The stab was deep and wide, and the dagger itself wasn’t clean. If Gu Jiao wanted to clean the wound thoroughly, the skin and flesh had to be torn open.
Such a scene was truly unforgettable!
Because the wound was too close to the heart, Gu Chengfeng wondered whether it was just his own illusion, but he felt as though he saw his younger brother's beating organs.
Gu Chengfeng's hands and feet went cold!
After that, Gu Jiao began to sew the wound one stitch at a time.
Gu Chengfeng lay feebly on the rattan chair, like a lamb to be slaughtered. He wanted to close his eyes, but he thought that would be too cowardly!
He watched as the flesh was pierced by the needle and thread repeatedly, and at the same time, sticky and fleshy noises assaulted his ears. He instantly felt uncomfortable all over!
Seeing Gu Jiao's calm face, one would think she was sewing clothes if they didn’t know anything!
As soon as Gu Jiao finished the last stitch, Gu Chengfeng passed out.
He would probably be a vegetarian for a long time to come.
Gu Jiao walked out of the room.
It was already dawn. Xiao Liulang went to make breakfast for the family, while Gu Changqing kept wandering in the main room. When he saw Gu Jiao, he looked tense as he asked, "How did it go?"
"I’m giving this back to you." Gu Jiao wrapped the dagger taken from Gu Chenglin in a cloth and handed it to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing really didn't want this dagger, but it was Concubine Ling's murder weapon that harmed Gu Chenglin’s life after all, so he still took it.
Gu Jiao said, "I've saved his life for the time being, but he has yet to pass the critical period. If he wakes up the next three days without showing any infection symptoms or adverse reactions, then he’s already fine."
That meant the next three days were the most critical period. Gu Changqing understood and said to Gu Jiao, "Then he…"
Since he was still in a critical condition, naturally he couldn’t be sent home yet. The medical skills of the estate physician were not enough, and those imperial physicians would not work either, mainly because the tools used by Gu Jiao were all strange things that Gu Changqing had never seen before.
He feared that other physicians couldn’t understand these strange objects.
Gu Jiao thought for a moment and replied, "Take him to the medical hall. I'll be there during the day, and I'll have Physician Song on duty at night."
Physician Song was the disciple of the old physician in the county town's Rejuvenation Hall, and he had a very trustworthy character. Gu Jiao taught him some of her medical skills, and he knew how to use her medicine and tools.
Gu Changqing: "Alright, it’s all according to you."
Gu Jiao borrowed the carriage from Old Chief's house next door.
Gu Changqing carefully carried Gu Chenglin into the carriage.
Gu Chengfeng woke up and also got on the carriage, still feeling slightly weak.
Gu Jiao still had to clean up the room and dispose of the medical consumables. She told Gu Changqing, "You can go ahead, I'll come later."
Gu Changqing nodded, "Okay."
It wasn’t far from Bishui Alley to the medical hall in Xuanwu Street, but in order not to make the ride too bumpy for the patient inside the carriage, Liu Quan drove the carriage smoothly and slowly.
Inside the carriage, Gu Chenglin was still in a coma due to the effects of the medicine.
On the other hand, the effect of the tranquilizer on Gu Chengfeng was already weak, but whenever he recalled the scene of Gu Jiao's operation on Gu Chenglin, he felt his arms and legs go soft and his scalp numb.
It wasn’t that he had never seen a physician treat grave injuries before, but that girl was simply different from other physicians.
As for what exactly was the difference, Gu Chengfeng couldn’t say at the moment.
Gu Chengfeng's eyes fell on Gu Chenglin's face, "Eldest brother, how is third brother?"
Gu Changqing answered, "He’s not over the critical period yet."
Gu Chengfeng snorted, "I knew it! How could she seriously treat our third brother? During this three-day critical period, any accident is possible!"
Gu Changqing's eyes cooled down, "This is the result of her efforts in treating our third brother. If she hadn't tried her best, what you would have seen right now is a cold corpse!"
Gu Chengfeng was stunned and speechless.
Gu Changqing sternly said, "I don't want to hear such words again."
Gu Chengfeng looked away reluctantly.
The carriage drove for a while, and the atmosphere inside was extremely solemn.
Gu Chengfeng spoke again after a while, "Does eldest brother never doubt her identity? How can a wild girl from the countryside possess such medical skills? Don't you think she’s suspicious?"
Gu Changqing looked at Gu Chengfeng with a grave look and said, "She saved third brother as well as me."
Gu Chengfeng was shocked.
Gu Changqing carried Gu Chenglin to one of the rooms of the medical hall and had Gu Chengfeng look after him, then he himself went back to the Marquis Estate.
Marquis Gu was worried sick.
He was stuck in the estate and simply couldn't get out because of the obstruction of Gu Changqing's dark guards.
It was now dawn, and he simply had no clue what happened to Gu Chenglin.
That brat’s wings had now hardened that he dared to disobey his father!
Just as Marquis Gu almost fainted from anxiety and anger, Gu Changqing came back.
Marquis Gu blew his top at once. He charged at him, pointed his finger at his nose and scolded him, "Rebellious son! Unfaithful thing! What have you done to your brother?!"
Gu Changqing answered, "He’s in the medical hall right now and his life is saved for the time being."
"His, his life has been saved?" Marquis Gu couldn't believe it. An imperial physician came in the middle of the night yesterday, and after hearing the estate physician describe the position of the wound, he basically concluded that there was no way to save Gu Chenglin’s life. Not to mention any physician in the capital, even if he went to invite the imperial physician of the State of Chen, it would still be futile.
"You’re not, not lying to me, aren’t you?" Marquis Gu stammered with excitement. "Which medical hall is your brother in?"
"Miraculous Hands Hall." Gu Changqing replied.
Miraculous Hands Hall? Why did that name sound familiar?
Whatever!
Marquis Gu flung his sleeves and ordered, "Huang Zhong! Prepare the horse! I’m going to Miraculous Hands Hall!"
Gu Changqing stopped him, "Father, is Concubine Ling still at home?"
"Why do you still care about that woman?" Marquis Gu immediately got furious at the mention of that woman!
Dying a hundred times wasn’t enough for that woman after doing so many vicious things!
After all, she was from the Ling Family. Marquis Gu originally intended to inform and vent out at the Ling Family before disposing of her, who knew she would harm Gu Chenglin in such a short time.
She knew she had no way out, so she wanted others to share her fate.
Over the years, she had been trying to suppress her resentment and dissatisfaction, so well that not a single person found out, and it didn't come out completely until the last moment.
This kind of person was simply horrible and terrifying!
Marquis Gu said, "Once your grandmother wakes up, someone will tell her everything that happened last night, so you don't have to bother yourself about it!"
