Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 142 Jiang Yuyan, who always repays kindness, seeks medical help from a divine doctor.

"Her heart is filled with pent-up emotions, her liver fire is excessive, her kidneys are weak and disordered, and her spleen and stomach are not functioning properly. The illness originates from the five internal organs, and she is also affected by external pathogens. In her condition, without medical help or medicine, she can only hold on for three more days."

Wei Wu shook his sleeves and drew a conclusion.

Su Ying nodded and said, "This gentleman's medical skills are superb. May I ask your name?"

"Wei Wu," Wei Wu had just given his name when the girl grabbed his leg.

The girl cried and pleaded, "You two kind people, please help my mother to the very end, please help my mother to the very end—please save my mother!"

'

Su Ying stepped forward and carefully examined the woman, pressing on the parts corresponding to her internal organs. She stood up with some regret and said, "Medicine can't cure all diseases. If it were just a simple illness, a few doses of medicine would have been enough to cure your mother. Unfortunately, your mother's health is severely compromised, and she also has some old injuries from her childhood. Even the mildest medicine would be poisonous to her. Unless there are rare and precious herbs to prolong her life, medicine is unlikely to be able to cure her."

"More or less," Wei Wu said without actually touching her, but his eyesight was far superior to Su Ying's. Just by looking at the woman's emaciated appearance, he knew that she was beyond saving and that ordinary medicine would definitely not be able to save her.

The girl cried even harder, but this didn't bother Wei Wu. She released him, hugged the woman tightly, pressed her cheek against the woman's forehead, and cried out in heart-wrenching sobs, "Mother!"

This girl is interesting.

Wei Wu could not save the woman with medicine, but whether it was martial arts or a handful of water from a secluded paradise, he could keep her alive.

However, since they were not related, he was too lazy to bleed to save her. If it weren't for the girl's pure appearance, he might not have said so much.

Su Ying sighed as she watched this scene. She took out a paper packet from her belt, opened it, took out a small pill, put the packet away, squatted down, and handed it to the girl, saying, "This Hundred Herbs Pill can extend your mother's life by three days, but she cannot overwork herself during these three days, and you must get the medicine as soon as possible, otherwise even a god cannot save her after three days."

"Thank you, thank you," the girl quickly took the small pill and put it into the woman's mouth. Seeing that she swallowed it and her breathing became much easier, the girl quickly put her mother aside and knelt down to kowtow to Su Ying.

Su Ying reached out and helped the girl up, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes. "Don't waste any more time, go and buy medicine for your mother."

The girl looked embarrassed as she stared awkwardly at the gong on the ground. Since she had only been performing and hadn't had a chance to call out her wares, there weren't many coins in the gong.

With this little money, we can't even afford food and drink, let alone medicine.

Ding bang!

A silver ingot was smashed into the gong.

The girl and Su Ying both looked at Wei Wu.

Wei Wu said indifferently, "Why are you looking at me like that? I did listen to this young lady's advice, and it was pleasant to hear and see. What's a little money?"

His gaze lingered on the girl's face, immediately making her blush.

The young girl blushed, but her bright eyes remained unblinking. She first looked at Wei Wu, then at Su Ying, before kneeling down and kowtowing to them, saying, "I am Jiang Yuyan, and I have received immense kindness from you two today. Even if I cannot repay you in this life, I will serve you like a cow or a horse in the next! I wish you both a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster—"

This time, Su Ying did not help Jiang Yuyan up. She accepted the kowtow without hesitation, then smiled freely and said, "I'm just doing some good deeds to accumulate good karma."

A flicker of sadness crossed her eyes, but her gaze hardened again as she looked at Wei Wu, cupping her hands in a respectful gesture. "Brother Wei, your medical skills are superb. Would you be willing to treat one of my patients?"

After Wei Wu confirmed that Jiang Yuyan was the Jiang Yuyan he was thinking of, a fun idea popped into his head. However, before he could put it into practice, he was distracted by Su Ying's words.

However, she praised my medical skills as superb!

Wei Wu was pleased with Su Ying's address. He glanced around and decided which "side quest" to pursue. He smiled at Su Ying and said, "Doctor Su, you flatter me. I would be more than happy to exchange medical knowledge with you."

Let's go with Su Ying first. Anyway, Jiang Yuyan has medicine and money now. This is a female-oriented version of martial arts, so what could possibly happen?

Jiang Yuyan watched Wei Wu's figure disappear from sight, then quickly wiped away her tears, hugged her mother Xiaobaiyan tightly, and said excitedly and happily, "Mother, your illness can be cured! I'll go buy you medicine right away."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the silver from the gong.

But a foot stepped on the silver ingot before her hand could reach it. "Hey, what a lucky day! I got a free silver ingot!"

Su Ying didn't take Wei Wu far; she only went around one street before finding a carriage.

The coachman was strange.

He was said to be a monk, but half of his hair was long and flowing; he was said to be a Taoist priest, but half of his hair was gleaming. The contrast between the two was quite strange.

The coachman, also looking resentful, glared at Su Ying and said, "You said you were going to take a look around and see if there were any new medicines in the pharmacies, why have you been wandering around for so long?"

Then, noticing Wei Wu behind her, her resentment deepened: "Is this the medicine you brought back?"

Su Ying smirked and said, "This is the doctor I invited back."

"A doctor? Ha," the half-monk chuckled, his resentment deepening. "Besides your father, the Ghost Doctor Chang Baicao, and your mother, the Poison Queen Su Rushi, your medical skills are the highest in the world. And you're just a bald, greenhorn. Do you think you can handle it?"

-

Wei Wu glanced at the half-monk's hair and said decisively, "You've been poisoned. The poison is strong, and the medicine is even stronger, which is why half of your hair is as thick as a dense forest, while the other half is completely barren."

The monk sneered, "So what if it is?"

"I can cure it."

"Divine doctor, save me!" The monk jumped off the carriage and rushed to Wei Wu's side. In just two steps, he was already crying his eyes out.

"This medicine is from Chang Baicao, and the poison is from Su Rushi. It torments me to the point where I wish I were dead!"

Wei Wu named seven poisonous insects in a row, leaving the monk speechless.

"This...this all looks like poison!"

"Fight poison with poison; use it or not, it's up to you."

Wei Wu then stopped paying attention to the monks.

Su Ying also invited him to get into the carriage.

The carriage was spacious enough that a bed was placed vertically inside, on which lay a woman in red with half black and half white hair.

Su Ying introduced, "This is my mother, Su Rushi. However, she has been poisoned by water lilies," and is in a constant state of drowsiness, with her awakening periods becoming shorter and shorter. Now, she can only be awake for one hour each day.

Upon hearing about such a poisonous substance, Wei Wu's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Is there any more of this water lily poison?"

'

"This... I don't know either. If my mother wakes up, perhaps I can ask her."

"Okay, I'll wake her up right away."
