Feng Lin gave Gu Jiao a meaningful glance, hoping that she could persuade Brother Xiao to back down, but Gu Jiao just ignored him, angering Feng Lin half to death.

Before the surgery, the old physician handed over a strange document. Xiao Liulang paused slightly.

"What is this?" He asked.

The old physician coughed softly and said, "The consent form for the surgery. It needs to be signed by family members."

...Very novel.

He had been a physician for decades and had never spoken of such a thing before!

However, since it was strongly requested by Gu girl, they had no choice but to do this.

Feng Lin couldn’t sign it, and Xiao Liulang himself couldn’t either. Dr. Gu on one side finally experienced for herself the so-called family reliance, but then, she sadly discovered that she couldn’t write her own name!

How tragic was this ah!??

How could she have not thought about this at all when she asked Second Owner to draw up the consent form for the surgery?

If she used her doctor’s signature in her previous life to sign this form, would it be regarded as an indecipherable handwriting?

This kind of sudden quiet atmosphere was what she most feared.

Gu Jiao grabbed the shaft of the writing brush and scratched her head. She was so anxious that her face turned red.

She wanted to be authoritative in front of Xiao Liulang, but she completely fired at herself instead.

Xiao Liulang took a glance at Gu Jiao. To grab the writing brush so smoothly, one would think she could write.

In the end, it was still Xiao Liulang who signed Gu Jiao’s name on her behalf.

Xiao Liulang was taken to a special room. Tricks such as the use of nerve-calming decoction were easy to be exposed. Hence, this time, the old physician directly handed him a bowl of Mafeisan.

Mafeisan was an ancient anesthetic formulation, which was said to have been created by a divine physician named Hua Tuo. However, the real prescription of Mafeisan had been lost a long time ago. Nowadays, most of the Mafeisan used by physicians was either medicine powder or medicine juice made of mandragora.

This kind of medicine could make people anesthetized and sedate at the same time, cause muscle relaxation and inhibit sweat gland secretion. Therefore, it was also called a knockout drug.

Knockout drug’s toxicity wasn’t small, so Gu Jiao certainly wouldn’t use it on Xiao Liulang. What was in that bowl was actually the self-made tranquilizer of the Rejuvenation Hall.

Xiao Liulang soon fell asleep after drinking it.

Gu Jiao found an excuse to leave Feng Lin. This time would take longer than the last time, so she didn’t use the excuse of going to the latrine again and instead said she would stroll the street to see what New Year merchandise could be bought.

Feng Lin was so infuriated by her that he could feel his liver ache. Nevermind that she didn’t stop Brother Xiao. At this moment, Brother Xiao was going to be cut by someone, and yet she was great! She still had the leisure and carefree mood to look at the New Year merchandise!

As expected, she was truly a heartless woman!

Gu Jiao went back to the Rejuvenation Hall through the back door. The old physician was waiting at the door of the room.

This old physician of the Rejuvenation Hall was an old man who had been working here for no less than thirty years. Although his medical skills were not comparable to that of Physician Zhang of the capital, his moral integrity could definitely be said to be the industry standard. Otherwise, Second Owner wouldn’t trust him to participate in this matter.

The old physician was so curious about this surgery that he somewhat wanted to follow Gu Jiao inside.

But Gu Jiao seemed to have failed to get his intention and closed the door as soon as she entered the room.

The old physician: "..."

Gu Jiao thought it hadn’t been easy for the old physician too, so she turned back and gave him some prescriptions to express her thanks. As for the secret of the medicine chest, she did not intend to let others know about it for the time being.

After entering the room again, Gu Jiao opened the medicine chest and gave Xiao Liulang an injection of local anesthesia first.

……

An hour later, Gu Jiao came out carrying her back basket.

The old physician and Second Owner both rushed forward and asked in unison, "How was the surgery?"

Gu Jiao nodded and said, "The surgery was very successful."

Nothing had gone wrong with her operation, only, the specific recovery condition varied from person to person. Furthermore, his ankle had been injured for too long after all. Even if the surgery was successful, he still needed to do a long period of rehabilitation, both on his leg and foot.

But now that the surgery was successful, he at least wouldn’t have to suffer any more pain.

Thinking of how he always suffered from pain many days and nights, and yet would still always go to fetch water, burn firewood... and do everything that was within his capability, Gu Jiao felt unpleasant in her heart.

Had she known he was in so much pain, she would have ignored his self-esteem and wouldn't let him do any work at all.

Xiao Liulang woke up with the old physician by his side.

The old physician told him about his condition and that the surgery was very successful. He was told to return home for recuperation and come back ten days later, "...Remember, these ten days, you must not be subjected to force, stay in bed more, don't eat spicy things, and avoid drinking..."

"En?" Xiao Liulang suddenly let out a puzzled sound and looked at the old physician in a trance.

The old physician thought he didn't understand. He smiled and said, "I’m telling you to abstain from wine, don't drink, understand? At a young age, even if you are not ill, you should also avoid drinking."

Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes and said, "En."

After the old physician’s advice, he asked a staff member to go to the lobby and call Feng Lin and Gu Jiao over.

The first thing Feng Lin said when he rushed into the room was, "Brother Xiao, are you still alive?"

Gu Jiao, who was behind him, rolled her eyes!

Feng Lin came to the bedside and wanted to see Xiao Liulang's injury. However, he had already been bandaged, and he could only see a wrap of gauze on his foot.

"Does it hurt?" Feng Lin asked.

The effect of the anesthetic had passed, and now it hurt a little bit, but after all this time, he had gotten used to the pain, so he shook his head and said, "It doesn’t hurt."

While he was still asleep, the old physician went to the lobby to tell Feng Lin about his condition. Feng Lin knew that the surgery went well, so he was not particularly worried anymore.contemporary romance

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned his head and glared at Gu Jiao ferociously, "You weren't here just now. You didn't hear what Physician Zhang said. I'll tell you again! Remember it well for me!"

He repeated what the old physician's said to him to Gu Jiao word for word.

Gu Jiao listened very carefully.

The old physician on one side secretly wiped a cold sweat. Boy, you don't even know who gave these precautions...

It was getting late when they got out of the medical hall. Second Uncle Luo lent Feng Lin a hand in helping Xiao Liulang onto the oxcart. After that, Second Uncle Luo first sent Feng Lin back to the academy, and then took Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang back to the village.

Halfway through, Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang's stomachs growled at the same time.

The two of them went out after breakfast, and then were busy for most of the day, completely forgetting all about lunch.

The sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to snow.

Gu Jiao thought about it and said to Xiao Liulang, "It's going to snow, it’s best not to eat outside. I'll buy some scallion pancakes to fill our stomach."

There happened to be a vendor of scallion pancakes nearby. Xiao Liulang nodded and said, "All right."

The place selling scallion pancakes was just around the corner where they were passing by. Gu Jiao jumped off the oxcart lightly and strode towards her destination. Maybe she was walking too fast, she bumped into someone.

Not to lie, this time she didn’t deliberately bump into others, it was others deliberately bumping into her.

In her previous life, Gu Jiao wasn’t just a simple doctor. The other party actually wanted to cheat her with such meager skills? The person who could take advantage of her hadn’t been born yet!

The man plunged into the crowd after bumping into Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao sneered. She glanced at the ground and made a stone fly upwards with the tip of her toe, then she kicked it again, hitting the man's head precisely.

"Ugh——" The man fell down on the ground with a groan, then turned his head back and saw Gu Jiao, who looked like a little Killing God, behind the crowd.

Everyone But Me Is Reborn

Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.

When she married into the Wangfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.

This was supposed to be Ning Nuan's life.

However this time, everyone but her is reborn.

Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.

There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
