Chapter 69: The cave master is Qin Shengshou?
"Sister, am I right? This donkey roll is delicious, right?"
Song Yu thought it was delicious, but it tasted far worse than what she made.
Song Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Wen Nuo. This kid will live next door from now on. Won't he come over every day to eat and drink for free?
If she told him the truth, he would definitely pester her to cook for her.
"Mm-hmm, not bad, very delicious, better than what I cook. Let's buy some back for Mom and Dad to try."
"Then buy more, thirty."
"good!"
"Miss." Bai Lan pointed across the street, "There's a pharmacy across the street. Let's buy all the herbs together. Land in the capital is very expensive, so everything must be expensive. Let's buy more herbs. It can save us a lot of money."
"Sister, don't save money. I have money and I will support you."
Wen Nuo casually took a bag of golden melon seeds from his follower and stuffed it into Song Yu's hand.
Song Yu weighed it, her face smiling charmingly under the veil, and stuffed the golden melon seeds back into his hand, "You should keep them to support your wife. Let's go, let's go to the medicine store."
"Sister, I don't want a wife, I want a sister. How about I marry you when I grow up?"
"You wish." Song Yu pinched his mouth, "If you say that again, I won't play with you anymore."
"Ah, no, sister can't play without me..."
Arriving at the door of the medicine shop, "Sister, my father said that your medical skills have improved again?"
"Your father tells you everything?"
"Of course, we are father and son and we can talk about anything, there are no secrets..."
"Shopkeeper Xiao, there's news from the Xufeng Inn. The young master of the Gu family is offering a reward of 10,000 taels for a doctor who can perform seppuku."
Cesarean seppuku?
Ten thousand taels?
Song Yu was secretly shocked. This medical skill really makes money.
"Miss."
Bai Lan's eyes lit up, she was going to get rich.
Song Yu pulled Bai Lan in front of him and whispered, "Don't tell anyone. I haven't performed a dissection on anyone yet. Buying our medicinal herbs is more important."
Bai Lan suddenly felt that he had missed out on ten thousand taels of silver and glanced at Ah Si beside him.
Hey, I should have practiced on Asi earlier.
Asi: Why are you looking at me like that? Miss, don’t you want to use me as a training ground?
"Shopkeeper, we need to get some herbs."
"Okay." When Shopkeeper Xiao saw that it was a large order, he greeted the customer with a smile and offered warm hospitality. He also instructed the medicine boy to serve good tea.
"Boss, if you know anyone who can perform seppuku, please introduce them to me quickly. It's ten thousand taels. If you can save Miss Gu's life, you won't have to worry about anything in your life."
Shopkeeper Xiao glanced up at the man and said, "Just give me the herbs. Why are you bothering me so much? Miss Gu has a complicated and terminal illness. How can you treat her by cutting open her stomach? I've never heard of Qin Shengshou possessing such unorthodox medical skills. The Gu family must have been deceived by a Taoist priest. We'd better return home and arrange our funeral."
Qin Shengshou?
The signature on that (Medical Saint's Notes) is Qin.
Could it be that Qin Shengshou is the cave master?
"Boss, may I ask what terminal illness Miss Gu is suffering from?"
Before Shopkeeper Xiao could speak, the herbal medicine merchant said, "Young lady, the young lady of the Gu family has severe abdominal pain. The Gu family has been in Xuancheng for three days. Almost all the doctors in Xuancheng have gone to see her, but they are all helpless. I wonder which quack doctor the Gu family listened to and suggested cutting open her abdomen and removing her intestines."
"Cut the intestines?" Bai Lan exclaimed, "Can that man still be alive?"
The herbal medicine merchant said, "They said they were going to cut out the damaged intestines. I heard from the Gu family that a few years ago, this Qin Shengshou cut someone's intestines in the capital and healed them. The key is that Qin Shengshou's whereabouts are unknown and it's unknown whether he's alive or dead. Now no one dares to cut him out."
"Girl, don't listen to his nonsense. There is no such person in our Dayuan Dynasty. The Gu family has been deceived."
"Boss, do you have a pen and paper? I have a prescription. Can you see if I have the herbs?"
Shopkeeper Xiao glanced at Song Yu, who was wearing a veiled hat, and handed her the paper and pen, "Young lady, please."
Song Yu finished writing and handed it to him. Shopkeeper Xiao took it and looked at Song Yu in disbelief. "Miss, these are all anesthetic ingredients. You can't use them casually. And isn't the amount per portion too much?"
"Don't worry, boss. I also need the best quality mulberry bark thread to suture the wound."
Seeing that the visitor not only bought a lot of other medicinal herbs, but also that he was probably knowledgeable in medicine, Shopkeeper Xiao personally went to get anesthetics and other herbs for treating wounds.
"Girl, take it."
Bai Lan quickly took out the silver to pay the bill. "There are so many herbs left. Could you please arrange for someone to deliver them to the Donglai Inn?"
"Okay, take care, girl."
Song Yu left the pharmacy and went straight to the Xufeng Inn.
"Miss, you are not going to perform a caesarian section on that Miss Gu, are you?"
"What?" Wen Nuo's face turned pale with fear. "Sister, this is not a joke. Someone could die. If you fail, the Gu family will be in trouble. I don't know what they are capable of. I don't know if they can solve the problem with money. If they can't solve the problem with money, it will be a big problem."
"Why are you all so nervous? Let's go find out the situation first."
After Song Yu and his group had walked a few steps, they saw many people posting notices along the street.
"Let's go and take a look."
"Miss, it's the reward notice from the Gu family. It says 10,000 taels!"
Song Yu saw that the entire street was covered with posters in a short while. "It looks like Miss Gu won't be able to hold on for much longer. Let's go to the Xufeng Inn."
At this time, the inn door was crowded with people and it was getting dark.
"Miss, we've found out that the young lady from the Gu family can only survive until the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man was thrown down from the stairs.
Feng Su shouted, "Send this charlatan to the authorities!"
He was so angry that his daughter was critically ill, and there were still people who were so reckless as to cheat him.
"My dear warriors, doctors, we are looking for a doctor who can truly perform seppuku. Anyone who can provide information on the whereabouts of Qin Shengshou will receive a reward of 500 taels. If anyone can perform seppuku and save my young lady, not only will we receive 10,000 taels in medical fees, but my Gu family will also offer a generous reward! Anyone who disregards the lives of others, falsely claims to know seppuku, and impersonates a doctor will bear the consequences themselves."
The quack doctor, who was originally eager to try, suddenly gave up the idea.
"Lan'er."
Bai Lan pushed through the crowd and said, "Big brother, my daughter knows medicine. Could you please let her take a look?"
Zhang Su looked at Song Yu and Wen Nuo, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Wasn't that the brother and sister he had just seen upstairs?
"Miss, seppuku is not an ordinary medical skill. It's not a child's game. It's getting late. You should go home quickly."
"Can I perform seppuku? I need to first look at your lady's current symptoms. Maybe she can be cured without seppuku."
"Hahaha...it's just a joke. If it could be cured without seppuku, it would have been cured long ago. Little girl, take your brother home quickly."
"That's right. We are all doctors with many years of experience. If there is a way, we can still give you a turn."
"Yes, there is a way. It will be your turn. This is not the place for you siblings to play house. Let's go."
"Sister, these old guys are just a bunch of quacks!"
Wen Nuo was originally reluctant to let Song Yu join in the fun, and now seeing these old men looking down on Song Yu, he immediately got angry.
"The Gu family is so arrogant. Let Miss Gu die in agony. Let's go!"
Zhang Su was furious, "Stop!"
Asi and other guards quickly drew their swords and stepped forward.
Zhang Su saw that the people coming were not to be trifled with, and said, "Let them go."
"A Su, what happened downstairs just now?"
