The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 255 Symptoms

The people here were either sitting motionless on chairs or kneeling on couches, with expressions of pain and fear on their faces. They seemed to be in great pain, as if they had seen something that frightened them extremely. They huddled together and trembled all over.

Some of them were even lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive. In any case, they looked very creepy.

Zhang Wenlai was silent for a moment, wanting to see if the man lying on the ground was dead or alive, but was stopped by Zhang Kai who was standing behind him and observing his expression. He had a bit of pity on his face, but his words were extremely calm. He only heard him say:

"Sir, there is no need to look any further, that man is already dead."

Zhang Wenlai's body swayed, as if he had lost his balance, or perhaps he was so shocked by Zhang Kai's tone that he didn't know how to react.

Zhang Kai quickly reached out and held Zhang Wenlai's right arm, helping him stand up.

"Why did he die?"

Zhang Wenlai asked in a hoarse voice, seeming a little bit unbelievable.

Zhang Kai looked away reluctantly and replied slowly, "Of course he was tortured to death by these diseases."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenlai kept his eyes on him, as if waiting for him to continue explaining.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Kai reached out and pulled his master away from this haunted place, and went to the front yard to explain the current situation.

Zhang Wenlai's expression was cold and stiff, which was an emotion Zhang Kai rarely saw on his master's face, except for one or two times when his master was attacked by some people who were about to assassinate him and he had saved these people. Obviously, he couldn't stand it.

Zhang Kai once again looked elsewhere. When he saw the shopkeeper following behind them, he was moved and stood still in the front yard. He said to his master:

"Sir, the shopkeeper here knows more about the current situation, but I only have a vague understanding. Why don't I let the shopkeeper explain it to you on my behalf?"

Zhang Kai really only had a vague understanding of what was going on. He didn't lie, so he could only let the shopkeeper, who knew more than him and had actually been involved in the situation, handle it.

Zhang Wenlai looked at his expression and knew that he was indeed not lying, so he turned his attention to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect that the two men would involve him while talking. He raised his eyes with some trepidation and wanted to look at Zhang Wenlai, but saw that he was also looking at him at this time.

The shopkeeper lowered his head quickly and dared not look again.

He knew who the two people in front of him were, one was the Lord Mayor of their Nanyu City, and the other was his personal guard. As an ordinary civilian, he couldn't afford to offend either of them, until Zhang Kai called on him to answer, as the Lord Mayor wanted to hear his explanation.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Then he told Zhang Wenlai in front of him everything he knew, not daring to keep anything secret.

The shopkeeper really didn't know when this disease broke out. As for when he came into contact with this type of patient, it was three days ago.

Three days ago, the shopkeeper was staying in the clinic as usual waiting for customers to buy medicine or see a doctor. However, in the afternoon, a few people suddenly broke in, carrying a young boy whose face could not be seen clearly. He seemed to have fainted, so he did not move.

He didn't take it seriously at first and just asked these people to bring the boy to the couch in the backyard for him to see. However, he was shocked by the young boy's disordered pulse not long after he started looking at him.

The people standing next to him seemed to be the relatives of the young boy. When they saw that he frowned, they started shouting and asking what happened to their children.

The shopkeeper felt a little annoyed, so he let go of the young boy's hand and left with them, walking to the front yard.

The shopkeeper also truthfully told these people what he knew about the pulse, saying that he had never seen it before and was afraid there was nothing he could do.

Then these people started to make a noise. The shopkeeper was annoyed by them. The people who were standing here choosing herbs by themselves looked disgusted when they saw this. The shopkeeper was even more displeased with these people and wanted to drive them away.

But before he could utter a word, a scream suddenly came from the originally quiet backyard, which really scared everyone present. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost lost his footing.

The first to react were the people who brought the boy here. When the shopkeeper heard the boy's scream, he thought they would rush over to see what was going on, but they just stood there, looking anxious and not going to check on their child. This made the shopkeeper confused while the people were watching the show.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still standing here? Didn't I say that I, a quack doctor, wanted to take your child away? Why are you still standing here? Your child is in this state, why don't you go up and take a look? What are you doing standing here?"

Even after the shopkeeper said so, these people still didn't make any move. Not only the customers who were originally watching the show on the sidelines, but even he himself couldn't help but wonder in his heart what this group of people meant.

But just standing there doing nothing was not a solution. As a doctor, he would always feel soft-hearted when facing patients. So the shopkeeper stood up straight, without even looking at these people, and walked straight to the backyard.

Without thinking much, he put his hand in front of the door and was about to push it open to go in.

There was a loud 'bang', a sound that was a bit too loud, like the sound of bones hitting each other, which was very creepy. The shopkeeper, who had never seen such a scene, was so frightened that his palms trembled and his legs shook subconsciously, and then he quickly stepped back.

Looking up carefully, the young boy inside the door seemed to be banging against the door. Listening carefully to the sound, the shopkeeper guessed in his heart that it was what he had just seen with his own eyes. Judging from the sound and the outline of the figure inside, he was actually banging his head against the door. Was he trying to kill himself?!

The shopkeeper was very angry, his forehead was throbbing with anger, and he was about to push the door open in one go.

Reach out and push forward!

Huh? Why can't I push it open??!

Damn it, this brat actually blocked the door and wouldn't let him in? !

The shopkeeper was so angry that he cursed in his heart before he could say anything.

There was another scream from inside, even more miserable than the last one. The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and all his original momentum was gone. He didn't even have the courage to push the door in front of him.

He returned to the pharmacy in the front yard with cold sweat on his face. After finding a place to sit down, he looked at those people who were still standing there, wondering what they were thinking, and he was so angry!
