"Hello, hello, hello~~" She shook him many times, but the man on top of her didn't react. Xiao Qianqian was also discouraged. It seemed that he had indeed been poisoned and needed to be detoxified as soon as possible.
She wasn't originally a meddlesome person and didn't want to get involved in other people's disputes, but as a doctor, she had a compassionate heart, and who could blame her for this man meeting her?
"Sigh." She pushed away the heavy load on her body, got up, slung her basket over her shoulder, and prepared to help the man back. She helped him up, but the man had completely lost consciousness and could not walk at all. Looking at such a big man, she was worried.
She thought for a moment, then moved the basket she was carrying on her back to the front, and then carried the man on her back. Xiao Qianqian took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to carry the man on her back.
She staggered forward, struggling to walk.
Along the way, she kept adjusting her posture to reduce the pressure of the man's weight on her. However, the unconscious man's entire weight was on her, making it increasingly difficult for her to walk. She began to sweat profusely and her breathing became heavier and heavier.
When they reached the side of a path, there was a large rock there. Xiao Qianqian stopped. She really couldn't walk anymore. The man was too heavy and was about to crush her. She roughly put the man on the rock.
She muttered to herself, "Why are you so heavy? I really want to throw you away. You're lucky to have met me. If it weren't for me, you might have become food for tigers and wolves tonight. Look at your strong muscles, you could feed a lot of wolves."
As she spoke, she sat down on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and even picked a large leaf from the tree next to her to use as a fan. She was exhausted. Thinking about it, she glared at the man again. As a result, the moonlight shone down from her spot, and she could see the man's face clearly. And to her surprise, although the man's face was pale, it was still quite handsome.
His features were superb, lean and well-proportioned, with a high nose bridge and a height of over 1.8 meters. He had the physique of a model. I wonder what this man did before, that he would be hunted down.
Xiao Qianqian rested for about half an hour. She felt she had rested enough, so she clapped her hands, stood up, and started carrying the man on her back again. They weren't far from her master's house, and she planned to walk back in one go.
She walked a little faster this time, but the man on her back was really heavy, making her pant heavily.
Finally, in the darkness of night, she saw the wooden house, a two-story building that appeared hazy in the night. The house was surrounded by various medicinal herbs, which gave off a strong fragrance.
The old man was still awake, probably having just finished his experiment. He was sitting leisurely at the stone table, on which sat a cup of steaming cloud tea.
Hearing the sound of the gate being pushed open, he looked up and saw his little apprentice carrying someone in. Her back was bent low, she was covered in sweat, and her steps were unsteady.
"Old man, what are you looking at? Why don't you come over and lend a hand? You're almost killing me with exhaustion."
Xiao Qianqian was furious when she saw her master sitting there calmly, not showing any intention of moving.
"Why should I lend a hand? What did you pick up? I didn't even mention the wolf cubs and bear cubs you picked up before, but now you've picked up a human."
"Never mind that for now, let's save him." Xiao Qianqian laboriously placed the man on the bamboo couch beside her, then quickly opened her backpack and took out a set of silver needles.
She skillfully inserted silver needles into the man's acupoints, and with the stimulation of the needles, the man's body trembled slightly.
The master watched from the side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Before long, the man's breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion improved.
Xiao Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
"What exactly happened? How did you end up bringing back someone who was poisoned?" the master asked sternly.
Xiao Qianqian then told her master what had happened. She didn't want to meddle, but she couldn't bear to, so she brought him back here.
"Master, this person is not only poisoned, but also shot. Those people were trying to kill him, and the bullets they fired were all poisoned, which is why he is unconscious. Now we need to remove the bullets and detoxify him, otherwise he won't be saved tomorrow. I heard those people say that if it's tomorrow, even a great god couldn't save him. Master, please, please save him quickly!" After saying that, she tugged at her master's sleeve and shook it, pleading with him.
"You always love to meddle in other people's business. If those people find out about us, we'll be in trouble. We don't even know who that person is, or how dangerous they are."
“Master, you taught me to have a compassionate heart as a doctor since I was a child, and haven’t I done that now?” Xiao Qianqian retorted.
"All you do is talk back to your master. Fine, fine. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Move him to the operating room; I'll go disinfect him first."
"Okay."
Xiao Qianqian and her master lifted the man onto the operating table.
"You'll be my assistant."
"good."
The two had already put on sterilized surgical gowns.
The master put on gloves, picked up a scalpel, and carefully cut open the man's wound. The wound was blackened by poison. Xiao Qianqian handed him tools and observed the man's vital signs.
The master operated skillfully, quickly locating the bullet and removing it. He then used silver needles to seal acupoints, controlling the spread of the poison.
Then, the master and apprentice worked together seamlessly to clean the man's wounds, apply medicine, and bandage them.
After the surgery, the man's condition stabilized. However, they knew that the toxins in his body had not been completely eliminated and he needed further treatment.
"His poison is highly potent, which shows the poisoner didn't want him to live. If you stay with him, he might develop a fever. I'll first investigate what kind of poison it is, and then prepare an antidote for him. He's lucky to have met you; otherwise, he would truly be meeting his maker."
After finishing his sentence, the master took a small canister of blood and walked out.
Xiao Qianqian stayed by the man's side, constantly monitoring his condition. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the man developed a high fever, and Xiao Qianqian kept changing his wet towels to bring him down.
She worked until dawn, only breathing a sigh of relief when the man's body temperature returned to normal.
At that moment, the master pushed open the door and entered, holding a bowl of brewed Chinese medicine. "Give it to him. Luckily, you caught that rare poisonous insect yesterday, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to concoct the antidote. This kind of poison is too insidious," the master said.
"It's such a pity that he used up all my good poisonous insects at once. Qianqian, you have to catch a few more for me."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go catch it tonight, is that alright?"
"Alright, Master likes to hear you say that," he said, then smiled triumphantly, his white beard bristling.
Xiao Qianqian took the medicine bowl and shook her head. This old rascal only knew how to scheme against her. She carefully fed the man the medicine.
