"Master Zhang, hold on for a moment. Let's get rid of the people following us first! This is where I often go to see patients. I know a shortcut. Follow me closely."
Yun Siyu wiped the rain off her face as she spoke and turned back to look at Zhang Xuetao who was covering his shoulder.
She dared to take the risk to save people, so she must have been well prepared. She walked all the roads here in advance and did rescue a child living in the nearby civilian area, so she was not afraid of the Zhang family investigating her.
Yun Siyu took Zhang Xuetao to a dead end, then pushed the wall in front of them hard, and a hole appeared on the side of the wall. Then she let Zhang Xuetao go in first, and she followed in, and then pushed the wall back to its original place.
"This is a secret door opened by people nearby who don't want to take a long detour. One time, I left too late to help them see a doctor. They were worried about my safety as a woman, so they took a shortcut and sent me to the main road to take a rickshaw. That's when I found out about this."
Yun Siyu explained in a low voice.
Zhang Xuetao now completely believed Yun Siyu. If he was not familiar with the residents here, he would not have been told about such a secret door.
"Can you still walk?"
"Can!"
Zheng Xuetao's face turned pale with pain, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"It may be difficult for us to leave here tonight. The people chasing you must be looking for you around. Can you go with me to the house where we treated patients before and hide there? Leave at dawn tomorrow."
Yun Siyu said in a negotiating tone.
"As you say."
Zhang Xuetao knew that if he was discovered, he would be dead.
Yun Siyu took off her scarf, wrapped it around Zhang Xuetao's injured shoulder twice, and tied a knot to temporarily stop the bleeding.
"This will only stop the bleeding temporarily. Luckily the rain will wash away all the blood. Let's move quickly."
This time, Yun Siyu directly supported Zhang Xuetao, who was a head taller than her, and walked around to a low house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? So late?"
A man's voice came from inside.
"Uncle Zheng, I'm Nurse Yun. It's raining heavily and I can't get back in time. Can you let me take shelter from the rain?"
"Nurse Yun, please wait a moment!"
The lights in the house came on after a while, and after waiting for a while, the door opened.
"cloud"
The man called Brother Zheng saw Yun Siyu still holding someone and was about to speak, but Yun Siyu said:
"Brother Zheng, this is my friend. He is being chased by bad guys. Please let us hide for a while. Thank you!"
"Come in first!"
Zheng Wu couldn't refuse Yun Siyu either. After all, she had saved his son, and he was delayed in returning today because she came to change his son's medicine.
When the three of them entered the house, Yun Siyu immediately said:
"Brother Zheng, please blow out the lights. We will just stay in the kitchen for one night. Don't disturb my sister-in-law and my son."
"Okay, the fire in the kitchen is still warm. I'll go find an old mat and some quilts, and you can stay here for the night."
"Thank you, Brother Zheng."
Zhang Xuetao was not really a detached young man. He simply took out five silver dollars from his arms and stuffed them into Zheng Wu's hand.
"Sorry to bother you, big brother. Take this money. Don't think it's too little. My family will reward you handsomely tomorrow."
Zheng Wu did not refuse. After all, he had taken a risk by hiding the person at home, and his son still needed medical treatment. So after thanking him, he put away the silver dollar and turned around to prepare things.
There was warm water in the kitchen. Yun Siyu poked away the ashes as she knew how, added a piece of wood, and then let the water boil.
"I'm going to clean your wound first and check its condition. Take off your wet clothes first. Wounds soaked in rain water are prone to infection. It will be bad if you have a fever."
Yun Siyu said very professionally.
"I see!"
Zhang Xuetao first carefully took off his coat and vest. At this time, Zheng Wu also came to the kitchen with a mat and a quilt. He spread the mat on the ground, and then spread the quilt on it. Then he closed the kitchen door, blocking the cool wind outside and the light in the room.
The room suddenly became dark, and Yun Siyu said directly to Zhang Xuetao:
"Master Zhang, please sit over here for a moment. I want to use the stove fire to check your wound."
Zhang Xuetao moved over and finally took off his innermost shirt, revealing the wound on his shoulder. The wound was still bleeding, and the surrounding area had turned a little white.
"You lie down first. I will take out the bullet after I clean the wound."
Yun Siyu checked the man's exposed back. The bullet did not penetrate his shoulder. Because he was still bleeding, it meant that the bullet was still in his body, so he had to take it out as soon as possible.
Zhang Xuetao said nothing and just lay down obediently.
"Just bear with it. It will be a little painful without anesthesia. You have to hold on."
"I see."
Zhang Xuetao swallowed and nodded with difficulty.
Yun Siyu thought about it and finally stuffed a roll of gauze into the other person's mouth. If the other person screamed in pain, he would be easily exposed.
Especially since she found that the rain outside had subsided and was about to stop. If she attracted the pursuers here, her plan would fail. Even though she knew nothing would happen, it was still better to be cautious.
Sure enough, when she started to remove the bullet with tweezers, Zhang Xuetao groaned in pain, and finally covered his mouth tightly with his other hand.
Yun Siyu was quite capable. After taking out the bullet, she disinfected the wound with alcohol, sprinkled hemostatic powder on it, wrapped it with gauze, and then gave Zhang Xuetao some anti-inflammatory powder, which she had specially prepared.
After doing all this, she was sweating all over, and the clothes sticking to her body due to the rain made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Master Zhang, the bleeding has stopped, and you have taken the anti-inflammatory medicine. Now you need to sleep to recover your strength. As long as you don't have a fever in the middle of the night, you will have no problem making it to tomorrow."
"Thank you Siyu! If I hadn't met you today, I would have died."
"Don't thank me. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Even if it wasn't you, I would have helped. Besides, we've known each other for a long time. How could I just watch you die?"
As she spoke, Yun Siyu's voice became lowered.
"Feel sorry."
"You don't need me to apologize. We both did nothing wrong. We just met too late."
After Yun Siyu finished speaking, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she took off her coat, put it on the stove, and started to roast it.
At this moment, Zhang Xuetao discovered that in his heart, Yun Siyu's importance had long surpassed Duan Lianyi, but he knew that he could not be so selfish. He just sighed softly and closed his eyes. It didn't take long before he fell into a deep sleep.
After Yun Siyu was sure that the other person was asleep, she took off her cheongsam to dry it, and put on a freshly dried coat.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Xuetao really started to have a fever. Yun Siyu was sleeping next to him and noticed it immediately. He immediately dissolved a white antipyretic tablet in water and fed it to him.
When it was almost dawn, Yun Siyu fell asleep in the other's arms. (End of this chapter)
