He was completely focused on Xiao Mingzhan, and only then did he remember the big cut on his arm, and the pain started to come over him.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes in winter, which blocked most of the damage. The wound looked scary, but it was actually just a skin injury and the bleeding had stopped on its own.
Seeing that the condition was indeed not serious, Doctor Ling hurriedly examined Xiao Mingzhan.
He squatted down and looked at Xiao Mingzhan, whose face was as pale as paper and unresponsive, and felt very distressed.
After removing the quilt, it was difficult to feel his pulse as his wrist was bandaged, so Gu Xinran had to lay him flat and feel his pulse in his neck.
The pulse is weak but relatively steady. There is no problem for the time being. It is even much milder than the symptoms after the poisoning in the past.
Doctor Ling's eyes were red and he cried with joy, "Yes, Grandpa Ling, thank you for saving Ming Zhan. You handled it very well."
At this time, Xiao Ba came and exclaimed loudly, "Xinran, Master, you finally showed up!"
Rushing to the two of them, he saw that Gu Xinran had an injured arm and was half-holding his master, so he hurried over to help.
Gu Xinran's hand really hurt, so she asked Xiao Ba to do it for her.
She looked around and saw that this place had nothing. She had to make a nest for Xiao Mingzhan so that he could have a good rest. Fortunately, she had wrapped him in a large quilt.
They fled into the cave in a hurry, and it was a blessing that they were able to save their lives. Fortunately, Mother Gu was thoughtful and prepared three large backpacks for her.
The others were attracted by Xiao Ba's exclamation and surrounded the two of them happily.
Gu Xinran asked Xiaomei to bring her backpack and said to Doctor Ling, "The smell of blood is too strong here. Let's find a cleaner place to change Brother Xiao's clothes and spread a blanket for him to rest. I have clothes and bedding in my backpack."
Doctor Ling nodded and took them to another branch cave ten meters away.
Gu Xinran pulled out two quilts from the backpack, put them on the thatch where they rested, put a pillow on them, took out the clothes that Grandma Gu and Mother Gu had prepared for Xiao Mingzhan, and gave them to Doctor Ling.
After doing all this, he whispered, "Be gentle when you change clothes!"
Doctor Ling assured her not to worry, saying that he was experienced in taking care of Xiao Mingzhan. He left Xiao Ba, who had all his limbs intact, as his assistant, and everyone else left.
Seeing that Gu Xinran had finished her work, Xiaomei pulled her to an empty corner, pressed her to sit on a clean stone, and helped her treat her wound in the flickering light of the torch.
He also complained: "You only know how to help the master heal his injuries, but you don't even look at your own arm. It's such a big cut, I'm afraid it will leave a scar."
Listening to Xiaomei's mumbling, Gu Xinran felt a warm feeling in her heart. The people around her treated her so well.
Gu Xinran took out his own medicine, smiled, and let Xiaomei talk and bandage him, occasionally making a "hissing" sound, which made Xiaomei breathe heavily in pain.
Xiaomei glanced at her curiously while bandaging the wound. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Little Master, how did you manage to calm the Big Master down? You guys are amazing! You appear and disappear like ghosts!"
The wounded a few meters away also pricked up their ears to listen to the answer.
This question is really impossible to answer, and she herself is still confused.
I could only bluff him for now, "Well, this is a long story. It concerns the secret of your master. I can't tell you without his permission."
It's best to push the unresolved issues onto Xiao Mingzhan, and this matter really has something to do with him.
When they heard that it was the master's secret, their curiosity was instantly suppressed.
After bandaging the wounds, Gu Xinran expressed concern for the injuries of the secret guards: "How are you? There is a lack of medical care and medicine in this mountain area. I'm afraid it won't be easy to recover."
Xiaomei answered for them: "Xiaoba just gave everyone a pill of the magic medicine you gave them, and their injuries have stabilized."
Gu Xinran secretly praised Xiao Ba for his magnanimity. Those who protected Xiao Mingzhan with their lives were all heroes in her heart.
Gu Xinran walked up to them, took out five small porcelain bottles from his sleeve pocket, and gave one to each of them, namely, Er, Si, Wu, Liu and Xiaomei.
"You've worked so hard protecting Big Brother Xiao. This is the medicine you all took, Xiao Bafen. It's top-grade ginseng and antler pills. I'll give each of you a bottle. It can save your life in a critical moment."
Xiaomei knew that Gu Xinran was generous, but she didn't expect him to be so generous. He bought several bottles of these hard-to-find pills at a time. He really wanted to treat everyone well.
I immediately kneel down to express my gratitude.
Gu Xinran grabbed her and said, "Sister Xiaomei, we are family, don't be so formal."
Two, four, five, six. Having just witnessed the miraculous effect of this medicine, I hurriedly put it away as a treasure and struggled to get up to say thank you.
Gu Xinran quickly stopped them, "Don't move, lie down and rest."
I saw them lying on the thin hay. It was so damp and cold in the cave. How could they recover from their injuries?
He dragged out a backpack and, under the cover, took out three quilts from the space, letting them use one as a cushion and two as covers, so that the four of them could squeeze together.
After taking it, he asked, "This is a difficult situation. Have you sent anyone for help?"
Qi Er replied respectfully, "Commander Qi has gone to Jinzhou Prefecture to ask for help. However, it would take at least three days to get there even if we rode at top speed. Reinforcements will arrive in a few days. I hope Brother Falcon is not injured."
It's really difficult. It's not a good idea to wait here. There's nothing we want. It's better to stay in Qingshan Village. At least food and drink are guaranteed.
Gu Xinran glanced at the four secret guards. "What a pity!" She had to get them some food to replenish their energy.
He opened the backpack again and took out a large clay pot, fine rice, roe deer meat, and cabbage. He cooked some porridge and took out a few packets of snacks to fill their stomachs.
Then he took out a few bamboo cups and a large water bag and asked Xiaomei to pour each of them a cup of diluted spiritual spring water.
Gu Xinran smiled and said, "You guys eat something first. I'll prepare the porridge. Sister Xiaomei, can you help me get some firewood?"
Several people thanked him again. They hadn't eaten for a whole day. They were nervous and in severe pain before and had no time to care about their stomachs. Now they realized how hungry they were.
Xiaomei nodded and left.
At this time, Doctor Ling and Xiao Ba came over to help Xiao Mingzhan change his clothes.
Seeing that Doctor Ling looked so haggard, Gu Xinran felt very distressed and quickly poured him a cup of diluted spiritual spring water.
"Grandpa Ling, please drink some water and eat something. Brother Xiao is getting better, so don't worry."
Xiao Ba poured himself a glass without hesitation.
Doctor Ling gave a tired smile, "Okay, thank you, Ran."
After saying that, he gulped down the whole glass of water in one gulp and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Excellent, Ran girl, your water is unique. It makes my fatigue go away after drinking it. It would be even better with a glass of wine."
Gu Xinran thought to herself, what a lovely and respectable old drunkard. Seeing how hard he works, she must satisfy him.
He searched the backpack and found a small jar of Ganoderma lucidum wine and a bag of dried meat.
"Although Lingzhi wine is delicious, you should not drink too much."
Doctor Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. He opened the lid and poured wine into the cup that had just been used to drink water. The aroma of wine soon filled the air.
Gu Xinran heard the sounds of people swallowing their saliva around her. Xiao Ba didn't dare to ask for the wine in Doctor Ling's hand, and he knew he couldn't get it.
Looking at Gu Xinran, he said resentfully, "Xinran, have you forgotten something? You still owe me something."
