Chapter 289 No Title

Gu Yan went straight to Deji Hall without stopping.

Because Gu Yan often came here, the staff at Dejitang also knew that Gu Yan had a good relationship with Manager Liu.

So when he saw Gu Yan coming, he said enthusiastically: "Hey, Master Gu, you're here?"

"Well, is Manager Liu here? I have something to talk to him about." Gu Yan agreed.

"Yes, yes, please sit here and have some tea. Wait a moment, I'll go call our shopkeeper." The waiter attentively put Gu Yan on the chair next to him and poured him a cup of tea.

Gu Yan was indeed thirsty, so he took it and started drinking.

The waiter ran to the back to find Manager Liu.

When Manager Liu heard that Gu Yan was looking for him, he thought that there was some good medicinal material, so he came out impatiently.

"Xiao Gu, do you have some good medicinal herbs again? Take them out for me to see." Shopkeeper Liu came out with a smile.

"Uncle Liu, there are no medicinal herbs today. I have something to trouble you with." Gu Yan stood up.

"Oh? What's the matter? Given our relationship, it doesn't matter whether it's a trouble or not. Just tell me if you have something to say." Shopkeeper Liu did not put on airs.

"I would like to ask you to go with me for a medical consultation. My mother is sick and it is not convenient for her to come to the county town. I would like to ask you to go with me to see my mother." Gu Yan said.

"Oh, is that it? Let's go now." Shopkeeper Liu was also a straightforward person. He immediately took the medicine box and left.

An hour later, they returned to Gu Bei's house in town.

"Uncle Liu, we're here." Gu Yan stopped the carriage and helped Manager Liu down.

Then take him into the house.

"Dad, Manager Liu is here." Gu Chongshan, Gu Nian and the others were all in the room.

"Oh, the doctor is here. Come on, boss, get the doctor some water." Gu Chongshan was sitting on the kang.

He got off the kang quickly while talking.

"Okay." Gu Nian agreed and went to pour water.

"Don't bother, I'll take the patient's pulse first." Shopkeeper Liu said as he took out the pulse pillow.

Gu Chongshan made way for Manager Liu.

"Doctor Liu, what's the matter? Can this old woman still be cured?" Gu Chongshan asked cautiously from the side.

"It's poisoning." Manager Liu said as he released his fingers.

"How could that be? We had a dinner party yesterday, and I bought everything. The food was cooked by my family.

And everyone who had dinner at the same table with my mother yesterday was fine.

How is it possible that my mother was poisoned?" Gu Bei was the first to speak up.

"Yes, my wife and I ate the same thing yesterday. How is it possible? He was poisoned, but I was fine." Gu Chongshan also said.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, his pulse shows that he is poisoned." said Manager Liu.

"Uncle Liu, do you know how she got poisoned? Also, what kind of poison was it?" Gu Yan became nervous when he heard that Zhang Dahua was poisoned.

"It should be a poison called 'Qianjiyin'. This poison is effective only when three common medicines are combined together.

If you eat them alone, there will be no problem.

Your mother is like this, it is obvious that she took the first two medicines but not the last one. If she had taken it, she would have been sent out by now.

However, although these two drugs are not fatal, they have caused damage to her body, and her body will be much weaker in the future.

If you take good care of it, it might be able to take care of itself in a few months," said Shopkeeper Liu.

"Then...what should we do?" Gu Chongshan was at a loss now.

"There is no good way, we can only take good care of it." said Manager Liu.

"Uncle Liu, do you need to take some tonic or something?" Gu Yan asked.

"It's good to eat something, but tonics are not cheap." Shopkeeper Liu looked up at Gu Yan, then at Gu Nian and the others.

Gu Yan understood that the medicine would definitely not be cheap. Even if he was willing, the other brothers might not be willing.

"Brother, what do you think?" Gu Yan was sure that he couldn't afford it by himself, so he asked Gu Nian.

Gu Nian was also in a dilemma, so of course he was willing to let his mother take the tonic.

But he really couldn't come up with that much money.

The family also had to support Shuanzi's studies, so they really couldn't afford any extra money.

Moreover, this tonic cannot be taken for just one or two days. If you take it for a long time, it will cost a lot of money.

But he couldn't say that he wouldn't give his mother the medicine.

Just when Gu Nian was in a dilemma, Gu Bei took the medicine prescribed by the town and asked Manager Liu to look at it: "Doctor, please take a look at this medicine. This is prescribed by the doctor in town. Do you think it is suitable for my condition?"

Gu Nian must have thought, yes, there is medicine at home.

And the medicine in town is definitely cheaper than that in the county.

Shopkeeper Liu took it, opened the medicine package and took a look: "This medicine is also OK, it's suitable for your condition.

Was this medicine prescribed by Doctor Ye from Baicaotang?"

"How do you know? This medicine was prescribed by Doctor Ye." Gu Bei was surprised.

"Since it's Doctor Ye who's treating me, I'll just let Doctor Ye treat me from now on.

"Doctor Ye is very skilled in medicine, and I'm not as good as him in some areas," said Shopkeeper Liu.

Gu Nian and his friends didn't expect that the old doctor in the town was so skilled in medicine that even the owner of Dejitang in the county knew him.

"Okay, we got it." Gu Nian said.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Manager Liu packed up his medicine box and prepared to go back.

"Thank you for taking the trip, doctor. How about the consultation fee?" Gu Chongshan took out a string of copper coins from his arms.

"Forget the consultation fee," Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and refused.

Then he said to Gu Yan: "Xiao Gu, please take me back."

Of course Gu Yan had to send the person back. After giving some instructions, he left: "I'll send Uncle Liu back first, and I'll come back this afternoon."

On the way, Manager Liu said to Gu Yan, "Your mother must have been poisoned, and this kind of poison is usually used by women in the backyards of wealthy families.

Logically speaking, your mother is not a threat to anyone, so no one should poison her.

You have to figure out for yourself what exactly is going on.

But with this person in the dark, you still have to be careful."

"This is also something I can't understand. My family are hunters in the mountains. Who would deliberately poison them?

It is impossible to offend anyone. Even if farmers have some quarrels, they will just curse at each other, and it will not be to the point of killing people.

Besides, my mother and her family live in the mountains, and they usually don’t see any outsiders for ten days or half a month.

Do you think it’s possible that my mother ate something wrong?

Even though I've lived in the mountains for so many years, there are still some things I don't recognize." Gu Yan said with a frown.

"This is possible, but judging from the pulse, I am more inclined to believe that someone poisoned him." Manager Liu still insisted on his own idea.

Gu Yan didn't refute him, since the person was already like this.

"Uncle Liu, tell me the truth, can my mother recover?" Gu Yan asked.

"It's difficult. This medicine is extremely harmful to the body. It's a good thing she induced vomiting in time. Otherwise, the poison would have penetrated deep into her bones and she would have been bedridden for the rest of her life.

The situation is still relatively good now. As long as I take good care of myself, I can eventually take care of myself. But it is impossible to live the same as before. "
