Chapter 947 Veterinarian

Time was of the essence, so Lin Yuesha packed the food she and Qi Heng had bought in Yingcheng into a package, and also packed the old ginseng she had taken from Yuwen Kun.

Just as Lin Yuesha finished packing the package, Zhang Daya and Lu the carpenter returned together.

Zhang Daya was carrying a small package, her face anxious but hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yuesha thought something had happened and asked anxiously.

If the Wei family sends people back to search again and finds any clues, it might implicate Carpenter Lu and Zhang Daya.

“Miss Yunduo, Da Ya’s brother fell off the roof and cut his leg badly.”

Lu the carpenter was worried. When he went to deliver the betrothal gifts, he found that Zhang Daya's brother and sister-in-law were not at home, only her little nephew was guarding the door.

Upon hearing that the two had gone to the city for medical treatment, Lu the carpenter had no choice but to stay at the Zhang family's house and wait patiently.

Just now, Zhang Daya's brother and sister-in-law returned from the city, their faces full of worry.

"Now all the clinics in the city are guarded by special personnel, and the doctors are kept under surveillance and are not allowed to be treated by injured or bleeding people."

Zhang Daya sighed, her older brother couldn't find a doctor or buy any medicine for his injuries.

As for the reason, it is probably related to the two people who were injured last night.

The government officials didn't explain things clearly, but the man was carried to the entrance of the clinic. The doctor watched helplessly, unmoved by their pleas, saying it was an order from above, and that since he was injured at this time, he had no choice but to bear it.

"My sister-in-law had no choice but to bring him back and put some wood ash on the wound to stop the bleeding."

Zhang Daya saw that her older brother's leg wound was too big and had bled a lot. The wound kept opening up, and if he didn't apply medicine, his leg would be useless.

There's only one able-bodied man in the family, and he also has three young nephews to support, so life is tough.

“Miss Yun, I know you are also lacking medicine, but I have no choice but to ask.”

After Zhang Daya finished speaking, she lowered her head, her eyes reddening.

She and her older brother had always had a good relationship. Even after he learned that she wasn't his biological sister, he still treated her the same way.

"Right now, things are tense in the city, and it's impossible to buy any medicine for injuries."

Carpenter Lu sighed and said that he had run all over the village and talked himself hoarse, but he still couldn't get a bottle of medicine for his injuries.

The villagers weren't that precious. If they had a small cut, they would just use wood ash to stop the bleeding. Wound medicine would cost several hundred coins, so nobody would buy that.

"Okay, I have a bottle here, you can take it and use it first."

Lin Yuesha sighed, pondered for a moment, took out a small porcelain bottle from her purse, and handed it to Zhang Daya.

If Lin Yuesha refused Zhang Daya's request, it would be too unreasonable, especially since Zhang Daya had played a crucial role in sending the person away last night.

Giving the medicine to Zhang Daya served as a way to calm her down; Hongtao would still need Zhang Daya's care afterward.

The small bottle of wound medicine that Lin Yuesha had left was far from enough for Hongtao; she needed to find a way to get more medicine.

Especially now, the situation for Hearts is very bad.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, where even typhoid fever could be fatal, the consequences of wound infection were extremely serious.

"Sister Daya, you should send the medicine over first. I have something to trouble you with later."

Lin Yuesha gritted her teeth and made up her mind to ask Zhao Jingya for help. Although it was a bit risky, she couldn't think of any other way.

An hour later, Qi Heng returned on horseback, accompanied by an old man with a white beard.

"Oh dear, how can young people treat old people like this? They don't know the rules and are riding horses so fast they're practically flying into the sky! My old bones are going to be shaken to pieces!"

Upon arrival, Qi Heng pulled the old man off his horse again. He made a vomiting motion and mumbled incessantly.

"I heard that all the doctors in the city are under surveillance. How did you find them?"

Lin Yuesha supported the old man, gently patted his back, and whispered, "Uncle, you've been wronged."

"The little girl's words are so pleasing to the ear, unlike this brat who dragged this old man out of bed without saying a word. What a terrible thing!"

The old man smiled at Lin Yuesha, but when Qi Heng was mentioned, he immediately glared at her coldly.

All the doctors in Yingcheng were under surveillance, but he was not included; he was not considered a doctor.

"Not a doctor?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't understand why Qi Heng had brought along an old man who wasn't a doctor.

"I've spent my whole life treating the wounds of cattle and horses, so I can barely be considered a half-baked doctor."

The old man stroked his beard, looking smug. He was the number one in Yingcheng, and people from surrounding cities even asked him to treat their cattle and horses.

Lin Yuesha was speechless, and Qi Heng found a veterinarian.

Well, let's try anything, there's no better way right now.

"Only Brother Bai and Sister Hongtao are on the island. Sister Hongtao's injuries cannot be delayed. You two go first."

Red Peach is a woman, and it's best if she has a woman to take care of her personally.

Zhang Daya's older brother was injured, so Lu the carpenter stayed behind to lend a hand. Qi Heng and Zhang Daya went to the island, while Lin Yuesha stayed behind.

The most urgent task was to obtain wound medicine, and it had to be some of the best quality. The only person Lin Yuesha could think of was Zhao Jingya.

"My lady, please be careful."

Qi Heng agreed that Zhao Jingya was a good candidate. The Wei family sent people to keep an eye on the defense of Yingcheng, but did not pay special attention to the women in the backyard.

He had inquired and learned that Zhao Jingya was always in business, constantly in the public eye, and would only occasionally come to the fishing village.

"My lady, it would be best if Zhao Jingya agreed. If anything seems amiss, you must stay away from her and not force her."

Qi Heng's group of men has already arrived from Qincheng, including a doctor specializing in external injuries, and they should arrive in two days at the earliest.

White Shadow is alright, but Red Peach is weak and might not be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, just don't forget who I am."

Lin Yuesha smiled bitterly. At crucial moments, the title of Lin Shusheng's daughter was still very useful. Once she was caught, she would pretend to submit.

Based on her understanding of Zhao Jingya, she knew that Zhao Jingya would at most stand by and do nothing.

Moreover, the garrison commander of Yingcheng had once received a favor from Lord Qi and felt a desire to repay that kindness.

Lin Yuesha was not one to take unnecessary risks. After careful consideration, she decided to seek advice from Zhao Jingya, which was the least likely to attract attention.

Without further ado, Lin Yuesha sent Zhang Daya to the Zhao family's villa to deliver a message to the steward. They had some fine pearls and wanted to do business with Zhao Jingya.

After Qi Heng and Zhang Daya boarded the ship with the old doctor, Lin Yuesha immediately went to Zhang Daya's house to wait for news.

As the night passed, Lin Yuesha didn't sleep well and started to overthink.

For breakfast, she casually ate a mouthful of soup noodles, then moved a small stool and sat down in front of Zhang Daya's house.

When the sun was high in the sky, a horse-drawn carriage finally arrived.

A middle-aged man got off the carriage. Lin Yuesha recognized him; he was the manager of the Zhao family's villa in the fishing village.

"Who are you?"

The steward frowned and looked Lin Yuesha up and down, asking, "Is Zhang Daya home?"

What a coincidence! Her young lady came to the fishing village to select seafood. Hearing that Zhang Daya had caught pearls, she was very interested and wanted to invite her to another courtyard to discuss business in person.
