I pulled Miao Xiaoxian into the taxi, and she said helplessly, "Duan Shenxing, I haven't finished speaking yet! Even if Wei Shengnan is afflicted with the Wooden Man Gu, we can't save her! Because this kind of Gu has been lost for hundreds of years, and I've only heard about it from the older generation!"
I continued, "After you see her, can you tell whether she's been bewitched?"
Miao Xiaoxian didn't dare to say anything definitively: "I don't know, but I can try my best."
“You are originally from Miao territory. Now that you are here, her chances of being saved are greater! Even if you don’t know how to cure this curse, at least if you can understand her condition first, you will have more opportunities to treat the symptoms and allow the Wei family to find a more targeted solution.”
I chatted with Miao Xiaoxian while constantly urging the driver to speed up.
After we arrived at our destination, I let Miao Xiaoxian get out of the car and then took out my phone to have the driver scan the QR code to pay.
The driver noticed my movement and glanced at the manor next to us: "Hey bro, are you guys making movies or writing novels? I heard you talking about monsters and ghosts the whole way here! If you're making movies, could I be an extra or something? Maybe I can become the next Wang Baoqiang!"
“We escaped from a mental hospital. This is the newly built facility. We came back to turn ourselves in.”
I tossed a sentence to the driver, and then led Miao Xiaoxian into the manor.
When we first came to this courtyard, it was packed with people.
When I returned, the parking lot outside was empty, and the gate to the courtyard was tightly closed.
It seems that Old Master Wei was truly hurt by Liu Ding's words and drove everyone away.
At the entrance of the manor, a security guard saw me approaching and immediately stopped me: "Halt! This is a private garden; tourists are not allowed!"
I shouted from across the gate, "I'm a guest of the Wei family. Someone has come to treat Wei Shengnan. Open the door now!"
"I'm sorry, orders from above do not allow anyone to enter!"
The security guard had seen too many doctors that day and was already numb to me: "I don't care what your purpose is, but the orders from above have come down, you can leave."
I didn't expect the Wei family to get rid of everyone so quickly. Too lazy to waste words with the security guards, I took out my phone and dialed Wei Xiao's number: "Uncle Wei, this is Duan Shenxing. I'm outside the manor gate. Please ask the security guards to open the gate for me. I have urgent business to discuss with you and Grandpa Wei."
"I was so busy today, how could I have forgotten about you?"
Although Wei Xiao was in a bad mood, he still said something polite: "Please wait a moment, I will have my secretary come to pick you up."
Before long, a Land Rover Range Rover pulled up at the gate, and Wei Xiao's secretary picked me and Miao Xiaoxian up and took us to Wei Shengnan's villa.
When I arrived at the door, Wei Xiao was also there seeing the guests off. I felt that the person he would personally see off at this time must not be one of the ordinary doctors from before. Although they were unable to save the person, the Wei family still had to fulfill their proper etiquette.
After seeing the two men off, Wei Xiao saw me get out of the car and said with a haggard face, "Xiao Duan, I'll have my secretary prepare a guest room for you. You can rest first, and we can talk tomorrow."
I shook my head: "Uncle Wei, I have something urgent to discuss with you and Grandpa Wei right now."
"My dad won't be seeing any guests tonight."
With reddened eyes, Wei Xiao said, "Nannan just had another attack. She's like a madwoman. The more she struggles, the faster that strange illness spreads. She probably won't make it through the night! The old man loves this granddaughter the most. He said he'll stay in the ward tonight to accompany... to accompany Nannan on her final journey."
"I'm here to save your life!"
I heard that Old Master Wei is no longer seeing guests. Pointing to Miao Xiaoxian beside me, I said, "This young lady comes from Ping'an Village. She is the village's holy maiden and her use of Gu poison is miraculous. She analyzed that Shengnan's condition is very likely caused by Gu poison."
After listening to my words, Wei Xiao glanced at Miao Xiaoxian, seemingly not believing that this young girl had much ability. He said without any change in expression, "Xiao Duan, I know you and Nan Nan are friends and you are also worried about his situation, but my father is getting old after all. If we keep giving him hope and then let him fall into despair, I'm worried that the old man won't be able to bear it."
“Uncle Wei, the legendary doctor Liu Ding was someone I brought here. I wouldn’t have bothered him so late at night if I wasn’t confident in my abilities.”
I know that Wei Xiao's numbness at this moment is because of the hundreds of doctors who kept pouring cold water on him during the day, saying seriously, "Shengnan is your biological daughter. I believe that your feelings for her are deeper than any of ours, but even if there is only a sliver of hope, we should try. What do you say?"
"Yes, as Shengnan's father, how could I not worry about her situation? I'm just afraid that the old man won't be able to withstand such a huge blow."
Wei Xiao glanced at Miao Xiaoxian again, hesitated for about five seconds, and then stepped aside to make way for her: "Thank you both for your help."
Led by Wei Xiao, Miao Xiaoxian and I quickly headed up to the second floor.
As soon as I entered the corridor, I heard Wei Shengnan's hysterical screams echoing down the corridor.
It was a roar that didn't sound like something a human could make; it was sharp and shrill, and it sent chills down your spine.
When I arrived earlier, Wei Shengnan was unconscious, but now, as I entered the room, she was already bound to the bed with several restraints.
The poison in her arm had spread to her neck. Lying on the bed, she opened her eyes wide and roared as if her life depended on it.
Judging from her dilated pupils, she was completely unconscious at this moment, like a wild beast, entirely driven by instinct.
At the bedside, Grandpa Wei held Wei Shengnan's hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.
Seeing Wei Shengnan's condition, Wei Xiao gently wiped the corner of his eye with his finger, then walked behind Old Master Wei and whispered, "Dad, Xiao Duan is here, and he brought a friend who wants to see Shengnan."
Just as Wei Xiao said, when he saw how sad Grandpa Wei was, he didn't say that I had brought someone to see him for treatment.
Wei Shengnan's condition had already caused Old Master Wei immense heartache. He sat by the bedside, not answering Wei Xiao's question, but simply watching Wei Shengnan shouting and yelling quietly.
Seeing Wei Shengnan's condition, I took a deep breath and led Miao Xiaoxian to the bedside.
"roar!!"
Wei Shengnan sensed someone approaching, and her screams became even more shrill.
Seeing Wei Shengnan's appearance, Miao Xiaoxian frowned slightly: "Her situation is very complicated; she has more than one type of Gu in her body!"
