Medical doctor Su Wan transmigrated to the Great Jin Dynasty. She initially thought she was in for a typical palace maid/harem drama, but soon she was married off as a bride to bring good luck by h...
The streets were littered with rubble, and soldiers moved about. Many soldiers carried stretchers in pairs, with wounded men lying on them. They hurried into a large courtyard at the end of the street, which was a camp specifically for treating the wounded. The wounded were covered in blood, their armor stained, groaning, and cries of agony echoed through the courtyard.
"Qingfeng, how many of us have been killed or wounded?" Su Wan stopped and turned around to ask.
Lin Qingfeng said, "Mistress, we have suffered several hundred wounded and nearly a hundred dead. The wounded were all hit by enemy arrows. The enemy's casualties are estimated to be two or three thousand."
Su Wan remained silent after hearing this.
In the short time she spoke with Meng Ruliu, thousands of lives were lost or injured on both sides. This might not seem like much to ordinary people, but she was a doctor.
She said to Meng Ruliu, "Sister-in-law, go to the city wall and tell my husband that I will stay in the city to treat the soldiers and will not go up."
Knowing that Su Wan was highly skilled in medicine, Meng Ruliu said, "Since my sworn sister wants to treat the soldiers, I will help her. Although I don't know anything about medicine, I am strong and can help by handing things over or fetching water."
The two entered the wounded's camp. The vast courtyard was filled with hundreds of wounded men lying on stretchers, their cries of pain echoing throughout. Soldiers carrying stretchers crowded the entrance. To enter the courtyard, one had to step over the wounded.
A dozen or so doctors were bustling about among the injured in the courtyard, their movements hurried and sometimes they bumped into each other. In the main hall opposite the gate, a dozen braziers were burning, simmering medicinal soup. The air was thick with the pungent smell of medicine and blood.
The attending physician, covered in sweat, rushed forward to greet Su Wan upon her arrival, saying, "Madam, what brings you here..."
Su Wan said, "I will take charge of the treatment. It's too chaotic here right now. Tell everyone to follow my instructions."
The doctor was overjoyed. Knowing Su Wan's medical skills, he quickly gave instructions to everyone to do as Su Wan requested.
Su Wan first had the doctors mark out an area for the wounded in the courtyard, leaving enough space for stretchers to pass. Then, two doctors were assigned to stand guard at the entrance, specifically to distinguish between seriously wounded soldiers and lightly wounded soldiers.
Seriously injured people were carried directly into the room for intensive treatment by experienced doctors, while those with minor injuries were placed in the courtyard for bandaging and treatment by less experienced doctors.
In this way, the treatment became well-organized and no longer as chaotic as before.
After making the arrangements, she went to the room of the seriously injured, washed her hands, and began to help the doctors treat the arrow wounds.
She was still worried about Su Yuze, but there was nothing she could do about his whereabouts. All she could do was keep herself busy while hoping for her brother's safe return.
