Chapter 71: Knife
"Why did you come to our house? Don't you think our young lady is just playing around? Let them go."
Bai Lan turned around and went into the room in anger. Wen Nuo followed her in. "That's what I told them, but the people who came included not only that guy who looked down on me, but also the young master of the Gu family."
"The young master of the Gu family is as handsome as me and speaks well. He has come to apologize with gifts. It seems that the young lady of the Gu family will not survive until tomorrow morning. I hope you can go and see her."
Song Yu said slowly, "Miss Gu is in critical condition now. My visit won't help. Besides, if she really needs to undergo laparotomy, I don't dare to do it. Even if I were brave enough, would I be able to do it in time? It's all unknown and uncertain. I won't do it. You go and help your sister get rid of them."
"Okay sister, I'll go right away."
"Miss, are you really not going to go see Miss Gu?"
Song Yu was silent for a moment, "Put the medical book away carefully."
Gu Jinxuan waited anxiously in the lobby, feeling very uncomfortable.
Wen Can whispered to Song Mingen in the dark, "Mr. Gu is desperate and is trying all kinds of treatments. Our sister Yu doesn't know how to perform a laparotomy."
Song Mingen didn't think so. Thinking of the things she brought back to treat wounds, he said, "Maybe Sister Yu really knows how to perform seppuku?"
"Really?"
"Won't you know when your son comes down?"
Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard in the stairwell.
Gu Jinxuan looked over excitedly, only to see that only Wen Nuo was coming down the stairs.
"Mr. Nuo, I wonder if your sister would be willing to take a look at my sister?"
Wen Nuo stared at Gu Jinxuan's face for a few seconds, then spoke with regret, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to tell you that my sister doesn't know how to perform a laparotomy. Your sister's condition is critical, so there's no need for my sister to go over and see her. Even if someone knows how to perform a laparotomy, it's too late. You should hurry back and stay by your sister's side. Maybe a doctor who knows how to perform a laparotomy has already gone by now."
Zhang Su hurried forward and said, "Master, we haven't received the signal flare from Xufeng Tower yet."
Gu Jinxuan's mood instantly plummeted.
Is it true that my sister will die in Xuancheng?
Taoist Wuji said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope in Xuancheng, there must be hope.
If he gave up and went back now, his sister might really have no chance of survival.
"Master Nuo, it's all because of our poor judgment today that we offended you. My sister is in critical condition now. I sincerely hope your sister can go and see her. I can't give up until the very end. Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I'll try. If I give up and go back, I'm afraid I'll regret it."
"I hope Master Nuo will go and beg your sister again. No matter whether the result is good or bad, I can accept it. At least I persevered to the end, and I can rest in peace without any regrets."
Wen Nuo was touched when he saw him begging desperately to save his sister.
He must protect his sister well in the future so that she will not be in danger of death.
"Alright, I'll talk to my sister again. If she still doesn't want to help, I can't do anything about it."
"Thank you, Master Nuo."
Wen Nuo went up to the second floor and ran into Jiang Yunwan. Li Yuejiao was escorting Song Yu down from the third floor. "Sister, are you going to see Miss Gu?"
Song Yu nodded, "Mother, Aunt Jiaojiao, please stay, I will be back soon."
Jiang Yunwan quickly put the veil on Song Yu and said, "Gu family members are all outsiders who need to wear it."
Li Yuejiao pulled Wen Nuo over and told him, "Go with me and protect your sister."
"Okay, mother, I will definitely bring my sister back safe and sound."
"Mr. Gu, my sister is here."
Gu Jinxuan was delighted and hurried forward to greet him.
"Mr. Gu, please don't be so polite. Your sister's condition can't be delayed any longer. Lead the way."
"Young lady, please."
"Hongyu, go find Brother Xuan quickly."
Mrs. Gu saw that her daughter's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and she was worried that she would not survive until midnight, and was afraid that she would not live long enough for Xuan Ge'er to come back.
"Madam, please don't worry. I will go find the young master right away."
Hongyu left for a moment and then returned, "Madam, the young master is back."
Soon, Gu Jinxuan led Song Yu and others into the room.
Song Yu went straight to Gu Jinyan who was sleeping on the bed and took her pulse.
"Arnold, go behind the screen."
"Okay, sister."
When Wen Nuo left, he also pulled Gu Jinxuan outside the screen.
Aunt Lan lifted up Gu Jinyan's clothes and said, "Miss, this is the part."
Song Yu smelled the scent of medicine on her. No wonder Miss Gu could hold on for so long.
Song Yu felt it carefully, then stood up and left the room.
Gu Jinxuan hurriedly chased after her, "Miss, is there any hope for my sister? Can she be cured without having to resort to seppuku?"
Mrs. Gu and Aunt Lan also followed out.
"Miss, you must have a way, right?" Mrs. Gu looked at Song Yu expectantly.
"Madam Gu, Master Gu, I'm sure you all know Miss Gu's condition. She can only hold out until tomorrow morning at most. It's been taking too long. If it had been a few days earlier, I might have been able to find a way. Now, only seppuku can save her life."
"What? What should I do? My daughter can only wait to die? Miss, you know how to perform a laparotomy, right? Please help her." Madam Gu held Song Yu's hand tightly, "Please, please save my daughter."
Mrs. Gu knelt down as she spoke. Now that someone had finally arrived, she couldn't let him go no matter what.
"Mrs. Gu, don't be like this. Get up and listen to me first."
Gu Jinxuan hurriedly helped Madam Gu up and said to Song Yu, "Miss, you can come and see my sister. I think there is a way to help my sister hold on for a few more days?"
"This aunt should know some medical skills. Miss Gu has been dragging on for quite some time and has consumed a lot of her energy. She can't hold on for a few more days. Am I right?"
Aunt Lan said, "Madam, Master, this young lady is right. Only seppuku can save the young lady's life now. Young lady, if you have no other options, you should leave now. Do you know anything about seppuku?"
Song Yu spoke frankly, "I do know a thing or two, but I've never performed surgery on anyone. I usually practice on small animals. If you want me to use the knife to save someone, think carefully. I can't guarantee that I can save Miss Gu. After all, if I accidentally cut the wrong person, the person will die."
Gu Jinxuan was extremely excited. The glimmer of hope that Taoist Wuji mentioned was referring to this girl.
"Girl, we are willing to let you try to save my sister."
"Xuan'er." Madam Gu was a little worried again. "If this knife goes wrong, your sister's life will be in danger."
"Mom, if you don't cut it, my sister's life will be in danger. If you cut it with this knife, my sister has a 50% chance of survival."
"This..." Mrs. Gu was still hesitant.
Wen Nuo walked silently to Song Yu's side and whispered, "Sister, they have different opinions. Let's go. If Miss Gu dies with one blow, Madam Gu will definitely not let her go."
Wen Nuo had a hunch that Mrs. Gu was difficult to deal with, as he had grown up surrounded by many aunts and sisters.
"Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, it's getting late, and I'm not sure I can save Miss Gu. You should find someone who can."
"Miss, please stay. My mother and I both agree that you can save my sister with the knife. Regardless of the outcome, our Gu family will not cause any trouble for you. If you are worried, we can sign a guarantee and have all the guests in the inn come as witnesses."
Wen Nuo said: "It's not enough to just have the people from the inn, we also need people from the government to be witnesses."
Gu Jinxuan didn't expect that Mr. Nuo, who was afraid of dogs, would be so cautious now. "Okay, Ah Su, go and invite the county magistrate, Mr. Zhang."
"Master Zhang is here."
Gu Jinxuan was shocked. Why would he come here on his own initiative? Without having time to think about it, he quickly arranged for witnesses to sign and seal the guarantee letter.
At this time, on the rooftop of Xufeng Tower, Wen Can looked at Song Mingen with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother, you actually arranged for someone to invite the county magistrate in advance in our name without telling me. Did you already know that Sister Yu could perform seppuku?"
Song Mingen smiled and said, "If Sister Yu didn't know how to perform seppuku, she wouldn't have come to Xufeng Tower to inquire about the situation. Miss Gu is quite lucky. She is the first living person that Sister Yu has used to practice."
"Ha..." Before Wen Can could burst into laughter, Song Mingen blocked his mouth, "Be quiet, Sister Yu is going to operate on her soon."
