Chapter 256: Mayor

"He's already in this state, did you just discover it?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were filled with lingering fear, but his tone was furious as he cursed in a hoarse voice at the people standing in front of him who were trying to pretend to be mute.

Those people didn't dare to talk back after being scolded, because they thought that the shopkeeper had seen what had happened just now, and instead of just driving them all away, he was doing a good job of standing there and scolding them.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, the shopkeeper, after getting tired of scolding, turned his attention to the young boy.

He asked all kinds of questions, such as when the disease was contracted, where it was contracted, when the disease would relapse, etc. His questions were asked in a serious and earnest manner, without any disdain for them at all.

Seeing this, those people were moved and no longer pretended to be dumb. Instead, they told the shopkeeper everything they knew about the young boy.

After listening to what these people said, the shopkeeper was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about the wording. After thinking, he looked up at these people, shook his head and sighed:

"Let's go to another hospital. I'm sorry I can't help you. My medical skills are not good enough."

However, in the east of Nanyu City, this clinic is the most famous and has the best medical skills.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, these people's hearts were almost broken, knowing that there was no hope from now on.

One of the men stood up and said something that stunned the shopkeeper.

He said that in their town, not only his child but all the children in the town had the disease.

The doctors in the town had no cure, and some people were so desperate to save their children that they asked so-called Taoist priests to perform a ritual to expel the evil spirits from their children's bodies.

As a result, that group of people listened to the words of an unscrupulous Taoist priest and forced their own children to death.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was filled with anger, but he could only listen. He was powerless to do anything else.

But the most important thing now is the young boy. He has never heard of this disease and has no idea what it is. How can he know how to treat it? ! He really has no idea where to start.

But I don’t know how to deal with this. I have to wait until the condition of the young boy inside stabilizes before I can make further plans. After all, I can’t stay here forever.

It was an hour later for the young boy to wake up.

The shopkeeper entered the backyard again and looked at the young boy lying on the bed who had fainted again. Then he looked around the messy room. His forehead twitched, and the few people who were looking at him and the young boy on the bed tremblingly didn't say anything.

Only then did he understand why the young boy did not move even though his face showed a look of pain after screaming in pain.

It turns out that after the onset of the disease, a person's temperament and aggressiveness will become even more violent, and he will not recognize his relatives, which is really frightening to watch.

These people obviously learned from previous incidents, which is why they did not rush forward to stop anything.

These people knew that the shopkeeper had no other options, so they did not argue any further. After simply thanking him, they carried their children and left the clinic. It was already dark by then, and these people surrounded the man in the middle who was carrying the child, their faces filled with panic, worry, and fear.

Even though the shopkeeper felt sorry for the boy, he had no choice but to close the door of the clinic and spend the whole day thinking about the boy's illness.

After thinking for a whole day without any results, the shopkeeper stood guard at his original position the next day, waiting for people to come to buy medicinal herbs. However, in the morning, few people came to his clinic to buy anything. The shopkeeper, who was enjoying the leisure time, was dozing off. However, not long after, a group of people rushed in and slammed the door of his shop on the other side. The frightened shopkeeper stood up subconsciously, staring at the group of people in front of him with wide eyes, feeling that they had been particularly restless in the past few days.

His impatient look didn't last long as he was startled by the people each of the group of people was carrying on their backs.

Look at his condition, it's exactly the same as the little boy's condition the day before yesterday!

The shopkeeper quickly stood up and greeted them. Without saying any nonsense, he just led everyone to the backyard. However, the place was a bit small and the couch could not accommodate so many people, so a few of them had to lie on the ground.

But he thought about it again, if these people got sick like that young boy, would they still be alive after getting sick? He asked this question.

Upon hearing this, the strong men who brought the patients here shook their heads nonchalantly and said it was okay. Their illness only caused them to fall into a coma or feel dizzy, have stomachaches after waking up, etc. It would not harm anyone.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then asked them where they were from. The strong man did not lie and directly said that he was from the town in the east of the city.

There is only one small town in the east of the city. It is the place where the young boy who came here two days ago was born.

The shopkeeper felt that the problem could not be solved by a simple illness, so after settling this group of people, he rushed to the nearby government office to ask the officials to thoroughly investigate the town in the east of the city.

At that time, Zhang Kai happened to be in the east of the city on business. He learned that some people were looking for their mayor, so he followed them to see why someone came to the government office.

The shopkeeper waited for nearly two hours before the local mayor and a slightly younger man standing behind him arrived. However, the shopkeeper just glanced at the young man casually, then knelt down and told the mayor everything that had happened in the past two days.

Normally, the mayor would have kicked this person out or would have been too lazy to deal with this matter, after all, he didn't know how to deal with it. However, the people around him now were the city lord's trusted guards, subordinates and confidants. How could a small mayor dare to offend them? He had to perform well in front of them to try to prove that he had not neglected his duties.

The mayor of the city lord's mansion can actually be regarded as simple as the head of a village, and there is no actual talent available.

No matter how low-ranking an official is, he is still an official. What matters is the appearance.

In order to protect his own noodles, the mayor tried to appear gentle. He first helped the shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground to stand up and asked him to speak slowly. At the same time, he focused his attention on Zhang Kai and saw that he was frowning. The mayor thought that the shopkeeper said something wrong and was about to say something.
