Back at the Hu residence, Hu Zhuo hastily returned home.
He ran through all the pharmacies in Yanling Prefecture, but no one had ever heard of "Liu Shen Wan".
He thought again of what Gu Jing said when he was about to leave, if he hadn't gone back to the Gu's house to fetch it, it would be enough to show that the Six Spirits Pill should be the Gu family's ancestral medicine.
He couldn't help it and had to first bring back the six flavors of medicine that Gu Jin said, and ask his father Hu Ze Yu what to do.
Hu Ze Yu didn't know what to do? Gu Jin Zhi said it was a pill, and not to decoct these medicines.
Gu Jin's willingness to easily reveal the prescription to them is enough to show that the production of "Liu Shen Wan" is difficult, and there is one flavor that everyone doesn't know about, which plays a crucial role.
Because I have confidence that others can't guess, so I dare to show it openly!
That Miss Qi of the Gu's family is indeed a renowned physician with a few impressive medical skills.
"Throw it away!" Mrs. Hu cried on the side, "Let you go invite Mr. Gu, but you brought back a three-year-old kid and let her talk nonsense! If kids can cure diseases, then all these doctors in the world are useless!"
Hu Zhuo didn't know what to do, holding the medicinal herbs and looking at his father.
Hu Ze Yu was indignant in his heart, resentful of Mrs. Hu's prejudice. In fact, he believed in Gu Jinzhi. He had seen many things and knew that there was nothing strange under the sun.
"Go get the doctor again!" Mrs. Hu didn't wait for Hu Zhuo and Hu Ze to speak, she shouted at Hu Ze while crying, "Quickly go invite Old Master Gu! If something happens to Jie'er, I won't be able to live!"
The person who takes care of the house wasn't just scolded away by you?
Hu Ze Yu is no longer capable of entering the door again.
The old master of the Gu family is very protective, and when his granddaughter suffers injustice, he must seek justice. How can Mrs. Hu not believe in Gu Jin and humiliate her in public?
It's better to invite another doctor than to waste time inviting a family doctor who is old and useless.
"Leave the medicine for now." Hu Ze Yu said to Hu Zhuo, "I'll go out for a while, you stay home and take care of your mother and sister."
Hu Zhuo nodded and personally escorted his father out of the small courtyard gate.
Hu Ze arrived back at dusk, bringing with him a man in his forties. He was also surnamed Zhou, the eldest son of Old Master Zhou, and the owner of the Zhou family's medicine shop, named Zhou Zhengyuan.
Because Zhou Zhengyuan was the successor of Old Man Zhou, so Hu Zeyu used both soft and hard tactics to persuade him.
Mrs. Hu hastily pulled out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears, then stood up and bowed to Zhou Zhengyi.
"Doctor Zhou, please save my child no matter what!" Mrs. Hu's voice was choked with sobs, her throat already hoarse.
The medical skills of the Zhou family were ordinary, and even the old master of the house couldn't be called a "divine doctor". However, the Zhou family had always been kind and compassionate, often giving out medicine to poor families or not charging them for consultations. With their benevolent hearts, the people of Yanling Prefecture would give the Zhou family a thumbs up whenever they were mentioned, gradually accumulating their reputation.
Zhou Zhengyuan's medical skills were not as good as his father's, and it was even more difficult for him to become a divine doctor. He smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, madam, I will do my best!"
Mrs. Hu repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
Zhou Zhengyuan didn't say another word, and went forward to take a look at Hu Jie. In his heart, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was a little afraid of offending Hu Ze Yu, so when Hu Ze Yu asked him for help, he couldn't bring himself to refuse outright. He thought about going to take a look, maybe there would be some unexpected turn of events.
Even if it can't be cured, just muddle through.
Just look at Hu Jie's situation, it's clear that she is about to be silenced, how can she still be treated?
A slight mistake and people will be killed!
He killed the man, and in an instant, Old Master Zhou's reputation accumulated over 40 or 50 years was reduced to nothing. He also understood why Old Master Zhou didn't come, and Hu Ze asked for him.
His face turned pale and he took several steps back, saying: "This... I'm afraid I'm not skilled enough to help! Farewell!"
As he spoke, he picked up his medical box from the rosewood table and turned to leave.
"Hu Ze rushed over: 'Doctor Zhou, you must also give my daughter a prescription! My daughter's illness, I entrust it all to you!'"
Zhou Zhengyuan felt as if there was a ghost in the house and he couldn't wait to escape immediately.
He shook off Hu Ze's hand and rushed out in a hurry, saying "I'm not good enough at my skills, sorry, sorry!"
Ran like flying.
Hu Ze Yu thought he would send him off but couldn't catch up with him.
Mrs. Hu saw clearly, her legs softened and she sat on the ground crying uncontrollably.
Hu Zhuo's eyes also showed a painful expression. Since his sister fell ill two days ago, except for Gu Jin who said "it's not a fatal disease", all the other doctors rushed to leave, like Zhou Zhengyuan, no one wanted to get involved in this case of manslaughter.
Hu Ze Yu returned to the house with a puzzled expression.
Mrs. Hu collapsed on the ground and wept.
"Dad, let's go ask Miss Gu Jiaqi to come over instead?" Hu Zhuo finally said, "In the past few days, only Miss Gu has said that she can cure Ye'er!"
Mrs. Hu flew into a rage as soon as she heard it.
If Gu Jin was a man in his thirties, or at least a man in his twenties, Mrs. Hu would be willing to give it a try, treating a dead horse as if it were alive, making one last desperate attempt for her daughter's life!
Ke Gujin is just an eleven-year-old girl!
What's the difference between letting her treat Hu Jie and pushing Hu Jie into a fire pit?
It's not a matter of trust or distrust!
This is true!
Who has seen pigs fly?
Do you think pigs can fly?
Looking at her son's pig brain, Mrs. Hu was so angry that she wanted to slap him! Hu Zhuo is already 14 years old and has no sense of direction, yet he actually made such a foolish suggestion.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Mrs. Hu scolded Hu Zhuo, "You've read yourself stupid and can't even see what's good for your own sister! Jie'er still has a glimmer of hope, we can't give up yet. And you actually let that little girl from the Gu family treat her! How old is she? What books has she read? If she makes one mistake with the medicine, your sister might lose her life, and then it'll be too late!"
Hu Ze had a headache that wouldn't go away.
Hu Zhuo was scolded by his mother until he turned bright red all over his face.
There are maids and servants both inside and outside the house. He is already fourteen years old, next year he will take part in the imperial examination to become a scholar, yet he was still scolded by his mother.
He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put himself.
Thinking of his sister's illness and looking at his mother's red and swollen eyes, even the hot-tempered Hu Zhuo could only hold back his temper - after all, he was a man.
He didn't say another word and went out of the house.
Hu Zeyu also came out.
He had to think of another way, he couldn't let his daughter wait for death!
Hu Zhuo saw his father also came out and went forward to greet him.
Hu Ze comforted his son: "Your mother is straightforward and speaks hastily, her words are a bit excessive, but she loves you, don't be angry with her."
"I understand, Father," Hu Zhuo said, "Are you going to invite Miss Gu again?"
"Hu Ze sighed: "I wanted to invite her. But your mother doesn't trust her, and even if she came, it wouldn't be okay."
Hu Zhuo heard a faint voice and asked: "Dad, you don't believe Miss Gu either?"
"I originally believed it, but after your mother said...," Hu Ze Yu said, "What if she really can't afford it, and a dose of medicine goes down, your sister will... By then, it'll be too late to cry."
A person can't come back to life once they're dead; if a doctor makes a mistake and kills them, it's too late for rescue!
Who dares to entrust their life to others easily?
Gu Jingzhou is too young!
"But if it's not treated, sister will be even worse!" Hu Zhuo said loudly, "Father, listen to me for once, let Miss Gu treat my sister! If we don't invite a doctor, my sister will really..."
Hú Zéyù's back felt chilly.
He was suddenly awakened by his son.
As adults, their thoughts as a couple were restricted and they had some prejudices towards the world. However, Hu Zhuo's tone was very trusting of Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi is not the best choice.
She is the only choice.
As long as she is willing to be treated.
"Think of a way to get your mother out of the way, I'll go invite Miss Gu over!" Hu Ze's gaze suddenly became firm, "We can't delay any longer."
Hu Zhuo hesitated, he didn't know how to get rid of his mother.
"She has been awake for two days and two nights, let her sleep!" Hu Zeyu said in a low voice.
Hu Zhuo nodded in understanding.
The father and son went their separate ways.
It was already night, the moon was half-hidden behind the wall, and the tree shadows were mottled. Hu Ze didn't even consider whether it would be impolite to disturb Gu Jin at this hour, he personally rushed to Ma Yuan Alley.
