Chapter 138 Serious Injury
In the cold and bleak courtyard, the night was hazy with a layer of light white mist, as if the night fog was spreading around.
A figure in a light blue dress was hiding in a rockery. It was Rong Su.
She finally shook off Gu Yuer who had been staring at her and hid in the rockery, only then did she find a chance to ask the reader in detail.
She was drinking the medicine when suddenly the reader popped up in front of her, which scared her.
After reading the content given to her by the reader, she was so frightened that she almost knocked over the bowl of medicine in her hand. For this reason, she sent Gu Yuer away on the pretext of needing hot water.
Now, Rong Su stood in the rockery, his face stern, staring at the reader and asked, "If Shen Peiqing dies now, does it mean that my mission has completely failed, and my fate will return to the starting point?"
【Yes】
Wouldn't that mean everything she did would be in vain!
If she had known earlier, she should have let Shitou and Shen Peiqing go. But if Shitou and Shen Peiqing had gone, no one would have gone to find Prince Jin'an, and Lianxin's fate would have been unchangeable.
No matter how she thought about it, there was no way to have the best of both worlds. Rong Su closed her eyes and felt a slight pain in her head again.
When she opened her eyes again, she stared directly at the reader, her panicked mind beginning to calm down: "What should I do to save Shen Peiqing?"
[Host, please find the villain Shen Peiqing quickly. He has been poisoned and seriously injured. If he is not treated, he will die.]
Is not this nonsensical?
Unable to bear the reader's nonsensical answer any longer, he sullenly threatened the reader in a low, cold voice, "Where is Xiaozhu? Let him answer me! Otherwise, let Shen Peiqing die, even if we all perish together!"
This dangerous statement instantly stimulated the silent assistant.
[Xiaozhu: Please calm down, host! There is a way. All you need to do is exchange 500 reputations for the villain's location, then reach that location as quickly as possible within one day and treat the villain. You can then overcome the villain's death crisis.]
500 reputation? Oh, that's right, it was her medical reputation. It had been so long that she almost forgot about this mission.
"What is my current reputation as a doctor?" Rong Su asked in a deep voice, pressing his fingers on his temples.
[Retrieving values, retrieved successfully, Rong Su's current medical reputation is: 850]
[Xiaozhu: Does the host have to use his fame to gain the position of villain? ]
Rong Su looked at Xiao Zhu's question, which he asked knowingly, and couldn't help but sneer, which was extremely terrifying. "Ha. Do I have a choice? Hurry up and tell me! Shen Peiqing's exact location!"
The last sentence was almost asked in a growl, with a hint of gnashing of teeth in it.
Xiaozhu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. He quickly called up the reader screen to block Rong Su's evil spirit.
[Deducting 500 Medical Skill Reputation points. Investigation into the villain Shen Peiqing's location has begun. Investigation in progress...]
[Investigation completed. The villain Shen Peiqing is currently located in an abandoned yard in Anrong Town. The host can find the villain Shen Peiqing at the red mark on the map.]
A map of Anrong Town soon popped up in front of him, with a red location marked on the map.
That should be where Shen Peiqing is now.
However, he was in Anrong Town, which was two days' journey from Xuancheng. Even if he rode at full speed, it would still take a day and a night.
Arriving in one day was simply impossible. Rong Su frowned, staring at the reader, thinking for a moment, and asked coldly, "Is there any way to get to Anrong Town as soon as possible? Don't talk nonsense with me, tell me the solution, or we will all die together!"
She had long grasped the lifeblood of the reader and knew that this thing had asked her to do these tasks for some unspeakable purpose. As for what it was, she didn't know, but one thing was certain.
That is, the reader needs her, and she cannot die. If she dies, the reader will definitely be in big trouble.
The reader seemed to have jumped, and the light screen kept flickering slightly.
After a long time, the reader has returned to normal.
[Host, do you want to deduct 100 medical reputation points to teleport to the vicinity of the villain Shen Peiqing? You only have one chance.]
Sure enough, she was right. There was no way the reader would give up on her.
Rong Su nodded seriously: "Yes."
Medical reputation points can be earned slowly, and it doesn’t matter even if the task cannot be completed within a year. At worst, you can just give up the reward, but Shen Peiqing cannot die!
After she confirmed it, a light around her instantly engulfed her. After a while, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a dark and damp alley.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, she calmed down her rapidly beating heart.
After being suddenly enveloped by the light just now, she could feel that her body had lost control for a moment, as if her soul was forced to separate, and a feeling of panic arose spontaneously.
She spread out her palms and clenched her fingers together a few times. Seeing that her body still belonged to her, she felt a little relieved.
Then she opened the map of Anrong Town that the reader had just given her.
The red dot above is still there, but it's starting to get fainter.
Could it be that this weak means that Shen Peiqing is beginning to be unable to hold on?
Rong Su felt that she couldn't wait any longer and had to find him as soon as possible.
After walking out of the alley, it was already midnight. There were few people on the street, only night watchmen or patrolling officers and soldiers were walking around.
In order to avoid the soldiers, she spent a lot of effort and finally found a pharmacy that was still open after searching for a while.
He hurried in and spent fifty taels of gold to get the shop owner to buy the few herbs he had left. He also asked the owner for a small pot of liquor.
After finding what she needed, she didn't wait a moment and went straight to the abandoned yard where Shen Peiqing was.
After watching Rong Su hurriedly leave the shop, the shop owner shook his head and said worriedly: "This girl is not resting at night and is still running around on the street. I'm really worried that she will encounter a flower thief."
Rong Su passed through several alleys before finally seeing the location of the red dot shown on the map.
It was a very desolate and remote little courtyard, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
There doesn't seem to be anyone living around here, and it's a little far from the town center.
Without caring about anything else, Rong Su held the things, pushed the door open and walked straight in.
After she entered, a dark shadow passed by the wall behind her.
After entering the yard, Rong Su looked around. The middle of the yard was already overgrown with weeds, and the rooms inside were shabby, dilapidated, and in a state of disrepair.
These were not the places she was interested in. She looked at the red dot on the map again, searched for it, aligned the map with the direction, and found the room on the right that looked like a woodshed.
Rong Su put away the map and walked straight towards the room.
Just as she stretched out her hand to push the door open, a large hand stained with blood reached out from inside and directly strangled her throat. The force was so great that it instantly squeezed all the breath out of her mouth.
Rong Su had no choice but to struggle up, opening her mouth to breathe, and shouting with all her might: "Yes, it's me!"
The other person seemed to recognize her voice and quickly loosened his grip. Just as she was breathing again and taking a deep breath, she was hugged tightly by him. She inhaled a lot of strong fishy smells into her nose, as well as some of the other person's own cool breath.
"Yong Su. Is that you?"
His voice was very hoarse, like the sound of grinding stones against each other. It was not very unpleasant, but it was not pleasant either, and it was a bit low.
Before Rong Su could say anything, Shen Peiqing had already fallen on her. She almost couldn't stand. If there wasn't a relatively sturdy door next to her to help her, she might have been pressed to the ground by Shen Peiqing.
His body was so hot. Rong Su frowned and used her free hand to touch his forehead, which was as hot as a stove.
He has a high fever!
Glancing sideways at his messy, slightly damp hair covering his tightly closed eyes, and an abnormal blush on his cheeks, Rong Su sighed helplessly and murmured softly, "I didn't owe you anything in my previous life, so why do you always cause me trouble?"
After a lot of effort, she finally moved him in and let him lean against the pile of rotten and moldy firewood. Then she turned around and looked at the herbs and liquor wrapped in cloth that she had wrapped.
Seeing that everything was fine, he turned around and checked Shen Peiqing's condition and situation.
Because the room was too dark and the moonlight outside was always blocked by a layer of clouds, it was difficult for light to come in.
Rong Su stood up, lit the tinder, looked around, and found an abandoned oil lamp in a dark corner. Fortunately, the wick of the oil lamp was not used up yet.
After straightening the wick with your fingers, you can light the oil lamp with a tinder. The oil lamp can be lit normally.
After blowing out the tinder, he put the oil lamp aside, and the entire dark room was instantly lit up.
Seeing that it was much brighter, Rong Su went to carefully check Shen Peiqing's injuries and the poison he had been infected with.
Her fingers pinched his pulse, and as the sound of the pulse gradually weakened, Rong Su frowned: "Not good! His breath is getting weaker!"
He quickly took out the prepared silver needles, opened the lid of the liquor, disinfected the silver needles with the liquor, then pinched them with his fingers, identified several of his acupuncture points, and inserted them accurately.
The other hand kept checking his pulse until he was sure his breathing was recovering a little, and then he stopped giving him acupuncture.
My eyes fell on his chest. There were traces of cuts from a sword on his clothes, and there was a black spot. It was obvious that the wound was on his chest.
Without thinking, Rong Su went straight to work and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his strong and sturdy chest and the texture of his skin as white as snow. Of course, she didn't have any other thoughts at the moment.
Staring at the knife wound that was already festering and blackening, the large wound extended from his left chest to his right waist, and one could even see blood gushing out.
The flesh and blood were mixed together, and the blood was all black. It seemed that the enemy's sword was poisonous.
Rong Su still didn't know what the poison was, but fortunately she had bought some herbs that could relieve the effects of the poison.
After rummaging through a cloth bag on the side and finding the herbs she needed, she became troubled again because she had forgotten to buy a tool for grinding herbs from the boss.
But when he looked down at the wound on Shen Peiqing's chest that was beginning to turn black and rot, he sighed, and helplessly put the herbs into his mouth and began to chew them with his teeth.
The bitterness and sourness of the herbs spread in her mouth. She frowned as she chewed them until they seemed to have eroded. She then spat them out from her mouth, put the saliva in her hand, and crushed them into a medicine ball. She took a look at it and felt a little disgusted with the medicine ball, but she had no other choice, so she spread it flat on his chest.
When her fingers touched his wound, the drowsy Shen Peiqing seemed to feel pain, and a short and painful cry escaped from his thin pale lips.
Hearing his painful groan, Rong Su paused for a moment, then continued to repeat the previous movements with an expressionless face until he had healed his terrible wound with the erosive medicine ball.
At this time, the black blood also became lighter and stopped flowing out.
In order to prevent the toxins from traveling through his blood and corroding his internal organs, Rong Su began to seal several of his acupoints with silver needles again, and then used a silver needle to force all the toxins to concentrate on his wrist.
Then, without hesitation, he used another silver needle to cut his wrist and let the blood out.
Black, foul-smelling blood gushed out from the cut on his wrist and dripped onto the ground. One could even see the ground corroded by the black blood.
Looking at this scene, Rong Su's heart sank. Could it be that the killer was sent by Shen Fengyu?
This kind of poison is so vicious that it can kill ordinary people if they are not careful.
Only because Shen Peiqing had recovered some of his internal strength was he able to seal his vital veins before the poison spread to his internal organs, preventing the poison from taking his life so quickly.
He raised his eyes and saw that half of Shen Peiqing's face was splashed with blood. He didn't know whether it was his own or the other person's, or maybe both.
Seeing that Shen Peiqing's complexion seemed to have improved a little, he first pulled out the silver needles from his acupuncture points, and then temporarily covered him with his clothes to prevent the cold wind from aggravating his condition.
Thinking of something again, Rong Su got up and went out to look into the yard. When she came in just now, she seemed to have seen a well in the weeds. Maybe there was water in it.
After arriving at the yard, I looked for a while and saw the well among the tall weeds.
Rong Su walked over and looked into the well. Because it was too dark, she couldn't see clearly whether there was water. She turned around and looked at the ground, picked up a stone and threw it into the well.
Then he leaned over and listened, and after a while, he heard the sound of stones falling into the water.
After making sure there was water in the well, Rong Su looked for the kitchen in the yard again.
Where there is a place to store firewood, there must be a kitchen.
Thinking of this, she quickly found a smaller kitchen not far from the firewood storage room.
The kitchen was a mess, with miscellaneous items scattered everywhere, and even a layer of black solidified on the stove.
It looked like the stove had been burned before, as the ground nearby was also covered in a layer of gray and black.
He quickly scanned the inside and found a wooden barrel. After a lot of effort, he found a rope that was still usable and strong.
He tied the rope to the wooden barrel and tied a tight knot, then returned to the well and lowered the barrel down.
Feeling that the wooden barrel was full of water, Rong Su began to pull the barrel up. However, since she was not very strong, it took her some time to pull the barrel up.
"Ho...ho..."
Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, she put her fingers into the bucket, scooped a small amount, sniffed it, and took a sip. When she found that there was no problem, she prepared to move back.
But as soon as she moved, she felt someone behind her.
She couldn't help but become alert, because she knew it couldn't be Shen Peiqing, because Shen Peiqing was seriously injured now, it was impossible for him to wake up so quickly, and this yard had been abandoned for a long time, so it was impossible for him to be the owner of the yard. So the person behind her at this moment was not the one chasing Shen Peiqing, so he might be a gangster!
