There was an extremely ugly toad in the medicine soup, it was squinting its eyes and resting, and it glared at Xiao Ruyu from time to time.
There were some insect remains floating on the soup, along with the dark yellow soup base, which gave off a foul smell.
[Ugh——What is this? ]
Xiao Ruyu felt nauseous, but she couldn't show it too obviously.
Suppressing the feeling of nausea, he forced a smile and asked the old man, "Old man, what is this made of?"
The old man glared at her in feigned dissatisfaction and pointed to the bottom of the bowl.
"How can such a unique secret technique be easily revealed?"
"Then what is this toad..."
Xiao Ruyu had a sad face, pointing at the bumpy toad in the bowl, trying to hold back the urge to vomit.
"Huh?" The old man scratched his head, came over, and grabbed the toad from the soup.
"I remember throwing it out just now?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just drink it now."
He threw the toad on the ground as if nothing had happened and stared at the soup in Xiao Ruyu's hand.
The corners of Eleven's mouth twitched and he looked at Xiao Ruyu for help.
Xiao Ruyu also found it a little difficult to swallow, so he turned his gaze to Doctor Yang.
[Master, can I drink this? ]
"What? You don't trust an old man like me?" The old man's voice suddenly sounded from the side, and the bowl in Xiao Ruyu's hand almost fell to the ground.
Could he also hear the voice of my heart?
Xiao Ruyu fell silent instantly and gripped the rim of the bowl tightly.
"Of course not. The old man is willing to rescue us, so we are naturally grateful."
Doctor Yang hurriedly made a gesture, divided the soup in the bowl into three portions, and handed them to Eleven and Xiao Ruyu.
He took the lead, drank the medicine in one gulp, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves.
Eleven followed closely and drank the medicine as well.
Seeing them all like this, Xiao Ruyu had no choice but to put on a sad face and drink the medicine with her eyes closed.
It was not as hard to swallow as I had imagined, but instead there was a sense of power coming from it.
After a while, Eleven stretched his fists and feet and found that the witchcraft had been broken.
He told Doctor Yang about his discovery with great surprise, "Master, my hands and feet have recovered."
Doctor Yang also tried it out and found that the limbs that had been soft before had now regained their strength. He quickly pulled the two of them aside to thank them.
"Thank you for your help, old man."
The old man stroked his beard with a smile on his face, "It's just a matter of convenience, no need to thank me."
As he spoke, Xiao Ruyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
She covered her stomach and tugged at the corner of Doctor Yang's clothes with embarrassment.
【Master, my stomach hurts. 】
Doctor Yang's face changed and he looked nervous. He squatted down and wanted to check on her condition.
Is this medicine poison?
Before he could feel Xiao Ruyu's pulse, she had already scurried away into the dense forest.
After a crackling sound, Eleven was the first to react and touched his nose awkwardly.
"Yu'er might have...stomach upset again."
Doctor Yang also reacted and held his forehead helplessly.
"This little girl, tell her not to eat anything randomly..."
"Eleven, go over there and keep an eye on her. Don't let her get taken away by wild animals."
He acted like he was looking for fun and told Eleven to go over.
Xiao Ruyu stood up with tears in her eyes and saw Eleven not far away.
She covered her face and ran away.
[I am too embarrassed to face anyone! ! Aaaaaaah!!!]
Her cheeks flushed red, and Xiao Ruyu wished a wild beast would come and take her away to avoid such an embarrassing situation.
It’s all because of that bowl of medicine!
Xiao Ruyu was mumbling to himself, and sat down next to the old man, staring at him with resentment.
The old man was a little confused, with an innocent look on his face, "What's wrong with the little kid? Why is he looking at me like that?"
"What kind of medicine is this? Why do I have diarrhea?"
The corners of her mouth drooped and her stomach ached again. She caught a glimpse of Eleven not far away and immediately covered her face, not wanting to see him again.
The old man was also puzzled. He thought about it carefully and clapped his hands.
"Yes! You are too young, you should drink less medicine!"
Now that the truth is out, Xiao Ruyu no longer has the face to show up in front of Eleven.
She squatted down, hugged her knees with her little hands, and burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu...wuwuwu, I am too embarrassed to see anyone..."
The crying sound surrounded the old man's ears, and he was suddenly at a loss.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly." The old man stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Ruyu up, his face showing panic.
"I don't care...it's all your fault. I'm too embarrassed to see anyone..."
As she cried, her stomach started to cramp again. She ran to a nearby place to relieve herself, then came back crying again.
After a while, the old man became annoyed by her crying, so he got up and went into the house to bring out another bowl of medicine.
"Yes, drink this quickly, and stop crying. You are making me deaf."
He shook his head helplessly and handed the medicine to Xiao Ruyu.
"Drink this and your stomachache will go away."
There were tears in Xiao Ruyu's eyes, a few tears hanging on her eyelashes, and the tip of her nose was red.
"What kind of poison is this? I won't drink it. I don't want it... wuwuwu..."
The crying and screaming started again, and the old man felt numb all over.
He coaxed Xiao Ruyu in a gentle voice, and he had no way to deal with her, "Little baby, don't cry, don't cry, this is anti-diarrhea medicine, you won't have diarrhea after you drink it."
The old man took out a handful of soup from somewhere and scooped a spoonful to pass to Xiao Ruyu's mouth.
"Drink it quickly and be obedient."
Xiao Ruyu pouted and drank the bowl of medicine reluctantly.
When Doctor Yang saw this scene, he couldn't help but click his tongue and whispered to Eleven.
"See, the little princess' temper is not something that ordinary people can stand."
After drinking the bowl of medicine, Xiao Ruyu felt that her stomach felt much better.
[This medicine is quite effective. I didn’t expect this old man’s medical skills are quite good. ]
Doctor Yang followed the old man's movements closely and saw through that he had no ill intentions and was only trying to protect the forest.
"Old man, please stay."
Doctor Yang stepped forward and stopped the old man from returning to the hut, with an earnest look on his face.
"I see that you are an expert in Gu magic. Could you please tell me how to remove the Gu worms from my child?"
The old man paused and thought for a moment, "Tell me in detail?"
Seeing that there was hope, Doctor Yang quickly told him Xiao Rujin's symptoms and waited nervously for the old man to speak.
When he heard that Zi Gu's illness became more serious after being crushed to death, the old man's face became serious.
Looking at his expression, Xiao Ruyu's heart skipped a beat.
Is it possible that there is really no cure?
The old man was silent for a moment, and a serious look appeared on his face that was worn out by the years.
"The mother-child Gu is naturally fierce, how could it be placed on a child less than two years old?"
He raised his head, remained calm, and spoke slowly.
"Except for killing the mother Gu, all other options are exhausted!"
