Chapter 135 Chapter 135 is the only genuine version...
"And mine."
The bearded man said honestly, "If all of Tianshou's blood is given to Xizi, he won't have enough. Miss, you can take half from him and the rest from me. I'm strong, so a little less blood won't be a problem."
Gu Zhizhuo was taking the patient's pulse and couldn't be distracted, so he gave Qiongfang a wink.
Qiongfang went over and helped Sun Tianshou up.
"I can give her all my blood." Sun Tianshou's face was covered with tears. He looked left and right, picked up a broken tile from the ground, and cut his wrist directly. Bang! A small stone hit his hand accurately, and the broken tile flew out of his hand.
The stone was kicked by Qingmei.
"You're being reckless." Gu Zhizhuo put down his hand that was taking the pulse.
Master said that people can be reborn through blood transfusions, but not everyone's blood is suitable for donation to others. Even Master doesn't understand what the difference is.
The master also said that if the blood of each other is not compatible, the person who accepts the other person's blood will die.
The chance of success is only 10%.
Explaining this was too complicated, and they might not understand. Gu Zhizhuo simply said, "Blood is the soul of a person. How can it be exchanged? If you insist on exchanging blood, it will only kill her."
"Don't make noise."
Gu Zhizhuo frowned.
She checked the wound on the little girl's neck. The area around the wound was clean, without any signs of tearing or any other scratches. It was as if some special object was used to directly pierce the little girl's neck to draw blood.
"Qingmei, help me hold her." Gu Zhizhuo gave the order and then looked at Sun Tianshou seriously, saying, "I'll give it a try."
Sun Tianshou nodded repeatedly.
He was so frightened that his hands and feet were cramping, and his palms were cold, wet, and covered in sweat.
Gu Zhizhuo took out the yellow paper and cinnabar he had with him, and after thinking for a moment, he picked up the pen and drew a talisman like flowing water.
She stuck the talisman on the girl's forehead with a snap, then put two fingers together like a sword and pointed them at her in the air.
Zhuyoushu is an ancient medical technique that is profound and requires the practitioner to have both Taoist and medical talents. Very few of them have been passed down.
Gu Zhizhuo didn’t do that in his previous life.
Now, the master is teaching her slowly.
This talisman is called the "Soul-Binding Talisman", and as the name suggests, it can recall wandering souls.
The girl's injury was only one, and it wasn't fatal. But blood is the soul, and excessive blood loss can make the soul unstable.
The biggest problem was that she had just learned this talisman and it was her first time using it, so she felt a little unsure.
She muttered something to herself, her expression growing more solemn, all her thoughts focused on the little girl. Therefore, her sharp senses didn't register that someone was staring at her intently from a window in a private room in the Guangsha Building across the street.
In the elegant seats, there were sounds of stringed instruments and musicians singing melodious and graceful songs.
"good."
Prince Jin praised her and said, "However, she is still a little less interesting than Lady Gui. Lady Gui has a good voice, is a good pianist, and especially her affectionate eyes, which are captivating and unforgettable. What a pity..." If her face had not been ruined like that, he would have thought of taking her into the palace.
"Real person..."
Seeing that Changfeng did not respond, King Jin asked with a smile: "Master, what are you looking at?"
Changfeng pointed downstairs with his whisk and asked, "Your Highness, do you recognize this girl?"
Prince Jin followed his gaze, his eyes suddenly widening as he blurted out, "Gu Zhizhuo!"
"Gu?"
Changfeng looked back at him; the surname sounded familiar.
Prince Jin lowered his voice and asked, "Do you remember the corpse I sent to Shangxu Monastery a few years ago?"
Of course I remember. Chang Feng pondered and said, "Duke Zhenguo?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo's surname is Gu." The Prince of Jin stared down, his tone steady. "The Duke of Zhenguo has a son and a daughter. She is his eldest daughter."
I see.
No wonder. Chang Feng understood. No wonder she hated him so much when he last saw her.
Such a good little girl, but the evil spirit on her body is so strong that it cannot be dispelled. No wonder God is displeased.
"This girl is very fierce." Prince Jin smiled and said, "I originally wanted to invite Lady Gui to come, but she took over."
"With the support of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and being the fiancée of Prince Chen, she is now considered unique in the capital. Who dares to attack her? Even this prince has to give her some ground."
"Hey, Masatoshi, what is she doing?"
Changfeng remained silent, his narrow eyes fixed on Gu Zhizhuo below, the silver threads of the whisk wrapped around his fingers.
There were too many people surrounding below, and King Jin could not see clearly for a moment, so he sent people down to check.
After a while, the attendant returned and reported, "Your Highness, it's a little girl. She seems injured and dying. Miss Gu is trying to save her."
"Does she know medicine?" Changfeng asked.
"Yes, I heard from the Duke of Wei that a noble lady, instead of learning the fine arts of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, had to lower herself to study medicine."
King Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, even the sickly Xie Yingchen was cured by her.
If Xie Yingchen hadn't died, there would have been so many more things going on. Otherwise, who could have competed with the Third Prince?
"I don't know what the emperor was thinking at the time..."
Prince Jin was about to talk to him when he noticed Changfeng hadn't even turned his head. He craned his neck to look and heard Changfeng suddenly say, "This girl is actually from the Taoist sect?!"
King Jin was surprised and asked, "How do you know, Master?"
The wind is silent. It is different from what ordinary people can see.
In Changfeng's eyes, the bloody aura lingering around Gu Zhizhuo was churning violently, like tentacles, extending madly in all directions.
A faint light like a firefly, accompanied by a prayer, penetrated into the little girl's body.
He rubbed his sleeves and said with certainty, "The girl is alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from below, resounding through the sky.
"Alive, alive! The person is alive."
"Very good."
"Really? She can move now."
“…”
The King of Jin didn't care whether an ordinary commoner lived or died. He casually sighed and said, "This Miss Gu is indeed quite capable."
Changfeng pursed his thin lips, and there were very few wrinkles on his slightly thin face.
He pondered and said, "Zhu You Shu?"
"Master, what is the art of incantation?"
As soon as the Prince of Jin finished speaking, before Changfeng could explain, the door of the private room opened and Xie Jing and the Duke of Wei walked in.
The Prince of Jin looked back and immediately stood up to greet them, saying warmly, "Third Young Master, Duke Weiguo, you are finally here. I have been waiting anxiously. Please come in."
Today, Prince Jin hosted a banquet for Changfeng and specially invited Xie Jing and Duke Weiguo to join him. In fact, he also planned to take this opportunity to wait for Duke Weiguo's reply.
The old fox, Duke Weiguo, was very cunning. He was vague last time and was unwilling to give him a clear answer, so that later in Wenyuan Palace, he was unable to compete with Xie Yingchen, allowing Xie Yingchen to temporarily take over the regency.
It's been a few days now. No matter what, it's time to think it through.
If the Duke of Wei is willing to cooperate with him, and the two of them work together, and with the real person around, they will be able to ensure that the third prince ascends to that chair.
If the Duke of Wei relied on the fact that he had first pledged allegiance to the Third Prince and was unwilling to share a share of the profits with him, then he would have no choice but to find a way to get rid of the Duke of Wei first.
Despite his thoughts, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Duke, you are late. Come quickly and drink three cups as punishment."
"No, no, no, I've been here a long time ago, watching the fun from downstairs."
Having seen Prime Minister Song vomit blood after drinking, Duke Weiguo now thinks about his age and only drinks three cups no matter which banquet he attends.
Fearing he would force him to drink, the Duke of Wei changed the subject and said, "Miss Gu is truly amazing. Last time, Prime Minister Song was vomiting blood all over the floor, and she was able to save him. The same thing happened with this little girl. I heard that somehow, she was almost drained of blood and even died, yet she managed to survive. This medical skill is probably unique in the capital."
"You can still be alive after your blood has dried up, what a joke..."
Prince Jin was about to make a joke when he paused and raised his voice slightly: "A little girl who has lost too much blood?" He glanced at Changfeng secretly.
The chief attendant only said that he was injured, and many people below could not see the specific situation clearly.
"Tell me quickly." King Jin urged anxiously.
"I didn't hear much..." When the Duke of Wei arrived, the little girl had already been surrounded by a group of people, so he only heard a few scattered things. "They said that all the blood in her body had been drained, and her brother wanted to give his blood in exchange for hers... Is that right, Third Young Master?"
Duke Weiguo turned around to ask Xie Jing, only to see Xie Jing and Changfeng standing at each window, both staring straight out, completely oblivious to the music and beauties in the elegant seats.
He laughed heartily and said, "The Third Young Master is still young and has a childish mind."
I laughed dryly for a long time but no one responded.
Huh?
He looked to his left and saw a strange Taoist priest standing by the window, looking at Miss Gu below.
Looking to the right, Xie Jing was also standing by the window, looking at Miss Gu below.
Looking at the middle, King Jin's face was gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds, without a trace of smile.
Duke of Wei:?
I always feel that I don't fit in with this group of people. Now that I regret it, is it too late to find someone else to follow?
Why.
"She's awake!"
"Quick, quick. This girl asked for a bowl of water. Does anyone have a bowl?"
"I have some at home. I'll go get it."
Xie Jing looked diagonally across. He once thought that Ji Nan Ke would always be the shining and most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Unconsciously, Ke'er has changed.
And Gu Zhizhuo, whom he had never cared about before, was like a shining star, shining brightly.
Just like now.
She saved the little girl, and everyone had smiles on their faces, showing surprise and admiration. They were all willing and happy to be around her.
Xie Jing touched his forehead, pressing it hard with his fingers. What had made him think that Gu Zhizhuo was unruly, ignorant, vulgar, and only had a face to look at?
He is truly blind.
Gu Zhizhuo raised his head slightly. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, she rarely wore a veil recently. Her cheeks facing the sun were not as pink and white as Ke'er's long stay in the boudoir, but she was full of heroic spirit, as if glowing.
"Here's the water!"
An old woman hurried over with a bowl of water in a coarse porcelain bowl, and the crowd spontaneously made way for her.
The old woman handed over the bowl and said, "Girl, is this enough water?"
Gu Zhizhuo only asked for about the amount of water at the bottom of the bowl. She looked at it and said, "That's enough. Thank you, mother-in-law."
She took the talisman on the girl's forehead, set it on fire and burned it into ashes, then dissolved it into water.
"Here. Drink it."
The girl agreed obediently and drank all the talisman ash water in one breath.
Gu Zhizhuo returned the bowl to the old woman, thanked her, and said, "She's saved her life for now. She'll need to replenish her blood and energy later. Plus, her vitality has been severely damaged, so she'll need a lot of tonics."
Tonic medicines, such as century-old ginseng, mean real money.
It would cost at least several hundred taels of silver to keep the body warm for a month.
Sun Tianshou hurriedly said, "Miss, I have money. I'll go get it."
He took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket.
"Qiong Fang," she waved, "I'll give you a prescription. Go to the clinic up ahead and get seven doses."
She recited the names of the herbs one by one. Even if you were not a medical student, you could tell from just listening that these herbs were all expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
Sun Tianshou's lips were trembling. He knew that the money he had was definitely not enough, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
After Gu Zhizhuo finished reading the prescription, he added, "Tell the shopkeeper to take another ginseng root and slice it. Take it orally. It needs to be at least a hundred years old."
Qiongfang has a good memory and remembers everything after listening to it once.
"Girl," Sun Tianshou said with a cruel heart, "I'll sell myself to you. I'll be your slave."
Gu Zhizhuo was examining the wound on the girl's neck, secretly wondering what had happened to her. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "No need."
"Every seven days, I'll come to check her pulse and change the prescription. A month of this will be enough."
"During this month, try to move less and lie down more. Especially during these seven days, you must not get tired or injured again. It's best to lie still." Gu Zhizhuo glanced at the copper coin in his hand, "Eat more meat and make some soup."
She estimated that at most his family could buy a few more meals of meat.
She said, "You don't have to worry about the medicinal materials."
Sun Tianshou stammered, wondering how he dared to accept these medicines and such a large sum of money.
Seeing that he was quite determined, Gu Zhizhuo simply said, "When you earn enough money, you can pay me back slowly. You're only a teenager, are you afraid you can't pay it back?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Tianshou's originally bent spine straightened up again, and his face showed more energy and spirit.
"Yes, yes. I will definitely return it."
He will make a lot of money in the future.
The little girl smiled obediently: "My brother and I will pay it back together."
Gu Zhizhuo smiled and said to those around him, "Who can help? Do you live far away? Send her home first, so she won't be exposed to the sun. She's as fragile as glass right now."
Many of them were obviously familiar neighbors and came forward to help.
Sun Tianshou took his sister's cold hand and deliberately scolded her with a face: "You are not allowed to run out of the house anymore, do you understand?"
“I didn’t…”
"Xizi is a well-behaved girl. She won't go out even if you don't let her. It's your father who lost all his money today and brought a matchmaker to sell her out." A daughter-in-law sighed.
Sun Tianshou's hands stiffened, his cheeks twitched a few times, and then his face was filled with disgust.
"I'm going to kill him!"
He screamed heart-wrenchingly and rushed back.
"You go," Gu Zhizhuo said slowly from behind him. "A son who harms his father should be beheaded according to the law. Your sister is all alone, with no one to make medicine for her and take care of her. In less than ten days, she will be able to reunite with you. Do you believe it?"
Sun Tianshou stopped.
He squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and cried weakly.
"Hey, girl, you don't know," the bearded man said. "His mother died three years ago. His father gambles all day long. Last year, he almost sold Xizi to a brothel. Finally, Tianshou agreed to give his father one or two taels of silver every month, but his father wouldn't let Xizi sell. With that one or two taels of silver, he has to work from morning till night, and he can't take care of Xizi anymore."
If that's the case, then even if she returns home, she won't be able to rest properly? Her life was snatched back from the gates of hell, and if she doesn't take good care of herself, she will probably die.
"How about this." Gu Zhizhuo thought for a moment and said, "Qingmei, take them both to the girls' school run by Zheng Silang and his team."
"You two brothers will stay at the girls' school first. You can help them with some odd jobs to cover your expenses. We can talk about other things after Xizi gets better."
A few days ago, Zheng Silang excitedly said that there were more and more girls in the girls' school, but there were not enough staff, so he planned to hire a few more people.
Sun Tianshou seems to be a good person, so let’s do this for now.
"I'll have someone send the herbs over later, and you can make the medicine yourself."
Gu Zhizhuo gave a few instructions, and the bearded man picked up the little girl. The familiar neighbors surrounded them and went away together.
She wiped the blood off her hands with a handkerchief and turned back.
Awu brought some clean water for her to wash her hands.
Xie Danling asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"He was rescued."
Gu Zhizhuo continued, "But it's very strange. I saw the wound on her neck, and someone must have deliberately bled her. Who would have a grudge against such a little girl? They bought her back specifically to bleed her."
Pop.
Gui Niangzi almost lost her grip on the pipa, and the artificial nails left a scratch on the back of her hand.
