Chapter 390
Moreover, fortunately, through the recent examination, the toxins and the gu worms in Mo Qing's body were still about 1 cm apart.
According to the spread rate of the toxins, the gu worms and toxins would not converge together for at least a month.
One month would be enough time for He Zhiran to help Mo Qing detoxify, then nourish his body before removing the gu.
Mo Jiuye looked at He Zhiran lost in thought there and asked, “Ranran, how is it?”
He Zhiran gently patted his arm, “The situation is slightly better than expected. I’m going to find medicine to help Father detoxify now.”
The biggest feature of this poison is that the poisoned person cannot have violent exercise, otherwise it would stimulate the spread rate of the toxins.
He Zhiran had just seen Mo Qing’s movements and his curled legs. She could confirm that Mo Qing had been repeating the same actions every day in that tomb, so there shouldn’t have been any violent movements, otherwise his legs would not have become like that.
At present, He Zhiran's plan was that Grandpa Mo was weak and could be nourished slowly, and the gu worms could be surgically removed at any time. The urgent task was to help him detoxify.
Mo Jiuye heard that his wife could detoxify his father and asked happily, “Then what about the gu worms?”
He Zhiran pointed to the location of the gu worms in Mo Qing's body.
"It's close to the heart, and according to the examination, it can be determined that the hiding place of the gu worms is very deep. There will inevitably be heavy bleeding during the surgery to remove the gu.
With Father's current physical condition, massive bleeding would definitely endanger his life."
Mo Jiuye was dumbfounded when he heard He Zhiran say this.
"Can Father's gu worms not be removed?"
"It's not that they can't be removed. First, Father’s body needs to be nourished to a state that can withstand surgery so that it can be done without any risks."
Hearing He Zhiran's explanation, Mo Jiuye finally felt a glimmer of hope.
"Alright, I’ll leave it to Ranran then."
At this moment, anything else he said would seem pretentious, even though his heart ached for his pregnant wife’s hardship, it couldn't be helped. There was no antidote stored in He Zhiran’s medical room space that could detoxify the poison in Mo Qing’s body, so she had to purchase it from Taobao Mall.
She didn’t know if modern times had cancelled the use of this toxin to treat diseases or something else, but there was no such antiserum for sale in Taobao Mall.
He Zhiran thought about it and opened Little Collector’s chat window.
[Hello, I need your help. Please reply as soon as you see this.]
Since asking Little Collector for help several times, the two had often exchanged messages.
Little Collector had also specially set He Zhiran’s messages to give special reminders.
Therefore, as soon as He Zhiran sent the message, she received a reply from the other party.
[I'm here, what do you need help with?]
He Zhiran: [I need an antiserum that is only available at the H City Biological Products Sales.]
Little Collector: [I happen to be on a business trip in H City. Send me the address and I'll go buy it for you now.]
He Zhiran quickly sent Little Collector the detailed address and full name of the antiserum.
[Please, I’m urgently waiting to save someone here.]
Little Collector: [Okay, I'll go buy it for you right away.]
He Zhiran didn’t know how long it would take Little Collector to go out and help buy the antiserum, her phone couldn't receive any messages when she left the space, so she had to wait here.
After all, they had entered the space from inside the carriage. If the brothers became anxious after waiting for a long time and opened the carriage to find no one inside, it would be impossible to explain clearly no matter what.
Therefore, He Zhiran decided to leave the space with Mo Jiuye and his father for the time being and wait in the carriage.
During this time, she would occasionally use her consciousness to enter the space to check if there were any incoming messages from Little Collector.
Not long after they left the space, someone knocked on the carriage door from outside.
"Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-Law, how is Father's condition?" It was Eldest Brother's voice.
Although Mo Jiuye had explained very clearly not to let his brothers disturb Ninth Brother and Sister-in-Law while helping Father get treated, such torment was really unbearable.
Especially since they had been inside the carriage for so long without any sound coming out at all, the brothers were even more anxious like ants on a hot pan.
Mo Jiuye reluctantly opened the carriage door slightly to see his brothers all craning their necks towards the carriage.
"Eldest Brother, Ranran has just finished examining Father and discovered he has been poisoned by a chronic toxin. The situation is not very good.
Ranran is now trying to formulate the antidote. Don't worry for now." Hearing that Father had been poisoned by a chronic toxin was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Mo brothers.
Father's condition was already worrying enough, and now he was poisoned...
"Sister-in-Law, can Father's poison be cured?"
At this moment, Second Brother couldn't care less about Ninth Brother's urging that Ninth Sister-in-Law was formulating the antidote. He just wanted to know if Father could still survive.
He Zhiran could understand the feelings of the elder brothers. No one could remain calm if their loved one was in mortal danger, otherwise they might as well be an unfeeling machine.
"I'm trying to formulate the antidote now. If it's successfully formulated, I should be able to cure Father's body."
He Zhiran didn't dare make her words too definite. After all, there was no such antiserum for sale in Taobao Mall. If Little Collector couldn't buy it either, wouldn't she have falsely raised everyone's hopes?
Although the brothers didn't understand medicine, they could still see from Father's feeble state that his condition was indeed not optimistic.
Although Sister-in-Law didn't say for certain that she could cure Father, they all understood clearly that she was also doing her best to find a way.
Eldest Brother took the lead and bowed deeply to He Zhiran.
"Then we'll have to trouble Sister-in-Law."
Seeing this, the other brothers followed Eldest Brother's example and sincerely bowed to He Zhiran.
"Thanks to Sister-in-Law..."
At the same time, the Mo brothers all had the same guilt as Mo Jiuye.
Their Sister-in-Law was heavily pregnant, and she was carrying the hope of the Mo Family. Not only that, she looked like she would give birth soon.
Yet she had travelled so far to help even in such an awkward state. Ninth Brother was truly blessed to have married such a righteous wife. It was simply a blessing to the entire Mo Family.
Being thanked by so many heroic elder brothers, He Zhiran was also somewhat embarrassed.
She gestured with her hand.
"We are all one family. Saving Father's life is what I should do. Elders need not be so polite."
"Also, if I get disturbed while formulating the antidote, all my previous efforts would be wasted. So I'll have to trouble the elders to guard this place well."
He Zhiran might need to enter the space again soon, so she had to clarify the stakes in advance. Otherwise, if the anxious elder brothers came knocking again, things would get problematic.
Although she didn't say it outright, saying not to let anyone disturb her was something anyone could understand.
"Sister-in-Law can rest assured. With us brothers here, not to mention people disturbing you, we guarantee that not even a fly will get through." Eighth Brother thumped his chest and promised.
At this moment, Eighth Brother still felt somewhat guilty. When he saw Ninth Brother earlier, he realized that he had been fooled by his Sister-in-Law to come to the Western Regions.
