Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Request for Treatment
After Jiangli entered the side hall, she merely glanced at Guo Xuwen’s family before walking back to her seat without a second look.
"Alright, our Abbot is here. If you have anything to say, just go ahead." Fu’er stood to the side and introduced.
Upon hearing this, Su Lifan looked at Jiangli somewhat nervously and unexpectedly.
Guo Xuwen had only told them that there was a master online who prophesized that he would die within three days.
This prompted their family to rush to Jiaoyang Temple.
Initially, upon seeing Fu’er and Xia Xin, they thought the Abbot would be an older man.
They were surprised to find that it was actually a young girl.
While Su Lifan was hesitating, Guo Ji couldn’t hold back and spoke up, "You are the Abbot? Could you please take a look at my son’s injury and see what’s really going on?"
Upon hearing this, Jiangli cast her gaze past Su Lifan’s face and said, "Sick? How did he get sick?"
As she spoke, she looked directly at Guo Xuwen.
Guo Xuwen was sweating once again, and although the side hall had the air conditioner on, it seemed to be of no use to him. Every strand of his hair was soaked with sweat and clung to his forehead. His eyelids were barely open, and he seemed extremely weak, unable to speak any longer.
Seeing this, Su Lifan anxiously explained on behalf of Guo Xuwen, "It’s not an illness... I don’t know how to put it. Yesterday, Xuwen was fine, but at midnight, he went to take a bath and somehow didn’t notice that the cold water turned hot, burning himself."
Jiangli calmly said, "If it’s a burn, he should be in the hospital. Why come here?"
Su Lifan quickly explained, "We’ve already been to the hospital! The doctor applied medication and prescribed painkillers, but inexplicably, the medication had no effect. The injury got worse, and Xuwen couldn’t bear the pain or sleep. He feels as if there’s a fire burning him whenever he closes his eyes, and the doctor has no idea why. They’ve done many tests, but nothing works..."
Especially since Guo Xuwen’s skin was turning increasingly red, looking like it had been roasted.
The doctors had never seen such an illness and were at a loss for what to do.
Su Lifan and Guo Ji were getting anxious, unsure of what to do, and it was Guo Xuwen who suddenly suggested coming to Jiaoyang Temple.
It was on the way here that Su Lifan learned Guo Xuwen had his fortune told once.
However, Guo Xuwen didn’t reveal much, only saying the Jiaoyang Abbot told him he wouldn’t live beyond three days.
He felt his injury wasn’t normal and might indeed be related to some supernatural encounter.
Hearing this from Guo Xuwen, Su Lifan and Guo Ji didn’t hesitate to bring him here.
They were out of options and were willing to try anything as a last resort.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli’s gaze fell upon Guo Xuwen.
Seeing this, Su Lifan thought Jiangli’s sympathy had been aroused, and she immediately stepped forward to remove the towel from Guo Xuwen’s body, revealing a large swath of his back red as blood.
All the blisters had merged into one large patch, and the skin on his entire back seemed to be swollen and filled with blood, as if it had been doused in acid.
Xia Xin and Master Wu, upon seeing this, felt a pang on their own backs.
The injury was truly severe...
Some unmelted medication still adhered to the wound, mixed with the injury, making it look even more horrifying.
"Abbot, please, can my son’s injury be treated?" Su Lifan nearly burst into tears seeing Guo Xuwen’s wound, pleading as she looked toward Jiangli.
