Chapter 100 – Someone’s Dead (3)
“Ge, are you tell me that that little girl was the sage apothecary’s disciple?” Bai Ji’s face immediately turned into the shape of a bitter melon, “Ge, I have offended her. What do you think I should do now?”
“Even if that girl was not the sage apothecary’s disciple, she had definitely received some pointers from him,” as he paused there, he wanted to scold his young brother again. “And you! How many times have I told you? When you are out in public it is not the same as being inside our house. You must watch yourself carefully before you speak or act. So tell me, why were you picking on that little girl?”
“I will go apologize to her right away. Tell her that I was wrong, do you think it’s too late now?” Bai Zhi lowered his head as though he had learned his lesson. The rise of Jimin Hall had much to do with the sage apothecary. If he has truly offended his disciple and she was mad at them, that could mark the end of Jimin Hall.
“Yes, it is vital that you apologize to her, but don’t worry too much. I think, for the most part, the little girl was just bickering with you. I don’t think she’d hold any grudges against you.” Bai Ji felt bad and couldn’t help but comforted his brother after seeing how down his little brother was.
In the meantime, Gu Xiao and Gu Ye, the grandfather and granddaughter pair, had already finished their lunch and walking down the street in the small town with their round tummies. Gu Ye let out a burp and said to her grandpa, “Let’s go back to the herbal market and take a look in the afternoon. If we come across any good quality raw herb, let’s just buy some here. Yan is too far away and will take a few days round trip. Ge ge will be worried at home.”
“Okay! We will do as you say,” said Gu Xiao very agreeably. Suddenly, he hesitated for a little while, and asked her in a low voice, “Little Ye-er, does your master has more of that medicinal oil that he has given to me for the treatment of my leg? Will they work on old wounds from ages ago?”
“Ah, grandpa’s bottle of medicinal oil was almost gone, master and I were just about to make some more. We will just buy some extra ingredients in a little bit and make some extras.” Her grandpa’s medicinal oil was the most basic of all basics, Gu Ye could make them in the blink of an eye, “Why? Grandpa want to give them away as gifts?”
“Yes, someone who had saved grandpa’s life before. If it wasn’t for him, grandpa would have died on the battlefield tens of years ago, and we would never have become grandfather and grandchild.” Talking about his old general, thankfulness and admiration filled Gu Xiao’s eyes. The old general was more than just a superior to him, he was also his master, his senior. Now that he had came across something so wonderful, his first thought was to send a portion to the old general.
“Ah, grandpa’s savior is Ye-er’s savior. Don’t worry, Ye-er will for sure… ugh… for sure ask Master to make some more high-quality medicinal oil! Master had said that his medicinal processing skills had improved greatly as of late.” Said Gu Ye as she smacked her chest and made guarantees.
Gu Xiao looked very appreciative. He was just about to say something when a loud ruckus in front of them drew their attention.
“Oh no! He’s dead! Landlord Ding is not breathing!” Nervous shouting could be heard from the crowd. When Gu Xiao was distracted, his granddaughter was pushed into the crowd by the traffic.
Taking advantage of her small size, Gu Ye navigated herself among the people and quickly came to the center of the crowd. Pupil dilation, greyish white skin, and cyanosis. Those were all symptoms of cardiac arrest! If they perform CPR right away, they had a 90% chance of bringing the man back.
With the responsibilities of a doctor, Gu Ye pushed aside the crowd and walked up next to the patient. She then shouted at the onlookers, “Spread out! The patient needs more air!! Grandpa, and you….” Said Gu Ye as she pointed at the young man who was looked down and checking on the patient, “Come over and help!”
