Chapter 305 Becoming a Military Doctor
The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. The Donghai Island was shaking under the ravages of the tornado. The waves were slamming against the coast wildly, rolling up waves several feet high, and ruthlessly destroying the houses and trees on the island.
The residents of the island hid in dilapidated houses, shivering and listening in fear to the howling wind outside.
However, before they could recover from this terrible natural disaster, a greater crisis quietly approached.
A group of vicious pirates took advantage of the chaos on the island after the typhoon and drove a speedboat to the Donghai Island like vicious wolves.
Unlike before, these pirates came with more force this time, and their purpose seemed not just to rob property and women. They were armed with sharp blades and engaged in an extremely fierce battle with the garrison on the island.
Shouts and screams were intertwined, and blood dyed the beach red.
Faced with a critical situation, the garrison on the island was seriously short of troops, and even the prisoners who were exiled there were temporarily conscripted to serve as strong men in the hope of resisting the pirates' attack.
Chu Lingfeng was still weak from the previous poisoning and luckily escaped this brutal battle. He was assigned to the rear and took on logistical work with the female prisoners.
Murong Ling'er, with a group of children, was busy shuttling among the wounded soldiers. Her eyes were firm and gentle, and she kept opening and closing the medicine box in her hands, treating the wounds of the injured soldiers. Every movement was skillful and quick, showing the kindness of a doctor.
"Miss Murong, come quickly, General Chen is injured!" A soldier covered in blood stumbled over, his voice filled with anxiety and despair.
Murong Ling'er was treating a wounded soldier's thigh, which was cut bloody by a sharp blade. When she heard the shout, her hand paused slightly, then she quickly bandaged the wound and stood up.
At the same time, Chu Lingfeng also raised his head, and their eyes met in the air for a moment, as if conveying some complex emotions, and then they looked away.
"Miss Murong, come with me! The general has been stabbed in the chest by a pirate, and the military doctors are helpless. Go and take a look."
As the soldier spoke, he reached out to pull Murong Ling'er's arm. Murong Ling'er dodged lightly by turning sideways, and then walked quickly towards the military camp without hesitation.
Not far away, Chu Lingfeng looked at their departing backs, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
He called Murong Chen and Huo Zihao to his side and continued to watch over the big pot to boil medicine, but his mind involuntarily drifted to Murong Ling'er.
In the commander-in-chief's tent, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
General Chen, the highest-ranking general on Donghai Island, was lying on his back on the ground with his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper. A sharp sword pierced his heart straight through, and blood was still gushing out, staining the ground beneath him red.
There were two military doctors standing nearby, their faces full of anxiety and helplessness. When they saw Murong Ling'er being led in by the general's personal guards, a complex look flashed in their eyes, with doubt and a hint of expectation.
"Why did you find a woman? This is not a joke!" One of the older military doctors, Doctor Wang, couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, but he lowered his voice very low for fear of being heard by others.
The other military doctor, Chen, shook his head slightly and said nothing, but his face showed his disapproval. Although they looked down on a random woman, the two of them were cautious and did not say much.
It turned out that Li Yuan really had no other choice.
The general was seriously injured, and the wound was in the vital heart. The military doctors tried every possible way, but still could not stop the continuous flow of blood, and they did not dare to draw out their swords easily.
He had just heard from some fugitives that Murong Ling'er knew medicine, so with the mentality of trying everything, he called her over.
As soon as Murong Ling'er entered the tent, she took a few steps to the general's side without any hesitation.
She first quickly observed the general's injuries, her eyes calm and focused, then she quickly took action, tapping several acupuncture points around the general's heart with precise and powerful techniques.
Miraculously, the blood that had been flowing continuously gradually stopped.
This move suddenly brightened the eyes of the two military doctors who had been in despair. Even Li Yuan, who was holding on to a faint hope, looked over eagerly.
The three of them held their breath and stared at Murong Ling'er's movements, as if they were watching a miracle happen.
Murong Ling'er did not pull out the arrow immediately. She knew very well that the general's life was in danger and he would die if he was not careful.
She first took out an exquisite small jade bottle from her bosom, poured out a black pill, gently put it into the general's mouth, and then borrowed a sharp dagger from Li Yuan.
She took a deep breath, held the dagger firmly in both hands, and began to carefully cut the long arrow. Her movements were slow and firm, and each cut was extremely precise. The long arrow did not tremble at all.
This superb skill made the three people present look at her with admiration again.
Especially Li Yuan, he thought it would be difficult for him to be so steady and accurate, so he valued Murong Ling'er's ability more and more.
After cutting the long arrow, Murong Ling'er took out an ancient medicine bottle, uncorked it and placed it on the ground.
Then, before the three of them could react, she suddenly reached out, grabbed the broken arrow at an extremely fast speed, and pulled it out violently.
With a "puff", a large amount of blood gushed out, and the military doctor Chen who was closest to him was splashed all over.
"Hmm..." The unconscious General Chen groaned in pain, causing Li Yuan to exclaim in surprise.
Murong Ling'er was not in a hurry. She quickly sprinkled the prepared medicine powder on the wound where the skin and flesh were rolled up. As soon as the medicine powder came into contact with the wound, it took effect quickly and the bleeding stopped quickly.
She took the strip of cloth handed to her by Doctor Chen and bandaged the wound skillfully.
After doing all this, Murong Ling'er clearly heard three long sighs.
Doctor Chen was the first to reach out and feel General Chen's pulse. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face. After confirming that the general was out of danger, he looked at Murong Ling'er with admiration and gratitude: "This young lady, you are truly a miracle worker! May I know your name?"
"Doctor Chen, Doctor Wang, this is Miss Murong." As soon as Doctor Chen opened his mouth, Li Yuan remembered that he had forgotten to introduce her and hurriedly added.
"Well, Miss Murong is a very skilled doctor. I wonder if I can have a chance to ask Miss Murong for advice?" Doctor Chen said sincerely.
"I, Wang, also admire you very much and hope to have the opportunity to learn from Miss Murong in the future." Military Doctor Wang also quickly agreed.
"Thank you for your courtesy, military doctors. Ling'er is always at your service." Faced with the kind invitation from the only two military doctors on the island, Murong Ling'er smiled slightly and did not refuse.
Li Yuan carefully moved General Chen to the bed and tidied him up briefly. He thought for a moment and politely said to Murong Ling'er, "Miss Murong, you will stay in our camp from now on and serve as a military doctor alongside Doctors Chen and Wang! With your medical skills, you will surely be able to treat more wounded soldiers."
After seeing Murong Ling'er's medical skills, Li Yuan had the idea of keeping her. He did not look down on her because she was a woman. Instead, he treated her the same as the other two military doctors.
Murong Ling'er had anticipated this possibility before she came. As long as General Chen did not die before she took action, becoming a military doctor would be the best choice for her at the moment.
She nodded slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your trust, General. Ling'er will do her best."
