Chapter 39: The Hospital
Dai Lao's residence is not far from the north city gate, which was originally a few dwellings, and now the courtyard walls of several places have been opened up and become a temporary medical hall.
After getting out of the carriage and entering the courtyard, Ye Jinqing saw that several simple tents had been temporarily erected with bamboo in the courtyard, and some soldiers who had been injured in the previous battles were sitting or lying in them.
At a cursory glance, these people were not seriously injured, they were all simply bandaged, and several medicine boys who were not much older than her shuttled back and forth to change bandages for these soldiers, or brought boiled Chinese medicine and distributed it to the soldiers.
Entering the inner hall, there were some painful ** sounds coming from the house.
Ye Jinqing saw at a glance that Dai Lao was standing in one place, treating the wounds of an injured soldier, and another general-like person next to him helped press it.
Ye Jinqing didn't dare to walk in, for fear of disturbing Dai Lao.
I saw Dai Lao holding a knife that was much smaller and thinner than an ordinary dagger. first burned the candle flame on the side, and then dipped it into the small bowl placed on the side, and with a bang, Ye Jinqing smelled a little wafting aroma of wine.
Dai Lao flipped his nimble fingers and removed the carrion from a somewhat rotting wound on the soldier's shoulder.
The soldier bit the wooden stick wrapped in cotton cloth in his mouth, his expression was hideous, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and the green tendons on his arms on his neck were even more frightening, but he didn't make a sound when he carried it.
Ye Jinqing had never seen such a battle, looking at Dai Lao's knife going down, she felt that the knife seemed to be on her, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.
In the end, Ye Jinqing couldn't help but hurriedly walked out of the inner hall, sitting on a threshold in the outer hall, and Su Xing stood silently beside her.
"Are you little medicine boy hiding here and being lazy?"
Ye Jinqing was full of thoughts about what she had just seen when she suddenly heard a crisp female voice in her ears.
The soldiers in the outer hall who had been slightly injured all got up when they saw the woman in the miscellaneous drooping blouse.
"Miss Zhou is here."
"Hello Miss Zhou."
It can be seen that this week's girl is quite popular among these soldiers. Ye Jinqing turned her head and saw two women walking slowly towards her. Obviously, the one in front is the girl Zhou in the soldier's mouth
"What a coincidence, Su Xing. You're here, but your master is here. As she spoke, Zhou Qingwan looked into the inner hall.
"Back to Miss Zhou, the master is still in the county guard's mansion."
"Well, that's it." Zhou Qingwan couldn't hide the disappointment in her tone, "Then why are you here?" ”
Although Su Xing was not as delicate as Su Zhe, he also knew at this time that if he directly said that he was escorting Su An over, he would inevitably have to attract a tongue for his master, and when he was thinking about how to reply, Ye Jinqing opened his mouth first.
"This sister was brought to me by Brother Su, I have been interested in pharmacology since I was a child, and I heard the master mention Master Dai's medical skills, so I wanted to come and see her. Sister, can you not tell the master, did Brother Su bring me out. ”
Zhou Qingwan looked at the little medicine boy with a good face in front of her, and said, "I'm still weird, when did such a cute little medicine boy come to this medical hall, it turned out to be someone from Master Su's side." ”
Knowing that Ye Jinqing was the person next to Su Xuan, the more Zhou Qingwan looked at her, the more pleasing she felt. couldn't help bending down and pinching Ye Jinqing's tender little face.
There is also Su Xuan who dares to keep a waiter of this color by his side, and he changes others, and as soon as this little waiter stands next to him, the master's limelight must not be covered by this little waiter.
Thinking like this, Su Xuan's gorgeous face involuntarily appeared in Zhou Qingwan's mind, and Zhou Qingwan's cheeks also flushed.
"Miss." Dong Zhu, who was standing behind Zhou Qingwan, said loudly.
Her own young lady's hand was still pinching the little boy's face, although this little waiter was not very old, but after all, he was a foreign man, and it was still inappropriate for everyone to see it.
Hearing Dongzhu's voice, Zhou Qingwan woke up like a dream and put her hand down, Ye Jinqing's cheeks couldn't help but leave a faint red mark.
Seeing that he accidentally pinched it out very red, which was very conspicuous on his white and tender face, Zhou Qing said with shame: "It's my sister who is careless, but it still hurts." Winter bamboo, quick, go get the clotted jade dew. ”
If it hurts, Ye Jinqing just shouted, she knows that her skin, even if she scratches it lightly, it will be red for a long time. It's scary to look at, but it's not a big deal.
"Back to Miss Zhou, Su An doesn't hurt, but it looks a little worse."
Zhou Qingwan was comforting her when Ye Jinqing was comforting her, and the pity in her eyes became stronger. Pulled Ye Jinqing aside and smeared the condensed jade dew finely.
The jade dew was moist and watery on her face, and it happened that Ye Jinqing had been blown by the cold wind here in the past few days, but she didn't expect the condensed jade dew to be applied on her face, and the pain was alleviated a lot, and she didn't refuse at the moment, so she let Zhou Wanqing help her apply it.
"Your name is Su An, so shall I call you An Anke?"
Receiving the favor of others, Ye Jinqing would certainly not refuse Zhou Qingwan's request, and nodded obediently.
"Then An An came today to learn medicine from Master Dai?"
Ye Jinqing originally had this idea, staying alone in the county guard mansion and doing nothing, it was better to come here to help Master Dai. But the bloody scene just now lingered in her mind, making her hesitate.
Zhou Qingwan didn't know Ye Jinqing's thoughts, but she fell in love with this little boy, not to mention that he was still a person by Su Xuan's side.
Zhou Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "If you don't feel at ease, follow me to study medicine, although my medical skills are not as proficient as Master Dai, but I also know a little bit about it." ”
Ye Jinqing looked at Zhou Qingwan, who was dressed as an official lady, and was a little surprised.
"Zhou Yatou's words are modest, your attainments in pharmacology are far from being old."
Dai Lao didn't know when he was already busy, and when he went out, he happened to hear the conversation between the two.
"An An, you are blessed to follow Zhou Yatou, Zhou Yatou has made a lot of good things. Besides, I am good at treating trauma, and Zhou Yatou still knows a lot about this pharmacology.
Ye Jinqing and Zhou Qingwan saw Dai Lao walk out, and both of them saluted.
"Master Dai elevates the little girl like this, I can't afford it." Zhou Qingwan half-jokingly.
How do you know that Dai Lao Zhengse said: "If it wasn't for the girl you helped in this medical hall before, before I came, I don't know how many injured soldiers would have lost their lives in vain, how could you not afford it." ”
Master Dai said seriously, the little girl just made a modest contribution to the soldiers. The soldiers threw their heads and spilled blood for Zhenbei Pass, and I couldn't wait to be a man, and I also went into battle to kill the enemy. ”
"Haha, well, it's worthy of General Zhou's daughter." Dai Lai stroked the white beard and said with a smile, "An An, you can follow Zhou Yatou, there are still some patients to see in the old decay." ”
Hearing this, Ye Jinqing knew that the woman in front of him was actually the daughter of Zhou Kairen, the general who defended the city.
After this door, it was really different from those writhing official women in Jinyang, Ye Jinqing's heart couldn't help but kiss this Sister Zhou for two points.
"It turns out that Sister Zhou is a tiger girl, disrespectful and disrespectful." Ye Jinqing hugged his fists.
"Okay, you kid is also here to tease my sister and me." Zhou Qingwan pretended to be angry and reached out to grab Ye Jinqing, and the two of them laughed.
Dong Zhu watched from the side and frowned frequently, and Su Xing stood aside, still coldly frosted.
Ye Jinqing and Zhou Qingwan spent an afternoon, both of them had a bit of a sense of seeing each other and hating each other, and when the evening approached, the two had to say goodbye, so they got into the carriage and went home, and before leaving, the two made an appointment to meet in the hospital the next day.
Zhou Qingwan got into the carriage, saw Dongzhu looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Okay, Dongzhu, what do you want to say." ”
"Miss, this matter is urgent, and the master allowed you to come out to practice medicine, but now you have accepted a man and handed him over his medical skills, which damages your reputation, Miss." After getting the permission of his own lady, Dongzhu poured beans and said everything.
"Dongzhu, do you listen to me?"
"Of course, Miss."
Zhou Wanqing patted Dongzhu on the shoulder and said, "That's fine, if you don't say it, I won't say it, how do you know that I took a man as an apprentice in the medical hall." ”
When Dongzhu heard this, she looked like she wanted to cry without tears, and Zhou Qingwan didn't pay attention to her, and thought of her own thoughts.
