Chapter 44 The Wind Rises (Part 3)



"Grandpa Gu, why hasn't my dad woken up yet?"

A four-year-old girl tugged at the old man's trouser leg and asked, her tearful expression softening everyone's heart.

"Your father..."

Dr. Gu paused for a moment

"Your father needs one more medicine to activate the other one before he can wake up."

"What medicine?" Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes.

Huo Xiaocheng, who was sitting next to her with a serious expression, picked up his younger sister and looked at Doctor Gu at eye level.

Now we can only turn to Zhang Mengzhu's connections for help.

Thousand-year-old ginseng

A hundred-year-old ginseng is easy to find, and with enough money, someone will buy it. But a thousand-year-old ginseng is something that even if someone offers an astronomical price, you can't afford it.

"Your father is still missing a ginseng root that has been aged for a long time."

Doctor Gu didn't care how old the little girl was; if she wanted to know, he would tell her.

So what if she's a child? The person lying in bed is her own father; he has the right to know.

Although Doctor Gu was speaking to the little dumpling, his eyes kept glancing towards the brothel.

The Fengyue Pavilion can even produce a pot of spiritual herbs. This stuff is far more precious than ginseng. They actually managed to produce a whole pot. If we ask, what if they have some?

He's never seen a thousand-year-old ginseng in his life, let this old man broaden his horizons!

Ginseng

Huo Xiaolong didn't know he needed a thousand-year-old ginseng.

She ran into her room and dug out all the medicinal herbs that she had buried next to the spiritual spring that day.

Hands still covered in dirt

Desperate to save lives

The little girl didn't notice that the ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms she had buried that day had visibly grown larger.

The Ganoderma lucidum is fine; it looks like it has changed shape in the same way. But the ginseng is different. The hundred-year-old ginseng is thin and dry, and it is actually not very big. It is only about the thickness of an adult man's middle finger. In the past few days, under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, it has grown to the size of a carrot.

It resembles white jade all over, with a subtle, moist luster.

When Huo Xiaolong arrived before Doctor Gu carrying several medicinal herbs...

The old man was talking to He Yi about Huo Shuwen's health.

"If he can't find a thousand-year-old ginseng, he might sleep for the rest of his life."

He Yi nodded after listening.

It doesn't matter if it lasts a lifetime

As long as he's by my side, that's enough.

As long as you're alive

At least they have to watch Cheng'er get married and accompany Long'er as she marries.

"He lost too much blood; if it weren't for the elixir that replenished his body with its essence, he wouldn't have survived."

Huo Xiaolong reached out and grabbed Doctor Gu's robe, shaking it twice.

"Grandpa Gu, ginseng."

Hearing a cry from a cub, the old man looked down at his calf, initially thinking it was a little girl trying to comfort him.

result

What did he see?!

Why does ginseng have the translucency of jade?

And it's so white it's blinding!

What is that, like half an umbrella, covering the child's entire upper body?

That's Ganoderma lucidum.

Oh shit

Dr. Gu couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Having lived for over sixty years, this was the first time he had ever seen a thousand-year-old medicinal herb.

Is that Ganoderma lucidum?

Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!

two!

Thousand-year-old ginseng

two!

It's out!

He had to take these good things to his master's grave to show them off.

Let's see if he gets so angry he'll lift the coffin up.

Doctor Gu squatted down and spoke as gently as possible.

"Come, Long'er, give the medicinal herbs to Grandpa Gu."

The lingzhi mushroom was so big, he was afraid the little girl might lose her balance and break it.

Huo Xiaolong threw the medicinal herbs heavily into Doctor Gu's arms and asked...

"Will my dad wake up now, Grandpa Gu?"

The little girl finally couldn't hold back her tears and started crying, which gradually turned from soft sobs into loud wailing.

She felt sorry for

She had only enjoyed a few months of loving care from her parents, and she loved this life. She couldn't bear to lose anyone in her life.

"Alright, alright, Long'er, be good. Daddy will be alright, don't cry, don't cry."

He Yi picked up her daughter and gently rocked her to soothe her.

The little girl's cries were deafening, waking Cen Ang from his nap.

Standing at the door, Cen's mother watched this scene, and her heart ached along with it.

This child has never cried since the first day he arrived. He's very sensible, and now he's so worried about his own father.

Cen's mother couldn't help but tear up.

"It's curable! It's curable! It can wake up, stop crying!"

Doctor Gu never married and had no children.

Looking at Huo Xiaolong, who was wailing loudly, he was extremely glad he made that decision.

Ah this

Very good

He had never coaxed a child in his entire life.

Hearing Dr. Gu's affirmation

The little dumpling instantly held back her tears.

Really?

"Really, really! I'll go brew the medicine right now, right now, please don't cry!"

Huo Xiaolong nodded; that's just her personality.

Like wind, like rain

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

Hearing that her father would wake up after taking the medicine, the little dumpling got off He Yi and went to the kitchen to release the spiritual spring.

Since fainting, she felt the energy in her dantian gradually starting to circulate again.

As long as she controls the amount of spiritual spring water she releases each time, she won't faint and can even expand her internal energy in her dantian.

Dr. Gu's side

The old man used the remaining pot of medicinal herbs, added a whole ginseng root, and simmered it into a thick medicinal soup, which he then served to He Yi.

"Feed him every last drop, and he'll wake up after three incense sticks have burned."

With the essence of a thousand-year-old ginseng and the elixir, as long as he has a breath left, he can contend with the King of Hell.

Thinking of the one who was also unconscious in the clinic

or

Humiliating yourself by begging for medicine?

Dr. Gu strode towards Huo Xiaolong

At this moment, the little dumpling was held in Cen's mother's arms, who coaxed her with words like "my darling" and "my precious child," and then blew the snow pear and white fungus to room temperature before feeding it to the little dumpling.

"Um... Miss Cen..."

"What's wrong, Dr. Gu? Please tell me."

"Where did you get those ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms?"

Cen Ang was taken aback, then looked at He Yi who had finished feeding the medicine and came out of the room.

He winked at her

"Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum..." He Yi said.

"Yes...it was us..."

This is really hard to write!

Where did it come from?

How many of these things are there in the world?

And then your family needs it now and you just happen to have it, right? What a coincidence!

"Did we grow these ourselves?"

He Yi spoke, looking at Cen's mother with an embarrassed expression.

I'm out of good reasons.

Why don't you think about it again?

"..."

"..."

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Doctor Gu knew that the two ladies did not want to reveal the origin of the medicinal materials. After all, it was understandable that the person behind such precious items would not want to show their face.

"I have a favor to ask."

"Please speak, Dr. Gu."

"I wonder if you two ladies could sell me a single Ganoderma lucidum? I have an old friend at my clinic who is also currently unconscious."

"Just Ganoderma lucidum?" He Yi asked.

During the day and night that Huo Shuwen was in a coma, Doctor Gu also did not close his eyes.

The benevolence of a doctor is fully embodied in this elderly man.

"If... if there were any more elixirs, that would be fine too..."

Didn't that little girl at the brothel say she was out of medicinal herbs? He was too embarrassed to ask!
