Chapter 155 Parasites (2/2)

Sure enough, hearing his words, Gao Fengwen immediately said, ”Medical Sage, since you are here, why don't you go to see Master Su with me? I may count on you if I can't cure his son.”

Gao Fengwen respected and admired Qin Haodong's medical skill from the bottom of his heart. He talked to him in a respectful manner even though Qin Haodong had refused to accept him as his student.

Li Yue was stunned standing beside. She knew Gao Fengwen very well as he was a friend of her family. In her opinion, Gao Fengwen was a top figure among Chinese medicine practitioners in the south of the Yangtze River, just as his husband among all the engravers.

However, such a powerful man addressed a young man so respectfully and even called him Medical Sage. Who was this young man exactly?

As if he could read Li Yue's mind, Gao Fengwen explained to her. ”This is Doctor Qin, Qin Haodong, absolutely a Medical Sage in our city. He is much better than me at medical skill. With him here, your son will be fine soon.”

If someone else told her the young man was a medical sage, she would definitely not believe in the words. However, she deeply trusted Gao Fengwen. Thus, she stepped forward and said to Qin Haodong, ”Doctor Qin, would you go to see my son? Please save him.”

”Sure.” Qin Haodong had a passion for helping the weak, so, he promised her immediately. ”What's wrong with your son?”

Li Yue sighed and answered, ”My son had been healthy and strong since he was a child. However, not long ago, he fell ill after a vacation in Africa with his friends. He has got a high fever.

”We've taken him to the hospitals to see doctors, but no one knew the cause of the disease. We were desperate. My husband thought Chinese medicine might work, so, we took our son home and asked Mr. Gao for help.”

”Show me the way, Mrs. Su. We'll check his situation.”

Following Li Yue, Qin Haodong passed a yard and entered a bedroom.

The room was spacious, and a young man about twenty lay unconscious on the bed, pale and weak.

A middle-aged man about fifty sat the head of the bed, stooping with his face full of worries. He was no other the great engraver in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Haichuan, and the young man lying on the bed was his son, Su Xiaolong.

Seeing Gao Fengwen walking in, Su Haichuan immediately stood up to welcome him, but when he saw Qin Haodong walk ahead of Gao Fengwen, he frowned.

As he thought, Qin Haodong should be Gao Fengwen's apprentice who came with him. It was too impolite to stride ahead of his master.

However, at this moment, he could not bother to think that but grasped Gao Fengwen's hand and said, ”Brother Gao, please take a look at Xiaolong. We only have this son, please save him.”

Gao Fengwen looked back at Qin Haodong awkwardly, but Qin Haodong waved him to go on.

Seeing that, Gao Fengwen went forward to Su Xiaolong's bed and began to take his pulse. He wanted to find out what disease Su Xiaolong had so that if he failed to cure it, he could learn how to treat it from Qin Haodong.

As time went by, Gao Fengwen frowned harder, and this time, he didn't withdraw his hands until five minutes later.

”Brother Gao, how is Xiaolong now? Could you save him?” Su Haichuan asked nervously.

”Some of his organs have been damaged, and his pulse beat strangely. I can't tell what disease he has.”

He paused for a second and continued, ”I've read from an ancient book that bugs can cause one's pulse beat like this, but it didn't say how to treat it. I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do.”

On hearing the words, Su Haichuan collapsed on the chair with his eyes full of desperation and sorrow. Though he was a well-known and rich master, he could not afford to lose his son.

”Don't worry, Brother Su. Though I don't know how to cure Xiaolong's disease, Medical Sage can. He is right here.”

”Medical Sage?” Su Haichuan's eyes lit up a bit, but he did not understand Gao Fengwen's words and looked at him with confusion.

Gao Fengwen looked back and said to Qin Haodong, ”Medical Sage, I can do nothing about this. Could you please help this son?”

The words shocked Su Haichuan, who did not expect that Qin Haodong was not an apprentice but the Medical Sage Gao Fengwen mentioned.

Qin Haodong walked to Su Xiaolong's bed, stretched out to take his pulse, and infused a wisp of Green Wood Genuine Qi into him.

With the Qi working as his eyes, he checked the entire body of Su Xiaolong within more than ten seconds.

Gao Fengwen was right. Su Xiaolong was suffering from a bug disease. At the point, all of Su Xiaolong's internal organs were invaded by tiny white bugs. They laid eggs inside him and reproduced, causing the damage of his organs and putting him in a coma.

The bugs were very strange. They parasitized in his body but did not get into his blood. Besides, they were so tiny as to transillumination check, and blood tests could not find their trace.

Although Su Haichuan was unfamiliar with Qin Haodong, he still asked with great hope, ”Doctor, how is my son now? Can he be cured?”

Qin Haodong replied, ”Have your son eaten anything unclean? His internal organs are totally parasitized by bugs. They are consuming his body and energy. He will lose his life in three days without timely treatment.”
