Chapter 388 Staying in the Inn
In the past three years, in addition to improving his medical skills, Xie Ling also studied a lot about poison.
While the disciples were studying it carefully, Xie Ling was also observing quietly, but had no clue for the time being.
The Gu in front of her was different from any other Gu she had ever seen.
It is probably a new Gu.
Thinking of what the woman said, that this man had just taken the medicine distributed by the goddess the day before, Xie Ling had a vague guess in her heart.
The disciples used the simplest method to remove the poison and stabilize the man's condition.
The poisonous insects running around were also killed by the disciples, leaving only corpses on the ground.
The disciples were reluctant to burn the corpses of the poisonous insects, so they put them all into their pockets, intending to go back and study them in detail.
The old doctor was very surprised to see that the man on the ground had improved and even his breathing had returned to normal.
This person looked dead just now, how come he became normal in just one stick of incense?
Who are these young people?
The woman saw her husband's face turn from blue to normal, her face flushed, and she said to Xie Ling: "Little girl, I'm sorry, I was blind just now. As long as you cure my husband, I will definitely reward you greatly..."
Xie Ling waved her hand, "No need for reward. Your husband's illness is rather strange, and we are only trying to stabilize it temporarily. If we want to cure it completely, we need to observe it for two more days."
The woman continued to ask: "Then is my husband poisoned?"
Xie Ling shook her head decisively, "No, it has nothing to do with the hot pot restaurant."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the shop assistants around straightened their backs.
I told you, their Ling Daguo kitchen is the cleanest, how could there be any problem!
The woman frowned, still doubtful in her heart, but nodded repeatedly on the surface.
"Okay! Where do you live?"
"We don't have a place to live yet. Will we let you know when we find one?"
The woman suddenly interrupted Xie Ling and said, "That's great, just stay at my house. My family runs an inn! It's settled."
This woman was also an impetuous person. As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed through the crowd and ran away. She was probably going to call for people to carry her husband away.
The surrounding onlookers also dispersed one by one.
Some curious people wanted to ask what disease the man had, but the disciples evaded the question and left with a frown.
The owner of Ling Daguo came over and thanked Xie Ling and others.
"Thank you for clearing our store's name. May I ask which table you are from? We at Ling Da Guo will treat you to dinner today."
Xie Ling looked at the shopkeeper and saw that he was graceful and neither humble nor arrogant. She thought to herself that this shopkeeper was a good choice.
"It's alright, we are just discussing the matter. As for the meal money... I'd rather obey your order."
Xie Ling chuckled.
She is the boss, so it’s okay for her to eat for free?
After a pause, Xie Ling said, "From the look of that woman, it seems that she doesn't quite believe our words. It's better for the shopkeeper to be prepared."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face became serious. "Thank you for the reminder, young lady. I will ask the kitchen to preserve the leftovers from their table, and also check the purchased dishes from the kitchen..."
He cupped his hands and said, "I am quite busy today, so I won't see you off. I will definitely reward you handsomely another day."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman came in with a few strong men.
"Girl, come with me, I'll take you to check in."
After going out, the woman helped her husband into the sedan chair.
Xie Ling and his group followed behind.
Her inn was on East Street, which was also the prosperous center of Kyoto, and it was only a short walk away.
The woman had probably given instructions, and there was already a waiter waiting at the door. He quickly led Xie Ling and the others upstairs to rest.
The woman ordered her servants to move her husband to the room next to the disciples' guest rooms.
"We will stay here for the next few days. When my husband wakes up, I will give you a generous reward. My husband's last name is Mr. Shen, so you can just call him Mr. Shen. As for me, you can just call me Madam Shen."
The woman said, leaning against the door frame with a smile.
Xie Ling nodded thoughtfully, "Mrs. Shen has also suffered from the epidemic, right?"
Madam Shen nodded, "It's all because of a rotten-hearted beast who came to stay at the inn a few days ago. My husband, I, and the shopkeeper and his servants were all infected. But fortunately, the goddess is here, and we are all well now."
Xie Ling: "So, you all took the elixir of the goddess?"
Madam Shen smiled and said, "Yes, the medicine from the goddess is really effective. I will be fine after taking it!"
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that the trip to this inn was not in vain.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, her expression complicated, "Your husband's illness..."
Mrs. Shen panicked, "What happened to my husband?"
Xie Ling sighed, "Your husband's illness may be contagious, so I want to check your pulse and the waiters in the store tomorrow."
"infect?!"
Madam Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Miss, please don't scare me! Isn't that the same as the plague?"
Thinking of the black bugs coming out of her husband's legs, she couldn't help but cover her lips, her eyes full of fear.
Xie Ling comforted him, "I'll know everything tomorrow when I see it."
Madam Shen nodded vigorously, "Please don't spread this matter..."
"That's natural. Nothing happened. I'm going to rest."
Xie Ling turned around and closed the door.
Mrs. Shen was so anxious that her face turned pale. She secretly paid a high price and asked the waiter to invite a highly respected old doctor.
The doctor said she was in good health and had no problems.
Even so, the woman still couldn't let go.
Her husband just saw the doctor yesterday, and he was also infected, right?
Madam Shen then asked, "Then my husband was poisoned?"
The doctor frowned, "Your husband's body shows no signs of poisoning, he is just a little weak."
A doctor who has no knowledge of the disease cannot detect the poison.
The doctor had doubts about Mr. Shen's illness, but he couldn't find the cause, so he suppressed his suspicion.
Mrs. Shen sighed inwardly.
She also wanted to use this opportunity to blackmail Ling Daguo.
After sending the doctor away.
Mrs. Shen looked at her husband's body, a shrewd look in her eyes.
No matter what, the accident happened in Ling Daguo.
Tomorrow, after the little girl finishes treating her, she will definitely go to Ling Daguo to make some money.
Who doesn't know that Ling Daguo is doing a good business? Every day, the seats are full and the queues are long.
She would not be willing to give up unless she extorted a thousand taels.
On the other side, Xie Ling gathered all the disciples into his room.
"What do you think of this man's symptoms today?"
Yu Wei raised her hand first, "Uncle Junior, I think it has something to do with the medicine from the goddess. The goddess cured the plague without using any medicine, and the effect was so fast. She must have used some evil magic, maybe a poison."
Yuqing was puzzled, "Why is he the only one suffering?"
The disciple next to him interrupted, "Then we didn't see other people taking the Goddess's medicine."
"Yes."
"Perhaps Mr. Shen has a special physique?"
The disciples expressed their opinions in a flurry.
Xie Ling knocked on the table. "What about the poison? How to cure it? Do you have any ideas?"
The disciples fell silent for a moment.
Xie Ling didn't blame them.
Even she took a long time to figure out the herbs she needed.
There will be more time to deal with poison in the future, so the disciples of Mingyue Island must have a deep understanding of poison.
She cleared her throat and said, "Then you have to rest late tonight. I will use today's Gu as an example to teach you how to remove it..."
All the disciples opened their eyes wide, took out the small notebooks they carried with them, and stared at Xie Ling with burning eyes.
There aren't many opportunities for Master Uncle to teach in person, they are so lucky!
"This Gu, at first glance, has no symptoms. It will seep through the skin and flesh, and is black in color. It is similar to the black snake Gu in Miaojiang, but not completely the same. As for the symptoms in the latter stage, we have no way of knowing..."
It was late at night, and Xie Ling finally let his disciples go back to rest after talking until they were thirsty.
The medicinal materials needed for this Gu are not precious and can be bought with money.
The most difficult thing to find is the medicinal ingredient - the mother Gu.
The only way to get it is to find the hiding place of the person who put the poison on you.
Xie Ling was not in a hurry, as she could keep the person who was poisoned safe for three months.
Three months was enough time for her to find it.
