Chapter 152: Chapter 152. Heart’s Sickness Can Only be Cured With Heart Medicine
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The familiar feeling of suffocation and the sharp pain of a broken neck came. Qiu Yue’s hands grabbed in the air, desperately trying to seize the opportunity to save her life. Her two feet were suspended in the air, but her struggling movements became slower and slower, and finally, her hands fell powerlessly.
Qiu Yue’s eyes popped out of her eye sockets, and tears of blood dripped down her eyes. She died with unwillingness.
Su Qing had been watching Qiu Yue’s struggle coldly. She had promised old master Qiu that he would spare Qiu Yue’s life. She had also kept her promise to give Qiu Yue two chances but would not give her a third chance.
If she hadn’t happened to be watching the commotion outside Su Zhou today, Qiu Yue would have reported her. That was why Su Qing killed her without hesitation.
Su Qing walked over and picked up Qiu Yue’s hand. She felt her pulse and confirmed that she was dead before she put her arm down and walked out of the forest with a cold face.
Qiu Yongkang was still waiting outside the forest, his expression pained and complicated. His eyes were filled with reluctance and conflict, but most of all, he was determined.
“She’s already dead,”
…..
Su Qing said as he walked past Qiu Yongkang, then left.
She had promised Qiu Yongkang to leave Qiu Yue’s body intact, and she had kept her promise.
Qiu Yongkang’s adam’s apple bobbed, and he only managed to say two words after a long while, “Thank you!”
Su Qing looked at him indifferently and left. She had wasted too much time with Qiu Yue. She still had to go to the city to treat her proposed patient.
Qiu Yongkang walked into the forest and saw his sister’s body hanging on the tree. Tears flowed down from his eyes. He walked over and pulled Qiu Yue down from the tree. When he saw Qiu Yue’s eyes wide open, he touched her eyelids and muttered,
“Qiu Yue, don’t be so obsessed with love in your next life. Be a happy and carefree person!”
After Su Qing left the forest, she headed toward Su Zhou. She saw that there were even more people at the city gate. Everyone was drooling at the 500 taels of silver, wishing that they could become a hero and capture all three people in the portrait. That was 1500 taels of silver, enough to buy a house, land, and a wife.
Su Qing looked at it coldly and walked into the city. She realized that people from the armored Army had replaced the soldiers guarding the portrait.
If the people guarding here were from the iron armored Army, she wouldn’t have been able to take Qiu Yue away so easily. The most significant possibility was that they would have been captured. She could hide her face but not her female body. She would be exposed.
That was close!
Su Qing walked through the crowd and entered the city gate. Two guards stopped her.
“Stop; who are you? What arc you doing in the city?”
“Sir, I’m here to look for my family. This is my travel Pass.”
Su Qing handed her travel Pass and household registration to the guard. She mimicked a man’s voice to perfection.
“Family? What’s your relative’s name? What do they do in Su Zhou?”
The city guard took the travel Pass and household registration and checked them. After confirming that they were real, he continued to ask.
“My relative is working as a servant in old master Chu’s residence,” Su Qing replied unhurriedly. “I would like to get a job too.”
It was common for people to seek refuge with friends and family during the year of the disaster. The two soldiers returned the travel Pass and household registration to Su Qing without suspicion.
Su Qing successfully entered the city and immediately inquired about master Chu’s mansion. She wanted to treat master Chu’s illness, get two thousand taels of silver, and leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
As for finding the original owner’s family, she planned to wait until she had stabilized herself. Even if she found them now, she could not stay because she could not be at ease until she saw Xiaoying and the others safely arrive at Jingshi Dao.
Master Chu was very famous in Su province. Su Qing had only asked a peddler for his address.
She went to the address and handed master Qi’s letter of recommendation to master Chu’s doorman, then waited quietly outside the door.
After a short while, the doorman ran out and respectfully invited Su Qing in.
“Please come in, Sir.”
Su Qing followed the doorman into the Li family’s courtyard. The Li family’s yard had five entrances, and the high walls made it very quiet.
Along the way, he saw that the courtyard walls were planted with green bamboo, and the pond was filled with lotus flowers. Everything exuded elegance, and there was wealth in a low profile, unlike the foul taste of the rich.
After passing through a long gallery, the doorman led Su Qing to the main room in the middle courtyard and respectfully made a gesture of invitation. “Sir, please. My master is waiting for you in the room!”
Su Qing nodded and looked around the main room. There was a plaque hanging on the door that read ” Yi Xi Pavilion.” There were also two wooden couplets on both sides of the door. The first line read: The old dream is hard to warm, tears streaming down her cheeks; the second part read:Broken liver and intestines never return.
Su Qing furrowed his brows. The strange couplets seemed to be missing a relative who would never return.
She had no interest in the sickly moans of these scholars. She indifferently withdrew her gaze and stepped over the high threshold.
The interior of the room was decorated in an ancient style. As soon as she entered the room, she saw a carved dark sandalwood tea table. An old man in a black silk dress sat on the left side of the tea table. He was thin and had a sallow face. He looked like he was in a bad mood.
“Please have a seat, Sir.”
When he saw Su Qing enter the room, the old man gestured for him to sit down on the armchair on his right. He did not stand up. He placed his other hand on his knee, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Su Qing observed the old man’s expression and realized he was weak. He had only said a few words, but to him, it was as if he had just lifted a heavy burden.
Su Qing sniffed the old man’s body. He had a strong smell of medicine. This was a patient who was beyond cure. He should be master Chu, the one that master Qi had mentioned.
“Old master Chu, thank you.”
After saying this, Su Qing cupped her hands at the old man and sat down on the chair.
“Brother Qi strongly recommended you to me in his letter, and I’m fortunate enough to meet you.”
Master Chu panted as he spoke to Su Qing. Even though he did not believe this ordinary-looking man could cure his illness, he was still very polite to Su Qing due to his good upbringing.
The servants came in with tea and cakes. Master Chu smiled at Su Qing and said, “Sir, you must be tired from the long journey. Have a cup of tea and take a rest.”
As for the treatment, old master Chu did not believe that Su Qing could cure his chronic illness. He also did not think that there was a doctor in the world who could cure him.
A heart sickness could only be treated with heart medicine!
The old man’s eyes dimmed, and his heart ached. He put his hands on his knees to support himself so he wouldn’t fall.
Su Qing saw that master Chu’s body was trembling slightly. His sallow face suddenly turned red, and his breathing became shorter. His clothes were drenched in sweat, and he was on the verge of fainting.
The Butler quickly went over to support his old master. He consoled him with concern,
“Master, why don’t you lie down and let Mister treat you?”
“No need, give this gentleman two thousand taels of silver to thank him for coming here for this old man.”
Master Chu waved his hand weakly and instructed the Butler to bring Su Qing the money.
“Old master Chu, I won’t accept a reward without doing anything. If you don’t believe in my medical skills, forget it.”
Su Qing’s face darkened when she heard Master Chu’s words. She stood up and cupped his hands in farewell.
“Please wait, Sir. It’s not that I don’t trust your medical skills. It’s just that no medicine can cure this old man’s body. It’s already beyond cure.”
Old master Chu quickly called out to Su Qing. He was too anxious and spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he finished speaking. His face was as pale as a sheet of gold paper as he fell straight down..
