Suzhou, Yunyang County.
Several carriages headed towards the north gate.
Si Jinxing looked at Gu Anxu who was sitting on the side and said:
"Master Gu, now that I'm gone, has Yunshan Village been settled?"
Gu Anxu waved his hands quickly and said:
"Miss, please stop calling me the boss. Since the maidservant beside you is the benefactor of my daughter's transformation, then my Gu family naturally owes you a favor!
The villagers of Yunshan Village did not make a living by robbery.
It's just that there were a few robberies this year because of the disaster in Jianghuai. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."
Si Jinxing recalled Gu Anxu's skills from the night before and couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Gu is very skilled. I wonder where this skill comes from?"
Gu Anxu had long known that this young lady's identity was very unique, otherwise how could a few grooms be masters with special skills?
Since he is asking for help from others, he naturally has to be honest.
He lifted the curtain, glanced at the scenery outside, and said:
“To be honest, Miss, although I come from a medical family, I have been studying and learning martial arts since I was young.
When Gu was fourteen or fifteen years old, he always felt that herbal medicine was boring, so he secretly ran away to Fencheng.
Although he had been in the army for two years, Shang Feng turned out to be a greedy, cowardly and useless person.
Gu was disheartened by this and fled back. From then on, he devoted himself to studying medicinal herbs with his father and grandfather.
But for my daughter's illness, my family, Gu, has searched through all the medical records and books, and has found many difficult prescriptions, but we have never found a cure.
My grandfather was also ashamed because of this and died soon after arriving at Yunshan Village.
My father has been trying various methods over the past few years, but to no avail.
Last year, he left a letter saying that he would travel the world to find the right medicine. Now, there is no news at all...
God has mercy on us, and we finally met a miracle doctor. The Gu family will always remember this!"
Only then did Si Jinxing understand why Gu Anxu had abandoned Yunshan Village and followed him all the way.
The animal skin spots on that child are the knot in the hearts of four generations of his family!
Song Xiner replied at the right time:
"Master Gu, let me tell you how to treat this disease.
The lady's skin from her right cheek to her neck needs to be removed and replaced with a new one.
The new skin needs to expand from the normal skin color areas on the lady's face and neck.
When the new skin grows out, you can transplant it to the black skin and wait for the new skin to survive.
The process of expanding the new skin is not only long but also very ugly. You and your wife will be needed to comfort Miss Gu."
When Gu Anxu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Remove that piece of skin? Replace it with a new one?
How...how should I do this? Is the pain too much for my child to bear?
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he stopped making things difficult for himself.
There is always someone better than you. I have devoted myself to research for several years, but I still can't figure out how to cure this disease?
The female doctor opposite, although young, was able to describe the treatment process. She must have seen this disease before and had experience.
He stood up, bowed, and said:
"Miss, everything is up to you. Madam and I will comfort our daughter.
By the way, as for the consultation fee, you can name whatever you want."
Song Xiner looked at Si Jinxing. Seeing that her benefactor did not express his opinion, she just nodded and said:
"There's no rush for the consultation fee. We'll discuss it after the young lady's face has healed."
The carriage stopped, Gu Anxu said goodbye, and went to a carriage behind.
As soon as he left, Song Xiner couldn't help but ask:
"Benefactor, do you really want to cut off the skin on that child's face?"
Si Jinxing turned her head and saw Song Xiner's almond-shaped eyes full of anticipation.
She pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, "Yes, I can cut off the black skin and show it to you!"
Song Xiner was not afraid when she heard this. She asked with great interest:
"So, human skin is the same as fox, wolf, or pig skin? Only much thinner?"
Si Jinxing answered the questions one by one while looking at the topographic map.
Song Xiner held her chin with her hand and watched Si Jinxing draw on the map. She said:
"My benefactor, you are already a princess, yet you have learned so many medical skills. What are you trying to achieve? You should just enjoy your life in Jianzhou!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing put down the pen in his hand, looked up at her, and asked:
"Let me ask you, how can a woman be cherished and loved by her husband?"
When Song Xiner heard this, her face turned slightly red, then pale.
She had been so busy following her benefactor these days that she had forgotten what happened in Qingcheng County.
With her broken body now, how could she deserve to be cherished and loved by her husband?
She lowered her head and replied in a low voice:
"A woman should be chaste, beautiful, dignified, manage the household, respect her parents-in-law, and bear children..."
Si Jinxing shook her head, interrupted her and said, "Aren't all women in the world like the things you mentioned?
But how many men have you seen who don’t have three wives and four concubines? This shows that a woman like this cannot gain the love and respect of her husband.”
Song Xiner was still immersed in her own pain and didn't react for a while, nor did she respond.
Si Jinxing continued:
“Have you ever thought about this?
Time flies, and the years pass like water. Elegance and beauty are nothing but a dream after all.
No matter how good a look is, it will age and become boring, but there are a lot of young women out there. How can you keep his heart then?
By giving birth to children? Or by relying on parents-in-law?
As a human being, we must first be independent, rather than relying on men to live.
You should create your own value, so that others will appreciate you, instead of coveting your youthful body and beautiful face."
After hearing these words, Song Xiner was shocked. She never knew that a woman could live without relying on a man!
She raised her face, which was still covered with tears, and asked in a low voice, bewildered and helpless:
"So, if a woman is very capable and excellent, then a man can stop caring about... not care about that thing?"
Si Jinxing didn't know what kind of person the man she was engaged to was.
She only said: "Whether he cares or not, what does it matter to you?
The few words I just said are to tell you that women can live without men.
If he cherishes you, that's good. But if not, why not find another man?"
When Song Xiner heard this, her eyes widened.
She couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a princess!
How come this is different from the royal family she imagined?
Song Xiner couldn't help but say blankly:
"So, my benefactor learned medicine just to replace the prince at any time, right?"
As soon as she said this, Qing Chan, who was sitting next to her, and Bai Xi, who was driving the carriage outside, both started coughing...
This new guy is very brave. He is not afraid of anything, not even the Nine Yama Kings!
Si Jinxing looked at Qingchan guiltily, then covered his eyes with his hands.
Baby, it’s enough for us to understand this in our hearts, but we can’t say it out loud!
