Chapter 361: Unknown Medical Book

After being diagnosed and treated by Old Man Dou, the unconscious Mu Qing survived a dangerous night and finally became stable in the early morning.

Mother Lu, who had been acupunctured, woke up slowly. The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask about her son's condition: "Mu'er! Mu'er!"

Jiang Yao appeared indifferent to Mu Qing, but she stayed in the room all night.

She held her forehead and said, "Sister, Mu'er should be fine, don't worry."

At this time, the bloodstains in the room had been cleaned up. Mu Qing did not vomit blood in the second half of the night, and his whole body was washed with medicinal wine. He was lying on the bed in a white and soft undershirt. Except for his pale face, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Old man Dou was old, and when he woke up he couldn't help but sneeze: "A-choo! Don't panic, everyone. I'll go take a look."

Amidst everyone's nervous and expectant gazes, he finished taking the patient's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "There's no danger to his life for now."

Mother Lu cried with joy: "Thank you, old doctor!"

She knelt on the spot, folded her Buddhist beads in her hands, and kowtowed, muttering, "Thank you, Guanyin Bodhisattva, thank you, Wuliang Tianzun... Thank you, all the gods and Buddhas for your protection!"

After thanking God, she looked at Old Man Dou again to express her gratitude, but unexpectedly, Old Man Dou was experienced and quietly walked out the door.

Mother Lu quickly chased after him: "Old Miracle Doctor, dear in-laws, please don't leave so quickly! You are Xin'er's godfather, and you saved my life and my son's life. Our Lu family should reward you generously."

Old Man Dou was at a loss, afraid that she would kneel down again, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You also know that I am Xin'er's godfather. Why should I be polite to my family?"

"How can this be?" Mother Lu said stubbornly, "Even brothers have to settle accounts. Don't be polite, my dear in-laws. If our Lu family has anything you need, just take it! Someone, bring the key to the warehouse!"

Old Man Dou didn't seek fame or fortune, so he shook his head and said, "Really, no need. If you sincerely want to thank me, go to the temple and donate some merit. It can also be considered as praying for Mu Qing."

Seeing that Mother Lu refused, he pretended to be angry and said, "Your son's injury hasn't fully healed yet. If you don't listen to me, I won't continue to treat him!"

After his vicious "threat", Mother Lu reluctantly agreed.

Old Man Dou looked at her several times, and after making sure that she would not suddenly kneel down, he slowly walked into the room and wrote down the prescription: "Since the disease has been cured, I will return to the mountains."

"This... is there anything wrong with our Lu family's hospitality?" Mother Lu asked cautiously.

If possible, she would naturally want Doctor Dou to stay in the Lu Mansion every day. This would be more conducive to Mu Qing's recovery and would also make everyone feel at ease.

Old Man Dou put down his pen and stretched. "Why, you won't let me go home? If you have any problems next time, just come find me."

He thought for a moment, then added meaningfully, "If one wants to live a hundred years without worries, one must cultivate oneself and improve one's character. Relying on doctors won't do. This is all I have to say, and I'm going back to the mountains now!"

Everyone smiled bitterly. Don’t they also want to live a stable and worry-free life?

However, the relationship between the Lu family and the prince is a deadlock. The current prince already regards the Lu family as a thorn in his side. When he ascends the throne in the future, how could he possibly leave this hidden danger in the world?

It can be said that the day the prince inherits the throne is the day when everyone in the Lu family will die!

Hu Xin'er and Jiang Yao walked Old Man Dou to the door together.

Hu Xin'er tearfully said, "Godfather, this time it's all thanks to you that I was able to bring my husband back from the brink of death. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Unexpectedly, Old Man Dou sighed: "Actually, your husband's condition is not good."

The two girls were shocked: "What do you mean?"

Old Man Dou said slowly, "He has only just stepped out of the gates of hell. Whether he can wake up or get better is unknown. But the old lady has been traumatized, so I dare not say it in front of her."

Hu Xin'er understood his painstaking efforts, and her heart, which had originally sank, became heavier. She asked anxiously, "Then, in your opinion, how should we save my husband?"

"Alas, I came back to the mountain this time to look up ancient books to see if there is any way to save him." Old Man Dou sighed.

Jiang Yao suddenly asked, "What kind of injury did Mu Qing suffer? From what sect or school did it come?"

Old Man Dou stroked his beard and said, "He doesn't appear to have any injuries on his body, except for a small bruise on his chest. But in reality, his internal organs have been shattered. The person who hurt him is definitely not an ordinary person. But I don't know what sect they belong to."

Jiang Yao pondered, "You're right. The masked man that night was extremely skilled in martial arts. Every move he made could have killed us, yet he managed to leave some room for maneuver."

The only bruise on Mu Qing's chest was caused by the masked man with just one finger, but it caused Mu Qing to vomit blood on the spot and even injured his internal organs.

If Mu Qing had not possessed martial arts skills and the internal force in his dantian had not been circulating, barely keeping him alive, he would probably have died on the spot!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of fear: "Luckily, that person didn't destroy Mu'er's Dantian Qi Sea. Otherwise, if he lost his internal energy, even a god would be unable to save him."

Old Man Dou listened to her story with a solemn expression, "How could you have provoked such an enemy? This martial arts style is truly unheard of and unseen! If that man hadn't shown mercy and withheld 30% of his strength, the Lu family would probably be forced to hold a funeral now."

"Godfather, are you also a martial artist?" Hu Xiner was confused when she heard them talking about internal force techniques, but when she saw that Old Man Dou was explaining it clearly, she asked in confusion.

Old Man Dou waved his hand and said, "I just saved a lot of people, and I heard some rumors from the patients."

Hu Xin'er was in a state of panic at this moment, and begged, "Godfather, you must save Mu Qing!"

Seeing her panic, Old Man Dou felt deeply distressed. "I treat you as my own child, so how could I not do my best? But even if I use all my medical skills, I can only suppress his condition for a month or two."

"You mean, he can only live for one or two months?" Hu Xiner's voice trembled.

Old Man Dou sighed and said, "I will do my best, but you must also be mentally prepared."

Jiang Yao's body swayed slightly, as if she couldn't accept this fact, and the sadness in her eyes could no longer be concealed.

Hu Xiner's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Yao supported her in time: "Xin'er, my sister and Mu Qing are not in good condition right now, you must not fall down again!"

Hu Xin'er held Jiang Yao's hand tightly, holding back tears as she said, "Auntie, I know."

Old man Dou was also anxious when he saw how miserable they were.

His eyes suddenly lit up. "I remember now. Rumor has it there's a book by an unknown doctor with detailed records of treatments for difficult and unusual illnesses. Perhaps I can find a way to cure Mu Qing there!"
