Chapter 351 (The following is a separate, unrelated chapter): A sudden illness on horseback
The Black City government office oversees a total of seventeen people, including sixteen soldiers and one officer. Although Old Wu was not officially appointed, he was essentially the second-in-command.
Yue Shan glanced at Lao Wu's room and a smirk appeared on his lips.
That evening, a woman screamed from Lao Wu's room.
The person who was awakened cursed and got up to go over, only to find Old Wu on top of the woman, while the woman screamed in pain below.
"Old Wu, are you that strong?" someone teased. "Even the young lady can't handle it."
"Yeah, hurry up, or we'll go in and then..."
"He's dead, dead..." the woman screamed. If she hadn't been unable to push him away, why would she have attracted him here?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but no one dared to step forward. They could only go and inform Yue Shan.
Yue Shan sent someone to find a doctor. Of course, he found the doctor from the Fengyun Gang. However, when he saw the doctor, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. What was the gang leader up to?
Yunyi winked at him, then stroked her fake beard and went inside, but quickly came out: "That sir is in critical condition and can't be saved."
(For what "wind-blown" means, please Google it yourself.)
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned strange, and they all thought, "Fifth Brother is old. How much medicine has he been taking?"
"Doctor..." The woman's voice inside the room sounded very weak, "Please save me, I can't get out of here, sob sob..." If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have rushed over.
Yunyi coughed slightly: "It's alright, just wait a moment, until...that thing softens, then it can come out." When the man was in a convulsion, his genitals were spasming violently, and forcibly pulling it out would basically result in mutual injury.
Yue Shan's lips twitched secretly. He thought to himself, "Seventh Master, your wife knows everything. What will happen then... never mind, I don't want to think about it."
The expressions on the faces of those around him became complicated. This was like a dead person... Oh dear, I can't take medicine anymore, it's too scary.
After a while, Yunyi felt it was about time and was about to go back into the house, but Yueshan stopped her and pointed at the two people: "You two go in and carry the person out."
The two constables dared not refuse and hurriedly went inside. They quickly carried Old Wu out. As for whether he would suffer any psychological trauma, that remains to be seen.
However, the woman inside fainted.
Yue Shan glanced at Yun Yi: "We'll have to trouble the doctor to go in and take a look."
Yunyi nodded and went inside. She found that the woman had fainted from fright. She was woken up with a needle. After waking up, the woman screamed and then her eyes rolled back as she was about to faint again, but Yunyi stopped her.
"If you get dizzy again, I won't be responsible for you anymore."
The woman pursed her lips, but managed to hold on.
“You have a gynecological problem,” Yunyi said again.
"Huh?" The woman's eyes widened in surprise, a hint of fear in them.
"You might not understand gynecological diseases, but I'm saying that a woman's private parts are sick, do you understand? If it's not treated, it could very well be life-threatening." Yunyi exaggerated a bit, but it wasn't really an exaggeration in this era. After all, if a woman continued to solicit clients, she would definitely get infected. If she solicited an unclean client, the chances of getting that kind of disease would greatly increase.
In Black City, there are many people carrying that virus.
"Miracle doctor, save me!" Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly sat up, only to find that she was naked. But she didn't care about being ashamed and hurriedly pulled off her clothes and put them on. She then kowtowed directly to Yun Yi on the bed.
Yun Yi smiled. This woman was quite perceptive; she didn't even need to say much. Then, feigning profundity, she stroked her fake mustache—oops, she pulled too hard and it came off. She quickly pressed it back onto her chin, thankfully the woman was kowtowing and didn't notice. "I can save you, but what can you give me in return?"
The woman was taken aback, then reached out to take off her clothes: "This is all the flesh and blood I have left, divine doctor..."
"Do you want to kill this old man with your filthy body?" Yunyi said, getting up to leave.
"Miracle doctor!" The woman rushed down and knelt on the ground, blocking Yunyi's way. "I'll do anything to save my life." She had actually been feeling unwell for a while, but the madam in the brothel didn't care. As long as she was alive, she had to entertain customers.
She also consulted the resident doctor in the building, but the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong either. He gave her some medicine to apply, which made her feel a little better immediately, but it relapsed after two days.
Now that this old man has figured it out so quickly, maybe he can cure it.
“Your illness isn’t difficult to treat,” Yunyi smiled. “It’s just that the medicinal materials needed are a bit of a hassle.” Actually, the current condition is only moderate erosion, which can be cured by washing with spiritual spring water twice, but spiritual spring water is rare in this world.
How much silver is needed?
"I don't need your money, I need you to do things for me, are you willing?"
"Do things?" The woman was taken aback. "But I'm just a lowly slave, what can I do?"
"Let's talk about whether you're willing or not first. As long as you work for me, I will definitely protect you in the future. At least I won't let you die easily, or even if I do let you die, I will let you die quickly and without suffering. After you die, I will let you be buried in peace."
"I am a prostitute at the Soft Fragrance Pavilion. Even if I am willing to work for the divine doctor, I will not be able to control my own destiny."
"It's asking if you're willing."
"I...I'm willing." The woman hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed to the ground. If she didn't agree, her illness would end up being extremely painful. After all, there were many women in the brothel who had contracted venereal disease, and in the end...their fates were too gruesome to bear, and they were sent to mass graves.
"Since you're willing, please introduce yourself first."
The woman was taken aback again. How dare someone who didn't even know who she was ask her to do things? But she didn't dare ask: "I am a girl from the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, my name is Chunqiao, I am twenty-two years old this year. I was originally from Jiangnan, from a wealthy family. Unfortunately, ten years ago, my family was robbed by bandits, and my sister and I were sold to Yangzhou. We ended up in the Soft Fragrance Pavilion. Because of my good looks, I was sent to the capital, but three years ago, I offended my mother and was sent to Black City..."
Yunyi nodded: "I will prepare the medicine for you. What I need you to do is gather information. You understand?"
"I understand." Chunqiao nodded hurriedly.
"Any news, especially from people of some status, that they all go to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion if they're looking for fun, you just need to keep an eye on them."
"Then who should we give the news to?"
"I will have people look for you, but each time they will use a code word. Once they match, they will give you a message, and before leaving, they will specify the code word for the next time..."
