Chapter 458 Rescuing a Man
Thinking of this, the man secretly figured in his heart: Instead of waiting to die, it is better to make good use of the woman in front of him, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, just now, he clearly noticed that the woman's eyes were always on the jade pendant on his waist, and she was obviously quite interested in it.
In this case, although this jade pendant is of great significance to him, if he can use it to exchange for his own chance of survival at a critical moment of life and death, why not do it?
After all, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
"You want this jade on me?"
When Jiang Yaqi heard the man ask this question, she was startled and a look of discomfort appeared on her face.
Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about how to respond to this sudden question.
However, before she could open her mouth to speak, the man immediately said: "If you are really interested in this jade pendant on me."
"I might consider giving it to you."
"But you need to help me do two things."
His tone was calm and firm, as if he had already expected Jiang Yaqi to take action.
When Jiang Yaqi heard this, she was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still tried to remain calm.
She asked softly, "So, what do you want me to do for you? As long as you and I can do it, I will help you."
There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in her words.
The man under the silver mask smiled slightly and continued, "It's not that difficult, I just need you to find a remote and safe place for me."
"Please get me a skilled doctor to treat me.
"After the matter is completed, this jade pendant will belong to you, young lady, as a reward for your help."
After hearing this, Jiang Yaqi felt delighted.
I thought: It’s just a matter of finding him a place to live and hiring a doctor to treat his illness. It’s a simple matter.
What's more, after the task is completed, she will get a precious jade pendant as a reward.
It’s really great value for money!
So she agreed without hesitation and promised the man that she would definitely get the matter done.
Next, Jiang Yaqi fell into deep thought, and time seemed to stand still.
However, it wasn't long before an idea flashed through her intelligent mind as quickly as lightning.
Then a perfect plan came to my mind - find a suitable place to accommodate this mysterious man.
"Hey, sir, can you walk by yourself?"
Jiang Yaqi asked softly, with a hint of concern in her tone.
Her eyes fell on the man, and she saw beads of sweat as big as soybeans appearing on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.
The man leaned tightly against a thick tree trunk, seeming to have exhausted all his strength.
Although it is impossible to see his true face at this moment, from his slightly painful expression, one can guess that the man must be enduring tremendous suffering and torture at this moment.
Jiang Yaqi felt pity and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, sir! I will take you to a safe place."
"And invite a skilled doctor to treat your condition."
After saying that, she turned and walked forward, motioning the man to follow her.
Not long after, Jiang Yaqi led the man to where she currently lived.
Normally, no one would come into this woodshed, even Jiang Yaqi's brother Jiang Yuli rarely came here.
It was for this reason that Jiang Yaqi had the courage to hide the man in her own woodshed.
After she had properly settled the man, she waited for the right opportunity.
At this time, Jiang Yuli was busy setting up a stall on the street to make a living and had no time to take care of other things.
——Jiang Yaqi hurriedly ran to the clinic on the street, and after some twists and turns, she finally invited an old doctor with silver hair and a kind face to diagnose the man.
When the old doctor stepped into the small woodshed, his brows frowned slightly.
"You knew he was sick, so why did you leave him in the woodshed to recuperate?"
The old doctor didn't know what the relationship between Jiang Yaqi and the man in the woodshed was, and thought they were husband and wife, so he said one more word.
Hearing this, Jiang Yaqi glared at him fiercely, and a feeling of displeasure instantly surged in her heart.
Why is this old doctor so talkative?
However, at this moment, she still needed to rely on the old doctor to treat the man, so she did not dare to offend him easily.
Although she was very upset, Jiang Yaqi still suppressed her emotions and said, "You just need to concentrate on treating his condition, and don't interfere too much in other matters."
There was obvious dissatisfaction and helplessness in her words.
The old doctor noticed her change in attitude, just glanced at her indifferently, then shook his head gently and said no more.
After all, for him, treating patients and collecting consultation fees is his job.
As for other matters, they are indeed not something I should be concerned about.
Thinking of this, the old doctor turned and walked into the woodshed.
He slowly squatted down, put his fingers on the wrist of the man wearing the silver mask, and carefully took his pulse for diagnosis.
After a moment, with his years of medical experience, the old doctor had already seen through everything - the man in front of him was covered with numerous knife wounds all over his body.
It is precisely because these wounds were not treated promptly and properly that they became infected and inflamed, leading to symptoms such as persistent high fever.
Next, the old doctor looked at Jiang Yaqi and motioned for her to find writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Jiang Yaqi understood what he meant and ran to Jiang Yuli's room to get writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for the old doctor.
The old doctor picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and concentrated on writing a string of flamboyant handwriting on the paper.
After writing, the old doctor carefully blew dry the ink, then gently folded this precious prescription and handed it to Jiang Yaqi.
"Girl, take this prescription and go get the medicine."
Jiang Yaqi nodded and took the prescription.
Next, the old doctor asked Jiang Yaqi to fetch a basin of clean water while he treated the man's wound.
Use a dagger to scrape the pus off his wound and then sprinkle him with healing medicine.
While treating his wound, the old doctor scratched his wound several times and hurt it. The man opened his eyes in a daze and gave the doctor two knife cuts.
Although it had no lethality, the old doctor still felt the chill in his eyes and shuddered.
Whispered: "I'm saving you, please don't hurt my old bones."
The man slowly let down his guard when he knew that the old doctor was treating his wounds.
Let him continue to treat his wounds.
Half an hour later, the old doctor finally finished treating the man's wound with great trepidation.
He said a few more words to Jiang Yaqi, left two small bottles of golden wound medicine, and asked Jiang Yaqi to give him two taels of silver. Then he fled from the woodshed.
If he didn't escape, he was worried that the man would wake up and kill him.
