Chapter 16 Undercurrent
Jiang Wei asked Wang Shang to be invited into the house and served tea and cakes.
Wang Shang slightly raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused as to what kind of trick the young master of the Hou Mansion was trying to play.
He calmly suppressed his probing look and acted very obedient and honest, even cowardly.
"W-what do you want to do?" Wang Shang's voice trembled, as if he was scared, but his face was expressionless and his skin was tight.
Wang Shang muttered in a low voice: "At worst, I won't charge you for the consultation fee." He looked very cowardly.
"Can't you just call me unlucky?"
He even complained in a very low voice, as quiet as a mosquito: "I traveled so far to see a doctor in the middle of the night, and ended up encountering something like this. I'm so unlucky."
Jiang Wei stared at the person for a while.
Wang Shang licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and kept silent as if he was afraid.
With his appearance like this, even if he said he came from the Nanfeng Pavilion, some people would believe him.
Jiang Wei frowned slightly, could this man really be a doctor who is about to reach the age of knowing his destiny?
Why doesn't he believe it so much?
After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jiang Wei adjusted his expression and rubbed his fingers in a pretentious manner.
He coughed lightly: "Dr. Wang, you just said that my kidney yang is difficult to replenish, do you mean... that it may not work in that regard?"
Wang Shang: You are Lao Wang!
Jiang Wei seemed angry, worried and unable to speak, but it seemed as if he really had a hidden illness.
Wang Shang's face was dull for a moment, but he soon relaxed and began to talk confidently: "It won't happen if you don't lift it. At most, after frequent operations, it is easy to lose your ability, so it is better to exercise moderation and don't act indulgently."
He glanced at the person, and there was a hint that he was done.
Jiang Wei tried his best to play the role of the patient and did not hear the underlying meaning of these words.
"Can it be cured? Is it easy to cure? Dr. Wang, can you cure it?"
"..."
When Wang Shang came out of Jiang Wei's house, he felt that his face was almost numb with a forced smile.
I don’t know what kind of convulsion this kid had, but he looked like he was going to peel off his skin and cramp up, so he tapped his acupuncture points and took him home. In the end... they just talked for almost an hour about how to replenish the kidneys and strengthen yang.
It's almost dawn as we chat.
He felt that he had made nonsense of all the folk remedies he had heard throughout his life.
Wang Shangchang exhaled for a few breaths. As he approached the county seat, he looked around and pulled off the fake skin on his face when no one was paying attention, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
He rubbed the fake face in his hands a few times, quickly rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into the silver-embedded hollow grape flower and bird pattern sachet worn around his waist.
When the sky got dark, he ducked and blended into the queue of people waiting for the door to open at the city gate.
There was a big fair in the county town today, and the villagers were very enthusiastic about going to the city, not just to cooperate with Jiang Wei and watch the excitement.
Jiang Anning had an uneasy sleep at night. She vaguely heard voices coming from Aunt Fang's house, and then she remembered that there was a fair to catch up with today.
Her vision suddenly became clear. She turned over and got off the kang, washed and changed hastily, tied up her hair, and added an extra bolt to the front door.
Go around to the backyard, quietly go out through the small door, avoid the main road in the village, and set off towards the county seat.
As she walked quickly all the way to the county town, Jiang Anning didn't even break out a sweat, which surprised herself.
My physical strength seems much better today.
How strange.
Seeing that the sky was gradually turning white and a long queue had formed at the city gate, Jiang Anning suppressed the doubts in her heart and walked quickly towards the queue.
Wang Shang slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the little girl who was following the team with a delicate little face and slightly lowered eyebrows.
This girl is becoming more and more intelligent.
I don’t know what happened in front of me, but the crowd suddenly started pushing and shoving.
"Careful!"
Jiang Anning reached out almost instinctively and grabbed Wang Shang's sleeve.
Wang Shang, who almost fell, stumbled slightly due to the strength of the man's hand, and staggered to his feet: "Thank you!"
A man's voice is like a clear spring after the rain, clear, sweet, and sultry.
This was not the first time Jiang Anning heard such a sound, but she was not sure whether the previous one was a real one or a god she met in a nightmare. "Who are you? Have we met?
She looked up at the man who had almost fallen and was supported by her subconsciously.
Very unfamiliar appearance.
She was sure that she had never seen this face in her two lifetimes.
But this voice...
It had appeared deep in her memory.
Before I could ask any doubts, the words began to float in front of my eyes one after another.
【Oh haha, it’s finally on air again】
【Eh? This female native got up so early]
【What's going on? I haven’t watched it all night, why did old Dr. Wang turn into little Dr. Wang? Tsk, so tender]
[This face looks different from the one yesterday. Did I remember it wrong? How strange】
Dr. Wang...
Jiang Anning looked into Wang Shang's eyes, and her eyes gradually filled with surprise.
Are you Wang Shang?
When she reached the question, she almost blurted it out.
"What's wrong? There's something on my face?" A hand with clear joints touched the delicate but very unfamiliar face, and a charming and intellectual voice sounded above Jiang Anning's head.
It was obviously not the voice of Dr. Wang Shang who took her pulse yesterday.
Jiang Anning frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion, not sure what the words floating in front of her meant.
Does it mean that Dr. Wang who treated her yesterday has a different face?
"No."
Jiang Anning lowered her eyes and kept a safe distance from her companions: "It's okay, Master. There is a gathering in the city today, so there will inevitably be a lot of people. Master, watch the road carefully."
After saying this politely, she nodded apologetically and quickly followed the team.
Wang Shang looked at the man's fleeing back, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "The little girl is quite wary, but she can't restrain her good intentions, she is still the same as before."
He stayed behind the crowd at a distance, with a playful smile on his lips, but he didn't deliberately chase Jiang Anning.
From the barrage discussion, Jiang Anning confirmed that the person just now was really Wang Shang!
The very talkative Dr. Wang who treated her yesterday... turned out to be just a young man in his twenties.
Her heart was pounding in panic, and her nervous palms were sweating.
Fortunately, I didn’t ask what was on my mind just now...
This man pretended to be a doctor from Anjifang. He didn't know how to change his face, and he didn't know what his purpose was.
Maybe, he is not even a human being!
Jiang Anning suddenly thought of the painted-skinned ghost in the book of ghost stories, and was so frightened that her face turned pale and her fingers hidden in her sleeves were shaking.
When he entered the city gate, he was almost regarded as a suspicious person and was interrogated for a long time.
-
Wang Sheng noticed that the situation had changed yesterday. After running away from Zhao Hai's house, he has not dared to go home.
Especially when he was hiding, he saw the policemen who went to fetch people and arrested the gangsters that Zhao Hai had hired with money.
He was even more afraid to show his head and go home.
Afraid of being implicated.
After hiding for a day and a night, when the sky was just starting to turn white and the streets were empty and no one was around, he walked into a house in the town with familiarity and knocked on the door regularly.
The door was opened, and there was a hint of displeasure on the woman's charming face.
"Why are you here?"
She turned sideways to let Wang Sheng in, poked her head halfway out, looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was paying attention, and then cautiously closed the door.
Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and resented: "It's not your good friend Zhao Hai who caused the trouble, which made me unable to return home!"
The woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she climbed into the man's arms very skillfully and naturally. She said in a sweet voice: "I hate him! Who do you think he is my best friend? You are the only one who is my best friend~"
