n52 Chapter 52 House Call

nAlthough Zhou Ying didn’t feel the slightest relief, she didn’t dare to move again. Otherwise, neither of them would be able to get up tomorrow.

nSure enough, Gu Chengrui fell asleep soon after she quieted down.

nHowever, Zhou Ying couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned for half the night and changed her sanitary napkin twice. She didn’t fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

nWhen she woke up the next day, the sun had already risen. She could hear running water outside and knew he was tending to the bean sprouts.

nThen, she quickly went into her interspace to wash up, came out, put on her clothes, and went to the kitchen. She took water from her interspace and washed the bean sprouts with him.

nAfter they were done, Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked, “You didn’t sleep well last night, right? Your eye bags are heavy.”

n“Yeah, I never thought that menstruating could be so torturous.”

n“I can only say that you were lucky in your past life. So, you must be more careful from now on, understand?”

n“I understand.” Zhou Ying was persuaded this time.

n“I’ve made red date millet porridge. You can take out some bok choy and stir-fry them, and it’ll go well with the steamed buns.”

n“Understood.” Zhou Ying took out the things he had mentioned, then sat aside and started a fire.

nAfter the meal, Gu Chengrui borrowed a small cart and was about to go to town to deliver the bean sprouts when a woman suddenly ran in, causing Er Zhuang to bark loudly. The woman immediately retreated in fear.

nZhou Ying quickly stepped forward to stop him and asked the woman, “Hi, is there something you need?”

n“My, my husband went hunting in the mountains and was bumped by a wild boar. I’m here to ask Doctor Gu for help.” The woman patted her chest in fear.

n“How are his injuries?” Gu Chengrui asked.

n“I’m not sure, but there’s a cut on his stomach, and his intestines seemed to be flowing out.”

nGu Chengrui replied, after a moment of hesitation, “That’s very serious. I’m only 30% confident in treating him, so why don’t you go to the town and get a doctor.”

nSuch a severe injury could only be sutured. More importantly, it might still not be enough to save the patient.

nHowever, no suturing technique was learned in the original Gu Chengrui’s memory, so even if he wanted to make a move, he had to get their guarantee. Otherwise, if something really happened, he would be unable to bear the responsibility.

nThe woman’s eyes brightened. “No, no, my husband was dragged back from the town. Let alone 30%, even a 10% chance is fine.”

n“I’ll say the worst case is that I can’t guarantee anything.”

n“I know. Do treat him as long as there’s a chance.”

n“Okay, wait a moment. I’ll go pack my medicine box.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Ying, and they walked into the house together.

nWhen the woman saw this, she immediately retreated to the door and began to walk around uneasily.

nAfter Zhou Ying entered the house, she immediately took out the first aid box from their previous life and handed it to him.

nWhen Gu Chengrui saw this, he only took out a suture needle, strings made from animal guts, a silver needle, a bottle of iodophor, and cotton. He did not take out anything else.

nThen, he looked at Zhou Ying.”You look for Brother Tian later and ask him to send the bean sprouts over. You don’t have to go.”

n“I know.” Zhou Ying nodded.

nAfter he left, she put away the first aid kit. However, she did not intend to trouble Tian Jiawang. Instead, she locked the door and pulled the cart to town.

nHowever, she regretted it halfway through. At first, she didn’t think much of it, but the long distance was sure to be tiring physical work. This also gave her the idea of buying an animal to pull their cart.

nManager Liu, waiting at the town’s entrance, was stunned when he saw her from afar. He immediately went up to her and asked, “Mrs. Gu, why are you the one here to deliver the goods today?”

n“My husband had an emergency, so I had to come. I hope I didn’t delay your business?” Zhou Ying raised her head and asked with a dry smile.
