“Sure.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

Magistrate Chen immediately stood up. “You guys continue chatting. I still have some matters to attend to at the government office.”

“Alright, let’s talk more when we have time.” Gu Chengrui stood up and sent him out.

After he came back, he drank tea with Lou Yifei and chatted for a while. After he finished the pot of tea, Gu Chengrui took him upstairs.

Gu Chengrui first asked about Lou Yifei’s master. Only then did he know that although the Lou family was not very famous, it was still a family with a hundred years of inheritance.

“So the Lou Family has many disciples in Qianzhou Province?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“No, because the family precepts are passed down to men and not to women or outsiders, so only I’m left in the family to study medicine.”

“That’s a pity. By the way, I heard that you hold a Juren rank from the scholar exams?”

“Yes, in my early years, I always wanted to be an official like Uncle, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the brain. I took the exam three times before I got my Juren rank, and I was still third from the bottom.

“In addition, my father is already old, so I took over the family’s clinic.”

“If you enter the medical center, won’t there be no one to take care of your family’s business?”

“No, I still have a younger brother. Although he’s not interested in medicine, he’s quite good at doing business.”

Gu Chengrui nodded in understanding and asked, “By the way, what’s the situation of the medical case you mentioned? Tell me in detail, and I hope I know about it.”

Lou Yifei nodded. He took out a book and handed it to him with both hands.

“This is all the patient’s records.”

Gu Chengrui took it and looked at it seriously. The records were really quite detailed.

As for the illness described above, it seemed to be lung cancer.

“How did you treat the patient?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Father said that this is a lung disease. I used many prescriptions to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, replenish qi and remove blood clots, eliminate phlegm, and strengthen the spleen, but the effects were not very good.

“Ultimately, he became so scrawny that only a handful of bones are left.”

Gu Chengrui nodded. “This illness is split into benign and malignant.”

“If benign, the patient could still live if we operated on the patient and removed the root cause.

“If it’s malignant, there’s still hope if it’s found in time. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time before inevitable death.”

“Operation?” Lou Yifei looked at him in horror. “Would that person still be able to live if he had a knife in his chest?”

Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded. “Exactly, a surgical operation. This also involves a suturing technique.”

After that, he explained it to him in detail.

Lou Yifei’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Can you save this patient?”

“Who is the patient?”

“He’s my father. He’s already…” Lou Yifei’s eyes teared up.

Gu Chengrui nodded and said, “I can go over and take a look, but his condition… I’m not confident either.”

“Understood. If there’s really no other way, we’ll just accept our fate.”

“Is it far? If he’s not far away, we can go there now.”

“It’s just one street away.” Lou Yifei replied.

After that, Gu Chengrui brought Lin Yifan to the Lou Family. When he saw the Lou Family’s head, Gu Chengrui knew that there was no hope for him.

Sure enough, when he checked his pulse, he found that the Lou Family Head was a lamp that had run out of oil.

He asked Lou Yifei for silver needles to soothe his lungs, but it was obviously ineffective.

“Marquis An Le, your acupuncture skills are so good. It’s a pity that I won’t have the chance to ask you for advice,” said Mr. Lou with a smile..
