Chapter 108.1: Due to Being Pressed Down? (1/2)

Doctor Yu dealt with the injuries much faster than Tang Doudou had. He first used scissors to cut apart the clothes on Baili Yu’s back, then quickly dismantled the bandages to reveal the terrible injuries beneath.

There were so many severe injuries that it was shocking. Even Doctor Yu, despite his many years of experience, couldn’t help but be stunned by this scene. He stared in a daze, unsure of where to start.

Tang Doudou had to remind him, “Doctor Yu!”

“Ahem. Yes, right away. It’ll be finished right away…” Doctor Yu returned to his senses and started dealing with the wounds carefully. The injuries were so complicated that even Doctor Yu, with his ample experience, had to work slowly. It took him quite a long while to deal with just one wound.

Tang Doudou couldn’t bulge under Baili Yu’s weight at all and her limbs were starting to become numb. However, though she felt impatient with how slowly Doctor Yu was moving, she knew she shouldn’t hurry him. Thus, she decided to shift her attention onto Baili Yu’s face. She reached out and touched him. His skin was still very cold.

She remembered that the last time he had fallen ill, when they had escaped from the Prime Minister’s residence, he had shown the same symptoms.

His body had been very very cold, as if he was about to die.

Not only had he failed to find Cang Baicao at Azure Water Valley this time, he even ran into the God Firmament Hall’s attack and got severely injured.

It was really terrible luck.

If Cang Baicao hadn’t gone to perform acupuncture on her, would the situation now be different?

Forget it, thinking about that is useless. It’s not like she could have controlled whether Cang Baicao gave her acupuncture or not.

“Haa…”

She gave a long sigh. Then she heard Doctor Yu say, “Lady, you should just come out if it’s unbearable.”

“It’s fine. The gains would not make up for the losses if I end up accidentally aggravating his injuries.” Tang Doudou rubbed her lower chin. “Doctor Yu, what exactly did you see from checking his pulse earlier?”

Doctor Yu was silent for a while before he waved his hand and said, “This old (and respected, implied by honorific) man didn’t find anything, it just seemed strange.”

“Strange?” Tang Doudou was lying in a position that kept her from seeing Doctor Yu’s expression. If she had been able to see his face, she would have known with one glance that Doctor Yu was hiding something.

“This old man has talked about his current condition earlier, but if you would forgive this old man for speaking straightforwardly, there is simply no way these wounds are enough to cause his current strange condition. His condition is probably due to some other factor,” said Doctor Yu slowly as he stroked his beard.

This old fellow did seem to have some skill, to be able to figure this out.

Tang Doudou then asked, “Then Doctor Yu, can you cure him?”

“This old man’s ability is limited ah!”

She knew that this would be the case. After all, there’s no way Baili Yu would have rushed to Azure Water Valley, a place that was so far away, if that hadn’t been the case.

“Will he be alright?”

“That’s hard to say ah!”

“Why is that hard to say?” Tang Doudou looked towards Doctor Yu angrily. “What exactly is going on? Can’t you say things more clearly?”

“Although his current condition isn’t caused by these injuries, these injuries are continuously influencing his current condition. If we don’t figure out what is causing his condition and resolve it, he could die at any moment!”
