Chapter 136: Kill me, okay?
Perhaps Heaven really heard Jiang Shi's prayer. The next day, a servant of the Du Fu found Wen Shiyuan in the neighboring Kugua Zhen.
Wen Shiyuan was fleeing all over the village at the time, being chased by a vicious dog.
If it weren't for his iconic white beard and six fingers, Jiang Shi really wouldn't have been able to connect the dignified Guild Leader of the Xinglin Guild with this dirty, beggar-like little old man in front of her.
Jiang Shi immediately arranged for someone to call Doctor Jian.
As soon as Doctor Jian saw the old man, he was shocked. He hurriedly ran over in two or three steps and bent his waist respectfully.
"Divine Doctor Wen, it's been three years since we last met. Are you well?"
Wen Shiyuan sat in the guest hall of the Du Fu with his feet up, looking at him unpleasantly. "Do you have an eye disease, kid? Can't you see my dirty, miserable state? You tell me if I'm well?"
"..." Doctor Jian's mouth twitched.
In Wutou Xian, he was also a doctor with quite a reputation, but now he was being lectured like a grandson.
If it were someone else, Doctor Jian naturally wouldn't be able to endure it, but Wen Shiyuan... that was his supreme honor.
Doctor Jian turned to look at Jiang Shi beside him.
Jiang Shi understood and hurriedly asked people to prepare hot water and clean clothes, as well as a table of good food and drink.
After Wen Shiyuan had washed up, eaten, and drunk his fill, Jiang Shi knelt down and performed a great bow, begging: "Please, Divine Doctor Wen, save my daughter's life!"
Wen Shiyuan picked his teeth and didn't really want to save her.
It was the dog's fault that he was chased by the dog, but it was the human's fault that the dog was beaten to death alive. The servants of the Du Fu were so overbearing, he figured the master wasn't a good person either.
"What illness does your daughter have?" Soft hands after eating people, so he asked first.
Jiang Shi hurriedly told Du Mingzhu's situation, and at the end, she pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, her tone choked. "Zhu'er's appearance is ruined now, she's wishing she were dead. As her mother, I really wish I could suffer this crime for her..."
Wen Shiyuan's sixth finger moved. "Your daughter is in prison?"
Jiang Shi's face stiffened. "... Yes."
Sure enough, not a good person. If she hadn't committed a major crime, how could a young girl be caught and put in prison?
Wen Shiyuan asked again: "You said she was scared into this state by the cockroaches in the prison?"
Jiang Shi nodded. "That's indeed the case."
Wen Shiyuan became a little interested.
He knew that cockroaches were poisonous, and he had seen many patients bitten by poisonous insects before, but to say it was serious enough to disfigure her, that was truly unheard of.
"Take me to see her." He stood up and carried his medicine box on his back.
The Du Fu was only a quarter of an hour's walk from the county jail, but to show respect to Wen Shiyuan, Jiang Shi still asked people to carry two sedan chairs over.
Several constables stood in front of the prison gate. Seeing them, they immediately stopped them fiercely.
The leader looked cold. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Shi got off the sedan chair and frowned unhappily. "Constable Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing special, just a routine inquiry." Jiang Li had an attitude of doing official business. "Is Madam Du here to visit the prison? Who are you visiting? Do you have the documents?"
"What documents? I've been here so many times, I've never heard of needing documents."
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not needed."
Jiang Li smiled faintly. "According to the laws of our Da Zhao, anyone visiting the prison must hold a consent form issued by the County Office. Before, it was out of respect for Lord Du that I was extra lenient with you, but you can't push your luck and treat the prison like your Du family's backyard, coming and going as you please. What do you take the national law for by acting like this?"
"You!" Jiang Shi was furious. This one surnamed Jiang was clearly looking for trouble on purpose.
Thinking that she didn't know how her daughter was inside, she was burning with anxiety, but she couldn't force her way in, so she had to tell people to hurry and notify Du Ren Mei.
After a long while, Du Ren Mei ran over, panting, holding the hem of his official uniform.
"Madam, the documents are here!"
Jiang Shi raised her chin and smiled without warmth. "It's not that I want them, but your good son-in-law insisted on this thing before allowing me to enter. Since that's the case, let him take a look."
Du Ren Mei stuffed it into Jiang Li's hand and urged unpleasantly: "Look, look, hurry up and finish looking so my wife can go in. Zhu'er is still waiting!"
Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at it slowly, then looked at it again, and only then waved his hand at the brothers behind him.
"No problem, let them pass."
Jiang Shi knew Jiang Li was deliberately delaying time, but she couldn't vent her anger, so she had to endure her rage to invite Wen Shiyuan off the sedan chair and lead the people hurriedly into the prison.
Du Mingzhu's situation was very bad.
She hadn't closed her eyes for several days. The red rashes and pus-filled blisters all over her body were both painful and itchy, torturing her so much that she couldn't sleep at all, and she was already on her last breath.
When Jiang Shi entered, Du Mingzhu didn't even have the strength to get up, only tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Mother, I really can't stand it anymore... I'm so painful, so painful, I don't want to live anymore... I beg you, Mother, please kill me, okay..."
Listening to these heart-piercing words, Jiang Shi's heart felt like it was being cut.
"It's okay, Zhu'er." She comforted her daughter with red eyes. "Mother has already found Divine Doctor Wen, he will definitely be able to cure you, okay?"
As she said this, she hurriedly turned her head. "I'm counting on you, Divine Doctor Wen."
Wen Shiyuan put down his medicine box, walked over to look carefully at the rashes on Du Mingzhu's face, said "huh," and then took her pulse.
After a long while, he withdrew his hand and frowned, thinking while stroking his white beard that reached his chest.
Jiang Shi's heart was in her throat. "Divine Doctor Wen, what exactly is Zhu'er's situation?"
Wen Shiyuan shook his head. "The toxicity is too strong, it has already spread from the outside to the inside to the six internal organs. Unless there is a detoxifying pill from the Medicine God Valley, she will definitely die."
Clatter, Jiang Shi fell straight to the ground.
Du Ren Mei's face also turned pale, and he muttered in disbelief: "How could it be like this? It won't, Zhu'er, my Zhu'er won't die..."
Du Mingzhu closed her eyes in despair, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely shattered.
Why, why was it her?
Why did Heaven want to torture her like this, letting her die so miserably?
Why did she have to be afraid of cockroaches?
That's right, it was Jiang Ning, Jiang Shu, those vicious embryos, it was they who caused her to develop a fear of cockroaches!
And that bitch Du Ruo, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been in prison at all! And she wouldn't have been infected with cockroach poison and died an unnatural death!!
Jiang Ning, Jiang Shu, Du Ruo, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!!
Du Mingzhu's eyes were full of viciousness, unwillingness, and resentment, which made people shudder.
Wen Shiyuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart trembled.
Sure enough, not a good person.
However, as a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded was his duty. Wen Shiyuan only hesitated for a while before opening his mouth again. "That detoxifying pill, I happen to have one here."
Du Mingzhu: "..."
Du Ren Mei's expression was happy, and Jiang Shi finally stood up with the help of the woman, looking at Wen Shiyuan with full expectation.
"Really, Divine Doctor Wen? Does that mean Zhu'er is saved?"
Wen Shiyuan nodded. "I do have one, but only one. It was given to me by Divine Doctor Jun when I left the Medicine God Valley. It was originally meant for my own self-defense."
Jiang Shi gritted her teeth and knelt down with a thud. "Please, Divine Doctor Wen, have mercy and part with it. As long as you can save my daughter's life, I will agree to any condition!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Zhu'er is still so young, she shouldn't die so early, please save her, Divine Doctor Wen." Du Ren Mei also bowed and cupped his hands.
Wen Shiyuan waved his hand. "Since I've said it, I'm naturally willing to use it for her, but..."
He paused before continuing: "The toxicity in her body is truly too strong. One detoxifying pill can only save her life. As for her face, there's no way to save it." ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
