The animal kingdom has an innate skill of concealment. The chameleon will change its color with the environment, and the rattlesnake hiding in the desert is also sand-yellow.
The leeches in Elder Yang's body could be said to be the best of leeches. Not only did it have a structure similar to a human head, even the color was extremely similar to human flesh.
Leeches were difficult to detect and to eradicate. If not for Lee Rui, it could be said that the Elder Yang didn't have another two years to live.
"Sage Li, according to your request, we have collected these medicinal materials."
From seven to nine in the evening, the ward continued to send in all kinds of medicinal herbs: grade seven ginseng with leaves, grade ten snow lotus, old deer's blood … They were all extremely precious Chinese medicinal herbs. With Lee Rui's current strength, it would be difficult to gather these things.
However, it was possible for the Yang Family; under Yang Laoda's organization, all the medicinal ingredients had been gathered. It was placed in a pile in the ward.
"Alright, all the unrelated people need to go out. Yang Wu, follow me. Uncle Yang, please go find some firewood to set up a boiler and find a metal pot.
It was not hard to do, Yang Laoda quickly went to prepare. Lee Rui brought Yang Wu along as they walked along the corridor. Lee Rui brought over a stool to sit and wait.
Before long, the corridor was on fire. Fiery flames were burning the boiler. As the water boiled, Lee Rui slowly and leisurely threw all the ingredients into the pot.
"Nothing, you can all leave, don't stay here." There's something, I will get Yang Wu to notify you all. "
Although everything was arranged by Lee Rui, but Lee Rui was still a little not used to this kind of atmosphere where people were watching him. Especially for some people, they just needed to watch and they even took out their cell phones to take pictures.
Under Lee Rui's instructions, Yang Laoda quickly arranged for everyone to leave and the hallway became silent.
"Add some firewood to keep the fire going." Lee Rui didn't forget to remind Yang Wu to do something.
"Alright." Yang Wu replied sullenly, adding some wood, she carefully asked: "Lee Rui, are you sure you can really cure my grandfather's illness?"
"If you have any ideas, just say it out." Lee Rui replied.
"I checked your family, and you aren't any kind of Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family disciple at all. To be honest, your medical skills have advanced by leaps and bounds. I'm very curious about what happened in the past few months. "
Lee Rui looked at Yang Wu meaningfully.
People were afraid of fame, but once they became famous, they would attract the attention of others. No matter how well he concealed it, there would still be traces to follow.
If Yang Wu could find out about this today, it was hard to say whether others would. This was a very dangerous signal, Lee Rui did not want to share the secret of the Wechat Group of the Nether World with others.
"Let's make a deal. I'll cure your grandfather's illness, and you protect my family. How about it?" Lee Rui said.
"How do you want me to protect you?" Yang Wu asked.
"At least not by someone who wants to."
"Then I'll send people to protect them in secret." Yang Wu raised her head to look at Lee Rui, and asked, "Do you think this is alright?"
Lee Rui shook his head: "Not much."
He was very clear that once a person possessed a power that transcended the world, it would bring them many troubles. Wherever there were people, there would be people from the martial arts world. In the future, he would inevitably offend people, and his parents were his only weakness.
Secretly, this kind of protection isn't really brilliant. It was fine to deal with normal hooligans, but if he really met a desperate villain, then he might not necessarily be able to do so.
"I do have a good idea, see if you can arrange my parents in Guard Area. They can be packed with food and shelter. Their work is easy, and their treatment is good."
"But what if your parents go out? Furthermore, they may not necessarily get used to the life of Guard Area. " Yang Wu said.
Lee Rui's and Yang Wu's eyes met, and said indifferently: "Perhaps you do not understand, a stable job and good treatment, to ordinary people, is the most important thing."
Yang Wu was silent for a long time, then said: "Alright, I'll go arrange it tomorrow."
Lee Rui was relieved. As long as the safety of his parents was guaranteed, he could let go of this matter and wander around.
Time passed unknowingly, and the medicinal herbs in the pot were gurgling. A pot of medicine was turned into porridge by Lee Rui. Lee Rui took a bowl and scooped a bowl, then placed it on the side of the window to cool down.
Then he walked into the room.
Old Master Yang was still sleeping, beside the bed laid a pot of deer blood, a strong fishy smell pervaded the air. Lee Rui took out a small knife, grabbed onto Old Master Yang's palm, pressed on his fingers and cut them.
Blood flowed out.
Lee Rui held onto Old Master Yang's five bleeding fingers, and turned to shout at Yang Wu:
"Feed the medicine to your grandfather, and the medicine won't stop."
Yang Wu quickly coordinated with Lee Rui.
Elder Yang drank the medicine concocted by Lee Rui when he was unconscious, his body slightly trembled. The expression on his face was pained, but he did not wake up.
As time passed, the curtain of the night deepened.
Lee Rui and Yang Wu nervously stared at Old Master Yang.
Suddenly, Yang Wu cried out in alarm: "What's that?!"
She was pointing at Elder Yang's arm, which was evidently bulging out a little, and this little lump was still slowly moving downwards.
Lee Rui squinted his eyes and said to Yang Wu: "This is the leech that I have been emphasizing all this while, do you believe me now?"
The red leech continued to move, and finally squeezed out from the part of Elder Yang's finger that was cut open, entering the basin of deer blood beside the bed. Soon after, not long after, three of Elder Yang's arms swelled up like that at almost the same time.
This scene was simply too terrifying. Yang Wu covered her own mouth with all her might, as she almost could not believe that within her grandfather's body, there was actually such a disgusting thing living.
After the three leeches appeared, Yang Wu asked, "Is that enough?"
"Wait a little longer, there's one more Leech Queen that hasn't come out yet."
Just as Yang Wu was feeling a little sleepy, a thumb sized bag appeared on Elder Yang's arm. Slowly moving speed, the Leech Queen suddenly stopped moving when she reached the tip of Elder Yang's finger.
"Why aren't you moving?" Yang Wu asked anxiously.
Lee Rui did not speak, he grabbed his knife and cut fiercely.
The piece of flesh and skin that was the Elder Yang's finger was sliced into the deer blood basin by Lee Rui. Without enough time to bandage it, Lee Rui opened up the Deer Blood Pellet, took out a few ingredients and threw them into the Deer Blood Pellet. In an instant, the deer blood turned black. The five leeches rolled up and down within the deer blood, emitting creaking sounds.
This sort of screeching sound was absolutely creepy. After about two minutes, all of the leeches in the deer's blood were finally poisoned to death.
In the end, Lee Rui finally took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Call your dad and the others over."
Lee Rui took the deer blood and boiled it again after pouring it into the wok in the corridor. Even though he had poisoned the five leeches, he still wasn't at ease with them. He had to completely destroy them.
Yang Laoda and the rest were watching from upstairs. When they received Yang Wu's message, they quickly came down.
"Sage Li, how is my father?"
Lee Rui didn't speak and walked over to Elder Yang's side and placed the last bowl of medicinal liquid into his mouth. In that moment, Elder Yang suddenly woke up and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"What is that thing …" It was so hard to drink … "Ugh!" "Ugh!"
"He's fine." Lee Rui looked at Elder Yang who was vomiting and smiled.
Not long after, Yang Laoda and the others surrounded the Elder Yang.
Elder Yang had a face full of joy: "It's no more painful, it doesn't hurt anymore. I feel much better now, looks like I don't have to die."
"Grandfather, let's not be so happy, this is Spiritual Master Li, Lee Rui. She is the one who cured you." Yang Wu introduced to the Elder Yang.
Elder Yang looked at Lee Rui for a long time. He raised his hand and said to Yang Laoda: "Help me up."
Yang Laoda asked as he helped his father up.
Elder Yang stood up and bowed towards Lee Rui.
"I, Old Yang, will never forget the grace that Daoist Master Li has shown in saving my life!"
