Mu Yan asked the postman about the man's condition and learned that there were no doctors at the post station. They had only applied some medicine powder to the man's external wounds and bandaged them, but for some serious wounds, even with the medicine, they were still bleeding.
Mu Yan frowned, turned around and walked towards the man's guest room.
At that moment, Mu Jin was carrying clean clothes and planning to take a bath when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mu Jin put down the clothes in her hands, walked to the door and opened it. She found it was Mu Yan and asked in surprise, "Brother, is there something you need?"
Mu Yan scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Brother, I saw that you gave that man some hemostatic medicine today. Do you have any more? There are no doctors at this post station. I'd like you to give me some more for that man to take."
Mu Jin understood, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why did you save that complete stranger, brother?"
Mu Yan paused for a moment, his expression unnatural, and said, "I was once ambushed by the people of Beiqi Kingdom. When I escaped, I was unconscious on the snow in the mountains and was rescued by a villager. If no one had rescued me that day, I probably wouldn't be able to see Father and you."
Mu Yan forced a smile and said, "Seeing that man suddenly made me think. Heaven allowed me to live and see you and Father; perhaps he also has family he wants to see."
Mu Yan recounted his past experiences, speaking lightly, but Mu Jin could guess the extent of the dangers he had faced.
Mu Jin understood, went back to her room to get the medicine, and then left the room.
Seeing this, Mu Yan said, "Just give me the medicine, you don't need to go over there."
“Heaven saved my brother, so I should also do good deeds. I have been teaching myself some medical skills in recent years, and maybe I can save his life.”
Mu Yan frowned and said awkwardly, "You can just give me the medicine. That man is covered in injuries and isn't wearing any clothes. It's not appropriate for a girl like you to do this."
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow and said, "A doctor doesn't see men and women. When did you become so sentimental, brother? Let's go."
Mu Yan was speechless for a moment after hearing Mu Jin's words and could not refute them.
Mu Yan led Mu Jin into the injured man's room and sent the others away.
After the others left, Mu Jin went forward and lifted the man's blanket.
The man was naked, his body wrapped in gauze, some of which was soaked with blood.
Mu Jin said to Mu Yan, "Brother, could you please get me an oil lamp, a knife, scissors, a needle and thread, and a cloth strip..."
Before long, Mu Yan brought Mu Jin the tools she needed from outside.
Mu Jin cut off the gauze wrapped around the man's body and discovered that his body was covered with ugly wounds, some new and some old, with the new ones still bleeding.
The man's largest wound was a knife cut that ran from his chest to his abdomen. During the day, his clothes were soaked in blood, so the wound wasn't visible. Now, it appears that parts of the wound have become infected and festering.
Mu Jin's eyes quickly scanned the man's entire body, thinking to herself that even the ugly scars covering his body couldn't hide the fact that he had a truly impressive physique—broad shoulders, narrow waist, and further down, his V-line disappeared into the blankets... Ugh... Mu Jin felt a little disgusted with herself; her brother and Mu Yan had said, "A doctor sees no gender."
Mu Yan then came up and asked Mu Jin if she needed any help. Mu Jin composed herself and said no, then began to focus on cleaning the man's wounds.
The man's wound had some oozing, necrotic flesh that had to be scraped away with a red-hot knife before it was stitched up. She then sprinkled the medicinal powder she had prepared onto the man's wound.
Because of the excruciating pain, Mu Jin could feel the man's body trembling instinctively, but he still bit his lip and didn't make a sound while unconscious.
It took Mu Jin another half hour to finish applying medicine all over the man's body, bandage the wound with gauze, and feed the man a few hemostatic pills before she stood up, looking somewhat tired.
Mu Yan stood beside Mu Jin, watching in astonishment as she treated the man. He was filled with amazement, thinking, "Is this really the sister he knows? Her healing skills can't be learned overnight. What has Mu Jin been through?"
Mu Yan watched as Mu Jin walked to the sink beside him, lathered up the soap with soap, and carefully washed the dirt off her hands. After washing her hands, she turned to him and said...
"Brother, the bleeding on this person has stopped, and he should wake up tomorrow morning."
Mu Yan snapped out of his daze when he heard Mu Jin speak to him. He quickly grabbed a clean towel and wiped Mu Jin's hands, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, A-Jin."
Seeing that Mu Yan had just been stunned, Mu Jin didn't take it to heart and continued, "Brother, what are your plans for dealing with this man next? After all, we're returning to the capital tomorrow."
Mu Yan walked to the man's bedside and looked at the unconscious man. Even though the man was in such a sorry state due to serious injuries, his own demeanor still made him appear noble and unapproachable. His palms had thin calluses from years of handling weapons.
Mu Yan had a feeling that the man in front of him was not an ordinary street resident.
Mu Yan replied to Mu Jin, "It would be good if we could save his life. When he wakes up tomorrow, leave him some silver and let him leave on his own."
Mu Jin nodded and said, "Judging from the thin calluses on his palms, he must be a martial artist. Ordinary people can't hurt him unless he's being chased by enemies. His martial arts skills must be quite good, and he must be a person with a very strong will."
Mu Yan nodded, surprised that Mu Jin's words were exactly what he had just thought.
Seeing Mu Jin's tired face, Mu Yan felt sorry for her and blamed himself, saying, "You've worked hard, Jin. I'll take you back to your room to rest now."
Mu Jin returned to her room, quickly took a shower, climbed into bed to rest, and soon fell asleep.
In her dream, Mu Jin was running wildly through the forest, with two men chasing after her, laughing lewdly. She ran and ran until she suddenly reached the edge of a cliff, lost her footing, and fell to her death, crying out incessantly as she plummeted to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Jin dreamed that she was sinking in a vast ocean, with icy seawater filling her nostrils, and her hands and feet were struggling.
Gradually, she found it increasingly difficult to breathe: "No!" Mu Jin was startled awake by the scene in her dream. She covered her chest with her hands and gasped for breath.
Just then, someone knocked on the door: "Ah Jin, get up! Breakfast is ready. We'll eat first so we can head back to the capital."
Mu Jin turned to look out the window and found that it was already bright outside. It turned out that she had just had a dream.
She replied to Mu Yan outside the door, "Brother, go eat first, don't wait for me. I'll come down to find you after I've washed up."
After washing up, Mu Jin and Mu Yan ate breakfast in the dining hall.
At this moment, the courier who had served the injured man yesterday came over and said, "General Mu, I have something to report."
Mu Yan said to the courier, "Please speak!"
The courier reported to General Mu: "The man has woken up, but he seems to have no memory of his name or where he came from."
