My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Gu Lili originally wanted to quickly inform the county magistrate of the prescription with the village head so that the county magistrate could issue an edict to help Donghai Town get rid of the plague as soon as possible.

But I didn't expect that Gu Shuwen, that bastard, would come to mess things up, and I was so angry that I almost lost my mind.

When Gu Shuwen heard what Gu Lili said, the corner of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

"Oh? Gu Lili, tell me, what method it is!" County Magistrate Yang asked hurriedly.

The county magistrate already had a fever and felt unwell all over, and now he had to judge a case here. His resentment was heavier than that of a ghost.

He had already made up his mind that if he found out who was lying, he would not let him off easily!

Gu Lili did not answer the county magistrate's words, but walked straight to Gu Shuwen and sneered, "Gu Shuwen, you said this prescription is yours, but do you know that in addition to this prescription, there is another auxiliary treatment method?"

Gu Shuwen was confused by the question. How would he know any auxiliary treatment methods?

Although the village head told his family the prescription last night, when he looked at his family, he remembered the bad things they had done and forgot to tell them how to bleed to reduce fever.

Gu Shuwen was asked and stammered, "Stop talking nonsense here. Where is the method of auxiliary treatment? Don't come here to fool the county magistrate, or you will be beaten with a stick!"

Gu Lili smiled. She had just carefully observed the county magistrate's fingers and found no blood.

This means that Gu Shuwen may not know the method of bloodletting to reduce fever. Now what Gu Shuwen said also unilaterally proves that he really didn't know.

The head of the village also reacted immediately. He was also so angry that he fainted just now.

At this moment, he was glad that he did not tell Gu Jingsheng the method of bloodletting last night.

The head of the village nodded at Gu Lili, and Gu Lili understood.

Gu Lili said calmly, "Mr. County Magistrate, my prescription needs to be used in conjunction with this treatment method to quickly reduce the fever. If you believe me, I can give it a try!"

Gu Lili saw that the county magistrate looked unwell at the moment. His face was sallow, his cheeks were red, and his lips were starting to chapped. These were obvious symptoms of a high fever.

If the county magistrate is willing to try his own method, he will naturally know who to trust.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll give it a try!" The county magistrate nodded in agreement.

He wanted to test the medicine himself to make sure it had no adverse effects before letting the people use it.

Gu Lili tilted her head and looked at Gu Shuwen and said, "Gu Shuwen, are you sure you really don't know the method of auxiliary treatment?"

"Gu Lili, stop playing tricks on me. You stole my mother's prescription and tried to deceive the county magistrate. How could our Gu family produce a liar like you?" Gu Shuwen scolded.

He thought Gu Lili was cheating on him, so he was still being stubborn.

Gu Lili shrugged indifferently and said, "I hope your mouth will still be so hard later."

After getting the county magistrate's consent, Gu Lili secretly bought a blood collection needle with her hand in her sleeve.

"Mr. County Magistrate, please stretch out your hand." Gu Lili said.

Everyone in the room surrounded the county magistrate and Gu Lili.

County Magistrate Yang stretched out his hand, and Gu Lili took the bloodletting needle and pierced County Magistrate Yang's Shaoshang acupoint quickly, accurately and fiercely.

As the needle fell, County Magistrate Yang frowned slightly.

"What a bold and unruly person! How dare he hurt the county magistrate! Quick, come and arrest this unruly person!" When Master Li saw Gu Lili stabbing County Magistrate Yang with a needle, he started shouting.

As Master Li spoke, he pointed at the bailiff and asked him to arrest Gu Lili.

Gu Shuwen couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.

Look, you've been pretending and ended up making things worse! You deserve it!

This scared the village head, and he hurried forward to explain.

County Magistrate Yang quickly stopped him, saying, "Master Li, why are you making such a fuss? I haven't even spoken a word yet!"

The bailiff who was about to step forward stopped when he heard the county magistrate's words.

"Mr. County Magistrate, your hand is bleeding. Gu Lili clearly has ulterior motives. I have seen acupuncture before. How could this be possible?" said Master Li.

County Magistrate Yang seemed to feel a lot lighter as he watched the blood oozing out of the needle.

I was dizzy from the burn, but now I seem to be much clearer.

"Okay! Since I have said that I am willing to try, I naturally believe in Gu Lili's intentions. Don't make a fuss." said the county magistrate.

After hearing what the county magistrate said, Master Li said nothing more, and the village head was relieved.

"Mr. County Magistrate, in about half an hour, your fever will slowly subside." Gu Lili said respectfully.

Gu Shuwen looked at Gu Lili coldly.

snort!

I don’t believe it. Just a prick like this can reduce the county magistrate’s fever!

How ridiculous!

He was ready to watch Lili get beaten.

In less than half an hour, County Magistrate Yang felt that his body was becoming lighter and lighter.

Master Li also noticed that County Magistrate Yang's complexion seemed to be getting better and better, and not as sallow as before.

"Gu Lili, your method is really effective! I feel much better now!" County Magistrate Yang couldn't help but admire.

Gu Lili replied respectfully, "My Lord County Magistrate, this method of mine is used in conjunction with the prescription. Although the prescription can reduce fever, the effect is not as fast as bloodletting. The biggest reason why this plague can kill people is that the high fever cannot be reduced, which will burn people to death. If you add bloodletting treatment and combine it with my prescription, and take it slowly, the disease will gradually get better!"

Although County Magistrate Yang did not understand medical principles, he knew that what Gu Lili said made sense.

Besides, hasn’t her method worked?

"Gu Shuwen, what else do you have to argue about?" The county magistrate's face darkened and he shouted at Gu Shuwen angrily.

Gu Shuwen shook his head in disbelief. How is it possible that a fever can be reduced with just one prick?

The county magistrate must have deliberately protected Gu Lili!

"County Magistrate Yang, you are not worthy of being an official. You are talking nonsense. You probably want to marry Gu Lili as your concubine, that's why you are so supportive of her! It was obviously me who gave you the prescription first!" Gu Shuwen was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

Before the county magistrate could get angry, Gu Lili jumped up and slapped Gu Shuwen hard in the face.

Gu Lili used almost all her strength to slap Gu Shuwen, and actually knocked him to the ground with one blow.

Gu Shuwen's mouth accidentally hit the chair and two of his front teeth were knocked out.

Gu Lili rubbed her aching right hand and cursed, "Gu Shuwen, you've learned all these years in vain! You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"

The county magistrate was frightened by Gu Lili at first, and then he was filled with anger.

I’m almost thirty years old and can be Gu Lili’s father!
