When they got closer, they realized that it was a medical hall with the words' Magical Hands Bring Back the Spring 'written on the door. Bai Xiaotian Medical Hall.
When they walked in, they realized that the medical hall wasn't only open, but there were plenty of people seated inside.
All of them were young and robust men who were bare-chested. All of them looked strong and had glossy black skin. Their pants weren't very clean as they were covered in black ash.
These people might be as robust as bulls, but they weren't in good spirits. Their faces were stiff, and their eyes were lifeless. Their eyeballs were emitting a faint red glow, and they would cough every once in a while.
At the innermost end of the medical hall, there was a white-haired elder seated cross-legged on the floor. In front of him was a small square table, and he was taking a patient's pulse with one hand while stroking his beard with the other.
The robust man who was being taken said, "Divine Physician Bai, you have to save me. My mother and younger sister are still waiting for me to live on with five taels of silver every month. If I die, they won't be able to live on either. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm worried about them …"
As soon as this man spoke, the men beside him chimed in as well. "That's right, Divine Physician. You have to save us. I am the only son in my family. If I die, there will be no one to carry on the family line."
There was even a younger man who was wiping his tears and grumbling. "It's all my fault. Seeing how others are earning five taels of silver every month, I decided to work at this fine iron mine. Before I could even collect the silver, I got infected with the plague. Wuu, I regret it so much …"
"Don't make a ruckus. Let This Old Man think about it." That Divine Physician Bai Xiaotian was also puzzled. He released his hand and lifted his head to see three luxuriously dressed men and women at the entrance.
This place might look flourishing, but it was actually a mining business. There weren't many people dressed like Ye Kong and the others.
In fact, Ye Kong was only dressed in green, but his aura of a cultivator and the sage-like demeanor that seeped out from his dao heart made mortals feel that he was extraordinary.
As for the luxurious feeling that Bai Xiaotian felt, it was because of the two people behind him. One of them was a young master with delicate makeup. His clothes were well-fitting, and there was a jade belt on his waist that looked extremely valuable. As for the other lady, she was even more radiant and beautiful. She was dressed in gold and silver and looked extremely beautiful.
In short, these people were definitely not ordinary people.
Bai Xiaotian hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Three foreign guests, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, Divine Physician Bai is too polite. We are just passersby and saw that Clear Canal Village seems to be flourishing, but all the shops are closed. Only your medical hall is open, so we came over to inquire." Ye Kong cupped his fists and replied.
Before Bai Xiaotian could say anything, the men who came to treat the patients were annoyed. They all said, "Foreigners, stop asking around. Leave quickly. Don't get caught by the plague and die in a foreign land."
Patriarch Acheron said angrily, "F * ck you, how can you say that? Whose mother died in a foreign land?"
Bai Xiaotian hurriedly came over and advised, "Little High Duke, don't lower yourself to the same level as these wild bulls. They are also infected with the plague, and there is no way to cure it. That's why they are distressed, and that's why they are spouting such malicious words."
Patriarch Acheron snorted and said, "Sigh, this Young Master originally wanted to treat all of you, but good people don't get rewarded. Since all of you don't want it, then forget it."
When Patriarch Acheron spoke, all the miners looked over, but when they saw Patriarch Acheron's age, all of their eyes revealed a look of disappointment.
The miner who didn't say anything nice earlier mocked, "Shameless boasting. You just threw away the pacifier a few days ago, and you dare to say that you can treat patients?"
Even Bai Xiaotian spoke up, "Little High Duke, this is a matter of life and death. You can't joke about it. If Little High Duke has nothing else to do, then please leave."
Patriarch Acheron was looked down upon in front of his wife, and he was instantly infuriated. "Who the f * ck is joking? Look at their faces. Their complexions are glowing, isn't this the same as the plague? "
Bai Xiaotian was shocked and sized up the miners. He realized that it was indeed the case. The miners might have dull expressions, but their complexions weren't as pale as the plague patients.
Bai Xiaotian knew that he had met an expert, and he quickly bowed. "What Little High Duke said is true, but the other symptoms of the patients seem to be similar to the plague. For example, the pulse is heavy, and the tongue is dull …"
Patriarch Acheron waved his hand. "Don't talk to me about this. I'm not a doctor, and I don't know how to treat patients."
When these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
You're too much. If you're not a doctor, then what are you talking about? If you don't know how to treat patients, then what are you talking about?
Even Xiao Ying felt guilty. She pulled Patriarch Acheron's small hand and said, "Bai Xuan, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. They're already like this, so don't delay their treatment."
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Acheron said carelessly, "Although I've never studied medicine and don't know anything, I, this young master, can conclude that they're not the plague! Absolutely not! "
"Tsk, you yourself said that you don't know anything, so why are you still standing here talking nonsense?" The young man mocked again.
Another older man beside him said, "That's right. The female divine doctor from Qingqu Village said that it's the plague."
"If you don't know anything, then get lost!" The other men roared. This person was too infuriating. They were about to die, but he was still here talking nonsense.
However, Ye Kong believed that Patriarch Acheron would not make trouble out of nothing. Although he didn't know medicine, he had lived for more than 100,000 years. What situation had he not seen?
Therefore, Ye Kong said loudly, "Everyone, please listen to me. Everyone's condition is strange. Even if it's the female divine doctor, she can't do anything about it. It's better to listen to everyone's opinions. Whether it's reasonable or not, don't rush to a conclusion. It's not too late to comment after he's finished."
As the saying goes, desperate patients turn to any doctor they can find. When the men heard this, they nodded and felt that it was right, so they stopped talking.
The old doctor's words almost angered Patriarch Acheron to death. "Little Duke, since your father has spoken, then hurry up and say it. In fact, this old man is also hesitant to confirm that it's the plague."
"Can he be my father? Sigh, forget it. I can't explain it clearly to you. " Patriarch Acheron waved his hand helplessly and said, "Actually, these miners are not infected by the plague. They're infected by corpse poison!"
"Ah!" All the miners cried out in shock. Although they didn't understand what corpse poison was, it sounded even worse than the plague.
This time, even the old doctor, Bai Xiaotian, became cautious. He looked back at the miners and nodded. "I've heard of corpse poison before. It's caused by a zombie that has become a spirit attacking a patient. The patient is bitten and infected with the zombie poison. After a few days, the patient will also become muddled until he becomes a zombie."
"Ah!" All the miners cried out in shock again. When they thought about how they would become zombies in a few days, they were all dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a miner shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that! We've never seen any zombies or been bitten. Why would we get corpse poison? "
"Yeah? How do you explain this? " Bai Xiaotian didn't look at Patriarch Acheron because he also felt that it was corpse poison. He just lowered his head and pondered.
Patriarch Acheron continued, "They were indeed not bitten, and they might not have seen zombies before. However, they're infected with corpse poison. There's only one reason — someone deliberately poisoned them!"
