Red Dust Daqian

The old Chinese doctor was actually able to diagnose the cause of Li Qin's pain. It seems that his medical skills must be very good.

Sun Sizhen seemed to have done some research on poisonous insects. Zhou Sen, with an attitude of giving it a try, prepared to take out the poisonous insects for Sun Sizhen to study and see if it was possible to develop an antidote to control the poisonous insects.

Regarding Zhou Sen's idea of ​​providing Gu worms for Sun Sizhen's research, Sun Sizhen did not directly agree to Zhou Sen's idea, but looked at Li Ning'er, seemingly asking for Li Ning'er's consent. Li Ning'er looked at Zhou Sen in confusion, not knowing where he got the Gu worms from, but at this moment she did not ask much, and repeated Zhou Sen's words to Sun Sizhen, asking if the original worm provided by Doctor Sun could be used to solve it?

Doctors in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, have a common characteristic of speaking vaguely and never giving a definite answer. Sun Sizhen did the same, replying implicitly: "If Taoist Zhang can provide this poisonous insect to me, I can spend some time studying it and perhaps be able to prepare an antidote for this poisonous insect." There was no definite answer to the efficacy or duration of the medicine.

However, he came to Sun Sizhen today with the attitude of giving it a try. If he fails to develop an antidote, it will not be a loss for Zhou Sen. Anyway, there are already many poisonous insects cultivated in Qianmu Hall. Zhou Sen did not hesitate any more and directly handed the bamboo tube containing the poisonous insects to Sun Sizhen, and presented a certain amount of gold, saying generously: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Sun. The bamboo tube contains the poisonous insects that Brother Li ate. And this deposit is just a deposit. If Doctor Sun can prepare the antidote for this poisonous insect, I believe that Master Li will definitely give you a large sum of money as a thank you."

Li Qin looked at Zhou Sen like a fool, and sighed: This Taoist priest is really rich, he gave away the gold as soon as he said it. However, if you give me money, why do you say I must give you a big reward? Although I cherish my life, I am just an employee, and I may not be able to save up a certain amount of gold in a few years. Besides, isn't there the wealthy Li Ninger next to me? Why find someone who can't pay to pay?

Although he felt sorry for Zhou Sen, it was indeed related to his life and property, so he could only agree with Zhou Sen that he would reward him handsomely after the task was completed. However, Sun Sizhen had an advantage that modern doctors could not compare with, that is, she only took the money that belonged to her, and would not take any money that exceeded her duties. Sun Sizhen directly returned Zhou Sen's deposit, looked at Zhou Sen with contempt and said: "I am willing to study this insect only to save people, there is no need to use these to bribe me. Just pay the money you should pay."

Zhou Sen insisted on paying the deposit to Sun Sizhen, and said very seriously: "This deposit is not only the labor fee for Doctor Sun's research on the Gu worm, but also includes the material cost, confidentiality fee, etc. I hope Doctor Sun will not tell others about what happened today, and I also hope that Doctor Sun will keep the Gu worm antidote confidential after it is developed. Doctor Sun must accept this deposit, and only after accepting it can I feel at ease to hand over the Gu worm to you."

Sun Sizhen had never heard such a statement before and wanted to refuse again. At this time, Li Ning'er coughed lightly and interrupted, "Doctor Sun, accept it. Since Taoist Zhang has additional requests, it is reasonable for you to pay the corresponding silver." Under Li Ning'er's persuasion, Doctor Sun did not continue to refuse and directly accepted the deposit and the poisonous insect.

Zhou Sen gave Sun Sizhen the address of the inn where he was staying, and asked Doctor Sun to inform him of the result as soon as he cracked the Gu worm. After exchanging greetings for a while, everyone left Zhen Medical Hall without staying too long.

Not long after walking out of the Zhenyi Medicine Hall, Li Qinwei stopped Zhou Sen and asked in confusion: "Master Zhang, how come there are still poisonous insects? Didn't you give them to my Si Cheng last time? Since there are poisonous insects, do you have the antidote too?" Li Ning'er also had a question mark on her face, wondering where Zhou Sen got the poisonous insects?

Zhou Sen looked at Li Ning'er and Li Qinwei with disdain and complained: "Gu worms are also insects. As long as there are protozoa, is it difficult to cultivate more worms? I will not be like your Si Cheng, who, after getting the worms, did not have any second-hand preparation to send all to Kyoto. I don't know how he became the Si Cheng of the Plum Blossom Department with this IQ."

Zhou Sen's complaints made the two of them quite embarrassed and angry, especially Li Ning'er, who disregarded her image and chased the Taoist priest all over the street. She was so bold that she dared to say that Li Qi had a questionable IQ. Without Xiangcao's help, Zhou Sen was quickly defeated and was pinned to the ground by Li Ning'er in the street. She arrogantly cursed: "You bold demon Taoist priest, you dare to say that Li Qi has no brains. Do you still want to live?"

Having been caught, Zhou Sen could only beg for mercy. Li Ning'er continued to ask: "Where is the antidote? Is there one? Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Sen, who was pressed down, looked up at Li Ning'er's chest rising and falling. His good brother couldn't help but get excited and accidentally hurt Li Ning'er. Li Ning'er was frightened by the sudden attack and stood up in a panic. Her face flushed with shame and she stood by at a loss.

Xiangcao and Li Qinwei didn't know what happened. They just saw Li Ning'er suddenly stand up, thinking that the two had enough of fighting. To ease his embarrassment, Zhou Sen said to everyone, "Actually, I still have two antidotes. Don't I get one every month? I don't need to take it since I'm not poisoned. The reason why I didn't give it to Doctor Sun is, first, I want to see how good Doctor Sun's medical skills are. Second, I'm afraid that Doctor Sun will fall into the fixed mindset of ready-made antidotes and can only develop an antidote that can alleviate the problem, but not a permanent one."

Xiangcao and Li Qinwei had no doubts about Zhou Sen's words, so they did not continue to ask. At this moment, Li Ning'er stared at Zhou Sen fiercely, which made Zhou Sen feel uneasy. He quickly said goodbye to Li Qinwei and Li Ning'er, saying that he had things to do, and took Xiangcao away.

Li Qin said goodbye to everyone, but Li Ning'er had no intention of leaving Zhou Sen. She followed Zhou Sen closely and stared at him fiercely. Zhou Sen, feeling guilty, did not dare to speak. Xiangcao asked, "Miss Ning'er, is there anything else you need to tell us?"

Li Ning'er had a different attitude towards Xiangcao. She replied with a smile: "Master Xiangcao, Ning'er doesn't have anything to tell you." Zhou Sen felt in his heart: Since there is nothing to do, we can go our separate ways and return to our own homes. Why are you following us all the time? I'm so scared when you follow us like this.

Zhou Sen said to Xiangcao: "Sister, let's not go to work, let's go back to the inn and rest first." Li Ning'er still followed Zhou Sen and Xiangcao. Zhou Sen, who could no longer bear it, weakly questioned Li Ning'er: "Miss Shui, do you want to follow us back to the inn?" Li Ning'er became furious again and angrily said to Zhou Sen: "Perverted demon, why can't I go to the inn? I have also booked a room in the inn, and I will live next to Master Xiangcao from now on."
