Chapter Twenty-Three: The Book of Survival



He paused as he spoke.

He turned to look at General Cui, who had already woken up, and met his gaze. Only after receiving General Cui's silent approval as he slowly closed his eyes did he continue speaking.

"I wanted to ask her to treat the general."

These words startled everyone.

The shopkeeper, who had been silent all along, finally lost his temper and scolded with a dark face, "Doctor Chen, stop talking nonsense!"

Other doctors at Baohetang also said the same thing.

"Yes, Dr. Chen, you should hurry up and treat the general."

If General Cui were to have an accident at their clinic, they would all be held accountable. All the doctors were already sweating profusely!

Dr. Chen ignored their advice and continued speaking to Old Madam Tian, ​​"Madam, please believe me, I will protect her."

Grandma Tian disagreed even more!

Putting aside the fact that her daughter Guoguo doesn't know medicine, even if she did, look at those fierce-looking soldiers...

Cough, the one whose neck Qian Bao grabbed is dizzy!

Qian Bao loosened his grip slightly, and the soldier fell to the ground like a dead fish.

Mrs. Tian…

That's not the point.

Look over there, there are still quite a few soldiers. And look at this General Cui, he's no ordinary person. If Guoguo doesn't heal his wounds, wouldn't he be beaten to death by them?

No, absolutely not!

The old lady was making up her mind when her granddaughter suddenly patted her back and whispered a few words in her ear.

The old lady was stunned.

Before she could react, her precious granddaughter had already slipped down from her arms.

"Walk…"

She tumbled on her bottom again in the broken car, but without lingering, she quickly got up, told Dr. Chen, and continued walking.

Seeing this, Dr. Chen quickly followed.

General Cui has fully regained consciousness.

He could clearly see Tian Guoguo, and even saw her smiling at him, which filled him with an indescribable sense of warmth.

They seemed familiar to me.

He couldn't help but want to smile at Tian Guoguo.

Just as he raised the corners of his lips in a smile, his view was blocked by a figure.

He was a soldier.

He then angrily said to Doctor Chen, "We brought the general here to save his life, not to kill him. Doctor Chen, please think it over!"

He said the last half of the sentence through gritted teeth.

The surrounding officers and soldiers also gathered around, each glaring fiercely at Doctor Chen and Tian Guoguo with unfriendly expressions, their warnings clear.

The shopkeeper and the doctors, seeing that something was wrong, came over to take Tian Guoguo away.

Grandma Tian and Qian Bao ran over quickly.

The old lady hugged her granddaughter tightly.

Qian Bao stretched out his large hand to protect them, and glared fiercely at everyone present, saying, "Let's see who dares to make a move!"

His voice was even more imposing than that of the officers and soldiers.

Everyone who heard this couldn't help but shudder.

The atmosphere was tense. Although the officers and soldiers were somewhat afraid of Qian Bao, they thought that he was, after all, just one man, and that outnumbered men were no match for him…

Their plan was to arrest Qian Bao first.

The group exchanged glances, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus, and were about to make their move.

But at this moment...

General Cui, lying on the bed, suddenly spoke weakly, "Everyone move aside, let that little girl... heal my wounds!"

The officers and soldiers were all taken aback.

They all thought they had misheard, and turned to General Cui at the same time to ask, "General, what did you say?"

General Cui repeated, "Bring that little girl here. I trust her. Let her heal my wounds!"

Although General Cui had regained consciousness, he was still too weak, making it particularly difficult for him to speak.

The officers and soldiers were completely bewildered.

Doctor Chen quickly told Old Lady Tian to let go of the little girl, reminding her that the general had agreed to let the little girl treat her injuries.

Grandma Tian did not let go.

She had only let her run away because she was startled by her granddaughter's words, but this time, she asked her granddaughter first, "Guoguo, can you really save people?"

Tian Guoguo nodded to her grandmother, "Yes, you can."

Grandma Tian frowned, the words her granddaughter had spoken echoing in her ears: "Grandma, don't be afraid, there are immortals... who will teach me... to cure the general's illness!"

The old lady believed in the gods, but she was still a little panicked.

Doctor Chen urged again, "Madam, the general's injuries can't wait!"

Pressed by the authorities, Old Lady Tian finally gritted her teeth and said, "I can let my Guoguo treat the general's illness, but we need to explain first."

"This was treated by my daughter Guoguo at the general's request!"

"If it can't be cured, General, you can't blame my Guoguo. Guoguo is innocent!"

This is to protect the granddaughter.

Tian Guoguo's nose didn't feel sore. Is this what it feels like to be protected?

But the officers and soldiers are no good!

Although the general ordered the young girl to treat the illness, who knows if the girl might take the opportunity to retaliate against the soldiers for kicking her?

If she deliberately causes the general's death, then their heads will be on the line!

Some officers and soldiers then tried to refute this.

General Cui spoke up promptly, "Dr. Chen, write a letter of commitment. I... sign it, I agree!"

General Cui trusted the little girl, but he was afraid that he would be too badly injured. Just in case, he had to ensure the little girl's safety!

Dr. Chen didn't ask any more questions and quickly went to write it down.

As he wrote, the shopkeeper frowned and pressed down on the paper.

The shopkeeper wanted to tell Doctor Chen to stop fooling around, but Doctor Chen spoke first, "You know how serious the general's injuries are."

"As you know, with my medical skills, I was not able to revive the general, but the young girl revived him with just one needle!"

"With such abilities, you still don't believe her?"

He spoke quite loudly.

This was done on purpose so that everyone could hear it.

His words seemed to remind everyone that General Cui had indeed woken up after being pricked with needles by Tian Guoguo. Could it be...?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment but no one spoke.

Meanwhile, in the air, Dr. Chen had already written the commitment letter and would return to have them sign it.

Old Mrs. Tian was illiterate, but Qian Bao was!

Qian Bao carefully examined the letter of commitment and only gave it to his boss after confirming that there were no problems. Doctor Chen had already prepared the inkpad for both parties to sign!

After signing, Grandma Tian carefully kept it.

This is a life-saving book!

Tian Guoguo also began to give General Cui acupuncture.

No one knew where she got the needles from, but everyone saw her stick them into several acupoints on General Cui one after another.

Then, she took out a packet of medicine powder from her pocket.

In a childish voice, she said to General Cui, "General, please bear with it... okay."

Her expression was very serious.

General Cui couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his large hand and gently patted Tian Guoguo's head, responding softly.

"fine!"

Tian Guoguo felt his large hand touching her head, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up inside her.

There was no time to think, because General Cui's wound was already showing signs of infection, and the arrow needed to be removed quickly.

She sprinkled the powder on General Cui's wound.

When the powder first touched the wound, it caused a burning pain. General Cui's forehead veins bulged from the pain, but he didn't utter a sound.

Tian Guoguo saw it all.

I have great respect for this general!

But now was not the time for flattery. She said to Doctor Chen beside her, "Cut his...clothes..."

Dr. Chen quickly grabbed the scissors and did as instructed.

In this way, Tian Guoguo could clearly see the entire location of General Cui's wound.

General Cui's wounds have turned black.

This is a sign of poisoning.

But the blood that flowed out was all the normal color!

Tian Guoguo frowned slightly, lost in thought.

When everyone present saw her suddenly stop moving, they were all worried that she was beyond saving, and they all subconsciously held their breath and dared not breathe.

The only sound inside was the pounding of a heartbeat.
