Du Wenhao went downstairs and saw a stranger outside the door who was dressed up, not like an ordinary person, but saw that the person seemed to be a little anxious, pacing back and forth outside the door.

Du Wenhao walked up to the man, and the man was still walking back and forth, so Du Wenhao said, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Only then did the man find that there was a person standing in front of him, so he quickly stopped, was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "You are Du Yunfan, Mr. Du?" ”

Du Wenhao nodded yes.

The man looked at the crowd in the Wuwei Hall and was full of people, so he whispered, "Please take a step forward to speak." ”

Du Wenhao said: "Then let's go to the backyard of Wuwei Hall to talk." With that, he led the man into the backyard.

When he arrived in the backyard, the man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Du Wenhao with both hands, and said, "Sir, it was sent by Master Gu below, this is a letter from Lord Gu to Mr., let me hand it over to Mr. ”

Du Wenhao opened the letter and asked, "Which Gu adult?" ”

The man whispered, "Lord Tobe Shangshugu." ”

Du Wenhao sighed, unfolded the letter and looked at it, his brows immediately wrinkled together, and after reading it, the man said in a low voice: "If Mr. has finished reading it, according to Lord Gu's orders, this letter must be destroyed immediately." ”

Du Wenhao nodded and handed the letter to the man, who lit the letter with a scythe, until it turned into a black butterfly and fell, and he stepped on the ground twice before stopping.

Du Wenhao said: "Then when should we leave?" ”

The man said: "The sooner the better, Miss Gu is in danger." ”

Du Wenhao nodded and said, "It's okay, you let me go and explain a few words to my wife, and I'll go with you." ”

The man said, "Sir doesn't need to bring anything, our carriage is waiting outside the door." ”

Du Wenhao nodded and walked towards the store.

"What? Yan Zi is sick? When did it happen, and why did you have to go? Lin Qingdai said in astonishment.

Du Wenhao said: "Looking at Gu Xiaotian's meaning, it shouldn't be lying, besides, although he didn't say what Zi'er was sick in his letter, his earnest tone was enough to show that he didn't laugh, it seems that I have to go." ”

Lin Qingdai hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I go with you." ”

Du Wenhao said as he was already out of the door, and saw that there was really a four-horse carriage outside the door, and the person who delivered the letter to Du Wenhao saw Du Wenhao come out, so he quickly put down the horse pedal and bowed to wait.

Du Wenhao walked to the front of the car, turned around and said: "No need, there are a lot of things at home now, I am gone, it is all up to you, Ke Yao can't take care of it now, so you have to work harder here." ”

Lin Qingdai nodded, and came out with a medicine box, and the man said, "Sir, there is no need to bring this, there is everything in the house." ”

Lin Qingdai glanced at the man, carefully put the medicine box on the car, and said coldly: "Our master is used to bringing the medicine box by himself, and you have everything in the capital, so why do you still ask our master to go to see the granddaughter of Lord Gu?" ”

The man was robbed by Lin Qingdai, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to put the medicine box in the car, and then said softly: "Sir, can you go?" ”

Du Wenhao nodded, got into the car, and saw Lin Qingdai's reluctance, so he comforted: "Go back, don't worry." ”

Lin Qingdai's eyes were red, but she was afraid of tears, thinking that it was an unlucky sign, so she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, I know." Seeing that the carriage gradually disappeared from sight, Lin Qingdai and Hantou turned back.

Du Wenhao thought that he would rest overnight in Xiaojiazhuang, so that he could go to meet Zhao Kang and Fu Gedong for a while, but unexpectedly, the carriage just changed four horses at the official post outside Xiaojiazhuang, and then simply ate a meal and set off.

Du Wenhao didn't ask much, along the way, two people drove in front of the car, one slept in the car, the carriage was speeding all the way, Du Wenhao was worried that he would meet bandits when walking at night, but he didn't expect that the road was safe all the way, and after driving for twelve hours, the sky went from light to dark, and then from dark to bright, Du Wenhao woke up from his sleep and found that the carriage had stopped, and the sound outside the car was noisy.

Du Wenhao felt that after a day and a night in the car, his body was about to fall apart, so he jumped out of the car, looked around and didn't see the person, saw a stall selling noodles on the side, and felt a little hungry, so he sat down and asked for a bowl of noodles, there was no one in the stall, so Du Wenhao talked to the owner of the noodle stall.

I asked to know that this is a place called Luan Town, because of the kite making is good and named, and then I asked the original place is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, it seems that the speed is really fast.

Soon the noodles were served, Du Wenhao didn't care where the person went, he just buried his head in eating noodles, and soon finished eating, wiped his mouth, and didn't see anyone coming, so he felt a little strange.

"Little brother, did you see the person driving in my carriage?" Du Wenhao asked.

The boss of facial paralysis is a young man, seeing that Du Wenhao is dressed well, but he looks very easy-going, at this time there is no business in the noodle stall, and it is good to have someone to chat with, so he replied: "The guest officer is talking about the person who is about the same age as you?" ”

Du Wenhao said: "Exactly. ”

"Your car has been parked here for almost half an hour, I thought there was no one in the car, I think he is in a hurry, there should be something urgent."

Du Wenhao realized that he didn't even know what that person's surname was, just with a letter, he hurriedly followed the family for a day and a night, thinking about it was really funny, fortunately he was not a good woman, otherwise it would not be necessary for people to sell it.

Du Wenhao had to sit there and chat with the boss, and after another stick of incense, he saw the man hurrying over with a package.

"What's wrong with the gentleman? Must be hungry, right? The little one took the gentleman to find a place to eat first. The man walked up to Du Wenhao and said.

Du Wenhao was about to give money for noodles, but the man quickly took out ten dollars and put it on the noodle stall, Du Wenhao said: "Give another twenty wen." ”

The man hurriedly gave another twenty wen, and the owner of the noodle stall thanked Du Wenhao repeatedly.

Du Wenhao said: "If it weren't for this little brother accompanying me, I feel that I am no different from the lonely ghost." ”

The man hurriedly smiled and said, "What I said is that it's all small." Seeing Du Wenhao's gloomy face, he followed Du Wenhao to the front of the car, and then explained in a low voice: "Don't be angry, sir, the little one just doesn't dare to disturb Mr., and I hope Mr. will forgive me." ”

Du Wenhao looked at the man and said, "What kind of person are you Gu Xiaotian, I followed you for such a long time without saying a word, I don't even know what your name is." ”

The man heard that Du Wenhao actually called Gu Xiaotian by his name, and remembered that before leaving, Lord Gu told him not to lose his manners, and he thought that he was a slightly famous doctor, but later saw that Du Wenhao called Gu Xiaotian's name like this, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and quickly bowed down and said: "The little one is the steward of Gu Xiaotian's house, named Gu San'er, and Mr. calls me San'er." ”

Du Wenhao smiled indifferently: "Oh, where are you going in the future, it's best to tell me, if there is such a thing as today, I won't wait for you, I'll leave by myself." ”

Gu San'er hurriedly replied: "Yes, the little one doesn't dare anymore, and asks Mr. to get in the car." ”

Du Wenhao got into the car, looked at the things in Gu San'er's hands, and looked heavy, so he said, "You just put me here for an hour for this thing?" ”

Gu San'er said: "This is the three boxes of thousand-year-old ginseng that Lord Gu asked the small one to fetch, saying that it was for Miss Gu to hang her life, and the little one didn't dare to slack off, so it delayed the hour, since Mr. has eaten, see if we can continue to hurry, and strive to arrive tonight." ”

Du Wenhao said: "Of course, saving people's lives is important. ”

Gu San'er said: "Thank you for your kindness, then you are done, and the little one will drive away." ”

The carriage left Luan Town and sped towards the east.

The ancient family of the capital.

Gu Xiaotian seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and the gray hair on his temples had increased a lot, and he was the only one wandering back and forth in a huge hall.

"Old man......"

Gu Xiaotian quickly turned around when he heard the voice, walked quickly to the door, and said loudly, "Did Du Yunfan pick it up?" ”

"No...... No, it was Dr. Zhao from Tai Hospital who came just now and said...... Say yes, Miss Zi'er's illness is ......"

"What are you afraid of? Don't hurry up yet! ”

"I'm afraid I can't go back to heaven."

Gu Xiaotian listened, and put a foot on the leg of the subordinate, and the man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head and tremble.

Gu Xiaotian said angrily: "Why don't you send someone out of the city to take a look, what are you doing kneeling here?" ”

The servant quickly staggered to his feet, turned around and ran out.

Gu Yifei walked over and saw his father standing at the door with a blue face and his hands behind his back without speaking, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, I heard that you haven't slept for two days, haven't eaten anything, and drank a little water, how can this work?" ”

Gu Xiaotian sighed and said, "Don't worry about me, how is Zi'er?" ”

Gu Yifei glanced at Gu Xiaotian, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's not very good, since Gu San'er left, he hasn't woken up until now, and Hualuo has always been by his side, and he has never closed his eyes." ”

Gu Xiaotian thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Have you found out?" ”

Gu Yifei looked around, leaned closer and replied in a low voice: "Father, don't be anxious, this matter depends on the son, Zi'er is still fine when she goes out in the morning, I have also carefully asked the maids and subordinates up and down the house, in addition to the personal maids and mother-in-law who serve Zi'er, the people in the kitchen and the people in the room have not let go, and let people look carefully in our house, and have not found any suspicious points, it should not be something in the house." ”

Gu Xiaotian said: "That's strange, Zi'er was with me that day, how could she ......?"

Gu Yifei said: "My son also feels strange, Zi'er is fourteen years old, not a child, how can he swallow gold for no reason?" ”

Gu Xiaotian said: "Have you asked the Imperial Doctor carefully?" Is it indeed a gold swallow? ”

Gu Yifei nodded solemnly and said, "Not only did Imperial Physician Zhao say so, but even Imperial Physician Feng definitely said so. ”

Gu Xiaotian was speechless, because Imperial Physician Feng was the imperial physician who had been treating the emperor, and he said yes, is it still fake? But why did Zi'er swallow gold?

Just when Gu Xiaotian was frowning, the housekeeper ran over and said happily: "Master, Mr. Du has arrived!" ”

Gu Xiaotian listened, raised his hand, and said, "Don't hurry up and invite in." ”

Du Wenhao just got out of the car, and saw the father and son of the Gu family hurriedly walking out of the door, so he stepped forward.

Gu Xiaotian grabbed Du Wenhao's hand tightly, and the corners of his mouth first moved violently a few times before he said excitedly: "I finally looked forward to you, I'm really afraid that you won't come." ”

Gu Yifei said: "Brother Xian is willing to come, it really helps a lot." ”

Du Wenhao said: "The letter didn't say what Zi'er's illness was, it only said that it was very serious, how dare I slack off." ”

Gu Yifei said: "Let's talk while walking, let's go see Zi'er first." After speaking, he helped Du Wenhao carry the medicine box.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Du Wenhao did not refuse, and the three of them entered the door as they spoke. 、

Gu Xiaotian said: "I don't know why Zi'er swallowed gold now, is it because I can't think about it?" But what can't you think of? Yun Fan, are you blaming me for kicking her mother out of the house, or ......"

Gu Yifei said: "Father, don't think nonsense first, it's not too late to wait for Yunfan to see Zi'er before anything else." ”

When Du Wenhao heard that Zi'er was swallowing gold, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Are you sure it's swallowing gold?" ”

Gu Xiaotian was about to speak, when he saw a maid running over, crying, and said, "Master, hurry up and take a look, Miss Zi'er woke up and rolled on the bed in pain." ”

When Du Wenhao heard this, he said, "Where is it, take me quickly." So saying, he urged the maid to trot herself towards a courtyard.

"Mother, I don't want to live, I want pain, I'm about to die of pain, you give me a knife, let me stab myself to death, please, mother......"

Du Wenhao almost rushed into the door, only to see a girl in a white dress rolling around on the bed, Gu Hualuo stood there with tears on her face, not knowing what to do, just comforting.

Du Wenhao stepped forward, grabbed Yan Zi's small hands that were scratching in the air, looked at her sweat and painful expression, couldn't help but feel distressed, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Zi'er, Brother Yunfan is here." ”

Yan Zi was about to lose consciousness in pain, hearing this, he looked up at the man who was holding him in his arms, it was indeed Du Wenhao, he smiled hard, and before he could speak, suddenly a cone of pain made Yan Zi push Du Wenhao away, and rolled on the bed again.

Gu Hualuo said: "Yunfan, please, save my Zi'er." ”

Du Wenhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, madam, I'll show Zi'er." After speaking, he asked Yan Zi about the location and feeling of the pain, and then pressed the diagnosis, and after checking the pulse and looking at the tongue, he motioned to Gu Xiaotian and Gu Yi to fly over: "I'm not sure if it's gold swallowing, but it must be an acute intestinal obstruction caused by a foreign body in the intestine. The gold nugget looks relatively large, and there is no way to remove it with medicine, so Zi'er must be operated on immediately, so in order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, I hope that no one will come in and disturb Zi'er during my operation. ”

Gu Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "What is surgery?" ”

Du Wenhao saw Gu Hualuo also looking at him blankly, thought about it, and had no other words to explain, so he said directly: "Actually, the gold itself is not poisonous, but the gold cannot be digested when swallowed in the stomach, so it blocks the intestines and causes intestinal obstruction, so ...... Therefore, it is necessary to dissect the wound and take out the gold in Zi'er's stomach. ”

"What?" Gu Hualuo's eyes almost popped out in surprise when he heard this, and he looked at Du Wenhao with a frightened expression, "Are you talking about ......, is it the ...... that the imperial doctor of the Great Song Dynasty is good at, that Hua Tuo's abdomen-breaking healing technique?" ”

Du Wenhao couldn't explain, and he had to tell them that they were going to have surgery, even if they didn't have Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er as assistants, they could only go alone. Fortunately, I have all the surgical instruments and medicines. At that moment, Zhi Wu said: "I don't know this magic skill, the one I know is my family heirloom." Without further ado, we can't put it off any longer, so I'll ask you guys to come up with an idea, and I can only do it if you agree. ”

Gu Yifei said: "Yunfan, is there any other way, I have never heard of any caesarean section to heal wounds, think about it, if a person is disemboweled, can he still live?" ”

Gu Xiaotian said: "What Yifei said is, Yunfan, the old man begs you, don't do anything." ”

At this time, Yan Zi struggled to sit up and said, "Grandpa, uncle, mother, just let Brother Yunfan operate on me, I believe in him, don't let me hurt anymore." ”

Gu Hualuo stood up sadly and looked at Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao said: "Madam, don't worry, I'm not completely sure, but in the past, I also did the same caesarean section for a child as big as Zi'er, and there have been many similar surgeries, if I don't do this, I have no other second way." ”

Gu Yifei grabbed Gu Hualuo's shoulder, and then said to his father: "Let's go out, don't delay any longer." ”

Gu Hua didn't leave, Gu Yifei dragged her hard, and almost dragged Gu Hua out.

Gu Xiaotian patted Du Wenhao's shoulder and said, "Yunfan, Zi'er will be handed over to you." After speaking, he followed Gu Yifei and them out, and then said to the people outside the door: "Close the door, you have been staying here, waiting for Mr. Du's dispatch at any time, no one is inferior to enter the house, otherwise I will take it down first." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The door slammed shut, and a heavy thud cut off the people inside and outside the house.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the moonlight outside the window was bright, the shadows of the trees were waving, the breeze was gentle, and everyone did not dare to speak loudly, or even to breathe out loudly, and there was no movement in the room.
