Chapter Twenty-Nine: Nine Deaths and One Life
Yun Zhu approached all the way and said to the man in charge that he wanted to see Elder Qi.
The steward looked Yun Zhu up and down, and found that the clothes on the person were not bad, and his bearing was extraordinary, not an ordinary person. Then he pulled out a smile and walked to the back room with Yun Zhu.
"There are a lot of people who want to see Qi Lao, young man, you are lucky, otherwise you will not see people today. β
Yun Zhu smiled and did not speak.
Back room.
A middle-aged man in his mid-forties sat on a chair with a serious expression, holding a pen and writing something on a piece of paper. Seeing that Yun Zhu was coming, he looked up and smiled kindly at Yun Zhu.
"Young man, take medicine or see a doctor?"
"Presumably, Your Excellency is the old man in everyone's mouth, and I came down to ask about my friend's situation. β
"I'm Qi Lao, but I don't know who the friend Childe is talking about?"
Yun Zhu described the situation between Huajian Ke and Zhu Yue, and Qi Lao reacted and sighed sadly.
"It's not that I don't want to save it, but now I can only control the cannibal epidemic and stop it from getting worse, and there is really nothing else I can do. The boy begged me to save people, saying that he would do whatever it takes. I thought about it again and again, gave acupuncture to that girl, and then used red weed as medicine, and fought poison with poison, but I don't know if this trick can cure Miss Zhu Yue. β
"Red Grass?" Yun Zhu was suspicious.
It is a unique poisonous weed on Fengcheng Mountain, with purple leaves and red petals, growing in dark and damp places. The flowers emit a strong fragrance and are easy to charm. People can't help but touch it, once they touch it with their bare hands, it is nine deaths. I didn't use this flower on a whim, but this flower has a certain effect on the cannibal plague, so I gave it to Miss Zhu Yue. The playboy also agreed to this matter, now it depends on whether Miss Zhu Yue can survive, if she wakes up, it will prove that the antidote is effective, and everyone suffering from cannibalism will be saved. If you don't wake up...... The healer is ashamed. β
Yun Zhu didn't look like a lie, and comforted him, "Qi Lao doesn't have to be like this, life and death are fateful, and you can't force it, but it's just that the poor playboy has been waiting for many years and it is difficult to get married." Thanks to Master Hua, we also let us come out to look for people, looking at this situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find people for a while. β
Qi Lao said, "Childe doesn't have to worry, even if it is the order of Master Hua, if Childe does not dislike it, he can live in the hospital first, so that he can take care of Childe at all times." β
Yun Zhu glanced around a few times and thanked him. "So, it's a nuisance. β
Qi Lao responded with a smile and asked people to take Yun Zhu down.
Seeing that Yunzhu was taken away, the steward walked a few steps and asked in a low voice to Qi Lao. "Why did Elder Qi let them stay? This medical hall is already small, how many people can be accommodated there?"
Qi Lao glanced at the person beside him, and sighed in his heart.
"I said Xiao Zhang, how long have you been with me?"
The person in charge is also a person who has been in his old age, and he was suddenly called Xiao Zhang, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, but he still answered hard.
"Hui Qi Lao, I've been with you for two years. β
Qi Lao raised his hand and patted the steward's shoulder meaningfully, "Two years is not enough time for you to see my intentions and practices?"
"Intentions?"
"Who is this old man Hua? That's one of the best celebrities in Fengcheng, with thousands of family fortunes in his hands and countless house title deeds, even the county magistrate of Fengcheng had to bow his head when he saw him. Now that his son is being treated in my hospital, what do you think I'll get?"
The steward suddenly realized, his face was full of excitement, and his voice trembled slightly. "If Qi Lao cures that girl, won't we be rich?
Qi Lao cracked his mouth and smiled, "Wrong. Whether I cure that girl or not, Master Hua will be grateful, and we can get a lot of property, and it will not be a problem to spend the rest of our lives. It's just that...... How could my goal stop there?"
"What? Qi Lao, isn't it our goal to make money?"
Qi Lao slapped his palm on the steward's head, full of hatred that iron does not become steel. "Xiao Zhang, what do you want me to say about you? At first, we were really in it for money, but now we have made enough money, and it doesn't seem clichΓ© to make money anymore? If I can find a cure for the cannibal plague, then the entire Lexu people will be rescued by my Qi Lao. You said...... By then, we will be short of money or fame?"
"If that's the case, then we're the benefactors of the whole Lexu. said that it may not be that the monarch will give us an official and a knighthood, and then ...... Then you really won't have to worry about food and clothing. β
The more the steward talked, the more excited he became, and he almost couldn't help running out to find someone to talk to, but fortunately, Qi Lao pulled the person back.
"Xiao Zhang, you should know exactly when to do something. If someone else had known about it, things wouldn't have gone as expected. When something goes wrong, I'll be the first to spare you. β
Qi Lao poured cold water on the same basin as soon as he spoke, and the steward immediately cooled half of it.
"Yes...... It's the subordinate's fault, and the subordinate promises that he will never do it again in the future, and he won't reveal a little rumor to others. β
"Alright. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qi Lao waved his hand at the person. "Let's go down and see the patient first, and come and go back at any time if there is any situation. β
Seeing that Qi Lao didn't want to speak, the steward silently retreated.
Outside the house, Yun Zhu said to the two coachmen who were driving the car, asking them to go back to the situation of Master Hua first, so that he didn't have to worry.
The two glanced at Yun Zhu, said a few warm words, and drove back home.
"Daddy. β
Before Yun Zhu could react, two pairs of soft little hands grabbed his hand.
"Daddy, my mother doesn't want us anymore. Tao Yao seemed to really regard Yun Zhu as her father, holding Yun Zhu's tears.
Yun Zhu raised his head and looked around, but he really didn't see Yan Xi's shadow. Thinking about what she should do, she should deal with it first. I had to lead Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo into the house to check the situation of the guests among the flowers.
Tao Yao was led all the way, and her mood was half better. With tears in his eyes, he smiled sweetly at his sister next to him, and Tao Zhuo saw his sister laughing, and felt embarrassed for a while.
Originally, the gods had already said that let them stay here, she had something to deal with. But my sister wants to say this with Yun Zhu Shangxian, and I don't know if Shangxian believes it. If the immortals talk about this with the gods, won't they be finished?
Tao Zhuo was very worried, but Tao Yao didn't care at all. In her opinion, it is a serious matter whether the relationship between the two can be brought closer.
In the house, the flower guest was still in front of Zhu Yue's bed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mobile phone was holding Zhu Yue's hand. Something was silently recited in his mouth, over and over again, humbly pleading. It seems that people walking in the desert, waiting for the last drop of water, if there is water, it will be born, and if there is no water, it will turn into ashes with the fierce sun.
After cleaning up the place, the steward specially came to inform Yun Zhu.
"Childe, the medical hall is simple, you can stay here tonight. β
Yun Zhu said, "Thank you." β
The steward said, "The boy doesn't have to be formal, the playboy is treating the sick in our hospital, and we should be courteous and generous." β
Yun Zhu smiled, "In this way, then we will borrow the light of the flower master." β
