Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag
Chapter 41: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (20)
Mrs. Lu looked at the doctor nervously, but she also knew that this was not a good time to speak. The poison in her son's arm wound had already begun to spread visibly.
An old man inserted needles all over Lu Xingyi's body. Lu Xingyi's left hand hung on the side of the bed, and a cut was made on his finger to drain the poisonous blood. The doctor was busy and sweating profusely before he finally stopped the poison from worsening. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu hurriedly handed a handkerchief to the old man to wipe his sweat.
"Xing Yi is probably in danger this time. Although the poison has been temporarily prevented from spreading, it cannot be expelled. If we can't find an antidote as soon as possible, I'm afraid we can only..." He didn't say anything else, but Mrs. Lu still understood what he meant.
The Lu family was skilled in dual-sword wielding. If he lost his left arm and only had one to wield, his family's martial arts skills would be useless. Although she had three sons, Lu Xingyi was undoubtedly the most gifted. She would not give up on this son unless it was absolutely necessary.
"What kind of poison is this? Even you can't cure it."
"I've never seen this poison before, but this style is very similar to that of Du Lao Xie. Back then, Du Lao Xie was ambushed by someone unknown and was poisoned with a very strong poison. Furthermore, he committed many evil deeds and harmed many people. One of them gained his trust and joined forces with us. That's how the then Wulin leader led his men to destroy Medicine Valley in one fell swoop."
"It's said that when everyone entered, they saw a scene of corpses and bones piled up like a mountain. Many young second-generations had nightmares for a long time after returning. Lu Feibai was there at the time, you can ask him too."
"Could it be that Du Laoxie is not dead?" Mrs. Lu asked tentatively.
The old man shook his head and said, "Du Lao Xie liked to use living people to make pills. He is indeed dead. I saw him burned to ashes with my own eyes. In recent years, there have not been many people disappearing one after another like in those days, but this matter is definitely related to Du Lao Xie. Maybe someone secretly practiced his skills." At that time, many medicine men were indeed let go.
"Didn't you say there was a girl named Xing Yi who came back with them? You might as well go and ask her what happened."
Madam Lu nodded. "Then I'd like to trouble you to keep an eye on Xing Yi. I'll go ask her and see if I can find any clues."
Lu Xingyi fell into a coma, and Jiang Yihuan hugged the teacup blankly. Mrs. Lu's personality was different from other ladies she had met. She was also a chivalrous woman when she was young, with a carefree personality and could not tolerate any injustice.
She naturally saw that she would never marry a man from the underworld, so she quickly withdrew her superficial good impression of her. Now Lu Xingyi had suffered such a disaster because of her. Even if she wanted to hide it, once Lu Xingyi woke up, it would be impossible to hide it.
"Madam." Jiang Yihuan bowed.
Madam Lu waved her hand and said, "We are people of the underworld, we don't do these things."
"Miss Jiang, I have something to ask you this time. Xingyi came to look for you. Who hurt you this time?"
Jiang Yihuan naturally started by talking about how he was being hunted by Madam Chen, but he naturally concealed the matter of Su Xiu and the Medical Immortal Valley.
Madam Lu's frown deepened, "Injured by a mute?"
It is said that Du Laoxie really likes to raise some mutes as medicine men, but when they sent people to the place where the fight took place, they saw only traces of the fight, but no trace of the medicine man killed by Xing Yi, and the other medicine man had run away.
"Yes, the poison took effect very quickly on Xing Yi at that time. Before he could finish off the other mute, he took advantage of the poison and ran away." Jiang Yihuan lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression.
This matter was of vital importance. If the Du Laoxie sect truly revived, the martial arts world would undoubtedly be plunged into a bloodbath, which was naturally not what she wanted to see. Although there was some doubt in her words, Madam Lu did not have time to question her in detail at this moment. She had to quickly inform all the sects about this matter and let them be vigilant.
"Miss Jiang, please keep this matter confidential and don't spread it around, otherwise I'm not sure if you are safe." She had never associated Jiang Yihuan with Du Laoxie. For a child of an imperial official, it was a coincidence that she got to know these people.
"Yes, Mrs. Lu." Jiang Yihuan nodded.
"Could you please help me get some information?"
"what news?"
"I want to know what's going on at home."
Mrs. Lu no longer had the patience to listen to her anymore. She had just been talking nonsense for so long that she finally heard something useful. Now who knows how much longer she would talk again. If she had anything to say, she could just say no.
She raised her hand to interrupt, "You don't have to tell me, I'll give you two people, if you have anything to ask, just ask them."
Jiang Yihuan wiped away the non-existent tears and looked at Madam Lu gratefully, "Thank you, Madam."
Mrs. Lu ignored her. She had a lot of things to do. She had to get her husband out of seclusion as soon as possible and recall her two sons who were away. Back then, it was Lu Feibai's master who led the joint efforts to kill the Poison Old Evil. If he was really a descendant of the Poison Old Evil, he would definitely not let his sons go.
Jiang Yihuan was somewhat thankful that she had organized her words in advance, so she hadn't been caught off guard. Mrs. Lu's oppression was so intense that she felt like a prisoner being interrogated. She didn't dare meet Mrs. Lu's eyes, afraid her breathing would reveal her true thoughts.
"I'm afraid this poison is not so easy to cure." There is probably no other way to cure Su Xiu's poison except the detoxification pills in the mall and himself.
"What should we do then? Can he just wait to die?"
"In this small world, apart from the antidote prepared by Su Xiu herself, only my detoxification pills can solve the problem. Otherwise, you can only amputate the arm to save your life." The system couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks. Anyway, it had already taken away all the luck of this son of luck. His life or death was certainly not important, but it didn't know what Jiang Yihuan would choose.
"How many detoxification pills do I have left?"
"There are two left in the mall, and your luck points are enough to exchange for them."
"But I have to remind you that one detoxification pill, besides detoxifying, can only guarantee your immunity to all poisons for three days. But when you attack Su Xiu, I don't know if these two pills will be enough."
Jiang Yihuan quickly gave up the idea of saving Lu Xingyi, but her expression was still a little hesitant.
The system continued, "If you redeem all of them for two detoxification pills, your remaining luck points may not be enough to redeem many one-time but life-saving skills like Water Avoidance."
So now, what will you choose? The system's evil is clearly revealed, and it always likes to see human greed at this time.
"When did I say I wanted to save him? What does his life or death have to do with me?" Even if he is sincere to her, she will never fall in love with a gangster. This kind of life of fighting and killing is not what she wants at all.
