Qian Duoduo, a renowned physician from the 21st century, has transmigrated into a new life!
Her mother was an unfavored concubine in the cold palace who died during childbirth. Shortly after ...
Yun Duoduo was a little annoyed. She wasn't a conservative person, and she had worn off-the-shoulder dresses quite often in her previous life. However, she was genuinely a little shy the moment Jin Jinzhi got close to her.
After all, she had never been this close to a handsome man in modern times. Of course, in her previous life, she had never seen such a dashing young man with eyes that seemed to hold the stars.
"Cough cough."
Yun Duoduo, seemingly making conversation for the sake of it, asked, "Brother Jinzhi, is there anything here that Duoduo can do for you?"
Because of her, Yun Duoduo felt uneasy and guilty for causing so much trouble for everyone. She hoped that she could do her part and help in some way.
But when she thought about the military camp in the northern border region, it seemed like there wasn't much that a young girl like her could do.
"Well, now that you mention it, there is indeed something like that."
Jin Jinzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Duoduo, the criminal slaves who were exiled from the capital to the northern frontier have arrived in the northern frontier today."
"Several people were seriously injured on the road. Could you please treat them, Duoduo?"
Jin Jinzhi had just returned to the main tent when he heard from his subordinates that some of the disgraced officials were already unable to withstand the harsh environment.
There were also some traitors who had colluded with the enemy and were being tortured to the point of near death, yet their interrogators had not yet obtained crucial information.
The medical officers who were originally stationed in the northern border had either fled or died because of Yun Mohan, and it was difficult to find a doctor for the time being.
"Great!" Her eyes lit up with excitement when she heard that she could be of help.
She's an expert at treating patients and healing injuries.
"Shall we go now?" Yun Duoduo grabbed the hooded cloak from the low couch and stood up.
Jin Jinzhi looked at her amusedly, "Let's go."
"Oh, right, I'll go check out the old medic's tent and bring the medicine box with me."
Jin Jin nodded, and Yun Duoduo found a guard to take her to the tent where the former military doctor used to live.
Once inside the tent, Yun Duoduo took advantage of the guard's inattention to reach under the bed and find her magical medicine box. She slung the small medicine box over her shoulder, left the tent, and followed behind Jin Jinzhi.
After passing through the kitchen, the two arrived at the prison where serious offenders were held.
Upon seeing Jin Jinzhi, the guards at the gate nodded slightly and pushed open the two heavy iron doors. Yun Duoduo followed Jin Jinzhi inside.
The prison was dark and gloomy, with only a few candles illuminating the way.
Walking down the dimly lit and chilly corridor, Yun Duoduo felt a chill run down her spine. In her mind, she imagined these hardened criminals as either blue-faced and fanged, or at least fierce and menacing, each one a big, unapproachable figure.
But when she walked into the prison and saw the prisoners wearing handcuffs and shackles, she was confused.
Some of these prisoners were very young, thin, and had a dazed look in their eyes.
Some were in their prime, with dark skin and faces covered in scars, while others, with gray hair, were curled up sleeping on straw mats.
"Brother Jinzhi, what crimes did these prisoners commit?"
Yun Duoduo tugged at Jin Jinzhi's clothes and asked curiously, "These people don't look hateful at all. Apart from the burly man with a face full of scars, the others look more like the neighborhood kids and old men you might have met at the market. They don't seem to be aggressive at all."
"Them? They've been arson, murder, looting, kidnapping children, betraying their country and their generals, and some are even spies from enemy countries," Jin Jinzhi said, looking around.
Wow, there are so many professions! Is this promoting re-employment?
Yun Duoduo couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; she never imagined that these people would have such identities.
Jin Jinzhi stopped in her tracks. "Duoduo, these are all family members of officials who have committed crimes. Some of them are young and frail, and their health has deteriorated from walking all this way."
Jin Jinzhi pointed to the boy and girl lying on the straw mat.
"Let's treat them first; these few are too ill."
When Yun Duoduo approached, she saw a teenage girl lying on the straw mat. She was curled up and looked extremely painful. Her feet were chained and were covered in blood and gore. Her body was also blackened, as if she had been poisoned.
"It looks like he was bitten by a poisonous scorpion," Jin Jinzhi said.
"Yes, if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake here, she would probably be dead by now."
Yun Duoduo carefully cleaned the girl's wounds. The girl seemed to be awakened by the pain and suddenly opened her eyes wide to look at Yun Duoduo.
"Don't be afraid, I'm healing your wounds," Yun Duoduo gently comforted her, but the girl seemed quite frightened.
While Jin Jinzhi wasn't paying attention, she injected the girl with an anesthetic, hoping to alleviate her pain.
After cleaning the wound, she began to apply medicine and bandage the girl.
A moment later, after the wounds were treated, Military Advisor Cao rushed in.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I've gone to look for a doctor, but I can't find a single living doctor within dozens of miles!"
Cao Canjun walked up to the two men, shouting and yelling. He pulled down his hood, took off his cloak, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh, you've opened your eyes?!"
When Cao Canjun saw that the people who were about to die had opened their eyes, he exclaimed in surprise, "A miracle worker! Princess, you are too ruthless!"
"As expected of a princess, it has to be you."
Military Advisor Cao looked at Yun Duoduo with admiration, "I've heard about the princess's deeds in the palace for a long time. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I see that it's all true!"
Yun Duoduo instructed, "They are very weak. Give them some comfortable bedding. The hay here is too damp and the ground is cold. They can easily get sick."
"Yes, I'll go do it right away." Cao, the military advisor, told a few people to go find some hay.
After treating the families of several disgraced officials and feeding medicine to several elderly people, Yun Duoduo finally came out carrying her medicine box, rubbing her sore shoulders and neck.
...
After leaving prison, Yun Duoduo seemed lost in thought.
There are quite a few sick people in this prison.
[While we were being abducted, looking out from behind the carriage curtain, I saw a blacksmith's shop, a tailor's shop, and a restaurant, but I didn't see a pharmacy or a clinic.]
Jin Jinzhi watched her silently and blankly walking down the steps, and asked curiously, "Duoduo, what are you thinking about?"
"Brother Jinzhi, we haven't seen a clinic along the way. What if the people here get sick?" Yun Duoduo frowned, looking very worried.
"Moreover, according to Military Advisor Cao, there are no doctors within dozens of miles around here."
"Could we build a small wooden house?" Yun Duoduo looked up at Jin Jinzhi.
"Does Duoduo want to build a clinic?"
Yun Duoduo nodded.
She couldn't stay in the Northern Frontier forever. Before leaving, if she could leave behind a clinic and cultivate a few more, it would be a way to help the people there.
