A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 193 An Old Friend Visits
Duan Rong frowned slightly, and before he could disperse his energy, he suddenly released his spiritual consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness passed through the door and the courtyard and immediately swept outside the door.

I saw Xiao Zongting standing outside the door carrying a bloodstained man on his back...

Duan Rong immediately dispersed his energy, shook his feet to shake off the little hedgehog on his feet, then walked quickly over and opened the door.

"Mr. Xiao! This is..."

Duan Rong looked at the blood-stained and foul-smelling man behind Xiao Zongting with confusion.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, give me a hand!" Xiao Zongting said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Rong immediately took the man over.

"Put him in the pavilion first! Use clean water to clean the wounds on his body."

Xiao Zongting stood at the door, without even seeing the door, he glanced at the pavilion in the courtyard, gave orders in a deep voice, and then turned and left.

Shen Ping's body was covered with ulcers and his wounds needed to be treated. However, there were female relatives in Xiao Zongting's courtyard, which was very inconvenient. So he thought of Duan Rong's place, which was secluded and spacious, and brought Shen Ping over.

Duan Rong was even more confused when he saw Xiao Zongting gave an order without any context and then turned and left. However, since Old Xiao had given the order, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

Duan Rong closed the door and placed the man on the stone table in the pavilion.

Only then did Duan Rong see the man's face covered in blood and with messy hair.

Despite this, Duan Rong's heart skipped a beat and he recognized this person.

This person is the evil doctor Shen Ping!
It wasn't that Duan Rong had a good memory, it was just that Shen Ping's appearance was too strange: his forehead was quite high, and on his thin face, he had a big fleshy nose...

To put it nicely, he is a strange person with a strange appearance. To put it bluntly, he is extremely ugly.

Duan Rong suddenly summed up the information he had received over the past few days and immediately understood what was going on with Shen Ping.

On the day when he, Ximen Kankan and Jiang Qingyu were in Huaying Tower, Xie Daohan went to find Fan Yuanhai in order to capture Shen Ping.

But obviously no useful information was dug out from Shen Ping. The case was completely at a dead end and all clues were in vain.

Only then did Shen Yanliu ask Tang Wanhong to go to the provincial capital to seek connections and hastily close the case.

The case had been closed, so Shen Ping naturally no longer had to be locked up in death row, so he was released.

Duan Rong took off Shen Ping's prison uniform and saw that his body was covered with wounds and the festering wounds frightened Duan Rong.

Many of the wounds had already turned black and ulcerated, and maggots were crawling in a few of them...

Duan Rong felt Shen Ping's breath and took his pulse. As soon as he felt Shen Ping's pulse, he knew that his Dantian was destroyed. However, even though Shen Ping was tortured like this, there was still a faint trace of life in his pulse.

Duan Rong looked at Shen Ping with a flickering look in his eyes and said, "This man is quite tenacious..."

Duan Rong then scooped clean water from the large water tank at the kitchen door with a wooden basin and used it to rinse Shen Ping's body.

Duan Rong washed all the festering wounds and blood stains, then wiped his body dry with a towel. Then he picked up Shen Ping's skinny body and put him on the bed in the inner room.

Duan Rong put Shen Ping on the bed and covered him with a blanket. He touched Shen Ping's forehead and found it was very hot. This man was obviously running a fever, and it seemed that he had been running a fever for several days.

Duan Rong had just put Shen Ping on the bed when there was another knock on the gate. Duan Rong opened the gate and Xiao Zongting led Gu Suxiu in.

Gu Suxiu saw Duan Rong and nodded slightly to him. Duan Rong also nodded in return.

Duan Rong led Gu Suxiu and Xiao Zongting into the inner room.

Gu Suxiu looked at Shen Ping, who was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, his body eroded, and running a high fever, and his face suddenly became very ugly. He carefully examined Shen Ping's wounds and felt his pulse. Gu Suxiu stood up, wrote a prescription and gave it to Duan Rong, saying, "Go get the medicine."

Duan Rong took the prescription, left the escort agency and went to the herbal medicine shop.

Duan Rong was walking on the road, looking at the prescription, but he shook his head slightly. How could this be a prescription for curing diseases? Isn't this a prescription for calming the mind and nourishing the body? Duan Rong thought about it for a while, and decided to remove one ingredient, Astragalus, and add one ingredient, Chuanxiong, making a slight change.

Duan Rong got three doses of medicine from the herbal medicine shop. One dose was according to Gu Suxiu's prescription, and the other two were prepared according to his own ideas.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu and first decocted the medicine according to Gu Suxiu's prescription.

In Liulu's kitchen, there were already ready-made kitchen utensils and medicine jars. Duan Rong found them, washed up, and began to boil the medicine.

Duan Rong finished decocting the medicine, drained it out, and came to the inner room holding a bowl of the medicine soup.

Gu Suzheng was seen using a piece of bamboo to scoop out some black ointment from the porcelain bottle in his hand and applying it on the most severely festering wound of Shen Ping.

After Gu Suxiu finished applying the medicine, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and straightened up. At this time, he took the medicine soup handed to him by Duan Rong, sniffed it, and then slowly poured the bowl of medicine soup to Shen Ping.

Gu Suxiu put down the empty bowl, his face still solemn. He picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and put it into Duan Rong's hand, saying, "Take the medicine soup once in the morning and once in the evening. Apply the medicine externally, and change it once a day. If the fever can go down within two days, there is still hope. Otherwise, there is nothing I can do."

Gu Suxiu said this, looked at Xiao Zongting and sighed.

Xiao Zongting also had a grim expression on his face. He glanced at Shen Ping lying on the bed. He knew in his heart that Shen Ping was so badly injured that whether he could survive or not depended on what he could do and fate.

Xiao Zongting personally saw Gu Suxiu off, and when he came back he gave Duan Rong some instructions.

"I have a lot of connections with this person, please take good care of him for me."

"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured! I will definitely do what you asked me to do."

Xiao Zongting nodded and said, "He is a man after all, and he is covered in wounds. It is not convenient for him to stay with me, so I can only leave him with you."

"Mr. Xiao, I understand." Duan Rong said.

Xiao Zongting was quite pleased to see that Duan Rong looked normal and had no grudge against the matter.

He looked at Shen Ping in front of the bed for a while, sighed, and left. In Xiao Zongting's opinion, Shen Ping was in great danger this time.

Not long after Xiao Zongting left, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he said, "My Liulu is quite lively today."

Duan Rong took a quick look with his spiritual sense and frowned. The person standing outside the courtyard gate was Hu Huanhuan, the head of Huaying Tower.

Duan Rong didn't know the relationship between Shen Ping and Hu Huanhuan, so he was quite surprised. He walked over quickly and opened the gate.

Hu Huanhuan stood outside the door with delicate makeup and a food box in her hand.

Duan Rong opened the gate. Hu Huanhuan smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, has it been a while since we last met?"

Duan Rong glanced at the food box in Hu Huanhuan's hand and said, "Master Hu is guarding Jinshan Mountain, how can he have time to visit my humble abode?"

Duan Rong really didn't know the purpose of Hu Huanhuan's visit. How could he have imagined that Shen Ping, who looked ugly and ferocious, was actually Hu Huanhuan's old lover.

Hu Huanhuan lowered her eyelids and said without hesitation: "I'll come to see Shen Ping."

Duan Rong looked at Hu Huanhuan with his head down, and his mind was spinning. He guessed what was going on immediately. He felt a little embarrassed, and smiled to smooth things over, "It is a great honor for Mr. Hu to be here. Mr. Hu, please come in."

Seeing Duan Rong's quick reaction, Hu Huanhuan smiled at him and entered Liulu.
