Chapter 223 The Fate of Preparing Medicine
Chapter 223 The Fate of Preparing Medicine
Uncle Chai suddenly stood up and jumped out of the window wearing only his underwear.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a palm wind coming at him with great force. Uncle Chai raised his hand to face the palm, and took the palm. His whole arm was immediately numb from the shock, which showed that the opponent's internal strength was extremely strong.
After the first palm strike, the opponent did not intend to let him go and attacked him again. Uncle Chai Wu knew that he would definitely lose to the opponent in a head-on confrontation, so he mainly defended, responded calmly, and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
But in just a short moment, the two men had already fought for more than ten rounds. Suddenly, a voice in the yard interrupted them.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
The two men who were fighting just now separated instantly and stood at each end.
Uncle Chai Wu said nothing, but Old Man Xin laughed and said, "Let's discuss. Hehehe, we can't sleep, let's discuss."
Old Man Xin just wanted to test this man's skills, but he didn't expect that he would alarm Hang Shuheng.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, this man is stronger than he imagined. If such a person really stays in the Hang family, works for the Hang family, and loyally protects their family, he would feel more at ease.
But if this person has rebellious intentions in the future, the indenture will not be able to restrain him at all, which may still be a hidden danger.
Old Man Xin thought that he had to get rid of this hidden danger. He deliberately sent Hang Shuheng away and said, "Well, boy, go back to your room and sleep. We still need to discuss this further."
Hang Shuheng was originally awakened by a slight noise in the yard. When he came out and saw that it was them, he didn't intend to ask anything. Let them fight if they wanted. He turned around and went back to the house.
Old Man Xin followed Uncle Chai back to the west room, lit the oil lamp, and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
"You're pretty good, old boy."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Uncle Chai lowered his head with a blank expression.
"Since you are so skilled, why are you willing to sell yourself into slavery?"
"My life was saved by the young master and the lady."
"So you're here to repay the favor of saving your life?"
At this moment, Old Man Xin had completely lost his cheerful image during the day. He looked at Uncle Chai with suspicion, "There are many ways to repay the life-saving grace. Why sell yourself into slavery?"
"What do you want to say, senior? Just say it directly." Uncle Chai finally raised his head and looked at Old Man Xin.
Old Man Xin stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "How can you guarantee that you will be loyal to them for the rest of your life? You are an extraordinary martial artist. If you regret it in the future, you may harm them."
Uncle Chai was silent for a long while. From the moment this old man appeared, he knew that this old man did not trust him from the beginning. Tonight's test further confirmed his thoughts.
"How do you want me to guarantee this, Senior?"
"Well, it's very simple." Old Man Xin took out a blood-red pill from somewhere like a magic trick, "You just need to take this pill."
Uncle Chai narrowed his eyes slightly, "What is this?"
"Well! This is a poison I developed. I named it 'Obedient Pill'."
"Take this pill. As long as you don't betray your master, you don't need to worry about your life. If you have the idea of betraying your master, you will die immediately from the poison. What do you think? Do you dare to take this pill?"
"Why not?" Uncle Chai took the pill without any hesitation and put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
This made Old Man Xin a little confused. He ate it right away? He didn't even hesitate...
Uncle Chai Wu couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, and asked the question in his heart, "I'm very curious, senior, you are so powerful, why are you willing to let the young master control you? You can completely ignore the young master, and he can't do anything to you."
"It's a long story." Old man Xin took off his shoes and got on the kang, and he started talking immediately, "As for me and that brat, it was a fate that was forged in the county jail... You don't know, that boy is very good at throwing knives! I wanted to take him as my apprentice at that time, but the brat was unwilling, which pissed me off to death. Later, I found this place..."
"Hehe! He looked down on me, and now I look down on him too. I'm going to take his son as my successor."
It turns out that he was trying to recruit a disciple, and he was eager to do so. With his ability, if he wanted, would he be short of a disciple? Why would he be so eager to please someone but get rejected? What a weird old man.
The next day, Old Man Xin quickly wrote a prescription, saying it could cure the throat.
Uncle Chai's throat was damaged by the thick smoke in the fire, and his voice was extremely hoarse, so he was usually taciturn.
Last night, after Uncle Chai took the pill without hesitation, Old Man Xin's attitude towards him improved a lot. When he got up this morning, he was very kind and wrote a prescription for them to get the medicine.
So, the whole family went into the city again in a mighty procession.
After entering the city, they went their separate ways. Hang Shuheng went to the clinic to get medicine, while Song Ning and the children went to the house first in Shuisheng's ox cart. When passing by a pastry shop, Song Ning asked Shuisheng to stop the car and went in to buy some cakes.
On the other hand, Hang Shuheng went to the clinic he visited last time. He had a good impression of this clinic. This time, by chance, he met Wang Jin who came to get medicine in front of the clinic again.
"Detective Wang, what a coincidence, you're here to get medicine again?"
"Hang Tongsheng, what a coincidence, you too?"
"Hahaha, it seems like we are destined to meet each other when it comes to getting medicine."
The two of them looked at each other holding a prescription and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Detective Wang, is the elder in your family still sick?"
"Alas! My mother has been bedridden for many years. It is an old illness." Wang Jin's face was filled with worry when he mentioned it. He found that the medicine he had taken recently seemed to be ineffective. If it continued like this, he didn't know how long his mother could last.
So that's why. This medicine requires long-term use. No wonder he owed the clinic so much money for medicine.
Hang Shuheng couldn't help but say, "Maybe, if we change doctors, there might be a chance of improvement."
Wang Jin shook his head dejectedly, "I've changed many doctors, but it's no use."
"An old man has been staying at my house recently. He knows some medical knowledge. If Constable Wang is not afraid of trouble, he can take your mother to see him sometime. Maybe..."
As soon as Hang Shuheng finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he say such a thing? Isn't this just being generous to others? He could already imagine the old man at home getting so angry.
At the same time, five people carrying bags came to their house. They were an old couple, a young couple, and a child of four or five years old.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is it." The young wife pointed at the front door and said, "Look, this house is so big and magnificent. Only the three of them live here, and the owner is not here."
"Are you sure this is the right one?"
"It can't be wrong. My daughter-in-law has been squatting here for three days. It can't be wrong. Dad, Mom, now we can live in a big house."
Several people looked at the house in front of them with greed in their eyes, and were already imagining the days after living in it.
