Chapter 63: Consultation Fee

“You want me to help the Lu family without even getting paid with meals?” The girl’s voice was low.

Lu Chengzhou’s thin lips turned up slightly. “How can I starve a growing kid?”

Gu Mang looked at him and said seriously, “It’s true that I’m still growing, but I’m not a kid.”

Lu Chengzhou couldn’t help but laugh whenever he saw she was serious.

He got up from the bed and stood straight-legged as he looked at her, a smile still lingering in his eyes. “Let’s go, I’ll take you out to dinner.”

Gu Mang nodded.

He could tell that she was really hungry.

...

Considering that it had been a while since Gu Mang last ate, the kitchen made nourishing sweet congee and some desserts.

Just after they were done eating, someone came from the courtyard and reported that the old grandmother had woken up.

The two then went along with the messenger to see the old grandmother.

The old grandmother was still not very sober, her old eyes trembling.

Yu Zhongjing leaned over and whispered into Gu Mang’s ear, “Look at you, you just had to go looking for trouble. Even if the old grandmother wakes up, she’s not going to have many more years left in her and she still needs to rely on taking medicine all the time.”

Gu Mang gave him a mild glance. Yu Zhongjing shut his mouth immediately as he examined the old grandmother with a straight face. Damn. He was really getting worse with age. He had just lectured Lu Xiwei about the rules of his tutorship and here he was making the same dumb mistake.

Gu Mang began to take the old grandmother’s pulse. After some time, she took out a silver needle and disinfected it.

Stick into the neiguan and twist it. Continue the slanted bird pecking technique on the renzhong. Angled at forty-five degrees, twitch the sanyinjiao three times.

With support on the jiquan, chizhi, and weizhong.

Her skillful and efficient technique was a work of art.

Yu Zhongjing was wide-eyed as he watched her work.

Every time he watched Gu Mang do acupuncture he wished he could record and worship it!

He didn’t have any experience in acupuncture and it would be too late for him to start learning, so all he could do was to watch.

Unfortunately, not many people studied traditional Chinese medicine nowadays.

Lu Chengzhou stood to one side with a hand in his pocket, his eyes never shifting away from the girl’s furrowed brows and her mouth.

An hour later, Gu Mang put away all the silver needles.

She said insipidly, “She’ll be completely awake in the evening. Be careful not to agitate her and make sure she keeps to the diet.”

Lu Chengzhou looked at the old woman on the sick bed. “Gu Mang, tell me honestly. How much longer can she live?”

The girl glanced at him and threw the bag on her back. “If her health is well taken care of, she can have three to five more years. But she could still go anytime.”

She was no god. She was only a doctor who snatched people from the hands of the reaper. She wouldn’t be able to save the old grandmother every time.

Lu Chengzhou looked grave. After a long while, he said, “How do we take good care of her?”

Gu Mang took out a small piece of paper from her bag and wrote a prescription. “For now, take the medicine. I’ll prepare some Chinese medicine for emergency use when I have time.”

Having written the prescription, she handed it to him casually with her clean and white fingertips.

Lu Chengzhou received it. Under the paper, their fingertips rubbed softly against each other. One was warm and the other was hot.

Gu Mang paused for a moment and looked up.

As they stared at each other for a few seconds, she put on a smile, her delicate eyebrows wicked and feral. “Young Master Lu, the consultation fee for this is the Sleeping Jade.”

The Sleeping Jade wasn’t very useful to the old grandmother and it was a waste for Lu Chengzhou to hold onto it.

The man looked at her and chuckled softly. “Lu Yī, go get it.”
