Chapter Forty-Eight: Taking Gu
[Chapter 48 - Taking Gu] I can't even wash rice, what should I do
"Hit Gu?" Nanmo Xie frowned.
Duan Baiyue said, "Master, do you know what the Moon Ming Gu is?" β
Nan Moye nodded: "I saw it when I was young, but it wasn't interesting, so I didn't raise it." β
"There's an old man in this palace." Duan Baiyue said, "I know a lot of old things about the Chaoya clan, like I've been there. β
"Oh?" Nanmo said, "Then does he know about the Burning Star?" β
Duan Baiyue nodded, glanced at Chu Yuan, and said, "The Moon Ming Gu can make the Burning Star glow, and the glowing Burning Star can awaken the Blue Fire Fish in the Sea, follow the direction of the Blue Fire Fish School, and you will be able to find half of the treasure map that the Chaoya Clan's hearts and minds are thinking about." β
"Only half a sheet?" Nanmo shook his head evilly, "It's also worth fighting to the death." β
"I'll talk about this later, but I'm not in a hurry." Duan Baiyue said, "Since Master has seen the Moon Ming Gu, he knows how to force it out if he thinks about it. β
"The Moon Ming Gu is not as dangerous as the golden silkworm thread, and it won't hurt people, don't say it's you, even if it's a pharmacist in the southwest mansion, you can take it out lightly." Nanmo said, "For the old man's eyes, you still have to do such things yourself." β
Duan Baiyue nodded: "It's okay." β
Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was just taking a Gu worm, not to cook the purple toad and eat it.
After leaving the purple toad behind, Nan Mo Xie went outside with Duan Yao, and Sixi Gonggong was waiting in the courtyard, and greeted him happily after seeing the two of them: "Duan Xiao Wangye, Nan senior." "It turns out that the master of the King of the Southwest is Bai Laicai, who rescued him in Yunshui City that day, if this is the case, it is good, kiss and kiss.
"You're going to take it." Chu Yuan stretched out his finger and pointed to the table, "What are you used for?" β
"The purple toad is no ordinary toad." Duan Baiyue opened the medicine box.
Chu Yuan said: "You don't need to say it, you can see it by looking at it." "Ordinary toads, who can grow into such a color, purple and black, smooth and greasy, feel like they will rot their hands when they touch it.
"Won't let it touch you." Duan Baiyue said, "Just take some venom." β
Chu Yuan said, "Oh." β
"After all, Gu worms are not ordinary insects, they have been in the body for more than ten years, and they will have some impact." Duan Baiyue said, "And when you take the Gu, you need to use the venom of the purple toad, although the amount is very small, it is always β‘β‘, add it in two, you may have a fever and discomfort in the next few days, just get through it." β
Chu Yuan nodded: "It's okay." β
"I'll be with you all the time." Duan Baiyue held his hand, leaned over to his mouth and kissed it, "Don't be afraid." β
Chu Yuan looked at him and smiled.
Duan Baiyue took out a silver needle, pinched the purple toad, poked it on its back, and took out some venom.
"Quack!" The purple toad was dissatisfied, and its four fat legs stretched straight.
Chu Yuan unconsciously stepped back.
"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little numb." Duan Baiyue said, "It will be fine in an hour at most." β
Chu Yuan nodded, and after taking off his shirt, he lay on the bed and looked at him sideways.
Duan Baiyue sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.
Chu Yuan dodged lazily and said, "A doctor like you, I'm afraid that you will be twisted to the official mansion outside." β
Duan Baiyue smiled, took a silver needle in his right hand, and gently pressed the side of the hard bag on his back with his left thumb.
Chu Yuan closed his eyes.
Duan Baiyue took some purple toad venom with a needle and slowly pierced it along the skin.
It really doesn't hurt, on the contrary, it's quite comfortable. Just thinking of the big fat toad, Chu Yuan still trembled unconsciously.
"Huh?" Duan Baiyue stopped what he was doing.
"It's fine." Chu Yuan's chin rested on the back of his hand, "It's a little numb." β
Duan Baiyue was relieved, took another silver needle, and gently turned it and pierced it.
Afraid that he would hurt, Duan Baiyue's movements have always been very gentle and gentle. Duan Yao in the courtyard yawned for a long time, thinking that it was not over yet, if something had happened. But if you think about it, it seems that it shouldn't beβafter all, if something really happened, his brother should rush out with a disgraced face, and he definitely shouldn't be so quiet.
Nan Moye said beside him: "In the face of your beloved, you naturally have to be more careful. β
Duan Yao nodded first when he heard this, thinking about it and being sad and indignant, then why did the master and elder brother seem to have no patience at all when they accidentally fell into the Gu, one pressed the foot and the other pricked the needle, and in three or two strokes, in addition to the Gu worms, there were no steps to even the injured area!
"Okay, after another cup of tea, I will pull out the silver needle." Duan Baiyue half-knelt beside the bed, "Is it uncomfortable?" β
Chu Yuan shook his head: "I don't have any sense." β
"The venom of the purple toad has an anesthetic effect, and it will be fine in three or two days." Duan Baiyue said, "If it doesn't hurt, it's fine." β
Chu Yuan held his hand on the pillow, and after a while, pulled it over a little more and put his chin up.
Duan Baiyue smiled and stayed with him quietly.
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and after taking out those silver needles, there were indeed seven or eight tiny silver nematodes wrapped around them, and the hair was ordinary and extremely fine.
Chu Yuan don't overdo it.
Duan Baiyue took out a small white porcelain jar and sealed those Gu worms tightly.
Chu Yuan frowned when he saw this: "Don't burn it?" β
"The matter of the Chaoya clan has not been completely resolved, so let's stay for a few days." Duan Baiyue helped him up, "It's not too late to burn it later." β
Chu Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Whatever you want." β
"Two days after tomorrow, I won't be allowed to go anywhere, and I will leave the rest of the people to deal with big things." Duan Baiyue put on his underwear for him, "Lie down and rest for two days." β
"I don't feel anything in my waist, where else can I go." Chu Yuan leaned against the head of the bed, "You said earlier that Tu Bujie can also make the Burning Star glow, so it means that he also has this Moon Song Gu in his body?" β
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Ten have*." β
"Could it be that he could be a Tidecliff?" Chu Yuan asked, "Or have you been there." β
"Not really." Duan Baiyue said, "Senior Tu is a native of Chu, and he is also a fellow villager with Brother Gu, his ancestral home is Jiangxi, and he has been imprisoned in the southwest palace for more than ten years. β
"Then it was only the last time, he went to kill for Xu Zhiqiu's bounty, and had a brief contact with the Chaoya clansmen." Chu Yuan said, "Caught the Gu during the fight? β
Duan Baiyue said: "It's possible. β
Chu Yuan was still frowning.
Duan Baiyue stretched out a finger, gently pressed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I just took out the Gu worm, and I won't rest for a while." β
"I'm not sleepy." Chu Yuan looked at him, "If that's the case, then it can at least explain one thing, when the old man of the Chaoya Clan committed suicide, he didn't destroy all the Moon Ming Gu. Among the Chaoya people who lived in the palace this time, at least one of them still had the Moon Singing Gu in their hands, and when they fought with Tu Bujie that day, they either intentionally or unintentionally planted it in his body. The rest of the population may be aware of this, or they may be kept in the dark altogether. β
Duan Baiyue said: "Intrigue with each other is not uncommon for them. β
"Is Tu Bujie coming?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "Still in the Wangcheng Inn, I will send someone back to pick it up, and then I will see if there is a Moon Ming Gu in his body like you." β
Chu Yuan nodded.
"I'll go and ask Sixi to prepare some hot water and wipe your face and rinse your mouth for you." Duan Baiyue said, "Then let's sleep well, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning, huh?" β
Chu Yuan said: "It's still early. β
"I can't move, and if I don't sleep, I have to approve the folds." Duan Baiyue rubbed his head, turned around and walked out.
The three people in the courtyard stood up together.
Duan Baiyue: "......"
"How is the emperor?" Sixi's father-in-law asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay, it's just that I'm infected with some purple toad venom, my waist and legs are numb, and I will be fine if I rest for a night." β
Sixi's father-in-law nodded again and again.
"Please prepare some hot water." Duan Baiyue said, "The hotter the better." β
Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly went out to order.
Duan Baiyue returned the purple toad to Duan Yao, and then said, "The courtyard next door is empty, let's go and rest early." β
Nanmo looked at him with a meaningful look.
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "If Master doesn't want to rest, then go to the street, and no one will stop him." β
Nan Mo Xie said in a low voice: "Such a heaven-sent opportunity, don't say that you still want to live up to it, do you want Hehuan Gu?" β
Duan Baiyue turned around and went back to the room.
Nanmo's eyes were earnest, and he was very much looking forward to the apprentice coming back halfway.
Duan Baiyue closed the door with his backhand.
Nanmo Evil: "......"
As for why he taught such a righteous gentleman, even if he dies seven or eight times, he may not come up with a reasonable explanation.
Sixi's father-in-law quickly sent hot water, Duan Baiyue wrung the towel, warmed all the places where the needles had been pricked, and put on the ointment before putting down his clothes.
"My hands are red." Chu Yuan said.
"It's only hot that it works, so that tomorrow it won't be swollen." Duan Baiyue sat on the side of the bed and said, "The skin is rough and the meat is thick, and it won't burn it." β
Chu Yuan took his hand, leaned over to his mouth and kissed it.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's worth the burning." β
"Tomorrow, Master Taifu originally had something to say, if he saw me lying motionless on the bed, I was afraid that he would be shocked again." Chu Yuan said, "There are a lot of imperial doctors with you, what excuse do you want to fool them?" β
"There are many strange diseases in this world, don't say it's a doctor, even if it's the Lord of Ye Valley, you may not be able to know everything." Duan Baiyue said while waiting for him to rinse his mouth, "Just let Sixi tell that Master Tao, just say that you approved the overnight break, and the next morning your waist and legs will be numb, see if he dares to press you with the emperor all the time in the future." β
Chu Yuan thought for a while: "Well, this excuse is good. β
"Is there a reward?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Nope." Chu Yuan pressed his fingers against the tip of his nose, "Don't come over." β
"Really, no?" Duan Baiyue grabbed his wrist, "Beware of the Frontier King's rebellion to show you." β
Chu Yuan smiled and dodged, sent the person to wash his face, and leaned against the head of the bed to look at him.
After washing up with the remaining hot water, Duan Baiyue lay beside him and let people pillow on his arm.
Chu Yuan asked, "Have Nan seniors and Yao'er rested?" β
"Sixi has already taken them to the small courtyard next door." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't worry. β
"Have breakfast together tomorrow morning?" Chu Yuan looked at him.
"Okay." Duan Baiyue agreed.
"What do Nan seniors and Yao'er like to eat?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.
Duan Baiyue said: "Worm." β
Chu Yuan punched him: "Speak well!" β
"I didn't even ask what I like to eat." Duan Baiyue turned over and pressed the person down.
"Do you want to ask?" Chu Yuan's fingers wrapped around a strand of his hair: "Red drunken pig's trotters, eight-treasure duck, pork ribs with soy sauce, hot and sour beef, three fresh fish soup pots, hot and sour tofu, this is the only vegetarian dish you love to eat." β
Duan Baiyue's heart was hot: "You ......"
"Do you know what I like to eat?" Chu Yuan asked and patted his chest
Duan Baiyue thought about it, and her heart was weak and calm: "Green vegetables." β
Chu Yuan looked at him and smiled: "Green vegetables? β
"I'm wrong." Duan Baiyue coughed twice and held his hand, "I'll ask Sixi what you like to eat tomorrow, and then go to learn from the same teacher, huh?" β
Chu Yuan said: "Don't do your job. β
"How can you be a bad business." Duan Baiyue said, "Look, you don't know how to cook, and when you get old in the future, you can only be in charge of the spoon, and you wash the rice." β
Chu Yuan confessed: "Rice can't be washed." β
The king of the southwest was very worried, and married a stupid daughter-in-law, and even eating would be a problem in the future.
The two were still leaning together before, and they didn't say a word, but Chu Yuan slowly felt a little dizzy, so he closed his eyes and buried his face in his arms. Duan Baiyue didn't sleep much all night, his hand was on his forehead from time to time, but the temperature of his palm was getting hotter and hotter, although it was a normal reaction, it was expected, but he was still inevitably worried. The next morning, I called Sixi and asked me to prepare some ice cubes and thick hand towels.
Chu Yuan coughed wrapped in the quilt.
Duan Baiyue wrapped three or four layers of ice cubes, and then put them on his forehead to help him cool down. Chu Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he really looked like he was catching a cold.
After Tao Rende finished breakfast, he went to the imperial study in the palace to wait, ready to continue to discuss political affairs with the emperor. Who knew that Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly came to spread the word, saying that the emperor was sick and was lying on the bed.
"Sick again?" Tao Rende was worried, "Have you asked the doctor to check?" β
"Master Huitao, I've already checked." Sixi is fair, "The imperial doctor said that the emperor has been too tired from worrying about political affairs recently, and he stayed up too late yesterday, so he couldn't bear it, he was infected with wind and cold and numbness all over his body, so he only took acupuncture and moxibustion on time, and he would be fine if he slept for two more days." β
"I wonder if this official can go with his father-in-law to visit the emperor?" Tao Rende was even more worried when he heard this, why was he still numb.
"Nature." Sixi's father-in-law bowed, "Your Excellency, please." β
In the dormitory, Chu Yuan was taking the medicine sent by Duan Baiyue spoonful by spoonful. Due to the effect of the purple toad, his arm was a little sore when he got up this morning, but it was not so hard that he couldn't move, but it was really hard to dress and wash, so he simply lay down and was served, and experienced what it was like to be a faint gentleman.
Duan Baiyue said: "Is it bitter? β
Chu Yuan said: "It's okay." β
Duan Baiyue asked, "Eat some sugar?" β
Chu Yuan said: "Okay." β
Duan Baiyue got up and went to the next door, and came back a moment later, holding a small paper bag.
Chu Yuan was puzzled: "There are candied fruits on the table." β
"This is the zongzi candy I bought from Aunt Feng's mother-in-law when I went outside the city a few days ago." Duan Baiyue opened one and fed it to him, "It's said to be delicious." β
Chu Yuan sipped it with the tip of his tongue: "Well, it's not too sweet, it has a sesame fragrance." β
"Originally, I wanted to give it all to the seniors of the Beixing Palace, although I don't know what happened back then, but I can also see that he should like that Aunt Feng, and this candy should be given to him." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that when I thought about it later, when I was buying candy, I said that I was going to take it home to coax my daughter-in-law, so I have to let you taste it, right?" β
Chu Yuan's face stiffened.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Is it sweet or not?" β
Chu Yuan grabbed his cheeks with both hands and twisted it vigorously.
Duan Baiyue's expression was distorted, and she almost drooled.
Why are you so ruthless......
