The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 403: Gu Poison of the Northern Domain (3 Updates)



Meng Chen gave Liu Zixuan a bitter smile, "I admit, the purpose of finding Meng Yu wasn't entirely pure, but it truly was beyond my control."

"Poor people envy the lives of the rich, and rural areas envy the lives of city families. But sometimes, those wealthy people and families long for the simple life of the countryside."

"Because in the countryside, there's no family intrigue or profit competition. Poor people have the perseverance and determination to fight, but us so-called rich family people have no freedom or anything of our own. From birth, everything is arranged for us!"

Liu Zixuan grinned slightly. Meng Chen's words were not entirely unreasonable, but this was no excuse to ask for Meng Yu's help!

Meng Yu gently patted the back of Meng Chen's hand, "I don't blame you. We'll discuss these matters later. Let's treat Dongdong's illness first!"

"Do you know who put the Gu on Dongdong, or is there anyone you suspect?" Liu Zixuan asked again.

Because Gu is fundamentally different from poison. Simple poison Liu Zixuan can easily detoxify, but even the simplest Gu requires identifying the venomous insects involved, only then can it be more easily resolved.

Meng Chen lowered his head in thought for a moment, "It should be those people who turned against the Meng Family. I remember hearing from some elders in the family before. They came from the Northern Domain and are skilled in some peculiar things that ordinary people wouldn't know!"

Gu has existed since Ancient Times, known then as witchcraft.

Over tens of thousands of years of evolution, it is found almost everywhere in the world. In Star Sea, there are three regions, one of which is near Cacti West, also known as the Gu of the Western Border, mostly snake Gu, silkworm Gu, etc. The most powerful is the Three-Corpse Gu. It is said to take more than a hundred years for a mother insect of a Three-Corpse Gu to mature! Its power is such that just releasing some scent is enough to kill a strong man on the spot!

The southern border regions have Gu too, more terrifying than the Gu of the Western Border, mostly refined from sinister things, and sometimes called Human Gu!

Among them, there is a rather unconventional Gu from the Barbaric Land of the Northern Domain, primarily composed of Water Gu and Fire Gu.

These Gu are not particularly powerful, and can have an especially long dormancy period in the human body, some even lasting from birth until the end of one's life.

However, the only disgusting thing is that this kind of Gu causes the infected person to endure the pain of Cold Ice piercing or flames scorching the heart every day. It truly can be considered torture!

If this is really the case, the person who placed the Gu didn't want Meng Dongdong to die, but wanted to torture him to force the Meng Family to compromise.

Just then, Zhou Nian and Meng Zhihao ran in from outside.

Zhou Nian handed the phone to Liu Zixuan, "Found it. Around one o'clock this morning, someone indeed went in, but only a silhouette was captured. This person must be very skilled because apart from leaving a silhouette at the critical care entrance, there are no other cameras that caught him elsewhere!"

Liu Zixuan took the phone and looked at it. It showed a man seemingly in his thirties, with short hair, wearing a black coat.

"Take a look, see if you recognize him!" Liu Zixuan handed the phone to Meng Chen.

"What's going on?" Meng Zhihao asked with a puzzled expression.

Liu Zixuan took the blood sample from his hand and said to Zhou Nian, "Notify the operating room to prepare for Meng Dongdong's surgery, I'm going to instruct the pharmacy to brew National Medicine!"

"Okay!"

As for who placed the Gu, Liu Zixuan was not concerned right now. What he needed to do was to first help Meng Dongdong with the surgery and remove the Gu from his body!

The Gu had just been placed and hadn't matured yet, making it the perfect time for action.

After giving instructions, Liu Zixuan headed straight to the National Doctor's pharmacy. There, he had the nurse prepare exactly thirty kinds of herbs for him. Once all were ready, Liu Zixuan returned to the operating room.

Zhou Nian asked, "Is this treatment only for the injury to his head?"

"And the Gu. In a bit, I'll help with his head injury first. After that, you and the nurses will need to leave to prevent any mutations of the Gu during the procedure."

In fact, Liu Zixuan could also help cure Meng Dongdong's peculiar symbiotic blood condition, but it required a rare herb, Polygonum multiflorum, which he previously got from Crazy Zhou and left at the apartment. So, it would have to wait for now!

Once everyone gathered, Liu Zixuan began treating Meng Dongdong's head wound. He removed the hard object pressing on the cerebellum, then used Silver Needle to stimulate the nerves, aiding in the recovery of cerebellar function. Only this way could postoperative complications, such as brain paralysis or dementia, be avoided!

About forty minutes later, Liu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "You can leave now. I'll take a rest and then remove the Gu insect!"

"Alright." A nurse nodded and left, while Zhou Nian said with concern, "Be careful!"

"Don't worry, these little Gu insects are no threat to me." Liu Zixuan smiled.

Watching the extra blood flow into Meng Dongdong's veins and seeing his breathing and complexion improve significantly, Liu Zixuan felt a bit relieved.

After resting for five to six minutes, Liu Zixuan brought over a chair and sat beside the operating table, placing forceps, a spirit lamp, and Silver Needle within reach.

Two Silver Needles were inserted at the small wound's perimeter to prevent the Gu from fleeing. Then, he carefully opened the newly healing wound and slowly took the Gu out with forceps.

Under the spirit lamp, Liu Zixuan examined it closely. Several hours before, the Gu was the size of a millet grain; now it was as big as a rice grain. This showed just how fast this type of Gu could grow.

The Gu insect was clamped by the forceps and slowly moved to the side of the spirit lamp for burning.

Before long, black smoke filled the air.

The stinging smell irritated his eyes, so Liu Zixuan pinched his nose and quickly set it aside, proceeding to look for other Gu!

Worried about leaving indelible scars on Meng Dongdong, Liu Zixuan was exceptionally cautious with every movement.

It took forty minutes to perform a surgery, but searching for these Gu took over three hours! After all, Liu Zixuan had to simultaneously heal Meng Dongdong's wound and completely expel the toxins left by the Gu!

This was all thanks to knowing the origin of the Gu; otherwise, it would have taken Liu Zixuan three days of research to completely eradicate those Gu, let alone three hours!

Outside.

Everyone waited together, each clutching cold sweat in their hands.

Several hours later, a few girls still retained some patience, but Meng Zhihao couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up directly, "Can Liu Zixuan really do it? It's been three to four hours treating a disease; did he make it worse and doesn't dare to come out!"
