Still not knowing what was going on, it was all over?
Didn't Young Master Xiao say that Doctor Guan's medical skills were superb and his touch was miraculous? Could he not cure Fang'er's madness?
"Hmph, you old lecher, I knew you were nothing. Stay away from me..." Shangguan Fang'er pulled her hand away with disgust and ran behind Madam Gu.
Guan Zhongbo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "If treated by normal methods, it would certainly be incurable. But I happen to have a unique prescription. Not to mention your condition, I can even cure a mad donkey or a wild horse!~"
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu quickly asked, "Does Doctor Guan mean that my Fang'er can be saved?"
Although this old man spoke incoherently and seemed unreliable, from his demeanor, he could tell that this was an experienced elder...
"Uh-huh!~" Guan Zhongbo nodded, raising his eyebrows. "However, in this freezing weather, with heavy snow blocking the mountains and roads making travel difficult, obtaining those few herbs might not be easy!"
Madam Gu asked curiously, "What herbs are needed? I can ask Da Man to go to the county town..."
There were several medical clinics and pharmacies in the county town, perhaps they could buy what Guan Zhongbo needed.
"We can only try our luck!" Guan Zhongbo replied, glancing at Shangguan Fang'er behind Madam Gu. "But for her to be completely cured, acupuncture treatment is also necessary. With both methods working together, the effect will be even better..."
Shangguan Fang'er poked her head out, looking vigilant, "What is acupuncture?"
If he dared to scheme against me, I would chop him into meat paste and feed him to the dogs, Shangguan Fang'er thought to herself.
Guan Zhongbo shrugged, "It's just sticking needles into the acupoints on your head. Don't worry, it won't hurt at all!~"
Shangguan Fang'er: "......"
Damn it, the thought of her head being full of shiny needles was worse than killing her directly.
"No, I don't want acupuncture. Mother, quickly drive him away!~" Shangguan Fang'er was very resistant.
Madam Gu looked helpless, took Shangguan Fang'er's hand, "Fang'er, just listen to Doctor Guan this time. He won't harm you, don't worry, Mother is here with you..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Shangguan Fang'er had been living in the old Yun family for a long time, and Madam Gu had gradually accepted and pitied her, even treating her as her own daughter.
"Mother, I, I'm afraid of pain. This old man is shaky and his legs aren't nimble. He looks like he has some serious illness. He can't even cure his own illness, so why is he treating others?"
"Mother, look at his hands, they're always shaking even though he doesn't do anything. What if he accidentally blinds my eyes?" Shangguan Fang'er murmured.
Guan Zhongbo: "......"
Girl, don't you know the saying that a doctor cannot cure themselves?
He did have a tremor in his hands, but it was caused by drinking, and it hadn't reached the point of being terminally ill.
Madam Gu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, not knowing how to persuade her.
Guan Zhongbo's patience was also limited. Seeing that the patient was so uncooperative, he angrily put on his medicine box, "Fine, fine. Since you don't believe me, then there's nothing more to talk about. I wish you a speedy recovery, just don't harm yourself or others..."
"Doctor Guan, wait a moment!~" Madam Gu stood up, pulling Shangguan Fang'er, and stopped Guan Zhongbo, "Doctor Guan, Fang'er suffered some trauma before, so she doesn't trust strangers easily. Can you give her two days to adapt? I'll try to persuade her later!~"
Guan Zhongbo paused, looking at Madam Gu blankly, "I like to hear that. Alright, I'll give you two days. No extensions, mind you!"
He was in a hurry to return to Beijiang for the New Year and couldn't stay at the old Yun family for too long...
"Okay, it's a deal!~" Madam Gu smiled slightly, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my Huaihua is mute and cannot speak. I trouble Doctor Guan to examine her. If you can cure her muteness, we will be eternally grateful!"
Just then, Jin Huaihua had finished tidying up the kitchen and returned to the room to prepare to wash clothes.
Seeing this, Madam Gu pulled Huaihua in front of Guan Zhongbo, "This is Huaihua. Can this illness be cured?"
Guan Zhongbo put down his medicine box and looked at Jin Huaihua, "Stick out your tongue, let me have a look..."
Huaihua was a little shy and hesitated for a long time before sticking out her tongue.
Guan Zhongbo examined it carefully and asked, "Were you born mute?"
Jin Huaihua shook her head repeatedly, made two 'ah ah' sounds, and then quickly found paper and a pen, writing on it: It was when she was ten years old that she had a high fever. After recovering from the illness, she couldn't speak anymore.
"So that's how it is..." Guan Zhongbo nodded thoughtfully.
As long as it wasn't congenital, it was good.
He opened his medicine box, took out a silver needle, and asked Huaihua to sit on a chair, "Don't move!~"
Jin Huaihua looked nervous and held onto Madam Gu's arm tightly.
"It's okay, don't be afraid!~" Madam Gu said with a smile.
Shangguan Fang'er grabbed a large tea bowl. If the old scoundrel dared to harm Huaihua, she would smash the bowl onto his forehead...
Fortunately, Guan Zhongbo did not stab Huaihua. Instead, he gently flicked her Adam's apple with the silver needle. Jin Huaihua only felt a cool sensation in her throat, like drinking a mouthful of ice water.
"Do you feel anything?" Guan Zhongbo asked.
Huaihua nodded heavily.
"It's good that you feel something. If you want to speak, you will also need acupuncture, and your tongue needs to be soaked in the medicinal soup I prepared. It will only take less than five days for you to speak normally..." Guan Zhongbo said calmly.
Madam Gu's face lit up with joy, "Can Huaihua really speak, Doctor Guan?"
If Huaihua could become a healthy person, she could find a good husband in the future, so people wouldn't call her a little mute.
"I never brag. If I can cure it, I can cure it!~" Guan Zhongbo closed his medicine box.
Just then, Zhao Guihua and Du Tieshan walked in from outside. Hearing this, they were all happy...
Young Master Xiao indeed invited a great physician.
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "Mother, if Doctor Guan can cure Fang'er's madness, San Man will be very happy when he returns!"
"And Huaihua, she has worked for us for so many years, tirelessly, and can handle any dirty or arduous task. It's time to give her some reward..."
Madam Gu hummed in agreement, but she also worried about San Man and Fang'er.
After all, when they first met, Shangguan Fang'er was already mad. If Doctor Guan cured her, would Fang'er still accept San Man?
Would she treat him as a stranger!
Her personality was already sensitive and suspicious, and her identity was very special. If she suddenly regained her sanity, could she accept her current life?
In fact, Madam Gu's worries were completely unnecessary, because Shangguan Fang'er was far more complicated than she thought...
