"Dad, you have to hold on! Hold on! I'll send someone to bring Gu Shuo back right away." Gu's second son grew anxious. He wiped away his tears, ignoring the hateful glares from the others, and turned to call for his own son.
Mr. Gu lay on the bed, turned his back to the crowd, and secretly pounded his chest. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned his head and said, "Go to General Xiang's residence and tell the little child of the Xiang family that I am critically ill."
?
"Dad, what does you being critically ill have to do with the little child from General Xiang's residence?" Gu's fourth son asked, confused.
"Just go when I tell you to! Why all the nonsense? COUGH COUGH COUGH..."
"Dad, don't be angry. I'll go right now, right now." Gu's fourth son didn't dare talk back anymore and raised a hand to help his father catch his breath.
Mr. Gu calmed down and slapped his hand away. "Still not going? You're trying to provoke me on purpose, aren't you?"
