Chapter 104
However, in addition to diagnosing her own pulse, Gu Xuebin is the second person she diagnosed. So my fingers clasped my pulse, and I was still a little nervous.
Father Gao saw that Su Jinyao had a good diagnosis today, so he stood aside and was silent.
But after Su Jinyao's fingers pressed for a while, her brows became more and more wrinkled, and in the end, even she was a little puzzled, why was Gu Xuebin's pulse so strange?
Gu Xuebin's symptoms seemed to be different from any of the illnesses in the codex written by his mother. He had damage to several organs, but it was not a congenital deficiency or an acquired trauma. Instead, it was endlessly consumed and constantly destroyed by something in the body, which caused it to look like he was seriously ill.
This may also be the fundamental reason why Gu Xuebin has not grown tall. Because all the nutrients have been consumed, and the inside of the body is constantly destroyed, it is not easy to be alive, run and jump.
What's going on with this symptom? What methods did my mother use to suppress the condition?
Seeing that Su Jinyao's brows were furrowed, Father Gao's heart and rising hope that had been slightly relaxed just now were once again disappointed. In desperation, he had to say: "Miss Liu, if you can't diagnose it, forget it." Your mother's superb medical skills failed to cure Xuebin, which shows that this disease is ...... It's also really tricky. ”
"He's ...... Is it a disease? Su Jinyao's brows, which had been frowning, jumped slightly, looked up at Father Gao, and asked seriously word by word: "But why do I think that his symptoms are like poisoning?" This strange poison is extremely chronic, but it is also the most vicious. The function of the organs is constantly destroyed from the inside, so that the human body consumes a lot of nutrients, but it will not kill at once. But it is estimated that if it drags on for another one or two years, it will be poisoned into the bone marrow, and the gods will be difficult to save. ”
"What did you say?" Daddy Gao's expression was suddenly full of surprise and shock, and at the same time, a pair of tiger eyes narrowed with a dignified murderous intent. He asked again: "You diagnosed, Xuebin is poisoned?" ”
"You don't know this, do you? Or do you want to be angry when I say it? Su Jinyao also stood up and looked at Father Gao with a wary face, and at the same time moved her body slightly, blocking Gu Xuebin behind her.
Seeing Su Jinyao's appearance, Father Gao blinked, and then asked, "Miss Liu, you don't suspect me of poisoning Xuebin." ”
"Is there anyone else here?" Su Jinyao also asked back without showing weakness.
Su Jinyao knew that Father Gao had blood in him, but she was not afraid at all. Although she may not be Daddy Gao's opponent now, if Su Jinyao uses a trick, it is not impossible to kill him immediately. Of course, the so-called yin trick also has a price, that is, it is a trick to "kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred". So unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Jinyao will not do that.
At the same time, Daddy Gao also felt the calmness, composure and evil spirit from this little girl. Even that powerful aura is by no means weaker than himself.
Frowning, Father Gao asked in a deep voice, "Miss Liu, who are you?" ”
"I'm just a stupid girl from the Su family. It's just that my mother taught me a lot of things back then, and now I'm not stupid, so I remember them one by one. Su Jinyao replied calmly, but her vigilance did not diminish at all.
Father Gao looked Su Jinyao up and down, but he couldn't see any flaws. Although he didn't often have contact with the Su family, he was sure what this little girl was like before, and whether she was really stupid. Because her mother would never diagnose her daughter wrong.
Thinking of this, Father Gao relieved his mind slightly, and then saw that Su Jinyao was still insisting on standing in front of Gu Xuebin, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Liu, you really misunderstood." I'm just surprised that you can diagnose Xuebin as poisoned. You know, I took Xuebin across the country and visited famous doctors, but there were less than five people who could really tell that he was poisoned; And the only one who really dares to take over and detoxify him is your mother. ”
Hearing this, Su Jinyao really didn't know whether she should be proud or sigh. If her mother is really as powerful as Daddy Gao said, then she must have an extremely difficult reason and hardship to give up her superb medical skills and live in seclusion in this small Pingshan Village.
However, looking at Father Gao's sincerity, Su Jinyao asked, "You mean, this poison really wasn't given by you?" ”
Although this is a bit stupid, how can the person who poisoned it admit it. But Su Jinyao intuitively felt that Daddy Gao actually had no need to lie to himself. So if you ask it like this, she is also ready to believe Daddy Gao's answer.
Sure enough, Daddy Gao shook his head and said, "It was very difficult for my sister to give birth to Xuebin, and she died of Xiangxiaoyu early. I took Xuebin to leave my hometown and avoid the troubles of the world, just hoping that Xuebin would not be implicated in some trivial matters. It's just that I didn't expect that Xuebin still fell into the way of a bad person, and not long after I left my hometown, he became ill. At that time, I didn't know that he was poisoned, until many doctors were helpless, and finally your mother diagnosed and treated him, and it was effective, and I could conclude that someone had really poisoned Xuebin. ”
After listening to this, Su Jinyao felt that her head was a little big. Why does this story sound so bloody?
But what she is thinking about now is not the story of dog blood or not dog blood, but what Gu Xuebin is going to do behind him.
Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Although I have now obtained the medical book codex recorded by my mother, my mother did not write down the case of Gu Xuebin in detail in it, nor did she mention what kind of poison he had. But there are several secret recipes for detoxification in the Codex, and I can dispense and refine them, and then try to detoxify them. Whether it succeeds or not, that's a mixed blessing, Daddy Gao, do you agree? ”
Father Gao shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "I just said, Miss Liu, if you want to find someone to test, I am willing to test the medicine." But Xuebin can't, he ...... There is no room for error. ”
Again, "there is no room for error". Su Jinyao really wanted to scold: Everyone is about to die, what else is there to lose? Is it that he is allowed to die, that he is not allowed a glimmer of hope? I don't have the courage to make a desperate bet, and I have a fart poison.
Su Jinyao sneered and asked rhetorically, "Then let me ask you, are you also poisoned by this kind of poison?" If you are also poisoned, I can naturally detoxify you first. But if not, how can I test the medicine with you? Can you tell me what the effect of this poison is after taking the drug, and what kind of side effects it will have? ”
Father Gao was choked by Su Jinyao's words, and was stunned and didn't know how to answer. But after thinking about it for a while, he said, "I can test the medicine." I sent someone to find the same poison as the one in Xuebin, and after I took it, I tried the medicine for him. ”
"He has been poisoned for at least three years, and you are now taking poison and now detoxifying, can it be the same as his poison for three years? If you had waited three years, he would have died. Su Jinyao was blunt and spoke sonorously.
Daddy Gao choked up again, unable to say a word.
At this moment, Su Jinyao felt that her wrist was cold, and then she was held by a slender hand. There is no need to look at it, Su Jinyao also knows that it is Gu Xuebin's hand.
Su Jinyao turned around and saw that Gu Xuebin had already opened his eyes, a pair of eyes were dark and clear, as deep as a secluded pool, looking at him.
Inexplicably, Su Jinyao's face turned red, and then she squatted down and asked, "Are you awake?" ”
"I do." Gu Xuebin's lips moved, and he struggled to squeeze out these three hoarse words.
Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, but she still didn't understand, so she had to ask again: "What are you willing to do?" Are you uncomfortable somewhere? ”
"Silly girl...... Gu Xuebin squeezed out a smile, shook his head with difficulty, and took a breath before saying, "I'm willing to try the medicine you dispense." ”
got Gu Xuebin's affirmative answer, but Su Jinyao did not immediately relax, but felt that her heart was even heavier. Because Gu Xuebin agreed for no reason, this made her feel that she was full of trust and felt a great responsibility.
Father Gao was also stunned, and then knelt on one knee beside the bed with a "plop", and said anxiously: "Xuebin, you have to know ......"
"Uncle, don't say it. I'm like this now, isn't it worth letting her try? I'd rather give it a try, even if I die. After Gu Xuebin said these words, he gasped weakly for several times before continuing: "Uncle, if something really happens to me, don't blame her." And then there's ...... Even if you go away, don't worry about avenging me and my mother. ”
After speaking, Gu Xuebin took a deep breath, held Su Jinyao's hand tightly, and then tilted his head sharply and fainted.
Su Jinyao only felt that the hand that was still holding her wrist just now slipped down suddenly, her heart sank, and she screamed out of control: "Gu Xuebin, you wake me up." ”
But Gu Xuebin had already fainted, motionless, and even his breathing was shallow.
Su Jinyao was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, only felt that her eyes were hot and her heart was sour, and only after a long time did she reach out tremblingly and touch under Gu Xuebin's nose.
But when his hand was only halfway out, Daddy Gao's big hand suddenly reached over, pushed Su Jinyao's hand away, and said loudly: "Xuebin is fine, what are you doing here?" ”
Su Jinyao came back to her senses after being yelled at by Father Gao, and then even she was surprised that she would be afraid of the dead! She was worried just now that Gu Xuebin would stop breathing and die in front of her.
Daddy Gao didn't know whether he was anxious or angry, he stared at Su Jinyao with red eyes, and his voice could be heard to be deliberately forbearing, so he lowered his voice and said, "Since this is Xuebin's decision, I shouldn't disobey." That...... Just give it a try. But I have to tell you, Xuebin's life is unusual, if he dies......"
Speaking of this, Daddy Gao's words stopped.
Su Jinyao frowned suddenly, and also stared at Father Gao. If he said that Gu Xuebin would be buried with him when he died, then she would rather give up this opportunity to give Gu Xuebin healing.
It's not that she is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that Su Jinyao weighed it carefully, and it hasn't come to the point where she can put her life on the line for one person. is not a close family member, nor is he an infatuated lover, why should he be buried when he dies? Such unfair treatment, Su Jinyao will not accept it.
Of course, Su Jinyao didn't even give up Gu Xuebin, what she gave up was just this opportunity. But she will take a more drastic approach. In short, the tall father in front of her didn't want to scare her with coercion or evil anger. She doesn't eat this either.
But I didn't expect Daddy Gao to continue: "If Xuebin really encounters an accident, I won't implicate the innocent, but I have no shame to face the trust of my deceased sister, and I must apologize with death." Please also ask Miss Liu to heal with all her heart for the sake of our two lives, but don't worry about the future, I will not have the slightest anger towards Miss Liu. ”
In this way, this Gao Dad is a reasonable person, so Su Jinyao also dispersed her guard and nodded slightly. He said softly: "My mother's medical book codex begins with the words: The heart of the doctor's parents and the patient are like relatives. I will not hold back in the slightest, and I will do my best to heal him. ”
"Okay, thank you." Father Gao's eyes were no longer blood-red, but when he turned to Gu Xuebin, he had a hint of helplessness.
But Su Jinyao is not a very hypocritical person, she obviously wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she couldn't say it in her heart.
After a while, Su Jinyao asked, "I see that you have a pot and a stove here, but has it not caught fire for several days?" He is also weak now, and the poison is constantly consuming the nutrients in his body, and it is not okay not to eat it at all. If you have rice, make him some porridge. ”
Father Gao listened to Su Jinyao's question, and then nodded and said, "There is rice, there is rice, and there is a piece of bacon and two eggs." But I've been guarding Xuebin for the past few days, and I don't see him well, so I'm so anxious that I even forgot to cook, so I didn't eat. What Miss Liu said was that my uncle didn't do well. I'm going to cook. ”
After saying that, Daddy Gao turned around and ran to the pot table, and in a hurry, he even knocked down a small bench.
Su Jinyao hurriedly went over, helped the small bench up, and called Daddy Gao again: "You have been tired for a few days, just guard him." I'm better at cooking. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao walked over and lifted the iron pot and walked out, planning to clean the iron pot outside, and then build a temporary stove to cook outside. Because this cabin is so small, it is actually very bad to cook and burn firewood in the house without smoke extraction equipment, so it can be done outside or outside.
Father Gao followed behind Su Jinyao a little helplessly, firstly, because he didn't know what Su Jinyao was going to do, and secondly, he was a little embarrassed to let Su Jinyao cook. But I didn't know how to stop it, so I could only follow her around and see if there was anything I could do to help.
As soon as Su Jinyao turned around, she saw Father Gao following behind her like a child, and her eyes were still a little frightened, so she smiled. said: "Daddy Gao, why are you following me?" If Gu Xuebin doesn't need to be guarded from time to time, help me find out the ingredients and seasonings, and I'll see what to use, so I don't have to ask you to get it the same way. ”
"Oh, good." Father Gao agreed, and then asked Su Jinyao, "Miss Liu, do you want to take the pot outside to cook?" I'll help you build a stove with a few rocks. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and agreed, so that she could save a lot of trouble.
There are stones at the foot of the mountain nearby, and Daddy Gao's hands and feet are very nimble, and after a while, he built a temporary stove and put the iron pot that Su Jinyao had just washed on it.
Su Jinyao said: "Keep this stove, it's good to cook outside when the weather is good." After all, the patient's body needs rest, but also needs fresh air, and it is not healthy to cook and sleep in the same room. ”
Father Gao hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, what Miss Liu said is true." I'll build a shed outside here, start a stove, and cook outside in the future. ”
After speaking, Father Gao went into the house to get something, and after a while, rice bags, bacon, oil and salt were all laid out. There was also a small cloth bag on the rice bag, Su Jinyao walked over curiously to take a look, and saw that it was dried bamboo shoots.
Daddy Gao smiled and said, "When you have nothing to do, dig some bamboo shoots, and dry them as vegetables to eat." We two men, we don't eat so much. ”
Su Jinyao didn't expect that Daddy Gao still knew how to dig bamboo shoots and dry bamboo shoots, and looked at the piece of bacon, so she asked, "Then what is this bacon?" ”
Father Gao said: "The wild boar I hunted in the mountains can be made into boots with skin, and the meat is also very delicious, and you can grow your strength when you eat it." The meat that can't be eaten is marinated and made into bacon. Then he added: "I bought this egg by hunting hares in the mountains and going to your village to get it." There is really nothing missing on the mountain. ”
Of course, Su Jinyao knew that there was everything on the mountain, but when she looked back at the house, she felt that Gu Xuebin grew up in such an environment, did he still lack something? Then he asked, "Did he stay like this all the time and didn't go to school?" ”
Father Gao scratched his hair and said, "I occasionally teach Bin a little something." However, Xuebin is too smart, when he was still at home before, there was a special teacher to teach him to read and write since he was more than two years old, and he knew all the words at the age of five, and he could also write poems as pairs. So now in addition to martial arts, I can teach him a little knowledge of the art of war, and I can't teach those sour poems. ”
Su Jinyao pursed her lips and didn't answer, because she vaguely thought that she couldn't ask any more. From the "story" that Daddy Gao said before, which can no longer be bloody, and now Daddy Gao inadvertently revealed Gu Xuebin's former family background, you can detect a lot of sensitive information.
What's more, Daddy Gao said that he could teach Gu Xuebin the art of war! If you are a reckless man in the mountains or a killer, what is the use of learning the art of war?
Su Jinyao understands better that there are some things that she should not touch. is like what Gu Xuebin once said: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you can live longer.
Su Jinyao didn't show it too obviously, so she naturally went to wash the rice and soaked the rice in the pot. If you want to boil porridge, soak the rice in water for a while, so that the porridge will be softer and more fragrant.
Then Su Jinyao found a small clay pot to soak some dried bamboo shoots, and then cut a piece of bacon. The rest were still taken back to the house and hung from the roof of the shed.
