Chapter 75 Human life matters
As the shouts rang out, the people inside desperately tried to squeeze outside.
The people outside were startled by the shouting and stood there for a while, at a loss as to what to do.
"Hurry up, there's a dead person inside."
"Quick, quick, disperse."
After hearing it clearly, the onlookers quickly dispersed, and the entrance of Shengyan Building suddenly became much emptier.
Some of the brave ones stayed nearby to watch the fun, while the timid ones would rather watch from afar and refused to leave.
Shen Jingxuan walked quickly into the store, and what caught her eye was a woman kneeling on the ground in the middle of the shop, crying bitterly with a man in her arms.
There were a few burly men standing next to them, looking at Qiuyou, Xiamei and the other two with fierce looks on their faces.
The woman shook the man's body and said, "Husband, wake up. Open your eyes and look at me."
"How could you bear to abandon me and the child? Get up quickly."
Seeing the woman crying bitterly, Shen Jingxuan walked closer and observed the man carefully. Qiuyou and the other two wanted to step forward, but were stopped by her.
The brave people nearby did not leave, but stood and watched from a distance.
"Brother, do you understand? What's going on?"
"Aren't they all dead? What else is there to understand?"
"She must have eaten someone to death. That woman is so pitiful. She is left with an orphan and a widow. How can she live?"
The onlookers kept talking, completely ignoring the woman's sad expression.
The burly man next to the woman glared at Qiu You: "Call your shopkeeper here. He's eating people to death, and why doesn't your shopkeeper come out?"
"That's right. If you don't come out, we'll report it to the police."
Qiu You glanced at the woman and said, "We'll have to wait until the doctor sees us before making a final decision."
The burly man said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you waiting for the doctor? By the time the doctor comes, you'll be dead."
"Does your shop want to cheat? Don't want to take responsibility?"
The onlookers didn't understand what was going on and started to make a fuss: "I think they just don't want to admit it."
"People have died in your shop. Why are you still pretending? The facts are obvious."
"This shop is so ruthless. They ate dead people and refused to admit it."
At this time, the waiter came in with a gray-haired old man: "Doctor, it's him, please take a look."
When the onlookers saw that Shengyanlou had invited a doctor to see the patient, they gradually quieted down.
The old doctor snorted at the waiter and walked over to the woman: "Move aside, I'll take a look."
"What are you looking at? The person is dead." The burly man stopped the old doctor.
The old doctor looked at the people around him and said, "How can I treat him if you don't allow me to see him?"
"He's already dead, why are you treating him? Go away." The burly man raised his hand and pushed the old doctor, making him stagger.
Shen Jingxuan stepped forward to help the old doctor, then turned to look at the woman and said, "Do you know that if you delay any longer, your husband will really die?"
The woman looked at Shen Jingxuan in horror, forgetting to continue crying for a moment, with tears still hanging on her face and about to fall.
Seeing her expression, Shen Jingxuan continued, "You don't have to look at me like that. The medicine your husband took can only make him appear dead for a period of time. When the time is up, he will really die."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the old doctor to take a look at him."
Shen Jingxuan did not scare the woman. If she delayed any further, her husband might really die.
The burly man rolled his eyes and said, "No, no one can touch him."
Seeing that the man was guilty, Shen Jingxuan laughed and said, "Well, then don't look at it."
"It's just a pity for this man. He could have lived, but he had to die."
After she said this, she looked regretful, which made the burly man panic.
"Qiuyou, go and report to the police. If someone really dies, we can't afford the consequences." Shen Jingxuan came and sat on the chair, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Yes, miss, I'll go right away." Qiuyou said and walked quickly out of the shop.
The woman didn't care about crying anymore, she crawled to Shen Jingxuan's side with her hands and feet: "Girl, is my husband really not dead?"
Shen Jingxuan looked down at her and said, "He's not dead yet. In half an hour at most, you can arrange his funeral."
"Wuuuu, girl, please save him." The woman kowtowed continuously, begging Shen Jingxuan to save her husband.
The burly man continued to stop him: "No, sister-in-law, you must not do that."
"I don't care. You can't risk my husband's life. You should figure out your own business."
The woman turned her head and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Miss, please save my husband. I will do anything you ask me to do."
Shen Jingxuan laughed and said, "Just tell the truth in court later."
She didn't need the woman to do anything else for her, just tell the truth and don't let the shop be implicated.
"Okay, okay." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Shen Jingxuan came to the man, took his pulse briefly, and lifted his eyelids.
The poison in this man was indeed as she thought. If he was not detoxified in time, he would really die here.
While everyone around was looking at the man and the woman, Shen Jingxuan used her sleeves to cover her eyes as she took out the detoxification pills given to her by her second master.
"Give this pill to your husband." Shen Jingxuan handed the pill to the woman.
When the burly man saw that she really had the antidote, he reached out to grab it, but was kicked out by Shen Jingxuan.
With a loud bang, the burly man rushed towards the door, and the dust that was splashed blinded the people around him.
The woman didn't bother to pay attention to the burly man. She didn't understand why they kept preventing her husband from seeing the doctor when they obviously had a good relationship with him.
She quickly took the medicine from Shen Jingxuan's hand, gave it to her husband, and stared at him without blinking.
"Cough, cough, cough" the man coughed and the woman hugged him and cried bitterly.
"My husband, you scared me to death. I almost lost the chance to see you."
The man asked suspiciously, "Madam, why do you say that?"
"They secretly gave you poison. If it weren't for this girl saving you, you would have really died."
The man looked up suddenly: "Where's Zhao Hu? When did he give me food?"
"They lied to you. They said it was fake yesterday, but what they secretly gave you today was real poison." The woman held the man tightly by the hand and shook him back and forth.
Seeing that the lady was crying harder and harder, the man patted her on the back and said, "Okay, stop crying. I'm fine, right?"
He looked everywhere for Zhao Hu, but saw several people who followed Zhao Hu and asked him to take medicine.
"you..."
"The Dali Temple is handling a case, and outsiders must stay away..."
The police officers raised their heads and shouted loudly, and the onlookers dispersed and made way for them.
The officer walked into the shop and looked at Zhao Hu at the door: "Who wants to report to the police?"
Qiu You followed the officer and said, "Sir, it's me. They were causing trouble in the shop and I went to report it to the officer."
The officer glanced at Qiu You and asked, "How did you cause trouble?"
Qiu You looked at Shen Jingxuan and continued when she nodded, "Sir, they took poison themselves and tried to frame Shengyanlou. Someone almost died."
"We called the doctors at Shengyan Building, but they refused to see us or give us the antidote."
The officer glared at Zhao Hu and the others beside him and said, "Take away all those involved in this case..."
Following the officer's loud shout, the officers and soldiers outside rushed forward and took away all the people standing in the middle of the shop.
Shen Jingxuan, along with three maids, followed the official, and the group of people marched towards the Dali Temple in a mighty manner.
