Chapter 189 Configuring the Antidote
Chapter 189 Configuring the Antidote
The victims brought back from the laboratory were in wards not far from Zhou Xiaowei's.
The little old man disappeared from the space, swaggered into their ward, and used soul-stealing to feed the antidote to them one by one.
Then he thought for a moment, sneaked into the attending physician's office, and placed a few antidotes on his desk.
As long as the attending physician is willing, the hospital will naturally be able to detect the medicinal ingredients of the antidote.
This medicine can cure all kinds of poisons. In the future, no matter if any patient in the hospital is poisoned, this antidote can save his life in an emergency.
Although the herbs used to make the antidote are expensive, human life is more valuable than the medicine.
It's only because the master's space has plenty of medicinal herbs and they are free of charge. Otherwise, even the rich people in this hospital might not be able to afford the herbs he prepared last night.
After the old man returned to the space, Zhou Xiaowei's attending physician had already left.
He was about to give Zhou Xiaowei an acupuncture treatment.
Jiang Nuan's internal energy is too weak, and she cannot master the Thirteen Deadly Needles, so the old man has to do it himself.
In order not to scare Zhou Yuru, the old man used soul-stealing magic to control her. Jiang Nuan gave her a glass of water with sedatives and let her sleep on the bed next to him.
This time, Zhou Xiaowei felt even more pain during the acupuncture.
I saw him clutching the bed sheet tightly with both hands, his fingers were white, his pale face was covered with sweat, and his clothes were wet.
Jiang Nuan stood beside the bed and wiped the sweat off her brother's face with a towel. Looking at the black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, her eyes darkened slightly.
"Old man, can you block his pain nerves?"
Seeing her brother gritting his teeth and holding on, she really couldn't bear it.
The old man shook his head, "No, blocking the pain nerves will stimulate the thirteen acupuncture points. Your brother's blood circulation will slow down, and the detoxification effect will be greatly reduced, which will cause the acupuncture cycle to be extended.
As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one. He is in great pain now, but the acupuncture period can be shortened, which will help him recover sooner.
Zhou Xiaowei's eyes were red, and his face was twisted and wrinkled in pain. He gritted his teeth and comforted, "Sister, don't worry, I can hold on.
This little bit of hardship is insignificant compared to the years I spent in the laboratory.
It was just over half an hour, and it passed quickly."
Jiang Nuan admired her brother's perseverance.
She was tortured in her previous life, at most she was disfigured, beaten, and stabbed...
But my younger brother was different. The venom was injected into every cell of his body. The pain was deep in his bone marrow, excruciating and heart-wrenching.
She held back the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, sniffed, and deliberately spoke to divert her brother's attention.
"It will be fine. The old man will definitely heal you and make sure you have a healthy body again.
My sister and your brother-in-law's wedding is scheduled for New Year's Day.
You must fully recover by then, and when your sister gets married, you must carry her on your back."
After listening to his sister's words, Zhou Xiaowei seemed to feel less pain in his body.
He forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, sister, I will carry you on my back to get married.
And sister, thank you."
"Being born from the same mother as you and having a kind and gentle sister like you is the greatest happiness in my life."
Jiang Nuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and said softly, "Sister is also very happy to have a brother like you.
Xiaowei, life is bitter at first but sweet later, there is a rainbow after the storm.
We will all be happy in the future.”
……
Compared to Jiang Nuan who felt happy after finding her family, Ye Lan was living the life that Jiang Nuan had lived in her previous life in Daliang Mountain.
Life is like hell, in dire straits.
She was either beaten or scolded by the old man.
When she came, she only had injuries on her face.
Now, she is covered with wounds.
The old man was a pervert, torturing her in different ways every day, using branches, carrots, and fire tongs...
Be as perverted as you can.
In just two months, she was tortured beyond recognition, with wounds of all sizes, new and old, all over her body.
There is not a single piece of good skin on my body.
For example, now, because the wounds on her body were so painful, she worked slowly and was whipped by the old man and thrown to the ground.
Seeing that Ye Lan was dawdling at her work, the old man became impatient and whipped her.
He roared, "You bitch! Haven't you eaten?"
"You're so slow at every job. If you keep going at this rate, you won't be able to finish the work in the fields by nightfall.
Hurry up and speed up, or I’ll beat you to death if you slack off again.”
Ye Lan's ugly face was covered in black, and he was wearing the cheapest coarse linen clothes that hadn't been washed for many days.
His hair was dry, dirty and messy, and he looked like a mad beggar.
She endured the pain in her body and knelt on the ground begging the old man, "Brother Hua, I really don't have the strength to do it anymore.
I have a fever and my head feels dizzy.
I have no strength left in my body.
Just let me rest for a while.
We can't finish the work in the fields today, so let's continue tomorrow.
I beg you, just let me rest for a while.
I haven't had any rest since I came to you. I'm so tired.
My body hurts again. I'm not trying to be lazy, but my body just can't take it anymore.
Could you please have some pity on me and let me sleep for a while?
I promise I will work hard tomorrow and make up for what I missed today."
It was true that she had a fever, but she wasn't exhausted yet.
This man has been guarding against her like a thief. She must find a chance to escape today while she has a fever.
The old man's name is Zhang Hua, and he is a notorious bully in Daliangshan Village.
He looked at Ye Lan's shaky body and said "Pooh" in annoyance.
"What a fucking hypocrite! He's so desperate just because he has a fever or a cold."
Although he had no mercy on Ye Lan, in order to have free labor for a long time, he did not intend to kill Ye Lan.
He walked over to Ye Lan and shortened the chain holding her, "Let's go, since you're almost dying, I'll spare you this once today.
If you keep dawdling while working next time, I’ll skin you alive.”
Ye Lan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and flattered him, "Thank you, Brother Hua. I'll work hard tomorrow after my fever subsides."
Ye Lan's face was ruined, and her smile was very creepy. Brother Hua said in disgust, "Don't laugh. Your smile is so ugly. I'm almost sickened by you."
The smile on Ye Lan's lips froze, and he clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.
She quickly lowered her head and said humbly, "Okay, I won't laugh."
She hated Zhang Hua very much.
Old beast!
Just wait for me, I will definitely escape.
I will pay you back a thousandfold for the pain you inflicted on me.
And Gu Jinyan! Jiang Nuan!
I will not let go of any of you who have harmed me.
Since the old man bought Ye Lan, he has tied a chain around her neck to prevent her from escaping.
I won't take it off for her even if I take her out to work.
After the two returned to the dilapidated earthen-walled house, Ye Lan pretended that she could not hold on and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the old man bent down, grabbed her collar, and threw her rudely onto the kang.
Then he started to make a fire and cook.
He thought that Ye Lan had fainted from illness and was still tied with chains. Without the key to unlock the chains, she would not be able to escape even if she wanted to.
40 minute later.
The old man cooked two dishes and a soup for himself. He didn't care whether Ye Lan, who was in a high fever and unconscious, lived or died. He turned his back to her and drank a little wine in a good mood.
Little did they know that Ye Lan beside the kang suddenly opened his eyes, a cruel look flashed in his cold and gloomy eyes, and a sharp piece of glass appeared in his hand.
She took advantage of the moment when Zhang Hua lowered his head to pick up some food, carefully stood up, quickly raised the glass fragment in her hand and swung it fiercely at the carotid artery in Zhang Hua's neck...
