Chapter 40 The strange doctor
The woods fifty miles outside the city.
There was a bamboo house standing where the smoke was rising, and there was a strong smell of medicine.
Looking at the words on the door, she really doubted the authenticity of the note.
Probably because she was not her childhood self inside, she finally couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound.
Then she comforted herself, maybe there was something special about her?
right?
The expert had his own quirks, and unconsciously looked at Gu Qing beside him. She was about to knock on the door, but he stretched out his arm to block her.
"Miss, stand far away, I'll do it."
After agreeing to knock on the door, Gu Qing slapped it away without any sign of visiting. When the door opened, he stood back beside Shen Ange.
An old voice came from the house: "Hey! Why are you treating my door like this!"
Shen Ange raised his eyes and saw that it was the old man who had lived in the mansion for many days, but he was even more rickety.
Gu Qing took her eyes away from him, adjusted her inner breath, and her eyes were a little sharper.
"Are you Liu Shubai?"
"Miss Shen, we meet again. I am indeed Liu Shubai. I wonder why Miss Shen has been looking for me for so many days?"
Shen Ange didn't answer his words, but looked at him with doubts in his eyes, saying that he didn't show his true colors easily, so today?
The old man smiled knowingly, understanding what she was looking at, and explained: "It's not convenient to show your true face to others. It's just for the outside world. There was a lot of trouble in the Shen Mansion in the past few days, so you should be honest with me."
"Miss Shen, why do you want to see me?"
Shen Ange felt a little apologetic and said: "Miracle Doctor, I did have some doubts just now. Please forgive me, Doctor Miracle. I am just searching for my close relatives at home and want to learn the art of Qihuang from you."
The cunning in the old man's eyes escaped Shen Ange's eyes but not Gu Qing's, and he could see every move.
When he heard others asking for something from him, the old man's voice became a little more arrogant.
"Miss Shen, please come in first, let's talk in the room."
The old man was bowing his body, as if he couldn't straighten up because of his old age. Shen Ange and Gu Qing were walking behind him. Shen Ange kept a careful eye and subconsciously observed the person in front of him.
After a while, he came to a conclusion and turned sideways to look at Gu Qing. After receiving her signal, Gu Qing understood it.
He didn't know what she would do, but he was very interested to see the little rabbit's reaction.
Furthermore, she is still useful to him, and he would find it annoying if his prey is being targeted by others.
The old man led the two people into the room. He waved his hand for them to sit down and brought them tea.
"Let's have a sip of tea first."
He smiled at Shen Ange in an elderly manner, then turned around and brought them snacks, but Shen Ange looked at the tea, smelled it, and didn't drink it.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen. Did Miss Shen ask about my rules before coming here?"
"Won't this young master sit down?"
Seeing that the other party was talking about herself, Gu Qing didn't pay attention and looked at Shen Ange with a dull expression.
Gu Qing ignored the other party, and the old man said in order to feel a little unnatural: "If you don't want to sit down, don't sit down. Young people can stand up."
"Mr. Liu, I don't know your rules. If you have any requests, just ask and I will agree to them."
The old man pulled out his chair and sat down, and said thoughtfully: "Oh, do you really agree to anything?"
"Yes, I agree to everything."
"What if I want you to stay here with me tonight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ange became angry.
"Do you know what you are talking about? If you are not Divine Doctor Liu, it would be better to make it clear as soon as possible."
The old man leaned back in his chair arrogantly, his voice full of the aura of having a magic ticket.
"You have no sincerity at all, so how can I teach you?"
Seeing how shameless he was, Shen Ange became even more convinced that he was not Liu Shubai. He stood up and wanted to leave, but he didn't want to sit back down.
Gu Qing, who was standing, was also unsteady and could barely support herself by holding on to the edge of the table.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Ange slumped in the chair and spoke helplessly.
At this time, the old man no longer concealed himself, and said with a smile: "Little beauty, I have been looking for you in Changyuan for so long, and I have never seen any girl who looks like you. She is very suitable for me."
"The guard next to you made me spend some time. Do you think that as long as you don't drink tea, you will be fine? You have been poisoned since you entered the yard. How delicious is the scent of this medicine?"
"Don't worry, this poison won't hurt you. It will only make you weak for a few hours. It won't do anything to you if you are left here. Even I only love pretty girls, and I only want to take blood. I know how to pick a pretty girl."
"Wait a minute, you are the only one left. When I take some of your blood to use as medicine, the medicine will be ready. You won't die, just a little bit."
Shen Ange lost her composure after seeing him take a big bowl and winked at Gu Qing. Although she asked Gu Qing to prepare before entering, she didn't know the extent of his ability.
She was a little worried. If it didn't work, the two of them would really be in trouble here.
Before the old man could turn around, Gu Qing was no longer as weak as before. He quickly tapped his acupuncture points, forced him to open his mouth and fed a pill in.
This poison couldn't be easier for Gu Qing, but he was a little selfish at the moment, so he didn't detoxify Shen Ange, and then changed his method.
He came over and stood next to Shen Ange and said, "Miss, I'm offended."
Gu Qing hugged her whole body and made her stand upright. Fortunately, Shen Ange could still speak and she understood what Gu Qing meant.
Facing him, he said: "Old sir, I have no intention of making things difficult for you. Just hand over the antidote and I can pretend that nothing happened."
Although she was just powerless, Shen Ange gradually lost the strength to speak. She was surprised by Gu Qing's body. Why could he move freely? Was he just pretending to look like that?
In his previous life, he was so good at using poison. Could it be that he started using it when he was young? So now, even mild poison can't do anything to him?
Gu Qing naturally didn't miss the gaze of the person in his arms, but he didn't care. He unblocked the old man's acupuncture points and put Shen Ange back on the chair and settled down.
"Bring the antidote."
After unblocking the acupuncture points, the old man was no longer as rickety or old as before. He straightened up and started grabbing his throat frantically, trying to spit out the pills he had just fed.
There was no response for a long time, which made him retching and his eyes were red. He simply tore off his disguise and revealed his true face.
No longer as old as before, he has a feminine look under the mask, and his thin eyebrows are the same as those of his daughter.
"What did you feed me just now?"
Gu Qing didn't look at him, the air around him was cold and his words were like sharp swords.
"What do you think it is?"
Shen Ange could tell that he was not happy. She didn't know why he was unhappy. She didn't have the strength to speak now, so she had to look at him.
Gu Qing ignored Shen Ange's gaze and continued to move, holding her upright and placing his hand on the back of her head.
Liu Shubai watched the interaction between the two and squinted his eyes subtly. The scrutinizing gaze made her a little uncomfortable.
Sorry, because I forgot to click send yesterday, I thought it had been updated, but I didn't expect to see it this morning.
