In the dilapidated wooden house, on a wooden bed, lay a young man who was so thin that he looked like a non-human.

His face was skinny and his eyes were like a pair of black holes, which were scary to look at.

The bedding covering him was so thin that one could smell a sour odor even from a distance. It seemed that it had not been washed for a long time.

When the young man saw the big bull, an expression of extraordinary joy appeared on his haggard face.

I saw him struggling to stretch out his hand from the smelly bedding. His hand was so skinny that if you didn't look closely, you would think it was just bones.

"Brother. Great! You're back! I finally managed to see you for the last time."

The voice was dim and hoarse, like the voice of an elderly person in his seventies or eighties, even though he was only in his twenties.

Da Niu was in tears. He staggered a few steps as he walked over, then fell to the bedside. He stretched out his hands, held the young man's hands tightly, and said with a sob.

"Xiao Niu, brother is back. Don't talk nonsense. I found a miracle doctor for you. She can definitely save you, she definitely can!"

When Xiao Niu heard this, his eyes, as deep as black holes, seemed to have a glimmer of hope, but it disappeared in a flash. He smiled faintly, as if to comfort Da Niu, but more as if to comfort himself.

Seeing that Xiao Niu didn't believe him, Da Niu quickly turned to look at Rong Su and pleaded, "Doctor Rong, please help me take care of Xiao Niu!"

Since she has agreed, Rong Su will definitely not go back on her word or shirk her responsibilities.

When he walked forward, Daniu saw him and immediately made way for Rong Su to sit on the edge of the bed.

Rong Su glanced at Xiao Niu's face. Even the word "miserable" could not describe his expression because it was too ugly to look at.

She reached out her hand and gently placed it on Xiaoniu's pulse. She took his pulse and thought that Xiaoniu's condition only looked serious, but she never expected that he was already at the end of his life. He was just holding on to his last breath, like a dying man.

Xiao Niu seemed to see what she was thinking and gave her a calm and composed smile, which shocked her a little.

The young man in front of him was not very old, but when facing his impending death, he had an indifferent look as if he had seen through life and death.

This made her look up to him a little more.

Seeing that Rong Su had been quiet for a long time, Daniu felt very nervous. He rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of tension and anxiety.

"Doctor Rong, my brother's illness is nothing serious. It can definitely be cured, right?"

Looking at Da Niu's anxious and flustered expression, Rong Su could only sigh inwardly that things in the world are unpredictable, and what he said could only be the truth.

"Your brother is dying. His lung disease is very serious and has even invaded his heart. You should say goodbye to him properly."

After hearing this, Da Niu was completely stunned. He was greatly shocked. His eyes were red as bloodshot. It seemed that he did not want to admit the fact at all. He knelt down in front of Rong Su again, crying and begging.

"Doctor Rong, I know you're a miracle doctor. You can save me, so why can't you save my poor brother? He's still so young and hasn't had a good day yet. I beg you, please save him!"

The voice of prayer lingered in her ears, but Rong Su could not be moved, because the fact was that Xiao Niu could not be saved. She was not a god, so how could she save him?

Seeing this, Gu Yun frowned, walked quickly to Xiao Niu's bed, and gently gestured to Xiao Niu to hand over his arm. Xiao Niu did so. He took Xiao Niu's pulse and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

The pulse is extremely weak and will disappear at the slightest disturbance.

When Da Niu saw Gu Yun checking Xiao Niu's pulse, he walked over on his knees, kowtowed and begged Gu Yun.

"Master Gu, do you have a way to save my brother? Please, please help my brother!"

Gu Yun looked embarrassed and stretched out his hands to help Daniu up: "Brother Daniu, you get up first."

Da Niu was as stubborn as a cow. He shook his head and refused to get up.

"No, if I can't save my brother, I can't live alone. Please, Master Gu."

These words undoubtedly sounded like a threat, threatening Gu Yun with his life. Rong Su found it ridiculous and could not help but mock Da Niu.

"What's the point of threatening Gu Yun with your life? If you can't save him, then you can't save him."

Da Niu sat on the ground with a look of despair on his face, his eyes red and swollen, which made Xiao Niu feel uncomfortable. However, because of his sore throat, he found it difficult to persuade his stubborn brother.

"Is there really no way?" The big bull looked at the skinny calf and sobbed bitterly.

Rong Su spoke directly, interrupting Daniu's hope: "No, when Xiaoniu dies, you must move him outside the city and burn his body, otherwise the lung disease will be contagious."

After saying that, she looked at the others again, her face expressionless, like a heartless person without any emotion.

"I'll prepare some medicine later, and each of you can drink it to prevent yourself from contracting lung disease."

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave. When Da Niu saw this, he reached out to pull Rong Su. Rong Su noticed it, immediately retracted her hand, and looked at him coldly.

Da Niu was so frightened by this look that his hands hung in the air, unable to move. He asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor Rong, are you just going to give up on saving my brother?"

This is the fact. Unless the great immortal comes, no one can save the calf.

Rong Su spoke coldly, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope of Da Niu.

"His illness is incurable. I can only give up. Let him quickly tell you about his final arrangements."

After leaving the message, Rong Su turned around and left the cabin, and at the same time asked Gu Yuer to go with her to cook medicine to prevent infection.

Although the cabin is small, it has everything you need, and there is even a small kitchen outside.

Rong Suzheng and Gu Yuer divided the work of cooking the medicine. She was responsible for distributing the prescriptions, while Gu Yuer put them into the medicine pots one by one and then lit the fire to cook.

At this time, Gu Yun walked over with a heavy look on his face, less than his usual gentleness.

He stood in front of Rong Su, wanting to say something but hesitant for a long time, until Rong Su couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her head and looked at him, then asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Yun looked at Rong Su's beautiful face, which was now filled with unfamiliar indifference, and felt some inexplicable fear and pain in his heart.

After a moment's silence, he finally asked her, "A Su, why did you give up on saving the calf?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Rong Su stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and stared at the other person with a speechless smile.

"Haven't you taken the pulse yourself? Don't tell me you didn't see what's going on with the calf?"

In the past, he would feel happy when he heard Rong Su's voice, but now for some reason, hearing her voice was like the year-round cold wind on the snowy mountains, biting and icy.

"However, as doctors, even if we know that a patient may not be able to be cured, we should still do our best to find ways to relieve their pain and prolong their life, rather than just giving up."

Seeing Gu Yun accusing her like this for the first time, Rong Su looked at him with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She felt quite strange and speechless.

She was even a little unhappy. She was not someone who could be blamed by anyone. If she felt uncomfortable, she would just speak up and refute.

"Since you don't want to give up, then go and save her. I won't stop you. Why are you telling me so much?"

This was the first time that Gu Yun heard such sharp words from Rong Su's mouth. There was a look of shock in his eyes. Disappointment, sadness, and disbelief flowed through his heart one by one, and he found it difficult to accept it.

Finally, he became a little angry, and his handsome face showed a little anger. It took him a long time to utter a word.

"it is good!"

Seeing Gu Yun walk away with a wave of his sleeve, Rong Su withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and continued to prepare medicine.

Gu Yuer, who was cooking medicine, naturally heard the conversation. She looked at Gu Yun who had already left, and then looked at Rong Su. She saw that she looked indifferent and didn't seem to care about the quarrel just now.

Gu Yuer was a little anxious. What should she do? Her brother and Sister Rong had a quarrel. Would it be impossible for them to be together after this?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Just as she was about to speak to ease the awkward atmosphere, she turned around and saw that Rong Su was gone.

Suddenly, Gu Yuer became even more panicked. What should she do?

She happened to see Shi Tou passing by, so she walked up to him and reached out to pull his arm.

When Shitou saw that it was Gu Yu'er, his whole body seemed to be frozen in place, and he didn't dare to look around. He asked softly, "Miss Gu, what's the matter?"

Gu Yu'er didn't pay much attention to Shitou's condition. She just anxiously asked Rong Su, "Brother Shitou, have you seen where Sister Rong went? I just saw her preparing medicine. How come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Hearing that Gu Yu'er was looking for Rong Su, Shi Tou's expression became much calmer. He thought to himself that Miss Rong was probably talking to her master now. Then he looked at Gu Yu'er who looked anxious, and it seemed that something had happened.

Without much hesitation, Shitou decided to help his master, so he told a lie with his eyes open and changed the subject.

"I didn't see it. Miss Gu, is the medicine pot boiling? I see it's about to overflow."

When Gu Yuer heard that the medicine was about to spill, her attention was immediately diverted and she hurried over to check the medicine.

"Oh, my medicine!"

Gu Yuer didn't ask any more questions, and Shitou finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to help.

On the other side, Rong Su was indeed talking to Shen Peiqing.

She just discovered that there was a medicinal ingredient that was insufficient, and planned to go to a nearby pharmacy to see if she had any.

Not far from the cabin, she saw Shen Peiqing leaning against a tree stump. He saw her and even called out to her.

"Is that calf really beyond saving?"

Rong Su was momentarily stunned when she heard Shen Peiqing's question. She looked at him deeply and couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect you to care so much about a complete stranger. It seems I've been wrong about you. You're actually a very kind person."

Shen Peiqing heard the sharpness in Rong Su's words and couldn't help but frowned slightly, but he didn't get angry because of her words. Instead, he spoke in a calm voice.

"Are you and Gu Yun unhappy?"

When Gu Yun was mentioned, Rong Su felt unhappy and the words she said were even a bit aggressive.

"What's going on between him and me? What does it have to do with you? Shen Peiqing, you're so free, you might as well practice your skills. Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Seeing Rong Su's mood swings so violently, Shen Peiqing was a little surprised and felt a little unhappy. It seemed that Gu Yun had become someone who could affect her emotions, which was not what he wanted.

He stared at Rong Su. She was angry now, and no one should offend her at this time. But he didn't like her getting angry for Gu Yun. He couldn't say why, but he just didn't like it.

"That's so unlike you, Rong Su. You're someone who acts out of self-interest. Since Xiao Niu can't be saved, the facts are the facts. Why get angry?"

These words seemed to be comforting her. Rong Su couldn't help but look at Shen Peiqing's cold and handsome face, which was facing her at the moment. His pair of ink-black eyes were staring at her. There seemed to be an endless whirlpool of depth hidden in them, a depth that was difficult to guess.

I don't understand what he means, but he is right. I don't need to be angry about this fact or be angry with others.

"Thank you." After saying these two words, Rong Su turned around and left to buy medicine.

Watching Rong Su leave and hearing her say thank you, Shen Peiqing's momentary unhappiness seemed to return to cheerfulness. He curled the corners of his mouth, crossed his arms across his chest, leaned comfortably against the tree stump, and stared at the sky that had turned gray due to the arrival of winter.

When Rong Su came back with the herbs, Gu Yuer would tell her that everyone had already drunk the medicinal tea to prevent infection and had gone to rest.

Gu Yuer even told her that Xiao Niu's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and now he was just a spent force, holding on, as if he wanted to stay with Da Niu for a while.

After hearing this, Rong Su fell silent and just said that she understood.

Then she passed the parlor, a small hall in the cabin with a table and a few chairs.

At this moment, there was an oil lamp on the table, and a figure with an upright back was reading a book by the lamp.

When I got closer, I saw it was Gu Yun. He was flipping through books intently. Looking closely, I could tell they were medical books.

When Rong Su saw this scene, she didn't know how to express her feelings. She just felt an indescribable feeling for the first time.

I was a little panicked because of the traffic jam, and my heart was filled with some complicated emotions that were difficult to explain.

After looking for a while, she turned and walked away, passing by the window of Xiao Maverick's room again.

She vaguely heard the calf's very soft mumbling.

"Brother...Brother...I don't really want to leave. I really want to fly kites with you again and cook for you again. Brother, don't blame me for leaving first..."

This scene was like a needle that suddenly pierced her heart, and an indescribable pain spread inside.

A picture suddenly popped into her mind.

In her memory, there was also a person who once looked at her very weakly, said a lot and expressed hope, hoping to do many things with her.

Unfortunately, that person was beyond medical help and left her forever.

At that time, she vowed that she would learn medicine if she had the chance in the future, and would never let herself lose someone who would make her regret.

Rong Su felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She leaned against the wall and stared at the cold night sky. The sky was dark, without a trace of light. There was no moon in the sky, and even the stars were pitifully few.

She covered her chest, lowered her head, and reflected on herself, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

I shouldn't be so absolute. Daniel's despair now is so similar to mine back then...
