Chapter 36 The Time It Takes to Burn an Incense Stick
Qin Shuangshuang did not expect that Jin Danian would try to bring her to justice so quickly.
She hasn't reached the camp yet and doesn't know what's going on inside. Lu Jun isn't with her either, so she really doesn't know what to do.
Just then, Qin Shuangshuang suddenly thought that it was probably unreasonable for him to detain her before she had even woken up.
Qin Shuangshuang remained calm and attempted to reason, "The situation is still unsettled, and the time is not yet ripe. You're already trying to arrest me? We need to go to the camp now. After I check and confirm that your master hasn't woken up, then it won't be too late for you to arrest me."
Now that they are lying in that tent, not far from here, why don't we go and take a look?"
She needs to die knowing why.
Jin Danian thought it over and over.
Then, he gestured to his brothers, who then put away their swords and knives.
At this moment, Jin Danian bowed and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "I am truly sorry for what happened earlier. I was just a little too hasty. Some of my brothers in the army have already spoken out, saying they want to bring you to justice."
I had no choice but to go along with everyone's wishes. I didn't want to see you, a young girl, lose your life for no reason, but my husband's life was far more important.
Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said to him, "Lead the way!"
The group then returned to their tents.
As soon as Qin Shuangshuang entered, she saw Lu Jun sitting there, taking the pulse of the adult lying on the bed.
Qin Shuangshuang stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation?"
Lu Jun turned his head to look at them, still holding Qin Shuangshuang's hand.
Lu Jun gave a look to Jin Danian beside him.
Jin Danian sensed something was wrong and quickly said to the two brothers behind him, "Quickly let go of Miss Qin."
The two brothers then released Qin Shuangshuang.
Qin Shuangshuang shook her wrist uncomfortably, stood behind Lu Jun, and asked, "How is it?"
Lu Jun pointed to Qin Shuangshuang's wound and said, "Although there are signs of improvement now, she still hasn't woken up. The bleeding has stopped, which is the most unexpected and pleasant surprise."
Upon hearing that the bleeding had stopped, Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed and said to him, "I was right. Using that herb really can stop a person's bleeding."
Jin Danian, standing behind her, said, "If the bleeding stops but the person hasn't woken up, we can't just let it go like this. After all, that's what Doctor Li did too. Even if the bleeding stops, it's not a big deal."
"As long as the master remains unconscious, we cannot conclude that you, young lady, have won. Therefore, if the master has not woken up by this time today, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will have no choice but to capture you."
Lu Jun looked at Jin Danian, who now seemed like someone who had turned his back on him.
Lu Jun stood up and said coldly to him, "You're being too harsh. Nobody can predict when a patient will wake up. Your master has already improved. Can't you see that his complexion is much better than before? Now you want to force him to do something against his will? Isn't that going too far?"
Qin Shuangshuang raised her hand to indicate, "No need to say more to him, just wait. I believe this gentleman will definitely wake up."
All eyes were on the adult lying on the couch. Just then, someone entered through the door carrying a pot of wine. After taking a sip or two, he rambled on, "Qin Shuangshuang, I'm telling you, it's a waste of your time. I've already said that instead of giving that herbal medicine to that half-dead adult lying on his bed, we should just use it ourselves."
Now it seems not only has things not improved, but I think this person is getting closer and closer to the underworld.
Upon hearing this, Jin Danian's attitude towards Doctor Li became extremely hostile and heavy. "What do you mean? If you say another word, believe me, I'll throw you out?"
Doctor Li, being a man terrified of being an official, hesitated and cautiously said to Jin Danian, "You can't do this. I'm your master's savior now. After all, it was me who stopped your master's bleeding."
If Qin Shuangshuang proves useless this time, who knows, we might still need me then, right?
Seeing his smug look, Qin Shuangshuang didn't pay him much attention. She then looked at the man's eyelids and noticed that his eyes were much clearer than before, no longer as cloudy and whitish as they used to be.
Qin Shuangshuang turned to Jin Danian and said, "The master should wake up soon."
Jin Danian said firmly, "We can't afford to waste any more time. The enemy will be at our door tomorrow. Now, no matter what, if the master doesn't wake up within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will have no choice but to let the brothers deal with you."
Lu Jun clenched his fists, and Qin Shuangshuang noticed his action and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I believe this kind of thing won't happen."
Lu Jun didn't think much of it. After loosening his fist, he continued to take the pulse of the adult in front of him.
He was checking the man's pulse to see if there would be any sudden changes. Now the time was ripe to act. If the man's pulse did not change in the short term, or if it slowed down, the consequences could be dire.
Seeing that the person on the bed remained motionless, Doctor Li turned to Jin Danian and said, "Lord Jin, you said before that you had to give this old Doctor Li a few ingots of gold, otherwise, how will I pay my consultation fee?"
Jin Danian, who was already impatient, said to him impatiently, "Don't worry, we will definitely do what we promised you. Whoever can wake up our master now is our savior and we will definitely respect and take good care of him."
Looking at the man lying on the couch, who remained unconscious, Doctor Li could only shrug and say, "The medicine Qin Shuangshuang gave him is now taking effect. If I intervene a little more, it won't be long before you truly die. Just watch. If there's no sign of life after an incense stick's time, then you should arrest Qin Shuangshuang, and I'll personally save your life."
Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Give me a break. If you hadn't smeared that wood ash so heavily on this adult's body, how could his wounds have been repeatedly treated?"
So much so that the worm had spread throughout his internal organs. For example, he's much better now, the bleeding has stopped, and he's been unconscious for a while. If we were to try to cut him a few more times or apply some ash, ...
"Then it would be faster to just throw him into the underworld."
Before long, a stick of incense was placed on the table, and everyone stared at it, their eyes fixed on it.
Some people looked expectant, some looked worried, while others were already rubbing their hands together, their greasy faces filled with anticipation.
Seeing that half an incense stick's time had passed, Qin Shuangshuang looked at the person on the bed, who still hadn't woken up for a while. Her already restless excitement made her clench her fists.
At this moment, she became inexplicably nervous and said to Jin Danian opposite her, "Official Jin, I need to go out to relieve myself first, I will be back in a while."
Jin Danian reached out and stopped her, "That won't do. If Miss Qin leaves, the master still hasn't woken up, and you've run away too, how am I supposed to explain this?"
