Yu received this gesture with grace and acceptance.This kind of teaching method was almost unheard of in ancient times, let alone in today's materialistic and restless society. Xiao Yu’s dedication tr...Chapter 574: Refusing to Save a Dying Person!!

"Doctor Xiao, you’re back!"

In the morning, while Xiao Yu was seeing patients at Wan Sheng Hall, Jin Xianglin and his wife entered from outside, addressing Xiao Yu.

It turned out that during this Spring Festival holiday, Jin Xianglin and his wife did not return home nor went to Beijing. Due to Jin Xianglin's health condition, they were afraid something unexpected would happen, so they stayed at the top floor of the antique city all along.

Now Jin Xianglin had mostly recovered, though he still felt weak, there was no longer any major issue. Just now when they went for a stroll and passed by Wan Sheng Hall, seeing Xiao Yu seemed to be inside, they hurriedly came over.

"Mm, I’m back. How is General Jin’s recovery" Upon hearing the greeting, Xiao Yu looked up towards the entrance; upon spotting Jin Xianglin and his wife standing at the door, a smile appeared on his face as he said.

"Thank you, Doctor Xiao for your concern. It’s much better now, but I can’t walk for too long!" Jin Xianglin smiled after hearing Xiao Yu's words.

After Jin Xianglin finished speaking, he walked over to sit by Xiao Yu's consultation table; upon seeing him come over, Xiao Yu pointed his finger towards the pulse pillow in front of him.

Affected by Xiao Yu’s gesture, Jin Xianglin quickly put his hand on it. Xiao Yu then gently placed his own hand onto Jin Xianglin’s wrist; after a while, he pulled away and said with a smile: "General Jin is recovering well. If things continue like this, you’ll be completely healed in another month!"

"Yes! Uncle Dai also says so, telling me I can slightly move around when free time allows." After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Jin Xianglin nodded.

This time he was lucky. If it weren’t for Xiao Yu rushing over, who knows if he could have survived. With such severe injuries, to be able to recover this much in a mere half month, even he was very pleased.

"Mm, not bad! Slightly moving around is good; it’s beneficial for your health!" Xiao Yu nodded and said.

“Uncle Dai, thank you for taking care of us these days!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Jin Xianglin and his wife nodded and stood up to walk over to Uncle Dai's consultation table. They bowed respectfully as they thanked him.

It turned out that during the Chinese New Year period, Jin Xianglin and his wife also lived on the top floor of the Antique City. They specifically chose to live next door to Uncle Dai so they could easily find him when needed. Uncle Dai was always available at a moment's notice. Before he went to Wan Shengtang every day, he would first take Jin Xianglin’s pulse and only go downstairs after confirming that there were no health issues.

"Haha, you're too polite. I'm still living in your house and eating the food you prepare."

After observing Jin Xianglin and his wife, Uncle Dai waved his hand and chuckled lightly.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Xiao Yu stopped them. Jin Xianglin and his wife then chatted with Xiao Yu for a while at Wan Shengtang until Jin Xianglin felt a bit tired, at which point they left.

"Quickly, quickly! There's a clinic here!"

That afternoon, there were still no patients at Wan Shengtang. Xiao Hongyang started teaching Erxi and Yuan Chao some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Although Yuan Chao was already familiar with much of this information, he listened intently nonetheless. Meanwhile, Erxi took out a notebook to record what Xiao Hongyang was saying on the counter behind the drug cabinet. Just as Xiao Hongyang was speaking, loud noises suddenly erupted outside Wan Shengtang.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xiao Hongyang paused his lecture and looked towards the door. Xiao Yu and the others also directed their gazes toward the entrance of Wan Shengtang.

Moments later, someone opened the clinic’s front door from outside, allowing five or six people carrying a person to enter the premises.

The lead individual was a middle-aged man with a protruding belly. The others were also in their thirties, but they were all quite slender and none of them exceeded 170 cm in height.

"Doctor! Doctor! Please take a look at him quickly!"

Once inside Wan Shengtang, the group shouted toward Xiao Yu and his companions.

Hearing their cries, both Xiao Hongyang and Uncle Dai walked out to examine the person lying on the ground.

Xiao Yu, however, did not look at the patient but instead focused on the individuals carrying him. The moment they entered, he sensed a distinct earthy aura emanating from them, mixed with a faint presence of death. This reminded Xiao Yu of the people he and Wei Jun encountered in Central Southern Province.

At that time, since Xiao Yu was an ordinary person, all he felt was that those individuals were like mice; nothing more. But now Having accepted Zhong Kui’s legacy and become a practitioner of Qimen Dao (Eight Trigrams), he could clearly sense these things.

The earthy aura mixed with the faint presence of death emanated from each of them except for the middle-aged man with the protruding belly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu understood the origins of these few people. They were likely looters known as "摸金校尉" or "地鼠." Xiao Yu did not have any good feelings towards such individuals.

Xiao Yu's lack of goodwill was not due to falling into a trap set by them back then while he was with Wei Jun, but because these people were involved in grave robbing and desecrating tombs.

Knowing that these people were tomb raiders, Xiao Yu remained seated when he saw Xiao Hongyang and the old man approach.

The old man and Xiao Hongyang examined the patient before turning to look at Xiao Yu. Seeing him sitting in his chair with eyes closed as if they did not exist, the two couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

They were well aware of Xiao Yu's character; he was never one to stand idly by while someone was in distress. Although unsure why Xiao Yu acted this way, none of them called out to him.

The patient they had just seen exhibited signs of poisoning, but the exact type of poison remained unclear.

"When did the symptoms begin Did you notice any signs before falling ill Or perhaps what did you eat today" The old man inquired after observing the patient for a moment.

"Just now, it happened suddenly. As for food, we had the same meal as everyone else: boxed lunches!" A man around 160 cm tall with an ape-like face responded to the old man's question.

“Right, earlier when we were selling things, Xiao Si suddenly screamed and then turned like this!” Another bearded man recalled after his companion spoke up.

"What was he doing just before" The old man thought for a moment and asked further.

"Nothing at all. He was just standing there," the bearded man shook his head, still bewildered by Xiao Si's sudden change.

The old man frowned upon hearing this.

He could ascertain that the patient was indeed poisoned but couldn't identify what kind of poison it was or gain any valuable clues. As such, he found himself at a loss for how to proceed next!

"Alas, I am powerless. Quickly take him to the hospital! He must have been poisoned; perhaps they can find a solution!" After carefully examining this patient, Dai Lao was at a loss as to what poison he had contracted. Helplessly, he looked over at Xiao Yug and saw that he remained seated with his eyes closed. Shaking his head, Dai Lao turned to the companions of the patients.

Upon hearing Dai Lao's words, these people sighed but none of them dared delay; they picked up their comrades on the ground and left.

"Wait a moment!" Just as they reached the door, Xiao Hongyang called out.

Hearing his shout, everyone stopped and looked at him with confusion. Ignoring their puzzlement, Xiao Hongyang walked forward a few steps, crouched down to wipe the ground with his fingers, and smelled it.

But as soon as he put his finger under his nose, his brows furrowed tightly. He quickly withdrew his hand and stood up to approach this patient.

"Senior Dai, come take a look!" Seeing Xiao Hongyang's expression, Dai Lao was also puzzled but hurried over upon hearing him speak.

Once he reached Xiao Hongyang’s side, Dai Lao looked at him oddly. At that moment, Xiao Hongyang was holding the patient's wrist and wiping his fingers with alcohol-soaked cotton. When he saw Dai Lao approach, he raised the patient's hand up and said, "Senior Dai, what do you think this is"

Upon hearing Xiao Hongyang's words, Dai Lao immediately leaned forward to take a closer look. There was indeed a wound on the patient’s hand which Xiao Hongyang had cleaned off, revealing its appearance.

"This must be where something bit him!" Staring at the dark spot on the finger, Dai Lao nodded and said.

Indeed, this person's entire finger was blackened, clearly abnormal. And since he was already poisoned, his body exuded a wisp of black gas.

However, compared to other parts of his body, the darkness on his fingers was much deeper. Dai Lao looked at the dark finger and thought silently: Could this wound be where the poison originated

Suddenly, from the cleaned wound emerged a drop of black blood. Dai Lao also picked up some with his finger and smelled it under his nose. But as soon as he brought his hand to his nose, he quickly withdrew it with a frown, exclaiming: "Such intense toxicity!"

"The toxin must have entered through this wound. But we don't know what bit him," Dai Lao said after taking the patient's hand away from Xiao Hongyang.ned out to be the detoxifying grass he sought.Although obtaining this detoxifying grass was difficult for Xiao Yu, it hadn't taken him long after arriving here before he found it. Moreover, instead of...
