She wouldn't take the Li family with her anymore. That family was rotten to the core. She wasn't a masochist. Escaping with such people would only expose her back to them!
You might get betrayed by them if you're not careful.
"Wanwan..." Old Mrs. Li was extremely dizzy. She had just been frightened by Li Guangzong, and now her face was terribly pale.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Zhen Wanwan noticed that her mother's complexion was off, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Hansong, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.
Grandma Li nervously grasped Zhen Wanwan's hand, looking at Xiao Hansong's face with some fear.
"this……"
Zhen Wanwan comforted her, saying, "This sir just saved me..."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Li nodded and thanked him gratefully.
Zhen Wanwan accidentally noticed blood seeping from the back of her mother's head and guessed that her mother must have accidentally pulled it.
She said somewhat reproachfully, "Mother, you should just rest properly, why do you have to keep moving around like this!"
Erni snuggled back into Zhen Wanwan's arms, timidly tugging at Zhen Wanwan's sleeve, and defended her grandmother, saying, "Just now, my uncle wanted to hit my aunt, and Grandma got so anxious that she accidentally fell."
Sigh! Mothers are strong; most mothers would do this for their children.
Zhen Wanwan felt sorry for her mother and wanted to change her medicine, but she also didn't want to neglect Xiao Hansong.
"Sir, my father and brother have gone hunting in the mountains. I'll have them thank you when they return!"
Xiao Hansong shook his head and refused. He had led his army to Xinyang Prefecture to defeat the Prince of Yang, and he had come to inquire about the situation after seeing the refugees from Xinyang Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, he witnessed Zhen Wanwan's ordeal, which fueled his anger and made him hate Yang Wang, a traitor, to the core!
"You don't need to thank me, just take good care of your mother!"
After he finished speaking, thinking about how Grandma Li was injured, he decided to help her to the end.
He turned to his subordinates and instructed them, "Eleven, return to the camp immediately and bring the general's doctor to treat this old woman's wounds."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhen Wanwan quickly bowed to express her gratitude, not expecting to encounter the officers and soldiers.
Xiao Hansong instructed his subordinates to keep watch over Li Guangzong, and then he saw Li Guangzong turn around and leave towards the nearby villagers' resting place.
She breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still a little nervous facing an ancient military leader who looked so much like Zhang Fei.
"Mom, let me help you remove the gauze."
Zhen Wanwan skillfully removed the cloth, cleaned the wound, and applied the medicine.
Fifteen minutes passed without us even realizing it.
The soldier named Eleven had already arrived at full speed with a military doctor, just in time for Zhen Wanwan to help Old Lady Li bandage her wound.
The soldier clearly knew why he was there, and as soon as he dismounted, he headed towards Zhen Wanwan, since she was the only injured person there.
Judging from his steady gait, he truly deserves to be called the battlefield's personal physician.
"Thank you for your help, doctor," Zhen Wanwan said politely.
The military doctor responded with an "uh-huh," then stepped forward to examine the wound closely, and was utterly astonished!
The wound was stitched up in a way that resembled a centipede, twisted and contorted, but it was treated very well; there was no infection or inflammation.
The military doctor asked Zhen Wanwan curiously, "Who treated this injury?"
Zhen Wanwan couldn't sit still any longer. Could there be something wrong with the wound she was treating?
She answered somewhat guiltily, "It is indeed I, a commoner."
“But is there anything I did wrong?” Zhen Wanwan asked in return.
The military doctor shook his head solemnly, his eyes shining as he continued to ask, "May I ask what the lady used to stitch up this wound?"
Hearing that Grandma Li was alright, Zhen Wanwan was relieved and casually replied, "I used an embroidery needle and thread to sew the wound together! The stitches can be removed after the wound heals."
The medic was shocked for a few seconds, then nodded in sudden realization, muttering to himself, "I see, I see!"
Why is this military doctor so strange? Could it be that the technique of suturing wounds hasn't spread in this time and space yet?
It has to be said that Zhen Wanwan was right.
The military doctor looked at Zhen Wanwan with burning eyes, tears welling up in them, and cried out, "So kind! So kind!"
"Eleven, go and summon the general!"
The soldier called Eleven was also very excited and immediately went to find his general.
"Madam, may I have my eyes examined for your needlework?" The military doctor looked at her with keen eyes.
Zhen Wanwan got goosebumps all over; that look was too creepy!
Luckily, she was an unmarried woman, otherwise she would definitely have misunderstood that the military doctor liked her!
She wasn't stingy either, and took out the surgical bag she had used to suture Old Lady Li from her own medicine box.
"These are the needles and thread I used to sew up my mother's wounds."
From the moment Zhen Wanwan took it out, the military doctor stared at it without blinking.
The military doctor carefully opened the bag, slowly picked up the needle, and looked at the needle, which was much thinner than the embroidery needles used by ordinary people. He was so moved that he shed tears.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Grandma Li and Erni were both frightened by the military doctor, and Zhen Wanwan quickly comforted them.
Soon, Xiao Hansong returned with long strides and a gloomy face.
"General! General! Look what this is!" The military doctor proudly showed him the embroidery needle.
Xiao Hansong looked at it again and again, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Medical officer, what do you mean by this?"
The military doctor disregarded all etiquette and grabbed Xiao Hansong's sleeve to look at Old Lady Li's head.
"The old woman's head wound was stitched up with this embroidery needle!"
Hiss~
Xiao Hansong wasn't stupid either; after so many years of military campaigns, he had seen countless things.
He quickly realized the importance of this matter.
"Excellent! You've done a great service, medic!" Xiao Hansong patted the medic on the shoulder excitedly and praised him generously.
The military doctor smiled broadly, his eyes almost disappearing from his grin, showing none of the aloofness he had displayed when they first met.
"This is the lady's achievement!"
"How could a military doctor dare to take credit?" He pointed to Zhen Wanwan and explained to his general.
Xiao Hansong never expected that the woman he had saved unintentionally would give him such a big surprise!
"Madam couldn't bear to let me punish that brat just now; it turns out she has the heart of a bodhisattva," Xiao Hansong sighed, realizing he was truly inferior to the peasant woman.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan gave an awkward smile. It wasn't that she didn't want to punish Li Guangzong; she just hadn't had a chance to say it!
"Madam, to be honest, we have been fighting for many years, and it is common for our soldiers to be injured."
"Sigh," he sighed and continued.
"Many of our seriously wounded soldiers died in their tents because their wounds could not be stitched up."
"What soldier doesn't want to protect his country and die gloriously on the battlefield? If he dies from his wounds, China will lose a great general and his parents will lose a fine son."
Xiao Hansong sadly recounted the darkness of the battlefield, how a dignified general bowed down to Zhen Wanwan, a village woman with no background or education!
“I humbly request that you grant us this gift, Madam. I will repay you in the future when I defeat the rebels.”
