Chapter 569 - 568: Meng Chao

Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Meng Chao

Jin Xiuzhu directly said, "There’s a very tall mountain behind our village, Li Ao Village is right at the foot of that mountain, and it’s not very far from here."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi furrowed her brows even tighter.

The mountain behind Zhushan Village was the same one pointed out by the Divine Medicine Sect disciple at the time, the Divine Medicine Sect was just behind that mountain.

Seeing Yiyi’s face look somewhat worried, Hua Meixin couldn’t help but ask, "Yiyi, are you worried about that injured person? Actually, while we’re here, we could go and take a look."

Jin Xiuzhu had thought about this earlier, but was afraid Qian Yi and the others wouldn’t be willing, so he didn’t say much. Now, seeing Hua Meixin bring it up, he said, "Doctor Qian, there isn’t even a person who understands medicine in Li Ao Village. If possible, why don’t we go together and take a look then, saving a life is always a good deed."

Qian Yi naturally nodded, saying, "Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I was planning to go as well. Let’s eat quickly and then go over right after."

After they finished eating, under the leadership of Jin Xiuzhu, the group headed to Li Ao Village.

"Doctor Qian, let’s first swing by my father-in-law’s house to inquire about the situation and see where the injured person has been placed."

Qian Yi had no objections to this.

When they arrived at the Shi Family, Old Master Shi was quite puzzled, "Xiuzhu, what brings you here...?"

Jin Xiuzhu quickly explained their purpose, finally asking, "Dad, do you know where that person is from, or where they are now?"

Old Master Shi shook his head and said, "That person still hasn’t woken up, so we have no idea where he’s from. Right now, he’s at the village chief’s house. Since you want to help him with his injuries, come with me."

Jin Xiuzhu immediately nodded and then led Qian Yi and the group directly to the village chief’s house in Li Ao Village.

When the village chief of Li Ao Village understood their purpose, he was extremely pleased.

"That’s great, Village Chief Jin, please come and take a look quickly. This person is seriously injured. I was thinking of sending him to the town hospital, but it’s far, and I’m afraid he might not make it. Having you all come is truly a relief." Saying this, he hurriedly welcomed them in.

When Qian Yi and the others saw the bloodied man, they were all shocked at how severe his injuries were.

As soon as Yiyi saw the man’s clothes, she was certain—he was indeed a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect. But the man’s face was covered in grime and blood, making it impossible to see his features clearly, yet she felt he seemed somewhat familiar.

After Qian Yi took the man’s pulse, he said with a frown, "This person is severely injured and has lost too much blood. Quickly, remove his clothes and clean his wounds. I’ll start acupuncture to stop the bleeding. Hurry, move quickly."

At these words, Yiyi and the others immediately sprang into action.

Once they cleaned the blood off the man’s face, Yiyi realized he was indeed one of the Divine Medicine Sect disciples who had been with Lin Jing earlier. She remembered his name might be Meng... Meng Chao.

Recognizing the person in front of her, Yiyi’s expression changed.

This person had suffered such severe injuries to arrive here, but what about Fu Yun and Lin Jing and the others? They only went back to their sect; how could such a thing have happened?

At this moment, Yiyi suddenly recalled Fu Yun and Lin Jing’s odd behavior before they left. She suddenly realized they might have been saying their last goodbyes, fearing they wouldn’t return.

Thinking of this, Yiyi’s face looked troubled, and she suddenly became very worried—could it be that Fu Yun and his group might never come back?

Quickly shaking her head to dismiss these thoughts, Yiyi, while no one was looking, slipped a pill into Meng Chao’s mouth.

By this time, Qian Yi had completed the acupuncture on Meng Chao. He wrote a prescription and handed it to Jin Xiuzhu, saying, "Village Chief, quickly get these herbs; his injuries mustn’t be delayed."

Jin Xiuzhu nodded immediately and went to get the herbs.

The village chief of Li Ao Village asked hurriedly after Qian Yi was done, "Doctor, how are his injuries? Is he still in danger?"

Qian Yi frowned and replied, "It’s hard to say. His injuries are very severe; we’ll need to see if he can wake up tonight."

Upon hearing this, the village chief of Li Ao Village was tense, "What...What do we do then?" He deeply regretted bringing the man into his home. If the man didn’t make it, wouldn’t his family be cursed with bad luck?

Yet he couldn’t voice these thoughts aloud; it wasn’t like he could just send the man to another villager’s home. He could only pray for the man’s recovery.

Hearing Qian Yi’s words, Yiyi also felt worried.

She didn’t know if the medicine she’d just given Meng Chao would save his life.

Seeing Yiyi’s worried expression, Hua Meixin walked over and asked, "Yiyi, are you scared? Don’t worry, he’s badly injured, but it’s not that serious yet, so there’s no need to fear."

Yiyi felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and replied, "I’m not scared, just a little anxious."

"Sigh... I’m worried too, but when we become doctors, we’ll see so many partings and deaths, so it’s better to get used to it early. Otherwise, if you see someone dying in front of you, you might have nightmares for days. I thought about this when I was learning medicine, so when I see someone nearing death, though it’s scary, I can endure it."

Listening to Hua Meixin, Yiyi was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect such insight from the girl, and responded, "Alright, I’ll remember. Thank you."

Hua Meixin waved her hand, saying, "There’s nothing to thank me for."

About then, Jin Xiuzhu returned with the herbs, quickly prepared the medicine, and administered it to Meng Chao.

After completing these tasks, Qian Yi addressed the group, "Alright, now we wait for him to regain consciousness, but we don’t know when that will be, so those who can rest should do so. I’ll stay here to keep watch."

Yiyi immediately said, "Teacher, I’ll stay and keep watch with you."

Hearing this, Qian Yi did not refuse and nodded, "Alright, you stay."

Hua Meixin, seeing this, also raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I’ll stay too."

Seeing the other students wanted to volunteer, Qian Yi quickly made the final decision, "Alright, let Yiyi and Hua Meixin stay, the rest of you go rest."

The village chief of Li Ao Village, grateful for their help, said, "Doctor Qian, you don’t need to go back to Zhushan Village, just rest here with us."

Qian Yi considered for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

Then Zhu Tiantian and the others went to other villagers’ houses to rest with the village chief.

Yiyi sat by Meng Chao’s side, and after several hours, she suddenly saw his fingers move. Yiyi’s face lit up with excitement, "Teacher, it seems like he’s about to wake up."
