Chapter 431 They even took off his socks.
The female doctor Yan didn't speak, but exchanged a glance with the physician Liao. The two of them tacitly cleaned the wounds of the injured person, raised their feet, and gave the injured person an antidote.
"The poisonous blood must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise these two people will be in danger."
After taking her pulse, Physician Liao asked Physician Yan, "Physician Yan, do you have any solutions?"
"Yes, it exists, but you need the tools."
Yan Yan frowned and pondered for a moment before asking Lin Yuesha, "Sister Yuesha, I remember you brought a small porcelain jar?"
The injured were all in the ankles and calves. Cupping was used to draw out the toxic blood, but Dr. Yan could not find cups of the right size, so she had to ask Lin Yuesha for help.
"How big is the porcelain jar?"
Seeing the description of Doctor Yan, Lin Yuesha considered for a moment and said, "Then only my small garlic mortar will be suitable."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cha quickly searched the cargo cart and soon found a small jar.
The female doctor found some paper to start a fire, first stuffing it into a small jar, then quickly pulled the paper out and fastened it to one of the people's ankles.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, some of the poisonous blood was drawn out, leaving bluish-purple marks around it.
After repeating this process several times, the poisonous blood from the two people was finally cleaned up. About half an hour later, the two people woke up.
The group was about to continue their journey when they were stopped by the two men.
The two men, one named Jia San and the other Hou Qi, were from the nearby mountains and worked with Madam He, engaging in robbery and plunder.
Recently, the government has been making moves, always wanting to send troops to suppress the mountain bandits. However, this place is complicated, and it is a no-man's-land between two cities, making it even more difficult to go up the mountain.
Then, someone came up with a bad idea and released a large number of venomous snakes nearby. The snakes slithered around in the grass and chaff, and the two men unfortunately fell victim to them as they descended the mountain.
A few days ago, one of the brothers in the mountain stronghold was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. After being bitten, Jia San immediately felt numb all over and lost consciousness. He knew he was doomed, but unexpectedly, he met a benefactor and was saved.
"Miracle doctor, did the miracle doctor save me?"
Jia San was extremely excited. The two of them went down the mountain just to find a doctor to come up and treat Lady He. However, no doctor was willing to come. He was thinking of a way to rob one to take back with him.
He gave Hou Qi a wink, and Hou Qi immediately whistled.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, dozens of people came down from the mountain and surrounded the convoy's path.
What are you doing?
Yan Yan frowned, finally understanding the two men's identities. She and Doctor Liao had saved them, but these two men were repaying kindness with enmity by robbing them and taking them to the mountain.
If she had known this would happen, she would have pretended not to see it and wouldn't have bothered with it.
Among the crowd were the elderly and children, as well as the seriously ill Xiao Chenggui, so Lin Yuesha dared not make any rash moves.
“My benefactor, we really have no other choice but to ask you to go up the mountain to treat my eldest son. We have absolutely no other intentions.”
Even bandits have their principles, and their actions made the two men blush with shame. However, Madam He's illness was urgent, and it would take them a long time to go to town to find a doctor. So they had no choice but to ask Doctor Yan to come to their home for a consultation.
Since they are all women, it must be more convenient for them, since it is quite difficult to find a female doctor.
“Our benefactor, we really don’t mean anything by it. As long as you treat our boss, we trust your medical skills. After the treatment, we will send you down the mountain and give you a reward. We will make sure you don’t work for nothing.”
Jia San patted his chest and assured them that, besides, the surrounding area was a no-man's-land, and they weren't the only ones occupying the mountain. Recently, people from other mountain strongholds had been frequently coming down the mountain to rob people. Once the plan was successful, they would send someone to escort Lin Yuesha and her group safely through this area.
“My benefactor, although we do all sorts of bad things like robbery and plunder, we still uphold basic morality.”
Mountain bandits have their own rules. They don't double-cross each other or rob each other of their prized possessions. If they are escorted, the surrounding bandits will definitely give them face.
Being "invited" up the mountain with no other choice, Yan Yan was furious.
“Sister Yan, this is not your fault. Doctors should treat patients and save lives without feeling guilty. If they repay kindness with enmity, they are the ones who should feel guilty.”
Besides, every cloud has a silver lining. We had already read in travelogues that there were many bandits in the no-man's-land. The group was always on edge when trying to take shortcuts. If, as Jia San said, there were bandits to escort us, the journey would be much smoother.
"The carriage is left at the foot of the mountain, and our brothers will help look after it. We'll take a gondola up the mountain."
Jia San led the group to the hanging basket and first gestured to Dr. Yan to invite them in.
When Qingxing saw the hanging basket, it matched the information Baiying had given her; they had also ridden up in this basket.
"Will this be sturdy?"
Being hoisted up like that, if the vines of the basket broke halfway up, that little life would be lost. Lin Yuesha was afraid of heights and covered her eyes with her hands, unable to look.
"Miss, please don't worry. The rattan is tightly woven and has wires in the middle. We all sit on it to save time."
The mountain roads were rugged, which was why the soldiers couldn't besiege the village; they themselves rarely traveled the mountain paths.
The location of the hanging basket is secluded; if you're not one of our own, we have to cover you with a black cloth or bring you up in the dark.
"Oh well."
Doctor Yan went up first, and after waiting for a while without any movement, Lin Yuesha sat in the gondola. After a short while, the gondola rose and she was lifted into the air and carried up the mountain.
The mountain was quite exquisite, with a flat, open area, neatly arranged houses, and several sturdy warehouses, presumably used by the bandits to store their looted goods.
Behind the house, there was a field where the bandits were working shirtless, sweating profusely.
Just as Lin Yuesha was about to turn around, Qingxing suddenly grabbed her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, look at that big guy in the middle, he looks like Fang Dazhuang!"
"Impossible, he went to the capital with my elder brother to take the imperial examination."
Although Lin Yuesha said that, she also felt that his back view was exactly the same as Fang Dazhuang's, so she couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look.
"Miss, do you know Dazhuang?"
Jia San wiped the sweat from his forehead, sensing something was wrong. Fang Dazhuang was someone the boss had taken a liking to, so he insisted on keeping him in the stronghold. He never expected that Fang Dazhuang would be an acquaintance of this young lady. What a coincidence!
"yes."
Lin Yuesha stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Jia San and asking, "You...you robbed my older brother?"
Fang Dazhuang was left on the mountain to do farm work. Lin Yuesha understood perfectly well what was going on: those damned bandits! Her stepbrother was going to the capital for the imperial examinations, and he couldn't be delayed!
"Miss, are you referring to the scholar who wears yellow chick socks?"
Some time had passed, and Jia San could no longer remember the scholar's appearance, only that the eccentric scholar wore socks shaped like little yellow chicks, and not only that, one sock was big and the other was small.
Lin Yuesha: ...
"Little yellow chick socks," Lin Yuesha keenly caught the key phrase, and she said even more angrily, "You even took off his socks?"
