Chapter 2109: Collection of Medicinal Materials
After returning to the inn, Wan Shufang directly put the dragon bones into the space. In the next few days, she ran around and finally collected all the medicinal materials.
She prepared the herbs one by one, closed the door, took out the silver needle bag, and coaxed Chen Changli to sit down: "Changli, I will treat you later, don't move around, okay?"
"It won't hurt. As long as you don't move around, I will definitely cure your illness." Wan Shufang guaranteed that the acupuncture detoxification process would indeed not hurt. She was just worried that Chen Changli would be scared and move around randomly, which would hurt his body.
Fortunately, Chen Changli now listens to Wan Shufang in everything. Although he shrank his neck when he saw the silver needle, he still nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will listen to my sister!"
Chen Changli silently encouraged himself in his heart. His sister had worked very hard to climb mountains and kill giant snakes in order to treat his illness. He couldn't cause more trouble for his sister.
Seeing him sitting down obediently, Wan Shufang's heart softened and she rubbed his head before getting up to prepare a medicinal bath. The medicinal bath and acupuncture must be done at the same time, combined with dragon bone therapy, to have a chance of curing Chen Changli's condition.
Everything was ready, but just when Chen Changli was taking a medicinal bath, a group of people suddenly broke in through the window, holding short knives, and stood straight in the faces of the two men.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang's face changed drastically. She took out the anesthetic needle to deal with it, but those people's skills were obviously better than the ones she met by the cold pond. They came over in a few moves and pinched her wrist.
"Hand over the dragon bones."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang did not show much surprise on her face. She had already guessed that Old Man Yan would not give up easily.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang took advantage of his unpreparedness and secretly threw a smoke bomb. The thick smoke blinded everyone's sight. The silver needle pierced into the man's arm, and the man felt dizzy and had to let go. Wan Shufang hurried to Chen Changli and comforted him softly: "Changli, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I won't let these people hurt you." The thick smoke was about to disperse soon. Wan Shufang had noticed long ago that each of these assassins was like the humanoid puppets they encountered in the swamp, with no sense of pain.
It was only because it was an anesthetic injection that it caused a moment of dizziness...
"Bitch, kill this bitch for me and take the dragon bone."
At the command, the black-clad assassin rushed forward. Wan Shufang didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly drew her sword to fight the enemy. This sword was Chen Changli's personal sword.
But those people had no sense of pain, and there were so many of them, and she was alone and it was really difficult to deal with them. She was extremely anxious. At this moment, under the influence of the drug, Chen Changli had fallen into a coma and must not be interrupted.
Fearing that the treatment would be interrupted, Wan Shufang gritted her teeth, took out another bottle of potion, raised her head and poured it down her throat. After the potion entered her throat, she used the secret technique again, trying to forcibly increase her internal strength.
All her internal organs seemed to be torn apart, and a huge internal force surged out of Wan Shufang's body, shocking those people so much that they dared not move forward.
But the next second, her internal force dissipated and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
Wan Shufang covered her chest, her face pale: "It's over... I can't use the secret technique anymore..."
Her body was badly damaged and she couldn't support the operation of the secret technique at all. Seeing this, the assassin became more proud and waved his hand to end the lives of the two.
At this critical moment, another group of masked men suddenly broke in, and with a "swish" sound, the sword pierced into the body of the assassin who was about to approach Chen Changli's bathtub.
Then, several people dispersed and fought with the assassins. Seeing this scene, Wan Shufang paused, but did not bother to ask who the other party was and quickly joined the battle.
With someone helping her, she felt a little more relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. The two sides joined forces and the assassin was finally defeated. He escaped after suffering countless casualties.
Seeing the masked man trying to chase them out, Wan Shufang stopped him: "Don't chase them. Even if you catch the assassins, they won't survive and will be silenced."
After saying that, Wan Shufang calmly walked to Chen Changli, showing a protective attitude, and asked cautiously: "Who are you and why did you suddenly appear here?"
Hearing this, several people in front of them suddenly knelt on one knee. The leader took off his mask, raised his head and looked eagerly: "Madam, it's us!"
“An Feng?” Wan Shufang stared at An Feng with eyes wide open in disbelief. Then, the people behind her also took off their veils. She exclaimed again: “An Yu, An Lei…”
"Aren't you in Yongzhou? Why are you here?"
Wan Shufang frowned. These secret guards were the elites that Chen Changli left in Yongzhou City. They were also there to monitor Yongzhou City at all times so that they could rush back in case of any emergency.
"Madam, we rushed here after receiving the signal from the secret guards. Fortunately, we arrived in time to protect you and the master!" An Feng looked excited, obviously glad that they could arrive here in time to meet up with the two.
Hearing this, Wan Shufang lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then she understood the reason. When Chen Changli was poisoned, she did instruct An Yi to summon the secret guards.
At this moment, looking at the well-trained secret guards, Wan Shufang was delighted and said, "That's great. Now that you are here, I finally have a few helpers I can completely trust."
"Anfeng, you guard Chen Changli and don't let him leave the medicinal bath. There's something wrong with those corpses. I need to take a look first."
"Yes, ma'am." An Feng took the order and walked forward. Like a mountain, he stood beside Chen Changli with a serious and vigilant expression.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang no longer hesitated. She stood up and walked to the bodies of several assassins. Although some of them escaped, some were still shot to death by them.
She squatted down, but suddenly, those bodies quickly dehydrated and shriveled up, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into mummies!
Seeing this horrifying scene, Wan Shufang took several steps back in fear: "What...what's going on? Why did they turn into mummies in an instant?"
"Ma'am, be careful!"
The secret guard stood in front of Wan Shufang, holding a sword in his hand, ready to fight the enemy. After waiting for a long time, the mummies did not move at all.
Wan Shufang calmed herself down and walked forward again. She became more and more certain that these people were not normal people, so she took out the dissection tools.
After the tip of the knife broke through the assassin's skin, the terrifying appearance inside was revealed.
I saw that their internal organs had long since shrunk, and there was not even any food residue in their stomachs, as if they had not eaten for months or even years...
"Strange, why are their bodies like this..." Wan Shufang murmured and continued the dissection, but every corpse was like this.
She suddenly felt strange, but Chen Changli in the bathtub suddenly coughed, interrupting her thoughts.
Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli, not caring about the corpses. She simply ordered, "Drag these strange corpses out and burn them clean."
No matter what, the most important thing now is to cure Chen Changli.
