Chapter 868: Similar to modern vegetative state
"Miss Jiang, thank you for your care during this period."
Tao Niang looked apologetic, "Your father loves you very much, you should take good care of him in the future."
"Mom, I don't want to be separated from Dad."
Ping'an couldn't stop crying. He stared at Jiang Shaowen sadly, hoping that his mother would change her mind.
However, Tao Niang had made up her mind and walked outside holding Ping An's hand. Jiang Shaowen stood at the door and watched Tao Niang and Ping An walk away.
Until they disappeared from view, Mu Xiang asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to stop her?"
She thought the master was here to stop Tao Niang.
"She is not a child. Since she has made up her mind, we can't stop her."
Jiang Wan never thought of forcing Tao Niang to do anything. When she walked into the house, she saw Jiang Shaowen staring at the roof with a dull look.
His expression was indescribably lonely, and there seemed to be a hint of confusion.
"You want to keep her?"
Jiang Wan's sharp words made Jiang Shaowen feel empty inside, and he muttered to himself.
"No, I don't. I don't like her. I love your mother."
He kept repeating it, probably thinking that if he said it enough times, he would start to believe it.
Looking at his current appearance, the resentment and hatred in Jiang Wan's heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
She frowned and looked at Jiang Shaowen, who looked like a ghost. "My mother is gone, so it's normal for you to find another one."
"I know you blame me."
Jiang Shaowen covered his face and said, "I also promised your mother that it would be for her alone, but I broke my promise again and again."
The concubine in the past was forced upon him by his mother, but Tao Niang was not.
"The way back is not easy. If they walk, it's unknown when they can arrive."
Jiang Wan looked at the snowflakes outside and said, "It's snowing outside. Are you sure you want to let them leave like this?"
If anything happens, Jiang Shaowen will definitely not forgive himself.
After hearing what Jiang Wan said, Jiang Shaowen's expression changed, "No, we can't let them leave like this!"
A hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes, as if he suddenly realized the importance of Tao Niang.
"Song Yi, help me."
Song Yi did not move, but looked at Song Jiuyuan. He was the prince's man, so naturally he would listen to the prince.
"Go ahead."
Song Jiuyuan did not stop Jiang Shaowen, he followed Jiang Wan's wishes in everything.
Soon, Song Yi took Jiang Shaowen to chase Tao Niang and Ping An. Looking at their backs, Song Jiuyuan seemed to have some thoughts.
"Wanwan, if you mind, we won't take them back to Jiuzhou."
"I am indeed sad."
Jiang Wan raised her eyes and looked at Song Jiuyuan, "I'm not feeling sad for myself, but for my mother.
But before Jiang Shaowen became my father, he was himself first, so I think he should be allowed to make his own choice.”
"Wanwan is very understanding of justice."
Song Jiuyuan knew that this was the kindness of his daughter Wanwan, and fearing that she would be hungry, he took her to eat first.
As it turned out, Aguanna happened to come to see them, “My mother cooked delicious food herself.
She asked me to come over and invite you to have dinner together."
"OK."
Jiang Wan did not act pretentiously and brought Song Jiuyuan and Mu Xiang to the valley master's residence.
Old man Ouyang and the Valley Master were arguing fiercely over a position.
Seeing Jiang Wan, old man Ouyang cursed and said, "Little sister, you are finally here, look at your senior brother.
He is the elder, and it is shameful for him to snatch things from his younger brother."
"What's there to be ashamed of? I'm the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. If you wanted to surpass me, why didn't you fight for the position of Valley Master in the first place?"
The Valley Master snorted softly. Only in front of old man Ouyang would he reveal his childish side.
Old man Ouyang wanted to say more, but was stopped by Guanxue, "Junior sister finally came here once.
Don't bother her with these little things, she is someone who wants to do big things."
"Okay, okay, come and eat."
Old Man Ouyang and the Valley Master stopped fighting for a while, and everyone sat down and started to eat.
Guan Xue’s dishes were delicious, and Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and Muxiang all enjoyed them very much.
When they were almost done eating, the Valley Master spoke faintly, "Junior Sister, did the Great Elder invite you to treat the patient?"
"How did you know, brother?"
An idea suddenly occurred to Jiang Wan, "Could it be that Senior Brother has seen that person before?"
"More than just seeing it."
Old man Ouyang answered for the Valley Master, "None of the elders in Medicine King Valley has not visited that man."
"Um?"
These words made Jiang Wan even more confused. What did it mean that she had met all the elders of Yaowang Valley?
The Valley Master sighed and said, “Logically speaking, this is the Great Elder’s private matter, and I shouldn’t tell you too much.
It’s just that this patient is a little special. If you can’t cure him, don’t give the Great Elder hope.”
"I see."
Jiang Wan roughly understood what her fellow brothers meant, but when she saw the person the Great Elder asked her to save, she was still stunned.
The Great Elder did not allow younger people like Muxiang and Aguanna to enter, and only brought Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan with him.
This was in the back mountain of Yaowang Valley, at the back door of the Great Elder's residence. He led them to open layer after layer of mechanisms.
When they arrived at the underground cave and saw clearly the extremely beautiful person lying in the middle of the ice, Jiang Wan's pupils shrank.
In the middle of a large bed of ice, lay a woman who was about thirty years old, her skin an unhealthy pale color.
If it weren't for her extremely slow breathing, Jiang Wan would have even thought it was a corpse.
She and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and roughly understood the concerns of her two senior brothers.
"This is my wife."
The great elder stroked his graying beard. Over the past thirty years, his hair has gone from black to white.
And his Qiao'er was still lying on this ice bed.
"Great Elder, can I take her pulse?"
Jiang Wan was really curious about what state a person would be in after lying down for such a long time.
"Can."
The great elder's sad eyes were fixed on the man who was almost out of breath. He said sadly:
"Recently I've noticed her breathing is getting weaker and weaker. I might be losing her."
While Jiang Wan was feeling her pulse, the Great Elder said to himself, "She was also a disciple of Medicine King Valley.
She was my junior sister. That year, we went to the snowy mountains to collect herbs together, and there was an avalanche.
In order to save me, she was nearly buried. I used the snow lotus that I had picked with great difficulty to keep her alive and brought her all the way back to Yaowang Valley.
At that time, the old valley master was still alive, and he thought of this method for me to keep her alive. In addition to Hanbing, I also had to feed her medicine every day.
At first she could instinctively open her mouth, as if she could hear what I said, but then her consciousness seemed to slowly fade away.”
Jiang Wan didn't expect to hear such touching love stories, and that the Great Elder was such an infatuated person.
But this senior sister's body has obviously reached its limit.
Even if the Great Elder threw away countless good medicines, he might not be able to keep her.
After all, it has been thirty years.
This is somewhat similar to a modern vegetative state.
The fact that people can still receive nutrient solution in modern times is enough to show how hard life was for the Great Elder.
No wonder he looks older than all the elders.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to tell the Great Elder the cruel truth.
