After walking out of the dungeon, Ye Gui's eyes were stung and he almost fell to the ground.
After staying in there for a few days, although he had not been tortured, Ye Gui's body was extremely weak. He reluctantly walked to the roadside and wanted to sit down and rest, but unexpectedly, he couldn't catch a breath. At this time, the fortune-teller Mr Lee appeared out of nowhere and helped Ye Gui up. He brought Ye Gui to the inn and had the waiter pass him a bowl of water to drink.
The water that Ye Gui drank in the cell was muddy and dirty, but he was much luckier than the doctor. When the doctor passed the piece of human skin to Ye Gui, Ye Gui saw that his face had already darkened to the point of becoming flesh, and he was already considered dead in terms of medical skills. It seemed that the hidden medicine was only to entrust a person's skin to find Huang Chang's descendant. After giving out the instructions, his life would be at an end.
Ye Gui drank the water, the Mr Lee ordered another plate of pastries and Ye Gui ate it. Ye Gui stuffed his stomach, remembered the experiences of a hidden doctor, and couldn't help but sigh.
Mr Lee looked at Ye Gui as he shook his head and laughed, ”You just escaped from prison, why are you still looking so worried?”
Ye Gui ignored him, and only sighed.
The Mr Lee said to Ye Gui: ”You are still young, your fate is many. A man who has been able to accomplish great things since the ancient times, is just too unfortunate.”
Ye Gui said: ”I am thinking about a fellow prisoner in the prison. His fate is much more rough than mine.”
”Mr Lee looked at the mature Ye Gui,” You will definitely become great in the future, I hope that you will not forget this old friend of mine after you have matured. ”
Ye Gui said: ”I will not be able to sustain my three meals, in the future I will definitely not forget your kindness.” With that, he said his goodbyes and left.
Ye Gui was indeed a person who appreciated favors. He knew that the Xue Family was a family that specialized in medicine in Suzhou City. But unlike the Ye Family, the Xue Family was far more famous. In the Xue Clan's courtyard, there was a green wall. The Ye Family was in dire straits, so the two families did not have much contact with each other.
Ye Gui had been hanging around the Xue Family's doorstep for a long time, and had not dared to let the Xue Family's servants report him. He stood hesitating in front of Shay's house. Suddenly, a young man wearing fresh clothes walked out from the door, and upon seeing Ye Gui's skinny face, he asked Ye Gui: ”You're here to seek treatment? ”Why don't you go in?”
Before Ye Gui could answer, the young man said again, ”Looks like he's quite ill.”
Ye Gui was flabbergasted, he did not know what disease he had.
”The disease of the poor.” The young man looked to be older than Ye Gui by a few years, he should be around twenty years old, but he spoke in a harsh tone, ”This disease is not easy to treat.” Then he laughed.
Ye Gui more or less understood that this youth should be the nephew of the Xue Clan, or perhaps the descendant of Doctor Xue. Ye Gui could not tell that this youth was joking with him, and only bowed respectfully to this youth, ”This one is Ye Gui, please tell me, thank you, Doctor Xue, for saving my life.”
The young man stared at Ye Gui for a long time, ”You have never come to seek treatment, why thank you?”
”I will definitely repay you in the future,” Ye Gui had already finished speaking, and turned to leave, ”Goodbye.”
The young man who left the Xue Clan behind was baffled.
When Ye Gui returned home, his family was already in ruins. They could only guard a dilapidated house. Ye Gui lied on the simple bunk. Compared to the prison, he was like heaven and earth. Ye Gui thought back to the prison and recalled the Golden Finger that the hidden doctor mentioned. He smiled bitterly in his heart, could it be that there really was such a thing as a medical skill that did not need any medicine, acupuncture, or medicine at all? If there really was such a doctor, it wouldn't be any different from the Mr Lee.
Ye Gui's imagination ran wild as he slowly fell asleep. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly felt raindrops above his head, only then did he realize that it was already raining. The roof was leaking raindrops all over the place.
Ye Gui was already used to it, so he didn't mind it at all as he curled up at the foot of the bed to avoid the rain and continued sleeping. However, in his dreams, he had a vague feeling that there was someone in the room. Ye Gui heard the rumbling of thunder in the sky and the heavy rain. He could not help but feel restless and agitated.
Suddenly, a huge flash of lightning illuminated the room, followed by a loud thunderclap. Ye Gui was stupefied. He realized that what he felt just now was right, the house was filled with people, and these people all had their heads lowered, unable to see their faces.
After such a short period of time, the room was once again plunged into darkness. Ye Gui was extremely afraid, the house was suddenly filled with people, and the sounds of rain falling outside were so loud that it sounded like beans hitting the roof, he could not hear any of them breathing or making any sounds at all.
However, Ye Gui could still sense that these figures were standing right beside the bed, very close to him. Another series of explosions of thunder sounded, but there was no lightning. Ye Gui was still trapped in darkness, amidst the rain and the intermittent sounds of thunder, he could clearly hear his own chest beating loudly.
In his terror, Ye Gui endured until the chickens crowed, and then, the sky slowly brightened. The heavy rain stopped. Ye Gui saw that inside the house, other than the ground being covered with rainwater stains, there were no footprints at all. The doors and windows were also bolted.
