Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 517 The third step out of the predicament

Daoxiang was so frightened that her heart was pounding. This man in gray clothes didn't know how old he was. He had a plain face and nothing could be seen.

Daoxiang only felt that he was dangerous. When they first met, Daoxiang had this feeling, just like the little white rabbit seeing the wolf. Daoxiang's instinct drove Daoxiang to fear this man.

After the man in gray left, Daoxiang fell to the ground, her face pale with fear, and her clothes on her back were soaked.

She clenched her fists and trembled all over. Finally, she turned her head to look at Yu Qinghuan with a pale face: "Miss, what should we do next?"

The bed curtains fluttered gently, and a bare hand poked out from inside, followed by a clean face, clear and clear, and the more you taste it, the more delicious it becomes.

"Daoxiang, you're doing a great job. There's nothing you need to do next. If the doctor comes, just describe your grandma's symptoms. I won't be able to say anything then. You can control everything yourself."

Daoxiang said tremblingly: "But Miss...I..."

Yu Qinghuan put down the curtain and lay back again: "Don't worry, what you did just now was very good, believe in yourself. If you didn't do it well, there would be no way for the doctor to save grandma's life. Daoxiang, do you know what to do? ?”

Daoxiang bit her lower lip and nodded gently: "Slave, please don't worry."

After the man in gray had left for more than an hour, an old man came with a medicine box on his back, and the man in gray personally led the way.

The old man was a doctor. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Daoxiang wiping Mrs. Dong's sweat. He immediately stopped at the door and did not dare to move in.

Just because the old woman lying on the couch had rashes on her neck and face that had turned into pustules, and they were afraid that they would burst with just the slightest touch.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do!" The old man cupped his hands and prepared to leave with the medicine box on his back.

The man in gray frowned dissatisfied: "Why did you leave without even looking?"

The old man flicked his sleeves: "Aren't you trying to trick me? It's already like this. Whether it's smallpox or leprosy, I can't do anything about it. Please find someone else!"

"Are you still a doctor? How can you ignore death?" The man in gray was annoyed.

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You are a doctor, so you can't just ignore death? Why are you so unreasonable? If according to what you say, I am already old, and you still let me treat such a patient, then what? Did you deliberately murder me? Since I can’t be saved anyway, I won’t go into this muddy water. I’d rather save my life and save those who can be saved! Farewell!”

After the old man left, the man in gray didn't come near. He didn't stop for even a moment, and walked out of the small courtyard quickly.

Daoxiang took another deep breath - she was really scared.

Throughout the day, several doctors came, but when they saw the pustules on Grandma Dong's face, they all ran away in fear.

Seeing that the doctors did not dare to treat "Dong Sui" and the others, at night, the man in gray came again. This time he brought a bottle of medicine. He stood at the door and threw the bottle directly in front of Daoxiang: "Open the bottle." Put it on the lady's nose and let her smell it."

Daoxiang did not dare to disobey and did as he said.

The pungent smell made Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but frown. It turned out that it was a poison that could temporarily wake up a weak and comatose person, but the price was his life force.Yu Qinghuan held her breath and snorted softly, and then there was some faint movement.

"Madam, it's really the New Year. Look at you, you have survived the Xue family's family and this cold winter. Spring is about to bloom, but your body can't bear it anymore. It seems that you are old. God will take you."

"But if you die, your six-year-old brother will lose his protection. The Dong family will not recognize him or help him. He will definitely not be able to control those old servants at a young age. In the end, he will only end up with the family property lost and homeless. You Do you really want to do this?"

The bed curtains moved, and a weak cough came, followed by a voice even weaker than the cough: "Let him tell me what he wants. After all, I am his wife. If he comes in person, I am sure There will be nothing hidden.”

The man in gray clothes took out a face towel and covered his mouth: "Madam, how could I not know about your little thoughts? Don't you just want the second young master to come over and give him your illness? You have thought so much, Why didn't you think about your own situation? You don't have any leverage to negotiate terms, do you know that? If you can hand over the things your father brought from overseas, then we will let your brother live, otherwise, we will have to Go to Dong’s house and ask for it from him.”

"Dong Sui" on the bed seemed a little excited, and said as if gritting his teeth: "How dare you touch him! Even if I am a ghost, I will never let you go!"

The man in gray sneered: "Let it go or not. We'll wait until you become a ghost. Now I just ask you, do you want to tell me or not? At this point, aren't you willing to spit out those things that you have no ability to hold on to?" ?!”

"Dong Sui" was silent for a long time, and then coughed violently. Finally, she said in a hoarse voice: "I can't trust you! Nor can I trust anyone in the Xue family! If I give you everything, how can my brother and I survive? ?Do you think I’m really that stupid?”

The man in gray silently took a step back and stood outside the door. The wind was stronger there, and he felt more at ease.

After hearing what "Dong Sui" said, his expression was filled with excitement: "Do you really know the whereabouts of that thing?"

"Dong Sui" smiled, with a sad and decisive smile: "My father is my only adult descendant. He has passed away. How could I not know the whereabouts of those things. You want it, right? Yes, I will give it to you!" But I have conditions!"

The man in gray quickly asked: "What are the conditions?"

"Dong Sui" said: "I want to survive! I want to live well! If I die, my brother will not survive. I might as well die with my brother with my secret! But if you can save me, I I can leave that thing to you!”

The man in gray sarcastically said: "In the end, Madam is also doing it for herself. If I had known that Madam was so happy, I wouldn't have left Madam here to test Madam's will. I would have drained half of the blood. Madam was afraid of death. Didn't she say that? ?”

"Dong Sui" ignored his sarcasm: "Promise, or not?"

The man in gray said: "It's just the life of an ant. If there is anything we can't agree to, if Madam wants to live, then we will work hard to keep Madam alive."

"Dong Sui"'s voice couldn't help but trembled: "Huh! If I can't recognize your face clearly after all the hardships you have endured these days, then I will really live in a dog's belly."

The man in gray frowned: "What do you mean?!"

"Dong Sui" said: "What do I mean? What I mean is that my disease and Grandma Dong's disease must be cured, and my body must be restored! Otherwise, let's break up! That thing must be revived." I planted it immediately, but the cave where it is stored is very humid. I wonder if it can be postponed until next year? I'm afraid it will germinate after a spring rain! That's all I've said, you can decide for yourself."

The man in gray frowned more and more: "Madam seems different from before, she seems to have become smarter."
