CHAPTER 183: CHAPTER 183: COUGHING BLOOD

Gu Yunjiao saw that he spoke politely and was wearing a brocade robe, so he probably wasn’t a highway robber.

She moved out of the carriage, "Where is your young master?"

The man in the brocade robe pointed to the roadside.

Gu Yunjiao looked over and saw two horses stopped by the roadside, and a man lying on the ground.

Gu Yunjiao got off the carriage, "I am a doctor, let me take a look first."

The man in the brocade robe was taken aback and glanced at Gu Yunjiao but said nothing.

At this moment, the two carriages behind also stopped.

Jiang Youzhi had just gotten out of the carriage and saw Gu Yunjiao walking toward the roadside with a man, so he quickly walked over too.

Gu Yunjiao approached the man and noticed that his moon-white brocade robe was already stained red with blood.

The man looked at the sky with his eyes open, and there were traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and a sour stench.

Gu Yunjiao frowned and carefully examined the bloodstains on the man’s body before crouching down to take his pulse.

Jiang Youzhi was beside her, remaining silent, just watching.

Gu Yunjiao finished taking the pulse and stood up, "He drank so much alcohol that it caused gastric bleeding."

"We must stop the bleeding immediately, or it will be life-threatening."

She paused, "Bring him to my carriage, and I’ll use the Golden Needle to stop the bleeding."

The man on the ground said, "Thank you, Doctor, but my illness doesn’t need treatment."

He spoke while blood continued to spill from his mouth, "Ah Hu, pay the doctor the consultation fee."

Gu Yunjiao was exasperated. Brother, you are like this and still refuse treatment; are you seeking death?

Ah Hu, looking worried, said to the man on the ground, "Young master, I beg you, let the doctor treat you."

"Think about it, we come across a doctor in a place like this; isn’t it heaven’s will?"

"It’s heaven’s will for you to live."

The man on the ground gazed at the sky and murmured, "Could it be fate?"

"Is it fate that wants me to live?"

Gu Yunjiao frowned, "Enough with the nonsense, stop talking and get him into my carriage."

She waved to Liu Er, "Uncle Liu Er, pull the carriage over."

Ah Hu bowed to the man on the ground, "Young master, please forgive my rudeness."

He bent down, carried the man on his back, and walked to the carriage. Mrs. Chen and the Third Miss quickly came out of the carriage.

Ah Hu placed the man inside the carriage.

Gu Yunjiao opened the medicine box, took out the Golden Needle, disinfected it with medicinal alcohol, then pulled open the man’s clothes and started to administer the needles.

Jiang Youzhi and Ah Hu watched from the side.

After the needles were in place, Gu Yunjiao exited the carriage.

She said to Ah Hu, "The bleeding has temporarily stopped."

"But he still needs to take medicine."

She turned her head to glance at the carriage, "In this condition, he can’t continue riding."

"You need to get a carriage to take him to the city; it will be more convenient for him to take medicine."

Ah Hu glanced at Liu Er’s carriage, and Gu Yunjiao shook her head, "Our carriage won’t do, it’s crowded and there’s no room. Besides, we need to head to Prefecture City."

"How about this, let him rest in our carriage for a while. I’ll prescribe a remedy for you, and you get the medicine and give it to him as soon as possible."

Ah Hu thought for a moment, "Are you heading to Prefecture City?"

"Then I’ll see if I can get a carriage to travel with you."

This place is isolated, and it’s rare to find a doctor. Although he wasn’t sure of the doctor’s capability, he had to follow, or the young master’s life would be in danger.

Gu Yunjiao said, "Do as you wish."
