Chapter 203: Purpose
Translator: 549690339
After lunch, Lin Lan told Luo Ziling to rest a bit more, saying she would be back soon.
Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and naturally hopped onto Lin Lan’s bed and carelessly fell asleep.
In less than a minute, he was asleep again until Lin Lan returned.
By the ti Lin Lan ca back, it was already half-past one in the afternoon, more than an hour since they had finished lunch.
“Full belly, enough sleep, now I can risk my life for you guys again,” Luo Ziling joked as he saw Lin Lan walk in.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Lin Lan said with a cold expression, “Co with , we need to treat my comrade’s injuries first.”
“Alright,” Luo Ziling agreed and stood up to follow Lin Lan.
They left the small building where Lin Lan lived and went to another location.
The “Mountain Eagle”, whom Luo Ziling had previously fought with, ca forward and extended his hand. “Mr. Luo, I’m sorry to trouble you again today.”
Luo Ziling actually wanted to say that it would be no trouble at all so long as they didn’t pick fights with him. But that was too embarrassing to say out loud, so he could only nod modestly and reply, “It’s not a bother. You fight for our country; I find it an honor to treat you.”
Mountain Eagle smiled and didn’t say much, gesturing for Luo Ziling to co inside with him.
With Mountain Eagle leading the way and Lin Lan and Luo Ziling following, the three entered another small building with a different style.
Once inside, Luo Ziling learned that this was the dormitory area for the Dragon Rise mbers, but the style of the dormitory was different from the houses where Lin Lan stayed. Each room housed several people and the facilities were much more rudintary.
It seed that Lin Lan’s status was not simple; she was among those who enjoyed the treatnt of an officer.
The injured soldier who needed treatnt was in the infirmary. When Luo Ziling entered, a military dical officer in a white coat was treating the soldier’s wound.
Mountain Eagle ordered the military doctor, “Let him do it.”
“Yes,” the dic responded and stepped aside, leaving the bloody scene for Luo Ziling to handle.
A young soldier with a dark complexion had been shot in the leg, seriously wounded. However, the wound had already been debrided. Under normal circumstances, all that was needed was so stitches and a bandage, followed by antibiotic treatnt for a few days, and he should be alright.
After examining the wound, Luo Ziling was surprised and asked Mountain Eagle, “This is a common gunshot wound that didn’t damage the major blood vessels or bones. Your military doctors are totally capable of handling this; why do you need my help?”
Once he had spoken, Luo Ziling felt a bit annoyed, sensing that he was being played. He had thought it was so complex case, but it turned out to be a standard injury. Normal surgeons could handle such wounds, and he was rather irritated.
Lin Lan chid in, “We wanted to see the effect of treating it your way again.”
Luo Ziling was confused and looked at Lin Lan questioningly.
Mountain Eagle gave Lin Lan a look, and understanding the cue, she told Luo Ziling to speak with her in private for a mont.
“Let’s treat the wound first,” treatnt was always the priority. Regardless of their intentions, Luo Ziling would not delay a soldier’s treatnt.
If the treatnt was interrupted, that would not only increase the risk of infection but also intensify the pain suffered by the soldier.
Without waiting for any reaction from Mountain Eagle or Lin Lan, Luo Ziling took several needles from his pocket, sterilized them with alcohol, and without hesitation, inserted them into the injured soldier’s leg. He used his acupuncture skill to stop the bleeding, then carefully cleaned the wound and applied Golden Healing Powder, a secret concoction from his family, to the soldier.
Where the wound had been constantly bleeding, the flow of blood slowed considerably after Luo Ziling’s needlework. Once he poured in his powder, the bleeding stopped imdiately. After the bleeding had ceased, Luo Ziling carefully applied more powder and then instructed the military doctor to help bandage the wound tightly and properly.
“No need for stitches?” The military doctor appeared very surprised.
The soldier’s wound was quite large, and by normal standards, it certainly required stitching to aid healing.
Otherwise, there would definitely be a very large scar, and it might not heal properly.
“It’s fine, you’ll see the results tomorrow,” Luo Ziling waved his hand nonchalantly.
The military doctor wanted to say sothing else, but was stopped by Lin Lan. “My wound was treated by him, and there’s not a single scar.”
Lin Lan’s words left the military doctor speechless.
After treating the young soldier’s wounds, Luo Ziling stood up, packed up his things, and gestured for Lin Lan to talk outside.
“What’s the aning of this?” Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan sowhat unfriendly.
“We are interested in your Golden Healing Powder,” Lin Lan didn’t hide it, “We have already witnessed the miraculous effects of your self-made dicine, but many people still don’t believe it, and our leaders want to see the results for themselves.”
“That’s your business, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with ,” Luo Ziling beca even more displeased, they were actually doubting the effectiveness of his dicine.
“If the dicine is indeed very effective, we will want it,” Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling seriously, “You should know the benefits that the military could bring you if they decide to procure this dicine.”
These words made Luo Ziling pause for a mont before shaking his head, “Even if you want to procure it, there won’t be a chance. The dicine is handcrafted by my grandfather and according to a secret recipe, and we only have a very limited quantity. It can’t be mass-produced.”
Now it was Lin Lan’s turn to be taken aback. After thinking for a mont, she said, “Then sell the secret recipe to us, the military will definitely pay a high price.”
“Impossible.” Luo Ziling shook his head without hesitation, “That’s the Luo Family’s secret recipe, used to treat the sick and save lives; it cannot be sold.”
“Working with us could bring you many benefits.” After thinking it over, Lin Lan decided to try a different approach, “Moreover, this dicine could save the lives of many soldiers. I owe my life to your dicine from last ti.”
Luo Ziling was not interested in making money, so he imdiately rejected Lin Lan’s lure of benefits.
But her latter argunt about saving the lives of soldiers moved him.
“I’ll go back and think about it.” In the end, he didn’t reject Lin Lan outright.
“Good,” Lin Lan agreed, even revealing a rare smile, “I think the commander will also talk to you about this tomorrow, he will personally witness the miracle.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about it then, and besides, my grandfather has to agree. If he doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do,” Luo Ziling brought up his grandfather.
“I will report your comnts to my superiors,” Lin Lan said, then made a ‘please’ gesture to Luo Ziling, “Follow .”
“Where to?” Checking the ti, it was already past two in the afternoon, and Luo Ziling wanted to head back; Yang Qingyin was treating him to a big al tonight.
“Our battalion commander wants to compare martial arts skills with you.”
“The battalion commander?” Luo Ziling seed quite surprised, “Didn’t you say it was a woman?”
“That’s right.”
