CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 117 IS REALLY URGENT, SORRY ABOUT THAT

Just as someone entered her courtyard, Yunyi was thinking. Should she wait for them to come into the room before dealing with them, or go out and confront them directly? Then, she saw the person heading straight for her window.

Before she could decide, she saw that person raising their hand to knock on the window.

It was only then that Yunyi recognized Liu Chenglin outside her window. Pretending to be unaware, she called out, "Who is it?"

Liu Chenglin sounded somewhat anxious. "Chu Zhiqing, it’s really urgent. I’m sorry."

Yunyi thought of the injury he had suffered previously and couldn’t help but ask, "What, are you injured again?"

Liu Chenglin knew Yunyi had misunderstood. "No, it’s my friend. I need your help."

Yunyi felt somewhat displeased. What was all this? Just what was Liu Chenglin’s identity? If he turned out to be a bad person, wouldn’t she be aiding tyranny?

Not hearing a response from Yunyi, Liu Chenglin quickly explained, "Chu Zhiqing, rest assured. I guarantee they are not bad people."

Once he said that, Yunyi felt relieved. There was only one possibility: they were officials on duty, out on a mission. "Wait a moment," she said.

She dressed, grabbed her medical kit, and then opened the door. "Where’s the patient?" she asked.

Liu Chenglin pointed towards his own courtyard. "I came back to find you first. They’ll be here shortly."

She had no intention of climbing the wall again. She simply opened the courtyard gate. "Let’s go."

The two of them entered Liu Chenglin’s courtyard one after the other.

Yunyi said, "Go boil a pot of water and keep it ready."

Just as the hot water finished boiling, there was a commotion at the main gate.

Liu Chenglin immediately threw down the firewood in his hands and ran out. "They’ve arrived!"

Listening to the footsteps, it seemed there were quite a few people. Yunyi added another log to the stove. She hurriedly scooped some hot water out to wash her hands and then waited in the courtyard with her medical kit.

Liu Chenglin entered with his group. "Hurry, bring the person inside!"

Without waiting for his instruction, Yunyi followed them in.

However, she hadn’t even reached the injured person when she heard someone speak in a harsh tone, "Liu Chenglin, don’t tell me the doctor you found is *her*."

Liu Chenglin glared at the speaker. "Chu Zhiqing’s medical skills are excellent. How could I possibly harm my own brother?"

Yunyi ignored their words and turned her attention to the patient’s blood-soaked clothes. "Help him remove his clothes."

Having said that, she opened her medical kit and took out a set of silver needles.

Although Liu Chenglin was still confronting the man, he quickly unbuttoned the clothes as Yunyi had requested.

Seeing that the wound was still bleeding, she deftly inserted the needles to stop it. Then she turned to Liu Chenglin, "Bring a basin of warm water from the kitchen."

Liu Chenglin quickly brought the water and also fetched a new towel. "Use this."

Yunyi wrung the towel dry in the water and cleaned around the wound. Only then did she see the shocking knife injury. If it were any deeper, she feared, it might have damaged the intestines. "Leave one person here to assist me," she instructed. "The rest of you, go outside."

Perhaps because they had seen Yunyi’s deft way of stopping the bleeding earlier, the men didn’t argue. They left Liu Chenglin behind. The last one to leave turned and said, "Please, you must save him."

Yunyi didn’t reply but instead carefully checked the wound once more. After confirming no intestines were harmed, she began to treat it. The wound was severe and had to be stitched up.

Fortunately, she had the medical kit as a cover; otherwise, she would have had to make a trip to the village clinic.

After cleaning and stitching the wound, she efficiently applied anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine, then bandaged it well.

Only then did she take the patient’s pulse again. "With a few days of drinking this decoction, he will recover much faster."
