The old blacksmith exclaimed with a deploring tone, "Alas! Young Miss Gu told me that such a furnace of this size could only use two bellows at most! Who told you to use six? Isn"t this a death wish?"
Gu Jiao naturally explained matters needing attention when she pa.s.sed on this bellows technology to the old blacksmith, and the old blacksmith also told the people from the court everything without reservation.
"Why are you making decisions without consultation?" The old blacksmith was really vexed!
The deputy supervisor felt bitter. Wasn’t it because it was the idea of the Commandery Princess? The bellows were her invention, if she wanted to improve it, who would question her?
The way His Majesty looked at Gu Jinyu suddenly grew cold!
Gu Jinyu broke into a cold sweat all over. She toughened her scalp and said, "Nothing can go wrong with my design… Something else must have gone wrong…"
The deputy supervisor responded, "No, we all followed the princess’s blueprints strictly!"
Moreover, the bellows were very simple to operate. As long as it was connected correctly, there couldn’t be any operational error.
At this point, no one wanted to take the blame.
His Majesty turned to the old blacksmith and carpenter and said, "Old gentlemen, may you both go to the scene and have a look."
The old blacksmith and carpenter followed the deputy supervisor to the Ministry of Works, so did Gu Jinyu.
Large fire spread at the scene, and smoke was everywhere. It was a total mess.
The injured blacksmiths were carried out on a plank by the guards, their b.l.o.o.d.y appearance simply horrible to look at. Gu Jinyu only felt her stomach overturned. She covered her chest, turned around and vomited——
……
Gu Jiao was off from work today.
All four men in the family had gone to school, and the elderly woman had taken Old Chief out to play cards. She was alone at home, and she intended to spend half of her day in leisure, but she hadn"t been idle for a while when Little San came knocking at her door.
"Gu girl! Gu girl! Not good! Something big has happened!"
Gu Jiao said lightly, "Is Gu Chenglin not eating again, or is Gu Chengfeng defaulting on medical expenses again?"
"Neither!" Little San said in horror, "The furnace in the yamen of the Ministry of Works blew up!"
In the State of Zhao, there was no public hospital like in Gu Jiao"s previous life, and the imperial court had a limited number of physicians. The largest physician division was the Imperial Physician Bureau, which also had a small number of physicians, followed by the medical officers in the military camps, but such a slow remedy could not address the current emergency.
Generally, when this kind of emergency happened, the imperial court would recruit physicians from the major medical halls in the capital.
Miraculous Hands Hall was also within the scope of requisition.
Carrying her medicine chest, Gu Jiao went to the scene of the accident with Physician Song and two other physicians from their medical hall.
The scene was even more chaotic than Gu Jiao had imagined. From time to time, the wounded were carried out by guards in thick smoke from the collapsed smelting room. Physicians from other medical halls had already arrived and were treating several injured people.
Gu Jiao wasn’t in a hurry to treat people"s injuries. Instead, she took out cloth strips of various colors prepared in advance and handed them to the three physicians of Miraculous Hands Hall, "Do as I instructed you before."
"Yes!"
The three people nodded.
Minister Zhao was originally outside to do an inspection of the city"s defenses. When he heard that something had happened in the yamen, he rushed back, and beside him stood a young man with great bearing and honor.
The young man, garbed in brocade clothes, was of tall stature and grave and stern countenance. His appearance gave off the air of someone superior.
At this time, almost all the injured had been carried out; there were dozens of minor and serious injuries added together.
The physicians of various medical halls were treating the injured, but among this group of people, there were several physicians who behaved in a different way.
They were not busy treating patients, but briefly examining the patients first, then sticking cloth strips of different colors to them according to the severity of their injuries.
Patients with red cloth strips were in critical condition.
Patients with yellow cloth strips also had serious injuries, but were still conscious.
The green one was for patients with minor injuries.
They gave priority to patients with red cloth strips, then patients with yellow cloth strips, and finally patients with green cloth strips.
Compared with the chaotic performance of other medical halls, their side appeared methodical and orderly.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon, he found a patient with a black cloth strip.
He lay quietly on the floor as physicians came and went; no one seemed to care about his condition.
"Is he dead?" The young man asked.
Minister Zhao rushed over, checked the patient"s breathing through the nose with his hand, came back, and reported, "He seems to still have breath, but why is no one treating him?"
Minister Zhao expressed he didn"t understand the situation.
The old blacksmith and carpenter also joined the rescue. Although they didn’t have any clue when it came to medical art, they could still a.s.sist in getting people out of the ruins.
In the thick smoke, there was a small figure that couldn’t be ignored. It was a slender figure in a dark-colored dress, her cuffs were rolled up, revealing her creamy skinned wrist.
Her side face was as perfect as an exquisite jade, but there was a red birthmark on her left face.
Her bare hands were soaked in blood, but she was calm and composed, without the slightest panic or disgust in her eyes.
The young man looked at her fixedly, "Who is that?"
Minister Zhao replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, that is apparently the medical woman from Miraculous Hands Hall."
The young man murmured, "Miraculous, Hands, Hall."
The rescue operation at the accident scene was in full swing. At the same time, Gu Jinyu at the side was completely panicked.
She really didn"t expect the bellows she modified to create such a big accident. Dozens of people were injured, and more people kept being dug up from the rubbles.
At this moment, she was truly scared.
She didn"t dare to think about how His Majesty would hold her accountable.
It was as though she were standing under a dangerous wall, which could collapse at any moment!
Her whole body trembled.
Just as she was in a daze, she noticed the gravely injured man who had been labeled with black cloth strip.
As if she had seen a life-saving straw, she ran quickly to the injured person. She ignored all the ashes and blood on the ground, and regardless of how b.l.o.o.d.y and mangled the victim looked, she knelt down beside him.
"Over here! Is there a physician who can treat him?"
She cried out in despair, and along with it was her own inner hesitation. Her simple yet elegant clean skirt was stained with blood. She took out a clean white silk handkerchief and pinched it in her hand, then she bowed her head and carefully wiped the injured man clean.
"Physician! Physician!" She cried in a choked voice.
She was a good person, someone who wouldn’t disregard human life. She had a conscience and compa.s.sion!
She gritted her teeth and bellowed, "I"m the Commandery Princess! I command you people to save him!"
This place was the treatment area of Miraculous Hands Hall. Physicians in Miraculous Hands Hall were currently burying their heads in treating the patients at hand, so no one paid any attention to her.Raz P."s Thoughts
