Upon arriving at the commune, Chu Xun led Li Xiyue into an inconspicuous house, clearly the secret base where Chu Xun and his group carried out their mission.
A kerosene lamp was lit inside the room, and Chen Yu was keeping watch over a seriously wounded young soldier.
"Li Zhiqing, you must save Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu was a wounded soldier named Wu Aiguo. He looked very young, but he was seriously injured and barely clinging to life.
Li Xiyue went to see his injuries; he was covered in blood and had severe internal injuries.
His injuries were so severe that they were beyond the scope of current medical care, so it's no wonder the hospital wouldn't admit him.
Fortunately, she had some newly developed internal injury medicine on hand. Li Xiyue took out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill for him to take, and then fed him anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medicine. After that, she used acupuncture to stop his bleeding.
After the bleeding stopped, we cleaned his wounds one by one, applied medicine, and bandaged them.
After finishing all that, Li Xiyue finally took his pulse.
The pulse was weak, but it was slowly recovering, which meant the medicine was working and the patient's life was saved.
Li Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "His life is saved, but he is seriously injured and needs to rest and recuperate."
Chu Xun and Chen Yu were both relieved.
They knew that with Li Xiyue around, Xiao Wu would be alright.
The three of them left the house, and Chen Yu reported the information he had gathered to Chu Xun, "Deputy Regiment Commander, I heard that Japanese soldier named Yamamoto mention something about a younger sister and a 'ghost needle,' and he also mentioned Li Zhiqing."
Ghost needle? Could it be the Thirteen Ghost Needles?
Li Xiyue wondered to herself, "My grandfather knows this medical skill. Could this be the reason why the other party wants to find my grandfather?"
Chu Xun patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, "Go and rest first, leave the rest to me."
He has already sent another group of people to secretly follow Yamamoto. Once they find his hideout, he will personally raid it and bring the people back.
Chen Yu had sustained a minor injury, but it wasn't serious. He had applied medicine, nodded, and turned to leave.
Chu Xun looked at Li Xiyue, who was full of doubt, and explained, "The person who arrested you is a Japanese soldier named Yamamoto. His target is not actually you, but your maternal grandfather, Comrade Liao Qingshan."
Li Xiyue guessed, "Did he seek out my grandfather because of the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate?"
The Japanese wanted the original owner's grandfather's unique skill, which is why they went to such great lengths to capture the original owner and lure his grandfather out.
The suppression of traditional Chinese medicine during this period was largely due to the machinations of these foreign devils. They coveted Chinese medicine and secretly stirred up trouble, causing national turmoil so that they could reap the benefits.
How many good traditional Chinese medicines and medical books have been smuggled abroad? This is a loss for the country and a loss for the nation.
"It should be, but his real purpose is uncertain."
Liao Qingshan was a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor with unique expertise. Whether the other party coveted Liao Qingshan's medical knowledge or had some other reason is unknown.
But whatever the reason, he would not let the Japanese succeed.
Li Xiyue thought for a moment and asked, "Was my maternal grandfather taken away and protected by your military?"
"yes."
The Japanese secretly arrested many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Their next target was Liao Qingshan, who had once saved my grandfather. So my grandfather asked the police to cooperate in the operation, to openly arrest Liao Qingshan, but in reality to protect him.
Li Xiyue was completely relieved. As long as the original owner's maternal grandfather was safe, she had no worries.
"So, when I was in the city, it was your military personnel who were secretly protecting me?" Li Xiyue asked again.
Chu Xun nodded.
Liao Qingshan was worried about his granddaughter Li Xiyue and asked his grandfather to protect her safety. The military also considered that if the Japanese could not find Liao Qingshan, they would look for Li Xiyue, so they secretly sent people to protect her.
