"Father …"
Hearing the sobbing, the young man's face turned ghastly pale as he rushed into the room.
Su Yin got off the Donkey and followed closely behind him.
At the center of the room, an old man was lying on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut, and there was a group of men and women of all ages gathered around him, sobbing loudly.
"Father …"
Kneeling before the bed, the young man's tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.
He didn't think that he wouldn't even get to see his father for the last time after pleading with the Yunfeng Physicians!
Su Yin didn't step forward. Instead, he looked at the old man from afar.
The old man on the bed seemed to be in his fifties, and he had already stopped breathing. It seemed like he was too late!
Helpless, Zhang Xuan was just about to leave when a frown suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"No, that's not right. If he's really dead, his skin should be changing rapidly, not his appearance …"
As an expert painter, Zhang Xuan's ability to discern colors was far superior to that of an ordinary person. For example, while an ordinary person could only discern seven colors, Zhang Xuan could discern at least thirty-six colors.
As such, he could clearly tell that there was something different about the 'corpse' before him.
Under normal circumstances, once a person's blood circulation was cut off, their skin would turn green for a short period of time. However, the old man before him didn't seem to have changed at all. In fact, there was even a tinge of redness on his face.
Of course, he was still a distance away from the old man. He had to get closer to get a clearer look. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan walked over.
"Friend, I'll have to trouble you to come over. My father has already passed away, and he doesn't need any treatment anymore …"
Seeing Zhang Xuan walk over, the young man shook his head sadly and said, "Butler, pack ten silver taels for this young man as his consultation fee …"
Even though there was no treatment for him, he was still here to save his father, so he would remember this favor.
"There's no need for that!"
Su Yin waved his hand and walked over. "May I take a look at your father?"
"He's already dead, so what's there to see? Please don't disturb the old master's corpse! "the butler bellowed furiously upon seeing the young man walking over.
The faces of the sobbing crowd in the room also darkened.
The old man was already dead, and yet, he was still walking over.
"I appreciate your goodwill, but please return …"
The young man with the surname Yu waved his hand dejectedly.
"Since I'm here, I have to take a look before going back. Since it's already like this, it can't be worse than this!" Su Yin said.
The youth with the surname Yu frowned and finally sighed. "Please!"
"Young Master …"
"Yu Cang, what are you doing?"
"Your father is already in such a state. Do you still want others to blaspheme him?"
"Can't you let your father leave in peace?"
…
The butler and everyone else in the room immediately scolded him.
If it was Yunfeng Physicians, they would surely agree. But this person in front of them was too young. He was not even 20 years old. How could he know anything about medicine? He was obviously here to cause trouble!
Ignoring the hostile crowd, Su Yin walked up to the dead old man. He put his finger on his wrist and raised his eyebrows. "He's not dead yet!"
"Not dead?"
"How is this possible?"
The room immediately exploded.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the old man stopped breathing halfway through his words. How could he not die?
"There's still a pulse!" Su Yin explained.
The old man's pulse was too weak. Even a cultivator would find it difficult to detect it with their spiritual sense, let alone a doctor.
But Yu Cang was different. He cultivated the sense of touch. As long as he was in contact with someone, he could feel their condition.
Through contact, he already knew that although the old man looked dead with no heartbeat or pulse, his blood was still flowing. He wasn't completely dead yet.
As long as he treated him properly, he might be able to save him.
"Please treat him!"
The youth with the surname Yu, Yu Cang, bowed deeply.
Although he had his doubts, there might be a chance if Yu Cang said so.
"If you want me to treat him, I'll have to ask everyone to strictly follow my instructions. Don't slack off or refuse!" Su Yin looked around.
Everyone in the room looked at each other in disbelief.
"Alright!" Yu Cang nodded.
Seeing that he had agreed, Su Yin continued, "Now, I'll talk about the first thing. I'll have to trouble all the women and children in the room to leave!"
"This …"
Everyone frowned.
"Hurry up!" Yu Cang gritted his teeth and bellowed.
"Yes …" Even though he was unwilling, as the young master, he still had the right to speak. Soon, all the women and children in the room had left, leaving only a dozen men behind.
"Take off all of his clothes. Leave nothing behind!" Su Yin continued to instruct.
"What are you trying to do?" An old man couldn't take it anymore and asked.
Taking off all of his clothes was a huge blasphemy.
"Do you want to save him? If you do, then do as I say! "Su Yin waved his hand grandly.
Even though he didn't have any strength, there was an imposing aura between his brows that silenced everyone.
"I'll do it!"
Gritting his teeth, Yu Cang stepped forward and helped his father up. Then, he took off his clothes one by one.
Even though he felt that the other party's actions were ridiculous, he still did as he was told. Soon, he was completely naked, not even his underwear.
Walking around the bed, Su Yin instructed, "Go get a basin of water and a butcher's cleaver!"
Everyone was stunned once more. However, someone still walked out, and not too long later, he returned with a basin of water.
Grabbing the butcher's cleaver, Su Yin instructed, "Pour the water on him!"
"Pour?"
The person carrying the basin of water was stunned.
That was boiling water! Even a living person wouldn't be able to withstand it. To pour it on a dead man … What in the world was he trying to do? Was he really going to humiliate him before he would let it go?
They weren't the only ones who thought so. Even Yu Cang couldn't help but hesitate. "Can this … really save father?"
Su Yin looked at him impassively. "You can choose to believe me or not. If you don't believe me, I'll leave right away and not disturb you anymore!"
"This …"
A conflicted look appeared on Yu Cang's face. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and brought the basin of water over. "Let me do it … If there's any infamy, I'm willing to bear it alone!"
They had only met by chance, and if the other party wasn't trying to save his father, why would he go through so much trouble and be questioned by them?
Gritting his teeth, he splashed the basin of water on his father's' corpse '.
Tzzzzz!
Even a living person wouldn't be able to withstand boiling water, needless to say, a corpse. In just a moment, the latter's entire body turned red, as though he had been scalded.
Seeing a corpse being humiliated in such a manner, the faces of everyone in the room turned ashen.
However, before they could vent their anger, they saw the young man who instructed Yu Cang to do this. He walked over to the corpse with a butcher's cleaver and shaved the hair on the corpse's head.
Judging from his movements, it was as though he was shaving the hair of a pig.
"…"
The room fell silent. The rage in everyone's eyes could no longer be contained, and they were about to explode!
Scalding water, shaving with a butcher's cleaver … Are you trying to save someone?
Are you trying to cook a pig's head?
Note 1: Actually, humans only have red, blue, and green cones. The other colors they see are a mixture of the three primary colors. Many animals are able to see more colors than humans. For example, mantis shrimps can perceive 16 colors, and they can see ultraviolet rays with their naked eyes.
