255 Accident
Three days later, Lin Suisui saw those addicted soldiers in Doctor Luo’s courtyard.
“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful thing in all my years as a military doctor!” When Lin Suisui went over, Doctor Luo and the others had already checked the six soldiers.
Therefore, when he saw Lin Suisui, he didn’t hide his shock.
Lin Suisui frowned slightly. When she heard the number of people Doctor Luo mentioned, she couldn’t help but question, “Why are there only six people? Previously, I heard from Mr. Pei that eight soldiers were sent back!”
“Two of them couldn’t withstand it and died.” Doctor Luo lamented regretfully, “They were both young men. They didn’t die on the battlefield, but died because of this…
It’s really heartbreaking!”
“This type of hemp leaf is very addictive. In the beginning, if one can restrain themselves, they might escape the control of this herb. However, most people don’t know much about it, so when they become addicted and realize that something is wrong, it’s already too late!”
Lin Suisui glanced at the soldiers who were placed on the six beds in the room. According to Doctor Luo’s previous instructions, these people had all drunk the calming soup as soon as they arrived and were already asleep.
“This placement won’t do. They’ll go crazy when the withdrawal takes effect!
“Get someone to use chains to temporarily restrain them on the bed. Then, we’ll gag their mouths with cork to prevent them from hurting themselves and others when the poison acts up!”
Lin Suisui retracted her gaze and whispered to Doctor Luo, “Also, it’s too cramped to accommodate the six of them in this room. Get Su Le and the others to help separate them later!
Having two people per room was the best arrangement!
“This way, with the six of you, two people can be in charge of taking care of each room. You can also take turns to rest!”
“That’s easy, but can the poison in their bodies be detoxed?!” Doctor Luo didn’t care too much about these trivial matters now. He was more worried about the future of the six soldiers.
If the poison in their bodies couldn’t be detoxed, their future would probably be ruined!
Seeing that these six young former comrades had no future and could only rely on that hemp leaf to survive…
Just thinking about it made his heart ache!
“Yes! I’ll think of a way no matter what!” Lin Suisui looked at Doctor Luo as she replied firmly, “Previously…”
Lin Suisui originally wanted to say that she had lived on the southern border with her mentor for a period of time, but thinking of her current identity, in order to avoid trouble, she quickly changed her words and explained to Doctor Luo in a low voice, “I’ve read about my mentor’s life at the southern border in his journal.
Inside his journal, there was a way to deal with people addicted to hemp leaves!
Although I can’t guarantee that the solutions he recorded are absolutely effective, the reason this poison harms people is that people rely on it too much!
Then, as long as we stop people from thinking about it, this poison will naturally be detoxified!”
Hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Doctor Luo nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. It’s like how a previous patient was addicted to alcohol! He feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t drink for even a single day. When he can’t take it anymore, he beats people and goes crazy!
“But later on, he was forcefully imprisoned. As time passed, he survived without drinking. After that, even if he didn’t drink, he could live like an ordinary person!”
“Yes, that’s right! However, in order to make them feel more comfortable, I’ll try to concoct some medicine to calm them down and nourish them. No matter what, they need rest!”
Lin Suisui and Doctor Luo discussed the treatment method in detail for almost four hours.
When Lin Suisui left the small courtyard where Doctor Luo lived and boarded the carriage to rush home, it was already dawn.
Lin Suisui thought about the way the southern border’s people dealt with those who were addicted. As she deliberated over the configuration of the prescription and didn’t notice the commotion outside the carriage.
When the violent impact came, if not for the fast reaction of Bai Guo and Yin Qiao, who were sitting beside her, she would have fallen out!
Bai Guo protected Lin Suisui. Seeing that she was only slightly frightened and wasn’t injured, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she turned around and lifted the curtain as she asked anxiously, “What’s going on?!”
“Someone’s blocking the carriage!” Su Le had already unsheathed the long saber in his hand, and the mounted guards who were originally following the carriage quickly rode over to block Lin Suisui’s carriage. They formed a confrontation with the group of people coming over.
The thing that caused the entire carriage to tremble was a warhorse that had fallen in front of the carriage.
This unscrupulous tactic angered those who followed their master to the military camp and participated in the battlefield!
“Who are you guys?!” However, although he was dissatisfied, Su Le didn’t act rashly.
Although a large portion of the dregs in Cloud Mountain City had been wiped out by his master, it didn’t mean that the entire northern region was completely peaceful!
If the person sitting in the carriage were his master, he would have swung his saber over without even batting an eye! But now, the person sitting in the carriage was Lin Suisui!
He didn’t dare to be careless!
“Is the extremely capable Madam Liu sitting in the carriage?!” A group of men in military attire surrounded by heavy cavalry opposite them stood against the sunlight, making it impossible to see their appearances. However, the arrogance in his tone was obvious. “I don’t care where you come from. Since you’re in the north, you have to follow the rules of the north!
Today, I’m just teaching you a small lesson and letting you know that the northern region is not a place where you can act atrociously!
I’ll give you three days to personally kneel down and apologize to the princess!
Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?” Lin Suisui’s clear voice penetrated through the carriage door as she interrupted the person on the horse. “Since I dared to order the door of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry to be blown up, I’m not afraid that you’ll stop my carriage on the street!
I don’t know your background, but I know that if news of you, a general who leads the army, ruining a warhorse like this reaches your superiors, at the very least, you’ll definitely be subject to martial law!
If you get beaten up, how can you please Princess Ning Fu?!”
