"Little Li's body was hit by eight arrows. Apart from the four arrows on his hands and feet, the Jianjing and Qiepeng acupoints on his shoulders, there were also arrows on his right rib and the Tianchi acupoint on his left chest. From the current situation, it is mainly because the Tianchi acupoint on his left chest was injured, causing the meridians of Qichong, Guanmen, Nipple Root and Qihu to be oppressed. His qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, causing the Tianzhu, Fengfu and Baihui acupoints at the back of his head to be blocked with blood, making it difficult for him to wake up. And according to my deduction, not only his left chest, there must be a blood clot in his lower abdomen to his dantian, causing him to feel unbearable pain and obstructing his qi and blood. To treat the swelling and blood clot in the lower abdomen, you must use saffron, honey, Platycodon and young chrysanthemum to unblock the meridians. "
Gao Qiu's eloquence flowed like a river, his hands waving and his saliva spraying all over the ground, explaining Li Wuling's injuries to the people in the tent. His gestures were swift and elegant. If one did not know clearly, they would have thought that he was a national expert in medical school.
What Tianchi, Fengfu, Platycodon and young chrysanthemum, swelling and blood clot in the lower abdomen, Old Gao's mouth was full of professional jargon, making Hu Bugui wipe the beads of sweat on the bridge of his nose. Lin Wanrong's veins were bulging on his forehead, cold sweat pouring down. According to Old Gao's analysis, why were Little Li's symptoms so similar to menstrual cramps? Old Gao, could it be that he was a gynecologist?
"That, big brother Gao, can you explain it in simpler terms?" Wiping his cold sweat with his sleeve, Lin Wanrong said with lingering fear, "Just tell me, why is Little Li's heart still beating, but he still can't wake up?"
Gao Qiu nodded, saying seriously, "From my experience of traveling the Jianghu and saving lives, although the arrowhead in Little Li's body has been pulled out, but his meridians are being squeezed by abnormal blood and qi, making it difficult to circulate — —"
"Big brother Gao, you want to say that the nerves in Little Li's chest are being oppressed, causing his brain to not have enough blood supply, is that what you mean?" Lin Wanrong interrupted Old Gao's words, getting straight to the point.
Gao Qiu clapped his hands in joy, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Aiya, Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be an expert like me. For such profound knowledge, I only need to explain one thing, and you already understand! "
Xing Lin expert?! Bah! Lin Wanrong fiercely spat out a mouthful of saliva, full of disdain towards this dog-headed doctor.
Hu Bugui could roughly see that something was wrong. He pulled Old Gao and whispered, "Brother Gao, how many patients have you cured in the past?"
Gao Qiu said confidently, "Old Hu, you still don't believe me? I, Old Gao, have roamed the Jianghu for more than twenty years. All the patients that have fallen into my hands, other than those who have died from my treatment, the rest are all dead. There is nothing that cannot be cured! "
Hu Bugui rolled his eyes, completely speechless.
It had been four hours since they left Bayanhaote, and the sky gradually brightened. In the morning wind and cold mist of the grassland, the dew was bright. It wet the hooves of the horses and moistened everyone's cheeks. Four soldiers carried Li Wuling's stretcher and walked cautiously. The soldiers spontaneously shielded Little Li in the middle, shielding him from the cold wind and rain.
Among these five thousand soldiers, in terms of martial arts, Gao Qiu deserved to be number one. Medical and martial arts were interlinked. Since Old Gao's martial arts were not bad, he should also have some medical skills. Who would have thought that this fellow was an embroidered pillow. After talking for half a day, it was still not as clear as Lin Wanrong's words. It seemed that all the time he had spent practicing his medical skills in the Eight Great Alleys.
But Li Wuling was seriously injured. Among the five thousand soldiers of the army, only Old Gao, a dabbler doctor, could explain something. The others were even worse. It seemed that they could only pick a general from the dwarves. Looking at Little Li, whose eyes were tightly shut and face pale, Lin Wanrong pulled his hand and smiled silently.
Seeing that Brother Lin did not say a word, Old Gao blushed and said with an awkward smile, "Brother, don't worry, Little Li is blessed and has a good life. He can open his eyes three times before he dies. He will definitely be fine."
Lin Wanrong made a rough judgment in his heart. Li Wuling must have been hit by an arrow in the left side of his chest. One of his nerves was greatly oppressed, which caused his blood flow to be impeded and his breathing to be difficult. In his previous life, this kind of serious injury could be saved through thoracic surgery. But now, he was in the vast prairie. Although there were five thousand machetemen, there was not a single one who could use a scalpel.
Lin Wanrong nodded and sighed helplessly, "Brother Gao, in your opinion, how can we unblock Little Li's blood vessels?"
Knowing that Brother Lin was also a "Xinglin expert", Gao Qiu did not dare to boast anymore. He said cautiously, "There is no need to talk about the treatment of external injuries. I have already given Little Li a good medicine to prevent the wound from festering. But it is not easy to control the internal injuries. It needs to be treated internally and applied externally, blood circulation to remove blood stasis, and the help of good medicinal herbs. Right now, Little Li's heartbeat is very weak. He is relying on his last breath to support himself. If he is not treated in time, I am afraid he will become fierce again. "
This time, Gao Qiu was not talking nonsense. Little Li's breathing was weak. This was a fact that everyone knew. But in the vast prairie, where could they find good medicinal herbs to invigorate blood circulation? When the army crossed the natural stronghold, they were light and simple. Even the most commonly used medicinal herbs were very few. Not to mention those good medicinal herbs to invigorate blood circulation.
Everyone was silent for a while. They did not know what to say with a heavy heart. Li Wuling's resurrection had given this lone army that had gone deep into the prairie an incomparably great courage and confidence. No one could bear the pain of losing him again. That would be a fatal blow to everyone.
"Medicinal herbs! Where can we find medicinal herbs?! "Lin Wanrong muttered to himself with a frown.
Five thousand horses galloped forward under the rainbow glow of the morning sun. The clattering of hooves shook the prairie, and besides the neighing of the horses, there was not a single cough. The atmosphere was extremely serene. Everyone was worried about Li Wuling's injuries.
"Reporting — —" A rider galloped over, and the shout of the scout roused the silent Lin Wanrong. "Reporting to general, there are traces of the Hu forty li ahead!"
"What?!" Lin Wanrong was shocked. Although he had already prepared himself, he could not have imagined that in just a few hours, the Turks would appear only forty li away.
Hu Bugui's face was also full of astonishment as he asked anxiously, "Where did this cavalry come from? How many people are there?! "
The scout shook his head. "Reporting to general, they are not Turkic cavalry, but a Hu caravan. There are only a few hundred of them."
"A Hu caravan?!"
Lin Wanrong was dumbfounded, then suddenly exclaimed in joy, "If they are a caravan, then they must have medicinal herbs!"
Hu Bugui also reacted, anxiously saying, "That's right. Tea leaves, silk and medicinal herbs, any Hu caravan that has come to China will definitely have these treasures. This time Little Li can be saved! "
Lin Wanrong waved his hand. "Order all the scouts ahead to conceal their tracks and monitor the movements of this caravan. Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly. "
"Yes sir!" The scout hurriedly galloped back. Hu Bugui let out a long sigh, excitedly waving his fists. "This is really like a long drought meeting a good rain, whatever we want has come. The Turkic caravans have never returned empty-handed from China, so they will definitely have good medicinal herbs. "
Lin Wanrong was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Brother Hu, have you ever thought, in this chaotic time of war, why would a Hu caravan suddenly appear in front of us?"
Hu Bugui was not an idiot, hearing this, he was shocked. "General, you mean, there is a trap?!"
Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. "Whether there is a trap or not, I don't dare to jump to conclusions. It's just that the time and place of their appearance are too coincidental — — so close to Bayanhaote, and just after our surprise attack on Bayanhaote! "
With this reminder, Hu Bugui suddenly felt that this matter was too coincidental. However, to say that this was a trick of the Hu, he did not believe it. Firstly, judging from the time, the news of the surprise attack on Bayanhaote should have just reached the ears of the Hu, and it was impossible for them to have already sent out a caravan to wait for the lone China army on the grasslands. Secondly, there was no need to play such a trick. If the Turks really found them, they could have sent a large number of cavalry to kill them. What was the meaning of sending such a caravan?
Lin Wanrong also thought of Old Hu's doubts. This was also what he was puzzled about. Could it really be a coincidence?
"A Hu caravan?!" Gao Qiu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly raised his head and said mysteriously, "Brother Lin, could it be that person?"
He clenched his fists and put them by his mouth, as if he was going to blow a trumpet. Lin Wanrong was confused. "Brother Gao, who is it? Who are you talking about?! "
Gao Qiu chuckled. "Brother, have you forgotten? The one we met in Xingqing Prefecture, the one whose rouge you've eaten — — "
"Yueya?!" Lin Wanrong was taken aback. At this time, Old Gao was still thinking about a Turkic woman. Besides, Yueya was tasting a jade reed, while Old Gao was making a gesture of blowing a trumpet. There was a world of difference between them!
Gao Qiu nodded solemnly. "Very likely. Brother Lin, think about it, this is the only Turkic caravan we've seen these days. If it wasn't that Turkic girl, who else could it be?! "
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. There were hundreds of caravans traveling between China and the Turks, how could he be sure that this was Yueya's caravan? It seemed like Gao Qiu would not rest until he had snatched a Turkic woman.
"General, what do we do now?" Hu Bugui asked in a low voice. "This caravan, do we eat or not?"
Looking at the sleeping face of Li Wuling on the stretcher, Lin Wanrong clenched his teeth and waved his hand. "For Little Li, we have no other choice! Brother Hu, brother Gao, follow me up to take a look. Hyah — — "
With a flick of his whip, the Turkic horse whinnied and galloped into the air. In the vast expanse of light, the man and horse became a black dot in the distance, leaving a trail of dust behind them. Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu hurriedly urged their horses to follow behind him.
As the three galloped, they could see the camouflaged figures of their scouts hiding in the grass. Lin Wanrong jumped down to their side and whispered, "How is it, has the caravan arrived yet?"
While he was speaking, Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu had also rushed over. The scout whispered back, "The caravan is still five li away, it won't be long before they pass by."
Lin Wanrong nodded and did not say anything. The three of them and the scouts concealed themselves.
Their clothes were soaked in dew, the cold feeling penetrating into their bones. The fragrance of the earth was mixed with the thick scent of grass. Lin Wanrong took in a deep breath, his expression excited.
Ding dang — —
Ding dang — —
In the distance, the clear and melodious sound of camel bells drifted into their ears. More than thirty horses slowly trotted over, entering their line of sight. The Turkic merchants riding on the horses were dressed in long robes and had a saber hanging from their waist. Their deep blue eyes shone with a dark light. They were loudly chatting and shouting as they leisurely rode forward, completely unaware of the danger that was right in front of them.
There were several dozen large carriages in the middle of the caravan, and from the bent backs of the camels and the creaking of the wheels, one could tell that there were many valuable goods hidden in these carriages.
"Eh, why don't I see Yueya 'er?" Gao Qiu hid next to Lin Wanrong, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth as he looked around. The name 'Yueya' had been given to the Turkic girl by Lin Wanrong, and Old Gao had borrowed it, but he did not regard himself as an outsider. He looked around for a long time, but all he saw were Turkic men, not a single woman, much less that fairy-like 'Yueya'. Disappointment was written all over his face.
Lin Wanrong chuckled. It was better that 'Yueya' was not in this caravan. Otherwise, if I were to fight and I saw this Turkic beauty, should I kill her or not?
Chuckling to himself, he saw that the caravan was gradually entering his range of attack. He nodded his head and was just about to give the order when he suddenly heard a ding. A small green horse with an exquisite bell hanging from its neck suddenly leaped out of the Hu's ranks. The sound of its hooves clattering incessantly could be heard.
The rider on the horse wore a small golden rug on her head and a black silk skirt with a red background. Her legs were slender and powerful, and her figure was as graceful as a willow. As the horse galloped forward, the thin veil on her face would occasionally rise and fall, and her translucent skin would glimmer with a beautiful gold in the faint light of the morning sun. Her eyes were as moist as spring water, tinged with a deep blue. When she smiled, her eyes would slightly curve, making them seem like the most beautiful crescent moons in the sky!
