Chapter 565: Chapter 565, Making Trouble (15th Update)
“The grandfather’s needling technique is exquisite!” Xie Zhinuan said, pursing her lips, “Grandfather, when will you teach me how to perform acupuncture?”
Dugu Zhen didn’t refuse but stretched out his hand toward Xie Zhinuan.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan let out a breath and placed a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
Dugu Zhen hummed, “First memorize the human body acupoint chart when you have time, then I’ll teach you!”
“Alright!”
Uncle Mute smiled without speaking; his eyes were gentle.
“Uh…” The carriage came to a stop.
“What happened?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“Miss, there’s someone by the roadside ahead!” a guard said softly.
Xie Zhinuan lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look.
It wasn’t just someone, but a bloodied person, whose original appearance was obscured by blood.
“…”
She didn’t really want to meddle in other’s affairs.
But she still got down from the carriage slowly, walked over, and turned the person over, reaching out to check for breath, “There’s still breath!”
She had someone e over and help lift the person onto the carriage.
After a careful examination, the external injuries were severe, and the internal injuries were not light, especially the lumbar vertebrae, which seemed to be broken.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan dared not move her carelessly.
Dugu Zhen also squatted down to examine, and the two children sat on the soft cushions, watching attentively.
“The lumbar spine is broken here!” Dugu Zhen said softly.
He was very reluctant, but he took out a medicine pill, crushed it, and dissolved a small part in water.
Suddenly, the fragrance of medicine filled the carriage.
The two children quickly inhaled deeply; Xie Yi and Qin Mao had drunk a lot of spiritual spring water and, smelling the sweet scent of the medicine pill, inhaled forcefully, their faces filled with enjoyment.
Dugu Zhen held up the cup and fed the water with a bit of medicine froth to the woman.
Xie Zhinuan, seeing how distressed he was, felt an indescribable sensation.
Perhaps this was genuine passion.
He was a cantankerous and somewhat cruel old man, but when facing the injured, he plained even as he took out the hard-won medicine pill from her, and although only a small amount was given, it was very rare for the stingy Dugu Zhen.
Xie Zhinuan felt as if she had learned another lesson.
Upon returning to the Xie Residence, Xie Zhinuan settled the patient in bed, instructed Aunt Chen to clean her, apply medicine, and use wooden boards to stabilize the waist, hoping the spine would heal.
The most critical aspect was that in the ing days, for eating, drinking, and relieving herself, she could only do it in bed and would require someone to attend to her, otherwise…
“Aunt Chen, if you are thinking of caring for her, I’ve written a prescription. Have someone fetch the herbs listed on it, brew the medicine when they return, and feed it to her once she wakes up!”
Xie Zhinuan still had to go to the shop.
She hurried over and from a distance heard a motion. It was nothing more than people feeling Xie Zhinuan had broken her promise, that even if she wasn’t ing, she should have said something, and so on.
Xie Zhinuan got down from the carriage and looked coldly at the few people causing trouble.
These people had e yesterday, the day before as well, and she had not exposed them yet, but today they had e to make trouble.
Xie Zhinuan looked at them so coldly and said nothing, which made several people somewhat nervous.
“What, can’t I go out on a medical visit?” Xie Zhinuan said sternly.
“Originally, I could wait a few more days, but seeing how ugly you all are eating, today will be the last day. Starting tomorrow, I won’t be taking pulses anymore!”
Having said that, Xie Zhinuan turned to the guard and manded, “Let’s begin!”
She knew those people were there to make trouble, definitely sent by the posthouse, afraid that if her medical skills were truly unparalleled, all the patients would e to her in the future.
If she were to open a pharmacy, those other pharmacies would probably not be able to continue operating.
