The rise of the poor

Chapter 2278 One drink, one silent

Ah San nodded after listening to everyone's valuable opinions, but soon thought of a key issue, "Wait, isn't he in so much pain that he can't sleep? I don't have the skills to cure or alleviate his pain."

If this problem isn't solved, his impersonation of a doctor will definitely be exposed. That noble person is a despicable, ungrateful, and treacherous individual. They will certainly take their anger out on them, and he, the imposter, will definitely be the target of their anger and retaliation.

"Treating his insomnia is no big deal, it's a piece of cake, a piece of cake!" one sailor said confidently.

"Damn, you're pretty arrogant, but you actually have some skills?!" The Indian man looked at him incredulously.

"I don't have the skill to cure him, but I'm more than capable of putting him to sleep. It'll be a piece of cake," the sailor said confidently.

"Damn it, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me already. If you can handle this, you'll have done a great job today. We'll go trade with the barbarians again another day, and if there are any barbarian women, you'll be the first one to go."

The captain urged.

"Alright, Captain, you said it yourself. That barbarian woman's thing is as big as a papaya. I've been eyeing it for a long time."

Upon hearing this, the sailor couldn't help but swallow hard.

"The barbarian women have a terrible body odor. I wouldn't sleep with them even if they were given to me for free. Some of them are even bald, which is bad luck," a sailor said with disdain.

"You don't know anything! They may taste bad, but they're white, like snowflakes!" The sailor's mouth started watering again.

"Alright, stop going off-topic. Tell me how you got him to sleep," the captain interrupted their reverie, urging them on.

"This is too easy. It's our old business, sleeping pills. Just boil some Chinese medicine for him, and when they're not looking, add sleeping pills to it. Tell him it's some kind of family secret recipe, brag about how amazing it is, and let him drink it. Once he drinks it, he won't make a sound. Even if he's an elephant, he'll sleep soundly until dawn."

The sailor patted his chest, winked, and began to use their ancestral secret technique of using sleeping potion.

"Damn, that makes sense! We still have several kilograms of sleeping pills on board. Enough to keep him asleep for a year!"

"Hahaha, Er Gouzi, you really are a genius. Sleeping pills, sleeping pills, they're still medicine."

"Er Gouzi, you're really mean, but I like it."

"As expected, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang! Your sleeping potion has really helped us a lot."

The captain and the crew couldn't help but give the sailor a thumbs up, praising his plan to use sleeping pills.

So, after about an hour, the captain and the others practiced with Ah San dozens of times. They felt that Ah San had become like a doctor and was not easy to be exposed. The captain led Ah San to Luo Longwen's cabin and knocked on the door to pay their respects.

This cabin was the best-located and best-decorated room on the ship. It was originally the captain's private room, but Luo Longwen took it over by force after boarding.

Luo Longwen's henchman opened the door and saw the Indian man beside the captain. "Who is he? The doctor you found?!"

"That's right, he is the doctor I found, the heir of a fallen family of doctors hidden among the sailors."

The captain nodded and bowed.

"Don't try to fool our master by finding just anyone to pretend to be a doctor. If we find out you've been lying to our master, you'll be in deep trouble," the two lackeys warned Ah San after scrutinizing him at the door.

"These gentlemen are extremely discerning; even if we had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, we wouldn't dare to deceive them."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The captain and the Indian man shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they dared not deceive him upon the expiration of the contract.

"Wait."

The two lackeys told the captain and Ah San to wait outside while they went in to report to Luo Longwen.

"Report my ass! So you're the ones in pain, aren't you? Hurry up and bring the captain and the doctor in, I'm in so much pain I'm dying."

Upon hearing the report from his two lackeys, Luo Longwen immediately berated them and ordered them to bring the captain and doctor in right away.

Two lackeys, looking disheveled, came out and brought the captain and Ah San in.

"Sir, this is our ship's doctor—Doctor Wang, from a family of doctors for three generations." After bowing and scraping to Luo Longwen as he entered the cabin, the captain pushed Ah San out from behind him and introduced him to Luo Longwen.

"You're a doctor? You don't look like one to me," Luo Longwen said, squinting at Ah San.

“Sir, you have a good eye. I haven’t been a doctor for many years. I’ve been working on illegal ships for five years now. But don’t worry, sir, my family has been doctors for generations. It’s been passed down from my great-grandfather’s generation. I’m the third generation now. I’ve never forgotten our ancestral skills.” Ah San had a plan for this and explained calmly.

"Why would you give up a perfectly good job as a doctor to do something that could cost you your life?!" Luo Longwen's suspicions remained undiminished.

Doctors make money and live a peaceful life. Why would you give up a perfectly good job as a doctor to do something that could cost you your life? Are you out of your mind?

“I dare not hide it from you, sir. Something happened at home, and I had no choice but to change my name and leave my hometown to come to this smuggling ship. If it weren’t for the fact that our captain gave me a hundred taels of silver and I was in urgent need of money, I would not have exposed my identity.”

Ah San explained using the words the captain had taught him.

They had discussed this issue in detail, and the Indian man explained it with ease, his sincerity tinged with helplessness, yet his helplessness was full of sincerity.

It felt like being forced into a corner.

"What happened at home? Did someone die?!" Luo Longwen sat up in bed and asked in rapid succession.

If this guy causes someone to die and escape, it means his medical skills are incompetent, and Luo Longwen wouldn't dare let him treat him.

"On the contrary, I cured a person who was poisoned and appeared to be dead. It turned out that this person was a maid in a powerful family. After she recovered, she beat the drum to appeal for justice, accusing the powerful man of raping her and accusing the mistress of being jealous and poisoning her. Because I cured this maid, I brought trouble to the powerful family, and they also held a grudge against me. I had to go into hiding and flee with my whole family. Since we were unregistered, we could only do this kind of deadly work. This time, my youngest son fell seriously ill and needed a hundred-year-old ginseng to strengthen his body. I was desperately short of money, so when I heard about the captain's reward, I revealed my identity," Ah San sighed and explained in a complicated way.

"I see." Luo Longwen and his two lackeys nodded in agreement, believing what Ah San had said.

Putting ourselves in their shoes, if they were from that powerful family, they would also be angry with this doctor who didn't know his own limitations.

If you hadn't saved that bitch, none of this would have happened. It's all your fault for saving her, that's why this mess has arisen.

If I don't teach you a lesson, who will I teach a lesson to?

In the river, in the Ganges. (End of Chapter)
