As Shulan lay in bed, she was still fuming, thinking, "Why?"
Mingming had never experienced any lack of coordination when she learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) from her uncle.
Even if you haven't studied shooting, your accuracy shouldn't be this bad, right?
But the truth is, she missed.
I'm so annoyed.
Even in his sleep, he dreams of holding a crossbow.
He Fengmian, who rarely gets to rest at home, looked at the sullen man at breakfast the next day and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shulan can't exactly say that she dreamt she was chasing a rabbit and shooting arrows at it for ages but couldn't hit it, which woke her up in a huff, can she?
Fortunately, without a beard, General He's eyes even seemed sharper.
Judging from her appearance, it was probably still about the crossbow incident from yesterday.
He placed a silver thread roll on her plate and said with great insight, "There is a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own expertise. Doctor Shu's hands are for saving lives. Whether you hit the target or not is not a big problem."
Shulan tilted her head to look at him: "Really?"
"Of course, I don't know how to use your superb silver needles, nor can I learn it."
"Yes, that's right." Shulan was instantly comforted and began to eat her breakfast with satisfaction.
Looking at the person who was so easily comforted, He Fengmian thought to himself that he was too easy to persuade.
However, seeing that she wasn't bothered or angry about what happened last night, I was relieved.
After the two finished their meal, the sandstorm had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly in the early morning, making it a beautiful sunny day.
This is the characteristic of the border town: it is constantly being washed by sandstorms, but afterwards, the sun shines brightly again.
After taking her to the clinic, He Fengmian returned to his military camp. On the way, he could still hear various rumors about Cao Yaozong.
Thinking of the way that little woman craned her neck to watch the show, I couldn't help but chuckle. I wonder if she would choose to help when she heard the bad news about Madam Cao.
I think they'll save him.
"master."
The sound of the eighth day of the lunar month interrupted He Fengmian's thoughts.
Chu Ba was waiting for him, leading Jing Feng.
He Fengmian nodded, and after getting into Jingfeng, he said, "Tell Chu Er and Shi Mo to make sure they protect Xie Shulan."
"Yes, Master."
With a horse's neigh, Jingfeng, carrying its master, galloped towards the military camp.
After arriving at the clinic, Shulan began to see patients and eat melons.
After all, the biggest gossip lately is the Cao family's affair.
The vast majority of people are, in essence, fond of gossip.
Whether their intentions were good or bad, they spoke with great enthusiasm.
Each version has its own twist, from how the two brothers competed for the talented Huang family daughter to the fact that Aunt Die was actually a fox spirit who intended to cause trouble in the Cao household, but unexpectedly, Madam Cao had the help of a master who subdued her, making it quite a fascinating story.
By the third day, when Cao Yaozong was buried, there were probably dozens of versions of the story.
On the night following Cao Yaozong's burial, Shulan, after visiting the last patient, was packing her things to return home with everyone.
A carriage rushed toward the entrance of the clinic, and a man in his thirties jumped out. He knelt down and kowtowed to the clinic as soon as he entered.
Her voice was breathless and urgent: "Doctor, please save Wanshu, please save Wanshu."
He was covered in sweat, and his voice was panicked and hoarse; he was clearly frantic and at his wit's end.
Just as Shulan was about to ask who Wanshu was, Uncle Rong whispered, "This is the second young master of the Cao family."
Oh, Cao Yaozu.
So, that Wan Shu is Madam Cao?
He said to Uncle Rong and the others, "You go back to the manor first, I'll be back later."
They knew the urgency of the situation and nodded, "Please be careful, young mistress."
"Junior Uncle, I'll go with you." Huang Qi and Tian Dong had already taken their medical kits.
And Shimo went along with them.
The group boarded the carriage, and Shulan asked, "What's going on?"
Cao Yaozu said in a hoarse voice, "Wan Shu, she, she took poison. She was fine this morning, and she talked to me a lot. But just now, her maid Qiu Yue discovered that Wan Shu had committed suicide by poisoning herself."
Her voice was filled with pain; clearly, the person she had longed for for so many years, the person she thought she could finally be with, had committed suicide.
Shulan knew this would happen, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
He clung to the person in front of him as a lifeline, pleading, "Dr. Shu, please save Wanshu, she's suffering so much."
Shulan did not nod, but calmly said, "I will do my best."
The group arrived at the Cao residence. As they disembarked from the carriage, Shulan instructed Cao Yaozu: "Go and prepare wood ash, salt water, and chopsticks."
In ancient times and even in modern times, there have been methods of using plant ash to induce vomiting and wash the stomach.
There's no time to decoct the medicine now, so this method is the best.
Although he didn't know why he needed to prepare wood ash, he quickly sent someone to fetch it.
Then they followed Cao Yaozu to a separate courtyard.
There was the sound of weeping in the courtyard, and then someone said, "The doctor is here."
Upon entering the room, one sees a young woman lying on the bed with a pale face and purple lips.
It was Madam Cao, who had been standing calmly at the gate of the Cao family home, handling all matters.
Shulan asked, "Do you know what kind of poison they drank?"
Everyone shook their heads: "We don't know what poison the lady drank."
At this moment, a servant trotted over with wood ash, water, and chopsticks.
Cao Yaozu anxiously asked from the side, "Dr. Shu, what should we do?"
"You all go out first, I need to give the lady acupuncture to induce vomiting." After saying that, she took out her silver needles and said, "The lady is deeply poisoned, whether she can be saved depends on her fate."
