Chapter 610 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 6
"If you don't want to, then go ahead."
Seeing Sheng Tang stunned, the old man ignored her, turned around and went back to the yard.
"The county lord."
At this time, the attendant who had just been sent to quietly follow the old man came back and said, "I saw the old man delivering a bag of medicinal herbs to a family, and then I asked someone and found out that the family was the barefoot doctor in the village."
Sending the dried medicinal herbs to the barefoot doctor's home is just a gift between doctors and there is nothing special to be noted.
"Princess, that old doctor seems to have a stubborn temper. He even asked the princess to come here in person. Should we continue to invite him?" asked the maid behind Sheng Tang.
"Of course."
Sheng Tang's eyes moved and he walked towards the small courtyard.
Neither the doctors in Jiangnan nor the imperial physicians in the palace could cure her mother's sprain. Now this old doctor was her only hope.
"Old man, my mother is not able to move around easily, so I would like you to come to my house to diagnose her. If you are willing, I will give you a generous gift in return."
Sheng Tang was also a little nervous. In her impression, hermits and sages were all indifferent to fame and fortune, but this old man just asked for another thousand taels of gold, so she was not sure for a moment how to get him to agree to go home to treat her mother.
"I have just stated my conditions and I don't want to repeat them again." The old man looked up at Sheng Tang and then continued to work on his task.
Grind the dried herbs into powder for easy use as medicine.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of continuing the conversation with her, Sheng Tang sighed silently in her heart and turned away.
Her mother has always been proud of her noble status, so how could she be willing to come to this remote mountain place for medical treatment?
Seeing that it was getting late, Sheng Tang had to go back first, but she asked the servants to stay because the old man had no fixed place to live, and if he wanted to leave, it would be good to know where he was going.
The old man glanced at the servant under the tree not far outside the yard, and went into the house with the ground medicine powder.
Remove the human.skin.mask from your face and let your face breathe a little.
Time is too tight and I can’t find any better materials, so I can only make do with this. But it gets stuffy after wearing it for a long time.
If Sheng Tang saw the face under the human skin mask, he would be very surprised.
His appearance was exactly the same as the one who helped her catch the thief on the Lantern Festival.
Dozens of people in the Yun family, including servants, were all killed in the fire ordered by Ning Ruli. Of course, he would not let her go easily.
On the night of the banquet, Yun Yi offered to go in place of Yun Lang in order to find an opportunity to drug Ning Ruli.
Sheng Tang asked the maid to call him to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, giving him a good opportunity to take action.
When passing by Ning Ruli, he sprinkled some powder on her that destroyed her immunity and made her body weak. The powder entered her body through her breathing.
Then he spilled water on the bridge, fell and sprained his foot. In addition, his immunity was damaged, so naturally he became ill and could not be cured.
As for the "miracle doctor" rumored in the market, it is nothing more than propaganda.
Yun Yi pretended to seek medical treatment, took a large sum of money and went to the surrounding villages, asking the villagers to help find a doctor who could cure his "fracture".
Those villagers had never heard of the miraculous doctor, but since they had taken the money, they would help spread the news even if they couldn't find him.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just a few days, many people knew about the old man who could make "fracture patients move freely within a month, but this only happens two or three months a year."
Seeing that the people in the Princess's Villa had heard the news, Yun Yi dressed up as an old man and lived in a shabby hut in the village.
On the first day he moved in, someone came with the eldest princess's token and asked him to come over to treat his illness.
After being rejected by Yun Yi, Sheng Tang came in person today.
Ning Ruli is proud and arrogant, so she naturally won't come in person. She might even directly order him to be kidnapped.
But considering the time, Ning Ruli's sprain should have developed to the next stage.
-
"My lord, something bad has happened. The eldest princess...she fainted."
It was already evening when Sheng Tang returned to the villa. When the maid saw her, she hurried over and said.
Without thinking too much, Sheng Tang hurried to Ning Ruli's room. As soon as he stepped in, he smelled an extremely unpleasant smell.
It was a stench she had never smelled before, and it was hard to describe in words.
"Father, how is mother? Why did she suddenly faint?"
The son-in-law Sheng Qingwei had a worried look on his face. "I don't know if she ate something taboo, but your mother's ankles started festering in the afternoon. After she took a bath in the medicinal soup prepared by the imperial physician, the pain was slightly relieved."
Starting to fester?
It's just a sprain, there's not even a wound, how could it become ulcerated?
"Then why did mother faint? Is she awake now?" Sheng Tang continued to ask.
"She fainted from shock. She just woke up once and fell asleep after drinking the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial physician."
Sheng Qingwei sighed deeply, "How could it suddenly become like this? So many doctors are helpless, could it be that I really have offended the gods?"
Offending God?
Sheng Tang didn't believe it. Spraining his ankle was clearly just an accident.
If I hadn't sprained my leg, none of this would have happened.
The next day, Sheng Tang asked another servant to take over the shift from the servant who stayed outside the hut yesterday.
When the attendant came back, he told the story of someone who had gone to the hut for treatment the previous night.
"I saw it with my own eyes. The old man saved a child who had fallen from a tree. The child was almost dead, but in less than an hour he was alive and kicking again."
Sheng Tang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. He thought that the old man really had such medical skills and would definitely be able to cure his mother.
Without time to eat breakfast, Sheng Tang went to find Ning Ruli and told her about the old man.
"Mother, I have asked someone to prepare a carriage. We will go there after breakfast. He will definitely be able to cure your sprain."
Sheng Tang spoke anxiously, but Ning Ruli's face looked gloomy.
What kind of miracle doctor actually asked her to go in person?
"Most hermits are arrogant. Princess, don't be stubborn. The most important thing is to heal your injury." Sheng Qingwei advised from the side.
With the father and daughter half-pushing her, Ning Ruli got on the carriage reluctantly.
She wanted to order people to kidnap the old man directly. How could she, a princess, not be able to do anything to a mere country boy?
However, the doctors from Jiangnan and the imperial physicians in the palace were really useless. If this only hope was lost, she would really have to wait to fester and die.
When they arrived outside the hut, Ning Ruli sat on a chair, and several strong women carried her to the yard of the hut.
"Old man, my mother is here, please save her with your magic hands."
Unlike Ning Ruli's gloomy expression, Sheng Tang came to Yun Yi politely and spoke respectfully.
