In the evening, they finally arrived at Lu City just as they were closing the city gates. The large group went directly to the reserved inn.
The conditions here were tough, so there was no place for important guests to stay. The inn that had been prepared for them was a bit shabby, but it was already the best in the area.
Du Xiaoli helped Han Mingxiang to her room, telling Bi’er to take care of her. She took Xia Yuan with her to check on the injured.
“Princess, I have already gone ahead and asked all the doctors in the city to come here, and all the available medicine has been brought,” Fang Guo said.
“The resources of the border city are already scarce to begin with. Other than those who are seriously injured, this medicine does not need to be given to those with minor injuries,” Du Xiaoli.
“Princess, even if they have minor injuries, if they continue to bleed, it can still be life-threatening!” A doctor nearby explained, thinking Du Xiaoli didn’t understand anything.
“I know. You all go and deal with the ones who have serious injuries, we’ll deal with the ones who have light injuries. I will stop the bleeding and treat their injuries.” Du Xiaoli a.s.sured.
“Princess, you practice medicine?” That old doctor asked.
“I know some.” Du Xiaoli smiled lightly, “Xia Yuan, let’s begin.”
“Yes, Mistress.” Xia Yuan took out Du Xiaoli’s silver needles and helped her put on gloves, then a.s.sisted her from the side.
Those doctors saw that Du Xiaoli wasn’t very old. Afraid that she would “heal people to death,” they were about to go and stop her, but then they saw her insert the silver needles. Very quickly, the wounds stopped bleeding!
“The art of silver needles!” A doctor watched Du Xiaoli with surprise.
“Everyone go and heal those who are wounded first.” Xia Yuan reminded them, seeing that they were all gathered around, shocked by Du Xiaoli’s medical skills and forgetting the injured.
“Ah, we will go now.” The doctors came back to their senses.
Du Xiaoli tried to increase her speed as much as possible without sacrificing accuracy. Other than those who only needed to be simply bandaged, there were still dozens of injured people who needed her help. By the time she had finished treating them, one by one, it was already late at night.
“No, at this rate he"ll die tomorrow!” Just as she was about to take off her gloves, an argument erupted from the other side of the room.
“But even if this is done, he definitely can’t live through the night!” Another doctor said.
Du Xiaoli walked over and asked, “What"s wrong?”
The two doctors already knew of Du Xiaoli"s medical skills. Seeing her walk over, they said, “Princess– this soldier"s wound, no matter what, we can"t stop it from bleeding.”
“Was there no medicine applied?” Du Xiaoli came over to the soldier and inspected him. She could see that his abdomen has been slashed by a sword, from the left of his chest all the way to his right abdomen, almost running through his entire stomach. The slash wound was deeper, and the medicinal powder on the sides was stained red with blood.
“We treated him at the beginning, but that medicine could only ease the rate of bleeding. Otherwise he would have already bled to death.” One of the doctors said.
"This wound is too deep and too long. It has to be treated with external force, otherwise no amount of medicine will help.” Du Xiaoli said.
“Alas. We also know this, but this wound– alas!” The other doctor sighed. “Could it be that all he can do is wait for death?”
The doctors in Lu City were all generally very caring. Most of them stayed here in order to heal the wounds of the officers and soldiers. Now seeing a seriously injured soldier in front of them whom they couldn"t do anything about, this feeling clearly made both doctors miserable.
“No, just st.i.tch up the wound, put some wound medicine on it, and recuperate well later on.” Du Xiaoli said.
“St.i.tch, suture it?” The two doctors looked at Du Xiaoli in surprise.
“Yes, suture it.” Du Xiaoli nodded. Ignoring the two men"s shock, she instructed Xia Yuan to find a few needles and threads, sterilize them, and then give them to her.
Human life is the most valuable. Although the two doctors were surprised, they knew that this was the only way, so they a.s.sisted Du Xiaoli from the side, watching as she first inserted two needles in the body of the injured man, telling them that this was for paralyzing the pain nerves.
Although Du Xiaoli"s wording had specialized jargon they hadn"t heard before, they still understood the gist of what she meant.
When Du Xiaoli saw how seriously the two doctors were watching her, she thought that if she taught them the art of suturing, she wouldn"t have to watch the soldiers die when they encountered such a situation in the future, so she explained to the two doctors what to pay attention to while she was suturing.
The two doctors were not quack doctors. As she sewed up the man"s wound, the two of them also mastered a lot of what Du Xiaoli explained and demonstrated.
Du Xiaoli asked them to clean up the blood stains on the side of the wound for the soldier again, and then poured the wound medicine on the wound. This time the wound did not crack after rinsing off the medicinal powder, so the two doctors looked overwhelmingly happy.MoonWhisperer, skyrise"s Thoughts
