Chapter 405: 405 Actually, it’s not easy for anyone_1

Gu Chen knew very well that the bowl of medicine he held in his hand didn’t look particularly appealing.

Or to put it bluntly... it was extremely unsightly.

But this was the most effective prescription he could come up with in the shortest amount of time.

Although he had grown many herbs in the System Domain, and the flow of time was different inside and outside the space,

different flow didn’t mean a complete standstill.

He, an Intermediate Chinese Medicine Practitioner, was very aware that the child was now at the most critical juncture of his life.

Every second of delay meant greater danger for the patient.

He really didn’t have time to consider much, not even the herbs in the bowl,

which he had just dug up from the ground, crushed, and then immediately concocted over a fresh fire.

As for waiting for the hospital to save the day, that wasn’t an impossible option.

But with an hour’s drive, by the time they arrived at the location, the child’s corpse might already be cold.

Although Gu Chen himself didn’t have a hundred percent certainty of curing the child completely,

with his medical skills and the superior herbs from the System Domain, he could try to stabilize Xiao Xuan’s condition.

He could even temporarily keep him alive.

After the dark green soup medicine in his hand was fully poured in,

Xiao Xuan, who had been in a coma, gradually began to show a sign of consciousness.

Then Gu Chen grabbed his wrist and began to take his pulse.

Before long, the tense expression on his face finally eased slightly.

He also turned his head and said to Teacher Zhang and the driver, who were both full of concern.

"Driver, please continue to the hospital, Xiao Xuan’s condition won’t be in danger for now."

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the vehicle inexplicably let out a sigh of relief as well.

Even the driver showed a hint of joy on his face.

He nodded vigorously, and the coach kicked up dust on the suburban cement road.

Hurriedly speeding toward the direction of the hospital.

After Gu Chen had given his patient the medicine, he didn’t just stop there.

He then reached into his pocket and, in front of everyone,

pulled out something remarkably fresh... a mushroom?

In the next second, he hesitated almost no time at all before feeding it into the patient’s mouth.

Seeing this, all the parents in the car couldn’t help but swallow in unison.

By now their look at Gu Chen was virtually no different from staring at a Mongolian shaman.

After all, they were aware of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture or consuming herbal medicine fell within their scope of understanding.

Even if Gu Chen were to grab a scorpion right then and tell them it was to fight poison with poison,

they might just barely accept that explanation.

But using raw mushrooms as a treatment was simply beyond their comprehension.

Even those seated closest could see that the piece of mushroom was indeed very fresh.

They even doubted in their minds whether Gu Chen had just picked it from beneath a tree by the roadside.

After all, they were currently in the suburbs of Chuan City, and they had all read newspaper stories about people being poisoned by eating wild mushrooms.

Could it be this was also some kind of treatment by using poison to fight poison?

The onlookers were baffled but didn’t dare to speak out.

Xiaoxuan’s Mom, who had a combative prowess far stronger than theirs, was now quiet and didn’t utter a sound,

shrunken into her seat and not daring to even let out a fart.

What if they couldn’t hold back their words and Gu Chen ended up beating them too?

The female parents present might have been complaining internally, but they suddenly felt that perhaps he wasn’t just some pretty boy; wasn’t that pretty boy known for speaking tenderly and acting slowly?

This man, was quicker than a rabbit and also so decisive.

But at the moment, no one dared to stick their heads out and talk nonsense.

Gu Chen was even hoping these people would remain quiet for a while.

After all, if someone insisted on asking him where that steaming bowl of medicinal soup had come from,

he really wouldn’t have a good answer himself.

Surrounded by desolate wilderness, there wasn’t even time to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.

Forty minutes later, after a frenzied drive as if their lives depended on it,

the bus finally stopped in front of a hospital.

Seeing the almost panicky nurses rushing up with a stretcher,

Gu Chen knew he could finally step back and let others take over.

In fact, after his continuous treatment along the way,

Xiao Xuan’s body had already mostly neutralized the poison.

His Intermediate Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills were particularly effective in treating arsenic trioxide poisoning.

However, the concurrent allergic symptoms were still quite stubborn and wouldn’t be resolved quickly.

Western medicine could produce instant effects in this area.

Gu Chen wasn’t going to play the hero needlessly.

What he had wanted, from beginning to end, was to find a way to save the child’s life.

It was just that when he left the hospital with Sugar,

he could clearly feel that woman watching him resentfully from a corner.

And looking at her pig-headed face, Gu Chen couldn’t be bothered to pay her any attention,

but he couldn’t help feeling sorry for the child named Xiao Xuan.

Having such an unreasonable and stupid shrew for a mother and yet managing to survive safely until now

was indeed a feat in itself.

After doing all this, Gu Chen returned to the bus.

By then, the other parents had already taken their children and left.

Only Teacher Zhang and the bus driver were still waiting outside.

Gu Chen relayed the news that Xiao Xuan was out of danger and the whole story of the food poisoning and seafood allergy to the two of them.

After hearing this, both the driver and Teacher Zhang couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

"Teacher Zhang, use this to apply some ice on your face; it’ll be good for you,"

Gu Chen, holding Sugar in his left arm, took out an ice pack he had just bought at the hospital with his right hand,

and handed it to Zhang Qianqian, who was covering her cheek.

"Sugar’s dad..."

Teacher Zhang looked at the warm smile on Gu Chen’s face and the crisscrossing bloodstains on his arm.

She was momentarily stunned, thinking about how he had just done his utmost for a child who wasn’t related to him,

and her heart gradually warmed.

Then she stretched out her hand, took the ice pack from him, and also revealed her somewhat swollen cheek.

Her face showed a sincere and radiant smile for the first time as she said to Gu Chen,

"Thank you, there aren’t many good people like you around these days."

Gu Chen scratched his head, looking at her radiant smile and sighed,

"Teacher Zhang, no job is easy really, and being a person isn’t easy either. Even when you’re misunderstood by a parent for trying to do what’s best for their child, don’t be disheartened. You are a good teacher."

Zhang Qianqian smiled even more brightly, speaking heartily,

"Thank you, Sugar’s dad. You really are a good person."

"Uh..."

Gu Chen had long been immune to the ’good person card,’ so he just smiled, "Well, I should take my child home now."
