After the dark clouds had been dark for a long time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The Gansu Acropolis garrison wearing thick leather jackets hurried into the official hall and was greeted by four or five military attachés.
"It's getting colder and colder today." He sighed.
The little girl ran over from the side and handed over the stove.
"Sir, how are you? Is there any news from other places?" Everyone didn't bother to follow him and sigh about the weather, but asked one after another.
The guard shook his head and sat down.
"What the hell," he said, frowning. "There's no news anywhere."
Everyone immediately sighed and looked worried.
"Is the news about this prince accurate?" The guard asked again, "When did his wife set out? Why is there no one at all at this time?"
Everyone calculated the time.
"Oh, sir, the road has been rough recently, could it be..." Someone couldn't help but whisper.
This statement immediately aroused cheers.
"What words!"
"The Crown Prince's wife has many escorts when she travels, and the officials welcome her and see her off wherever she goes. How could she not be so discerning?"
Everyone reprimanded this crow's mouth.
That's true, Crow Mouth nodded repeatedly.
"Where did he come from and when did he come? Did he come to us or go somewhere else?" the guard said after pondering for a moment.
Chang Yuncheng is the deputy garrison general and military strategy general here, but given his family history and military achievements and the emperor's favor, naturally everyone will not treat him just as a military strategy general.
It is estimated that in about half a year, Chang Yunzheng will no longer be here and will work as a guard in an important town.
This time he went out to several places. Who knows if he will come here again during the Chinese New Year this year? If he ends up somewhere else, his wife will naturally follow him.
"The letter only said that the Crown Prince's wife was here, and nothing else." someone replied.
Everyone frowned again.
"Um, didn't it mean that the prince had reconciled?" Someone asked in a low voice, "Why is there another young lady?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"It's been a long time since we were divorced, so I can't marry another wife?" Shoubei coughed and waved his hand, "Don't say it's irrelevant. The prince will never mistake his wife by himself. He said she is.
Whatever it is is what it is.”
That's true, everyone nodded.
"It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared, no matter if she comes to our place or goes to stay somewhere else." The guard said, "The troops will go out to search, and the scope will be wider. Well, the prince is from Yongqing Mansion. According to
Go in that direction to pick him up, and the house is ready, cleaned, and decorated..." The guard said while making gestures. The elders couldn't say specific words, "It's the more luxurious one.
The women from Jiangnan are different from the ones here, they are very delicate... Also, the waiters are carefully selected..."
Everyone responded one after another and went about their business as told.
Groups of soldiers and guards were speeding past on the street, and passers-by were trying to avoid them.
Ah Hao waved his hands to disperse the non-existent dust to express his dissatisfaction.
"I don't know what I'm busy with running around all day!" she said.
"Of course, some people run when they are busy. Who doesn't want to rest when they have nothing to do?" Qi Yue said with a smile, wrapped her cloak tightly, and looked up at the sky. The scattered snowflakes had become flying all over the sky, falling on the tip of her nose, and instantly turned into water droplets.
.
It has been three days since she came here. Hu San finally found a suitable house. Today she is asked to check it out. If she is satisfied, she can pay a deposit and rent it.
"It's already November 23rd. Xiaoqu said that including the journey, the prince will be back in half a month at most, so it will be the twelfth lunar month. Madam, are we going to celebrate the New Year here?" Ah Hao twirled his fingers as he walked.
Calculation.
Qi Yue walked slowly on the street, her big hat covering her face and attracting less attention from those around her, but her low-key cloak still attracted a lot of attention.
Outsiders are outsiders, and you can tell at a glance.
"Of course." She said, "If the prince doesn't go home, we won't go home either. It's rare that I'm alone now and don't have to wait on my parents-in-law to take care of the house. I have money and leisure, so I can play hard."
He said that he liked playing Ah Hao the most, and he nodded hurriedly.
While they were talking and laughing, a man rushed towards me. He was walking fast and violently without looking at the road and bumped into him.
Qi Yue and Ah Hao couldn't avoid it and were knocked staggering.
Before she finished speaking, she heard the man roar angrily.
"Stop!"
Ah Hao was so frightened that he didn't even finish his words.
You want to be more aggressive after hitting someone? Qi Yue also looked back.
The man reached out and grabbed a tall and thin man.
"Qiao Minghua! Do you still have humanity?" he shouted.
The grabbed man turned his head.
Qi Yue saw that he was about thirty-two or thirty-two years old, with ordinary facial features. He didn't know whether it was because of the color here or something else, but his face looked gray. At this time, he was grabbed by the man's arm, and his face was expressionless.
"...My brother is going to die, and you still have the mood to go shopping and eat!" the man then shouted.
The man who was grabbed remained expressionless.
"It's not like I'm dead, why can't I go shopping and eat?" he said lightly.
The man was shaking with anger and raised his big fist. The people around him couldn't help but shrink their heads, but his fist did not fall.
"Qiao Minghua! You are a military doctor! Military doctor! Are you just going to watch my brother die?" he hissed, "Are you worthy of your salary?"
The man named Qiao Minghua smiled.
"I asked you to amputate his legs, but you didn't listen. I didn't send him to die, it was you who sent him to death," he said.
"Amputate his legs! He is a soldier! If you amputate his legs, he will become useless! He might as well be dead!" the man shouted.
Qiao Minghua raised his hand and pried away his hand holding his arm.
"So, it's all about death, why are you anxious?" he said.
After saying that, he turned around and walked on.
"Qiao Minghua!" The man shouted angrily from behind, his body trembling but unable to do anything.
If you are a soldier, then there is nothing you can do about it. Soldiers are naturally easily injured. It is better to encounter Dongnu here and there. But when it is really a large-scale fight, it will be miserable. People here are used to it.
, everyone just looked at him with sympathy, shook their heads and sighed and dispersed.
The snow was falling harder and harder, and the people on the street quickened their pace. The man seemed to be standing there unconsciously, letting the snowflakes fall all over his body.
"This big brother."
A voice sounded behind him.
The man remained motionless.
"I am also a doctor. I wonder if you still remember me?" the female voice continued.
The man slowly turned around and saw a woman wearing a fur cloak with beige gold trim standing in front of her. At this time, she was slightly lifting her big hood with her hands, revealing her crystal clear eyes shining like the moon in the cold river.
That day Qi Yue was covered with a veil, so no man could recognize her.
"We met at the city gate three days ago. You said you wanted to see a doctor, but you refused because I was a woman." Qi Yue said with a smile.
The man remembered, looked at her, and seemed a little surprised. But what made him realize was that it was no wonder that this woman was wearing a veil and looked weird that day. It turned out that she didn't want to avoid people with her appearance.
He lowered his head and stopped taking steps.
"Brother, since your brother can't hire anyone else to diagnose and treat you, why don't you let me try? It's not about giving me a chance, it's about giving your brother a chance." Qi Yue said, "You have nothing to lose. It's not good to see.
I don’t want money.”
The man stopped and looked at Qi Yue again.
Could such a beautiful woman be a doctor?
He thought again about that day when the man he mistakenly thought was a doctor called this woman...Master...
When Aru heard the news and came over with a medicine box and Xiaoqu, Qi Yue was already standing in front of the family's alley.
The house was short and old, and even in the winter, there were children wearing single clothes running away from the alley, hiding behind the dilapidated door and looking at her tremblingly.
"Come in, here." The man opened a door and said.
Qi Yue stepped forward, followed by A Ru and Xiao Qu.
The yard was also dilapidated, so they went straight into the house.
An old woman in the room was crying on the bed, and turned around when she heard the noise.
"Dachun, have you hired a doctor?" she asked in a trembling voice.
The man called Dachun hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Yue, lowered his head and hummed.
The old woman was overjoyed and her eyes fell on Qi Yue and others. Although she didn't know what these two women were doing, she still saluted Xiaoqu respectfully.
"Doctor, doctor, please save my child quickly," the old woman cried.
Xiao Qu looked embarrassed.
"I'm not a doctor, I'm not a doctor." He waved his hands and said.
The old woman was stunned for a moment.
Not a doctor? She was busy looking at Dachun, who was looking at the woman.
The old woman also looked over and saw that the woman was already standing beside her grandson's bed.
"Where is the discomfort?" Qi Yue asked, putting on gloves.
"The legs...the legs are going to rot, and the person can't survive..." Dachun said.
Qi Yue had already seen Bing on the bed. He was Bing here and there, he was still a half-grown child.
She leaned over for a physical examination.
The old woman was stunned.
"This, this woman is a doctor?" she asked stammering.
Dachun hummed.
"How can a woman be a doctor?" the old woman shouted, looking at Qi Yue in shock.
"A woman can also be a doctor." Qi Yue turned around and smiled at her.
This woman's smile is very beautiful, and the most important thing is that she doesn't dislike it.
Regardless of whether it could be cured or not, the old woman immediately became frightened.
The room was quiet for a moment, only Qi Yue and A Ru were talking about their illness, and no one could understand what they said.
"How is it?" Dachun asked tremblingly.
"No problem, it's an infection caused by an old hematoma in the left calf." Qi Yue said, opening the medicine box and glancing at a pile of tools, "Just do a debridement and an injection of penicillin, and it'll be fine."
No problem? What does no problem mean?
Dachun and the old woman were both stunned.
"Don't you need to amputate your legs?" Dachun asked in a trembling voice.
Qi Yue looked down at the injury.
"It's serious, but with penicillin, we should just do a debridement." She said, looking around, "Here, you guys step back a little, and I'll do a minor surgery on him."
What is surgery?
Although full of doubts, seeing the woman's confident demeanor, Dachun helped the old woman and backed away obediently.
Here Aru started anesthesia, elevated the left hip, and laid out surgical drapes.
These simplest surgical instruments are already prepared in the medicine box, which is enough for two or three times.
Seeing the knife cut open her leg, the old woman couldn't help but scream.
"This is surgery and treatment. Please don't disturb the doctor." As Qianjintang's pseudo-handyman, Xiaoqu did a good job of explaining.
Dachun was a soldier, so he wasn't too irritated by flesh and blood. Seeing the woman's skillful movements and focused expression, he nodded, supported the old woman and said a few words of comfort.
As expected, the old woman living on the border had a stronger spirit than the calm mainlanders. She soon stopped questioning and the scene became quiet.
The hematoma was cut open, the fluid accumulation and necrotic tissue were removed, the cyst cavity was flushed, the bleeding was stopped, drainage was sutured, and the operation was completed in half an hour.
Ah Ru was injected with penicillin.
"Okay, wipe his forehead or something, and the temperature will probably cool down in the next half day. You can find a doctor to prescribe some medicine, and he will be fine after two days of treatment." Qi Yue said, taking off his gloves.
What? It’s okay?
The old woman and Dachun looked at her in disbelief. They didn't pay attention to anything else, but these three words were all in their ears.
"Wait, then give me the medical fee." Qi Yue looked at them and smiled, "I live in..."
When she said this, she realized that she didn't know where she lived and was busy looking at Aru.
"The third store on the east side of Dry Well Lane in Xicheng City," Aru said hurriedly.
After the courtyard door was closed, the old woman and Dachun stared blankly at the street door for a moment, then looked back at the bed in the house.
Didn't you originally say that you can prepare for funeral arrangements in the second half of the day?
Will it really get better in the next half day?
What happened?
Was it a dream?
They looked into the yard again. Snow was falling rapidly, covering their footprints, as if no one had ever been there.
