Chapter 689: 19’s Instructions
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know how Yan Kuan would arrange things for her.
At this moment, she was just like Ouyang Jue from before. Although she was not fully equipped with equipment, both of her arms had opened up vein pa.s.sages, and the nutrient fluids were constantly being transfused.
The Huang Medical Research Inst.i.tute under Huang Yueyan’s name had specially split open a layer on the top floor for Shen Xiaoxiao, serving her alone.
Old Man Yao and 19 were huddled in the research room at the side, while Huang Yueyan was watching the two children for the time being.
No matter how well 19 prepared and took care of them, Shen Xiaoxiao was wasting away at a visible rate.
Sometimes, she was lying there motionless like a dead person, and even her breathing was slow and subtle.
Her hair was originally dark and s.h.i.+ny, but now it had slowly become dull. When a strong woman like Huang Yueyan saw Shen Xiaoxiao, all the thoughtlessness she had at the beginning had disappeared.
“Do you still want that snake? I’ll pay a high price. I don’t believe that others won’t be able to catch it.”
Seeing Old Man Yao fiddling by the side, 19 frowned helplessly. He had already discovered that the activity of the cells in Xiaoxiao’s blood had begun to decrease. It was even one-tenth of the level of an ordinary person, so she would continue to sleep.
“Wait a moment. Old Man Yao said that he will come out in two hours. There are still a few minutes left until he arrives. After he comes out, ask him. We have to find a way to wake her up. She has already been unconscious for almost ten days. If this continues, she won’t be able to hold on for long.”
Huang Yueyan was getting more and more anxious. The two children had already asked her many times, but she kept trying to fool them. The last time she brought them to take a look, she only said that she had taken medicine and fallen asleep. Da Bao and Little Treasure were so smart… She even felt that she could not continue speaking.
“He’s out.”
19 saw that Old Man Yao walked out of the laboratory somewhat tiredly. This time, he was not anxious. Instead, he brought him a chair and helped him sit down before pa.s.sing him a gla.s.s of water.
Old Man Yao glanced at 19 and said:
“This time, you’re still like a human. You know to respect the elderly and love the young. I’ve long told you that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse gra.s.s. This old man is already in his seventies. There will always be times when his body can’t take it. For your research, he hasn’t had much rest for a long time…”
Blah, blah, blah. Old Man Yao had been talking for a few minutes, but he didn’t even take a sip of water. Did he look tired? It didn’t seem like it.
“Alright, I know that you’re anxious. I won’t be vague anymore. Here, take this for the girl. She’ll definitely wake up in three days.”
“Really? Can she really wake up? Is it the antidote?”
Old Man Yao glared at Huang Yueyan and shouted loudly:
“The antidote? Do you think the Suoyin Flower Tears is that easy to cure? I have been concocting for decades and still haven’t found the antidote. This medicine can only suppress the effect, but it’s not without gain. At least, it’s not like before when I couldn’t find the direction of the Suoyin Flower Tears at all.”
Hearing Old Man Yao’s words, Huang Yueyan was a little disappointed. She thought that he had found the antidote.
“Is the golden laurel snake useful?”
“Yes, it’s useful. Not only the golden laurel snake, but I also added a bit of the Banxia’s extract. The Banxia is the most effective, so I thought that the Banxia might really be the antidote to the Suoyin Flower Tears. But why didn’t it appear in the prescription? I’m a little confused.”
When he heard this, 19 also asked in puzzlement, “You mean that there are things other than those three things that can cure the Suoyin Flower Tears?”
Old Man Yao touched his non-existent beard and said calmly:
“That prescription was pa.s.sed down by the Ouyang family for a thousand years, but I always feel that it is clearly the Suoyin Flower Tears, but why does this medicine have to be interpreted by the Suoyin Flower Tears? The Suoyin Flower Tears is the sap of the Suoyin flower. If you use that thing, aren’t you afraid that the poison will be stronger?”
“Or is it that there are other solutions to the Suoyin Flower Tears that we don’t know about?”
“If they don’t know, how do we know? But regardless of that method, we have to try.”
Huang Yueyan didn’t understand what Old Man Yao was saying, but the key thing was that she knew that she had to let Old Man Yao try it before she knew.
On the other hand, 19 asked with some doubt, “I heard from Xiaoxiao that the old woman said that not only could she use those things to create an antidote, but she could also use it to rejuvenate and live forever. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“Immortality? Live forever? Hmph, I’ve lived for so many years. Other than reading about it in medical books, I’ve never really encountered it in reality. However, there are all kinds of strange things in this world. Perhaps there are some as well.”
“No, what I mean is that the old woman has always wanted to gather those few medicines not only to save Ouyang Jue, but also to achieve immortality. Perhaps this antidote is not those few medicines in the first place.”
Old Man Yao fell into deep thought. This was not impossible. Moreover, he had indeed discovered that this Banxia was somewhat magical. Therefore, after thinking for a while, Old Man Yao still said, “I will continue to research. Don’t give up on finding the real antidote on your side. There will always be some benefits if you work both ways.”
“Alright, I will go and give the medicine to Xiaoxiao now. Oh right, how long can this medicine last?”
“I’m not sure either. Looking at her, it’s still the same thing. She needs to be calm and steady. Her emotions can easily stimulate the vitality of her cells.”
“By the way, there’s another situation. This golden laurel snake’s entire body is snow-white. Even its blood is white. So I’m worried that Xiaoxiao’s hair will change after using this medicine.”
“Her hair will change?”
“Old man, do you mean that Xiaoxiao’s hair will also turn white?”
“That might not be the case. The hair of the gray rabbit that I used has turned a little pale, so I think Xiaoxiao using it will also have some effect.”
Huang Yueyan and 19 looked at each other. Her hair would turn white? Was there a need to go that far?
“No matter what, we have to wake her up first. If her hair is about to turn white, we’ll just dye it back. White hair is popular now anyway.”
Huang Yueyan was rather open-minded. 19 gritted his teeth and did not say anything for a long time.
Huang Yueyan looked at 19 and felt a little uncomfortable. She did not say anything and dragged him to the ward.
She gave the living water to Shen Xiaoxiao and there was no reaction. However, since she said that she would wake up in three days, she did not think it would be so soon.
There were still four children at home, so Huang Yueyan did not want to waste too much time. She left after saying goodbye to 19.
19 looked at the sleeping person and angrily took the computer, issuing instructions to the person inside. Xiaoxiao must not suffer for nothing. He must make some people pay a painful price.
…
“What’s going on? Someone offered a reward of 200 million US dollars to kill Long Xi?”
Yun Qi’s exclamation attracted everyone’s attention, and even Dark 1 walked over to take a look.
This news was not sent from the Dark Empire, but from an underground organization. As long as they were desperate for money, they could accept it. Of course, they also did not have an organization. Whoever had the ability to kill someone would get the money. It was that simple.
“Could it be a drug lord?”
“Who knows? Boss has so many enemies. That Long Xi has provoked a lot of people.”
“No, you all guessed wrong. I think it should be 19.”
“What? 19?”
