Chapter 360: Poisonous Blood from the Heart

Chapter 360: Poisonous Blood from the Heart

What Sixth Brother saw was that Mr. Si Meng was still in a deep sleep.

He asked with some confusion, "Ninth Brother, what's wrong with the old fox?"

Despite holding back when he had acted against Fifth Brother, he was still somewhat worried that he might have been too harsh and sent this old ghost to his final rest.

"Ninth Brother, don't worry; I've thought of a way to deal with this old fox," Mo Jiuye explained.

Upon hearing this, the knot in Sixth Brother's heart seemed to loosen considerably.

Although he hadn't seen Ninth Brother for many years, through their recent interactions, he realized that Ninth Brother was no longer the young and inexperienced boy he once was. Perhaps due to the family's upheavals over the years, Ninth Brother had become more composed and wise, surpassing the other brothers in intelligence.

Therefore, he unconditionally believed whatever Ninth Brother said.

"Alright, I'll find a quiet spot."

The conversation between the two brothers did not escape Fifth Brother's ears. Although he didn't interject, he shared the same sentiment as Sixth Brother—that if Ninth Brother said he had a plan, it would be foolproof.

The three brothers drove the carriage into a secluded yet flat forest, and Sixth Brother reined in the horses.

"Ninth Brother, I think this place is good."

Mo Jiuye wasn't overly concerned but wanted to avoid any potential trouble given their special identities and the presence of Mr. Si Meng. He opened the carriage door and checked inside.

"Sixth Brother, this spot is perfect. Let's do it here."

Without delay, he planned to extract the blood from Mr. Si Meng's heart before he woke up.

"Sixth Brother, you keep watch outside and respond promptly to any danger. Fifth Brother, come help me inside."

Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother nodded solemnly, each taking on their respective tasks.

As soon as Fifth Brother entered the carriage, he eagerly asked, "Ninth Brother, what do you need me to do?"

Mo Jiuye didn't immediately explain but took out two surgical knives given to him by his wife.

"Fifth Brother, take off the old fox's shirt."

Fifth Brother didn't know what Ninth Brother intended to do, but after a brief moment of hesitation, he started acting.

Although the sterilization step was skipped, the lighting required for surgery was still crucial, as they weren't trying to kill Mr. Si Meng just yet.

Mo Jiuye pondered for a moment and reluctantly took out a small, powerful flashlight and a white porcelain bottle from his bag.

Considering the extreme toxicity of Mr. Si Meng's blood from the heart, he couldn't risk his or his brothers' lives.

Mo Jiuye then gave himself and Fifth Brother a pair of medical rubber gloves each.

Fifth Brother's eyes widened at the sight of these strange items.

"Ninth Brother, what are these?"

Mo Jiuye had anticipated the questions and calmly replied, "These were gifts from foreigners. I initially thought they were useless, but your sister-in-law insisted on packing them, worrying we might need them on our journey."

When it came to foreigners, Fifth Brother had no doubts. After all, the glass used in building their house, which Eighth Brother mentioned, was indeed purchased from foreigners by Ninth Brother and his wife.

If foreigners could provide such special glass, why not these small items?

Mo Jiuye didn't know what Fifth Brother was thinking, but he knew his explanation was vague. Nevertheless, having an excuse was better than none.

At this moment, he was fully focused.

Unlike He Zhiran, who was professional with a scalpel, Mo Jiuye needed to ensure he didn't harm Mr. Si Meng. Therefore, he was extremely nervous.

He recalled how his wife operated on others, found the right spot, and swiftly cut into Mr. Si Meng's skin with the sharp surgical knife.

Watching Ninth Brother's actions, Fifth Brother felt anxious for him.

Though Mo Jiuye understood the principles, this was his first time performing such a task, so his movements were somewhat clumsy.

Fortunately, everything proceeded according to plan without any mishaps.

Fifth Brother, closely watching Mo Jiuye, suddenly heard him say urgently, "Fifth Brother, get ready to collect the blood."

Mo Jiuye quickly located the main artery at the center of Mr. Si Meng's heart, where the poisonous blood resided.

Fifth Brother hurriedly positioned the porcelain bottle correctly and opened the stopper.

To prevent the toxic blood from splashing, Mo Jiuye's movements became gentle.

He carefully fixed the blood vessel with forceps and aligned it with the bottle's opening.

With another swift cut, Mr. Si Meng's blood flowed smoothly into the porcelain bottle.

Mo Jiuye handled the procedure well, ensuring no blood splashed, which relieved him.

The blood, slowly flowing out, was pitch black. Fifth Brother collected nearly half the bottle before its color gradually returned to normal.

Mo Jiuye had learned about this situation from the book and was not particularly shocked by it.

However, Fifth Brother was different. The large half-bottle of dark black heart blood completely exceeded his understanding.

"Ninth Brother, what is this?"

Sixth Brother, who was on guard outside the carriage, also overheard their conversation and was very curious about what was happening inside.

If he hadn't needed to stay vigilant, he would have gone to inquire immediately.

To explain the situation of extracting Mr. Si Meng's heart blood to resolve the current crisis, Mo Jiuye knew he had to clarify things to his two elder brothers.

As he helped Mr. Si Meng sew up his wound, he explained everything he knew.

After listening to Ninth Brother's explanation, the two brothers sighed in relief but also felt a lingering fear.

If Ninth Brother hadn't reacted quickly, Mr. Si Meng might have truly activated his life-bound gu to commit suicide and then detonated the heart blood. At that point, they wouldn't have been able to save their father and brothers; even the three of them might have died along with him.

They never expected Ninth Brother to be so knowledgeable and skilled in these matters.

Especially Fifth Brother, who witnessed Ninth Brother successfully extract Mr. Si Meng's heart blood, now admired Ninth Brother beyond words.

While explaining the situation, Mo Jiuye had already finished treating Mr. Si Meng's wound.

Fifth Brother carefully sealed the porcelain bottle and put it away before helping to dress Mr. Si Meng.

To prevent him from escaping, the two brothers bound him tightly once again.

Mo Jiuye then carefully took the porcelain bottle containing the heart blood and poured some into another porcelain bottle that held Mr. Si Meng's life-bound gu.

Under the light, it could be seen that the life-bound gu within the porcelain bottle became particularly excited upon encountering its master's heart blood and showed no intention of escaping the bottle.

This indicated that Mo Jiuye's method was correct. As long as the life-bound gu could constantly contact its master's heart blood, it would remain alive, even if the master tried to use it to commit suicide.
