The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 8: The poison will kill you in 3 days at most

The atmosphere became tense.

"Chu Jian, come here!" Jing Muyang called her from behind.

Facing the man who was pressing on step by step, Chu Jian was so scared that he retreated to his side and whispered, "I really went back to fix his bones."

Jing Muyang saw the initial fight just now. This kind of bone-setting method had also been seen in the army, but the technique required speed, ruthlessness and accuracy. He was not sure if she had enough strength to straighten it back.

"Don't be afraid!" Jing Muyang pulled her behind him and faced everyone. Although he was sitting there, an inexplicable majesty emanated from him.

"My wife knows some strange bone-setting techniques. If she says it's normal, then it's normal. There's no need to be so aggressive. Let this young man do it himself to know if it's a random treatment or not. You should have evidence for what you say. You don't have to embarrass a girl!"

The group of people stopped talking and looked at the man writhing in pain.

At this time, the old doctor in the inner room had just finished treating Gangzi and came out.

When everyone saw the old doctor come out, the villagers who had been hesitant came back to their senses and didn't believe what Jing Muyang said at all.

"Mr. Fanglin, please show Dongzi a quick look. This girl from nowhere broke his leg!"

The old doctor named Fanglin took a look at Chujian and left. Dongzi held his leg and kept crying out in pain. He pulled Dongzi's leg over, touched it twice, and then slapped him fiercely.

"Does it hurt so much? You just move when the girl tells you to! You've obviously already recovered! You look so energetic, so there's probably nothing else to do! You're just wasting my time!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Dongzi, who had been screaming loudly, shrank back and turned his ankle after being slapped on the leg. Sure enough, the pain was not so severe after his ankle was put back in place. He even got up and tried to walk a few steps.

The old doctor got up and went to see the next person. That person's problem wasn't serious either. He prescribed some medicine for injuries to the two of them, then started to send them away after giving them instructions. The yard was empty in a short while.

When they first met, his hands were dirty and his feet were smelly, but she didn't feel disgusted. Now, not only was she kicked by him, but she was also criticized by a group of people. After the matter was clarified, she didn't even get an apology. She felt very upset.

"Young Master, Young Lady, let's go too." Li Daqiang had already wiped the blood off the ox cart, and came over to help Jing Muyang, laughing, "Young Lady is really good at medicine. I have never seen such a bone-setting technique. But since you know how to treat it, then why is Young Master's leg disease..."

"His case is different. The bones are not injured. I can't see where the problem is and I can't treat it randomly. But my grandfather can cure it. I'll take him back to my grandfather." Chu Jian answered honestly. If he could, he could. If he couldn't, he couldn't.

"Who is your grandfather? You are so arrogant." The old doctor came into the house from the yard.

"My grandfather is very capable. He is a professor of medicine. We will go to see him as soon as we return to the capital."

"Go back to the capital? He will die before you even get back to the capital!" The old doctor glared.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You jump to conclusions without even looking at the patient. It's disrespectful to the patient!" Chu Jian was a little angry. "Muyang, let's go. When we get to the market town, we'll take a plane, or... we can take the high-speed rail. We'll be in Beijing tomorrow."

For such a backward place, Yinzhou probably doesn’t have an airport. I wonder if there is a high-speed rail station.

Jing Muyang listened to Chu Jian's unrealistic ideas. Although he didn't know what the airplane and high-speed train she was talking about were, he knew that he would definitely not be able to reach Beijing tomorrow.

"This is our first meeting. I want to hear what the old gentleman has to say." Jing Muyang did not move, but instead bowed to the old doctor and said, "Please allow me to take a look, old gentleman."

"That's right. You should have the attitude of seeking medical treatment!" The old doctor didn't get angry. He walked up to him and examined him carefully. He not only checked his legs but also his whole body. "You can move but you can't use much strength, right?"

"Yes."

"How long?"

"I was injured about three months ago, and then I gradually started to feel weak in my legs and feet until I became like this."

"Three months..." The old doctor narrowed his eyes, "He must have been in a coma for a long time."

"Maybe. Actually, I can't explain it clearly." Jing Muyang always thought that he was going to die. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and he didn't expect to wake up in the coffin.

"Girl, tell me."

"Me? How would I know!"

"You are his wife. Not only do you not know that he was poisoned, but you also don't know whether he was unconscious or not."

"Poisoned?!" he exclaimed when he first saw it, but he didn't see any symptoms of poisoning in Jing Muyang.

"Please tell me in detail, old man."

Jing Muyang had not expected this. He was attacked only once on his way back to Beijing more than three months ago. Although he was slightly injured, his injuries were not so serious as to reach this point.

I once suspected that I was poisoned, but the wounds had healed and there were no signs of poisoning. By the time I wanted to confirm again whether it was poisoning, my condition had deteriorated rapidly.

"Chronic poisoning is not something that has happened in just one or two days." Judging from the reactions of the two, the old doctor probably knew nothing about it.

“Grandpa, do you mean that the poisoning eventually affected the nerves and caused this condition?” Chu Jian softened his voice.

"Yes! This poison is very interesting. It doesn't take effect immediately after you are infected, and it penetrates very slowly. You can't even detect the signs of poisoning. Once the poison takes effect, there is basically no hope. It's a miracle that you can wake up after being poisoned once." The old doctor stroked his beard. "But you won't be able to hold on for long after waking up. You can't go back to the capital. With the current pulse condition, you will die of the poison again in three days at most."

"How could this happen?" Chu Jian had always thought that Jing Muyang might have been injured in other parts of his body that compressed the nerves in his legs and was unable to stand. She had never thought that he was poisoned. The poison would take effect within three days, so she couldn't be sure that she could get on the high-speed train immediately after arriving at the market town. Moreover, what if the poison took effect prematurely?

"Grandpa, do you have any solution?"

"Yes, but detoxification and recovery are not easy things. We can only do it step by step, which is very troublesome. Are you from Beijing? How did you get here?"

"We...we..." Chu Jian was choked with words. He couldn't say that he was buried and crawled out of the grave.

"Forget it, I don't really need to know. Daqiang's house only has two rooms, and I live alone. You can live in my yard." The old doctor looked at Chu Jian again, "But you have to get your own food. I don't have any extra rations for you. And girl, all the work inside and outside this house is yours!"

"Okay! I'll buy the food and do the work! But you have to confirm the diagnosis. You can't make a random diagnosis and delay him from going to other places."

"I have already confirmed the diagnosis. If you don't believe me, just leave and go to the capital to find your grandfather. I dare say you can't leave Li County!" The old doctor was so angry that he blew his beard.

"I believe it!" Jing Muyang said quickly, "Old sir, I believe in you. If you can cure me, I will reward you handsomely!"

Jing Muyang didn't know if he was poisoned, but he knew that his body was very weak after waking up and he couldn't even mobilize his internal energy. He probably couldn't make it to the capital as he said.

"Just trust me. I'll write a prescription. Girl, go buy all these medicines. They're sold in any pharmacy."

"I can't move around easily and need help, uncle, could you please help me run the errand?"

Jing Muyang didn't dare let Chu Jian go out. She couldn't even recognize Yuanbao, and had some strange words and deeds. It would be troublesome if she met a bad guy on the way.

"Okay, there's nothing busy at home today anyway, so I'll let her go with Dazhu. They'll be back sooner. I still have to fetch water." Li Daqiang agreed and went back to call people.

After the aunt came over, Jing Muyang gave her twenty taels of silver.

"Aunt, apart from the money for the medicine, please buy my wife a set of clothes. They must be made of fine cotton. Use the rest of the money to buy food. You need one bag of refined rice and one bag of refined flour. You can buy the rest as you see fit. Remember, you need rice, flour, vegetables and meat."

The aunt wiped her hands on her apron and took the money nervously. She had never received so much money at once before.

"Okay, we can do it. We can definitely do it."

Chu Jian was frantic behind him. Twenty taels of silver! Twenty taels of silver! One kilogram!

The price of silver is nine dollars, that’s nine thousand dollars!

How many things can you buy with 9,000 yuan? How can you spend money like this? You spendthrift!
