The next day, Dr. Luo took his men to patrol around the bamboo building again. They found nothing except footprints, so they added more patrolmen. After a few days, no other abnormalities were found, so they gradually let the matter go.
Even Mu Huaixi suspected that he had seen it wrong that night.
Apart from this incident, everything I've encountered recently has been good news.
First, the condition of several burned patients did not worsen under their care. Then news came from Kuncheng that several patients who needed amputation did not suffer too much because of proper early treatment.
Then the bombing stopped. I heard that the other side abandoned the city and land and fled in defeat. No wounded were sent here in recent days. With fewer wounded, they had less work to do. In addition, as the weather turned cooler, the anger that had accumulated in their hearts gradually dissipated.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back now. Have you prepared the things for Captain Ying?"
"Okay, come with me to get it."
The wood's insect poison had been cured, and his complexion looked much better than before, and he no longer had the shivering at night. When he woke up, he had explained to Mu Huaixi that he had come with the new weapon, equivalent to half an engineer, but he had unexpectedly been "attacked by insects" in the woods the day before returning, and had no choice but to stay.
But I was lucky enough to meet Mu Huaixi.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that if I hadn't met you, my leg would have been broken!" Mu Tou followed her towards the bamboo building. His legs were still a little inconvenient, but his expression was beaming, and he was not affected by the injury at all.
Mu Huaixi smiled and looked back at him, "Where did you hear that? Your insect poison is a bit troublesome, but everyone took good care of you. It's not just my credit."
Mu Tou curled his lips. He had heard from Doctor Luo before that he was bitten by a kind of insect called a woodworm here. In addition, he had a special physique, and his condition was not very good when he was sent here. If Doctor Luo was asked to treat him, he would probably have to cut flesh and replace blood. However, his sister-in-law suppressed the poison with gold needles and detoxified with pills, so he didn't suffer too much.
Otherwise, the blood and flesh cut off from his legs would have seriously damaged his vitality. How could he return to the team so quickly?
Mu Tou was grateful in his heart, but he also heard from Mu Huaixi's words that she was not fond of publicity, so he could only change his words and say, "Anyway, thank you sister-in-law!"
He thought to himself that Sister Mu and Captain Ying were exactly the same. Both of them were people who did good things but were unwilling to publicize them. Both of them were pure comrades!
Mu Huaixi was not as conscious as he thought. She just felt that since it was a matter of life and death, everyone was doing their best. She might have more pharmaceutical skills than others, but she was no match for Dr. Luo and the nurses in treating broken bones and caring for the injured. Therefore, everyone's good recovery was not her credit alone.
Mu Huaixi took down a small package from upstairs and showed him the ointments inside one by one, "This is the golden spear compress, this is the newly made detoxification pill, this is for dispelling miasma..."
After she finished explaining all her preparations, she couldn't help but sigh. She'd been so busy tending to the wounded that she'd barely had enough time. She'd originally planned to upgrade and supplement her existing medicine with herbs from nearby sources, but aside from some herbs she'd gathered on her way back to the transit station, the rest she'd found nearby was limited in variety and processing techniques, so the potency wasn't what she'd hoped for.
But Mu Tou was already stunned. He stretched out his hands to take the package, hugged it tightly in his arms and promised, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! Even if I lose it, these medicines will not be lost!"
"That's not an exaggeration," Mu Huaixi was amused by him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't just think about giving it to your battalion commander. If you need it, use it freely!"
Mu Tou nodded. He had lived in the straw hut for several days and knew how effective these medicines were. He especially knew how effective the Golden Spear Compress was. The brothers who had used it all praised it. It could stop bleeding and relieve pain, much better than the previous wound medicine.
Seeing that he was staring at the Golden Spear Compress, Mu Huaixi said, "The Military District Hospital has already made the Golden Spear Compress. By the time you return, maybe everyone will have used it."
"That's different," Mu Tou said, stunned for a moment. He quickly tightened the package and asked, "Are there any other things you want to bring? Any letters?"
"There's no need for a letter... " Mu Huaixi was a little annoyed. She was so busy packing the medicine that she forgot to write a letter to Ying Mingcheng. After being reminded by Mu Tou, her mind was full of gossips and she didn't know where to start.
Mu Tou said he was leaving, but he stood there patiently. "How about taking a message?"
In fact, he was not sure whether he could see the battalion commander after returning, but if he did, Battalion Commander Ying would definitely want to know about his sister-in-law.
"Okay, then send a message and tell him that everything is fine here and ask him to be careful!" Mu Huaixi felt both sad and warm in her heart. Seeing Mu Tou repeat it twice, she nodded quickly and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes while he turned around.
She missed Ying Mingcheng very much.
But now they are all in their respective posts, with their own responsibilities that they must uphold, and this longing can only be conveyed through this packet of medicine and two words.
After Mu Tou left, Mu Huaixi felt a little disappointed and only had a steamed bun for dinner.
Ai Taoyu, who lived with her, knew that she came here for her lover. She thought about it all night but couldn't figure out how to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Mu Huaixi recovered to normal the next day and even dragged her to the woods to collect herbs.
"I'll go with you," Qin Wenlong came over with a snakeskin bag and a machete on his waist.
Although they had worked together for a long time, Ai Taoyu still had some grudges against Qin Wenlong. She curled her lips and was about to say something when she saw Qin Wenlong take the initiative to walk forward and said, "Don't forget the figure that Doctor Mu saw earlier. It's too unsafe for the two of you to go."
Seeing that he took the initiative to ask to protect them both, Mu Huaixi tugged at Ai Taoyu's sleeve and shook his head.
The forest behind the bamboo house is full of vegetation, green trees, red fruits, and clusters of mushrooms of different colors.
It is different from looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains before - at that time you had to look carefully to find the herbs, but now you will miss a lot of herbs if you don’t look carefully.
Mu Huaixi picked up several hemostatic and heat-clearing medicines, took Qin Wenlong and Xiao Ai to identify them, and then let them find them themselves.
"Don't be too ruthless and cut them all down," Mu Huaixi specifically instructed. The plants here grow very fast. As long as the roots are not cut off and the entire family is not exterminated, they will recover after a while and can be harvested continuously.
The two nodded and went in different directions to look for herbs, but neither of them went far.
Mu Huaixi carefully walked towards the river, leaning on a branch. When she passed by a few days ago, she seemed to have seen a vine that looked like Bi Ba, but she was in a hurry to go back at that time and did not take a closer look.
Bi Ba is also called rat tail. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says it can cure headaches and toothaches, and its fruit spikes can also cure stomach problems and dysentery. It has a wide range of medical uses.
