Chapter 33: Rescue
The next day, when Zhangzhu and Baoyan went to the cave again, there was no one left, and there was nothing left on the ground, but there was nothing left on the ground.
It seems that they have already descended the mountain, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with the palm beads.
This small episode did not affect the pace of Zhangzhu's progress, and she was still buried in the days of making medicine and treating people.
Until the water purifier hurriedly came to tell Zhangzhu: "Quickly clean up and follow me down the mountain." ”
Seeing that Master Shui Jing rarely showed a frightened expression, Zhangzhu knew that something big had happened, and she could still nod calmly and said, "Okay, I'll go with Mrs. Shui, what do I need to prepare?" ”
"A lot of hemostatic drugs, the more the merrier."
When Zhangzhu heard this, she asked Baoyan to start, and she soon got busy, until she packed a big bag, Shui Jing asked Zhangzhu to bring Baoyan with her, and she herself brought Faqing with her, and the four of them hurried down the mountain.
Bao Yan and Zhangzhu also learned from Fa Qing that a nearby village had been attacked, and it was said that there were heavy casualties.
Zhangzhu's heart jumped, and he asked Shui Jing: "Mrs. Shi, did the Wuyi people do it?" ”
Shui Jing nodded and said, "The people who heard the news said that those thugs were dressed in black and their eyes were blue. ”
Sure enough, it was the Wuyi people, when she was still Xie Ruoyi, she heard her father talk about the western part of Dachu and the border of the Wuyi country, those Wuyi people took advantage of the turmoil in the early years to provoke Dachu, burning, killing and looting, and then the imperial court sent troops to fight back, and the Wuyi people did not get any benefits, and they were silent for decades, but now they are starting to do evil again. It's really not peaceful today.
They walked for miles until they finally came to the village. When Zhangzhu saw the tall acacia tree at the entrance of the village, she remembered that she had come here with her master to treat people. This village used to be inhabited by seventy or eighty families, all honest and dutiful households, but now this catastrophe has befallen them.
When Bao Yan and Fa Qing arrived at the entrance of the village, they were a little timid and did not dare to go inside, Shui Jing glanced at them and said, "If you don't dare to go, stay here." ”
Bao Yan and Fa Qing nodded again and again: "Okay, we will wait here for Mrs. Shi and the girl to come back." ”
Shui Jing then added, "But I can't guarantee that you won't meet any Wuyi people. ”
Bao Yan and Fa Qing were so frightened that the two hugged each other tightly, and had to follow behind in fear. Zhangzhu was fearless and kept walking towards the village. Descending a hill, you can already see the houses.
At this time, I vaguely saw a figure approaching them, it could be a Da Chu person. Zhangzhu was stunned, she picked up a wooden stick on the side of the road, and continued to walk in front, until the person was close, only to see that it was an old man.
"Shitai, save us, save us, many people have died in the village."
Shuijing's heart had sunk to the bottom, and she hurriedly said, "I'm here to save you." "The old man was lame, and it was not easy to walk, so he led the way in front of him, and began to cry with Shuijing.
"Those Wuyi people who killed a thousand knives broke into our village, either burning or looting, and those who resisted a little were killed with one sword."
"How many people came?" Zhangzhu asked nervously.
"There were about a dozen people, and they were riding horses in black clothes and black masks. He can shoot arrows and use knives. ”
"Something so big, is there no one in the yamen?"
The lame old man said tremblingly: "I came, I passed it once yesterday afternoon, and I left after asking." ”
Zhangzhu unconsciously bit her lip, she clenched the wooden stick in her hand, and they followed into the village. The cries came and went, and Shui Jing and Zhangzhu rescued the injured when they saw them, and there was no distinction between men, women, and children. Although Bao Yan and Fa Qing are timid, they can also help at this critical juncture.
An elderly woman had her arm cut off by the hateful Wuyi people in order to protect her grandson, and because she was not treated in a timely and effective manner, she lost too much blood and is now dying.
Seeing this, Zhangzhu wanted to give priority to rescuing the old man, but the old man refused to accept Zhangzhu's treatment.
"I'm this age, it doesn't matter if I'm dead. As long as your grandson is alive and well, you can save others and leave me alone. ”
"No, as a doctor, how can you see death and not save it. I will do everything I can to save you, your grandson still needs your protection, you have to live well! Zhangzhu took out the contents of the baggage and asked Bao Yan to help.
Bao Yan saw that the old woman didn't even have an arm anymore, and she was trembling all the time, and she didn't even listen to what Zhangzhu said to her. Later, Zhangzhu had to laugh at her and yelled: "Why are you stunned, hurry, help me." If you don't step up, you really don't have a chance. ”
Bao Yan was a little sober when she was yelled at by the palm beads, and hurriedly said, "Yes, girl, you command, what should I do." ”
Zhangzhu encouraged the elderly: "Life is equal, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up, and please don't give up to the elderly." ”
Zhangzhu asked the old man's little grandson to boil water, the child was only five or six years old, he had already been scared stupid when such a disaster happened, and now he was a little more sober when he saw that people were trying their best to save his grandmother, and hurried to do what Zhangzhu said.
Zhangzhu worked hard to treat the injured old lady, she used almost everything she had learned, but after all, the old man's skills were far from being compared with the young man, and his body was not very good, and he was hit hard, so it was difficult to have a turnaround. From noon to dusk, Zhangzhu kept thinking of a way, but in the end, she still couldn't save the old man.
The old man was sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and she saw that this little girl was trying so hard to save her, and she herself tried hard to live, but it was still too late after all.
In the first moment before he closed his eyes forever, the old man kept holding his grandson's hand.
The little boy shouted loudly: "Grandma, grandma......"
It's a pity that the old man couldn't respond to her grandson anymore and left this world forever.
After working hard for so long, she still couldn't save the old man's life, and her palms fell to her side, and Bao Yan also cried bitterly.
Listening to the cries of the two, Zhangzhu's face was blank, she couldn't stay here for too long, there were others to treat, she didn't have time to grieve.
"Bao Yan, get up, let's go save the next person."
Bao Yan choked up and said, "Girl, I'm afraid. ”
"We don't have time, we don't have time to grieve, we don't have time to be afraid. We're going to move forward, get up, I need your help. ”
"Yes!"
The master and servant finally left the house, and then went to the second house, where the injured man was a middle-aged man who had been stabbed in the chest, so that he could be out of position a little more, otherwise he would have died on the spot. Zhangzhu quickly devoted herself to treatment, and she had to hurry up to save one by one.
