Chapter 817 820. Guarding
Gu Wenheng knew that even if he called a doctor, it wouldn't be that fast. There was no doctor in the village, which was really inconvenient.
"Brother said there were too many people inside and asked us to wait outside. You said everything was fine and we have been watching him for so many years, why did he let him drink?" Gu Yuanshui was angry but couldn't vent it. He couldn't help but complain a few words.
Gu Wenheng leaned over and urged, "Go and see if the Madam is here?"
Jin Qianqian has been accompanied by two maids who are good at medicine for a long time. They are much better than those who can only worry.
Jin Qianqian followed the other sisters-in-law to the village to visit the sick elders. Upon receiving the news, she had already asked Mingdan, who was good at medicine, to go ahead.
Not long after Gu Wenheng opened his mouth, someone came in.
Before she even bowed, Gu Wenheng walked in and said, "Let's go in and see how the person is doing first."
Mingdan didn't dare to delay and followed closely behind.
As soon as Gu Wenheng entered the wing room, he saw several people gathered around the kang. "Step aside first and let Mingdan take a look."
Gu Yuanjin was confused, "Seventh Brother, what is this?"
If I remember correctly, Mingdan is the eldest girl beside my brother's wife. Why is she causing trouble at this time?
Gu Wenheng, "Mingdan has studied with the doctor for a while before, let her see what's going on first."
After hearing what the doctor had taught them, the people who had been gathering around the kang immediately dispersed, leaving room for them.
Seeing Ming Dan taking the patient's pulse, Gu Wenheng said to the others, "It's useless for so many of you to stay here. Just leave two people here. The others should go out first."
The house was not big to begin with, and it seemed even more crowded with him and Mingdan coming in.
As the eldest brother, Gu Yuanjin immediately asked his two younger brothers to go out first.
Gu Wenheng smelled the wine and food in the room and understood what was going on.
"We've been calling for a long time just now," Gu Yuanjin, who was now standing next to Gu Wenheng, whispered, "but Dad didn't respond at all. I'm worried..."
Gu Wenheng, "...I have sent someone to get a doctor."
There's no point saying this now, we can only wait.
Mingdan, "Master, there is nothing I can do about this disease.
Let’s hurry up and urge the doctor!”
As a female doctor, she is more adept at treating common women's illnesses and also has some knowledge of poisons.
Gu Wenheng naturally knew about it. It was no secret that his wife had a maid who knew medicine following her. If he didn't show up at this moment, people would inevitably criticize him.
Gu Wenheng nodded and asked her to leave. Mingdan lightly touched the silver needle bag on her waist and finally left.
The pulse she felt just now was very weak, and she was not sure even if she used acupuncture. She couldn't bring trouble to the master and the mistress.
Gu Wenheng glanced at her, walked over and supported Li Cuicui, "Mom, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."
Li Cuicui grabbed his hand and said, "Why doesn't this good person listen to advice?
He always thought that I was being harsh on him, but he never thought that he was living so well because we were following the doctor's advice?
I used to hate him to death, but seeing him like this, I feel bad too..."
Listening to the old lady's chattering, Gu Wenheng squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Dashi who was lying flat on the kang, motionless, wondering what he was thinking.
People who stayed in this house always felt that time passed very slowly. While they were waiting, they saw the arrival of elders, clan members, and finally the doctor.
Doctor Huang, who already had a head full of white hair, walked forward with the help of a pharmacist boy to take the patient's pulse. Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, he shook his head regretfully.
"I'll give it a try and see if I can wake him up for a while."
Huang Zhongan gave him another injection and tried again, but Gu Dashi still showed no reaction.
His tone was full of reproach, "Didn't I tell you repeatedly before not to let him have any alcohol or greasy food?
How much did you drink? That’s why the whole room smells so strongly of alcohol.”
Gu Shulin looked at the Gu brothers and asked, "Is there any solution now?"
Huang Zhongan, "It will take only one or two days, get ready!"
This was like a death sentence, causing everyone in the room to change their expressions.
Li Cuicui's whole body went limp, and Gu Wenheng hurried to support her.
Gu Yuanjin and the others turned even paler, begging Huang Zhongan, "Doctor Huang, is there really no other way? I remember I have a ginseng hidden away, how about steaming it and giving it to him to drink..."
"It's no use. He broke his leg and had a stroke before. Although you have taken good care of him over the years, he still has many problems.
This wine and greasy food are nothing but a death warrant. Even if you go to the palace to invite the imperial physician, it will be powerless to save the situation."
In addition, Gu Dashi's health was not good, and even after using a lot of good medicine, he still couldn't get better.
After Huang Zhongan finished speaking, he signaled to the medicine boy beside him to help him leave. If it weren't for Mr. Gu's family, he, an old man, would not have gone out to see the patient.
Now he has been examined and given the injection, but he is only breathing his last breath. There is nothing we can do to save him. Let him spend some time with his family!
Watching the old doctor leave, the whole atmosphere became even more solemn.
In this short moment, many people were thinking more, and everyone looked at Gu Wenheng with worried eyes.
Gu Wenheng shook his head at everyone, "Go ahead and give the order!"
What can we do now? We can only face the facts.
…
In the end, Gu Dashi did not survive for two days as the doctor had said, and died that very night.
Gu Wenheng immediately submitted a petition for Ding You and had it sent to Shangjing at full speed.
In the mourning hall, Gu Yuanjin quietly asked Gu Wenheng, "Seventh Brother, what should we do with the job you have?"
Gu Wenheng stared at the candlelight in front of him and said, "The most urgent thing now is to take care of Dad's funeral. Don't worry about other things."
He had been thinking of hiding away in Gaoling Village for a few years and having some leisure time, but he was afraid that this would not be possible.
It’s just that Gu Wenheng would never mention these unknown things even in private, so how could he answer them in such an occasion?
Gu Yuanjin and the others all knew that it would be extremely difficult for Ding You to be reinstated.
So they tried their best to take good care of the two elderly people's health over the years, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't prevent it.
"Brother," Gu Yuanhuo had a lot of questions in his mind. Now that only the brothers were on guard in the mourning hall, he naturally had no scruples, "What about Gu Yuanfeng, are we just going to let her stay in the Shi family?
I've told you a long time ago that she is a troublemaker and has caused us a lot of trouble over the years.
As his brother, we should just tolerate it, but what did she do this time?
If you ask me to call her a beast, I would be flattering her. I don't believe it. Doesn't she know what her actions will bring to her father? "
"Third brother, don't be so irritable all the time," Gu Yuanshui put his hand on his shoulder and said, "The most urgent thing is to settle Dad first. She can't escape the account that needs to be settled."
"Huh, you're always so perfunctory every time," Gu Yuanhuo snorted heavily and turned his head away.
