This scene caught Xu Yuehua off guard. She quickly stepped forward to support the Ghost Doctor's body, feeling extremely guilty and remorseful.
"Ghost Doctor! Ghost Doctor!" she called out anxiously, but the Ghost Doctor seemed to be asleep and did not respond at all.
She knew the Ghost Doctor had collapsed because he had overexerted himself, and it was all because of her…
"It's all my fault." Xu Yuehuai knew she shouldn't have made the Ghost Doctor so tired, but it was too late to say anything now.
She immediately laid the ghost doctor flat on the ground and took out several life-saving pills, feeding them to him.
These pills have extremely strong healing effects; we can only hope that they can help the Ghost Doctor recover as soon as possible.
Then, Xu Yuehuai quietly stayed by the Ghost Doctor's side.
She knew she couldn't just leave to find Qi Guze; she had to wait until the Ghost Doctor woke up and confirmed he was alright before she could leave with peace of mind.
Almost a night had passed, and Xu Yuehuai was worried that the Ghost Doctor might not be able to heal and would not wake up; she was also worried about the safety of Qi Guze, Bei Ye and Bai Yu; she was even more worried that she would not be able to fulfill the heavy responsibility on her shoulders... These worries weighed on her heart like a boulder, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Just as she was on the verge of collapse, the Ghost Doctor finally slowly opened his eyes. Although his gaze was somewhat dazed, it quickly returned to clarity.
"What... what's wrong with me?"
Upon hearing the Ghost Doctor's voice, Xu Yuehuai excitedly stepped forward to take his pulse: "Ghost Doctor! You're finally awake!"
"I'm lucky, I won't die. But what about you? How are your injuries?" The Ghost Doctor didn't care about his own injuries at all.
"I'm fine now, but you fainted because you had to save me. I really don't know how to thank you enough." She said this with great remorse.
"Let's not stand on ceremony between us. Besides, I'm doing this for myself. I don't want to see the people I worked so hard to save fall again," the Ghost Doctor said sincerely.
"I will. As long as you are alive, I will do everything I can to protect my life," Xu Yuehuai solemnly promised.
The Ghost Doctor said, "Alright, remember what you said today!"
"Ghost Doctor, could you please lend me another hand?" Xu Yuehuai said, her face turning red.
The Ghost Doctor asked in surprise, "Oh? What is it that's troubling you so much?"
"I beg you, please help me save Aze, Beiye, and Baiyu. They are seriously injured and need your help!"
The Ghost Doctor immediately replied, "Alright, I'll go with you. Although my body is not as strong as it used to be, your determination makes it impossible for me to refuse."
Xu Yuehuai helped the Ghost Doctor as they staggered towards the makeshift shelter.
Although the night had gradually faded, the air was still filled with the lingering smell of blood and a persistent unease.
Inside the shelter, candlelight flickered, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold morning.
After a moment, Xu Yuehuai looked at the frowning Ghost Doctor and asked, "Ghost Doctor, is their condition really that troublesome?"
The Ghost Doctor calmly replied, "Yes, the injuries of the three of them are all different, and all extremely serious. Especially the Prince, he lost too much blood; if it weren't for his extraordinary constitution, he probably would have already..."
His words came to an abrupt end, but the heaviness in them was enough to make Xu Yuehuai's heart tighten.
"Then what should we do?" Xu Yuehuai asked anxiously, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white from the force.
The Ghost Doctor was silent for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have caught some inspiration. He turned to look at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes sparkling with expectation: "Didn't you come here to find that ancient book?"
Xu Yuehuai quickly took out an ancient book from his bosom. The cover was embroidered with the four characters "Secret Classic of Medicine" in gold thread, which looked particularly solemn and dazzling in the dim candlelight.
"This might offer us a glimmer of hope." She gently handed the book to the Ghost Doctor.
The Ghost Doctor took the book, quickly flipped through a few pages, and a look of surprise and disbelief flashed in his eyes: "The Secret Manual of Medicine! This is actually a long-lost medical treasure. How did you obtain it?"
Xu Yuehuai said succinctly, "We went through countless hardships and dangers following a map before we finally found this book."
The Ghost Doctor saw some key information, and his expression became increasingly serious and focused: "In that case, let's go all out. However, the methods in this secret manual are mostly ancient techniques, requiring extremely high medical skills and comprehension, and the medicinal materials needed are extremely rare. We must race against time."
The two walked into a simple treatment room inside the shelter as they talked.
The Ghost Doctor quickly immersed himself in the world of "The Secret Manual of Medicine," carefully searching for treatment methods suitable for Qi Guze and the other two's injuries, while methodically instructing Xu Yuehuai to help prepare some rare medicinal herbs.
Xu Yuehuai acted without hesitation. Relying on her deep knowledge and memory of medicinal herbs, she carefully searched through the ruins for every leaf and every root, leaving no stone unturned.
Finally, under the meticulous guidance of the Ghost Doctor and with Xu Yuehuai's tireless efforts, they successfully concocted several special medicines. These medicines emitted a faint fragrance, seemingly containing endless vitality and life force, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.
The treatment began with Qi Guze. The Ghost Doctor used ancient acupuncture techniques recorded in the secret manual to slowly insert slender silver needles into Qi Guze's acupoints.
As the silver needles were inserted and rotated, Qi Guze's breathing instantly became stronger and more even. Then, the Ghost Doctor slowly fed him a specially made medicine. The medicine seemed to have a spirit, quickly dissolving in his body and nourishing every inch of damaged skin and meridians.
Next up were Bei Ye and Bai Yu. Bei Ye's injuries were mainly concentrated in his internal organs, so the Ghost Doctor used the internal energy regulation method from the secret manual to treat him, guiding the flow of qi and blood in his body to gradually repair the damaged organs.
Bai Yu, suffering greatly from severe external injuries, found his lifeline in the special ointment and bandages made by the Ghost Doctor. The ointment, gently applied to the wound, instantly transformed into a warm current flowing into his body, relieving the pain and accelerating the healing process.
The entire treatment process was long and arduous, but Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor never wavered. They took turns caring for the three seriously injured patients, ensuring that every detail was perfect and without any mistakes.
A month later, Qi Guze, Bei Ye, and Bai Yu all regained consciousness.
"Ah Yue!" Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai with complicated emotions in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but did not know where to begin.
"The Ghost Doctor truly lives up to his name! You're all safe!" Xu Yuehuai excitedly rushed forward and hugged Qi Guze tightly, as if afraid of losing him again.
Qi Guze looked at the Ghost Doctor who had just come in to change shifts and said, "Thank you for saving everyone."
Bei Ye and Bai Yu also expressed their gratitude to the Ghost Doctor.
"Thank you, thank you all!" Bei Ye choked up for a long time.
Tears streamed down Xu Yuehuai's cheeks: "It's alright, it's good that you're all alive."
"Actually, it was your own efforts that brought you back to life. Without this 'Secret Manual of Medicine,' I wouldn't have been very confident in saving you." The Ghost Doctor waved the "Secret Manual of Medicine."
