Chapter 24

Since When Did Our Mother Know How to Treat Illnesses?

The middle-aged man’s face was pale and green. Suddenly, he coughed violently. “Cough, cough, cough!”

When the middle-aged man coughed, it was as if he was going to cough out his lungs. He held his breath and collapsed in pain, clutching his heart.

The man was facing the sky. He was breathing heavily, but he was still short of oxygen. His entire body was convulsing and convulsing. He could only look at Doctor Xiao for help.

Everyone retreated in unison, afraid that they might accidentally get into trouble.

Doctor Xiao’s expression changed as well. “Oh no, it’s an illness attack!”

Doctor Xiao hurriedly rushed to the middle-aged man and took out the life-saving blood ginseng pill to feed him. Unexpectedly, he vomited it out.

This was the pill that Doctor Xiao used to bring the patient back to life every time. Everyone knew that this was his trump card to cure the disease.

At this moment, even the blood ginseng pill was useless. It could be seen that this person was really hopeless.

Thinking of this, some people could not help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling regretful secretly.

“Move aside, the shopkeeper is here!” Following the waiter’s words, a middle-aged man in a dark green robe strode over.

The people in the pharmacy were all in a mess. Lingbao and Dumby had never seen such a scene before. They could not help but feel a little nervous and subconsciously reached behind them, “Mother… ?”

However, the two children looked closely. Where was their mother behind them? Only their elder brother stood behind them with a calm expression.

“Just now, mother said that something was left in the carriage. She went to get it and told us to wait for her here obediently,” Gu Lin explained patiently to his sister and brother.

Dumby grabbed his brother instead of his mother. At this moment, he held his brother’s hand tightly and asked, “Eldest brother, will this person be alright?”

At this moment, the patient who had fallen to the ground was no longer convulsing. However, he seemed to have difficulty breathing. His mouth was wide open, and he was clearly in a state where he was breathing more and less.

Gu Lin frowned. He had no concept of death. He only remembered that his mother had once told him about his father’s death. At that time, his mother had said that once a person died, there would be nothing left.

He still did not know what death was, but he subconsciously did not like this feeling. He wanted to leave with his younger brother and sister.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached. Following that, a soft hand gently pressed on Gu Lin’s shoulder.

Gu Lin looked behind him in surprise, just in time to meet his mother’s face.

Gu Qingxue looked at Gu Lin with a smile and said, “Lin’er, take care of your little brother and sister. Mother will come back after she goes to save someone.”

The three children looked at their mother’s departing figure in surprise.

Lingbao tilted her head first. “Brother, did I hear wrong? Why did I hear mother say that she was going to save someone?”

Dumbo then scratched his head. “I heard it too. Since when did our mother know how to treat patients and save people?”

“I think there’s a problem…” Gu Lin looked at Gu Qingxue suspiciously.

Other than some sewing, their mother did not know anything else, let alone how to treat patients and save people? One had to know that doctors who could treat patients and save people were all very important. If their mother knew how to treat patients, why would they have to live such a miserable life?

Gu Qingxue sensed the doubtful gazes of the young children. She did not explain, but smiled gently and walked toward the patient with a determined gaze.

When the shopkeeper saw that the man had already begun to roll his eyes, he turned his head to look at Doctor Xiao and asked, “Is there no cure?”

Doctor Xiao sighed helplessly, “The lung disease takes a person’s life to begin with, and his illness is beyond cure. Once the disease takes effect, even the gods can’t do anything about it.”
