Chapter 401: Can't afford to offend, so I have to hold it in
Gu Xixi was deeply touched by her master's unconditional support.
But she still said helplessly, "Master, you don't think I want to kill people to silence them, do you?"
The old doctor didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed what he meant.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her temples.
She really never thought that her master would have such an explosive idea.
After a moment, Gu Xixi sighed, "It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly."
"You have always been a kind-hearted doctor, but in order to protect me..."
She turned to the old doctor and said with a smile, "Since Master wants me to do what I want, I won't be polite."
The old doctor's hollow eyes also smiled, "Okay."
At the same time, he clearly looked relieved.
At Gu Laosan's house, the gate to the yard was open.
Gu Laosan and Liu each ate a piece of cold steamed bread and went out to work.
They were very surprised to see the old doctor appear.
"The old doctor is here! Quick! Please come in!"
Gu Laosan called out to Liu again, "Make a bowl of our tea and add more sugar!"
"Is Tiezhu up? It's already so late, why didn't you call him?"
"We need to change his clothes quickly. How can he show his shabby appearance to others?"
Liu was in a panic and didn't know what to do first.
The old doctor said, "Don't worry, we came here after we had enough food and drink."
us?
The couple were both startled, and then they saw another person leisurely appearing at the door.
Gu Xixi did not call them Third Uncle and Third Aunt, she just said, "I am accompanying Master on his visit."
At first, Gu Xixi told others that the old doctor was her distant uncle who had come from another place.
Later, everyone gradually learned that Gu Xixi had become her uncle's apprentice and occasionally learned how to make medicine.
Gu Laosan and Liu looked at her with complicated expressions, not knowing whether they should invite her in.
Gu Xixi, however, stepped over the threshold as a matter of course and stood next to the old doctor.
Liu glared at Gu Xixi and was about to lose her temper, but Gu Laosan grabbed her arm and clenched it secretly.
Gu Laosan smiled and said, "The iron pillar is in the house."
"It's amazing that the old doctor and... Boss Gu put aside their past grudges and are willing to save my son's life."
Gu Laosan is more thoughtful than Liu.
Firstly, I heard that the old doctor had cured many difficult and complicated diseases, and if I asked him for help, perhaps my son would have a chance to regain his sanity.
Secondly, the old doctor was the best healer they could find, and his consultation fee was cheap.
This is the third one...
When buying fertilizer for the first time last year, Gu Laosan thought that Gu Xixi would take revenge on him and not sell it to him.
Fortunately, Gu Xixi didn't take it seriously and treated him equally with everyone else.
In the end, the amount of corn he harvested was indeed much higher than in previous years.
Now, not only the whole village is looking up to Gu Xixi, but people from other surrounding villages are also waiting to curry favor with her and learn how to farm from her.
So, having tasted the sweetness, Gu Laosan didn't want to offend Gu Xixi again, and he didn't dare to offend the public.
He still remembers vividly the days when he was like a rat crossing the street!
So Gu Laosan apologized with a smile and took the old doctor and his apprentice to Gu Tiezhu's house.
The house didn't look dirty at first glance, but it smelled bad.
Gu Xixi said, "Just leave the door open."
Gu Laosan nodded, not daring to say anything more.
The room is not big, probably to prevent Gu Tiezhu from getting angry and smashing the furniture.
It looked empty, with only a plank bed and a wooden box beside it.
There is a low stool next to the wooden box. Maybe the wooden box is usually used as a table.
Gu Tiezhu was sitting on the bed, his disheveled hair covering half of his face.
He had lost a lot of weight compared to the last time Gu Xixi saw him, and looked like almost two different people.
Even though someone came in, Gu Tiezhu didn't react at all.
Gu Laosan said awkwardly, "Zhu Zi, the old doctor is here to see you!"
Suddenly, Gu Tiezhu began to mutter.
"Rats and mice steal food, mice go crazy, mice bite."
Gu Xixi followed the old doctor and walked closer, observing Gu Tiezhu calmly.
She bent down, pulled over a stool, and helped the old doctor sit down beside the bed.
The old doctor rolled up his sleeves and said in the direction of Gu Laosan, "I need a basin of clean water to wash my hands later."
Gu Laosan was stunned, and quickly agreed and turned to leave.
Gu Xixi looked towards the door and said, "They're all gone."
"We are now treating the patient. We have plenty of time today, so we must use all the methods carefully."
She said these words to Gu Tiezhu.
Gu Tiezhu still kept his head down, his eyes muttering silently.
The old doctor had just stretched out his hand, but before he could touch Gu Tiezhu, he suddenly jumped up from the bed.
He screamed, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me, mouse! I'll bite you, bite you!"
In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu was boiling water.
"Listen to the noise, Gu Xixi won't take this opportunity to do something to our son, right?"
Gu Lao San didn't take it seriously, "Has there ever been a day like this in our house?"
"Zhu Zi is in this state now, no one needs to deal with him."
"On the contrary, if something bad happens to him after being treated at our house, they will have to bear the responsibility."
Liu calmed down a little, but still said angrily, "I just can't stand her frivolous look!"
"Look at her now. She doesn't even act like a junior. She doesn't even call you uncle or aunt, and she orders you to do this and that."
"You too, you imitate others and call her Boss Gu. You really give her face!"
Gu Laosan laughed at himself a few times, "What should we do then?"
"Could it be that you go in right away and offend her completely?"
"Don't be jealous of others who harvest more food in the future."
Liu looked at the boiling pot and stopped talking.
Gu Lao San sighed and consoled him, "Besides, no matter what, our son was frightened by a mouse like that, it's not Gu Xixi's fault."
"Don't act like your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes in front of her later."
Liu nodded reluctantly.
Inside the room, Gu Xixi watched coldly as Gu Tiezhu rolled around on the bed, yelling and screaming wildly.
"Master, please don't be anxious. Be careful not to get hurt."
She took out a medicine bottle and flicked it gently at Gu Tiezhu's face when he turned over again.
When the powder was sprinkled, Gu Tiezhu obviously blinked.
He continued to roll.
But when it rolled to the second circle, its movements gradually became slower and its shouts became weaker.
For a moment, Gu Xixi seemed to see panic and confusion in Gu Tiezhu's eyes.
She deliberately said to the old doctor, "I gave him some sedatives."
"He is still awake, you can examine him with peace of mind."
The old doctor nodded and accurately felt Gu Tiezhu's wrist.
Gu Tiezhu was unable to exert any strength and lay there with his eyes wide open.
After a moment, the old doctor loosened his fingers and nodded silently at Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi understood and it seemed that there was nothing abnormal about the pulse.
"Master, the patient has no response to the outside world. Should we increase the stimulation?"
The old doctor understood and agreed, "If hysteria is not caused by stagnation of qi and blood, it must be caused by the heart."
"There are indeed records that acupuncture stimulation therapy can help patients wake up sooner."
"And the usual acupuncture depth is not enough. The needle must be inserted at least three inches."
Gu Xixi gasped, "Three inches?! That should be very painful, right?"
