Invincible Iron Man 3, Veterinary Book Flag
The yamen immediately recorded the names of these medicines and then dispersed to fetch them for Wang An. The doctor was also getting anxious, thinking: "Being a doctor is indeed more difficult than being in trouble, if I can escape this time, I will definitely not be a doctor, but go back to my old business".
Wang An is now unconscious, his pulse extremely weak. The bailiff responsible for guarding Wang An is also very anxious, pacing back and forth around him. Before long, he sees the bailiff who went to buy medicine walking back, and immediately looks delighted, thinking: "Good, this time Wang An will be saved."
Those yamen brought the medicine in front of him and said, "Divine Doctor, we've searched all the pharmacies here, but only managed to buy about 35 flavors of medicine. There are still about 15 flavors that can't be bought." The yamen responsible for guarding Wang An's heart sank. But the Divine Doctor said, "Without those 15 flavors of medicine, we won't be able to cure Wang An. It's really worrisome." One of the yamen said, "Divine Doctor, you say it's worrisome, but why do you have a joyful expression?" The Divine Doctor quickly hid his smile and put on a mournful face, saying, "I'm not happy, I'm heartbroken."
The official continued to ask, "Divine Doctor, what should we do?" The divine doctor said, "Then let's treat the dead horse as a live one. I'm best at treating horses, no, I mean I'm best at handling situations like this. But I'll tell you, if we can't get all the medicine, and if he doesn't recover, don't blame me." The officials looked at each other, whispered to each other in private, "This doctor looks a bit unreliable, should we trust him?" Another official said, "We don't have any better options, let's just let him try. If it doesn't work out, we'll just shift the responsibility onto him and take him away." The other officials nodded in agreement, then loudly told the divine doctor, "Don't worry, be bold and rescue him! If anything goes wrong, we won't blame you."
The divine doctor started to rescue, decocted the medicine, and then brought it in front of Wang An, but found that Wang An had already closed his eyes tightly, unconscious, and unable to drink the medicine. The divine doctor sighed and said: "As the saying goes, 'medicine can cure illness', but now he can't even take the medicine, how can we cure the illness?" Wang An's body was gradually getting cooler, and the yamen runner was no longer in a hurry, watching the divine doctor with ease.
The divine doctor wanted to express some feelings to prove that this was not his responsibility, when a bailiff said: "Divine doctor, don't worry, because we're not in a hurry either. If something happens, you can just come with us." The divine doctor immediately trembled all over, thinking that it's true that ordinary people shouldn't fight against officials, these guys are unreasonable. The divine doctor gritted his teeth and pried open Wang An's mouth, then poured the medicine in, but after a while, there was no sign of improvement at all.
The official asked, "How come the divine doctor doesn't seem to be getting any better?" The divine doctor's face showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Illness comes like a mountain collapse, illness goes like pulling out silk threads, who gets better that quickly?" The officials looked at each other and said, "Then we'll wait here for a day. If there's no improvement by tomorrow, the divine doctor will have to come with us." The divine doctor's face suddenly turned pale.
The next day, a bailiff found that Wang An had woken up and was asking for food. The bailiff was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Come quickly, Wang An has woken up!" The bailiffs rushed over, all with joyful faces, put down their arrogance, and began to take care of Wang An, bringing him porridge. Wang An hadn't eaten for several days, so they were afraid that if they gave him dry food, he would eat too much and get indigestion.
Wang An ate 5 bowls of porridge and then stopped, because the yamen runners no longer dared to serve him porridge. After Wang An finished drinking the porridge, his spirit suddenly recovered. The yamen runners also breathed a sigh of relief, at which point one of them exclaimed in surprise: "Where's the divine doctor?" It turned out that they had been so focused on taking care of Wang An that they had forgotten about the existence of the divine doctor.
A sturdy young man said to them, "At dawn, the divine doctor slipped away quietly and headed south." A constable said, "Quickly chase after him! The divine doctor's medical skills are unmatched in the world. If we can invite him back to our Qingquan County, we will surely receive praise from the county magistrate!" Upon hearing this, the constables rushed to pursue him. Before long, they saw the suspicious figure ahead and immediately shouted loudly, "Divine doctor, stop!" The divine doctor was startled and ran even faster. The constable hastily shouted, "Divine doctor, slow down!" The divine doctor heard this and suddenly took off running. The constable hastily chased after him. The constable didn't know what was going on and hastily shouted, "Divine doctor, please follow me back to Qinghe County for a trip." The divine doctor heard this and immediately began to speed up.
The yamen runners soon returned, discussing among themselves: "Doctor Li is so old, yet his body is still so robust. Even we young people who often chase after criminals can't catch up to him." After escaping the yamen runners' pursuit, Doctor Li panted in the distance, thinking to himself: "Fortunately, I've often been chased by patients' families and have developed a good pair of legs. You think you can catch up to me? No way!"
The yamen runner said, "It doesn't matter that the divine doctor has left. Fortunately, Wang An has already been rescued, and we can also consider our task accomplished." After finishing speaking, they let out a sigh of relief. "Something's wrong, Wang An is going to kill himself!" The yamen runner was suddenly shocked and hurried over.
Wang An is now standing by the river, holding a stone in his arms, ready to jump into the water and end his life. The bailiff responsible for watching him is trying to dissuade him: "Wang An, don't be rash, your lover has betrayed you, you should think it over, there's no place without beautiful scenery." The bailiff himself feels a bit guilty, in this desolate and cold land of the Great Wall, on the border with the Xiongnu, where men are scarce, let alone women. The other bailiffs ask what happened, and that bailiff explains: "Wang An said he wanted to go to the river to wash his face, but when he got there, he found himself disfigured, his face twisted in pain, and on top of that, he's heartbroken because his lover betrayed him, so he wants to kill himself." The bailiffs are also getting anxious, trying to dissuade him: "Wang An, don't be rash, everything has a solution!" Wang An is very apathetic, showing no reaction, and now he's completely hopeless.
An official said, "It's better to let him die of illness. Now that he's been rescued, it's as if he hadn't been saved at all." The official also came forward to dissuade him, but to no avail. Wang An looked back at this world with nostalgia and thought to himself, "I have nothing left to cherish, so let me leave this world in peace."
The bailiffs were at their wit's end, but just then a sturdy man spoke up loudly to the bailiffs: "Gentlemen, if you let me go, I have a way to persuade him." The bailiff looked at this man, whose name was Li Li. He was five feet three inches tall and had a rough appearance with a foolish look on his face. The bailiff was also full of doubts, thinking that while he might be able to use force, using words would be useless. But they were desperate, so they thought "even a dead horse can be used as if it were alive", hoping for a miracle to happen.
Li Li had the shackles removed from his body and stepped forward. He began to dissuade Wang An, saying: "You cowardly rabbit, why don't you jump down? You're a timid and weak-willed person." The bailiff was startled and regretful in his heart, thinking that they had been deceived earlier. How could they have believed him? Is there anyone in the world who would persuade someone like this? Li Li said: "You think you're miserable, but can you be more miserable than me? My wife eloped with the wealthy Wang next door and bribed a notorious thief in prison to say that I was his accomplice. They arrested me and tortured me severely in the big prison. My wife sold all my property and married Wang. My father went to the court to plead for justice on my behalf, but was beaten to death by Li Kan. My mother was driven out of our home and wandered the streets, eventually starving to death." At this point, even the tough Li Li shed tears, and Wang An was also moved by his words.
Li Li wiped away his tears and said, "The day my mother died, I vowed to the heavens that I would never cry again. A man must have a sense of responsibility, he must have blood in his veins. As long as we still have breath, we must return with honor, kill all our enemies, and not seek death or indulge in self-pity. What kind of man is that?" Wang An was immediately moved by these words. He thought to himself that going to the border to be a soldier would indeed be a perilous journey, but it was also a place where one could achieve great things. As long as he still had breath, he couldn't let himself fall into despair. He wanted Tian Lingshan to pay the price, and he wanted Hu Yinyin to pay the price too.
From now on, Wang An was different from before. He used to be physically weak and mentally frail. At this moment, his body was still weak, but his heart had become incredibly strong.
Wang An and 400 strong men from Qingquan County were sent to Youyang Commandery. The officer in charge of counting was Bian Jiang, a thousand-man commander from Youyang Commandery, named Wu Ge. After finishing the count, he felt very satisfied and said to the officials from Qingquan County: "You have completed your task, you can leave." At this time, an official approached Wu Ge and said: "May I borrow a step to speak?" Wu Ge followed him to one side, and the official said: "Here is 100 taels of silver thread, please accept it, Lord Wu." Wu Ge immediately happily accepted it. His position was not high, his income was limited, and seeing 100 taels of silver thread was like a poor man seeing a huge sum of money. He said with a smile: "You are too polite, if there is anything you need, just say so, I will definitely help you." The official said: "This is a small token from our family, he hopes that a person named Wang An can die early. This Wang An is easy to recognize, his face was branded with an iron by our young master, and he is different from the other strong men." Wu Ge promised with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. It's easy to get rid of a soldier, he might die from illness, die in battle, or freeze to death due to not adapting to the climate..." After finishing speaking, both parties smiled knowingly at each other.
Wu Ge sent away the yamen runner, and soon another yamen runner arrived with 200 taels of silver thread, also hoping for Wang An's early death. Wu Ge said: "What has Wang An done to offend so many people? You all want him dead." The yamen runner replied: "I am a trusted aide of the Hu family, Miss hopes that Wang An will disappear from this world as soon as possible." Wu Ge said: "What has Wang An done to incur such wrath and resentment from heaven and man? Don't worry, in two months at most or one month at least, Wang An will disappear from this world."
