Chapter 54 Treatment
"You want me to help you?" Song Yu was very surprised.
She was now a hostage, wasn't she? The kidnappers wanted the hostages' help, having clearly threatened that morning that if they didn't bring 300,000 taels of silver within three days, their lives would be in danger.
Now he is so confident that he comes to her for help.
"What do you want me to help you with?" Song Yu asked.
"Cure diseases and save lives." Ji Xinglang said.
This word, coming from the bandit's mouth, was full of irony.
Ji Xinglang seemed to know that it was somewhat ridiculous for him to say this.
He thought for a moment and said, "No one is born to be a bandit. In times of famine, when the crops fail to grow and the wheat doesn't grow, one must find a way out."
When Song Yu heard this, his expression was moved, but he was still hesitant.
Ji Xinglang said, "If you help me, I can also grant you one request."
Song Yu thought about it again and again, and asked: "Who do you want me to save?"
Ji Xinglang said, "Did you see all the girls in the cells?"
Song Yu was stunned, then surprised: "You want me to heal them?"
Ji Xinglang said, "They were abducted by the previous boss and tortured beyond recognition. If Miss Lu can be kind enough to treat them, I will arrange a suitable place for them once they recover a little."
Song Yu looked surprised, but then he reacted and said, "But there was a girl who said that she was abducted two days ago. Could it be that your former boss died two days ago?"
Ji Xinglang shook his head. "No, it was my men who did it. They haven't completely gotten rid of the previous boss's style of work. From now on, I will reprimand and urge them to do what they want."
Ji Xinglang's plan was full of loopholes, but Song Yu finally agreed because Ji Xinglang said that as long as Song Yu cured those people, she could give them a chance to live even if Lu Shangbai could not come up with 300,000 to redeem them.
So in the afternoon, women were sent to the courtyard where Song Yu lived one after another.
Those women were all those she had seen in prison, and Song Yu also put forward conditions for Ji Xinglang to release Su He.
Su He has a tacit understanding with her and can be her assistant, such as preparing and boiling medicine.
After Song Yu examined the patient, he found out why Ji Xinglang wanted him to treat him.
Because most of those girls suffered from gynecological diseases, severe inflammation in their lower body, and even a foul odor.
Song Yu was shocked when he saw it. Many of these girls were already in a trance, and he had no idea where to start asking about their pathology.
Song Yu decided to treat their external injuries first and then deal with their mental problems.
She is not a professional psychologist. Although traditional Chinese medicine has its own treatment plans for mental illness, only by surviving can one take care of mental matters.
However, it is also difficult to treat those women who look dazed. Because they have suffered psychological trauma, treatment is also a stimulation to them.
In the end, Song Yu could only prescribe some tranquilizers for them to calm their emotions, and then slowly heal their injuries.
But considering their situation, three days is totally not enough.
She told Ji Xinglang about this situation.
Ji Xinglang pondered for a moment and asked, "Then, how long will it take to cure those with mild symptoms?"
Song Yu spoke frankly, "It depends on what you say. To what extent? If it's completely healed, the mildest case will probably take half a month, while the most severe case will require slow recuperation, at least a year."
"So long?" Ji Xinglang listened thoughtfully, and then said to Song Yu: "Then please, Miss Lu, start with the mild symptoms."
"They can be treated together, and if there really has to be a priority, the serious cases should be treated first." Song Yu spoke from a doctor's perspective.
Ji Xinglang said, "Treatment and saving lives require medicinal herbs, right? Although I want to save them, I'm not a kind person. I'm afraid no one would do something that requires a lot of investment and little return."
When Song Yu heard what he said, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Ji Xinglang left, and Su He walked out from the dark. He looked at the door, and Song Yu looked at him: "What is his purpose?" Song Yu asked.
Su He retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "There is still one day left, if Lu Shangbai can't come back as promised.
I wonder what this big boss will do next."
When Song Yu heard what he said, his expression became serious.
Although Ji Xinglang said that as long as she could cure those girls, he could temporarily spare their lives even if Lu Shangbai could not keep his promise in the end.
But that is only temporary, like a knife hanging over your head, not knowing when it will fall.
At night, everything was quiet. Su He hid his body and dodged the patrols around him.
He looked in the right direction and headed straight for the main building of the village.
At this moment, in the hall of the building, Ji Xinglang was sitting on a high platform with a group of younger brothers standing below.
"Brother, I say that we should just kill those women. Even if they can be cured, it will take ten days or half a month, but a year, considering we are a charity, the money from selling them won't be enough to cover the medical expenses." A younger brother spoke from below.
Ji Xinglang leaned back in the tiger-skin chair, his upper body reclining, listening to his younger brother's words below, seemingly in deep thought.
After a while, he said, "In that case, let's deal with it."
What he said to Song Yu was a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Those women were indeed abducted by the previous boss and tortured half to death.
The reason why he asked Song Yu to save them was to try whether he could cure them, but now, even if Song Yu could cure them, it would cost a large sum of money.
His original plan was to prescribe a few prescriptions, cure the patient, and then sell them for another profit.
But if the investment exceeds the return, then the deal is not worth it.
He is neither a Bodhisattva nor a businessman; what he wants is absolute profit.
There is still one day left before the appointment with Lu Shangbai is due. If he doesn't show up by then...
Su He returned to the yard calmly. After thinking about it, he went to find Song Yu and told him the information he had heard.
After hearing this, Song Yu did not show any surprise, as if he had already expected it.
"When did you know?" Su He couldn't help but ask.
Song Yu said, "I don't know. I just had a guess, but I didn't expect it to be right."
Women are indeed just commodities to bandits.
"Do you want to save them?" Su He asked.
Song Yu said: "I think so, but I have no idea."
Su He hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can take advantage of the darkness and strong wind to catch them off guard."
Song Yu asked in return, "How did you get caught off guard?"
Su He really wanted to say that he could go and kill them all, but he was afraid that if he said that, Song Yu would be scared by his words.
He could only change his mind and ask, "Poison them?"
Song Yu shook his head: "It's hard to find an opportunity. We can't even get out of this courtyard..."
After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Su He, and finally remembered to ask: "How did you know about their plan?"
