Chapter 846
The old, accompanying doctor was Physician Li . He was very experienced . He had seen a few cases of rabid dog bites, but had never cured them . It didn't stop him from believing, however, that the recordings in the old medical books were correct .
He could not cure them because they either could not find mad dog brain, or the poor men could not afford the fees . Most dog bite victims were poor people, such as peasants, carriage drivers, beggars, thieves, and low-class men . They could not pay him at all, and he would not bother looking for any other treatments . The rich people barely had the chance to meet rabid dogs, so they would never get bitten .
Even in front of Wu Mancheng, the master of a rich family, he pretended to be unyielding and uncompromising; he kept shaking his head and saying no . He claimed that the rabid dog must be captured and its brain extracted, otherwise the patient was incurable . He had already received his payment for the trip, and he could not take any risks .
Wu Mancheng was upset . His cousin had bravely volunteered to accompany him north, yet he ended up with a disaster . The problem was, he had never heard that his cousin was bitten by a rabid dog!
At that moment, Famous and Old Time Tea followed Wu Ning to the front of the group . As soon as Physician Li saw Famous, he felt that it was his chance to claim some credit . Hihi, how lucky could he possibly be? Without any searching effort, the rabid dog just showed up front in front of his face!
Then he yelled, "Hey! Take that rabid dog! Don't let it run!"
Famous looked around, but didn't see any rabid dog . It then realized that Physician Li was referring to itself––he was calling it a rabid dog . It was so mad that it wanted to bite his face off… It was not real history, anyway, so biting him was probably fine .
Wu Ning, Wu Mancheng, and some servants knew Famous well . Besides, it didn't look like a rabid dog at all . They were astonished at this claim and said, "Sir, is this a mistake? This dog is not rabid!"
Physician Li insisted that Famous was surely a rabid dog, claiming that they must kill it and use its brain to cure the patient in the carriage .
He was a reputable doctor in Foshan . Otherwise, Wu Mancheng would not have paid him a high price to be the accompanying doctor . As he insisted, many people started to believe him . They hinted to Wu Mancheng that he should listen to Physician Li . Even if the dog had saved Wu Ning's life, she had repaid her favor, which was witnessed by everyone . Since they were now even, which one was more important? A human's life or a dog's life?
Wu Mancheng vented without taking sides . Yet, to the other people, not taking sides meant that he agreed .
The bodyguards hinted to each other, carried their muskets, and surrounded them just in case Famous tried to escape .
Famous really wanted to swear . The old doctor seemed reputable and knowledgeable, yet he nothing more than a phony charlatan . His outdated treatment doctrines and flowery talks might have harmed many patients .
Famous looked everywhere for an escape route, yet people had blocked all possible roads .
Famous was confident about its strength and jumping ability . Adding its crisis prediction ability, it could escape from a wolf ten times more ferocious than the people around him were . It was discouraged by the muskets and rifles in their people's hands, though .
It had witnessed the power of muskets and rifles . With one shot during hunting, hundreds of metal pellets burst out of the barrel, covering a great area . It could not shoot very far, but it could kill anything close by… Even Neo from the Matrix would be shot into a sieve .
What was the consequence of dying in the Imagined World? Would it leave the Imagined World? Or would the real body in the real world die as well?
Famous didn't know and didn't want to know . It didn't want to try… Galaxy's Blackbox World was too weird and it could not serve as a point of reference .
