The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 386

According to reason, the puppet gu worms live in the brachial artery of a person's arm.

However, after shaking Father's arms several times, Mo Jiuye didn't find any trace of the child gu worms.

This made Mo Jiuye doubt for a while whether it was because the mother gu worm had died.

But on second thought, that was impossible. If the mother gu worm had died, Father certainly wouldn't have survived either.

Looking at it this way, the child gu worms in Father's body must not be in the arms, otherwise, with his emaciated body, the child gu worms would have been discovered with the slightest movement.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye had no reaction, the brothers held their breath and stared at him.

Under the gaze of his elder brothers, Mo Jiuye continued to shake the mother gu worm in his hand, but his eyes had shifted from Father's arms to other parts of his body.

As he shook the mother gu worm, he observed carefully until finally he noticed something wrong around Father's heart.

To Mo Jiuye, there was nothing unfamiliar about this anomaly.

Because there he saw the traces of the child gu worm's movements.

This location made Mo Jiuye gasp.

Seeing the ninth brother's reaction, the brothers could determine that Father's situation was not optimistic, they just didn't know exactly why.

The second brother couldn't help but ask, "Ninth Brother, how is Father's condition exactly?"

Mo Jiuye put away the porcelain bottle containing the mother gu worm and slowly stood up.

"The location of the child gu worm in Father's body is in the heart."

"What did you say?" The sixth brother was very shocked by this: "The child gu worms of Eldest Brother and Second Brother were clearly in their arms, so why is Father's gu worm in his heart?"

Mo Jiuye was also very puzzled by this.

When he read the book Gu Insects Compendium, there was no such introduction at all.

Uniformly, for any puppet gu, the location of the child gu worm was in the arms. But for Father, why did it change?

Could it be that what was in Father wasn't a puppet gu?

For the time being, Mo Jiuye couldn't think through the reason.

But he could confirm one thing, which was that the location of the child gu worm in Father's body was the same as the location of the poisonous blood in Si Meng's heart.

He couldn't help but associate this location of the gu worm with the innate gu.

Although he had successfully located the gu worm, he didn't dare to rashly operate to remove the gu worm for Father.

When he performed surgery to remove the poisonous blood from Si Meng's heart at the time, he discovered that it was in a location tightly attached to the heart. The slightest deviation during the surgery would cost a life.

Fortunately, he didn't know about this situation at that time, so when removing the poisonous blood from Si Meng's body, he was not nervous and did not make any mistakes.

Now putting it on his own father, Mo Jiuye really couldn't make this cut.

It wasn't that he was timid, but that the location of the gu worm was too close to the heart. He wasn't a professional doctor like his wife, and any mistakes would immediately cost his father's life.

He really didn't dare to gamble with his father's life.

Mo Jiuye first looked at Father, who was still repeating the same action, then looked at the anxious elder brothers.

"For now, there are only two ways to successfully help Father remove the gu worm."

The eldest brother anxiously asked, "What methods?"

"The first method is to find the old fox Si Meng and have him personally manipulate the innate gu to remove the gu worm for Father.

The other method is for us to return to Xi Ling Village at the fastest speed and find a way with Ran Ran."

After a pause, Mo Jiuye continued:

"The old fox Si Meng would be happy to see the Mo Family People accompany him in death. Moreover, with the innate gu in his hands, there's no guarantee that he won't do something unexpected."

Mo Jiuye was very clear about the power of the innate gu in its master's hands.

Even separated from its master's body, its power was still formidable and could cause unimaginable consequences.

For example, if Si Meng verbally agreed to remove the gu for Father, but once he obtained the innate gu, he could activate it to directly kill the child gu worm in Father's body. That would be a pyrrhic victory.

Therefore, Mo Jiuye didn't dare place his hopes on Si Meng.

"Ninth younger brother, do you mean that the best way to remove the gu worm for Father is to return to Xi Ling Village and find Ninth Sister?" the sixth brother asked to clarify his understanding.

Mo Jiuye nodded solemnly: "Yes, this is the only way. Riding fast horses from here, it will take three days to reach Xi Ling Village. We can only pray that Father's health holds out until then."

"What do you mean 'holds out until then'?" Eldest Brother asked, puzzled.

Mo Jiuye sighed helplessly.

"Based on my judgment, Father's current condition is very worrisome. What's really threatening his life is not the gu worm in his body, but his already dilapidated health."

When they left, although his wife had prepared many emergency items for him, and fortunately there were also heart strengthening pills, otherwise Father probably wouldn't have survived until now.

Although he could discern Father's condition, he didn't know how to treat it. Before seeing He Zhiran, there was no guarantee for Father's life.

This was also the most vexing issue in Mo Jiuye's mind.

The family had finally reunited, yet Father's health was so worrisome.

After hearing Mo Jiuye's words, Second Brother moved to pick Father up, saying, "What are we waiting for then, let's hurry and take Father down the mountain."

Even though it was the dead of night, and the way down the dangerous, treacherous mountain was difficult, he didn't want to delay even a moment that could save Father's life.

Mo Jiuye also had this plan in mind.

"Yes, let's take Father down the mountain tonight."

After speaking, he looked towards Third Brother and Liang Hao sitting on the ground.

"Third Brother's condition has improved a lot compared to when he was first rescued. I believe he'll be able to move freely by tomorrow morning."

Sixth Brother knew that Ninth Younger Brother was worried that on the way down there were poison barriers and toxins that Third Brother and the others would not be able to deal with.

He walked over and patted Mo Jiuye on the shoulder.

"Ninth Younger Brother, you, Eldest Brother and Second Brother first take Father down the mountain. I'll stay here to look after Third Brother and the others. As soon as they can move, I'll take them and leave together."

Mo Jiuye nodded, "Yes, this is the only thing we can do now."

As he spoke, he took out several medicine pills from his clothes and gave them to Sixth Brother, "These are antidote pills, they'll come in handy when you go down the mountain."

Sixth Brother accepted the pills and carefully put them away, "After you've gone down the mountain and met up with Fifth Brother, hurry back to Xi Ling Village with the fastest speed. We'll see each other back home, brothers."

"Alright." Mo Jiuye responded and gave Sixth Brother some other reminders before leaving the mountain with Eldest Brother, Second Brother and Father.

Fortunately he had taken all of the night pearls from the tomb, and left some behind for Third Brother and the others to light up the cave. They also became the most important lighting tools for their descent down the mountain.

With the experience from their climb up, the brothers didn't have much difficulty taking Father down the mountain.

Even so, by the time they met up with Fifth Brother, the sky was already brightening.
