Chapter 518 The Chosen Son
"His father, my son is already in this condition. Are you going to let him wait for death by not letting him see a doctor?" Jia roared.
Gu Youtian said coldly: "Then just go and die. When you die, leave a grave for him in the ancestral grave of your family."
After listening to Gu Youtian's words, Gu Ruinian wished he could kill Gu Youtian, making it difficult for him to die.
He had finally escaped from the Zheng family, how could he die?
"Youtian, what are you talking about? Fengnian, go and ask the doctor." Old Man Gu spoke.
Gu Fengnian went out to ask for a doctor.
Old Master Gu sighed, sat at the head of Gu Ruinian's bed, and said, "Ruinian, I know you can hear me. Open your eyes and tell me where it hurts. Were you fed with poison? It's over now. Since you're back and you're still a descendant of the Gu family, we won't blame you."
Old Lady Gu then said, "It's all because of Xu Zaohua's shamelessness. She was the one who seduced you. It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Ruinian clenched his hands, wondering why everyone said that he and Xu Zaohua were having an affair.
Obviously not.
The people who framed him were Miss Lian Er, Gu Taohua, and Tong Huaqiong...
He wants to stay alive, only by staying alive can he take revenge.
Gu Ruinian slowly opened his eyes and said with sweat on his forehead, "It's the right leg."
Jia immediately examined her right leg carefully. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu also looked at it together, but they couldn't figure out what was going on after a long time.
There is not even a scar on the right leg.
Gu Ruinian endured the pain and said, "My right leg has been torn, and you can't see it from outside."
After saying that, he continued to close his eyes.
He hates!
The second son of the Zheng family saved him, but also crippled his leg.
When Jia heard that her son's right leg was severed, she looked left and right.
Old Mrs. Gu asked, "Can we still walk?"
Gu Ruinian said nothing.
Master Zheng II told him that his right leg was completely disabled.
He had no choice at the time.
Even if my legs are broken, as long as I have the mountains still alive I will never run out of firewood.
As long as he has this life, he can turn things around.
Now, thinking carefully about whether it is worth exchanging a leg for a life, Gu Ruinian felt confused.
Mr. Gu said slowly: "Let's go see a doctor. We'll treat him well and he will definitely be able to get well."
Mr. Gu is already numb. Compared with cutting off his offspring, crippling his legs is not so bad.
At this time, the doctor came in. Mr. Gu asked him to come forward and take a closer look at Gu Ruinian's legs, and he frowned.
This tendon-picking technique is really exquisite. I guess only a coroner or a martial arts master can do this.
He looked at Gu Ruinian's young face and shook his head, fearing that his leg would be crippled.
However, the doctor did not sympathize with Gu Ruinian at all.
When he was invited to Wu Ji and saw Gu Ruinian, he realized that the person he was going to treat was the male protagonist who had been on the hot search list in Pingchuan in recent days. There were so many things for such a young man to do, but he chose to hook up with a widow.
Compared to the punishment of Widow Xu who was sent to the family temple to face the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, the Zheng family was merciful in sparing Gu Ruinian's life even though his tendons were cut.
When Mr. Gu saw the doctor shaking his head, he secretly thought that something was not good.
Holding on to a glimmer of hope, he asked, "Doctor, can my grandson's leg be cured?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "I can't cure it."
The doctor's words made the room seem gloomy.
Mr. Gu asked bitterly, "Is there any other doctor who can cure it? Do you know a doctor who can cure it?"
The doctor said: "At least there is no doctor in Ningcheng who can cure it. The imperial physician in Shengjing may have a way to cure it."
Mr. Gu closed his eyes.
Shengjing, imperial physician, can ordinary people have access to such people?
His grandson's legs were completely disabled.
The doctor fixed Gu Ruinian's right ankle, of course not to help the leg recover, but to make Gu Ruinian less painful. After fixing it, he didn't even prescribe any medicine and left with the medicine box and the consultation fee.
Medicines are only prescribed if there is hope for recovery. If there is no hope, it is better to save the money.
Gu Ruinian opened and closed his eyes. He wanted to tell his family that it was okay. Even though his legs were broken, he still had his hands, his brain, and his life. He would eventually be able to recover.
Seeing Gu Ruinian's painful expression, Mr. Gu couldn't bear to blame him. He sighed and said, "Since there is a miracle doctor in Shengjing, this leg can be cured. I can make money and save money in the future. At worst, I can go to Shengjing to hire a doctor for Ruinian."
Mr. Gu also knew that this was purely self-consolation, and the more he spoke, the more guilty he felt.
"It's just a broken tendon. It won't affect his walking. Besides, Ruinian is not at home farming, so it's not a big problem to have a disabled leg. He can continue his studies and take the imperial examination in the future." Mr. Gu comforted Gu Ruinian in this way, considering that it would be difficult for him to do physical work with a disabled leg.
Jia let out a cry.
She didn't say a word from the time the doctor came in until he left. Jia was so shocked that she almost became speechless.
Inspired by Mr. Gu's words about studying for the imperial examination, he suddenly felt as if he was stung, and a sound came out of his throat due to a burst of anger.
"What should Ruinian do? Her life is completely ruined."
"Ohh Ohh ohh......"
Old Madam Gu couldn't bear to hear Jia's depressing words, and scolded: "Why is Ruinian's life ruined? People outside are talking about him because of that bitch Xu Zaohua. Our Ruinian is a playboy. Have you ever seen a man who attracts bees and butterflies and has his reputation ruined? When Ruinian recovers, your father and I will take him back to Qinghewan. He will study with Master Su in the village private school. He will pass the imperial examination next year and become a juren in a few years. Who will remember what happened today?"
After crying for a while, Mrs. Gu accepted the possibility that Ruinian's leg was broken.
"Ruinian, you have to do your best. The doctor said that the imperial physician in Shengjing has a way to cure your leg. When you go to Shengjing to take the imperial examination and enter the throne, you will be able to call all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital to your attention."
Old Mrs. Gu tucked the corner of the quilt for Gu Ruinian, her eyes sparkling.
Gu Ruinian nodded secretly, he thought so too.
Jia cried loudly and softly, and took advantage of the opportunity when Mrs. Gu finished her words and no one else spoke to say, "Can you still take the imperial examination with a broken leg? Even if you can take the imperial examination, I heard that the court selects officials with intact bodies. People with physical illnesses will not be appointed even if they pass the palace examination."
Jia's words made Mr. Gu's face change drastically.
He had forgotten all about it.
Jia mentioned Gu Ruinian's cousin and said, "We have a ready-made one in our clan. Gu Daqiao was very talented in studying before, but after he became lame, the town's private school wouldn't let him study. They said it was useless for him to study, and there was no choice. He couldn't be appointed as an official because he had a lame leg."
"Woooooooo..."
Jia's words were like a bomb thrown into Gu Ruinian's mind, and his whole brain was buzzing.
Why didn't he think of the selection system in this era?
The evil feudal era.
He had an impression of Gu Daqiao, the cripple who was always silent in the tribe.
In the spring, he saw Gu Daqiao working as a hired worker in Dafang's fields. Gu Daqiao was sitting at the edge of the field with one leg spread out, thinking about something.
When he thought that this cousin was also a scholar in the past, he seemed to see his future self in him.
No, he definitely won't turn into Valley Bridge.
He is the chosen one, he can travel through time, he can know the afterlife, he is different from Gu Daqiao.
