When Saint Ruan returned, he was covered in mud, looking dirty. However, he held a lotus leaf in his hands like a treasure.
He approached Su Yingxue, blinking his eyes. “Look, what’s this?”
“Bugs!” Su Han screamed in fear and hid behind Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue looked at Saint Ruan’s expression and knew that he wasn’t trying to scare Su Han. She thought of Su Han’s belly and raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Is this…”
“That’s right! Look at this pile. I fished them out from the pond. The eggs of the bug are small and hard to detect. If your sister drank the dirty water from the pond when she fell and swallowed all these, it wouldn’t be strange for the bug to grow in her stomach and cause it to bloat.”
After Saint Ruan finished gesturing, he casually tossed the bug aside.
After washing his hands, he reminded the frightened Su Han, “By the way, when I went to the pool to fish, 1 found that the pool had been intentionally cleaned. However, these bug that live in the wild have a strong reproductive ability, and it can’t be cleaned up quickly.”
He mentioned it casually, but Su Han bit her lip, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, the taste both salty and bitter.
“Sister, I’ll go and discuss with Saint Ruan how to treat this.”
Su Yingxue helped Su Han lie down and followed Saint Ruan outside the screen.
Su Yingxue didn’t regret bringing Saint Ruan over today. “You’re experienced and knowledgeable. You must have seen the same patient. Did you cure her back then?”
“If it was cured, I wouldn’t have remembered it. Killing the bug with medicine damages the human body. However, if 1 didn’t use medicine, they would eat the human body in a mess, leading only to death. Back then, when 1 used medicine to kill bugs, that person’s body couldn’t take it. Later on, he refused to drink medicine, so I could only let him fend for himself.”
“But 1 can’t let my sister die on her own. She can’t die!”
Since Su Yingxue had promised Qin Wan to save Su Han’s life, she couldn’t go back on her word.
“If it was in the past, 1 would have pulled you out of this mess. But now that you’ve learned how to perform surgery, your sister can be saved.”
“Dissecting the bug?”
“Why not?” Saint Ruan raised his eyebrows playfully.
Su Yingxue turned around and explained her and Saint Ruan’s thoughts to Su Han.
Su Han listened as if hearing a fantasy. “What…what? A C-section? To cut open my stomach and then…take out the bug in my stomach?”
Su Yingxue nodded. “You’re right.”
“No, I can’t! 1 dare not… This… No!”
Su Han was so scared that her body trembled. Her stomach had been hurting, and she held it with tears streaming down her face. “I’ve never heard of anyone surviving after having their stomach cut open. If people find out that my stomach is full of bugs, how can I survive after taking them out?”
Su Han was extremely depressed. She was already a married woman, and she had to bear not only her honor but also her family’s reputation.
“You can preserve your reputation if you die,” Saint Ruan sneered.
He was a man of the martial world, and he despised women like Su Han. She accepted her fate from birth. Once her reputation was lost, there was only a dead end.
Saint Ruan glanced at Su Yingxue, who was dressed in red.
Yes, this young girl could live longer.
Su Yingxue frowned. If there was another way, she would not want this to happen..
