Song Yi

Chapter 671 Surgery as a last resort
When Du Wenhao went downstairs, he saw a stranger outside the door who looked dressed like an ordinary person. He seemed to be a little anxious, pacing back and forth outside the door.

Du Wenhao walked up to that person, who was still walking back and forth, Du Wenhao said, "Did you look for me?"

Only then did the man realize that there was a person standing in front of him, he quickly stopped, was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "You are Du Yunfan, Mr. Du?"

Du Wenhao nodded and said yes.

The man looked at the crowds of people in the Wuweitang, and said in a low voice: "Please take a step to speak, sir."

Du Wenhao said: "Then let's go to the backyard of Wuweitang to talk." After speaking, he led the man into the backyard.

When he arrived at the backyard, the man took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Du Wenhao with both hands, saying: "Sir, this is a letter sent by Mr. Gu. This is a letter from Mr. Gu to Mr. Let me hand it to Mr. superior."

Du Wenhao opened the letter and asked, "Which Master Gu?"

The man said in a low voice: "Master Gu, Minister of the Household Department."

Du Wenhao groaned, opened the letter and read it, and immediately frowned. After reading it, the man whispered: "Sir, if you finish reading it, according to Master Gu's instructions, this letter must be destroyed immediately."

Du Wenhao nodded, and handed the letter to the man. The man ignited the letter with a scythe, until it turned into a black butterfly and landed lightly, and then stepped on the ground twice before giving up.

Du Wenhao said: "Then when shall we leave?"

The man said: "The sooner the better, Miss Gu is in danger."

Du Wenhao nodded, and said: "Alright, let me explain to my wife a few words, and then I will go with you."

The man said: "Sir, you don't need to bring anything, our carriage is waiting outside the door."

Du Wenhao nodded and walked towards the store.

"What? Yan Zi is sick? When did it happen, why did you have to go?" Lin Qingdai said in shock.

Du Wenhao said: "Looking at Gu Xiaotian's meaning, it shouldn't be lying. Besides, although he didn't mention Zi'er's illness in his letter, his earnest tone is enough to show that he didn't joke. It seems that I have to go to the hospital for a while." trip."

Lin Qingdai hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I go with you."

While Du Wenhao was talking, he had already left the door, and saw that there was indeed a four-horse carriage outside the door. The person who delivered the letter to Du Wenhao saw Du Wenhao coming out, quickly put down the stirrup, and bowed and waited.

Du Wenhao walked to the car, turned around and said, "No need, there are a lot of things at home now, I'm leaving, it's all up to you, and Ke Yao can't take care of it now, so you have to work harder here."

Lin Qingdai nodded, Hantou came out with the medicine box, and said humanely: "Sir, there is no need to bring this, the house has everything."

Lin Qingdai glanced at the man, put the medicine box carefully on the car, and said coldly: "Our master is used to bringing the medicine box by himself. You have everything in the capital, so why do you ask our master to give it to Mr. Gu?" Is your granddaughter seeing a doctor?"

The man was robbed by Lin Qingdai, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to put the medicine box in the car, and then said softly, "Sir, can I go?"

Du Wenhao nodded and got into the car. Seeing Lin Qingdai's reluctance, he comforted him, "Go back, don't worry."

Lin Qingdai's eye circles were red, but she refrained from crying, thinking it was an unlucky sign, so she forced a smile and said, "Okay, I see." Seeing the carriage gradually disappear into the In sight, Lin Qingdai and Hantou turned back.

Du Wenhao thought that he would rest overnight in Xiaojiazhuang, so that he would be able to meet Zhao Kang and his son and Fu Gedong for a while, but unexpectedly, the carriage only changed four horses at the official post outside Xiaojiazhuang, and then simply ate After a meal, we set off.

Du Wenhao didn't ask too many questions. One of the two people was driving in front of the car, and the other was sleeping in the car. After traveling for twelve hours, Du Wenhao woke up from his sleep and found that the carriage had stopped and there was a lot of noise outside. In a market, the lower curtain was raised again, but no driver was seen.

Only then did Du Wenhao feel that his body was going to fall apart after a day and a night in the car, so he jumped out of the car, looked around but couldn't see the person, saw a noodle stall beside him, felt a little hungry, and sat He ordered a bowl of noodles, but there was no one at the stall, so Du Wenhao chatted with the owner of the noodle stall.

After asking, I found out that this is a place called Luan Town. It got its name because of the good kite making. After asking again, it turns out that this place is only a hundred miles away from the capital. It seems that the speed is really fast.

Soon the noodles were brought up, Du Wenhao didn't care where the person went, he just buried his head in eating the noodles, he finished eating soon, wiped his mouth, but he didn't see anyone coming, he felt a little strange.

"Brother, have you seen the driver in my carriage?" Du Wenhao asked.

The boss with facial paralysis is a young man. Seeing that although Du Wenhao is well dressed, he looks very easy-going. At this time, there is no business at the noodle stall. It would be nice to have someone to chat with, so he replied: "The guest officer is talking about the guy who is with you. The guy around your age?"

Du Wenhao said: "Exactly."

"Your car has been parked here for almost half an hour. I thought there was no one in the car. I think he left in a hurry. There must be some urgent business."

It was only then that Du Wenhao realized that he didn't even know the person's last name, and he hurriedly followed him for a day and a night just relying on a letter. It was really funny to think about it. It might not even be sold.

Du Wenhao had no choice but to sit there chatting with the boss, and after a while, he saw the man hurried over with a package.

"Why did you get up, sir? You must be hungry, right? I'm going to take my husband to find a place to eat first." The man walked up to Du Wenhao and said.

Du Wenhao was about to pay for noodles, the man quickly took out ten cents and put it on the noodle stall, Du Wenhao said: "An extra twenty cents."

The man quickly gave another twenty Wen, and the noodle stall owner thanked Du Wenhao repeatedly.

Du Wenhao said: "If it wasn't for this little brother to accompany me, I feel that there is no difference between me and a lonely ghost."

The man hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "That's right, they are all small ones." Seeing Du Wenhao with a gloomy face, he followed Du Wenhao to the front of the car, and then explained in a low voice: "Sir, don't be angry, small ones." I just didn’t dare to disturb Mister, and I hope Mister will forgive me.”

Du Wenhao looked at the man, and said: "Who are you, Gu Xiaotian? Without saying a word, I have followed you for such a long distance, and I don't even know your name."

Hearing that Du Wenhao actually called Gu Xiaotian by his name, he recalled that before he set off, Mr. Gu had repeatedly told him not to lose his manners. Before that, he thought he was a doctor with a little reputation. Later, when he met Du Wenhao In this way, Gu Xiaotian's name was called, so he didn't dare to underestimate him, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The young one is the steward of Mr. Gu's house, his name is Gu San'er, sir, he calls me San'er."

Du Wenhao smiled lightly and said, "Oh, you'd better tell me where you are going in the future. If something like today happens again, I won't wait for you, and I will leave by myself."

Gu San'er hurriedly replied: "Yes, I don't dare to do it any more, so I invite you to get in the car."

Du Wenhao got into the car, looked at the thing in Gu San'er's hand, it seemed heavy, and said: "You put me here for an hour just because of this thing?"

Gu San'er said: "This is the three boxes of ginseng that the master asked the younger one to pick up. He said it was for Miss Gu's life. The younger one didn't dare to neglect it. This delayed the time. Since the master has eaten something , can you see if we can continue our journey and strive to arrive this evening."

Du Wenhao said: "Of course saving lives is the most important thing."

Gu San'er said: "Thank you sir for your compassion, then you are done, and the little one will drive away."

The carriage left Luan Town and sped towards the east.

An ancient home in the capital.

Gu Xiaotian seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and his temples had grown a lot more white. In the huge hall, he was the only one wandering back and forth in it.

"master……"

When Gu Xiaotian heard the voice, he quickly turned around, walked quickly to the door, and said loudly, "Did Yunfan pick it up?"

"No... no, the doctor Zhao from the Tai Hospital just came and said... yes, Miss Zi'er's illness is probably..."

"What are you afraid of? Don't hurry up and say it!"

"I'm afraid there is no power to recover."

After Gu Xiaotian listened, he put his foot on the leg of the servant, who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled all over without daring to raise his head.

Gu Xiaotian said angrily: "Hurry up and send someone out of the city to take a look, what are you kneeling here for?"

The servant hurriedly got up staggeringly, turned around and ran out.

Gu Yifei came over and saw his father standing at the door with a livid face and his hands behind his back, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, I heard that you haven't slept, eaten or drank for two days. Water, how can this be done?"

Gu Xiaotian let out a long sigh and said, "Don't worry about me, how is Zi'er?"

Gu Yifei glanced at Gu Xiaotian, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's not very good. I haven't woken up since Gu San'er left, and Hua Luo has always been by my side, and I haven't closed my eyes."

Gu Xiaotian thought for a while, then whispered: "Have you found out?"

Gu Yifei looked around for a while, then approached and replied in a low voice: "Father, don't be anxious. According to my son, Zi'er was fine when she went out early in the morning. I also asked carefully about the situation in the house. The maids and servants, in addition to serving Zi'er's personal maids and mother-in-law, the people in the kitchen and the people in Hualuo's room have not been spared, and they have been searched carefully in our house, and no doubts have been found. It shouldn't be something that happened in the house."

Gu Xiaotian said: "That's strange, Zi'er was with me that day, how could..."

Gu Yifei said: "My son also feels strange, Zi'er is already 14 years old, she is no longer a child, how could she swallow gold for no reason?"

Gu Xiaotian said: "Have you asked the imperial physician carefully? Is it really Tunjin?"

Gu Yifei nodded solemnly, and said, "Not only Imperial Physician Zhao said so, but also Imperial Physician Feng definitely said so."

Gu Xiaotian was at a loss for words, because Imperial Physician Feng was the imperial physician who had been treating the emperor all the time, so is it true that he said so?But why does Zi'er want to swallow gold?
Just when Gu Xiaotian was frowning, the butler ran over and said happily, "Master, Mr. Du is here!"

After hearing this, Gu Xiaotian raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite me in."

Du Wenhao just got out of the car, and saw the father and son of the Gu family coming out of the door in a hurry, so he went to meet him.

Gu Xiaotian grabbed Du Wenhao's hand tightly, and after twitching the corners of his mouth violently a few times, he said excitedly: "I finally expected you to come, I'm afraid you won't come."

Gu Yifei said: "Your brother is willing to come, it really helped a lot."

Du Wenhao said: "The letter didn't say what Zi'er's illness was, it only said it was very serious, how dare I neglect it."

Gu Yifei said: "Let's talk while walking, let's go and see Zi'er first." After speaking, he helped Du Wenhao carry the medicine box.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Du Wenhao didn't refuse, and the three of them entered the door after talking. ,

Gu Xiaotian said: "I don't even know why Zi'er swallows gold now, is it because she can't think about it? But what is she can't think about? Yunfan, you are he, do you blame me for driving her mother out of the house, or that is……"

Gu Yifei said: "Father, please stop thinking about it, it won't be too late to say anything else after Yunfan has seen Zi'er."

When Du Wenhao heard that Zi'er turned out to be Tunjin, he couldn't help being stunned, and said, "Are you sure it's Tunjin?"

Gu Xiaotian was about to speak when he saw a maid running over, crying, "Master, go and have a look, Miss Zi'er woke up, rolling on the bed in pain."

When Du Wenhao heard it, he said, "Where is it, take me there quickly." He urged the maid to trot towards a yard with him.

"Mother, I don't want to live anymore, I want pain, I'm going to die from pain, please give me a knife, let me stab myself to death with one knife, please, mother..."

Du Wenhao almost rushed into the door, only to see a girl in white clothes rolling around on the bed with disheveled hair, Gu Hualuo stood there with tears on her face, not knowing what to do, just trying to comfort her.

Du Wenhao stepped forward, grabbed Yan Zi's small hands that were scrambling in the air, saw her sweat and pained expression, couldn't help feeling distressed, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Zi'er, brother Yunfan is here."

Yan Zi was in so much pain that she was about to lose consciousness, when she heard this sound, she looked up at the man who was holding her in her arms, it was indeed Du Wenhao, and smiled with difficulty, before she could speak, a sudden burst of heart-piercing pain made Yan Zi Pushing Du Wenhao away, he rolled on the bed again.

Gu Hualuo said: "Yun Fan, please, save my Zi'er."

Du Wenhao nodded, and said: "Madam, don't worry, I'll show Zi'er right now." After speaking, he asked Yan Zi about the location and feeling of the pain, and performed a medical examination. Yifei came over: "I'm not sure if it's gold swallowing, but it must be acute intestinal obstruction caused by foreign objects in the intestine. Judging from the symptoms, it is indeed caused by gold nuggets. I have diagnosed and treated such cases before. Jin The lump looks relatively large, and there is no way to get rid of it with medicine, and Zi’er must be operated on immediately, so in order to ensure the safety of the operation, I hope that no one will come in to disturb me during the operation on Zi’er.”

Gu Xiaotian was puzzled, and said, "What is surgery?"

Seeing that Gu Hualuo was also looking at him blankly, Du Wenhao thought for a while, but there was no other words to explain, so he said directly: "Actually, gold itself is not poisonous, but gold cannot be digested when swallowed, so it blocks the intestinal tract." , causing intestinal obstruction, so...there must be a laparotomy to remove the gold from Zi'er's stomach."

"What?" Gu Hualuo was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out, and he looked at Du Wenhao in horror, "You are talking about... the one that the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty was good at..., the one that Hua Tuo broke Abdominal healing magic?"

Du Wenhao couldn't explain, and he had to tell them that he was going to have an operation. Even though he didn't have Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier as assistants, he could only do it alone.Fortunately, all the surgical instruments and medicines were brought.Immediately he hesitated and said: "I don't know about this magical skill. The one I know is passed down from my family. There is no need to delay the matter, so I need you to make up your mind. I can only do this if you agree. "

Gu Yifei said: "Yunfan, is there any other way? I've never heard of a laparotomy to heal wounds. Think about it, if a person has their stomachs ripped open, can they still live?"

Gu Xiaotian said: "What Yifei said was, Yunfan, I beg you, please don't let anything happen to you."

At this time Yan Zi struggled to sit up and said: "Grandpa, uncle, mother, let brother Yunfan perform the operation on me, I trust him, don't let me suffer anymore."

Gu Hualuo stood up sadly, looked at Du Wenhao, and Du Wenhao said: "Madam, don't worry, I'm not completely sure, but I did the same laparotomy operation on a child as old as Zi'er before." , I have done many similar operations, if I don’t do this, I don’t have any other options.”

Gu Yifei grabbed Gu Hualuo's shoulder, and said to his father, "Let's go out, don't delay any longer."

Gu Hualuo refused to leave, so Gu Yifei dragged her and almost dragged Gu Hualuo out.

Gu Xiaotian patted Du Wenhao on the shoulder, and said: "Yunfan, Zi'er will be handed over to you." After speaking, he followed Gu Yifei and the others to go out, and then said to the people outside the door: "Close the door, you have been waiting Stay here and wait for Mr. Du's orders at any time, no one is inferior to anyone entering the house, otherwise I will take it first and then talk about it."

"Yes, sir!"

The door closed, and a heavy sound cut off the people inside and outside the house.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The moonlight outside the window was bright, the shadows of the trees were whirling, and the breeze was blowing. No one dared to speak loudly, or even dared to vent their anger loudly. There was no movement in the room.
