Doctor Li looked at Gu Wanhua lying on the bed. At this mont, Gu Wanhua’s outer garnt had been removed, revealing the marks of being struck by the door latch underneath.
Doctor Li gasped, his gaze sweeping over each mber of the Gu Family. Who could have done this? How could they be so ruthless? Without daring to delay, he quickly began to take the pulse.
Everyone in the room held their breath. After a while, Uncle Gu saw Doctor Li’s brows furrowing and then relaxing, causing his own heart to tighten and then relax in response.
It was a long ti before Doctor Li finally released the hand that had been feeling the pulse.
Mr. Gu couldn’t wait to step forward and ask, "Brother Li, how is it? Please, tell us!"
Uncle Gu nodded repeatedly; he had been afraid to ask, fearing bad news.
"His injuries are quite severe; they’ve even affected his internal organs!" Doctor Li said gravely, sharing his diagnosis.
Gu Chengyu, upon hearing this, thought it shouldn’t be! He had given Gu Wanhua a pill, and after a while, also checked the pulse. The injuries were already improving. While they appeared severe now, the internal organs had actually healed, so at most, he’d have to stay in bed a bit longer. Gu Wanhua’s greatest fortune was taking the Revitalizing Pill imdiately after the injury; otherwise, his injuries couldn’t have improved this quickly.
But hearing Doctor Li’s words made him uncertain. Could it be that his recent dical studies were inadequate, leading to a wrong judgnt?
"What?" Uncle Gu, upon hearing this, started to faint.
"Hey? Hold him up! I haven’t finished speaking! What’s the rush?" Doctor Li quickly instructed Mr. Gu to support the falling Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu was just montarily overwheld, about to pass out, but Doctor Li pinched him awake.
"Why are you rushing? I haven’t finished speaking!" Doctor Li realized he’d caused concern with his initial words, but the following facts also puzzled him, so he didn’t pay attention as he thought and spoke simultaneously.
"However, it appears he has taken so miraculous dicine, which is currently repairing his internal organs. I’ll check again later; it shouldn’t be a major issue! If his internal organs recover, the external hard injuries will only need rest!" Doctor Li quickly explained the rest to prevent Uncle Gu from fainting from anxiety.
Uncle Gu let out a big sigh of relief at Doctor Li’s words. "Why do you speak so breathlessly? It’s really worrying!" Knowing that Gu Wanhua would be fine, he felt much relieved.
Gu Chengyu also twitched at the mouth, not expecting Doctor Li to be unreliable at tis.
"Oh, Ming Mo, why are you running so fast? I can’t keep up, I’m exhausted!" Gu Chengyu turned back to see it was his fourth brother.
Gu Chengchi had been learning dicine at Doctor Li’s ho. When Ming Mo urgently rushed to call Doctor Li, Gu Chengchi guessed that soone at ho was sick. How could he not be anxious? He imdiately chased after Ming Mo and ran back.
"Who is sick? Why the urgency?" Gu Chengchi entered the room, glanced at the person lying on the kang, and looked closer. "Huh? Isn’t this Hua? What happened to him? Was he beaten?"
Ming Mo quickly pulled Gu Chengchi aside to give him a brief explanation of the situation and advised him not to spread it, not even to other family mbers.
"Cough! I say, can’t soone tend to ?" Huang Ming couldn’t stand it anymore; his finger was in agony. At least let a doctor take a look at it?
Only then did Gu Chengyu rember that Huang Ming was still on the ground!
"Uncle Li! Please have a look at him! His finger has been broken!" Gu Chengyu couldn’t bear the sight of that severed finger bleeding continuously; it seed filthy to him!
After hearing this, Huang Ming broke into a cold sweat on his forehead. To distort the truth so brazenly, how could Gu Chengyu speak so self-righteously!
Only then did Doctor Li notice soone else lying on the ground. What was happening with the Gu family today? Both patients were seriously injured but weren’t from Mr. Gu’s house, yet they were being treated there.
Doctor Li unwrapped the cloth around Huang Ming’s finger, looking at the clean break, a shudder ran through his hand. This was clearly severed by a knife, right? He glanced at Huang Ming, who didn’t refute Gu Chengyu’s words. Doctor Li guessed there must be sothing concealed here, so it was better not to pry!
Having been a doctor for so many years, maintaining such discretion was exactly why so wealthy families preferred him for dical care.
Gu Chengyu watched Doctor Li apply dicine to Huang Ming’s finger and bandage it. As for the rest, since they were only superficial injuries, staying ho to recuperate would suffice. However, Huang Ming was too afraid to stay at Uncle Gu’s house; he insisted on staying with Doctor Li at his ho until his injuries improved before leaving.
"I’ll give you more silver. Please take in! My family is from Dalincun in Huaihe Town, and I have no relatives here. Uncle! Please have rcy on !" Huang Ming was terrified, afraid to stay at Uncle Gu’s house, fearing Uncle Gu might devour him with rage, and he dared not stay with Gu Chengyu, who wouldn’t allow it anyway.
But he couldn’t leave now; every movent brought him imnse pain.
Doctor Li looked around, seeing no objections from the Gu family, and with a doctor’s benevolent heart, reluctantly agreed!
After half an hour had passed, Doctor Li checked the pulse again, this ti confirming that Gu Wanhua only had external injuries left, which required rest to heal.
Gu Chengyu escorted Doctor Li to the courtyard gate, where Doctor Li looked at Gu Chengyu, hesitating to speak.
"Uncle Li, do you have sothing to ask ?" Actually, Gu Chengyu knew what Doctor Li wanted to ask, and he had already prepared a response. Doctor Li was sowhat obsessed with dicine, and such an opportunity wouldn’t be missed; he was surely eager to know what the dicine was!
"Xiao Bao! I’m sure you know what I want to ask. Do you have any more of that dicine?" Though embarrassed to ask directly, Doctor Li figured the dicine had to be expensive.
"I do have two more, but they are extrely precious, said to be refined from various rare dicinal ingredients, with even the aging being crucial, and it contains quite a few exceptionally rare herbs!" Gu Chengyu pulled out the dicine bottle from his sleeve.
"How much silver for one?" Doctor Li didn’t want to take advantage of Gu Chengyu; he planned to buy the pill and study it carefully.
"I got them through a stroke of luck, three pills in total, five hundred gold each!" As for the price, Gu Chengyu casually quoted it, aiming to highlight the rarity of the dicine to prevent everyone from asking him for it in the future, as he couldn’t yet produce them!
"What? That expensive?" Doctor Li exclaid in shock; it was too expensive! He couldn’t afford it! Then he could only shake his head with a sigh, ready to leave.
"Uncle Li, where are you going? I’ll give you one." Gu Chengyu took out a pill from the Jade Bottle and handed it to Doctor Li. If Doctor Li could indeed replicate the dicine, that would be his skill, albeit with the necessary materials being challenging to gather.
"I can’t accept it; it’s too precious!" Doctor Li wasn’t soone who typically took advantage of others.
