Su Huaiyue died suddenly from staying up late writing her thesis! Before she could even lament being a young genius envied by the heavens, she found herself transmigrated to a vast, boundless deser...
Immediately afterwards, the two of them were busy between the tents.
Su Huaiyue carefully observed their facial expressions, her focused expression as if she was reading a precious book, not missing any subtle changes. She also carefully examined their tongue coating, trying to find the root cause of the disease from these subtle physical manifestations.
Wei Che helped record the patients' conditions. His handwriting was neat and powerful, and every word recorded the soldiers' hopes.
He also handed over various medical instruments and medicines from time to time, his movements were quick and accurate, and he cooperated with Su Huaiyue in perfect harmony.
Just as Su Huaiyue and Wei Che were meticulously preparing medicine for the soldiers in the tent, a soldier came running in, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He even forgot to salute and shouted, "Miss Su, Master Wei, this is bad. The general has also contracted the plague. His condition is very serious. The army doctors are helpless. Please go and see him quickly."
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che's faces changed suddenly when they heard this, and their originally focused expressions were instantly replaced by anxiety.
They immediately stood up, without even having time to put down the medicine they were preparing, and followed the soldiers as they hurried towards the general's tent.
Along the way, they felt heavy and anxious.
Inside the general's tent, the atmosphere was as heavy as the oppression before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
The military doctors gathered around the bed, looking anxious. Their faces were full of helplessness and worry, as if they were trapped beasts in a desperate situation.
When they saw Su Huaiyue and Wei Che come in, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the military doctors, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness.
Su Huaiyue quickly walked to the bedside, gently sat beside the general, and began to take his pulse for diagnosis. Her fingers rested on the general's wrist, feeling the weak pulse. Her expression was focused, her brows furrowed, as if she was deciphering a complex puzzle.
Wei Che was stopped by the military doctor. After all, in an army, if a general is sick, it is kept secret. You have to know that they are in this frontier area, and the enemy country is eyeing them covetously. Any disturbance can destroy their entire army.
So the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Wei Che did not force it, but just stood outside the tent with a frown on his face, his worries hanging over his heart like a dark cloud.
After Su Huaiyue finished her diagnosis, Li Lianshou hurried over and asked, "Miss Su, how is General Qin's health now?"
A group of martial artists became so sick, which shows how powerful this strain is.
Su Huaiyue frowned, "The situation is not good, we need to find medicine as soon as possible."
"Then can we just look for it according to what Miss Su just said?"
"Rhino horn is also indispensable. It cools the blood and detoxifies, and can eliminate the heat and toxins in the general's body. However, rhino horn is precious and rare. I wonder if the army has any?"
When they heard about rhino horn, Wei Che and the military doctors' expressions changed slightly. This rhino horn is not only expensive, but also increasingly rare due to the scarcity of rhinos.
Seeing this, Su Huaiyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "If there is really no rhino horn, buffalo horn can be used instead. Although the medicinal effect is slightly inferior, it can still be used in an emergency."
At this moment, the young man who had been standing silently by stepped forward and said, "Doctor Li, gentlemen, I will lead the troops to look for him immediately. I ask that you do your best to treat our general."
Upon hearing this, Li Lianshou and several other officials in the tent bowed repeatedly to stop him. "Deputy General Yun, the general is seriously ill, and the army cannot be left without a leader. Please stay. I will send someone else to look for him."
Su Huaiyue then raised his eyes to look at the man who had just spoken. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had already become a deputy general. He was indeed a young and promising man.
However, it was too impulsive.
Yun Yiming's eyes welled up with tears, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, with veins bulging on the backs of his hands. "The general has been so kind to me, and now he is dying. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"
His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of sob, and his anxiety and worry were evident in his words.
Su Huaiyue softly consoled him, "Deputy General Yun, I understand how you feel, but what Military Doctor Li said is absolutely right. The army cannot be without a leader for a single day. Don't worry, we will do our best to treat General Lian."
Her eyes were firm and warm, trying to calm Yun Yiming's excited emotions.
Li Lianshou also advised, "Deputy General Yun, you stay here to stabilize the troops' morale, and leave the search for the medicine to the others. We will find a rhinoceros horn or a buffalo horn as soon as possible. Miss Su is a skilled doctor, and as long as the herbs are in place, the general will be able to recover."
Yun Yiming took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and nodded slowly: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you all. If you need anything, just let me know."
His eyes were still full of worry, but he also had a little more trust in Su Huaiyue and everyone else.
Su Huaiyue then gave General Lian acupuncture on his body and head. After a few needles, General Lian suddenly vomited a pool of black blood.
It's just a plague, how could it be like this...
Su Huaiyue looked at Li Lianshou and said, "I just took General Lian's pulse and found nothing wrong with his health. I wonder if he has been poisoned?"
Li Lianshou quickly dismissed his attendants. "To be honest with you, Miss Su, it is indeed the case. Otherwise, the general wouldn't be so weak. However, we cannot let anyone know that the general has been poisoned. Otherwise..."
"I understand." Su Huaiyue looked around, "Why can't I see Wei Che?"
As soon as she came in, she rushed to General Lian. The situation was urgent, so she didn't notice where Wei Che was.
Li Lianshou looked embarrassed. "Miss, this is a military camp. The fewer people who know about the general's health condition, the better. Moreover, I heard that the Wei family is a family of criminals and is on the road to exile. Who knows..."
"Doctor Li, I'm also a member of the Wei family. Why aren't you on guard against me?" Su Huaiyue said seriously. "Besides, the Wei family's loyalty is known to all, but they were framed by villains and fell into this state. It seems Doctor Li's information isn't very accurate."
After hearing what Su Huaiyue said, Li Lianshou looked a little embarrassed.
But at this moment, Su Huaiyue was too lazy to argue with him. "I urgently need a strong man to force the poison out of General Lian's body. Otherwise, the later it is, the more dangerous it will be to his life. So please ask Doctor Li to bring Wei Che in. Sorry for the trouble."
Although Li Lianshou looked hesitant, he looked at Su Huaiyue's determined eyes, and thought that General Lian was in danger, so he could not refuse any longer and had to hurried out of the tent to look for Wei Che.
Soon, Wei Che followed Li Lianshou into the tent quickly.
When he saw General Lian, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his eyes quickly shifted to the blood on General Lian's mouth. Seeing Su Huaiyue's solemn expression, his heart tightened and he hurriedly asked, "General Lian, what happened?"
Su Huaiyue quickly informed Wei Che of General Lian's poisoning, and then said, "Wei Che, you are very strong. I need you to help press the general's acupuncture points and cooperate with me to force the poison out of his body."
Wei Che nodded without hesitation, walked to the bedside, rolled up his sleeves, and followed Su Huaiyue's instructions to firmly press General Lian's acupoints.
His palms were broad and powerful, and each press was full of strength. Fine beads of sweat also seeped out of his forehead, showing his concentration and strength.
