Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 136 shocked everyone

"Stop!" Uncle Song's voice rang out urgently.

Gu Qingyue remained unmoved, simply shrugged, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I was taking a walk in the yard when I heard some noise in the village, so I came to check it out. I never expected to end up here."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward.

"I see that this old gentleman seems to be in great pain. As a doctor, I really can't stand idly by," he said, then fell silent, adopting an attitude of complete acceptance.

Gu Qingyue really wanted to show the old man a doctor, but she also knew that he was no longer able to do so.

My healing energy can at most treat external injuries, soothe muscles and tendons, and replenish the body's blood and energy, but I really can't help someone who is exhausted and about to die.

But Gu Qingyue still really wanted to know why he had become like this, and she wanted to check his pulse.

Upon hearing this, the people surrounding Gu Qingyue stared at her menacingly, their eyes filled with cold and bloodthirsty light, but Gu Qingyue remained unmoved.

Uncle Song patted Song Ershan on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit on the chair next to him, and the group immediately surrounded him.

Gu Qingyue walked straight to the side; she didn't want to hear their discussion.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, Song Ershan hurriedly came over.

"Please treat us, Doctor Gu. We will repay you handsomely!" Song Ershan said, bowing deeply.

The expressions of the people behind them varied.

Gu Qingyue knew that she did look too young now, and in their minds, she was definitely not as reliable as Chai Hu. Gu Qingyue completely understood their feelings.

But none of this affected Gu Qingyue. Upon hearing this, she readily followed Song Ershan toward the distant stone wall.

The closer I got, the more shocked I became.

Although the old man's face was contorted with pain, his eyes, like those of a cheetah, were fixed on her, his gaze deep and filled with vigilance.

To be honest, this made Gu Qingyue feel uncomfortable.

Gu Qingyue remained silent, only extending one hand to firmly grasp the old man's right hand and feel his pulse.

No matter how much the old man screamed and struggled in pain, he could not sway Gu Qingyue in the slightest.

The people behind him unconsciously took a deep breath; this scene had completely shocked them.

Although the master was on the verge of death, his internal strength remained strong.

It could even be said that their internal energy had reached a point of rampage, and none of them could single-handedly restrain their master's struggles.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have imprisoned their master here.

But Gu Qingyue, at such a young age, managed to do it.

Although she, as a doctor, used skillful force to press his pulse, it was enough to give the old man a moment of peace.

But this action was like a thunderbolt, exploding over everyone's heads!

In the vast cave, apart from the old man's gradually fading roar, everyone else was completely silent, even cautiously holding their breath.

A moment later, Gu Qingyue switched wrists.

Sure enough, the old man had obvious symptoms of internal energy disorder. His meridians were almost completely destroyed, his internal organs were severely damaged and weakened, and he was still suffering from residual poison. He was like a lamp running out of oil and had no power to save him.

After a cup of tea, Gu Qingyue spoke solemnly: "If you have anything to say, please tell the old man as soon as possible."

After saying that, he took out a silver needle from his sleeve.

"Master------" Not far away, a group of dignified seven-foot-tall men were holding back their tears, which made Gu Qingyue sigh.

However, now is not the time to lament.

"I can use acupuncture to calm the old man down for a while. You can talk to him as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Song and the others showed a relieved expression, but then became even more sorrowful.

Gu Qingyue didn't look again, but instead inserted a needle into the top of his head. After a moment, the old man's face, which had been contorted with pain, gradually returned to calm.

After a set of acupuncture needles, Gu Qingyue's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

After putting away the silver needles, the old man was able to sit down calmly.

Gu Qingyue stared at the old man's wise and profound eyes for a moment, then cupped her hands in greeting to Uncle Song and the others before walking out of the cave.

At this moment, what fell upon her was no longer doubt, but a dense sea of ​​grateful gazes.

Outside the cave, looking at the night sky dotted with stars like the Milky Way, Gu Qingyue's emotions, which had just been fluctuating, calmed down.

Thinking of that quiet old man, his demeanor really does resemble my maternal grandfather.

Just thinking about it brings a deep, overwhelming pain to my heart.

She didn't know how much time had passed, so long that Gu Qingyue's legs were starting to go numb, when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Gu Qingyue turned around and saw, in the darkness, that all the burly men had red eyes.

In the distance, Song Ershan gratefully cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards them.

Gu Qingyue nodded and walked down the mountain.

The next morning, while Gu Qingyue was still resting, she heard voices outside.

It sounds like it should be Song Ershan.

Gu Qingyue quickly dressed and came out.

The moment he stepped out the door, his eyes met Song Ershan's.

Clearly, he hadn't slept all night, and the dark circles under his eyes were quite frightening. Sure enough, Chai Hu next to him kept looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Song Ershan was aware of his current appearance and felt somewhat embarrassed by the two people staring at him.

He quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "Dr. Gu, on behalf of everyone in our village, I thank you. My father would like to see you again, please do not refuse."

After he finished speaking, his clear eyes were filled with anticipation, completely different from the look in his eyes when they first met. Gu Qingyue felt like a heartless and unfaithful scumbag, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Chai Hu noticed Gu Qingyue's embarrassment, coughed, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Master, may I go with you?"

What else could Gu Qingyue say?

Song Ershan: Master? He was shocked for a moment, but immediately regained his composure.

"Just call me Qingyue, it feels awkward to call me Master," Gu Qingyue waved her hand and said to Chai Hu.

Although Dr. Zhang called her "Little Master" all the time, there was a hint of teasing in it. If he called her "Master" in a proper way, she felt she definitely couldn't stand it.

So, knowing they were master and disciple was enough; as an outsider, she still found it hard to accept.

When the three arrived at Uncle Song's house, the courtyard was already full of people.

Gu Qingyue nodded slightly, greeted everyone, and was then invited into the main hall by Song Ershan.

At the head of the table was Uncle Song, and below him sat three middle-aged men and two young men.

Gu Qingyue recognized the three middle-aged men: Uncle Song the Third, Uncle Song the Sixth, and Uncle Zhao the Fifth. She nodded to each of them as a greeting.

When Uncle Song saw Gu Qingyue come in, he stood up on one leg, supporting himself on the table. The others also stood up and looked at Gu Qingyue with immense gratitude.

This puzzled Gu Qingyue.

She treated the old man, Uncle Song's master, and they were grateful, which she understood. However, Gu Qingyue was a little confused about why so many people had gathered together and why she had been invited in such a grand manner.

Is it going to be money? There's no need to be so formal, is there? She's never been averse to money; the more the better. Just give it to her directly.

Chai Hu, standing behind Gu Qingyue, looked around in utter confusion. Was something he didn't know had happened to cause such a tense atmosphere?

Uncle Song waved his hand, signaling Song Ershan to take Chai Hu out first.

Gu Qingyue glanced back at the two of them and gestured for Chai Hu to leave, saying she could manage on her own.
