Chapter 94: Not dead now, but alive tonight
In an instant, three pairs of childish eyes all stared at Wei Fengyan eagerly.
One pair looked like lively and fierce puppies, one pair was bright and full of expectations, and the other pair was the youngest and clearest, which was also the most difficult for Wei Fengyan to refuse.
“…”
He was choked for some reason. Wei Fengyan found it funny, but his expression was still serious. "If you join the army as a doctor, you have to obey military orders, endure hardships, see corpses, and maybe even go to the battlefield. This is no joke. Xingxing, are you sure you have made up your mind?"
As soon as the words fell, the two pairs of eyes looking at him turned their heads to look at the stars.
But it was different from looking at Wei Fengyan, at this moment the two children looked at Xing Xing with eyes, one with joy and concern, the other with trust and respect.
But the youngest cub has to make the most important decision at this time.
"Yes." The child, who had grown taller, nodded seriously. "I will stay and become a military doctor. It will be very useful to me."
The eight-year-old Xingxing stood in front of his family and companions. His still frail body seemed unable to withstand the sudden wind blowing through the yellow sand at the frontier. But the three people present knew: No, he could hold on, and could even provide a roof over his head for many wounded soldiers and their families.
At the age of seven, he was able to come up with a prescription for treating a serious epidemic. How much had he grown at the age of eight?
The title of "little miracle doctor" is not just a verbal honorific.
Therefore, as long as Xingxing nodded, even Wei Fengyan, the commander-in-chief of an army, could not open his mouth to refuse.
He even had to be grateful for Xingxing's firm choice at this moment.
So there was no doubt that Xingxing stayed, and he did not ask for any special treatment. Instead, he went to the wounded soldiers' camp with Chunxing to stay that day.
Faced with those who questioned, were dissatisfied, and even thought the general was crazy, Chun Xing opened the bag she was carrying, found boiling hot water in the kitchen, and began to methodically wash the various medical instruments she had brought with her.
Xingxing simply blocked out all the voices in her ears, and then, with the company of Qiuqiu and her brother, she familiarized herself with the remaining medicines and military doctors in the army.
The military doctor who was accompanying the army originally thought that the general must be crazy or stupid to send a greenhorn to be a doctor in the military camp. However, after seeing the clear priorities between Chun Xing and Xing Xing, and paying close attention to the tools Chun Xing brought with her, when he looked at Xing Xing again, his eyes became much more cautious.
He cleared his throat, ready to test the little fellow, wondering in his heart whether this child might be the heir of some famous medical family, so that he had the ability to come to the military camp for training at such a young age.
As a result, he had just cleared his throat and hadn't spoken yet, when the fifth lieutenant next to him protected the child like an old hen protecting her calves, staring at him intently, "Uncle Wang, my brother is only eight years old, and you are already forty-eight, don't bully him!"
Doctor Wang: “……?”
I haven't even said a word, but you've already imagined the scene of your brother being bullied? ? ?
Also, you little brat know how to hurt someone's heart!!!
Doctor Wang snorted and said unhappily, "I am not a reckless man like you, Fifth Lieutenant. I can't agree with you. This is a wounded soldier camp. You healthy bastards, get out of here right now!!"
How could people who have been in the military camp for decades have a good temper? They are all veteran soldiers. At this time, they looked at Xiaowu with a disgusting look.
Got kicked out.
Xiao Wu did not argue with Doctor Wang. He turned around, touched his brother's head, and told him: "Don't be afraid, Xingxing. If anyone bullies you, just tell your brother. Your brother is very strong now. I can break someone's nose with one punch!"
Doctor Wang, who heard everything clearly, said: “……!”
Where is this bastard and who is he??!
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the little guy who looked fair, well-behaved and sensible nodded without hesitation!
Nod! Yes!
Not only did the little guy nod, he also agreed in a childish voice: "Well, brother, pay attention to your energy. I can help you pick up the line after the interruption, for free."
When Doctor Wang heard these words, he almost got his nose crooked with anger.
These two little bastards! Can they talk? Can they respect the elderly?!
He suspected that the older one was a reckless man who only knew how to fight, and the younger one was a fox cub with bad intentions!
He even suspected that this kid wanted to piss him off to death so that he could monopolize the military doctor's salary!
"Be good, I'm going to go train now. You get familiar with it here first. I'll come and have dinner with you in the evening."
Xiaowu, who had been promoted from a private to a captain due to his military merits, now had his own subordinates. Looking at Xingxing and Chunxing, one was weak and the other was a woman, he was afraid that they would be bullied by some soldiers in the wounded camp who were tortured by injuries and became irritable, so he specially left two guards for Xingxing to accompany him.
Doctor Wang, who was ignored the entire time, became even angrier.
After the people left, he looked at Xingxing and Chunxing, then at the soldiers guarding outside, and asked angrily with a sullen face, "Boy, you really didn't come in through the back door?"
Xingxing was sniffing the herbs on the medicine shelf to distinguish their age and quality. Hearing this, she shook her head and replied with a smile: "Uncle, do you suspect that the general is a bad guy who doesn't care about the lives of the wounded soldiers?"
Doctor Wang choked: "..."
Humph, you little fox with all the bad intentions!
He wanted to see what this little guy was capable of that could make the general give in so easily!
Chun Xing watched the brief confrontation between the old man and the young, smiled, lowered her head to wipe the utensils in her hands and put them away, then blended into this small medical room filled with the smell of medicine very naturally.
In the afternoon, Xingxing took Chunxing to the nearby wounded soldiers' camp.
The smell here is much more unpleasant and complicated than the one in the prescription.
Moreover, the environment was not good either. Soldiers were placed in different tents according to the severity of their injuries. Although it was spring, the border was still bitterly cold. Perhaps it was for warmth, or perhaps it was because of limited space, so the wounded soldiers in the tents were crowded together. When the tent curtains were opened, wounded soldiers were everywhere.
Xingxing paused at the door, then walked in with Chunxing amidst the suspicious gazes of a group of people.
Behind him followed two elite soldiers left behind by his brother.
Now is a temporary truce period, so most of the soldiers in the infirmary are the wounded left over from the previous war. In other words, they have basically been treated once, and they are lucky to have survived. Now they are recuperating in the infirmary, and they will go somewhere else after they recover.
Xingxing didn't care about all this. He and Chunxing just checked the specific injuries of the soldiers in the tent and then left.
He came suddenly and left suddenly.
This made the wounded soldiers look at each other in bewilderment, and they couldn't help but discuss whether these two kids were capable or just playing house.
But when night came, they saw the two children again.
The two elite soldiers who followed in were carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"Take it apart for him first." Xingxing raised his hand and pointed accurately at one of the soldiers.
Chun Xing nodded, took out a pair of special scissors, picked out the things she needed from the guard, and walked towards the other party.
The soldier who was pointed at was stunned for a moment, then covered his chest with his hands, and said cautiously like a good woman being forced: "What are you going to do?!"
Chun Xing put down the wooden tray with the things on it and explained briefly: "I need to change your medicine. The scissors are sharp, so don't move them."
The cold blade frightened everyone who saw it. The soldier hid behind his comrade and shouted, "Wait, wait a minute? Where's Doctor Wang? He just changed the dressing on my wound this morning. Shouldn't he change the new dressing tomorrow? You two kids, stop messing around. Let him come first!"
Not only was he panicking, the other wounded soldiers were also panicking. Upon hearing what was said, they all hurriedly agreed and insisted that Doctor Wang come before they would let Chun Xing take action.
Chun Xing turned her head and looked at the stars.
Xingxing stared at the wounded soldiers for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay."
Before the wounded soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, the tent was opened again.
Doctor Wang, who had been hiding outside, walked in with his head held high.
His face, which was relatively fair compared to those soldiers, twitched for a moment, and he finally closed his eyes. Under the expectant gazes of the wounded soldiers, his face turned red as he explained for Xingxing: "You, the medicine you have on you... is not as effective as the new medicine prepared by the young military doctor, so you should change it as soon as possible, so that your wounds can heal faster and you will suffer less."
At this moment, the entire tent was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the whistling wind outside.
Chun Xing took advantage of the wounded soldiers' daze, lowered her head with a pair of scissors, and without changing her expression or shaking her hands, she cut open the rough cloth on the soldier's chest cleanly and neatly.
Hearing that voice, all the wounded soldiers in the room couldn't help but tremble. They inexplicably read a bit of cruelty in the young faces of the two children.
It seems, it seems... like he is not easy to mess with.
They are obviously just two little kids whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, but when they really do what they are supposed to do, their aura is completely different.
Although not every patient is afraid of doctors, and even the veteran soldiers in the barracks are most afraid of offending military doctors, after spending too much time with them and getting seriously injured, they will occasionally curse the military doctors for being useless, and some extreme ones may even secretly put a sack on the military doctors and beat them up...
But none of these will happen to Xingxing and Chunxing.
Because on the first day, they were tortured to death by the two children, and finally they all lay half dead.
The process of changing the new dressing is very troublesome. You have to remove the old bandage, clean the wound, apply new ointment, and then bandage it again...
The above is the normal military medical process.
When it came to the two children, they had one more thing to do than the others: sew the wounds.
Not everyone needed stitches. There were only two soldiers in the entire wounded camp whose wounds needed stitches.
But even a normal person would probably have nightmares all night long when he saw his colleague's wounds being wiped clean and then immediately pierced and mended with burned silver needles like sewing clothes.
They were grimacing and gasping for air, but the two children who took action remained calm and composed, and even their hands did not tremble!
After all the soldiers witnessed the "wound mending", they finally reached a unanimous evaluation.
And divided into two versions:
Official high EQ evaluation: neat and tidy, superb medical skills, and has the demeanor of a general at a young age.
Private low EQ complaints: two ruthless guys!
How old is he? Sewing him is like killing a pig!
So the next day after Xingxing became the military doctor, all the soldiers knew that they should not mess with the military doctor in the wounded barracks.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in an army, more than one camp for wounded soldiers, and more than one military doctor, but this is the only place closest to my brother and under his jurisdiction.
It is also the place where my brother will be carried to first after being injured.
From the day he decided to study medicine, Xingxing was prepared for the possibility that he might have to fight for his life with the King of Hell in the future.
But he didn't expect this time to come so quickly and so urgently.
There was no military disaster on the front line that day, it was poisoning.
The one who fell down was not the brother, but the uncle.
When Xingxing saw the old man with a pale face and blood spitting out of his mouth, he stood there in a daze for two seconds before coming back to his senses amid the noise.
He didn't have to ask anything.
The voices that came flooding in told it all.
Assassination, poisoning, emperor, secret decree...
Xingxing was led by her brother to the simple hospital bed.
The room was full of noise, and no matter how brave Chun Xing was, she didn't dare to quiet down the excited generals at this moment.
"Let them all go out." Xingxing clutched the corner of her brother's clothes, just like the day when she was younger and was held by her brother's hand and walked in the snow.
Xiaowu is now like a robot with a rusty brain. He does whatever Xingxing says.
He forcefully and unreasonably drove everyone out, and was punched several times for this, but he didn't care. Instead, with red eyes, he whispered to Xingxing: "...Can it still be saved?"
Most of the time, the general liked to read military books or study how to deal with the enemy alone in his tent. He would not let his subordinates go in and disturb him, so after he was poisoned, he was not discovered immediately.
A lot of time has been wasted.
On the way there, Xiao Wu heard his colleagues sighing secretly and whispering that General Wei might not survive.
They are all people who have fought on the brink of life and death, and they know too well what a person looks like when he is about to die.
Moreover, General Wei had his own military doctor. It was only after the military doctor shook his head and said there was nothing he could do that Xiao Wu insisted on carrying General Wei on his back to find Xingxing.
After he drove the people out, he took out a small bottle from his arms while trembling, which looked very familiar to both brothers, and asked in a low voice if Xingxing could be saved.
What he asked was not whether Xingxing could save people, but whether this bottle of spiritual spring water could revive a dying person.
Xingxing was calmer than him. She reached out to take the small bottle from his hand, unscrewed the bottle, and asked her brother to hold her uncle's head, pry open his tightly closed mouth, and drink the spiritual spring water steadily.
Following...
Bottle after bottle.
Xingxing had never used so much spiritual spring water at one time.
This didn't happen when I saved myself and my brother.
But I have to use it. If I don’t, my uncle will really die.
Because the poison in my uncle's body was too deep and too severe, and was constantly destroying his remaining vitality. If the spiritual spring water was not used to keep his dying breath hanging, even a great immortal would not be able to save him.
After the uncle's breathing became a little more stable, Xingxing continued to pry open his mouth and fed him three more bottles of milk.
Xiao Wu: “…”
At first he was shaking with panic, but now, watching his brother drinking one bottle after another, he felt like his brain was a little numb, as if it couldn't function properly.
This water...filled the general's belly, making it bulge out.
If the general still couldn't wake up, Xiaowu was afraid that he would be drowned by the magic water in his stomach before he died of the poison.
It shouldn’t be like this, right?
Xiao Wu glanced uncertainly at General Wei's belly, which looked like a five-month pregnant woman, and then quickly withdrew his gaze. He began to hesitate about how to explain to his colleagues that the general was poisoned and got pregnant by Xingxing.
As long as you are not dying, then... you should be able to understand it, right?
He was no longer worried about the general's life.
He began to worry that the ruffians might be spreading some other deadly gossip among them.
"Brother, watch uncle. Call me immediately if he makes any movement." Xingxing finally chose to stop in the face of her brother's increasingly frightened gaze.
"Where are you going?" Xiaowu asked stutteringly.
At this moment, he actually felt that his brother was a little scary, because not only was the general's stomach bloated, but even his mouth and jaw were tormented by the stars and it was unbearable to look at.
In order to make it easier to add water, Xingxing took the scissors and cut the beard that General Wei had carefully grown for three years into a prickly stubble in two clicks!!!
Xiaowu was a little afraid to guard it alone, but he was even more afraid to let others guard it. What if the general woke up halfway and was pissed to death by his good nephew, then maybe he could help cover up for his brother?
Before the man was rescued, Xiaowu had already started thinking about the various ways General Wei could have died, and was trying to find excuses and cover-ups for his brother, the "murderer."
Perhaps it was because, after Xingxing's manipulation, Xiaowu no longer worried about General Wei being poisoned, but instead began to worry that he would be killed by the "quack doctor".
Stop imagining things, it’s a sin.
After randomly chanting a few Buddhist mantras as a prayer for General Wei, Xiao Wu relaxed his mind and found that he was shaking all over. He sat there in a daze for a while and finally thought of what he should do now.
But he didn't dare to leave General Wei's side, fearing that the thieves would take advantage of the opportunity to kill him...
Fortunately, Xingxing acted quickly and finished what Xiaowu was supposed to do in just a few words.
Afraid that the army camp would mutiny because the general fainted due to poisoning, Xiaowu's most important thing to do was not only to guard General Wei, but also to calm the soldiers' hearts.
But when this matter came to Xingxing, it became just a short sentence:
"If you're not dead now, you'll live tonight."
Well, with just these few words, the generals' hearts were immediately settled. They finally found their position from the panic and confusion, and knew what they should do most now.
Calm the troops, suppress those voices with ulterior motives, and by the way, check whether there are other thieves hiding under your command.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
There is no time to be impatient. After all, according to the general's personality, if he really wakes up at night and sees that his subordinates are in chaos, he will be beaten with a stick... Even if they are thick-skinned and tough, it will be embarrassing!
No one wanted to be hurt and embarrassed, so they were all like old hens driving their chicks, flapping their wings and flying back to their camp immediately to check all the soldiers under their command from inside to outside.
There were also some shameless ones who grabbed the military doctors with their arms and legs and whispered in his ears, begging him to use the medicine slowly and not let their general wake up too quickly.
It’s not that they don’t feel sorry for the general, it’s just that... the young military doctor is so skilled in medicine that even the King of Hell can’t snatch the general away from him.
There is nothing to worry about. Instead of worrying about the general, you should worry about whether there are spies under your own command who are traitors.
Also, if there really is a mutiny and it's not dealt with before the general wakes up, they'll probably have to go and lie down with the young military doctor.
After everyone had left, Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief and started writing a letter to Wei Jinan.
The emperor has already intended to kill them all, so it's time for them to take action.
