Chapter 708 A Dream of Youth 240
Xie Ning was unaware that the capital was discussing how to arrange things in Xili and other places, since the war was over and she should go home.
The two military doctors, one old and one young, were very reluctant to part with Xie Ning. Xie Ning just smiled and said, "When I get back, I will talk to His Majesty about the rotation. You can also go back to the Imperial Medical Bureau in the capital to continue your studies."
Xie Ning knew that what they really wanted was not just to continue studying at the Imperial Medical Bureau, but to stay in the capital, because staying in the army was too dangerous.
But she doesn't care about those things. Whether one can stay or not, and how much knowledge one can learn, depends on one's own abilities.
After a pause, Xie Ning taught the two the prescriptions he had written over the past few days and several acupuncture techniques. He asked for nothing more than that the military doctor could lend a helping hand and save the lives of the girls from the military brothel camp when they came looking for him.
The two armies parted ways, and the younger military doctor sighed, "When I first met Lord Xie, I thought this noble lady from the capital would be both incompetent and arrogant. I never expected her to be so capable and kind. She was even willing to teach the women in the brothel."
The old military doctor, sitting in the carriage, squinted sleepily. Upon hearing this, he shifted to a more comfortable position. "Medicine is the art of benevolence, and one must possess the heart of a benevolent person. We still haven't mastered it."
The young military doctor was a little embarrassed. "Lord Xie is a young lady, so it's normal for her to be more considerate of women."
"That's a mistake."
"Where did we go wrong?"
The young military doctor didn't quite understand. After all, women are more considerate of other women, and it's normal for men to be a little careless. Moreover, men and women have different statuses, and those military prostitutes are of low status, so they wouldn't think about these things.
The old military doctor, no longer sleepy, drew back the curtains and gestured for the young doctor to look outside. "What do you see?"
"Wild grass?" the young military doctor replied hesitantly.
Besides weeds, could there be something else on this road? There are no soldiers outside the car window, just mud?
The old military doctor nodded. "What do you think of this wild grass compared to the orchids you carefully cultivate at home? Which one is more precious?"
"Of course, the Cymbidium goeringii I cultivate is precious. I take excellent care of it. Its leaves are slender and elegant, and its flowers are delicate and exquisite. It exudes a refined and elegant charm. When it sways gently in the breeze, it brings the feeling of spring. But these wild grasses are everywhere. How can they compare to my Cymbidium goeringii?"
The young military doctor was very proud when he talked about the orchids he cultivated. He had no other hobbies but loved orchids. He cultivated them with great care, which was far superior to the weeds by the roadside.
The old military doctor gazed at him with a longing look, "Perhaps in Lord Xie's eyes, Chunlan is just like the roadside weeds, nothing more than grass."
The young military doctor's smug expression faltered, his eyes momentarily blank, before he lowered his head in deep thought, as if he had grasped something.
Dust and sand swirl, wild geese fly high, grass and trees know spring is coming, spring rain falls, the sound of flutes flies over the passes, and the wind blows through the willows of Bianliang.
The carriage wheels rolled over the fine sands of the desert, the clanging of the bronze bells lulling people into a drowsy state. Du Xin fell into a deep sleep, clutching his book, while Xie Ning remained seated at his low table, writing his medical book.
These were all experiences she had summarized while treating wounded soldiers. Perhaps she could recall previous treatment methods and accumulated experience by looking at her old notes, but the medical methods applicable at different times were also different.
The medicines and medical equipment here are relatively backward.
As she wrote, Xie Ning couldn't help but sigh. What she learned in modern times was physics and mechanics, and her medical knowledge was gradually accumulated later, mainly during the Republic of China period.
At that time, the antibiotics used were sulfonamides, and penicillin appeared later. Not to mention that she had not studied medicine, even if she had, she would not have had the conditions or means to learn how antibiotics were made.
Therefore, she is completely blank in this field.
Most soldiers on the battlefield do not die from sword or gun wounds, but from infections from seemingly minor wounds.
If antibiotics are available, the mortality rate can be greatly reduced.
During the march, she also tried to make similar medicines to prevent infection, because she saw examples of using mold from tofu to treat boils on the skin while reading ancient books.
Unfortunately, the results of her experiment were worrying.
