Chapter 98: Strange disease? Poisoning?
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Master Li's attitude changed really quickly!"
"Thank you, Doctor Ling, for your praise."
Shang Ruoyi rubbed her wrist. Lord Li saw this and kicked the yamen runner on the leg: "You hit me without restraint. You hurt Doctor Ling's hand."
Shang Ruoyi waved her hand: "It's okay."
She walked up to Shopkeeper Qian and Madam Qiao, bowed and said, "Thank you both for today."
"Haha, you are our host's honored guest, my young lady's savior." Shopkeeper Qian bowed and said, "If you need anything in the future, just ask. Our Lu family and Tianyun Casino will definitely do their best to help you."
Mrs. Qiao walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Miss Shang, do you have time to come to your house and sit down?"
Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly. The Qiao family was indeed powerful. They were able to find out her true identity in such a short time. It was truly extraordinary.
"I'm very happy to do so." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "Since I came to Shan Heng, I've often heard people talking about the Qiao family, but I never had the time to visit them."
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. It just so happens that I have something I want to consult with the great doctor Ling." Mrs. Qiao made a gesture of invitation, and a sedan chair was brought over.
In the Western Regions, wealthy families mostly use horse-drawn carriages, and sedan chairs are extremely rare.
When she arrived at the Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao personally led the way to the main hall, where the old man of the Qiao family had been waiting for a long time.
"Little miracle doctor." Old Master Qiao stroked his beard, his eyes shining, "I didn't expect that the girl, at such a young age, has such superb medical skills. I really admire her!"
"You are too kind. It is just that your young master is ill and I just happen to know how to cure him."
"Don't be modest. Even Dr. Jiang couldn't cure it, but you cured it so easily. This is enough to prove your expertise." Mr. Qiao hesitated for a while and said in a deep voice, "I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask of you."
"You say."
Mr. Qiao looked at his daughter-in-law sitting on his right. Mrs. Qiao understood what he meant and said, "To be honest, my husband has been suffering from a strange disease recently. He has been unconscious all day and weak all over. He also says some strange words from time to time, as if he is possessed by evil spirits. We invited a magician to exorcise the evil spirits, but it didn't work at all. It's getting worse. We also invited some doctors to see him, but it didn't help."
Shang Ruoyi heard this and said in a deep voice: "Is your husband in the mansion? I need to feel his pulse to know what the specific illness is."
Mrs. Qiao looked at Mr. Qiao and when she saw him nod, she stood up and said, "Miss Shang, please follow me."
Looking at Shang Ruoyi's leaving back, Old Man Qiao nodded secretly. He really didn't know how lucky Jing Heng was to marry such a good wife.
Shang Ruoyi came to a courtyard in the backyard and saw all kinds of talismans hanging on the four corners of the wall. Various patterns were painted on them with cinnabar. There was also a pile of burnt incense ashes in the corner of the east wall.
Mrs. Qiao saw her looking at those things and smiled and said, "They are all scams. If we had known, we would not have invited those magicians."
Walking into the room, Shang Ruoyi was shocked by the scene in front of her.
I saw that all the windows in the room were covered tightly with curtains, and no light could penetrate.
There was a faint candlelight in the room. A man was lying on the bed with a frown on his face, a pale complexion, and eyes closed. He looked lifeless and from a distance, he looked like a dead person.
"Why are the curtains like this?" Shang Ruoyi stood at the door and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Qiao, have someone remove all the curtains and open the windows."
"But every time the sun shines in, he starts yelling and saying he's dying of heat and that there's fire burning on him. It's like he's possessed. That's why we found a magician."
"It's okay, just do as I say." Shang Ruoyi took a few steps back: "There is too much foul air in the room. Even if you are not sick, you will get sick."
After a while, the servants drew up the curtains and opened the windows again.
As soon as Shang Ruoyi stepped into the room, she heard the person on the bed shouting, "Burn, burn me to death! Quickly hang the curtains, I don't want to be exposed to the sun!"
But no one listened to his orders, and he became furious. He threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
When Mrs. Qiao saw how thin he was, her eyes instantly turned red.
I saw him tearing his clothes desperately, trying to block out the sunlight.
When Mrs. Qiao saw his actions, she was heartbroken and wanted the servants to put the curtains back.
At this moment, a silver needle appeared in Wen Xi's hand and shot directly into his neck.
In an instant, his shouting stopped.
I couldn't move any part of my body except my eyes.
"Carry your master to the couch."
Shang Ruoyi put her hand on his pulse, and a tree appeared in her heart.
How could this be called being possessed by evil spirits? This was clearly poisoning!
"Poisoned?" Mrs. Qiao asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"This is a neurotoxic drug that can cause the poisoned person's body to have all kinds of reactions that are contrary to the past in a short period of time." Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "And this poison will gradually invade the lungs. Before the poison is completely taken effect, ordinary doctors will not be able to diagnose it. But once it is diagnosed, even the Great Luo Immortal will find it difficult to cure it."
what?
Mrs. Qiao's breathing hitched.
"Miss Shang, you must save him!"
Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I'll do my best." She took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and poured the spiritual spring water in it into his mouth. Not long after, the man who had been staring with his eyes wide open just now slowly fell asleep.
After the spiritual spring water entered the body, the heat waves that were originally rampant in the body suddenly calmed down.
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but marvel at this.
He took out a silver needle and pierced it into the palm of his hand.
Then he found a few more acupuncture points and gave each of them an injection.
She gently moved one of the silver needles, and the other silver needles began to move along with it.
Not long after, his face suddenly became full of pain, as if something was about to come out of his body.
"Miss Shang, what happened to my husband?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "puff" sound, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth.
