Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

After a thorough examination, the extent of Liu Chuanlin's injuries was clear.

Di Renjie was relieved. He looked up and saw that Li Yuanfang looked nervous, so he smiled and comforted him, "Yuanfang, relax."

Although Young Master Liu's injuries are serious, they are not beyond saving.

"Ha, sir, it seems I was too nervous."

Li Yuanfang chuckled softly, relaxing from his tense state.

"Di Chun, bring me a needle."

Di Renjie looked at Liu Chuanlin again.

"My lord, everything is ready." Knowing that he was going to save Liu Chuanlin, how could Zhou Yi not prepare the silver needles that Di Renjie would use for acupuncture?

Taking the silver needles, Di Renjie inserted them very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had inserted them into several key acupoints on Liu Chuanlin's body.

His acupuncture skills seemed to possess an almost mystical quality, not only removing toxins but also helping Jili Khan expel snake venom.

It can also treat various other injuries.

Anyway, as long as you're not really dead, even if you've already stepped into the gates of hell, he can pull you back.

After a few injections, Liu Chuanlin's condition improved.

After the acupuncture, Di Renjie went to the table and began writing a prescription.

He then handed it to Zhou Yi: "Go back to the county town immediately and secretly get the medicine according to the prescription."

The medicine was prepared outside and then brought back.

Don't let anyone else know.

"I understand." Zhou Yi nodded solemnly as he took the prescription.

He then turned around and quietly left Liujiazhuang.

Li Yuanfang stepped forward, somewhat worried about Di Renjie's health: "My lord, should I bring Zhang Chun and Wang Wu back tomorrow?"

Once this young master Liu is cured...

We might learn the secret of Liu Family Village from his words.

And I think you're probably not planning to sleep tonight.

If we ask Zhang Chun and Wang Wu to come and identify Liu Da tomorrow.

Can you handle it?

I think we should postpone this and focus all our efforts on treating Young Master Liu first.

Di Renjie considered for a moment, then looked at Liu Chuanlin, who was severely injured on the bed.

He will likely be treating Liu Chuanlin for the next few days.

It's really impossible to get distracted.

Moreover, he is already over sixty years old, and his body may indeed not be able to withstand staying up all night.

So he nodded: "Well, in that case, let's postpone it for now."

……

Zhou Yi, carrying the prescription, quietly left Liu Family Village. Apart from Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, no one knew that he had left quietly.

He used his lightness skill to quickly return to the county town.

I went to a pharmacy.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock".

Disturbing my peaceful dreams late at night.

It's really not good.

"Who is it? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Inside the pharmacy, amidst grumbling and cursing, a sleepy-eyed person opened the door.

Then I saw the Book of Changes outside the door.

Who are you?

The man glanced at Zhou Yi, his face full of anger.

Zhou Yi didn't mind; it was indeed inappropriate to disturb someone so late at night.

He immediately took out a prescription: "I need the medicine on this prescription."

No, no.

Still seemingly angry that Zhou Yi had disturbed his peaceful sleep, the man pushed Zhou Yi away without even glancing at the prescription.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately reached into his robes and pulled out his identity document.

"Take a look at this first."

"What is this?" Out of curiosity, the man took the identity document and looked at it.

"Secretariat, proofreader?"

"A sixth-rank official?"

The man stared wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief.

"Can you get my medicine now?"

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine." The man smiled, but his expression was tinged with fear, as he handed the document to Zhou Yi.

He quickly took the prescription and began to prepare the medicine.

The medicine was prepared very quickly.

It must be said, this is the benefit of power.

Without an identity document, who cares who he is?

If you disturb others late at night and don't get beaten up, you're lucky.

Who will get your medicine?

"Here you go." Zhou Yi took the wrapped medicine and handed the silver to the man.

"My lord, how could I possibly accept your money?"

The man dared not reach out.

Zhou Yi placed the silver directly on the table.

They gave me more silver than I should have.

"Here's all the silver."

I also need your equipment for decocting medicine.

I'll bring the medicine back to you after I've finished brewing it.

Also, remember not to tell anyone about what happened tonight.

I'll be coming back to get my medicine from you in the next few days, okay?

"Yes, I know, I know."

Don't worry, I'm keeping it very secret.

They brought the prescription and the equipment for decocting the medicine.

Zhou Yi rushed back to the vicinity of Liujiazhuang late at night.

Normally, the city gates of the county town are not open late at night.

But what could he do? Zhou Yi was a member of the imperial guard.

He was following Di Renjie.

The door will not be opened in principle.

But now the I Ching is the principle.

When leaving the city gate, they also arranged for a horse-drawn carriage to be prepared.

Knowing that Zeng Tai was still an Imperial Guard at this time, Zhou Yi specifically told the guards at the city gate that no one was allowed to talk about what happened tonight.

Including Zeng Tai.

Knowing that Zhou Yi held a higher official position, those people naturally dared not disobey.

Outside Liu Family Village, Zhou Yi found a secluded spot to wait for the medicine to be decocted.

Only then did he quietly return to Di Renjie's room with the medicine.

Di Renjie's room was surrounded by imperial guards and the Thousand Bull Guards.

Ordinary people cannot get close to them.

When Zhou Yi returned, the oil lamp was still lit in the room.

Naturally, they weren't afraid of being discovered.

The Imperial Guards naturally couldn't talk about Di Renjie with anyone else.

"My lord, I'm back."

He carried the medicine inside.

Inside the room, Di Renjie was fast asleep.

Li Yuanfang stood guard from the side.

He was already in a light sleep, and the noise of Zhou Yi's return woke him up immediately.

He got up and rubbed his eyes.

Upon seeing the medicine that Zhou Yi had already prepared, he was overjoyed.

"Quickly, give it to Young Master Liu."

Yuanfang came to help.

"Yes, sir."

Li Yuanfang immediately stepped forward, helped Liu Chuanlin up, and let him lean against her chest.

Di Renjie and Zhou Yi administered medicine to Liu Chuanlin.

"Cough cough."

Liu Chuanlin, who was in a coma, appeared to have choked on the medication, which triggered his cough.

He coughed several times in succession.

It took quite a bit of effort to get the medicine down his throat.

Putting down the medicine pot in his hand, Di Renjie sighed and looked at the two of them: "Now it depends on whether Young Master Liu can make it through these next few days."

I think it shouldn't be a big problem.

"My lord, what about these next few days?" Zhou Yi asked thoughtfully.

The meaning is quite obvious.

Liu Chuanlin was in Di Renjie's room, in case anyone else came to visit Di Renjie.

Seeing the state of the room, this was not good.

Moreover, because of the need to take care of Liu Chuanlin, the room would inevitably be filled with the smell of medicine.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk these next few days."

Looks like these old bones of mine can finally rest for a few days and not have to worry about the case anymore.

Di Renjie stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

"Di Chun, these next few days, you should stay in the room and take good care of Young Master Liu."

Yuanfang and I will go out and deal with the rest of the people.

"Yes, sir."

He didn't care; taking care of Liu Chuanlin in the room wasn't a problem for him.

Di Renjie also considered that Zhou Yi's medical skills had become quite proficient under his tutelage.

That's why Zhou Yi was asked to take care of Liu Chuanlin.
