Chapter 47 Dark Clouds Overcome the City

In the warm hut, there was a strong smell of medicine. After careful smelling it, there was a rotten stench inside.

This was Li Xu's ward. Gu Zhenhua sat in front of the bed. On the bed was a man in his thirties. His skeleton was huge and his eyebrows were similar to Li Jibo. However, due to long-term illness, his cheeks and temples were concave, his lips were purple, his face was turmeric, and even his mind was unclear, and he kept making vague sounds.

Gu Zhenhua checked carefully, but Li Jibo frowned.

"Sir Gu, why don't you even take your pulse?"

"No!" Gu Zhenhua agreed very simply.

When Li Jibo heard this, he rushed up in anger and grabbed Gu Zhenhua's shoulder: "Sir Gu, do you want to mess with me?"

"Old Li, we have made a bet. Let's leave Mr. Ling's injury to me."

"Are you sure?"

"No!"

"You!" Li Jibo was completely tortured and had no temper, so he could only stare at Gu Zhenhua angrily.

Gu Zhenhua smiled very relaxedly, "Old Li, the wound has become severely purulent, and Mr. Li also has a high fever. To tell you the truth, it is toxins that have invaded the blood. No one is sure of the disease. In short, it is a dead horse to treat it as a living horse!"

"Gu Zhenhua, I will tell you, don't think that you are loyal and brave, in my eyes, nothing is wrong. If you dare to joke about my son's life, I will definitely take someone to hang myself before hanging it!"

"Old Li, you are really unreasonable. You took the initiative to find me and agreed to the bet with me. Now you threaten me with the other side. Isn't it too unkind?"

Li Jibo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have seen countless people in my life, but I can't see through you guys. If I don't force you to a dead end, I'm afraid you won't work hard!"

"If you scare me to death, you will have no way to do your best."

Facing an old fox, Gu Zhenhua could only admit his bad luck and said angrily: "Old Li, go and prepare things, boiled water, gauze, clean needles and thread, and take a little green salt. Remember that it is best to steam everything in the pot. You are not allowed to grab it directly with your hands when you take it. Once it is contaminated, you will have life worries. You will never joke about your son's life."

At this time, Li Jibo could only place his hope on Gu Zhenhua and hurriedly prepared.

Gu Zhenhua took out the only plate of antibiotics or five painkillers from his clothes. These drugs were Gu Zhenhua's most precious treasures. He only gave Sun Cheng one. Later, his brothers were injured and gave everyone a few more painkillers. The rest were all here.

Li Jibo's son's injuries were very clear. He was shot by a bow and arrow, and the wound had not completely healed. It was prolonged for too long. In addition, the temperature rose in March and April, bacteria were proliferating vigorously, and they had been seriously infected. Toxins even invaded the blood. To be honest, life has been happening in these few days.

With the current medical conditions, no matter how skilled the doctor is, he will be helpless, and Gu Zhenhua’s biggest reliance is the penicillin in his hands!

Although he didn't have a long contact, Gu Zhenhua also knew that Li Jibo, an old guy, had a precise vision and was familiar with all the situations in Shanhaiguan. The most difficult thing was that he was still thinking about the Ming Dynasty. If such a person helped him, not only would his personal safety be guaranteed, but he might also cause some trouble for Wu Sangui, and even gain some Guanning elite soldiers and money and food.

Of course, these beautiful visions must have a prerequisite, which is to cure Li Xu on the bed!

At this time, Li Jibo had already prepared everything. Gu Zhenhua took out the dagger and washed it repeatedly with salt water, and waited until everything was ready.

Only then did Gu Zhenhua slowly remove the bandage on Li Xu's shoulders. He saw a piece of fist-sized piece with the shoulder socket as the center, red, swollen and tall, pus flowed continuously, and a pungent stench made Gu Zhenhua frown.

"Mr. Li, the wound is difficult to heal. It is mostly because there are dirty things inside. I want to cut the wound and take out the things inside. You'd better arrange a few strong men and hold the man tightly and never move around."

Li Jibo also nodded solemnly, and four soldiers ran in and pressed their limbs. Li Jibo hugged his son's head tightly and bit a piece of wooden stick in his mouth.

"Sir Gu, just do it. No matter whether you live or die, I will be grateful to you!"

Gu Zhenhua nodded slightly, wiped the pus repeatedly with gauze, and waited until he could see the flesh clearly. Gu Zhenhua poked the dagger in without hesitation, and the wound was cut open.

"ah!"

A scream of pain came out, and his body couldn't help but twist. Several soldiers immediately exerted force and held it firmly.

"Son! Hold on, don't be afraid of fighting with the Tartars. Are you still afraid of this pain?" Li Jibo said with heartache, and the tears in his eyes flowed down.

Poor parents in the world, Gu Zhenhua also sighed secretly. The wound was delayed for two or three months, and the surroundings were full of rotten meat. Gu Zhenhua cleaned it for a quarter of an hour and finally revealed the center. The flesh here turned black and dark red blood kept oozing out.

Although Gu Zhenhua is familiar with first aid, this kind of operation is the first time, so he can't be too busy. He put the dagger aside and hurriedly took the tweezers. After going deep into the wound, he fiddled with it a few times. Sure enough, there was a clear difference in the touch.

"It's here!"

The tweezers tightly clamped it, and Gu Zhenhua suddenly used force, but it didn't move at all. Li Xu kept twisting and struggling, and his body twitched, as if he couldn't hold it down.

"Sir Gu, what should I do?" Li Jibo asked anxiously.

"What else can I do? The arrow is inside. If you don't take it out, your life will be gone!"

At this time, Gu Zhenhua also made up his mind. He grabbed the dagger and continued to cut the wound, then handed the tip of the knife into the center of the wound.

"Hold it down!"

Gu Zhenhua shouted, and several people used all their strength to feed themselves. At this time, Gu Zhenhua held the dagger in one hand and the larger iron pliers in the other, and clamped the arrow. Then he suddenly exerted force on his hand.

With Li Xu's beastly screams, a piece of black arrow finally pulled out. In an instant, Li Jibo's eyes burst into tears and he almost fainted. At this time, Guo Yunlong also rushed over and hurriedly helped Li Jibo hold Li Xu down.

Gu Zhenhua knew that when the arrow was taken out, most of the problem was solved. He hurriedly cleaned Li Xu's wound and cleaned the rotten meat bit by bit. In the end, he sewed the wound with needle and thread and bandaged it with medicine.

After more than three hours of busyness, this simple operation was completely completed. Li Xu had already fainted from pain and Gu Zhenhua was also wet.

"Sir Gu, what exactly is the child?"

"The wound has been treated. I have some medicine, two tablets at a time, twice a day."

"Can you eat it well?"

"I don't know, I can do so much anyway. As for whether to die or live, it depends on God's will."

Faced with Gu Zhenhua's death, Li Jibo gritted his teeth: "Can't you give me a comfort and reassure me?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't learned to lie."

Li Jibo's eyes rolled and suddenly smiled: "I'm dizzy, so I'm going to rest first. If you have any questions, I'll say it when the child wakes up."

The old man escaped without waiting for Gu Zhenhua to speak, and did not give Gu Zhenhua time to discuss cooperation. Gu Zhenhua was so angry that he was itchy, but there was no way to use this old fox, so he could only wait for news.

In the blink of an eye, it was another two days. During these two days, the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion finally reached the capital. Li Zicheng was furious and immediately issued an order to attack Wu Sangui. In an instant, the capital and Shanhaiguan were shrouded in a thick cloud.

In the early morning, Gu Zhenhua had just walked out of the military camp and saw hundreds of iron cavalry galloping past. Behind the war horses, there were more than a dozen people, and their bodies were rubbing with blood. Wherever they passed, there was a red blood path. Some people could still howl dyingly, while others could just lose their lives.

"Polu, what crime did these people commit?"

Yue Polu hurriedly said, "Sir, I heard that some gentry colluded with Li Zicheng and wanted to oppose the general. These people were probably the secret envoys they sent."

Gu Zhenhua was also stunned. He thought that Wu Sangui had been operating in Shanhaiguan for many years, and these gentry had been following him wholeheartedly. Unexpectedly, the situation was not the case. Wu Sangui was also worried about internal and external troubles!

Thinking of this, a brilliance appeared in Gu Zhenhua's eyes. The more this happened, the more Wu Sangui would have to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!

Gu Zhenhua guessed that it was right at all. Wu Sangui had just sent off the deputy general Chen Kun and asked him to take a secret letter to the Qing Dynasty for help. Just as he was about to return home, he suddenly ran over in a blue carriage.

Wu Sangui hurriedly went up to meet him: "Is he your mentor? Sangui is thinking about you!"

The curtain of the car was lifted up, and Li Jibo leaned out of it and said with a smile: "Brother Chang, don't be so polite, I'm also very quiet and want to move."

"Mr. Sangui is worried about internal and external troubles, please give me some advice!"

As Wu Sangui said, he pulled Li Jibo to the main hall of the General Administration. As soon as they sat down, Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "Mr. Shanhaiguan is short of food and salary, and people are full of people. I am exhausted."

"Changbo, everything has a solution, don't get lost first."

Just as Li Jibo was about to give guidance to Wu Sangui, his subordinates suddenly brought an old eunuch in. After he came in, he knelt on the ground.

"Ping Xibo, our family wants to report Gu Zhenhua. This guy is deceiving the emperor and is worthy of death!"
