Chapter 124 Ask a Doctor to Take a Look
Xiao Wei hurried away after receiving Shen Yitian's instructions, and the farce in the lobby of the inn continued.
Aunt Song San suddenly went crazy and picked up things to eat everywhere. Even Song Xiaer, who was scared to tears by her, couldn't get her attention.
"Why did he suddenly go crazy?" Yuan Dutou felt very strange.
The magistrate said, "Since he's already gone mad, let's just treat this as a misunderstanding. Waiter, bring me two jugs of good wine. Captain, since this is a misunderstanding, let this guy apologize to you, and then we can move on."
What he meant was to protect the head of the yamen runners who had inexplicably rushed over to check the exile team.
"Misunderstanding." Yuan Dutou muttered and sat down casually.
"My team was marching along just fine, yet suddenly they came to inspect my team. Mr. Magistrate, it's not that I don't give you this face, but this guy must give an explanation." He stopped the magistrate and let the clerk pour him some wine, without a smile on his face.
The magistrate's smile froze on his face, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled again.
"Yes, that's for sure."
He waved his hand and the clerk retreated again.
"Drag him away and give him ten lashes as punishment." Then he looked at Captain Yuan and asked, "Are you satisfied with this treatment?"
Yuan Dutou originally just wanted an explanation. Since the county magistrate had made his attitude clear, he certainly would not deliberately make things difficult.
The petty official was dragged away screaming like a ghost, but his screams when he was beaten were not as miserable as those of the hunter named Luo.
After the magistrate had dealt with this, he ordered other yamen runners to drag the hunter who had reported the incident away and throw him into jail.
"Although you have teased me, considering your youth and inexperience, I will give you a lenient sentence. You will spend seven days in prison reflecting on your mistakes. If you behave well during these seven days, I will let you go home. If you still behave in prison, I will give you another twenty strokes of the cane."
When speaking to the hunter, the magistrate's voice was obviously much harsher.
Aunt Song, who was lying on the ground, was humming and moaning, and after the magistrate finished sentencing the young woodcutter, she suddenly stood up and jumped, muttering something, and it was unclear whether she was cursing or saying something else.
Seeing how crazy she was, the magistrate turned his eyes away from her.
"I heard that you encountered bandits on the road? There are many mountains in Jingzhou, and the bandits cannot be completely wiped out. I'm sorry to have scared you." He smiled and looked at the dishes on the table.
"Yes, Jingzhou does have many mountains." Yuan Dutou replied casually, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat again.
The magistrate suddenly changed the subject: "Which girl was frightened? As the local official, I have failed in my duty. Otherwise, I will apologize to that girl."
Shen Yitian, who was eating by herself, didn't come to her senses for a moment and turned to look at him.
The magistrate was a shrewd man. As soon as he looked into Shen Yitian's eyes, he immediately locked onto her target.
"It must be this girl. She looks so pale. She must be very scared." He stood up and walked towards Shen Yitian.
Song Yuerong, who was forced to kneel on the ground, stared at Shen Yitian, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
Look at Shen Yitian's face, she looks so healthy that she doesn't even need to put on rouge. How can her face be pale?
It turns out that this county magistrate is also a liar with open eyes.
Before Shen Yitian could react, the magistrate had already walked up to her.
He frowned and said, "Ah, how can you eat these things? Come, stew an old hen for this girl to nourish her body, add some wild mushrooms to enhance the flavor, and two kinds of game to whet her appetite."
Everyone looked at the dishes on Shen Yitian's table with their eyes wide open.
"No need, Your Excellency the Magistrate. I'm full." Shen Yitian immediately rejected the magistrate's kindness.
She had no connection with this person, so why should she owe him a favor for no reason, especially when she was almost full.
"Hey, young lady, you don't have to be polite with me. It's my fault that I frightened you, but it's my duty to treat you to a meal." The magistrate stroked his beard and laughed.
"But I didn't meet these bandits in Liuyuan County, so you don't have to blame yourself." Shen Yitian still refused to accept his kindness.
The magistrate was about to say something when Xiao Wei came back in a hurry, followed by a doctor carrying a medicine box.
The magistrate and Captain Yuan looked at the door at the same time, and then at Shen Yitian.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" the magistrate asked with concern.
Yuan Dutou was also a little confused. Why did Shen Yitian want to see a doctor for no reason?
Shen Yitian said, "You all know that although I was divorced by the Song family, I was once a member of the Song family."
Yuan Dutou didn't respond, but the magistrate sighed, "Divorced?"
Shen Yi nodded. "Yes, there's no time to go into detail about what happened. I'm a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see others suffer. I used to call this woman Third Aunt, and now that she's become like this, I'm worried about her, so I asked a doctor to come and see her."
The crazy Aunt Song suddenly stopped when she heard this and looked at Shen Yitian with a fierce look.
Shen Yitian smiled at her: "I can't help it, I'm just kind-hearted."
Yuan Dutou's mouth twitched, but he understood in his heart.
The magistrate didn't know what she meant, but he intuitively felt that the matter was not that simple, so he didn't say anything.
"Please ask the doctor to check her out. She suddenly went crazy. I heard that some people can become mentally ill after being stimulated, but there are ways to cure it, right?" Shen Yitian left her original position and came to the doctor to ask.
The doctor rolled his eyes and said, "Miss, you are right. This condition can indeed be cured."
Shen Yitian nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, then let's get treated. I'll pay for the medical expenses, and you can use any medicine or other methods you need."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Wei had already pulled the crazy Aunt Song to sit down.
Of course the crazy Aunt Song would not cooperate and struggled hard.
The wound on Xiao Wei's hand had not yet healed completely. When she struggled and felt the pain, she could hardly hold the woman down.
"Come here, help." Yuan Dutou hurriedly directed people over.
Xiao Yu and Brother Hu immediately went over to take over, and Aunt Song, who had been struggling and almost running away, was pushed back onto the stool.
Even her hand, which she refused to take out, was forcibly taken out and placed on the table for the doctor to take her pulse.
The doctor's face changed after taking the pulse and he said, "Is the pulse normal?"
"Is there really no problem?" Shen Yitian said with a smile, and then said: "But people have gone crazy like this, there must be some problems."
The magistrate looked at Yuan Dutou silently. Yuan Dutou was eating by himself, as if he didn't notice what was happening here.
The doctor paused, then placed his hand on Aunt Song's pulse again. After a moment, he said, "As you said, the pulse is not right. I was careless just now. I'm really sorry."
