Chapter 1153: Time is running out, slim hope (two chapters in one)
There is a very famous medical clinic in Shuanghe City, and many patients with difficult and complicated diseases come here to be treated at the medical clinic.
When Lin Li was wandering around the city today, he happened to pass by this medical clinic. The address he told the driver was exactly the address of that medical clinic.
The carriage was running fast on the road. The driver watched the passengers and knew that the passengers were in a hurry to go to the hospital, so he sent the passengers to their destination as quickly as possible.
Ten minutes later, the fast-running carriage stopped at the door of the hospital.
"Hello."
The coachman pulled the reins, stopped, and immediately shouted to the passengers.
“Sir, we’ve arrived.”
Lin Li got out of the car with Qin Muqing in his arms and said to the coachman, “Master, I will need the carriage later, please don’t leave now. Let's go."
"Okay." The driver nodded, then raised his right hand, pointed at a big tree on the roadside not far away, and said to Lin Li, "I'm there. Waiting for you under the tree.”
"Okay, thank you." Lin Li thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome, hurry up and take your wife to the medical center to find a doctor for treatment!" The coachman reminded him when he saw Qin Muqing's face was pale and her condition was very bad.
"..." Seeing the misunderstanding, Lin Li subconsciously wanted to explain. When the words came to his lips, he thought for a moment that there was no need to waste time explaining, so he took the time to enter the hospital.
The coachman looked back when he saw Lin Li entering the hospital. He then drove the carriage to park under a tree on the roadside not far away, and waited patiently for Lin Li to come out of the hospital.
…………
The sun was about to set in the sky, and the gorgeous sunset dyed the sky red.
The hospital is very busy and you can see all kinds of people.
Lin Li carried the pale Qin Muqing into the hospital. The receptionist at the counter saw the two of them and immediately greeted them.
"What's going on with this patient?"
"I don't know exactly what happened. She is unconscious now and her breathing is very weak." Lin Li replied.
Although the receptionist was not a doctor, he saw Qin Muqing's frail appearance and knew that the patient's condition was not good.
So, under the leadership of the other party, Lin Li quickly walked to a ward in the hospital.
The most famous medical hospital in Shuanghe City covers a large area and has many wards with very good environment.
Lin Li placed the unconscious Qin Muqing on the hospital bed. The receptionist said, "The doctor will be here soon. Please pay part of the deposit first."
"Yes." Lin Li nodded. First, if you pay before you see a doctor, you may be afraid that you won’t have money to pay for it after you see a doctor, so you have to collect it in advance.
After paying the money, the doctor happened to come to the ward.
Lin Li saw a doctor with gray hair and a gray robe coming into the ward and immediately made way.
"Doctor Wang, this patient is unconscious now and is in a very bad condition."
"I saw it. Now I want to diagnose her. Please be quiet." Wang Kui said Calmly, he began to diagnose the comatose Qin Muqing.
Lin Li stood aside and watched quietly. His mental perception detected that the doctor began to emit psychic energy fluctuations.
Wang Kui put his fingers on Qin Muqing's wrist, and a light golden light shone on his fingertips.
Half a minute later, Lin Li saw the doctor retracting his hand with a very solemn expression, and an unpleasant thought arose in his mind.
"Are you a family member of this patient?"
"Um...yes, why did she become like this?"
Lin Li didn't bother to explain and just followed the other person's direction. asked a question.
"This young lady is inherently deficient and doesn't have much time left." Wang Kui said shockingly.
“Huh?” Lin Li was shocked when he heard this and was stunned.
"Go back and prepare for the funeral!" Wang Kui sighed and shook his head, turned around and left.
"Doctor Wang, please wait a moment." Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Lin Li quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What else do you want?" Wang Kui asked.
"Are you sure the diagnosis was not wrong?" Lin Li said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff member responsible for receiving Lin Li said angrily, "This guest, Dr. Wang, has never made any mistakes. Please don't question him."
"It's okay." Wang Kui raised his hand and said nonchalantly.
After all, after practicing medicine for so many years, I have encountered many terminally ill patients.
He diagnosed the patient with the result that he was running out of time. Most of the patient's family members would have this reaction, which is normal.
"She has always been fine, but suddenly her time is running out. I can't accept it. Could you please give me another diagnosis? I will pay for it separately." Lin Li said with a frown.
"You..." The staff on the side felt that Lin Li was rude, and when he was about to speak again, Wang Kui spoke first.
"I can help you diagnose again. Forget the cost. It's not easy to make some money. You can keep it for yourself!"
"You still have to pay the money you have to pay. Doctor Wang, please diagnose me again," Lin Li said with a serious expression.
Then, Wang Kui used his powers as before to diagnose the unconscious Qin Muqing.
After half a minute, the superpower was lifted.
"How is the situation?" Lin Li asked anxiously when he saw that the other party's diagnosis was finished.
“Still the same result.” Wang Kui replied regretfully.
"She has never had this kind of problem before, how could it become like this?" Lin Li said disappointedly after receiving the same reply.
“This kind of congenital deficiency does not appear suddenly. It is present in the mother’s womb. She will get sick every once in a while after birth.” Wang Kui explained.
It seems that Qin Muqing hid his illness from me before. If I hadn't met him today, he would have been kept in the dark... After hearing what the other party said, Lin Li immediately understood what he meant.
Wang Kui said again, "It's a miracle that this young lady can live for so long. Please forgive me and accept her."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lin Li stretched out his hand to stop the other party again. Seeing this, Wang Kui said helplessly, "She doesn't have much time left, and I can't do anything about it."
"There really is nothing I can do about it. No?" Lin Li asked seriously.
"..." Wang Kui was silent for more than ten seconds, and then slowly said, "There is a way, but treating the symptoms rather than the root cause can only temporarily prolong her life."
Lin Li heard that there was a way. , I feel happy, although it is not a complete cure, but it is better than being helpless.
"What can I do?"
"I have a prescription that can extend her life, but some of the things needed in the prescription are difficult to obtain and ordinary people can't do it." Wang Kui said on the side He said while shaking his head.
Some patients in similar situations he had encountered before came to mind. When this prescription was given, the patient's family members suddenly became more desperate when they saw what they needed.
Lin Li felt that it was a good thing to have hope, and asked the other party to write down the prescription.
Wang Kui asked someone to bring paper and pen and quickly write out the prescription, highlighting the two most important things. "Chibiguo?" Lin Li reached out to take the prescription and browsed through it quickly. When he saw the two items highlighted by Wang Kui, he felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw one of them.
"Other things on the prescription can be bought for a little more money, only Chibiguo and Xuanlingcao." Wang Kui raised his hand and licked his beard.
With a thought in his mind, Lin Li took out a palm-sized brocade box from the mysterious island.
Wang Kui was a little surprised when he saw this. He originally thought Lin Li was just an ordinary person.
Now that I see the other party displaying this method, I immediately know that this young man is a practitioner, and he is also a practitioner who has awakened the relatively rare storage space power.
"Is this a Chibi fruit?" Lin Li opened the brocade box, and found an egg-sized fruit with red and green stripes on its surface. From time to time, Wang Kui saw the spiritual fruit that flashed through.
"Eh?!!!" Wang Kui was surprised when he saw something appear out of thin air in Lin Li's hand just now.
Because he had seen practitioners who had awakened the power of the storage space, and now that he saw Chibi Guo, he was immediately shocked.
This kind of spiritual fruit is extremely rare. He had only seen it more than 20 years ago, at an auction.
There were many bidders at the time, and it was finally won by a powerful and mysterious buyer.
Since then, Wang Kui has never met Chibi Guo again.
“You actually have Chibi Fruit, where did it come from?”
The process of obtaining Chibi Fruit came to Lin Li’s mind. He did not say that he got it from a strange beast, but said casually, "I bought it from a down-and-out businessman by chance."
Wang Kui said with envy, "You are so lucky to be able to buy this thing from a down-and-out businessman..."
Lin Li asked again, "Is this the Chibi fruit needed for the prescription?"< br>
"Yes." Wang Kui nodded.
"Can you please tell me where to get the Xuanling Grass?" Lin Li asked.
Now that we have one of the two most important things, we have to hurry up and get the other one.
"I don't know about this. If you want clues, you can go to Bai's Pharmacy. Shopkeeper Bai is well-informed and should have clues about Xuan Ling Cao." Wang Kui shook his head and then made a recommendation.
What a coincidence... Lin Li had a good chat with Bai Jingting not long ago, but he didn't expect to ask him for help for the problems he encountered now.
"Thank you." Lin Li thanked Wang Kui.
"You're welcome, this lady should have less than seven days left, so hurry up!" Wang Kui waved his hand, then turned and left.
Subsequently, Lin Li told the staff who received him to arrange for someone to take good care of the unconscious Qin Muqing, and then left the hospital.
…………
Only half of the sun’s face is left in the sky, and it won’t be long before it sets completely.
Under the big tree on the roadside, the driver was a little hungry. He took out a piece of cake from his backpack, took a few bites, and then turned on the kettle.
Lin Li hurriedly came out of the medical clinic and walked towards the carriage parked under the tree in the distance.
The coachman drank the water and swallowed the food in his mouth. When he saw the guest coming from a distance, he immediately put away the things in his hands.
"Master, please take me to Bai's Pharmacy..."
Lin Li got into the car and gave the address.
"Okay." The coachman responded, then swung the reins and quickly headed to the destination.
The scenery on the street flashed quickly. Lin Li leaned in front of the car window, staring at the passers-by on the street, his thoughts diverging.
“There are less than seven days left, I hope it’s too late, otherwise...sigh.”
The road was very smooth, and the carriage reached its destination in the fastest time.
Lin Li got off the carriage, paid the fare, and then said the same thing as before.
The coachman nodded and went to the tree on the side of the road again, waiting for Lin Li to come out of the medicine shop.
"Hello, Mr. Lin." The sun was about to set and the drug store was about to close. An employee who knew Lin Li was sweeping the floor with a broom. When he saw Lin Li arriving, he immediately greeted him.
"Excuse me, is shopkeeper Bai in the store?" Lin Li asked.
"Yes, it's a coincidence that you came here. If you had been a few minutes later, Shopkeeper Bai would have left and gone home." The pharmacy employee said with a smile.
"Please take me to see him, I have something to ask him about." Lin Li said.
"Okay, please follow me." The pharmacy employee replied, and then led Lin Li to the second floor of the pharmacy.
As soon as the two people arrived on the second floor, they saw a familiar figure walking from a distance.
Bai Jingting looked at Lin Li in surprise. He noticed that Lin Li's expression was a little serious.
"Brother Lin, why are you here?"
"Shopkeeper Bai, do you know about Xuanling Grass?" Lin Li wanted to seize the time to obtain Xuanling Grass, so he asked straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"I know Xuanling grass, do you need it?" Bai Jingting asked.
"Yes, I have a friend who is running out of time. Now he needs..." Lin Li explained the matter.
After hearing this, Bai Jingting's expression became solemn. He opened a drug store, and many patients came to buy medicine. For patients with such congenital deficiencies, the final results are the same without exception.
"Brother Lin, Xuanling grass is as rare as Chibi fruit. There is no Xuanling grass in my store, but I have clues about Xuanling grass, that is, that place is very dangerous."
Lin Li nodded, " It doesn't matter. Please tell me the clues to the Xuanling grass. Just tell me how much it costs."
Bai Jingting said seriously, "This is not a matter of money. Even if you can find the Xuanling grass, Brother Lin, you That friend can only extend her life for a while, and taking such a big risk, I suggest you forget it..."
Lin Li said decisively, "She is my friend, and I can't help but die. , As long as there is hope, I will work hard to fight for it."
"Alas..." Bai Jingting sighed when he saw that Lin Li's attitude had not changed at all, and then informed him of the clues to the Xuanling Grass.
"Thank you." Lin Li thanked him after getting the clue about the Xuanling Grass.
"That place is extremely dangerous. Brother Lin, you have to think twice!"
"Don't worry, if I encounter danger, I will evacuate in time."
Lin Licong When I came out of the medicine shop, the sun in the sky had already set.
The psychic street lights on the roadside light up, emitting bright light to illuminate passing vehicles and pedestrians.
The Hengduan Mountains are located to the north of Shuanghe City and cover an extremely wide area. There are countless strange beasts just outside.
Xuanling grass grows in a swamp deep in the Hengduan Mountains. It is very dangerous to reach to pick Xuanling grass.
Lin Li stared at a street lamp across the street, thoughts swirling in his mind.
Now that he roughly knows the location of the Xuanling Grass, it is still unknown whether he will be able to reach his destination, find the Xuanling Grass and return safely.
“Don’t think so much for the time being. The boat will go straight to the bridge. I will leave early tomorrow for the Hengduan Mountains...”
