Chapter 125: Death from a Burst Body
Xiao Nuan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was a little out of shape.
She smiled reluctantly and said, "This batch of vaccines is related to more than 100 lives, and I can't personally participate in the project now, so I am very nervous......
Hong Lie's hand on her shoulder tightened, and the emotion in his eyes was suppressed: "It's okay, I understand." I brought you back without your consent, and I am responsible for this. Don't worry, no matter what the problem is, the doctor will solve it. ”
"Yes. Xiao Nuan nodded.
She looked at the rescue room hesitantly, and couldn't help but say for a moment: "Forget it, I'll go in and see if there is anything I can do to help." ”
"No, you can't go! He can't control himself at all now!" Hong Lie hurriedly stopped: "It's okay if he hurts me, I can't let him hurt you anymore." ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Nuan stared at Hong Lie for two seconds before noticing that there was some unusual redness and swelling around his nose.
She didn't even notice it just now!
Self-blame instantly enveloped Xiao Nuan's whole heart: "Ah Lie, I'm sorry, I ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, I know, you're a doctor, and your professional habits will make you see more seriously ill people first. ”
He smiled softly and warmly, but there was also a loss in his eyes that could not be hidden.
Xiao Nuan held his hand: "Thank you! Ah Lie! Don't worry, I am a doctor, and I know how to take care of myself." You go to the doctor first to take care of the wound, I'll go in and have a look, and I'll be out soon." ”
Hong Lie's smile froze on his face, and before he could say anything, Xiao Nuan had already tightened his hand and turned around and walked towards the emergency room.
He watched the nurse come out, watched the nurse take her to change her clothes and disinfect, and watched the nurse take her into the emergency door......
Sure enough, in this world, there are still crying children who can eat candy!
Hong Lie stared at her thin back and secretly clenched his fists.
......
Emergency room.
Xiao Nuan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the man who was fixed on the hospital bed with a strap by the doctor.
His clothes had been removed by the doctors, revealing smooth skin and tight muscles.
But both his muscles and skin showed a sickly red.
A piercing red, as if blood would spurt out at any moment.
And the blood vessels all over his body are like small blue and purple snakes, terrifyingly bulging on his skin.
Even the cheeks, which were originally sickly fair, were covered with bruise-purple blood vessel marks.
"Let it go...... Open...... I, let it go...... Open...... I ......"
He bared his teeth, and a creepy sound came out of his throat like the roar of a wild beast, as if something was crashing inside him, making him angry and mad, making every cell in his body scream and want to burst.
Even with the straps in place, he was constantly struggling with his fists, shaking the push bed to a clatter.
Xiao Nuan's eyes widened, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "Doctor Wogang, what's going on?"
Wo Gang wiped the sweat from his head and panted: "Blood has been drawn for testing, but it is not completely certain yet." His Royal Highness suspected that it was food poisoning, and based on this symptom analysis, we felt like we had been poisoned. ”
"Gu poison?" Xiao Nuan was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.
What she thought only existed in legends, but in reality?
Wo Gang nodded: "Yes, we have seen similar patients before. Of course, it's not entirely certain that it is. ”
Xiao Nuan gasped and looked at Huo Liting on the bed: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, can you hear me?"
The man's eyes followed the voice, his black pupils were deep, and his white eyes were covered with scarlet blood like bulging veins, as if he could faintly see something flowing.
But his eyes were hollow, cold and bloodthirsty, like a beast in the forest about to pounce on its prey.
Xiao Nuan's heart sank heavily.
She pursed her lips and softened her tone: "Ah Ting, Ah Ting, can you hear me?"
Familiar voices, familiar titles......
The man's body shook violently.
He did his best to shake the bloodthirsty thoughts out of his mind and force down the restlessness in his heart.
He looked at the source of the voice a little confused, and only after distinguishing those eyes did he regain some clarity: "Xiao Nuan......"
His voice was hoarse, and after struggling to squeeze out two words, he suddenly curled up again, as if trying to fight against the strange things in his body.
He gritted his teeth and endured in pain, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xiao Nuan's hand holding the bed frame tightened unconsciously.
She took a deep breath, kept her composure and said, "Ting, tell me, what did you eat tonight?
He's so smart, if you think about it, you might be able to find clues.
The man listened to her words and remembered obediently.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a splitting headache, as if tens of thousands of insects were biting and gnawing at his brain.
"Ahh
He let out a low cry of pain and tried to hold his head with his hands, but his hands were tied and he could only curl up with force.
He looked like a boiled shrimp, hunched back.
The flesh and skin, which were tied with the straps, had been deformed in the struggle, grinding out a blur of flesh and blood.
His voice was hoarse and low, and he repeated helplessly, "Help me...... Help me ......."
Xiao Nuan had never seen such a painful and helpless Huo Liting.
She couldn't bear to turn her face away, closed her eyes and ordered, "Give him stability." ”
"Yes. Doctor Wo Gang also had this intention, and hurriedly ordered the nurse to take the medicine.
A large dose of Valium pushed forward, and the man finally stopped struggling and fell into a deep sleep.
His brow was furrowed, and even in his dreams, he looked very uneasy.
The reddened skin and bulging blood vessels did not fade and disappear with the retrieval of his heartbeat and breathing, but became more active and terrifying.
Those beating blood vessels seem to have overwhelmed the speed of the heart's beating, and they may burst open at any moment.
Xiao Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Wo Gang anxiously: "Why is this happening? Can these things be above the normal body functions of people?"
Wo Gang nodded helplessly: "Yes." These things can be out of the control of the body's natural reactions. It can even be said that they exist to fight against the laws of nature. ”
Xiao Nuan's heart tightened.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Immediately call all the expert doctors back and consult with the patient." ”
"Yes. Wo Gang nodded and immediately turned around to do it.
Xiao Nuan thought for a while, and added: "It's best to have a certain understanding of Gu poison. ”
Wo Gang turned her back, and she could also feel the forced compromise in her tone, and said solemnly: "Understood." ”
Soon, there was only Xiao Nuan left in the emergency room.
She looked at Huo Liting on the bed, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows.
But as soon as her hand was raised, she silently retracted it.
She exhaled and turned to leave the emergency room.
Outside the emergency room, Hong Lie sat on a bench with Yuntian in his arms.
Seeing Xiao Nuan come out, he immediately got up to greet him: "Nuan Nuan, how is he?"
Xiao Nuan looked at him blankly, with a look of self-confidence and self-doubt in his eyes: "I don't know, I haven't had time to check his pulse yet." ”
The physical state presented after taking the diazepam was inaccurate, so she didn't do it.
"Doctor Wo Gang said that he may not be ordinary food poisoning, but may have been poisoned by Gu. ”
"Gu poison?" Hong Lie's eyes widened in shock.
Xiao Nuan lowered his eyes and nodded, his face was full of helplessness and confusion: "I have been in Qingbai Country for so many years, and I have never seriously understood Gu poison. I thought it was just a misinterpretation of you by the outside world, but I've seen it with my own eyes, and I know how terrifying and terrifying that thing is! The way he looked just now was ten times more terrifying than when PIP had a seizure!"
In her eyes, there was real fear, her long eyelashes trembled, and her whole body exuded intense anxiety and uneasiness.
Hong Lie frowned, and held her arm to help her sit down: "Don't worry, maybe not! I heard that Gu poison must personally contact someone who can grow Gu before it will be recruited." There shouldn't be such a person around Mr. Huo, right?"
"There are no people around him, but there are so many people at the banquet tonight...... Hey!" Xiao Nuan sighed and didn't say any more.
If she hadn't gambled with him and left early, maybe she would have been able to find some clues?
Hong Lie held her hand tightly, and said softly: "It's okay, even if it's really a Zhong Gu, don't be afraid, I will immediately gather the best Gu cultivation master in the country, and I will definitely do my best to save him." ”
Xiao Nuan didn't speak, she sat down at the moment, only to realize that her back was full of cold sweat.
Hong Lie pin the strand of broken hair in her ear behind her ear with pity: "You are tired, go back to rest with your son first, and leave it to me here." ”
Xiao Nuan shook his head: "No." I'm a doctor, and I know his condition better than you, so I have to stay here. You take Yuntian back to rest first, and I'll be back after consulting with the experts later. ”
As soon as Hong Lie was about to say something, he saw Cha Apeng hurriedly come in from outside.
Cha Apeng's face was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly saluted Xiao Nuan and Yun Tian, and then fell his burning gaze on Hong Lie: "Your Highness, my subordinates have something important to report to you." ”
Hong Lie patted the back of Xiao Nuan's hand soothingly, and then got up and walked out with Cha Apeng.
Seeing the automatic door closed, there was no one else around.
Yun Tian immediately jumped off the chair with a kick and stood in front of Xiao Nuan with small steps.
He looked at Xiao Nuan with a serious expression and said solemnly: "Mommy, do you hate him, hate him, or do you care about him?"
"Huh?"
Hearing him ask like this, Xiao Nuan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood from the afterglow of his glance towards the emergency room that the "he" in his mouth meant Huo Liting who was lying inside.
This little clever ghost, do you really know everything?
Xiao Nuan didn't know whether to be happy about his super high IQ or worried about his precocious emotional intelligence.
She chuckled helplessly and rubbed his head: "Baby, the matter of adults is very complicated, and Mommy can't explain it to you clearly for a while, so you don't care, okay?"
Yun Tian didn't speak, looking at her with bright eyes.
Xiao Nuan paused, and had to add: "Baby, Mommy is a doctor, and a doctor's duty is to treat diseases and save people." No matter what happened before, Mommy should and must save him. ”
Yun Tian's eyes blinked, and he nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand." ”
He turned his head to look out of the door, and saw that Hong Lie was turning to come in, so he said, "Mommy, then come on, I'll go back with Daddy first." ”
"Good, thank you baby!" Xiao Nuan got up and gently took his hand: "Mommy sent you." ”
Hong Lie came in, just as he was about to tell Xiao Nuan that he had something to leave temporarily, and when he heard the words, he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Then let's go back first, you pay attention to rest, don't be too tired." ”
"Rest assured, I know how to take care of myself. Xiao Nuan nodded and put his son's hand into his hand.
As soon as the three of them walked to the door side by side, Wo Gang hurriedly chased out of the office: "Madam, the expert has arrived." ”
"Okay, I'll be right here. ”
Xiao Nuan responded, looking at Yun Tian and Hong Lie: "Slow down on the road and rest early." ”
Hong Lie smiled and nodded, and Yun Tian also nodded obediently.
seems to be a calm and warm picture, but there is a faint melancholy flowing inexplicably, extremely fine and fast.
It was so fast that Xiao Nuan didn't have time to catch it.
She waved at them and hurried to join Dr. Wogang.
Hong Lie looked at her back, his eyes sank.
......
Conference room.
Several experts looked at the inspection report in their hands, and after exchanging opinions in a low voice, they all showed solemn expressions.
Xiao Nuan got up, propped his hands on the edge of the table and said solemnly: "Everyone, you are not only the medical authority of the Qingbai Kingdom, but you are also very good at Gu science. Now that the patient's condition is critical, we are mentally prepared, and we ask everyone to tell the truth and give us advice. ”
Doctor Wo Gang cooperatively echoed: "Elder He, Elder Cha, seniors, Mrs. is also a person who understands medicine, just say what you have to say." ”
Several experts glanced at each other, and they all stopped talking.
In the end, He Lao, who was still sitting at the end of the long table, coughed lightly and said, "According to our diagnosis, this Mr. Huo has indeed been poisoned. ”
Since they can be so sure, there may be a solution.
Wo Gang gave Xiao Nuan a reassuring look, and immediately flattered: "Elder He, you are a master of the Gu academic world, is there a way to remove this Gu?"
Elder He shook his head resolutely: "No." ”
Wo Gang was stunned.
Xiao Nuan's heart that was about to be put down was instantly raised: "Then everyone here, is there a way to relieve it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Xiao Nuan's brows furrowed: "If you need any rare medicinal materials or medicinal sources, no matter how much, we can provide them." ”
She had heard someone say that the general Gu poison needs to be solved by the person who has placed the Gu himself, but there are also some powerful masters who have unique secret methods that can remove most of the Gu poisons, but they need to pay a very big price.
He Lao shook his head, stroked his gray beard and explained, "Madam, it's not that we refuse to solve the Gu for this Mr. Huo. Before coming, we had already heard Wo Gang say that this Mr. Huo was the king's distinguished guest and the noble person of our entire Qingbai country. If we can solve this Gu, even if we lose our lives, we will never refuse. But what Mr. Huo is in now is not an ordinary Gu poison, but NO.1. ”
"NO.1?" Xiao Nuan raised his eyebrows in shock: "Why does this name sound perfunctory?"
Wo Gang took a deep breath: "Madam, this is not the name of Gu Poison, but the code name of this Gu Poison. ”
His eyes were filled with a look of depression: "This Gu poison has only appeared in China in the past two years, but since the appearance of this Gu poison, for two whole years, there has been no Gu poison whose poisonous properties have surpassed it." It is said that it is the king of Gu kings who put thousands of poisonous insects from all over the world together, fight the surviving insect kings, and then feed on the most poisonous insects.
Other Gu worms are getting bigger and bigger, only it grows bigger and smaller, and when it can be used for poisoning, it has often shrunk to the point that it is invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, it can reach the point of killing people and poisoning, colorless and invisible. ”
Xiao Nuan's hand on the edge of the table tightened, she swallowed with difficulty, and looked at several experts almost as if asking for help: "What is the patient's current condition?"
Elder He sighed and said, "According to our observations, the Gu poison has now penetrated into Mr. Huo's bloodline. This kind of Gu poison is very toxic, and it spreads extremely fast, if the person who is under the Gu can't get the antidote within seven days, then this Mr. Huo will definitely burst his whole body and die. The bulging large blood vessels, the capillaries that filled the skin, including his internal organs, would all burst open......"
"Say no more, don't say it again. As long as Xiao Nuan thought of that picture, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and mouth, and gastric juice in his chest surged.
Her face turned pale in an instant, her body was shaky, and she could barely stand firm by propping up the table.
Wo Gang hurriedly went over to help her sit down: "Madam, don't worry, you will do it again, you will definitely do it again." ”
Yes, there will definitely be a way to figure it out.
Can't mess up, she definitely can't mess up!
If she is messed up now, then Huo Liting will be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nuanqiang cheered up and suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart: "Seniors, please think about it again, is there any other way to save him? He is attending the banquet today as a special ambassador of country Z, and he must not have an accident in our Qingbai country." ”
"Madam, if we can save it, we will definitely do our best, but there is really no way!"
Elder He's face was full of sighs: "What I just told you is by no means alarmist. We Qingbai have a thousand-year-old Gu culture heritage, and new Gu poisons come out every year, every month, or even every day. Gu poison like NO.1 can be said to be the topic that various Gu researchers are most interested in. Every day, I don't know how many people are trying to find a way to solve this Gu poison, and some people even don't hesitate to test the poison themselves......"
He paused and continued: "But what about the result? Not a single one survived! And their final deaths were extremely tragic, all of them were blurred with flesh and blood, and there were no corpses!"
When Elder He's words fell, everyone lowered their heads, and in the entire conference room, there was only a heavy sigh.
A chill to the bones hit from all directions.
Xiao Nuan clenched the armrest of the chair, and felt that he was in the ice and snow.
She couldn't find allies, let alone a way out.
"Is there no other way? There is no way at all? Even if there is no way to detoxify, is there no way to suppress and delay the onset of poison?"
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, humbly searching for a glimmer of hope.
I have known Xiao Nuan for more than five years, and it was the first time for Wo Gang to see her so out of shape, so he hurriedly poured her a glass of water: "Madam, you drink saliva first and take a rest." ”
After appeasing Xiao Nuan, he called several experts to discuss again: "Mr. Huo is the uncle of Yuntian Xiao Wangsun, the elder brother of Madame, and the nobleman of our Qingbai Kingdom, please think of a way again." ”
Holding the hot water cup in his hand, Xiao Nuan felt that his body warmed up a little bit.
By the time she stabilized her emotions, the experts' discussions were basically coming to an end.
Elder He concluded: "Madam, we have seen in the cases of pioneers before, someone has tried to use the antibiotics of your country Z to suppress the onset time of Gu poison, which has played a role in delaying, we can try it on Mr. Huo as a rule." ”
Xiao Nuan nodded: "Okay, then try, I'll immediately follow the medicine list and let the laboratory prepare." ”
Zha Lao said: "Madam, it is rumored that there is a hundred-year-old Gu God living on Qingbai Mountain, the holy mountain of our Qingbai Country, and his obsession with Gu art can be said to have reached the point of being supernatural. If he can be found to help, Huo Xian's chances of surviving should be greater. ”
"Then I'll send someone to invite you right away. Xiao Nuan stood up eagerly.
Zha Lao hurriedly stopped: "Madam, I'm afraid it will be too late." The Gu God lives alone all the year round, and his whereabouts are mysterious, he often searches for insects and herbs all over Qingbai Mountain, if he just sends someone to find him, I'm afraid that before he finds someone, Mr. Huo will not be able to hold on. Moreover, Gu God's personality is very withdrawn, and curing diseases and saving people also depends on his mood. ”
"What then?" Xiao Nuan's brows furrowed.
Wo Gang interjected: "Even if it's hard, try it." Although there have been many people who have died over the years because the Gu God refused to help, there are still some who he has not survived because of his rescue. But overall, his Gu technique is unmatched in China, as long as it can give Mr. Huo a chance of life, we have to try it. ”
Xiao Nuan clenched his fists and affirmed: "Yes, as long as there is a glimmer of life, we will also try." Zha Lao, do you have a specific address there?"
"Yes. Zha Lao immediately flipped through the information, wrote down the address for Xiao Nuan, and drew a brief map.
"Madam, the mountain road is difficult, and it will definitely take a lot of time to find someone, I suggest you take Mr. Huo directly, so that if the Gu God is willing to make a move, then it can save Mr. Huo a lot of time. ”
"Okay, thank you!" Xiao Nuan happily took the address and bowed solemnly to everyone: "Thank you! I will form a group to take him off as soon as possible, if you think of other ways, feel free to contact me or Wo Gang, I Xiao Nuan is here, thank you in advance!"
"Madame, I'm going to call the paramedics right now. Wo Gang said excitedly.
After receiving Xiao Nuan's nod in agreement, he immediately turned around and walked out of the conference room.
As she spoke, she bowed solemnly again.
Several experts lovingly told a few words of precautions, and then got up one after another to say goodbye.
Xiao Nuan personally sent them to the gate of the hospital, watched them get in the car and leave, and bowed solemnly to thank them.
Until the car disappeared into the dark night, Xiao Nuan was still standing in place in a daze.
The dark night covered the sky like thick ink, and a few sparse starlights seemed like she had no choice to find a way out.
A cold wind blew through her, ruffling her long hair.
The dim street lamps elongated her thin figure, making her whole person look extremely lonely.
The sound of the waves followed the night wind, and it seemed to come out of nowhere, pulling her mind back to five years ago......
