Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 44 Beautiful people and kind hearts

Gu Qingyue didn't care about any of that. If she had a stethoscope, she would have loved to listen to the patient's heart and lungs, but unfortunately she didn't.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Gu Qingyue walked to the low table, sat down cross-legged, and Zhao Er prepared the brush and ink at the right time.

Gu Qingyue paused briefly before writing the prescription. The patient's main problem was that the wound was not thoroughly cleaned after the injury. The wound was deep and the open wound was large, which inevitably led to bacterial infection and caused a high fever. On the other hand, the patient had a relatively serious fall injury, and the fever was also due to the body's stress response. If it were a Western medicine treatment, using antipyretic injections would relieve the fever symptoms more quickly.

However, given the current circumstances, we have no choice but to use traditional Chinese medicine, which is something she is quite good at.

Gu Qingyue wrote out the prescription, handed it to Zhao Er, gave him instructions, stood up, and walked towards the people waiting by the bedside.

Seeing the questioning looks from Mu Yun Chu and the two behind her, Gu Qing Yue was pondering how to begin when Mu Bei impatiently asked, "Young Master Qing Yue, General Zhao's injuries..."

Gu Qingyue nodded. "I need to do some physical cooling for him now. It's crucial to bring down the fever. Who can lend a hand? I wonder if there's any ice in this military camp? If so, bring it over."

After saying that, he opened the medicine box he had brought with him.

The moment it was opened, Mu Yun Chu was stunned. He had never seen such a large box before. He saw Gu Qing Yue open the lid and pull out several wooden compartments inside to form a stepped shape. Each layer was filled to the brim, which was quite "spectacular".

This kid is really unexpected. Thinking about the recent investigation, he raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

At first, I thought he was just an ordinary boy searching for his family, but later I found out that he knew medicine, and then I found out that he was also quite skilled in martial arts.

She also loves to meddle in other people's business, especially rescuing people everywhere. After rescuing them, she takes care of them. You could say she's kind-hearted, but when it comes to killing, she's ruthless.

He also indirectly provided them with information about Pan Shisan and Ye Wenqi, a spy from the Nanzhao Kingdom, and even saved his and Yan'er's lives.

It is said that he now runs an inn and also holds consultations at Huichun Medical Clinic. After reading all this, he couldn't help but become curious and interested in the young man.

He would love to bring him under his wing if possible, but this couldn't be rushed.

Seeing him pull open Zhao Yushan's collar to take off his clothes, Mu Yun Chu gave Mu Bei a look and walked out of the tent.

"Go and ask if there's any ice in the camp. Go to the commander's tent and the kitchen," Mu Yun Chu ordered Mu Nan as she stood outside the tent.

"Yes," Mu Nan immediately accepted the order and left.

Inside the tent, Gu Qingyue took out the alcohol she had made herself from the bottom of the box. Of course, its purity was definitely not up to medical standards, but it was still good for disinfection and cooling.

Watching Gu Qingyue pour a clear liquid into a wooden basin, smelling a strong aroma of alcohol, Mu Bei's eyes lit up. He knew that alcohol was said to be used to clean wounds, so it seemed that this kid was well-prepared.

Mu Bei was stunned when Gu Qingyue cleaned the wounds with alcohol, sutured the longer incision on his abdomen, applied ointment, and re-bandaged it. Even more shockingly, she then used a cotton cloth soaked in alcohol to wipe Zhao Canjiang's armpits.

Zhao Er was so astonished that he couldn't utter a word; his scalp was tingling with fear!

If Mu Bei hadn't stopped him, he would have drawn his sword as he watched Gu Qingyue stitch up Zhao Canjiang's wound.

Looking at the stunned Mu Bei and the incredulous Zhao Er, Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. How could she not see that they had been secretly observing her every move? It seemed that they didn't trust her very much.

It doesn't matter. Once she saves the person in front of her, she won't be afraid that they won't believe in her medical skills.

Dealing with government officials is such a hassle!

About half an hour later, after Gu Qingyue removed the silver needles and helped Zhao Canjiang put his clothes back on, the two of them left the tent, leaving only Zhao Er to guard it.

Mu Yun Chu, who was waiting outside, turned around and saw the two people's tired faces. Her heart skipped a beat, but judging from their expressions, Zhao Canjiang should be saved. The weight in her heart slowly lifted.

Zhao Yushan was one of his closer friends after he joined the army, and he couldn't bear to watch him get into trouble.

"I couldn't find any ice. Is it a serious problem? I've already sent someone to the county town to inquire," Mu Yun Chu said as soon as he saw Gu Qing Yue come out. Logically speaking, the weather is still very hot, and there should be some reserves in the military camp. However, the imperial court's military pay has been a problem for the past two years, so they won't provide money to buy cooling supplies. He was helpless.

Seeing Mu Yun Chu's worried expression, Gu Qing Yue waved her hand, "It's alright, we don't need it for now." It would be best if we had it, and it would be useful if someone had a high fever. If we really don't have it, then so be it.

"Young Master Mu, General Zhao's high fever has subsided, and he should be fine now," Mu Bei quickly reported upon seeing his master's expression.

After hearing this, Mu Yunchu nodded to Gu Qingyue and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest first." Then she led Mu Nan into the tent.

Gu Qingyue looked back at his back, and her anxious heart finally calmed down.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything about needing to be cured or that he wouldn't let you leave or would take your life. Isn't that how government officials treat commoners in ancient romance novels?

Fortunately, Mu Xiaoqi is beautiful inside and out, and she is reasonable.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue felt a little lightheaded and happy. After all, she had once again made her presence felt in front of the handsome young man. It felt great!

After resting until noon, Gu Qingyue gave Zhao Canjiang acupuncture again, left a prescription for treating the wound and conditioning the body, and solemnly instructed Zhao Er on the precautions for caring for the patient before returning to Liquan County with Mu Bei.

Upon returning to the county town, Gu Qingyue did not go back to the inn, but instead went to Huichun Medical Clinic. She needed to replenish her medicinal herbs. She had used up quite a bit of her own specially formulated medicine to treat General Zhao's illness that morning, which made her feel a pang of heartache. However, when she reached into the hidden pocket of her chest and touched the two hundred taels of silver notes, she felt relieved.

Sigh, treating illnesses is really lucrative! There's no way around it, she just loves counting banknotes and silver coins—so vulgar! But the feeling is just wonderful!

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but smile as she thought about how she had taken another small step forward on the road to accumulating wealth. Even after entering the clinic, she still had a silly grin on her face.

Dr. Zhang had just finished writing a prescription for a patient when he looked up and saw his young apprentice come in with a silly grin.

A moment of surprise flashed through her mind. Although this young master was a bit stingy, his medical skills were quite good. When he was seeing patients, he liked to keep a serious face, like a little adult. She had never seen him act so silly before. What good thing had happened to him?

"Little Master, is there good news?" Doctor Zhang eagerly stepped forward and took the medicine box from Gu Qingyue's hands.

"Fortunately, I went to the military camp today to treat General Zhao's injuries, so I'm here to replenish some medicinal herbs," Gu Qingyue waved her hand, instantly displaying the demeanor and temperament of a young adult.

She was the master in front of Dr. Zhang, that old geezer, so she had to keep a respectful distance.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhang's eyes lit up, and his messy beard trembled.

"You treated General Zhao's injuries? My little master is amazing! Little master, can you tell me how you treated General Zhao's injuries? I want to learn." After saying that, he showed a very flattering smile, his small squinting eyes became a line. Gu Qingyue's eyes hurt again. She still liked to look at handsome men, it was pleasing to the eye.
