Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Prolonging Life for Three Days
 

Shopkeeper Gu sneered repeatedly, not bothering to defend against Ms. Xin’s attack.

He dodged to the side and pulled her hand in one swift motion. Before Ms. Xin could react, his hand had already struck the numbing acupoint on her wrist.

Ms. Xin’s wrist went numb, and she could no longer hold her soft sword. It slipped from her grip and fell to the side of the road.

“Little Cui’er, are you so eager to throw yourself into my arms?”

Shopkeeper Gu laughed uproariously and directly wrapped his arms around Ms. Xin’s waist, embracing her tightly.

“Let go! Let go of me, you bastard!”

Ms. Xin struggled frantically, but her hands were no match for him. Now with only one hand, how could she possibly overpower him?

“Little beauty, there’s no use struggling. To be honest, that bastard Di Yelei nearly wiped out all of my men, and I barely escaped with my life. I’m furious, but you ran into my hands. If I don’t take my anger out on you, who can I take it out on? Huh!”

His thirty thousand soldiers were either dead or had fled!

Nowadays, only these defeated remnants remained by his side, so how could he not be angry!

“What? You mean, you fought a battle with Third Brother?”

Ms. Xin caught the most critical point. Boss Gu had fought a battle with Di Yelei and had barely escaped here, did that mean Third Brother and the others were in the vicinity at the moment?

Her joyous expression on her face only served to infuriate Shopkeeper Gu even more!

He suddenly reached out, grabbed Ms. Xin’s chin forcefully, and his grip was so strong that she felt as if her entire jaw was numb. Tomorrow, it would definitely be bruised.

“That’s right! Not only did we fight a battle, but what about it? Are you happy to see my men defeated, huh?”

The more he spoke, the harder he pressed.

Ms. Xin struggled desperately, trying to push away his hand.

“Let go… let… ”

Only when he saw Ms. Xin’s face turn an unhealthy shade of purple did he violently let go of her.

“Humph! You damn whore, I’ll let you gloat a little while longer. Just wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you soon. Take her away!”

–

Liu Sisi sent Zhang Peng away and barely had time to breathe when Ms. Gao, looking panicked, rushed out from the inner room.

“Madam! This is bad, Madam. Old Master… Old Master, he… ”

Had something happened to Father-in-law?

With a sinking heart, Liu Sisi no longer cared about anything else and hurried into the inner room, lifting her skirt hem as she ran.

Granny Hu hurriedly greeted her, “Madam, here you are. Please look at Old Master. I’m afraid he… might not make it.”

“Don’t panic! Have you sent for a doctor?”

Liu Sisi reassured everyone as she rushed into the inner chamber.

In the inner room, Ms. Zhao was sobbing loudly at the head of Elderly Mr. Di’s bed while Di Ah-bao, Xiao Feng, and other young members of the family knelt on the ground, also crying inconsolably.

Not bothering with the weeping crowd, she cautiously reached out to touch Elderly Mr. Di’s nose wings. After a while, she placed her fingertip directly on the large artery in his neck, and after another silent pause, she suddenly looked up.

“Stop crying! stop crying, Father-in-law is not dead yet!”

Liu Sisi immediately turned around, briskly directing everyone: “Quickly, get a doctor, open the windows to let the patient breathe, and go make a bowl of ginseng soup to bring over!”

When everyone heard that Elderly Mr. Di hadn’t died yet, they stopped shedding tears and carried out her orders. Only Ms. Zhao had her mouth open, but no tears on her face.

The more Liu Sisi listened, the angrier she got: “Someone, please take the old lady out of the room and send her to the back room to recuperate!”

When it came to the word “recuperate,” Liu Sisi gritted her teeth.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was an elder and a patient, she would have wished she could throw her out directly.

The servant didn’t dare delay and hurriedly had two people carry Ms. Zhao away.

“Let go of me, let go of me, I won’t go, I won’t go! I want to stay with the old man! Let go of me…”

Ms Zhao struggled, but she was no match for the strength of the two servants.@@novelbin@@

Just as they carried her out of the doorway, the doctor came in.

“Doctor, the patient is here. It seems that he stopped breathing, but his pulse is still there.”

The doctor carefully looked at Liu Sisi and didn’t say much: “Except for close relatives, everyone else should leave.”

Seeing that Liu Sisi didn’t move, Di Ah-bao, who had originally wanted to stay, followed the others’ footsteps and withdrew, gently closing the room door.

This doctor’s medical skills seemed good. He quickly examined Elderly Mr. Di and then grabbed some paper and a pen and wrote a prescription.

“Quickly, get this made.”

The doctor handed it directly to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi didn’t hesitate and hurried to the doorway, handing the prescription to the people there: “Quickly bring it here.”

When Liu Sisi handed over the prescription, the doctor had already given the injection. He concentrated the needle on Elderly Mr. Di’s chest, his hand movements were dazzling, and the needle looked dense and scary.

When the treatment was over, the doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a sigh of relief as he stood up, and looked at Liu Sisi who was staring at him intently.

“I’ve temporarily sealed the air in his heart. I can see that the patient also seems to be holding his breath, as if there is someone he wants to see or some unfulfilled wish. With my abilities, I can only seal his breath for three days at most. Beyond that, I’m powerless!”

“Alright, that’s good…”

Liu Sisi barely smiled and couldn’t help but feel a surge of hope: “Doctor, can you…”

“No!”

Before Liu Sisi could finish speaking, the doctor interrupted her bluntly: “Madam, you can probably see that the patient’s injury lies in the internal organs, with his viscera rupturing. Now he is being supported by his breath alone. Unless a divine immortal comes, there is no hope for survival.”

The hope in Liu Sisi’s eyes disintegrated.

“So, you can’t prolong his life any longer?”

Elderly Mr. Di was such a good person, who had always worked hard and been honest all his life, but would now tragically die. This made Liu Sisi’s mood even more somber.

“An ancient saying goes, ‘Medicine can’t cure death, Buddha can only save those with fate.’ At the moment, he is suffering from pain every second. Death for him is not only painless, but a relief. I can only seal his life force with my inheritance of medical skills, forcefully prolonging his life for three days, all relying on this golden needle.”

The doctor pointed to the needle still in Elderly Mr. Di’s chest: “As long as this needle is removed, the patient will regain consciousness for a short time, like the span of a cup of tea, then he will return to dust. So, if there is anything to explain, take advantage of this opportunity and do it quickly!”

By repeatedly emphasizing the three days, the doctor shattered the last bit of hope in Liu Sisi’s heart and plunged her heart into the abyss.

Three days, could Ye Lei make it back in three days?
