Chapter 284 – The Arrangements
"Master is the medicine alright?" Kuang Shen asked.
Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. "It's passable, but I would like you to pay more attention to the fire next time. There's still some mistake."
"Yes, Master."
Nan Hua looked at Feng Qian Bo and silently thought of Feng Qian Shao, who was very similar to him. Thankfully the parasites couldn't be transferred through the air nor saliva or it would have already infected so many people by now.
"We're going to do the next one after some rest. What do you think of the medicine, Hua'er?"
"It's very useful." Nan Hua was eyeing the wound on Feng Qian Bo's arm.
Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. He was proud of his medicine and naturally happy when his disciple praised him. His eyes then landed on the bowl filled with parasites as he frowned. It was clear that he didn't really like that thing.
"Master, why don't you kill the parasites?"
"They can't die so easily." Traveling Doctor Liu laughed faintly. He used his needle to poke the parasites. "With blood, they can even live in the air. It's quite easy to breed them."
Kuang Shen was stunned. His eyes when he was looking at the parasites were now filled with deep fear. He couldn't imagine what would it be like if he were to be controlled by parasites in the future.
That would be very painful.
"In that case, what do you want to do with these?"
"I'll show them to Second Master Feng before burning them." Traveling Doctor Liu didn't like these parasites in the slightest bit. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness for a split second when he mentioned what he wanted to do.
Shan Yu didn't seem to be surprised. He merely helped Traveling Doctor Liu to retrieve the needles that he used on Feng Qian Bo's body. "Master, please rest first."
"Mhm, I'll explain a bit about these parasites to you brats. You two have to remember to be very careful when you're eating in Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future. If they slip the eggs in, it'll be very hard for you to take care of it by yourself."
"Teach us, Master." Nan Hua looked at Traveling Doctor Liu.
Traveling Doctor Liu sighed. He looked at the parasites and laughed faintly. "While it's easy to keep these parasites, it's not easy to breed them. They can only be bred within a human's body and most importantly, they will need to be feed with special herbs, which meant that you have to eat specific food.
And moving them from one host to another is not easy. Most importantly, when their host die, they will also die. Thus, if they want to transport these parasites, they had to drain the blood of the host without killing him or use the same method as the one I use just now."
Kuang Shen blinked his eyes. "In that case, how did they come to in the first place?"
"There are some tribes who nurture these parasites. If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring you to meet them." Traveling Doctor Liu sighed.
Nan Hua looked at her master and chose not to say anything. Traveling Doctor Liu might look like he was very energetic, but he was older than her grandfather. If not because of his profession where he would be roaming around, his grandchildren would surely be older than her.
His lifespan would not last that long either.
In the novel, Traveling Doctor Liu died in the middle of the story. It was right at the time when war was raging on.
Nan Hua's eyes flickered.
Since she had changed some of the course of the future through her actions, would it be possible for her to prevent Traveling Doctor Liu's death?
"Alright, the rest period is enough, let's start working."
They moved the next patient and began to work once again. This time, Kuang Shen had grasped the timing better than before, earning a bit of praise from their stingy master.
After Feng Qian Bo and Madam Lu woke up, they were stunned speechless upon seeing the bowl filled with parasites. They couldn't imagine that those things were inside their body all this time.
In fact, Madam Lu was so disgusted that she vomited.
"How about our children?" Feng Qian Bo asked carefully.
Traveling Doctor Liu shook his head. "There are no parasites within their body but when they're conceived, the nutrition that should have been theirs had been sucked off. This would affect their future development and limit their lifespan as what I had told you before, Second Master Feng."
Feng Qian Bo nodded.
Madam Lu looked at the parasites, which were burned by Shan Yu, with hatred. She couldn't believe that because of a woman, she ended up harming her body like this.
"Qian Bo, I'll never accept that woman."
"I know."
Usually, Feng Qian Bo would have refuted his wife. But this time, he didn't disagree and chose to agree with her request. Originally, he was planning on burying Lin Qiang in the family's burial ground. But after he had the conversation with her, he no longer had such thought.
"But, her children are innocent."
Madam Lu's eyes flashed when she heard her husband's words. Even though she was dissatisfied, she couldn't possibly blatantly blame the children in front of her husband.
"I know."
"I'll leave them in your care."
"I understand."
Nan Hua watched Madam Lu agreeing and silently shook her head internally. She was sure that Madam Lu would never treat Feng Mo Yue and Feng Mo Xing well because of her jealousy. Not to mention, Feng Mo Yue was practically the princess in Feng Family because their family was a bit too strong in Yang.
Madam Lu's gaze had revealed her inner thought about how much she hated the children that Lin Qiang bore for her husband.
Thus, Nan Hua came into a conclusion secretly.
Neither polygamy nor polyandry would work well.. It was indeed the best for one to only have one partner.
