After Zhou Jiaojiao finished treating all the patients, there was only one seriously ill case, and fortunately everyone was saved.
I don’t know how long it took.
The baby in my arms fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again.
Chu San came here with Lord Mo.
Only then did she realize that there were already layers of guards surrounding the yard, densely packed and protective.
Lord Mo walked over quickly, an anxious look on his face. Seeing the burned yard and the wounded on the ground, his brow furrowed. He asked, "What happened?"
The guard in charge hurried over and whispered to him, explaining the situation, "Sir, when we arrived, the raiders had already set the yard on fire. We had no time to put out the fire, and the things were stolen. I had no choice but to arrange for people to take them back, so the blacksmith was short of manpower."
"Something happened?" Lord Mo's face immediately turned dark.
The guard quickly shook his head: "No, no..."
He was somewhat happy, but more of it was joy. "Sir, it was Miss Zhou who showed up and helped. Look, all the people in this yard have been killed."
"How was it destroyed?" Lord Mo directly asked the most crucial question.
The guard then told the story of Zhou Jiaojiao putting out the fire. Perhaps it was too shocking, especially the huge water curtain and the fierce flames that looked like fire snakes in everyone's eyes. But it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and it was extinguished in an instant. That sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can forget.
After hearing this, Lord Mo took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Jiaojiao with a hesitant look. He really didn't expect her to do such a shocking thing, especially when he thought that the space was now even more exposed, and someone might come to question him soon.
But soon, Lord Mo gave up this idea. After all, the space had been exposed, otherwise there would not be a surprise attack today. It was obvious that they were secret guards hired by powerful people. They knew everything they should know. If he continued to hide it, it would be like hiding it from ordinary people who were powerless. There was no point.
He walked in and saw Zhou Jiaojiao treating the blacksmiths. He did not disturb them but waited quietly by the side. However, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.
Especially the blacksmiths did not utter any painful cries, which was unbelievable to him as a former soldier. When he got closer, he found that all of them had medicine applied on their bodies.
Seeing that he couldn't figure out the reason, he simply asked the injured Mr. Wu in a low voice.
"Blacksmith Wu, you're so badly injured. What kind of medicine did you use? How could it not hurt?"
Old Wu was a little surprised when he heard this. He did not answer, but subconsciously looked at Zhou Jiaojiao. He originally wanted to keep it a secret for Zhou Jiaojiao, thinking that this medicine must be very useful and must not be an ordinary item. Little did he know that this action exposed the fact that it was Zhou Jiaojiao who took it out.
Lord Mo didn't ask him any more questions and walked straight towards Zhou Jiaojiao, feeling a little agitated. Only those who had been to the battlefield knew how important effective painkillers were. How many soldiers died not from severe wounds, but from the pain.
Infection and excessive blood loss.
These reasons are the main causes of the large number of deaths of wounded soldiers. The reason why the military camp has to recruit soldiers as soon as a war breaks out is because there must be cannon fodder in the front to attract attention and give capable soldiers the opportunity to kill the enemy. Otherwise, once the strong soldiers are at the front, they will be shot on the battlefield before they can play any role. This is not only a waste of talent, but also affects their own combat effectiveness.
When the enemy comes after them, the untrained recruits may not be able to withstand a cavalryman and will be hacked to death, becoming a living hell.
If we had these painkillers and hemostatics, even wounded soldiers would be able to fight effectively, at least killing a few more people before they died. Zhou Jiaojiao had long noticed that Lord Mo was looking for an opportunity to talk to her and was very nervous.
She ignored him and raced against time to rescue the injured blacksmiths before letting go and letting others help.
"My dear, you've worked hard. Drink some water."
Chu San had been holding Bao'er next to him, helping out, and the two of them worked together harmoniously.
Zhou Jiaojiao took big gulps of the water from the bottle she fed her, and only then did she feel that her throat was less uncomfortable.
"Miss Zhou, I..."
Lord Mo quickly stepped forward and asked her expectantly and nervously, "Miss Zhou, I'd like to buy the prescription for hemostatic and analgesic drugs from you. How much are you willing to pay?"
Zhou Jiaojiao took the handkerchief handed over by Chu San and slowly wiped the sweat off her face. She raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "Any price is fine?"
"Of... course." Lord Mo gritted his teeth and insisted. He looked pitiful as he finished speaking: "Miss Zhou, you also know that the government office in Yuzhou doesn't have much public funds. The silver is limited and must be used to treat the people. There is really not much that can be squeezed out, so..."
"It doesn't matter. Lord Mo can exchange it for silver and the right to use it." Zhou Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Lord Mo was a little confused about what she meant, especially what the right of use included. He probably only knew what she meant. He was also a frank person, so he asked directly, "Miss Zhou, you know I'm a rough man. I really can't guess what you mean. Just tell me directly. If I can accept it, I will agree to it. If not, we can discuss it again."
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes.
Chu San next to him knew his wife's character very well. Seeing her expression, he guessed that what she wanted must be a good thing. He just didn't know whether Lord Mo would regret it at that time.
"I want a few mountains and the right of passage from Youzhou to Yan'an on the Yuzhou River. In other words, my family's ships can pass freely through Yuzhou in the future."
Lord Mo was very nervous. He thought he was going to bleed heavily this time, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
He scratched his head subconsciously: "It's just a few mountains, no problem at all."
You should know that there are quite a few barren mountains under the name of the government. Only some mountains with beautiful scenery and no danger are purchased by wealthy families or rich households, and the rest are owned by the government. Now Yuzhou has suffered another snow disaster, and many people have died. No one is farming, and the fields are not worth much, let alone the barren mountains that have no output.
"As for the river access rights you mentioned, I can give you a warrant, but..." Lord Mo really couldn't understand why she wanted these worthless things. He felt a little guilty, but he couldn't bear to watch the soldiers below die. He could only let Zhou Jiaojiao suffer. He hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything. He didn't know who would rule the world in the future.
If the new emperor wants to settle accounts with them at that time, even if they have this pass, it will be meaningless.
