"Master Jiu's body is a little deficient in Qi and blood. This is probably because he was depressed in the past and did not take good care of himself, so he has such symptoms. However, this is not difficult to adjust. As long as he takes good medicine for two or three years, he will be able to recover."

Du Jingyi nodded. The general's mansion had everything and he could get any precious things he wanted to nourish his body.

"Then what about Ninth Brother's leg injury and throat injury... is there any cure?"

Gu Shaoyu spoke directly, and Gu Jiulang meant the same thing. Instead of hiding it, it would be better to make it clear all at once.

In response, the doctors looked a little solemn, and then they spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Master Jiu's leg injury was caused by a fall. If he had been treated at the time, he could have recovered. But now it has been more than 20 years, and the dislocated bones in his waist have long grown strong. If he were to break them again, I'm afraid the injury would be even more serious, causing his upper body to be unable to move. The flesh on Master Jiu's legs has also shrunk a lot, so we can't treat it. However, there is still a 20 to 30 percent chance of healing the injury on his neck. Maybe it can make some sounds after acupuncture, but the process is very painful. I don't know if Master Jiu can bear it..."

"A 20 to 30 percent chance..."

Not only is the process painful and long, but if it fails, it would be a waste of effort. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu was reluctant to make this decision. He squatted down, looked at Gu Jiulang, and asked a question.

"Ninth brother, are you afraid?"

If it was the Gu Jiulang from the past, he would have blurted out that he was not afraid, but now, Gu Jiulang was a little hesitant. It was not that he was afraid of the pain, but he was afraid whether he could accept it after failure!

Luo Yi was listening to Cai'er's translation, the self-blame and worry in her eyes were obvious. When Gu Jiulang was first rescued, there were no good doctors in the village, so the back injury was only wrapped with herbal medicine and there was no other way to treat it.

The same goes for the knife wound on the throat. They were not even sure they could save Gu Jiulang. If she could send Jiulang back at that time, would he still be as majestic as the general in front of him today, standing between heaven and earth?

So, tears suddenly flowed out. Everyone else thought she was sad about Gu Jiulang's injury, but Gu Jiulang alone understood what she was thinking, so he quickly comforted her in sign language.

"It's okay. It's okay."

The people in the Gu family couldn't understand sign language, so they just looked at the two of them and didn't say much.

Although Luo Yi was sad, she of course felt that it was unnecessary to suffer for a long time in exchange for a 20% to 30% chance. Then she looked at Gu Jiulang and expressed her firm opinion using sign language.

"Jiulang, if you stay like this for the rest of your life, my child and I will not leave you. Otherwise, let's just forget it."

Nian Jin looked at her father without saying anything, but the worry in her eyes directly expressed her attitude.

Similarly, Fourth Aunt’s attitude towards this matter was the same as theirs, so she spoke frankly to her son.

"If it were in the past, I would definitely advise you to give it a try, but now, I just hope you can live the rest of your life peacefully. If you can't speak, then you can't. At worst, we can all learn sign language. Besides, you still have your hands, so you can express yourself with just pen and paper, right?"

Gu Jiulang was silent, listening to everyone's words. He was a little undecided for a moment. However, everyone just waited quietly for him to think it through.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and when Gu Jiulang looked up again, his eyes had gradually become clear and firm. He only wrote one sentence on the paper.

“Is this the worst possible outcome?”

The older doctor nodded after reading it and then explained.

"Acupuncture won't damage Master Jiu's other parts, but the pain will be more obvious, and the needles will be inserted every two or three days. I estimate that it will take at least a year to be cured."

By this calculation, it means that at least more than one hundred acupuncture treatments are needed to have even a slight chance. Of course, others felt that there was no need to take the risk, but Gu Jiulang nodded in agreement.

Then write it on paper.

"Then let's give it a try. Even if I can't recover to my previous state, it's better than now. I've seen the worst results. There's also the benefit of moving upwards. It's just a little pain, which is not a big deal. If it's a leg injury, there's still a 20% to 30% chance of recovery. I'm even more willing!"

Since he had already spoken like this, there was no point in trying to persuade him any further. The doctor was also willing to devote his efforts, so he began to explain.

"Then let's start by conditioning our body. A stronger body will also be beneficial for the subsequent recovery of our voice. Master Jiu, don't be anxious. Let's take it slowly."

Gu Jiulang nodded, and then Luo Yi and Nian Jin stood behind him, as if to give him strength, so that he could have more comfort during this long treatment process.

After deciding on the treatment plan, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi saw the doctors off, and on the way back to the yard, they discussed the matter in detail.

"There is no news from my aunt yet. I think we should wait and see. What if other famous doctors have a solution? Especially Xia Meng. If she can make this trip, I think she will be more reliable than any other famous doctor!"

She had seen Xia Meng's medicine box before. It had a huge space and was filled with things she had never seen before. But those things were all life-saving. Maybe she had other ways to treat Gu Jiulang's injury.

"Yes, Madam is right. Let the doctors take care of Ninth Brother's body first, and we'll talk about it after my sister-in-law arrives!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Both of them are more optimistic about Xia Meng's medical skills. Anyway, the situation has come to this point, and if there is a chance, they don't want to miss it.

So he sent another urgent letter to Sui'an City and waited for news.

Sui'an City in August.

There was a faint scent of osmanthus wafting through the streets, and the same was true inside the Xing family's house. The osmanthus they transplanted were all famous varieties, so the taste was sweet and not greasy.

It took about ten days for the credit to be delivered to Xing's house.

Aunt Xing originally thought that it was a letter from her sister-in-law from Cezhou, so she opened it with a smile. However, after reading only three or four lines, her face changed.

Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was anxious. Such changes made Xia Meng, who was playing with the child nearby, feel strange, so she opened her mouth and asked.

"Mother, what happened?"

"They found Xiaojiu!"

"Xiaojiu?"

"It's your fourth aunt's youngest son. We thought he also died in the Battle of Jince. Who would have thought that more than 20 years later, they actually found him. But Xiaojiu's legs and throat were injured, so we helped find a famous doctor and brought him over for treatment!" (End of this chapter)
