Chapter 94 Busy until late at night

Inside the tent, wounded people were lying on the ground, screaming incessantly. From time to time, villagers would bring in the wounded on stretchers.

Shen Yuexi looked at the soldiers wounded by swords and knives. Some were seriously injured, but there was only one doctor in the tent, and there was no time to treat them. Some were abruptly delayed. She only then regretted not studying medicine so that she could help these people.

She thought about the first aid and self-rescue knowledge she had learned through technology in her previous life.

She only knew some theories about trauma management, but had no experience with it. However, reality didn't allow her to dwell on it. She turned to Xiao Zhuo beside her and said, "Maybe I can help a little."

It’s better than just watching.

Shen Yuexi's black eyes were as bright as stars. Xiao Zhuo didn't look away for a long time. After a while, he said softly, "Okay."

His voice was low and hoarse, and he seemed a little unhappy.

Shen Yuexi smiled up at him. Although the corners of her mouth couldn't be seen curled up, her eyes, as bright as stars, were so piercing that it was hard to look away.

Xiao Zhuo raised his hand and wiped her forehead, which was the dust that had accumulated when she was looking at the iron ore in the grass just now.

"If you need anything, just go to the doctor. If you can't solve it, come to me."

"My Lord!"

At this time, a bearded man in his forties or fifties with his sleeves rolled up ran over, his face full of anxiety. "We've run out of medicine, and there are still many injured people who haven't been treated. What should we do?"

Doctors are afraid that the disease can be cured, but there is not enough medicine to support it, and they can only watch a person who can be saved slowly leave in front of their eyes.

Shen Yuexi said, "Doctor, I have some medicine for treating external injuries. How about giving it to the soldiers first?"

She took down the bag of medicine and showed it to the doctor.

When the military doctor heard about the medicine, he hurried over to look at the powder inside Shen Yuexi's bag. He first pinched a handful and tasted it, his brow furrowed.

He couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was. Time was running out, so he asked Shen Yuexi:

"What kind of medicine is this? What does it do?"

Shen Yuexi smiled and said, "This medicine can prevent the wound from getting worse. I've tried it and it works fine."

She was fooling around in front of Xiao Zhuo without even taking a breath.

She had never experimented with it before, she only knew that this thing was an incredible existence in this world.

From now on, some of the diseases in this world that are considered common in later generations will be solved.

According to the history she knew, after the emergence of antibiotics, some advanced countries even regarded them as national treasures. They had saved countless soldiers' lives on the battlefield.

She was not lying about the efficacy of the medicine, she just hadn't tested it.

She glanced at Xiao Zhuo secretly, and seeing that he didn't expose her, she secretly gave him a shrewd look.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo lowered his head and laughed softly.

The military doctor didn't know why Xiao Zhuo was laughing, but his attention was always on Shen Yuexi's medicine powder. After hearing Shen Yuexi say that it had been tried on others, he no longer hesitated and took the bag and ran to a wounded soldier.

Medicines were scarce, so whatever was available had to be used immediately. Some minor injuries were treated with wood ash provided by the village head, which did have some effect.

With Shen Yuexi's antibiotics, the doctors were able to diagnose and treat patients much faster. Shen Yuexi also knew how to apply simple bandages and medications, so she could bandage and apply medications to all soldiers with minor wounds.

The soldiers all knew Shen Yuexi, and were extremely surprised to see the lord's wife personally applying medicine and bandaging them.

This was unprecedented. What was the status of the lord's wife? If the lord was still the crown prince, then Shen Yuexi was the crown princess. The crown princess personally bandaged an ordinary soldier. This was simply unimaginable in the ancient times with its strict hierarchy.

Some people who were originally crying out in pain were too embarrassed to speak out. No matter how painful the wound was, they forced themselves to endure it.

Xiao Zhuo stood beside her, his hands behind his back, watching her busy, his eyes a little dim.

At this time, a soldier ran in and said something to Xiao Zhuo. Before leaving, he looked at Shen Yuexi again and then left the tent.

Only the doctor and Shen Yuexi were busy in the tent.

Some women from Xiaogang Village had volunteered to treat the injured, but they were politely dismissed by the military doctors. They weren't enough to cause trouble, so only Shen Yuexi could truly help.

While changing the dressing, Shen Yuexi glanced at the military doctor and saw that he had very few anti-inflammatory drugs on hand. Many minor injuries were simply bandaged with clean cloth.

It seems that maintaining an army really requires money.

The medicines used to treat the wounded alone would cost a considerable amount of silver, not to mention the food, clothing, and shelter for the army. She had originally thought that she could immediately sell the antibiotics for silver, but now it seemed that this was no longer possible.

Previously, she had sold her garlic extract capsules to Shopkeeper Lin in Dongji Town, and Yang Cong had exchanged all the money for food and shipped it here, barely enough to feed everyone.

It seems that if she and Xiao Zhuo want to gain a foothold here, they will need money.

Garlic capsules alone weren't enough. She needed to go around during the day and have the universal manufacturing machine produce more antibiotics.

Shen Yuexi was busy in the tent and drank some water when she was tired.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, she looked at the night sky outside the tent and only then realized that she had been busy taking care of the wounded until late at night.

She wasn't a doctor herself, so everything was slow, but she was happy to see that everyone was being well taken care of. This way, everyone would gradually recover.

The military doctor bowed to Shen Yuexi and said, "Madam, I have never met a woman like you before. You are truly admirable. The injured here have been taken care of. Please go back and rest."

The injured lying down, regardless of the severity of their injuries, expressed their gratitude and urged Shen Yuexi to go back and rest.

Seeing that everyone had been treated, Shen Yuexi felt relieved and washed his hands. As he stepped out of the tent, he saw a white figure standing with its back to her against the starry sky. Hearing the noise, he turned around.

"You won't be waiting for me here, will you?" Shen Yuexi rubbed her tired eyes, with a look of surprise on her face, and went up to hold Xiao Zhuo's hand.

She thought Xiao Zhuo had already gone home to rest, but she didn't expect that he was still standing outside so late.

Xiao Zhuo said, "No, I just finished dealing with things on the battlefield with the generals, and came to see how you are doing."

For some reason, Shen Yuexi felt warm in her heart at this moment.

Xiao Zhuo was lying. Both his hands and clothes were cold, obviously he had been standing outside for a long time.

"Let's go," Xiao Zhuo took her hand, "I have prepared hot water at home. When you get home later, take a good bath before going to bed."

Shen Yuexi asked as they walked: "What about you?"

You don't have to continue dealing with military affairs, do you?

Xiao Zhuo chuckled: "After you take a shower, I will sleep with you for a while."

There was nothing wrong with these words, but Shen Yuexi somehow heard something different from Xiao Zhuo's words.
