The First Tyrant of Daxia
Chapter 1030: The hemp rope is specially cut at the thinnest places
Qin Yun smiled and said with his hands behind his back: "You are half right."
Hearing this, the strange old man seemed to understand, then said goodbye for a moment and staggered out of a utility room with a sack of sulfur.
Put it on the ground with a thud.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, all of Lao She's sulfur is here. Since Your Majesty needs it, Lao She will donate it all."
Qin Yun took a look and it was a lot, but if it was used to make gunpowder, it would be a drop in the bucket.
I’m afraid it can’t even satisfy the initial trial and error.
"Did you make these yourself?"
The strange old man nodded: "These are all polished by Lao She when he was free."
Qin Yun took a deep breath, his hands trembling with excitement. He looked at the strange old man as if he was looking at a huge treasure.
Developing a country through industry is already a great ambition, but gunpowder is a level higher!
Models of red cannons had even begun to appear in his mind!
"Old man, to be honest, this sulfur is of great use to me! It is so useful that the entire Daxia can live a peaceful and stable life within ten years. There will be no more wars and no more frozen corpses!"
Hearing this, the strange old man and Yu Wang both opened their eyes wide.
"Your Majesty, is it really that powerful?"
"This... this sulfur can only repel snakes. It has no medicinal value. How can it benefit the whole world?"
Qin Yun said seriously: "What I said is absolutely true!"
"But this sulfur, I need a lot!"
"And in order to save time, I want to hire you to work for the court and develop sulfur. I will equip you with many, many people and give you everything and courtesy you want!"
Faced with such a polite invitation from the emperor, I'm afraid anyone would be flattered.
But the strange old man frowned and shook his head directly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am old and can't walk anymore. I also want to be buried in the soil under my feet after I die, so I can only refuse your kindness."
On the side, Yu Wang frowned and his scalp felt cold. This strange old man was just so weird. He even dared to refuse the emperor!
Qin Yun was just about to say something.
All I heard was a loud crackling sound coming from the room, as if something had broken into pieces.
"Old, old man..." A weak voice came, and the strange old man ran in immediately as if he heard a divine voice.
"Your Majesty, this?" Old Feng hesitated.
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "That's his wife, right?"
Yu Wang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that she had a serious illness and has not recovered for more than 20 years. She relies on the weird old man to sell sulfur powder to make money to keep her alive."
"Alas!" he sighed.
"This weird old man has a bad fate. For the sake of his wife, he refused to take a concubine for more than 20 years. In order to save his wife, he even went up the mountain to collect herbs and lost one hand. His huge family business was also lost."
Hearing this, the atmosphere was heavy and touching!
Qin Yun frowned and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Since the patient is still alive after more than 20 years, there may be a chance for this disease to improve!"
He didn't want to force the strange old man, so he planned to approach it from the side. After all, it was obvious that the strange old man was unwilling to walk out the door because of his seriously ill wife.
As I entered the house, a pungent herbal smell hit me.
The furnishings in this room are slightly richer, and it looks like someone lives there. It is relatively tidy, except for the large number of medicine jars.
Qin Yun looked over and saw an old woman lying on the sickbed, who was tortured by illness and looked like a nobody. She had sunken eye sockets and was skinny.
But even so, her clothes were still very neat and her white hair was combed.
For an ancient man to be able to do this is truly shameful.
"Old, old man...who are they?" The old woman's voice was very weak, and she seemed unable to take care of herself while lying on the bed.
The strange old man turned around, slightly alert.
Qin Yun stepped forward with a smile and said, "We are here to treat you."
"See a doctor?" The old woman's turbid eyes were stunned, and then she blamed the strange old man.
"Old man, I've told you so many times, don't look for a doctor for me, it's useless, I've lived enough..."
"Leave me some money. You have to live on your own after I leave."
Her voice was weak and she was still choking, and finally she shed bitter tears.
Qin Yun quickly helped explain: "Old man, I don't want any money."
"I asked the old man for some sulfur as a reward, so I came to help you with your medical treatment. If you don't mind, let my people help you."
As he spoke, Mr. Feng stepped forward.
Although he is not a famous doctor, he is an expert in taboos. He has lived for most of his life and has seen more things than many people have eaten salt. It is okay for him to see if the patient can still be saved.
The strange old man glanced at Old Feng, then thought of Qin Yun's identity, and suddenly felt hopeful!
"Thank you very much!" He made way and looked at Qin Yun gratefully.
On the side, the old woman wiped her tears and hesitated slightly: "You really don't want the money?"
"No." Qin Yun smiled, but he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.
In such a poor family, seeing a doctor is a luxury.
At this time, Mr. Feng stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pressed on the old woman's pulse.
After just a sip of tea, his expression turned serious and he turned around and asked, "Does your wife have a congenital disease?"
When the strange old man heard this, his face changed drastically.
He exclaimed, “Yes, yes!”
"Cuifang has suffered from respiratory disease since she was a child. No matter how she was treated, it would not work. Only by boiling some precious medicine into soup and letting her drink it could she get better."
"But when it rains, she feels chest tightness, shortness of breath, and joint pain. It's more painful than... than death."
Hearing this, Old Feng came to Qin Yun and shook his head with a heavy face.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, he is already terminally ill and cannot be saved."
"Even if Divine Doctor Sun came, he couldn't save her. Twenty years is too long. If it was ten years earlier, I might have been able to help her."
"But now, we can only let her go without so much pain."
Qin Yun's brows furrowed.
Qi disease should be the congenital asthma in later generations. In this era, it is equivalent to a terminal illness.
Moreover, this old woman obviously had incurable diseases such as rheumatism. After more than 20 years, her body had long since collapsed and she couldn't even get out of bed.
The strange old man cast an eager look, full of expectation: "Yes, is there any hope?"
Qin Yun couldn't bear it and glanced at the old woman on the sickbed again.
He said softly, "Come out and tell me."
He walked out first.
The strange old man comforted the old woman, then followed her out and came under the tree in the yard.
"Is my wife's illness incurable?" He asked bitterly, as if he knew the answer from Qin Yun's expression.
Qin Yun exhaled a breath of foul air: "Her body is already exhausted. You should know this better than anyone else. Your extension of her life is already a torment for her."
"I can find the best medicine to help her regain some strength so that she can live a normal life with you for a few days."
"And then... let her go without being so painful."
