10. Spies
The north wind outside the window blew the fallen tree trunks into a yard full of residual branches, Lin Xiangyi leaned on the kang alone, looking at the little soldier cleaning the yard outside the window in a daze. Since she was brought here by Brigade Commander Chen half a month ago, she has been dedicated to curing diseases and saving people.
"Doctor Lin, the chief is awake." The window was slammed, and Lin Xiangyi shouted outside with a smile, "Little Niu, I've told you hundreds of times, if you don't enter the door, why do you always like to knock on the window, people will be scared to death by you." โ
"I forgot." The little cow scratched his head embarrassedly, Lin Xiangyi shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and got off the kang.
Xiao Niu's big name is Wang Erniu, he is only fifteen years old, because his parents were killed by the Japanese army, he has been following Brigade Commander Chen who saved him, and after Lin Xiangyi came, he was sent to be Xiangyi's hand and help her. And Xiang Yi also likes his simple appearance, there is no bad heart, and he will be more comfortable getting along.
Lin Xiangyi picked up the infusion bottle filled with hot boiled water from the kang and stuffed it into Wang Erniu's hand when he went out.
"Doctor Lin, you take it, I'm not cold." Wang Erniu hurriedly returned the hot water bottle stopper to Lin Xiangyi.
"What are you talking about, your hands are red from the cold, let you hold it." Lin Xiangyi herself is not afraid of the cold, she is fine with a kang in the house, but as long as she goes out, she will be lucky to protect against the cold.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin." Wang Erniu saw that Lin Xiangyi looked stubborn, so he unceremoniously held the hot water bottle in his arms, "Doctor Lin, can the chief's illness be cured?" โ
"If I had been asked to have surgery before, it wouldn't have been long before I could. Now I can only take care of it slowly, and when the body of the chief of the spring can withstand an operation, I have to take out the shrapnel that has not been completely removed. Lin Xiangyi didn't have a good breath, "Where did you find a doctor, you dare to operate on the chief at any level!" โ
As soon as he mentioned his first patient in the true sense, the nitpicking in Lin Xiangyi's personality was revealed. The doctor before was already the best they could find, and even more, he was much more famous than Lin Xiangyi, if he hadn't been killed by a grenade when he was transferred to the field hospital, Lin Xiangyi would have nothing to do.
But Lin Xiangyi is not only a young Chinese and Western medicine doctor now, she is also a highly talented alchemist, and now that all three talents are combined, this vision is naturally high. Looking at someone worse than himself, he is naturally uncomfortable in his heart.
Wang Erniu saw that his words made Dr. Lin angry again, and he didn't dare to speak more, and followed her in a hurry.
"Why does Dr. Kobayashi look unhappy?" Senior Liu was half leaning against the wall, still holding a book that had just been opened, and when he saw Lin Xiangyi coming in, he joked with a smile.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Xiangyi's brows wrinkled unconsciously, the smell of medicine in the house was not quite right, and there was an extra smell of medicine.
But she didn't say anything, and looked at Master Liu on the kang quietly: "Did the chief feel uncomfortable today?" โ
Lin Xiangyi doesn't know that she has changed a lot invisibly, and now she lives a life with taste and purpose, and every day is very fulfilling. The people around her were very kind to her, and she reciprocated. The whole person looks a lot more alive.
"It's just a little hard of breath, but everything else is fine." Senior Liu looked at Lin Xiangyi and said, "Doctor Xiaolin, when will I be fine?" โ
"This has to be raised slowly, in a few days, I will go into the mountains to find some medicinal materials to make medicine, the medicinal materials are ready, as soon as the weather is hot, we will do surgery." I promise that after the operation, the chief will continue to do whatever he wants. "Lin Xiangyi has not many medicinal materials available in his hands now, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the army, so he has to transport them from other places, which also has to go through the enemy's layers of checkpoints, and he found that the medicinal effect is not enough, Lin Xiangyi has no choice but to choose a slightly warmer day and go to the mountains to try his luck.
"Really?" Master Liu looked at Lin Xiangyi very unexpectedly and said, "The previous doctors said that the bullet grazed the heart, and I am afraid that in the future, I will fall into the root of the disease and cannot exercise vigorously." โ
"I never tell lies." Lin Xiangyi said as he put Senior Commander Liu's wrist on the palm of his left hand, and began to check the pulse with his right hand, "Now that Senior Commander's body is too weak, the previous operation was done too hastily, and when your body is healed, I have to personally operate on it and completely take out the fragmented shrapnel." โ
"If you want me to talk about a gadget, as long as it doesn't affect much, don't take it." Senior Commander Liu said indifferently.
"How can you not take it? That thing is a โกโก. Lin Xiangyi looked at Master Liu with disapproval and said, "Isn't it because other doctors say that the risk of surgery is too high, and the chief doesn't believe me?" โ
"Why are you in a hurry again?" Master Liu glanced at Lin Xiangyi helplessly, and felt that she was good at everything, that is, as long as someone doubted her medical skills, she was not happy, he still remembered that Lin Xiangyi had just arrived, and the attending doctor he had temporarily found before said that she was far from a milk doll, and she actually cleaned up the house, and now the doctor walked around when he saw her.
"Chief, I don't like you the most that a patient doesn't believe me." Master Liu is more than 20 years older than Lin Xiangyi, just like an elder, and he is Lin Xiangyi's first patient.
"Are you really sure?" To put it bluntly, Master Liu is also afraid that if the Tartars are not removed, he will be gone. This is a very painful thing for a general who has been fighting all year round.
"Of course." Lin Xiangyi didn't have a good air, "If I had done the operation at that time, I guarantee that the chief would have been able to go to the front line to command." What kind of doctor did he dare to say that he came back from Liuyang, and I was ashamed of him. โ
"What a child's temper." Master Liu looked at Lin Xiangyi and said, "You get me some more medicine, otherwise I won't be able to breathe well at night and it will be difficult to sleep." โ
"No need to use medicine, I'll give the chief acupuncture later, to make sure you won't feel uncomfortable anymore." Lin Xiangyi folded the quilt for Master Liu, and said to Wang Erniu who was standing at the door, "Go to my room and bring my set of gold needles." โ
As soon as Wang Erniu went out, Lin Xiangyi straightened his face.
"Chief, who have you seen today?" As soon as Lin Xiangyi finished the pulse, she sensed that something was wrong, but because Wang Erniu was there, she didn't say anything, which would take him away, so Lin Xiangyi carefully asked Master Liu who he had seen today.
"But what's wrong?" Senior Commander Liu is a person who has experienced a hundred battles, seeing Lin Xiangyi like this, what else does he not understand, he is busy thinking carefully about the person he saw today, "You have been there in the morning, and after you went back after lunch, I slept for a while, and after waking up, I saw Lao Chen, and I never saw anyone else." โ
"Brigade Commander Chen will never be, and there is nothing wrong with Erniu." Lin Xiangyi excluded these two people first, "Chief, think about who else has entered your room today." There is a smell of medicine on the chief's body, if people who don't know about Chinese medicine will definitely not be able to smell it, the chief has been drinking medicine every day these days, even if it is mixed with other medicinal smells, it is difficult to be discovered. But even this medicine is damaging to your body, which is very detrimental to your heart's recovery. It wasn't there when I came in the morning, so it must have been after I left, you think about it. โ
"Xiao Li in the cooking class, and my guard pony." Division Commander Liu had a very bad expression on his face, he never thought that there would be enemy spies on his own territory.
"Ponies?" Lin Xiangyi immediately locked the target on this stranger, "Why haven't I seen this pony?" โ
"Some time ago, there were not enough people, so I sent him out to do things, and he just came back today." Division Commander Liu mentioned that he still trusted his guards very much, "This pony has been following me since the Long March, and it has been more than six years, and if he wants to harm me, he will kill him a long time ago." Could it be that you smell it wrong? The smell of medicine in my room is very strong these days, and it is normal to be able to mix it. โ
"Chief, I've been smelling Chinese medicinal herbs since I was a child, and if I can smell it wrong, then what kind of doctor should I be." Lin Xiangyi looked at Master Liu very sternly and said, "Please don't doubt my professionalism." โ
"And you suspect my guards?" Master Liu said.
Lin Xiangyi nodded and said, "Not only him, but also the cook Xiao Li is also suspicious." But the chief's guard was the most suspicious, and as soon as he came back the chief was uncomfortable, which made me have to be suspicious. โ
"But there is also a possibility that this cook, Xiao Li, deliberately set up a maze to confuse us." Lin Xiangyi didn't wait for Master Liu to speak, and said his other guess, "The effect of this medicine is very short, as long as the chief's room is ventilated, it won't take long to disperse, so if someone with a plan wants to achieve their wishes, they must be able to enter the chief's room often, one of them is a guard, and the other is a cook who runs here for three meals, both of them have this motive." โ
"You're right." Senior Commander Liu nodded and said, "This time it's thanks to you." โ
"That's my job." Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, and was about to say the next sentence, when he heard Wang Erniu's footsteps not far away, and hurriedly said, "Chief, this matter is confidential, I will privately tell Brigade Commander Chen to investigate, it is not appropriate to make a noise now." Erniu has a simple mind and is easy to be talked about, so it is inconvenient for him to know about this. โ
"I want to see which side wants my life." Senior Commander Liu's face was frosty.
"I'm here, and if I want your life, it's up to me to say yes." The first time he saved someone, someone made a stumbling block for himself, and the anger in Lin Xiangyi's heart was not much less than that of the victim of Master Liu.
"Dr. Lin, here you go." Erniu handed Lin Xiangyi's box containing gold needles to her.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Xiangyi took the box with a smile, the golden needles in it were still the ones she asked Brigade Commander Chen for two gold bars to refine with purple fire, and the needles that had been tempered by purple fire could withstand the soul power in her body, otherwise it would not be able to achieve that effect with ordinary gold needles.
"This is the needle that Lao Chen gave you a few days ago to quench from the two gold bars?" This set of needles is also the first time to use it today, and Master Liu looked at it with some suspicion, "I was very distressed when I heard that he gave it to you." โ
"Yes, but I also said that I would return it to him, and when I have the opportunity to go to the place where I had hidden my luggage and pick it up, and go to the bank to open a safe, I will return the gold bars to Brigade Commander Chen. I don't take advantage of the public. "Lin Xiangyi is not short of money, when he first went to Hong Kong, all the property of the Lin family except for the ancestral hall and the old house was sold by Lin Chaozong and handed over to Lin Xiangyi, and now in addition to going to school, the rest are all stored in the bank. And in the suitcase she hastily hid before, there was the key to the bank safe.
"His money was sent in by anti-Japanese capitalists, and it was originally used to buy arms, if it wasn't for the urgency you wanted, I think he would be reluctant to give you two sticks." Master Liu explained.
"Huh?" Lin Xiangyi really didn't know about this, "Then I'll get it another day, and the matter of this arms can't be delayed." โ
