Chapter 128 I Guarantee
"Young master, your complexion appears dull; you must be suffering from insomnia lately."
Yang Shuo lowered her pale red, clear eyes, as if pondering something, murmuring to herself.
His brow was furrowed and his face was pale, unlike the usual causes of insomnia. Perhaps it was caused by poison.
If Jiang Yueming possessed the ability to read minds, he would probably be utterly astonished by Yang Shuo's conjecture by now.
Unfortunately, his words to the female doctor did not stir much emotion within him.
It's common knowledge that lack of sleep can cause dark circles under the eyes.
Of course, he was referring to his original era, so he didn't react hastily to Yang Shuo's words.
"I did have some trouble sleeping, but it's nothing serious," Jiang Yueming replied politely, not wanting the other person to talk to themselves.
Xie Chengkun, who was standing to the side, did not say anything when Yang Shuo suddenly started talking to Jiang Yueming.
After all, Yang Shuo is a renowned physician in the Imperial State. It would be only natural for her to help patients. Besides, how much longer can Jiang Yueming live?
Based on my experience of over forty years, there's nothing to investigate about this medical consultation and diagnosis.
Seeing that even the second-in-command was like this, the bandits responsible for escorting him were also happy to wait, since waiting a little longer would allow them to catch another glimpse of the magnificent and beautiful face of the Imperial Physician.
Even though they could only be separated by a veil, it was enough for them to enjoy their fantasies.
You should know that finding Doctor Yang is extremely difficult. She wanders around all year round, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to see her!
But as I watched them, I suddenly became annoyed.
Jiang Yueming wasn't the only one standing in front of Doctor Yang, so why was it that only this kid got to be spoken to by Doctor Yang?
Envy! Jealousy! Hatred!
The two bandits' eyes suddenly turned ruthless as they looked at Jiang Yueming, their hatred practically bursting forth.
"Um"
Upon hearing Jiang Yueming's reply, Yang Shuo nodded slightly in her white bamboo hat, and with her slender fingers, she took out a black pill from her sleeve. She said in a cool voice, "I have some medical knowledge and would like to give you this pill to cure your illness. However, please remember not to grind it into powder and take it, otherwise you may become drowsy."
"The best time to take the medicine is when the sun is setting in the southwest. Young master, you must not miss it, otherwise the stubborn illness will be difficult to cure."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming's face finally showed a hint of surprise. She immediately accepted the pills and thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, doctor, for saving my life. But where can I find medicine again if I need it in the future?"
"It's alright. My daughter has been traveling in Jizhou for a long time and has her own methods. I guarantee that your illness will be cured."
After Yang Shuo finished speaking, she didn't wait for the next words. She turned slightly, and a clear bell sound echoed through the space. She then took a step forward and continued walking towards the main hall of the village, which was the place where Xie Chengkun had indicated for medical consultations.
Jiang Yueming watched Yang Shuo's retreating figure, then looked down at the pills on her fingers and smiled, "This female doctor is quite clever."
"Let's go, what are you still looking at!"
Just as Jiang Yueming was praising Yang Shuo's quick wit, a bandit suddenly shoved him from behind, his words laced with intense jealousy.
Clearly, they envied Jiang Yueming for having contact with Yang Shuo, or rather, they were jealous of his interactions with Yang Shuo.
"Heh, if you two castrated yourselves right now, I guarantee she'd rush over to see you."
Jiang Yueming knew what these bandits were thinking. She raised an eyebrow and said to them with a joking expression.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"
The bandits refused to listen to his advice, so Jiang Yueming could only shrug helplessly and walk towards the back of the village.
That's where the three hundred men and women who were imprisoned for the alchemy ceremony were held. With Jiang Yueming added, that makes a total of three hundred people.
So after the bandits locked Jiang Yueming and the messenger in the cell, they felt a little more relaxed. This month, they had used all sorts of means to gather three hundred men and women, which had taken a lot of energy. Now they could finally rest.
"Old Ghost, these are all yours now."
"Okay, no problem!"
In a large, dimly lit prison cell, several bandits finished making their last arrangements outside the iron bars and hurriedly left, leaving only an old bandit to guard the prison.
"Hmm, it feels quite familiar," Jiang Yueming said with some emotion as he looked around the cell.
After all, he was in prison when he first transmigrated, and now two months have passed, it seems like everything has started all over again.
His behavior was completely different from the others in the cell, even forming a stark contrast, while the others were either terrified or blank and desperate.
But he just seemed so relaxed, as if the prison was his own home.
"Hey kid, do you know we're going to be sacrificed the day after tomorrow?"
In a corner of the prison, a tall butcher suddenly fixed his fierce gaze on Jiang Yueming and shouted a rebuke.
Some people are like that. If you don't fit in, I'll force you to fit in. I just won't let you be different from them!
This butcher clearly has this mentality: why are they so terrified, while you, Jiang Yueming, look so relaxed?
Jiang Yueming noticed the butcher's gaze, blinked, and said, "I don't know?"
He said it was true and very sincere.
But in the eyes of the butchers, you are out of place. You know nothing and you're locked up in jail, yet you act like you don't care. What are you pretending for?
"Fine, you little brat, you're dead..."
"Shh! Listen, there's a strange sound," Jiang Yueming suddenly said, his expression turning serious as he put a finger to his lips.
"What's that sound?" The butcher suddenly frowned, his initial anger temporarily suppressed.
At this moment, everyone's attention in the cell was focused on the two of them. No one made a sound, and the cell was as quiet as a lake under the moonlight.
After a long silence, Jiang Yueming slowly curved her lips into a smile and said to the butcher, word by word, "A dog is barking."
"You brat!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher's face turned extremely ugly. He stood up, clenched his fist, and prepared to smash it at Jiang Yueming.
"Wait, I'll let you out."
His voice rang out, and not only did the butcher stop what he was doing, but everyone in the cell also turned their attention to him.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Why should we believe you?
"Do you have any ideas?"
One anxious question after another rang out from inside the prison, but there was still a glimmer of hope for survival in their voices compared to before.
"Yes," Jiang Yueming affirmed, then looked up at the iron window by the wall. A red sun was slowly setting, and the warm sunlight shone on him, as if he were covered with a layer of holy light.
Perhaps they shouldn't have been so quick to assume Jiang Yueming had a solution, after all, he just looked like a child, but when it came to life and death, they couldn't think that far ahead.
Being alive is more important than anything else!
……
The grand lobby.
A middle-aged man dressed in a red cloth shirt with a beard sat in a chair, carefully observing Yang Shuo and Xie Chengkun below.
"Xie Chengkun, didn't I tell you to invite Doctor Liu? Why did you bring a woman?"
Anger flickered in Li Gu's eyes, and he immediately rebuked Xie Chengkun without any mercy.
It seemed that Li Gu didn't know much about Yang Shuo. Xie Chengkun stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Chief, please calm down. This Doctor Yang was recommended by Mr. Liu."
"What? That kid didn't come in person, he just shoved some random stuff at me?" Upon hearing this, Li Gu slammed his large hand on the wooden table next to him, and the powerful force instantly shattered and collapsed the table.
His cold eyes then stared intently at Yang Shuo's beautiful body, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
However, Yang Shuo stood quietly to the side the whole time and did not interfere with their conversation.
When the wind blew, the thin veil of her white straw hat fluttered slightly. Yang Shuo met Li Gu's fierce gaze, but her pale red eyes showed no reaction.
But her cold red eyes stung Li Gu's eyes, as if he had crashed into a block of ice.
"Master, please don't be anxious. After extensive investigation, I have found that the medical skills of this Physician Yang are indeed superior to those of Mr. Liu, so she will definitely be able to cure your illness."
"With over forty years of experience, I can guarantee that she is absolutely trustworthy," Xie Chengkun said, patting his chest at the end.
