Chapter 115: Chapter 115: I won’t even let you get away with skipping stones! Chapter 115: Chapter 115: I won’t even let you get away with skipping stones! “Constable Wei, Constable Wei, there’s been some improvement in my lady’s peculiar illness, there’s been an improvement, there’s hope for everyone.” Suddenly, a loud voice rang in the ears of the disgruntled Constable Wei, causing him to falter.
It took him a while to turn his head towards the old master who was so elated that he seemed almost on the verge of floating in happiness.
“Improvement? How is she improving?”
“Don’t you know? It was Miss Liu who gave us medicinal pills. She gave me four, saying that those with the most serious conditions should take them first. My lady was critically ill, so I gave her one.”
The old master looked stunned at their surprise.
“Didn’t Miss Liu give you any pills?”
Upon hearing the word ‘pills’, Old Master Gong’s eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed towards the old master.
“My friend, where are the pills? You have three left, don’t you? Give them to me, everyone in my family is on the verge of death.”
His desperation to snatch away the remaining three pills from the man shocked everyone else, leaving the old master totally stupefied.
“To hell with you, even if I throw my pills into water, I wouldn’t give you any!”
Coming to his senses, he shoved Old Master Gong away. Old friend indeed, who would be friends with him? Do friends always harm him ?
Furthermore, there are still many sick people in his house. How could four pills be enough? Give them to someone surnamed Gong? Did he look like a fool? The resentment inside him was still there.
“Steward, I heard that Old Master Chen’s daughter is critically ill. Give her a pill first.”
I originally thought that every household had received pills, but now it seems that only he had these four. Thank goodness he didn’t use them all at once.
“Yes, master, I’ll go now.”
The steward took a pill from his hand and turned to leave.
“Constable Wei, Miss Liu’s medicine is effective, our town is saved.” The old master turned to Constable Wei, saying.
Upon hearing his words, Constable Wei also heaved a heavy sigh of relief. At least they were saved.
Previously, the reason why the county magistrate sent him and his constables here was to prevent the situation from getting out of hand due to the peculiar illness. He would then be able to suppress it by force. Fortunately, the townsfolk were relatively mild and did not cause much trouble.
Now they have the life-saving medicine, he could finally exhale the breath held in his heart.
“Liuzi, go spread my word, tell everyone to be mindful and ensure Miss Liu’s safety. We absolutely cannot let the townsfolk hurt her.” He ordered the constable beside him.
The antidote has been produced, now is the most critical moment. He was afraid that in the rush to grab the medicine, commotion would erupt, pressuring Lin Caisang causing her to make a mistake.
“Alright, boss.” Liuzi accepted the order and went off to find someone.
“Constable Wei, I want to go and take a look.” The old master thought for a moment and followed Liuzi.
That was his pharmacy. It would be easier for him to calm the townsfolk down. Moreover, he is a resident of Hongling Town.
Old Master Gong, seeing him leave, also wanted to follow.
But before he could say anything, he was glared at by Constable Wei.
“Old Master Gong, where do you think you’re going? Do you think the troubles in Hongling Town aren’t enough? Behave and stay put for me!” Constable Wei said brusquely.
