"Yes, but testing poisons on oneself is just too dangerous."
"Having just seen Doctor Gu unconscious, could something go wrong? Doctor Gu isn't in danger, is he?"
Shopkeeper Hu wiped away his sweat—this he could not answer. He also did not know what condition Gu Youyou was in now.
Doctor Ji from Jisheng Hall stroked his beard and sighed, "Healers who test poisons on themselves have existed since ancient times. There was the legendary Emperor Shennong, who tasted all kinds of herbs. In the end, he died from the poison of a rupturing grass, leaving behind the legend of Shennong tasting all the herbs. If Doctor Gu really... alas! What a pity, what a pity. Doctor Gu is so young, in the prime of life..."
Everyone fell silent.
"This... really, if something were to happen to Doctor Gu, it would be such a regret."
All present shared in the sighs of regret and concern.
