Chapter 254 Execution
Gong Yu looked around, then he bowed and whispered a few words in Kuang Youzhi’s ear. Kuang Youzhi looked up and stared at Gong Yu deeply, he frowned and contemplated. After a moment He nodded slowly.
“OK! Do as you say!”
“However, it is imperative that Xiao Xi’s eyes are cured first, otherwise I can’t act at ease.” Gong Yu’s amber eyes were looking at Murong Yunxi; the soft light in them reflected his deep love.
Kuang Youzhi also looked at Murong Yunxi and nodded. “Let’s go! See how she is doing!”
Gong Yu, Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi came to Murong Yunxi’s side. When Murong Yunxi heard the footsteps, she stopped to listen.
“Gong Yu.” Mu Rong Yunxi smiled lightly, and the smile was sincere and sweet. At the moment, her hearing was good enough to easily distinguish familiar sounds.
“Xiao Xi, guess who is back?” Gong Yu smiled softly. There was no trace of cold in his tone, which surprised Baili Ziyi.
Baili Ziyi stared at Gong Yu and pushed Kuang Youzhi. “Hey, you damn fool, your apprentice can smile!”
Kuang Youzhi looked at Baili Ziyi as if she were an idiot. “Of course, everyone can smile!”
Baili Ziyi slapped Kuang Youzhi on his arm. “You damn fool, I know that everyone can smile! I knew your apprentice for a long time, but I never saw him smile. It’s the first time that I’ve seen your apprentice smile, OK?”
When Kuang Youzhi was slapped, he glanced at Gong Yu. It was a humiliating thing for him to be beaten by his wife in front of his apprentice. Fortunately, all of Gong Yu’s attention was on Murong Yunxi.
“He just didn’t meet the one he was willing to smile to.”
“Wow, old man, it’s not easy for you to say something like that!”
“Okay, don’t mess around all day. We should get down to business first.”
Murong Yunxi rested on Gong Yu and listened to the conversation between Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi. She couldn’t help but admire them a little bit. A relationship where the couple was constantly arguing for a lifetime could be happy. She and Gong Yu seemed to be sweet and happy, but the happiness was a little unsettling. She was always afraid that such happiness couldn’t last long and it was just a fleeting firework, too bright to be true. Sometimes people couldn’t even catch its tail; only the dark and lonely sky remained.
“Xiao Xi, master came back with his wife, she is a poison master. Maybe she can find out what poisoned you. Master and his wife will work together, your eyes should be cured before long.”
“Then I’ll leave her to you.”
Mu Rong Yunxi bent towards Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi with courtesy.
Baili Ziyi came forward and looked at Murong Yunxi with a smile. “Oh, the girl is really pretty. Xiao Yu, you have a great taste. Where did you find this doll?”
Murong Yunxi smiled softly and her cheeks flushed a little. “Your are too kind.”
Gong Yu gently embraced Murong Yunxi in his arm; he was so proud, it seemed as if he was the one praised.
Kuang Youzhi opened his mouth at the right time and said, “Ziyi, you shoud check on Xiao Xi.”
Baili Ziyi brought Murong Yunxi to the front yard. “Let’s go back to the room, Xiao Xi.”
Baili Ziyi was very frank and she was a person who acted on her words. Murong Yunxi was quite into her personality, and she felt closer to Baili Ziyi.
They all returned to the room in the front yard. While Murong Yunxi was sitting on the chair, Baili Ziyi gave her a full examination. First, she looked into her eyes and felt her pulse, then she inserted silver needles in some points on her body…
About half an hour later, Baili Ziyi packed her tools.
Kuang Youzhi saw that Baili Ziyi had done her work, he didn’t ask or say something. He just took Baili Ziyi’s place and checked Murong Yunxi’s pulse once again. The diagnosis went on for another hour.
Gong Yu had been watching nervously on the side with his hands clasped; there were sweat beads on his forehead. He frowned since the beginning. Murong Yunxi, on the contrary, was much more calm. She waited in silence and cooperated with the examination.
Finally, Kuang Youzhi opened his eyes slowly, and he stopped frowning. He turned to look at Baili Ziyi. “What do you think?”
Baili Ziyi was serious at the moment. She sat beside Kuang Youzhi and said, “I have never seen this poison before. Judging by the reaction, it’s a toxin similar to that of a poisonous insect. It will erode human nerves. Xiao Xi’s blindness was caused by the poison damaging the visual nerve. The toxin is very bad; it can corrode the nervous system and finally lead to multi-organ failure and death. Fortunately, Xiao Xi expelled the poisonous blood in time. Only some remaining toxins have invaded her visual nerve, so she was blinded. If she didn’t expel poisonous blood in time, she may have died back then.”
The last words of Baili Ziyi made Gong Yu’s heart ache badly. His face instantly turned pale; even his lips were colorless.
Kuang Youzhi then said, “Now that the visual nerve has been eroded, it’s not easy to repair it.”
Baili Ziyi thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I have one method. There is a poison that has the effect of restoring the nerve, but it might directly damage other organs. But we can try improving the antidote, and let it only work in a beneficial way. However, it may have sequelae.”
Kuang Youzhi nodded. “Well, I’ve heard of this poison, but the incidence of sequelae is still very high.”
Baili Ziyi looked at Kuang Youzhi. “Do you have any better solutions to the sequelae?”
Kuang Youzhi meditated for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and ran into the study room.
Baili Ziyi shook her head gently and mocked. “You are so edgy, like a rash young man.”
Gong Yu was worried and asked, “Master’s wife, as you just mentioned, what sequelae may it cause?”
“She has a damaged visual nerve, so the sequelae may be irregular eye pain, tears, or visual impairment, or the eyes’ colour could change. These are the most common symptoms. There are other possibilities, but the odds are relatively low, such as headache, long-term insomnia, facial convulsion and so on.”
“You said just now that the probability of sequelae is high. How high is the probability?”
“Eighty percent.”
“That is to say, there is still a twenty percent chance that it will not happen. Is it possible to reduce the probability of sequelae a little bit?”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s up to your master.”
Three of them were waiting for most of the day, and continued until sunset. Kuang Youzhi still didn’t come out of the study room.
It was getting dark and everthing was fading into the darkness around the valley. Just then, Kuang Youzhi ran out of the study excitedly.
“There’s a way…”
Kuang Youzhi’s voice was full of excitement, which infected the other three people waiting in the room, as if they had already solved the problem.
Kuang Youzhi ran into the room and left a book on the table. “We don’t need to use poison against poison. I have a new solution.”
Baili Ziyi looked at Guo Youzhi in surprise. “Oh? You have another way?”
Gong Yu looked at Kuang Youzhi expectantly. “Master, have you found another way?”
“Yes, there is another way, with no sequelae.”
“You damn fool, tell us!”
“Change the nerves!”
“What? What do you mean by ‘change the nerves’?”
“Gong Yu and Xiao Xi should know that it’s equivalent to an organ transplant.”
In that world, Gongyu and Murong Yuncheng knew that many people did organ transplants, but they never heard of nerve transplants.
“Master, is this really feasible? We’ve heard about organ transplants. This nerve transplant…”
“Here’s a way to combine organ transplantation methods.”
“Master, it’s just your conjecture. Are you certain?”
“Well, I’ve been practicing all afternoon and I’ve tried all kinds of possibilities. It’s gonna work.”
“Even if your method is applicable. Where do we find the nerve?”
“Go out and find someone who is dying. That’s all I need.”
“Well, I’ll go right now!”
“Wait, Xiao Yu, how can you go out now? Let others go. It’s easy for you to get in danger when you’re outside now. You should hold up for your real business.”
“This…”
“Well, there are other people you can order, and it’s not something that you have to do personally. Let them go. It’s not difficult for them.”
Later, Dong Fangying and five others happened to find a poor family outside the valley that night. There was a pregnant woman who had almost died of dystocia. Dong Fangying gave her family a large sum of money and brought back the woman who had only one last breath left.
Shortly after the pregnancy, poor woman’s husband died of illness. There was only an old granny and a ten-year-old son left in the family. Her whole family depended on her to wash clothes and earn some money by sewing and mending. At that moment, she had difficulty in giving birth and left a little baby girl behind. Her entire family couldn’t survive without her. Dong Fangying promised her to leave them a large sum of money, which could support the rest of their lives. At least the granny could raise the two children to adulthood.
Dong Fangying returned to the valley with the pregnant woman that night.
Looking at the woman, Kuang Youzhi was very satisfied and excited. Because the person’s physical condition was perfect for increasing the success of the operation.
Kuang Youzhi smiled at Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi. He said, “When the woman dies, we will have an operation immediately. I have confidence in the operation, so you can rest assured.”
Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi were both glad to hear the news. Thank God, Murong Yunxi’s eyes could finally be cured.
However, Xi Fangchi who came back later returned with bad news.
Xi Fangchi stood in front of Gong Yu and his face looked very bad. He said in sorrow to Gong Yu,”Master, the latest news is that Crown Prince will execute Nanny Wu and other people secretly tonight.”
