Ulcers/1【Repair】
Finally? Find her?
While she was still thinking, the man fell down.
What is she doing?
Ye Xuanling really didn't understand her own behavior.
Ji Yan fainted in her arms. After much deliberation, she stripped Ji Yan's clothes off to use as a pull board. She gritted her teeth and dragged him back to the clinic like a diligent and honest donkey.
The way down the mountain was not very steep, but there were too many forked branches on the side of the road, and she felt a little embarrassed that they would scratch people's faces.
She apologized in her heart. There was no other way, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry him.
She was originally an abandoned baby picked up by her master, who taught her medical skills and moral theories.
Then the master shouldn't blame her for picking up a patient, right?
Ye Xuanling sighed, wishing she had pretended not to see it.
You are seriously ill. Once I cure you, you must give me and my master more money.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky, and Ye Xuanling's black hair and clothes were a little wet. She raised her somewhat sloppy hand to brush away the hair in front of her forehead.
"Master?" she called out. Before she saw the master, she was thinking that if the master got angry when he saw her dragging a man back, she would pretend to faint. But the master had already fallen asleep.
It’s better not to disturb the master for now, let her treat him herself first.
"You still remember to come back?" Ye Qing crossed his arms and stood in front of Ye Xuanling, looking directly at her.
His tone was neither cold nor warm, but rather questioning. Seeing that the master was about to criticize her, Ye Xuanling was startled, her eyes closed, and her body slumped to the side.
Before falling down, she deliberately glanced back, letting Ji Yan serve as her human cushion.
"Pretending again?" Ye Qing was quick-witted and gave Ye Xuanling a slash with his knife, neither light nor heavy.
"Ah!" Ye Xuanling cried out in pain, "Master!"
Ye Qing: "I asked you to dig herbs, why did you dig up a person?"
"I'm sorry, Master." Ye Xuanling clutched her shoulder and stood up despite the pain. "Master, how about we save him first?"
It was already late at night, and the master and disciple were busy treating the man's injuries.
Inside the room, candles flickered, their dancing flames illuminating the cold walls on all four sides. Next to the bed stood a short wooden table, its legs a little shorter, leaning diagonally against the wall.
On the table stood a porcelain basin, with a bloodstained handkerchief hanging from its edge. Beside the basin lay Ye Qing's most commonly used needlework and medicine powder.
In the firelight, it seemed strangely uneasy. A thin layer of water had settled on the bottom of the bowl.
"Ye Xuanling, come here." Ye Qing called her. Seeing that Ye Xuanling was still unmoved, he pulled her out of the door. "Did you see that?"
Ye Xuanling pretended to be dumbfounded: "What?"
Ye Qing knocked her forehead as punishment: "Can't you see the clothes on him? Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
She twitched the corner of her mouth: "Master, I don't know this either."
Ye Qing looked at her and said, "Ye Xuanling, I'm telling you the truth, I can't save him."
"Why?" Ye Xuanling knew that her master was a highly skilled doctor. But she didn't mention the panel to Ye Qing.
"Ye Xuanling, you have eyes to see and ears to obey." Ye Qing explained calmly, "The clothes he wears are not something an ordinary person can wear. His pulse is very strange."
She shook her head: "He is not an ordinary person."
Ye Qing understood very well that Ye Xuanling brought him back only because of her teachings and actions. She often told Ye Xuanling that it was a doctor's duty to save the world, and that after learning her medical skills, she must not stand by and watch someone die.
But after what happened today, she had to admit that doctors were too insignificant.
Ye Qing has already stitched up the torn flesh, and the rest depends on the young man's luck.
"Then let's send him off tomorrow," Ye Xuanling said. "Master, I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought him back."
Ye Qing reached out and patted her shoulder: "It's just that we can't do anything about it. Go to bed early."
After the master left, Ye Xuanling returned to the room she had just been in. After finishing the chores in the room, she looked at the man lying on the bed and felt sorry for him. He was such a good young man, but he died young. Goodbye.
There is really no other way.
【Ji Yan, the remaining time is 69 days.】
It reappeared. What on earth was this panel for? Was it to let her see the countdown to someone's life?
On second thought, if this was really just a countdown, why did he only see Ji Yan?
And the countdown was 69 days, didn't that mean he could live for more than two months? How could he survive that long after being pierced by a sword?
Why? I think I know!!
Generally speaking, aren't the torture instruments in prisons made of red-hot metal that's then imprinted on people's bodies?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuanling hissed.
She moved a stool and sat next to the bed. After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to look at him.
Although this is not a good thing to do, but considering that he is dedicating himself to medical skills, you shouldn't refuse, right?
She dragged him back from Xishan.
I can't sleep today. I have to observe first. If I find any interesting information, I will tell the master and he will praise her endlessly, right?
Until late at night, Ye Xuanling still insisted on staring.
As if she saw the wound getting smaller and smaller, she began to lower her head little by little, and her vision flickered, as if the world was spinning.
Until everything went dark before her eyes and she fell down.
—
Although the light was dim, considering that it would disturb her rest, Ji Yan thought about it and blew out the candle.
It doesn't matter, as long as she is around.
He didn't understand why Ye Xuanling was staring at him and even had to lift up his clothes.
He is still a patient, so it’s okay to let her lie down next to him.
Ji Yan didn't notice that the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He just turned his back and slowly tidied his clothes.
Ji Yan was a light sleeper and couldn't fall asleep at dawn. When he got up, he saw this scene:
Ye Xuanling's upper body was lying on the bed, her thin arms used as pillows, her back slightly arched, like a pea that had just been peeled from its pod and was still wrapped in its green afterbirth.
A ray of warm light shone through the window, licking half of her body, but it seemed unable to penetrate the thin old cloth, leaving only a faint, furry halo floating on the surface.
As if blinded by the light, she tilted her head to the other side, and her hair slid down her lowered neck, covering a slender part of her neck.
Her hair rose and fell very slowly with her gentle breathing.
Ji Yan unconsciously reached out and touched her long eyelashes, not wanting to disturb her deep sleep.
Sensing something, Ye Xuanling suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head, then straightened her body and looked at him warily.
"what you do?"
Ji Yan retracted his hand and clenched his fist.
Ye Xuanling thought of him and quickly tore off his clothes to check his injuries.
Although not fully recovered, the injury has healed faster than that of an average person.
She couldn't believe her eyes and stared at him blankly again.
"You!?" Ye Xuanling was about to scream out. This man was quite strong.
Ji Yancai in front of her said slowly, imitating her words just now: "What are you doing?"
【Ji Yan, the remaining time is 69 days.】
The panel appears again to remind you.
Ye Xuanling said calmly, "It's nothing. I'll help you check your wound."
Ji Yan said "oh" meaningfully.
"Since you're alright, please leave now," Ye Xuanling said. "You might not live long, and the clinic can't take you in, nor will it serve as a shield for you."
Ji Yan snorted and laughed: "Ye Xuanling, what is our relationship?"
Ye Xuanling was filled with questions. Did he lose his memory when she dragged him down the mountain and he hit a rock? Did his skin and flesh grow together, damaging his brain? Or was it that the master's medical skills were so poor that he had simply made him stupid?
How could that be possible? Ye Xuanling immediately dismissed the last thought.
"What do you think?"
Just in case, it would be okay to ask him back and throw the topic to him.
Ji Yan: "Ye Xuanling?"
"Uh..." Should she call out his name now? But she only knew it by looking at the panel. But then again, how did this person know her name?
He smiled and put his hand on her forehead: "Are you confused by the fever? Do you want to go see a doctor?"
Before Ji Yan could finish his words, Ye Xuanling stood up and hid behind him.
Ye Xuanling asked tentatively, "Do you want to change your clothes? These belong to my senior brother."
"You can drink some medicine too?" Ye Xuanling smiled stiffly. "I'll go ask Master!"
She was about to scream, "Master, I hit her silly!"
People were crowded outside the clinic. Almost everyone's face was purple, with dense red pimples popping out. The part of the back connecting to the neck was full of eroded rotten flesh, and the blue veins on the neck were particularly prominent.
Ye Qing didn't understand what was going on, she just opened the door and everyone rushed in. She couldn't stop them and kept backing away.
Ye Qing asked: "What are you doing?"
A man pounded his hands and asked anxiously, "Doctor Ye, please show us what's going on!"
"Yeah, we..."
"Doctor Ye, why does my back look like this?"
The crowd was chattering non-stop, and Ye Qing tried to calm everyone down. She hadn't called Ye Xuanling yet. The two of them had been busy until late at night trying to save the man they had picked up.
Ye Qing appealed: "Everyone, please don't panic. I'll take a closer look first."
She first observed the young people in the group.
Her breath caught in her throat, every inch of her skin tensed, her heart pounding. What was this thing...
Seeing this scene, she looked around, her legs weak and could hardly support her body. The strangeness of each person was like a needle piercing her eyes.
As soon as Ye Xuanling reached the wooden door connecting the inner courtyard to the hall, Ye Qing chased her out with a wooden fork like a mosquito.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing forced himself to run over and lock the wooden door tightly.
"Xuanling, go back first and don't come over." Ye Qing waved at her, her eyes terrified and panicked. Two beads of sweat slowly dripped down from her temples. She whispered to Ye Xuanling in a weak voice, "The ulcer is coming."
Broken ulcer. When Ye Xuanling heard these two words, she felt her heart stopped. She knew what it was.
Ancient books mentioned that ulcers can be transmitted simply by breathing without any contact.
Weak children and women who contract ulcers may die on the spot, while strong young people will wait until every inch of their skin has rotted away.
The rotting flesh will not kill people, but it will make people lose weight day by day, so you can still see people who look like mummies walking on the streets.
If your mind is damaged, you will turn into a monster!
The rusted joints produce a stagnant friction, and the limbs become like puppets. People with ulcers become like zombies, gradually decaying.
What should the master do then?
"Master!" Ye Xuanling knocked hard on the door. "Open the door!"
She leaned over the door and pounded on it, "Master! You're going to die!"
There must be a way, right? Ye Xuanling ran to her master's room and carefully searched the bamboo slips on the bookshelf.
Is it true that there is really no cure for ulcers?
It felt like there was a ball of wet cotton stuck in my throat, cold and blocked, and I couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
The palms of my hands were covered in sticky sweat as I flipped through the bamboo slips. They were so slippery that they kept slipping when I touched them.
Time seemed to stand still, and she froze there.
"How about I help you?"
Ji Yan leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, smiled, and sounded a little annoyed.
"I'm still alive, why don't you remember me?"
