Chapter 389 A Chronic Poison
In order to confirm his guess, Mo Jiuye jumped up and used his lightness skills to quickly approach the carriage.
Seeing the person coming, Mo Chuhan quickly pulled the reins.
He was just about to yell at the person who was blocking his way when he saw a familiar face.
"Ninth brother."
"Myna, why are you here?"
As soon as Mo Jiuye finished speaking, the carriage door was pushed open from the inside, revealing the face he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Husband, I received a letter from Xiaobai and was worried, so I asked Big Brother to bring me to the Western Territory."
As he spoke, He Zhiran, with her big belly, made a gesture to get off the car.
Mo Jiuye hurried forward and supported her.
"Ran Ran, you are heavy, how can you travel such a long distance to come here?"
On the surface, Mo Jiuye's words were blaming He Zhiran for not knowing how to cherish himself, but in fact, he felt more heartache and guilt in his heart.
He knew his wife best. She must have heard that they, the brothers, had captured Mr. Simeng alive and were planning to rush to the western border to rescue their father and brother, and she was worried about their health, so she came here.
As for why it was the mynah bird that accompanied him, Mo Jiuye knew without asking.
Among the nine brothers of the Mohist school, the Eighth Brother is the most straightforward and easiest to fool.
My wife must have taken advantage of my brother's weakness and used some method to trick him into bringing her to the western border.
No matter what, his wife didn't seem to be feeling unwell now, which made Mo Jiuye feel a little relieved.
However, his face still looked very bad.
He Zhiran knew that his actions made Mo Jiuye worried.
"My dear, I received a message from Xiaobai. I was worried that there were some things you couldn't handle, so I tricked my dear into bringing me here."
She spoke in a gentle tone, and to Mo Jiuye's ears she sounded like a young wife who had done something wrong.
Mo Jiuye already missed his wife, and now when he saw her like this, any anger he had in his heart disappeared.
He walked forward and put his arm around He Zhiran's shoulders, his eyes falling on his bulging belly.
"Have the children been giving you a hard time lately? Have you had a good rest?"
Seeing that Mo Jiuye was no longer angry, He Zhiran nodded vigorously.
"They are very well behaved, don't worry!"
While the couple was talking, the carriage driven by the fifth brother and the second brother had already arrived near them.
He Zhiran didn't know his second brother, but he could tell from his features that this person must be one of the elder brothers of the Mo family.
From this, it can be seen that Mo Jiuye and his companions gained a lot from this trip to the Western Territory.
His father’s condition is very bad right now. Now that his daughter-in-law is here, even if Mo Jiuye feels sorry for her, he cannot give up his father’s life.
He took He Zhiran aside, briefly introduced him to his second brother, and then talked about his father's situation.
After hearing this, He Zhiran hurried to the carriage where Mo Xing was riding.
"Let me help my father first."
As she said this, she prepared to get on the carriage.
The eldest brother who was taking care of his father in the carriage also heard the noise outside and opened the carriage door.
Needless to say, the woman with a big belly in front of me is my ninth brother's wife.
"I heard from my ninth brother that your sister-in-law is an excellent doctor. I'll have to trouble you with my father's condition."
Mo Jiuye had just told her that the one taking care of her father in the carriage was her eldest brother.
"Brother, I'll go check on father right away."
Seeing this, the eldest brother jumped out of the carriage very discerningly and made room in the carriage.
Mo Jiuye carefully helped He Zhiran into the carriage.
What caught my eye was an old man with white hair and skinny body.
He Zhiran stepped forward and gently held down Mo Qing's arm, which was still swinging back and forth.
Then she placed her finger on his pulse.
Seeing her brows furrowed more and more, Mo Jiuye asked nervously: "Ranran, can father be saved?"
He Zhiran withdrew his hand, his expression somewhat heavy.
"It's not difficult to help father remove the Gu, but you may not know that he has a chronic poison in his body.
This poison affects the human body very slowly and is not easily detected."
Mo Jiuye took a breath when he heard this.
"Ran Ran, you said father was poisoned?"
He Zhiran knew that Mo Jiuye felt uncomfortable when he heard the news, but he still had to make it clear what needed to be said.
"Although father was poisoned by a chronic disease, the poison has now spread to the vicinity of his heart. I just heard you say that the sub-parasite in father's body is near his heart. If my prediction is correct, once the poison and the sub-parasite come into contact, father will die immediately.
The fact that he is so weak now is largely due to the poisoning."
"Ranran, do you have any good ideas?" Mo Jiuye's eyes were bloodshot and he held He Zhiran's arm tightly.
He Zhiran had no way to answer this question now. Her father-in-law's health condition was not very optimistic. Although she could not determine how far apart the insect and the toxin were when they came into contact, judging from her father-in-law's current condition, he was not suitable for immediate surgery to remove the insect.
But if he doesn't remove the Gu, he is worried that the Gu will merge with the poison, which will be equivalent to taking his life directly.
"Husband, I need to take my father into the space for a careful examination before I can tell you the exact result."
Mo Jiuye subconsciously looked outside the carriage.
"I'll arrange it right away."
My daughter-in-law's space is a huge secret. When entering through this official road, I must be absolutely safe.
As he was speaking, Mo Jiuye had already jumped off the carriage. He Zhiran didn't hear clearly what he said to his brothers. Then, the carriage started slowly.
The carriage swayed for about half an hour before finally stopping.
Mo Jiuye opened the carriage door again and got in.
He Zhiran could see through the gap that they had already left the official road. Judging from the surrounding environment, this should be the jungle near the official road.
"Ranran, it's safe here. I've already told the brothers, and they won't bother you."
Mo Jiuye had already made all the arrangements. Without further delay, He Zhiran pulled him and Mo Qing into the space together.
She gave Mo Qing a comprehensive physical examination.
The result was better than expected.
Through observations using modern medical equipment, it was found that the chronic poison that Mo Qing was suffering from was in a state of adhering to the walls of the arteries.
Toxins will not move around due to blood circulation, but will move slowly and regularly in one direction.
This direction is the heart, which means that her initial judgment was completely correct.
Once the poison comes into contact with the heart and merges with the sub-Gu, Mo Qing will reach the end of his life.
He Zhiran had heard of this chronic poison in his previous life. People had tried to use this toxin to treat patients with cerebral hemorrhage, but it was abandoned after many clinical trials failed.
Since medical workers in previous lives were able to use this toxin to treat patients, there must be certain ways to detoxify it.
If she remembered correctly, there was a special serum that could specifically counteract this toxin.
