Zhang Dagang had heard of Gu Village, but Gu Village was just a legend, and he didn't expect it to actually exist.
"The one who bewitched Niuniu's mother was the Gu Master of our Gu Village. No one can cure the bewitched she cast except herself." The old lady sighed after saying this.
"In order to feed the marrow-eating worm over the years, I gave away all the little Gu worms I raised to it, spending half my life's efforts. Now the marrow-eating worm's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and its taste is getting more and more tricky."
The old lady fell silent after speaking.
Maybe if she didn't use her selfish motives to take the marrow-eating Gu as her own, and didn't feed the marrow-eating Gu to the little voodoo she raised, the marrow-eating Gu might have died long ago.
Now there are only two and a half months left. If the poison in her granddaughter's head cannot be removed in two and a half months, she will not have the shame to go see her daughter.
"Are you saying that the worm has lived in your granddaughter's head for three years?"
The old lady raised her eyelids when she heard Zhang Dagang's question: "That Gu worm has grown up now, and it is a time when the demand for brains is great."
"After my daughter suffered a heavy hemorrhage, the voodoo's vitality was severely damaged, so it only ate the little voodoos I sent in. Now it has driven out all the little voodoos I sent in."
This was the first time Zhang Dagang heard such a strange thing. He tapped his index finger on the table and fell into deep thought again.
That Gu is greedy, cunning, and has the same color as the brain. It seems that if you want to catch it, it will be really troublesome.
"I'm afraid I need to perform a craniotomy on your granddaughter." Zhang Dagang sat upright with a serious look on his face: "It's the easiest way to just take out the Gu worm."
"Then the Gu insect will have nowhere to hide, and it will be easier for us to catch it." Zhang Dagang continued to explain.
If you don't open the skull, you can use the power of the dragon to force out the Gu worms inside, but after all, you are right next to the weakest human brain.
If the Gu bug is angered and causes irreparable damage to the patient's brain, it will be too late to save him. After all, there are still two months left, so there is no need to take such a big risk.
Moreover, craniotomy can more intuitively see the movement trajectory of the worm.
When the old lady heard that Zhang Dagang was going to perform a craniotomy on her granddaughter, she immediately refused without thinking.
"The voodoos cannot be seen in the light. If you perform a craniotomy, the voodoos will only burrow into the brain. My granddaughter will be dead by then. This is absolutely not okay."
The old lady had resistance written all over her body.
Zhang Dagang didn't expect that the little Gu insect would be so difficult to deal with, and he was in trouble for a while.
He sent the old lady out of the office and sat cross-legged by himself to meditate.
He originally wanted to continue to practice the power of the dragon at a faster pace, but he didn't expect that as soon as he closed his eyes, the "Theology of Traditional Chinese Medicine" in his mind emitted a dazzling golden light.
In an instant, Zhang Dagang opened his eyes, and his whole body had turned into a sea of books.
Zhang Dagang stretched out his hand, and a large piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing slowly fell into his hand, and what was recorded on the paper was the marrow-eating insect.
"Do you like the smell of mint and mugwort very much?" Zhang Dagang's eyes lit up, and the scene in front of him changed again, and he returned to the hospital's office.
Zhang Dagang stood up, already having a plan in mind.
He picked up the record on the table and calculated based on the time on the record that the next onset of illness should be three and a half hours later.
Three and a half hours is quite ample time.
Zhang Dagang walked out of the office, looked at the dejected look on the old lady's face in the ward, and walked towards her.
"I have a way, but the craniotomy must be done. I won't let the light pierce the marrow-eating Gu."
Zhang Dagang looked determined: "The patient still has three and a half hours before the next attack. If you agree, we can contact the craniotomy expert now."
The old lady held her granddaughter's hand tightly and shook her head firmly.
If craniotomy could be performed, the marrow-eating poison in my granddaughter's brain would have been removed long ago. How could she wait until now?
"Old lady, I have the ability of night vision." Zhang Dagang told the truth.
The old lady raised her head in surprise, a look of disbelief flashing in her muddy old eyes.
"really?"
Zhang Dagang nodded: "I will never hide anything."
The old lady immediately nodded and agreed to the operation. Although Zhang Dagang thought the old lady was strange, he didn't think much about it and immediately asked the old doctor to arrange a craniotomy specialist and prepare to enter the operating room.
Zhang Dagang went to a nearby pharmacy and bought a handful of dried mugwort and dried mint leaves, put them in the pocket of his surgical gown and entered the operating room.
The craniotomy expert was already in place. Zhang Dagang signaled him to start first, while he sat cross-legged in the corner of the operating room and began to absorb the power of the dragon.
Each operation consumes a huge amount of divine power, and Zhang Dagang does not dare to be careless in the slightest.
There was silence in the operating room. The divine dragon power in Zhang Dagang's body was running wildly, but very little of the divine dragon power could be absorbed into his body. A pale golden mist surrounded his body and did not integrate into his body.
Zhang Dagang looked at the mist surrounding him and controlled the power of the dragon in his body to move faster.
But the mist still took its time, slowly integrating into his body like a twilight old man.
As time passed, the surgeon who performed the craniotomy turned off the operating light according to Zhang Dagang's arrangement, and the entire operating room was instantly invisible.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dagang glanced at the time in the operating room and continued to meditate unhurriedly.
The doctors and nurses were already waiting quietly.
Those doctors and nurses knew Zhang Dagang's ability, and no one said anything to disturb him at this time.
Time passed very slowly. Zhang Dagang opened his eyes suddenly, and the time happened to be 12:30, which was the time when the Gu insects came out to act.
Zhang Dagang strode to the side of the operating table. With the blessing of the dragon's power, Zhang Dagang's eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw the girl's already opened head at a glance.
Zhang Dagang removed his head and saw the thin, white marrow-eating poison selflessly eating the girl's brain.
Zhang Dagang took the sterilized tweezers next to him and gently approached the marrow-eating Gu.
The marrow-eating Gu reacted extremely sensitively and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a small ball of black cake.
The marrow-eating Gu had disappeared, and Zhang Dagang used the power of the dragon to probe deep into the patient's skull.
There was still no trace of the marrow-eating Gu. Zhang Dagang explored carefully and finally saw the marrow-eating Gu lying directly on the patient's brain in an obscure corner.
The color of this thing is similar to the color of the brain, and it is almost difficult to distinguish it if it is not moving.
Zhang Dagang did not dare to stimulate him with the power of the dragon, so he took out a lighter from his surgical pocket and lit mugwort and mint leaves in the corner of the operating room.
The smell of mugwort and mint leaves spread in the operating room, and all the doctors and nurses changed their expressions.
The operating room is a sterile environment, especially for patients who are undergoing craniotomy. If infection occurs, it will be irreparable damage to the patient.
