Yuan Ying wanted to call an ambulance.
But the man had no identification, and she was a high-profile public figure…
Yuan Ying hesitated for a moment, then quickly brought the medicine box, stripped off the man’s armor, his outer robe, and his undergarment.
Hiss—
He had several sword and knife wounds on his body, from different times, but all were torn open, two were swollen and inflamed, and several were still bleeding.
No wonder he had a fever.
Thanks to the ‘blessing’ of being injured every now and then while filming martial arts scenes, Yuan Ying skillfully took out hydrogen peroxide to rinse his wounds.
Si Hongjing woke up in severe pain.
He opened his eyes and saw Yuan Ying almost straddling him, holding a pile of unfamiliar instruments in her hand, and subconsciously wanted to resist.
“Don’t move, I’m helping you treat your wounds.”
Yuan Ying said, moving her hands quickly.
She disinfected his wounds, sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao powder to stop the bleeding and reduce swelling, wrapped them in sterile bandages, and then pried open a capsule and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing the man silently swallowing the medicine, his cooperative and trusting attitude made her very satisfied. She found other medicines and told him how to use them:
“You have to take anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs, don’t drink alcohol while taking the medicine, it can kill you if it’s serious.”
Si Hongjing silently stared at Yuan Ying the whole time. She seemed to have countless secrets, strange instruments, knew medical skills, and her gestures were very strange.
“So, why did you thank me?” Yuan Ying asked, meeting Si Hongjing’s gaze.
“Because if it weren’t for you today, Dongping Pass would have fallen.”
Si Hongjing said that the Jin Kingdom and the Great Qian Dynasty had been fighting for a long time. For decades, the border was constantly in turmoil, but they were evenly matched and no one could gain the upper hand.
However, General Xu Jing of Shuoguan betrayed the country, and the situation suddenly became tense. Dongping Pass was the last line of defense of the Great Qian Dynasty and must not be lost.
However, the court’s reinforcements and supplies had not arrived, and the soldiers had been saving money and food for more than a month and were very weak, making it difficult to compete with the Jin Kingdom.
Yuan Ying understood.
When Dongping Pass was about to fall, she, the immortal holding the ‘divine object’, suddenly appeared, scaring away the enemy and boosting morale.
After saying this, Si Hongjing’s dizziness had improved a lot.
He touched his forehead.
In just one incense stick of time, he no longer had a fever.
The wounds stopped bleeding, and the sharp pain was also reduced a lot.
“Thank you, girl, for treating me.”
Si Hongjing took out a money bag from his scattered belt and handed it to Yuan Ying.
Yuan Ying was not polite and took it and looked at it.
Five gold ingots.
“One is enough.”
She was not short of money, just taking an antique gold ingot as a souvenir.
However, Si Hongjing heard this but said with difficulty:
“I have another request, can you help me buy some medicine? The extra money from the consultation fee is a deposit. If there is a next time, I will make up the gold and silver to get the medicine.”
If the soldiers could use these medicines, the casualties caused by wound infections in the military camp could be greatly reduced.
“Okay, you can take these medicines back first, I’ll teach you how to use them.”
Yuan Ying saw the tragic war.
The bright and hopeful eyes of the soldiers kneeling on the ground to thank her were still in her mind.
Anyway, she had just terminated her contract with the brokerage company and had no announcements. She was idle anyway, so she might as well do some good deeds and accumulate merit.
Yuan Ying responded, and Si Hongjing finally showed a bit of excitement on his face.
He supported himself and stood up, and bowed to her with great respect:
“I thank you for the soldiers on the border. If you have any difficulties, I will do anything to help you.”
Yuan Ying looked at him, as if she had realized something.
So this is what a general who wholeheartedly serves the people and is willing to bend his spine and shed blood is like.
In contrast, the female general she played at the time did not have the deepness of planning and strategy, but instead pretended to be fierce and had stiff eyes.
She used exaggerated expressions to express the urgency and tragedy of the war, but lacked the calmness and composure that a general should have.
No wonder she was scolded by book fans to a Douban score of 2.5 at the beginning.
The soft morning light gradually passed through the window and fell into the room.
Si Hongjing was going back to the military camp.
Although he didn’t know the principle for the time being, the way back was fairly smooth. He opened the door of Yuan Ying’s house, and what he saw was his bedroom.
After Si Hongjing left, Yuan Ying opened the door again to try.
It was the small road in front of her house.
She simply didn’t go home to rest, but went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of medicine.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretic drugs, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc…
Yuan Ying directly bought several boxes, borrowed a small cart from the pharmacy to pull the goods back home, waiting for Si Hongjing to pick them up.
Then, she checked Si Hongjing’s identity.
There was indeed this name in history.
However, the few descriptions said that he was a ‘lone star’, ‘bloodthirsty god of slaughter’, and ‘rebellious traitor’.
Obviously, these words did not match the man she knew at all.
Maybe it was just a coincidence that they had the same name?
It seemed that she would have to go to the library to check the history of Daqian when she had time.
…
After Si Hongjing returned to his bedroom, he immediately went to the camp and called the medical officer.
The medical officer had been busy all night and had not closed his eyes. Hearing Si Hongjing’s summons, he thought that the general had a high fever, so he was so frightened that he trotted over, panting.
“These medicines, you follow me to learn how to use them.”
“Medicine?”
The medical officer was already half a century old, but he had never seen these strange-shaped medicines, and looked at the general suspiciously.
Si Hongjing did not explain, but carried the medicine box to the wounded soldiers’ camp.
He found a soldier with a wound infection and fever, and in the soldier’s somewhat dazed and fearful eyes, he pressed the medicine first according to the method taught by Yuan Ying, and then helped him treat the wound.
“Huh? It doesn’t seem to hurt so much!”
When hydrogen peroxide was used for disinfection, the soldier was sweating profusely from the pain.
But after Si Hongjing helped him completely treat the wound, he no longer felt pain, and even his spirit was much better.
Seeing this, the medical officer quickly touched the soldier’s forehead, and then exclaimed in shock:
“The fever has subsided! The wound has also stopped bleeding!”
“What kind of medicine is this?”
Everyone looked at Si Hongjing, their eyes full of desire for life.
As Daqian soldiers, they were not afraid of death.
But they were afraid of not dying on the battlefield, but dying aggrievedly in the camp, dying from wound infections.
“This is a medicine bestowed by the gods.” Si Hongjing said calmly, making people unable to help but believe, “There will be more medicines later.”
Now, the morale of the entire camp was boosted.
However, Si Hongjing knew that this was a gamble.
If he failed to get the medicine, the morale would only plummet.
But for some reason, Si Hongjing had a hunch that he and she would definitely have another day to meet.
And he always believed in his premonitions.
If the soldiers could recover quickly and reduce infection and fever, maybe they could really hold on until the food and grass arrived and defeat the Jin Kingdom scum.
Different from the constantly rising morale of Dongping Pass.
The Jin Kingdom fell into a brief chaos because of the news brought by the elite troops that the Great Qian had a divine descent.
“General, should we still attack the city on a large scale in five days? Because of the divine descent, the morale of the army is scattered now, and a forced attack may cause changes.” The Jin Kingdom’s deputy general looked worried.
“Explore the reality in the next two days, don’t force the attack. Colonel He, on the grounds of ‘confusing the army’…” The general made a neck-wiping gesture.
However, killing one person to warn others, although it blocked everyone’s mouths, still could not restore the scattered morale.
As Si Hongjing expected.
Yuan Ying’s appearance bought them a few days of rest and breathing time.
Dongping Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the soldiers could quickly recover their state, they could also fight against it.
On the night when he and the generals formulated many city defense plans, when Si Hongjing returned to the general’s mansion and opened the door again, he appeared in the courtyard of Yuan Ying’s house again.
