Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Gu Qinghe looked through the sachet twice, and the familiar scent from the mother and son gradually emanated from the sachet.

"You won't need a new one," Gu Qinghe smiled and said sarcastically, "Master, you have a good plan."

The old Taoist's eyes flickered, and he was angry and said, "You guys are here to cause trouble for me on purpose. What good tricks do you have? I'm helping you to exorcise the evil spirits, and I don't even charge you for it. What else do you want?"

"You didn't charge because you were afraid your scheme would be exposed. If we hadn't caught you today, wouldn't you have deceived this mother and son and ruined their family?"

A coldness gradually seeped into his eyes, and he kept calling himself a poor Taoist priest. He claimed to be a man who saved people, but actually used fraudulent tactics.

He was able to do this to an orphan and a widow. Just looking at the skinny child, it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of crimes for a long time.

Gu Qinghe waved his hand at Gao Cun, "Don't listen to his nonsense, tie him up and send him to the authorities. If he has anything to say, he can explain it to the prefect when we get to the government office."

Gao Cun quickly tied up the old Taoist priest. Not bothering to listen to his broken voice, he simply tore open a piece of the old Taoist priest's clothes, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

The mother and son were still sitting on the ground, not yet able to react to the chaotic farce.

The mother was confused and had no idea what was going on, but she only knew that her child's illness could not be delayed any longer.

She knelt on the ground and subconsciously grabbed the clothes of the person closest to her, crying, "Save my child, save my child, this is my life..."

Lu Zhiyao felt a sharp headache. The woman's crying and wailing in front of her suddenly seemed to have changed into a different scene. The child tugged at her skirt, the man holding his child and kneeling to thank her, the child walking on the street smiling and greeting her...

"Doctor Lu."

"Doctor Lu."

"Divine doctor, they say you are a deity sent from heaven to save people. You have great medical skills, please be kind and save my mother..."

"Doctor Lu... Divine Doctor Lu..."

These sudden images and sounds seemed to tear Lu Zhiyao to pieces alive.

Her face turned pale, she covered her head and almost screamed.

Gu Qinghe was the first to notice her mother's abnormality. She quickly pulled her over to lean against her and coaxed her gently, "It's okay, it's okay, Mom, don't rush to think about those things. Put those scenes aside now and open your eyes and look at me."

Lu Zhiyao raised her eyes, and the chaotic scenes gradually blurred and merged into Gu Qinghe's face.

The worry on her face gradually calmed Lu Zhiyao down, and she said softly, "I'm fine, I just feel that this scene is very familiar."

"You used to see patients a lot. Maybe you've come across someone in a similar situation as this mother and child. Don't worry, you'll remember it eventually. There's no need to rush."

"it is good."

After comforting his mother, Gu Qinghe walked towards the mother and son, squatted down, and waved the sachet in his hand, which the Taoist called a talisman, in front of the woman.

"This so-called amulet contains the very thing that caused your child to be in this state. Do you want to go to the government office with me?"

The woman was obviously still in shock. She looked down at the child and murmured, "Is that so?"

"It contains the Soul-Separation Grass, a herb that can easily cause nightmares. If you carry it with you all the time, you will feel drowsy at best, or even afraid to sleep at worst."

"But this thing can kill people because it not only causes nightmares and makes people unable to sleep, but also makes them extremely sleepy and eventually fall into a coma."

Not to mention children, even adults can't stand such torture. No wonder the woman believed the old Taoist. Her child must have cried and had nightmares with her during this period of time. He didn't dare to fall asleep, but he was really sleepy and could only rely on crying to solve the problem.

But this is not a solution. If things go on for too long, the child will probably be tortured to death.

Today, under the threat of Ouyang Xia, the old Taoist took back the amulet. Without the Soul-Separation Grass, the child will no longer have nightmares. He can have a good sleep and will be full of energy again after some time of recuperation.

Not only will the old Taoist not suffer any loss, but it can also make him famous. With this method, getting rich will not be a problem.

It’s a pity that I met nosy people like Gu Qinghe.

Ouyang Xia became furious when he heard what Gu Qinghe said. He raised his foot and kicked the old Taoist a few steps away. With his mouth blocked, the old Taoist could only groan on the ground with a pale face.

He knew that his situation was hopeless. Even if these people let him go, the people of Chizhou would never let him go.

But fortunately, he still has one last trump card. After today, the worst that can happen is that he will leave Chizhou and go back to his old business somewhere else.

Gao Cun took the people to the yamen. The prefect had somehow gotten the news in advance and came out to greet them early.

The prefect knew Gao Cun and was very nice to him, but he looked at the old Taoist with an expression that was extremely annoyed.

"Come here!" He called the yamen runners directly, "How dare this charlatan to use such a trick in Chizhou? I will beat him with twenty sticks first!"

Gu Qinghe had heard Shao Wei mention this prefect before, and from Gao Cun's attitude towards this prefect, he could tell that this man should be a good official.

Gao Cun narrated today's events to the prefect, and the woman also cried as she told him about what had happened to her child.

The child is young, and now that she knows the reason, the woman just wants to take the child home to rest and recuperate. As for the fate of the old Taoist priest, she believes that the prefect will handle it impartially.

The prefect had the woman sent back home. Before she left, Gu Qinghe stopped her and said, "Let the child have a good sleep first. He can wake up on his own. The child has been sleep deprived for too long. He needs to sleep for at least two days."

Gu Qinghe took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened it and took a look, then handed it to the woman, "Find a way to feed this medicine to the child first. This medicine can sustain his body, even if he doesn't eat for a few days."

The woman thanked him repeatedly and looked at Gu Qinghe with tearful eyes, "May I ask your name, young lady? When my son gets better, I will bring him to thank you in person."

Gu Qinghe shook his head. "It's just a piece of cake."

After the mother and son left, the old Taoist no longer had the strength to shout after being beaten with twenty military sticks.

Gu Qinghe didn't want to stay here any longer. She was worried about Lu Zhiyao's condition and just wanted to go back and let her rest.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have already noticed this liar's tactics. I just don't have any evidence. In addition, those who have been deceived by him believe him without a doubt. I really don't know where to start."

The prefect stroked his goatee and said, "But it's good this time. The swindler has been caught and his tricks have been exposed. If nothing else, at least the people of Chizhou will not be fooled like this again. Speaking of which, I have to thank you all."
