “Stay behind and let Erlang’s wife return to the Jiang Family. Tell her that I asked. Bring their thousand-year-old wild ginseng over. Hurry!” “Mother, isn’t that their family’s heirloom? Can they give it to our family?” Liu Shi said.
Old Madam Wang: “If I ask you to do it, just do it. Why are you talking so much? Not to mention a family heirloom, even if they want their family’s lifeblood, they have to give it to me!”
When Jiang Wujing heard this from outside, she went to the stable without a word. She casually picked a horse and rode it towards the Jiang Family.
After arriving at the Jiang Family, she went straight to see Great-Grandma Jiang and said that the Wang Family’s Grandma wanted the wild ginseng. She did not mention Qin Huai at all.
Great-Grandma Jiang did not ask further. She handed the key to the storeroom to Jiang Wujing and said, “My legs are weak. Go and get it yourself. It’s in the top compartment of the storeroom. In order to avoid trouble, there’s also a box of thousand-year-old lingzhi beside it. Take it too. If you have to use it, use it. There’s no need to bring it back.”
The old woman beside her hurriedly said, “Ancestor, those are our Jiang Family’s heirlooms. How can we give them to outsiders?”
“The Wang Family are our in-laws. How can they be considered outsiders?” Great-Grandma Jiang sneered. “Why? Don’t I have the right to deal with the things 1 saved up?”
The old woman lowered her head and slapped herself. “I spoke too much!”
When Jiang Wujing returned to the Wang Family with the herbs, Old Madam Wang chopped a few pieces with a kitchen knife and opened Qin Huai’s mouth for him to swallow.
“Grandma, that’s it?” All Yu stood over Qin Huai and looked at him, but there was no change.
“It’s still early. His life is hanging by the gates of hell, and there’s still a lot to do,” Old Madam Wang said. “1 just don’t know if the other side can hold on.”
This thing was very poisonous. If they were not careful, the people on both sides would lose their lives.
It was unknown who was connected to the other end.
She hoped that it was not this child’s enemy..
