Chapter Seventy-One: The Death Comes at a High Price
Gu Baiwei fed Ouyang Yue and Zhao Lei hemp boiling soup respectively, then lay them flat together, and then cut through the bloodline of Zhao Lei's right wrist and the bloodline of Ouyang Yue's left hand, and finally connected the bloodlines of the two of them together, so that the blood in Zhao Lei's body flowed into Ouyang Yue's body through the bloodline. He saw that Zhao Lei's blood could flow into Ouyang Yue's body normally, and there was no abnormality, so he cut open Ouyang Yue's wound and prepared to treat his damaged internal organs.
When he first cut it, Gu Baiwei was taken aback. It turned out that after such a long time, Zhao Lei's blood had not yet flowed all over Ouyang Yue's body. In this way, not only can Ouyang Yue not be rescued, but the blood will not be able to return after a long time, I am afraid that Zhao Lei will die first. Gu Baiwei was a little panicked and didn't know what to do. He knew that at this critical moment, his mind should not be flustered, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. After a moment of anxiety, his mind calmed down a little, and he quickly began to look for a cause and a solution.
Suddenly, Gu Baiwei noticed that the blood spilling from Zhao Lei and Ouyang Yue's bodies was darker and thicker than that of ordinary people. He suddenly understood the reason, and said to himself: "How did I forget that the blood on the two of them is highly toxic, which makes the blood in the body relatively viscous and not easy to flow, so it can't flow all over the body for so long." Gu Baiwei was a little excited because he had found out the reason, thinking that he could finally treat them. But then he said gloomily: "However, even if I find the cause, I will not be able to solve the problem in a short time." If Qianrui is still around, maybe she can help me. But, Qianrui, she-" Thinking of this, Gu Baiwei was sad again.
Gu Baiwei, who felt that he was powerless, sighed: "Alas, do you want me to watch their pair die like this in vain?" For a while, Gu Baiwei was very melancholy in his heart. He looked at Zhao Lei and Ouyang Yue regretfully, but found that the fingers of Zhao Lei's right hand were moving, and they were slowly clenching into a fist. Gu Baiwei was surprised: "It turns out that Brother Zhao is still conscious after eating hemp boiling soup. He must have heard my words, and wanted to make sure that the blood on his body could flow into Miss Ouyang's body as soon as possible through his own efforts. Saying that, Gu Baiwei looked back at Ouyang Yue's wound and found that there was already blood flowing. Gu Baiwei was overjoyed, and said happily to Zhao Lei: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely save you and Miss Ouyang." As he spoke, he used skillful techniques to treat Ouyang Yue's internal organs.
In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since Gu Baiwei had rescued Ouyang Yue. On this day, Ouyang Yue finally woke up in a daze, and saw Gu Baiwei looking at him happily in a haze. She wondered, "Am I not dead yet?"
Gu Baiwei said happily: "Miss Ouyang, you are not dead, you are still alive! Thank God, you finally woke up." β
Ouyang Yue took a closer look around and found that there were only Gu Baiwei and herself in the whole room, and she didn't see Zhao Lei, so she said anxiously: "Where is the stone?
Gu Baiwei said: "Brother Zhao, he ββ, him-"
Ouyang Yue saw that he seemed to have an unspeakable endurance, and he already had an ominous premonition, and struggled to get up and said that he was going to find Zhao Lei.
Gu Baiwei was worried that Ouyang Yue's movement would break the wound that had just begun to heal. So he told her that Zhao Lei was in the next room. Who knows, Ouyang Yue still insisted on going to see Zhao Lei. Gu Baiwei had no choice but to carry her to Zhao Lei's bed.
Ouyang Yue saw Zhao Lei lying motionless on the bed, his breath was like nothing, and he was so frightened that he didn't even respond to a few shouts of 'stone'. Ouyang Yue turned to ask Gu Baiwei: "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Gu Baiwei: "Miss Ouyang, you just woke up, you shouldn't move around and get excited, why don't we help you back to your room to rest?"
Ouyang Yue saw that Gu Baiwei did not answer positively, and he already roughly knew the seriousness of the matter. She slowly stretched out her right hand and held Zhao Lei's outermost hand, feeling cold. Ouyang Yue's heart was as cold as Zhao Lei's hand all of a sudden. She saw Zhao Lei, who was no different from a dead man in front of her, and her sad tears flowed down drop by drop like broken beads.
Ouyang Yue was still unwilling to let go of hope, and looked at Gu Baiwei with anticipation: "Will he still wake up?"
Gu Baiwei said helplessly: "Brother Zhao forcibly transfused blood to treat you, causing the blood flowing into your body to be unable to return to replenish his own body, so that the body is ischemic and paralyzed, and he is now in a state of death but not death, and the chance of waking up is very small." β
Ouyang Yue was even more sad after hearing this, and threw herself into Zhao Lei's arms and cried bitterly.
After crying for a while, Ouyang Yue suddenly turned to Gu Baiwei again: "If the blood from my body is transfused back into his body again, will he still be able to wake up?"
Gu Baiwei shook his head and said, "Don't say that you can't bleed now." Even if he could, because Brother Zhao was paralyzed, he could no longer accept any blood transfusions from outside. Miss Ouyang, don't be too sad, Brother Zhao sacrificed himself for you so much, he hopes that you can live well and live happily as before. You can't live up to his hard work!"
Ouyang Yue was so sad that she couldn't cry anymore. She wiped her tears and said to Gu Baiwei: "Gu Gongzi, when you leaned over just now, I noticed that you were wearing a jade pendant on your neck, can you take it off and let me take a closer look?"
Gu Baiwei was surprised by Ouyang Yue's sudden request. This jade pendant is very important to Gu Baiwei, and it can't be easily shown to outsiders. Therefore, Gu Baiwei hesitated. However, when he saw Ouyang Yue's haggard face, and remembered that she had saved his life twice, he still took off the jade pendant and handed it to her.
Ouyang Yue took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and then took off the piece on his body that matched Gu Baiwei's pairing, which was completely consistent. It turned out that Gu Baiwei was the descendant of Goujian, the king of Yue that Ouyang Yue was looking for.
Ouyang Yue was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you are the descendant of King Goujian of Yue!"
Gu Baiwei was even more surprised: "Then you are-"
Ouyang Yue said: "My ancestor was once a confidant guard of King Goujian of Yue. Before the collapse of the Yue Dynasty, the king of Yue, Goujian, gave him a treasure map, a 'Dragon Tooth Sword' and half a jade pendant for safekeeping, and ordered him to give this treasure map and the 'Dragon Tooth Sword' to his descendants when the Yue Kingdom encountered life and death, as a purpose to protect the country and restore the country. And this jade pendant is the only evidence for the descendants of King Goujian of Yue. β
Gu Baiwei sighed: "Now, I am finally about to fulfill my ancestor's last wish, and I don't have to worry about it anymore." β
Gu Baiwei took the jade pendant and said with emotion: "The Yue Kingdom has been destroyed for thousands of years, and now I am just a doctor who can only collect medicine to save people, what is the use of those things I want? Ouyang Yue girl, why don't you just leave it to you to deal with?"
Ouyang Yue said: "This matter must not be done. First, I can't break the ancestral family law. Second, I don't know what to do. Besides, he is like this, and I have no heartβ"
Gu Baiwei saw that Ouyang Yue was embarrassed, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will take it out to help the poor people in the future." After speaking, he took the 'Dragon Tooth Sword' and said, "This 'Dragon Tooth Sword' is also useless to me. I saw that Brother Zhao was very compatible with it, so I will give it to Brother Zhao. I hope Miss Ouyang will not shirk again, and accept it on behalf of Brother Zhao. β
Ouyang Yue took the 'Dragon Tooth Sword', and when he saw Zhao Lei lying on the bed and not moving, he had mixed feelings in his heart. The days we used to spend time together kept coming to mind. She prayed secretly, "God, if you can wake up the stone, I will do whatever you want me to do." Even if you want me to eat vegetables and wild fruits every day, I am willing to stay in one place forever and never come out. I'll just need you to give me back the stone. I will always stay with him on the 'Panlong Island', and never dig out my mind again. I beg you, God!" However, no matter how Ouyang Yue prayed and how sad he was, until Ouyang Yue sent Zhao Lei back to 'Panlong Island', Zhao Lei still didn't wake up.
